The Slaughter Docks, where giant sea monsters are processed, are one of Bilgewater's main sources of income.
Various sea monsters appear frequently in the waters near Bilgewater, which brings huge risks to Bilgewater, but also huge profits.
Under the power of human beings' powerful ships and cannons, the meat, oil, skin, scales, and even bones and teeth of deep-sea monsters will be turned into lucrative trophies, which will be sold in the increasingly prosperous dock market and sold to all over the world.

Reed walked into a tavern in the Slaughterhouse Market. The tavern has the most shops in Bilgewater. As long as you can drink wine and are not afraid of sailors making trouble, you will definitely not be afraid of not having customers when you open a tavern.
The smell in the tavern is not much better than outside, but with the smell of alcohol, it is more or less acceptable. It is not as smelly as the slaughterhouse outside.
The slaughtering dock was covered with the carcasses of all kinds of sea beasts, some of which already emitted a bloody rotting stench. Obviously, those belonged to captains who did not have their own docks, and they did not line up to handle the spoils.
They can only wait for others to bid for the sea beast carcasses in their hands, and those captains who are ignorant and want to sell them for a higher price often can only watch their trophies rot in the water, and the bamboo basket is in vain.
.
No way, Bilgewater cannot teach people kindness, it can only teach people how to exploit and use others, and how to bring power and wealth to themselves.
This tavern on the pier is not a high-end tavern, otherwise it would not be opened in such a place. The decoration here can be said to be almost without any decoration.
The air is filled with sawdust and dust, the ground is full of traces of spilled wine, and there are even front teeth that fell during the fight. There is no way, the people who haunt this place are either poor people, gang members, or rough pirates.
With rude ditties, arrogant shouts, and constant laughter and curses, the atmosphere in this tavern is full of Bilgewater's style, which is rude and barbaric.
"Have you heard? That bastard Gangplank hooked up with the priestess of the Baru Temple. That guy has been very arrogant recently. He is a weakling who only knows how to kiss a woman's butt and rely on his father!"
Among the sailors' shouts and curses, Reed heard a familiar name, a name destined to be connected with the pirate city of Bilgewater, Gangplank.
Of course, Reed also knew that the Baru Priestess was undoubtedly Illaoi, but these sailors obviously didn't know Illaoi yet, because Illaoi was not a little Baru Priestess, she was a
A true man who serves the gods and is the attendant of Naga Kapoulos.
Reed casually found a seat in the corner and sat down, listening to these dirty sailors humiliating Plank.
Of course, the Baru priestess couldn't escape their dirty mouths. They didn't know what they were facing yet, but they should know it soon.
"bump!"
The door of the tavern was kicked open, and a boot stained with an unknown mixture stepped in. The drinkers in the tavern all looked towards the door. They wanted to see who was so arrogant and dared to challenge them.
.
"Bastards! Scumbags! Let me see who is cursing Gangplank with a mean and jealous face."
The man who came in was shouting wildly and seemed not to pay attention to the pirates in the tavern who were licking blood from their swords. His appearance also made the atmosphere in the tavern stagnant. It was obvious that everyone recognized him.
He was a man with a majestic figure, his chest was bare, and his cuffs were half rolled up to his elbows, revealing muscles as thick and thick as a bull's. He had a big beard, his face was as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were as cold-blooded as a shark.
Merciless eyes scanned the maggots in the tavern.
"It's Planck...that weakling..."
Whispers resounded in the tavern, but no one dared to yell, insult, and curse Gangplank and his Baru priest girlfriend as loudly as they did at the beginning.
"Ganglank! Your mouth still smells so bad after licking the Baru woman's butt! Didn't the Baru priestess give you something sweet to taste? You eggless weakling!"
After all, the pirates of Bilgewater still have some blood. They were insulting Gangplank just now. Now when he appears, they are so frightened that they dare not speak. That is really embarrassing, a drunk guy.
Standing up, he pointed at Planck and started to scream.
"Hahahahahaha!"
After hearing the drunkard's words, everyone let go of their emotions again and slapped the table and laughed. Obviously they were happy to see Gangplank make a fool of himself. The son of the great pirate "Phantom Vincent", his reputation in Bilgewater
Obviously not very good, even these scoundrel drunkards can insult him.
And the fact that he climbed up to Priestess Baru really made many people jealous. They wished that too many people would die from Gangplank. It was even more exciting to see him make a fool of himself in public.
"Bang!"
"Plop!"
There was a gunshot, and the drunkard who stood up and pointed at Planck's nose and cursed him fell to the ground. The gun in Planck's hand was emitting gray smoke. There was no doubt that it was him who fired the gun.
"Asshole! Gangplank! Do you want to die?! Shooting and killing people in a tavern?! You don't follow the rules! The rules set by your father!"
This shot was like poking a hornet's nest. The drunkards stood up one after another, some took out their swords, some took out their muskets, and pointed their spearheads at Gangplank.
Only Reed was sitting in the corner. His eyes drifted to the door. He was more concerned about the woman outside the door than Gangplank, because that woman had strength far beyond that of ordinary people. These pirates were simply not strong enough to fight.
.
"Rules? From today on, I will set the rules!"
Gangplank stood there fearlessly in the face of the crowd's accusations and swords and halberds. He adjusted his three-cornered hat, took out an orange from his pocket and took a bite.
Planck's words once again silenced the tavern for a second, and no one seemed to realize what Planck was talking about.
After all, Gangplank's reputation in Bilgewater has never been very good, and he was even ridiculed as "the father of a tiger and the son of a dog". Although it has improved somewhat in recent years, Planck is still far from setting rules for Bilgewater.
Far away.
"Clang!"
There was a loud bang, the door of the tavern was smashed, and the culprit walked in and stood beside Plank.
It was a woman, carrying a golden statue the size of a wine barrel. Her physique was extremely strong, even more exaggerated than Gangplank. The drinkers in the tavern were all amazed, and Reed couldn't help but look at her sideways.
