One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

The straight and flat asphalt road leads to the city along the port. Not far away there is a small sign on the roadside that says 'Port Station No. 17'.

There is also a huge light sign standing next to the bus stop with the slogan 'Be civilized, be polite, and establish new trends!'

After everyone waited in front of the stop sign for a short time, a sightseeing bus drove out from the station in the distance under the curious eyes of everyone.

The vehicle stopped and the driver was very excited to see Anne: "Lord Anne! You are back!"

There were many drivers, but Anne couldn't remember them all. She just greeted them with a smile.

"You're back. You worked hard today."

The driver waved his hand: "No hard work, no hard work. Life is much better now than before. I have to thank you, sir..."

Anne immediately interrupted him: "Don't say that, it's the result of everyone's joint efforts."

If he didn't stop me, I don't know how long this uncle would have to be grateful.

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Uncle driver, let's work first and talk later when we have time. No, we have guests on the island."

The driver raised his eyes and saw that the people behind him were people who often appeared in newspapers. They were no strangers to him. What's more, the war that shocked the world half a month ago attracted everyone's attention.

The driver's originally smiling face suddenly froze when he saw the blue pheasant in the crowd.

He glanced at Annie and saw that she had no reaction. He didn't ask anything, but greeted everyone to get in the car.

"It's been a long time since I've had a guest here. It's such an honor. Get in the car quickly. Although the scenery of our Island 17 is not as good as those tourist attractions, our trade here is developed, the economy is prosperous, and new gadgets from all over the world are available. You can buy it here, so you must take a look around!”

The Straw Hats were very excited, with a faint look of admiration on their faces.

The two sides of the sightseeing car are not closed, there are only railings next to the seats, and there is a roof above the head to protect from rain and sun.

The vehicle started smoothly, and the breeze from all directions blew against the cheeks, making people feel lighter unconsciously.

Luffy and Usopp, who were sitting in the front row, excitedly looked at the surrounding scenery and chatted with the talkative driver.

"Uncle, can you really buy everything here?"

"Of course! As long as there are products in this world, you can buy them here!"

“Fish from the East Sea, wine from the West Sea, fruits from the South Sea, and handicrafts from the North Sea, you can find them all!”

"Really? It's amazing!"

"So cool!"

"Luffy, we are entering the city soon. Don't disturb the driver while he is driving."

"Huh? Why?"

"That would be very dangerous, and it would also cause the uncle to have his salary deducted!"

"Dangerous? What danger?"

Before Annie could answer, everyone was attracted by the bustling and noisy city in front of them.

There are neat high-rise buildings, busy cross streets, neat factories on the periphery, and numerous characteristic buildings.

The overpasses are wide and flat, extending in all directions.The wide road was very clean under the washing of the sprinkler truck, and a steady stream of vehicles galloped happily through the city.

The bustling crowds were like a tidal wave, the neon signs on the billboards were dazzling, and the lights were dim.

"here..."

Everyone in the car was fascinated by this bustling scene, as if they were in a dream world, both fantasy and reality.

"This is so...so cool!"

Luffy subconsciously wanted to stretch out his arm and run out of the car, but when he didn't want to raise his hand, his arm didn't respond.

Annie could tell at a glance what he was up to, and reached out to hold down Luffy, who was about to move, and also held down those hearts that were about to move.

"Luffy! Don't mess around! Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Luffy's expression froze, and Sansan retracted his hand.

"Sorry, Annie, I forgot."

Annie educated the people in the car on the traffic laws.

"Stop when the light is red, go when the light is green, people use the sidewalk, and cars use the roadway. If you rush out like this, you can easily cause a car accident."

"Oh, I know, I won't do it again."

Luffy lowered his head slightly and nodded seriously.

"I will give you a preliminary understanding of my country first, and then you will meet my teacher. In two days you will be able to move around freely."

"Uh-huh!"

From the moment I entered this country, my understanding of the world was being refreshed every minute.

Anne understands it very well. After all, the outside world is still in the steam age, and here has completely entered the era of intelligent industry.

Everything here is something they have never seen before, technology, civilization, humanities, environment...

No matter who sees such a country, they will be a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, Luffy was always on the run and never followed the rules, so Annie paid close attention to him along the way.

"In this country, no matter what your status is, whether it is a citizen or a soldier, everyone, including me, must abide by the laws of the country."

"Burning, killing, looting, injuring, selling, and throwing people are all illegal. Here, people only believe in peace, civilization, law, and the national government."

“People here don’t care about your identity or your race. As long as you are a legal citizen here, the country and the law will protect the legal rights and personal safety of every citizen.

Whether it’s pirates or navy, this is true for humans, and it’s still true for other races.There is no power, no oppression, no discrimination, no so-called superiority, and naturally, no slavery. "

"Everyone, welcome to the free and democratic country, the Republic of Higali!"

Everyone in the car was a little stunned, looking at Annie's figure in a daze.

Especially Jinbei and the Empress, their eyes were empty and unfocused, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

The uncle who was driving saw that the scene was a little quiet, so he smiled and said: "Not long ago, another country merged into our Higali. It seems to be called, So..."

"The Kingdom of Sorbey."

"Yes, yes, this is the kingdom. I heard that they have been in war and poverty before. It is normal for people there not to have enough to eat. When they first moved here, my daughter went to watch the fun. She came back and told me that those people were so skinny from hunger, with big heads and thin bodies, that they looked pitiful.

But things are getting better now. The government has placed them in the light industrial zone. The light industry there is developing very well. I believe they will be able to adapt to life here soon and get rid of their previous hardships. "

"Is that so? That would be great!"

"Yeah, great."

"Uncle, where are you from?"

"My hometown is Fregate Island on the Grand Line, but it has been occupied by pirates. Later, Higali's army came to the island and liberated us. From then on, it was merged into Higali and became part of this country..."

The big bear in the last row listened blankly to the driver's words, with a somewhat excited look on his usually indifferent face.

Sabo looked at the big bear's clenched fists and let out a sigh of relief. He was happy for his good friend and felt lucky for the citizens of the Kingdom of Sorbe.
