The Country of Emerald is a member country of the World Government and one of the fifty countries of the World Conference.

Located on the main channel in the first half of the Grand Route, the country is, as its name suggests, rich in emeralds and gemstones. Even among the participating countries, it is also a relatively powerful country.

The reason is of course because having money, well, having money is great.

The land area of ​​the Kingdom of Emerald is not large, but the population is large. The capital, Emerald City, is also known as the dream city on this route. The entire royal capital has a population of more than one million, with a population of nearly three million.

The population of the royal capital exceeds the total population of 80% of the countries in the world.

Such a huge city, coupled with enough money, naturally gave birth to strong commercial capabilities.

There are two natural deep-water ports alone, and there are nearly ten inland river ports. Just look at the ships and people flowing to and from the port every day, and you will know how prosperous it is here.

The Emerald City has money, and naturally it also has strong military strength. The main editor has three legions of crazy lions, tigers and giant sharks, with a total of about 300,000 people.

Coupled with the large number of city guards, police forces, etc., this town has more than 400,000 available troops, making it a well-deserved behemoth on this day's route.

In addition, the royal family Dracula has a very good relationship with the World Government and the Navy. The Emerald City is only about three days' flight from the Naval Fortress G-4, and there is also a naval base in the city.

In a place like this, few pirates dare to be too showy. Although all pirates covet the wealth of this town, there have been many bold guys who have tried to do this in the past, but the final outcome was not good.

Over time, pirates have become very disciplined here.

It is said that snakes have snake ways. Pirates are a species that has always been banned in this world. In addition, pirates never know what saving money is. They burn, kill and loot, and they have amazing wealth. In the Emerald Land,

In this city, there are naturally many people willing to do business with them.

It is much easier to make money from them than from ordinary businessmen and civilians.

Huge interests are involved, and even the royal family that is friendly to the Navy cannot prevent this situation. They can only turn a blind eye and pretend that as long as these pirates don't go too far, they don't see it.

Although the participating countries belong to the world government in name, in fact, apart from providing "heavenly gold" to the Celestial Dragons, the world government cannot control much of their things.

The same goes for the navy. Unless it involves pirates, the navy is not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the participating countries.

Of course, there are times when the navy is strong and the participating countries are weak. Even if they intervene, there is no reason to argue and they can only accept it.

But more often than not, the navy abides by the rules, especially the navy in the Grand Line. Pirates from all over the world and the Grand Line have made them tired to deal with. Many times, for the alliance countries, the navy is more of a role.

Responsibilities of firefighters.

The reason is that the sea in this world is too wide, and there are no satellites or GPS positioning, so it is difficult to detect the whereabouts of pirates.

When the war started at sea, most pirate ships were unable to withstand the navy's artillery fire and could only flee in confusion.

When SWORD was first established, it was to develop some undercover naval agents to join the ranks of pirates, so that they could provide accurate intelligence to the navy and achieve precise annihilation.

Allen's mission is based on this.

…

Galenria Port is one of the two deep-water ports in the Emerald City.

The two ports in the Emerald City have different focuses. This port mainly handles passenger traffic, while the other port mainly handles cargo traffic.

This season is a busy time for the Emerald City. There is still one month left before the Emerald Country’s annual gem exchange conference. Many businessmen and nobles from all over the world have arrived here in advance.

The entire pier was packed with people, and it looked extremely busy and prosperous. There were many city guards and policemen next to the pier to maintain order.

Whenever a ship stops, there will be many local people surrounding it. Some are coolies responsible for helping guests carry things, some are local tour guides, responsible for introducing local customs to guests arriving here for the first time, and so on.

Another huge merchant ship with the flag of the World Government docked at the shore, and a group of people rushed aboard.

It startled the two young men full of aristocratic temperament who had just got off the boat.

One of them was very tall, but he was obviously a young man with yellow hair. His expression was excited. He looked around for a while and whispered: "Hey, good guy, there are so many people, it's really prosperous. This looks much more lively than the port of Malinfando."

"

"Don't be quiet. From now on, don't say anything related to Malinfando, you know? It's not professional at all." Another handsome young man with black hair wearing a suit and a monocle scolded in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Huang Mao didn't dare to say anything.

A middle-aged man came to the two young men first, with a smile on his face: "Hello, gentlemen, I am a resident of Emerald City, my name is Varudo, and I have lived in Emerald City for four years.

Ten years. It seems to me that these two gentlemen are visiting the Emerald City for the first time. I don’t know if they need a guide. Although I can’t say that I am the most powerful of all the guides here, I am definitely the most reassuring one.

.”

As a guide, you don’t have to do anything else, but you must have a good vision.

Although these two guests are young, they are very well-dressed and have a temperament that ordinary people do not have. At first glance, they are people from big families.

It's easy to understand that he didn't bring a bodyguard. Either he was very good, or he was a rookie and sneaked out of the house.

Varudo prefers the first one.

And young people are generally more generous. As long as you satisfy them, you may earn more in tips than if you were a guide yourself.

"Oh, it seems you are very confident." The man wearing a monocle looked at him, his eyes giving people a lot of pressure.

Sure enough, it seems that this young man is not simple. He might find a big customer this time.

Varudo said without being humble or arrogant: "Only professional people have the confidence to be confident. Do you think so, sir?"

"Yes, I like what you said, professionalism creates value, I hope you can have enough value." The young man said with a smile.

Varudo was delighted.

Have more respect for young people. Look at others, they can say such philosophical words casually. This would be strange if they are not from a big family.

It seems that I didn't make any mistakes this time.

He bowed and said: "I will do my best to make you feel that your money is worth it. I don't know what I should call you two gentlemen?"

"Well, I hope so." The young man said noncommittally, "My name is Allen, and he is my brother Rosinand. Now, please help us find a place to live."

"Yes, Mr. Allen, I don't know what your requirements are for accommodation."

There are no other requirements, it is best to be cheap and save money.

Allen almost blurted out, but suddenly remembered that this trip could be reimbursed at public expense, and it was completely inappropriate to say so.
