On the east side of the Vanilla Marketplace, there was a vast, open area that the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce had occupied years prior for storage.
Food, cloth, fishing gear... All kinds of materials were sorted and piled up in their respective categories.
As one of the three major powers of Freedom Port, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce was particularly skilled in trade, boasting the widest range of goods.
The largest and most abundant among these were the fish catches obtained from the sea.
Even before drawing near, the strong odor of fish assaulted the senses, while all manner of shouting filled the air.
The fishermen were unclean, especially those who worked at sea. Short voyages lasted at least a dozen days, while longer excursions could span several months. All of life's necessities had to be managed within the relatively cramped confines of a ship. Over time, an unpleasant odor that was very difficult to wash off would cling to them.
