Chapter 411 Windmill Village

East China Sea, Goa Kingdom, Windmill Village.

When a warship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Light sailed into the port, people nearby gathered around curiously.

The East China Sea is known as the weakest sea area among the four seas. Most of the pirates here are not strong. Windmill Village is the hometown of the navy hero Garp and is protected by the navy.

This situation has led to the fact that the people here are not very alert. Facing strange ships, they not only did not choose to escape and avoid, but took the initiative to surround them.

"Guests from other places, I wonder what you are here for?" After the villagers' notification, the villager of Windmill Village, Up Slab, walked up slowly from behind the crowd with a cane.

A team of ninjas jumped off the warship, led by none other than Hatake Kakashi, and behind Kakashi were the team members he led, Kai and Obito.

"We are ninjas from the Kingdom of Light. From now on, the Kingdom of Goa has been destroyed by us, and the entire East China Sea will be managed by us." Kakashi did not waste words and directly explained his purpose. At the same time, he was alert and prepared to deal with the attack.

"You." Hearing Kakashi's words, the Slab Village was stunned and stared at Kakashi blankly. After a while, they came back to their senses, "Are you pirates?"

"We are not pirates, we are soldiers from the Kingdom of Light." Kakashi explained.

"The Kingdom of Light?" The Slab Village recalled carefully for a while, but did not find the impression of this country in their memory.

"Please do not hurt the villagers here. If you have any needs, we will try our best to meet you." In the end, the Slab Village still treated Kakashi and others as pirates.

As Kakashi and the Slab Village talked, the villagers who were watching slowly understood. Everyone looked at Kakashi and the other two with different eyes. There was indignation and disgust, as well as fear and fear hidden deep inside.

Most of the pirates on this sea are not human. Compared with the kingdom's army and navy that oppress everyone, the pirates' plundering is more bottomless and inhumane.

The harvest and oppression of the world government can at least allow most people to barely survive, while the plundering of pirates often exterminates an island from the root.

Especially those roaming pirates, their behavior is more extreme.

And a team like Kakashi, who rides a small boat and has very few people, is almost the same as those roaming pirate groups.

"Old man, you misunderstood. We are not pirates, and we are not here to plunder you. We just come to inform you that from now on, this sea area will be managed by the Kingdom of Light. Your future taxes will be greatly reduced, and we will also formulate more fair and relaxed laws." Kakashi hurriedly explained.

Unfortunately, his explanation seemed like a fairy tale to most people. After all, a three-person team suddenly arrived and told everyone that your country was destroyed by us and we will rule you in the future.

Such sudden news is hard to believe no matter who hears it.

"How much can we reduce taxes?" A young businessman in the crowd asked out of curiosity.

"What are your current taxes?" Kakashi asked back.

"That's too much. There are fees for security, fees for goods entering and leaving the city, and head taxes for everyone. In a year, 60% to 70% of the income has to be used to pay taxes." As a businessman, the young man is very sensitive to money and numbers, and his tone is full of resentment towards the kingdom.

"Yes! Security fees are collected every month, but the village is still protected by the village militia." It seems that the businessman's words opened the topic, and someone immediately echoed.

"I went to the royal city to purchase goods last week, and I paid 30% tax when I left the city. What profit can I make!" Someone else complained.

"In our Kingdom of Light, taxes are collected at different rates depending on the industry you are in and the amount of income you earn. Simply put, the more profitable the industry, the more taxes you collect, and the higher the income, the more taxes you collect. People with lower incomes generally don't have to pay taxes, or pay very low taxes." Kakashi didn't know much about taxes, so he could only give a general answer.

Kakashi's answer made many of the people who had just complained look at each other in bewilderment.

Under the rule of the World Government, most of the rich people who can make a fortune are either nobles, officials, or have powerful people in their families, or know powerful people.

These vested interests will certainly not impose heavy taxes on themselves.

However, the kingdom has to pay Tianshangjin to the World Government, and this huge economic pressure can only be borne by a large number of civilians.

This also leads to the fact that ordinary citizens, especially small businessmen, small landlords, and workshop owners, pay far more taxes every year than the wealthy and powerful.

Therefore, when these people heard that the more income people have, the more taxes they pay, they can't believe it.

"Will the nobles of the Kingdom of Light have any objections to collecting taxes like this?" someone asked curiously.

"There are no nobles in the Kingdom of Light. All the nobles have been eliminated by us." Kakashi replied.

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole port was in an uproar.

The well-informed villagers seemed to realize something, and a middle-aged man took the initiative to come forward, "Are you the Revolutionary Army?"

"The Revolutionary Army is our ally, and we have also formed an assassin brotherhood to assassinate those nobles and wealthy merchants who are rich and unkind." Kakashi explained.

The villagers didn't know the Kingdom of Light just now, but when Kakashi mentioned the Revolutionary Army and the Assassin's Brotherhood, many people understood.

"The Assassin's Brotherhood is yours? The organization that assassinated several tyrants across the sea, is it you?" Someone shouted in surprise.

"It's us, I also participated in the assassination!" Speaking of this, Kakashi raised his head slightly.

The crowd was filled with suppressed discussions and a hint of joy. Those who had been oppressed for many years and were very dissatisfied with the Kingdom and the World Government had expectations in their hearts.

If what these three strangers said was true, does it mean that everyone can get rid of the oppression of the Kingdom and the World Government in the future.

"Three guests, I don't understand what you are saying. If you are not pirates, why don't you come with me to the tavern and sit down." The old villager interrupted the villagers' discussion.

The situation is not clear now. At this time, if some villagers are bewitched by what these three people said and say some treasonous words, and it is spread out, the whole village may be implicated.

"Sorry to bother you then." Kakashi looked back at his two teammates, and when he saw them nod in agreement, he looked back at the village chief and thanked him.

"You're welcome, follow me!" Slab Villager said with a smile.

Then he turned around and led the way, while shouting to the villagers who were watching around: "Everyone disperse! Go do your own thing."
