Chen Qi and the others unified their opinions, handed over 30,000 Bailey, and the group went to Silver City.

The six of them stood on the pier and looked out, and it was said that it was a city-state, but the houses were all thatched huts and small wooden houses. There is only one road that looks relatively spacious, and there are only a few restaurants and bars on the side, which should be considered a commercial street.

But what is incompatible with these is that further afield, it looks like a small city, and you can faintly see several huge palaces, and under the sunlight, you can still reflect the silvery white light.

"It's time to eat!" Luffy didn't care so much at all, and when he saw the restaurant, it was like a gust of wind rushing over.

Everyone had no choice but to run up with him.

"Meat! I want meat! As soon as he entered the restaurant, Luffy yelled for meat.

The owner of the restaurant is lean and has a small goatee: "We don't have much meat, maybe it's only enough for one person, what do the others need?" ”

The meat for one person was reserved for Luffy, and the others had to order some staples and vegetarian dishes.

Luffy, a nervous guy, only cares about eating, while Nami and the others find that this boss seems to be a little listless, with some patches on his apron, and he doesn't have the enthusiasm that other restaurateurs have when they entertain guests.

The restaurant was also extremely deserted, with only three or two diners sitting except for them.

Except for Luffy, everyone feels that something is not quite right.

The meals were served by the boss himself, and there was not even a waiter.

Nami couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's going on here?" Why do we have to pay when we go to the island? ”

Boss: "You're new here, aren't you?" ”

Luffy stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth: "Oh, we are pirates, my name is Luffy, and I want to be the man of One Piece!" Please advise! ”

After Luffy finished speaking, he continued to bury his head in eating.

When the boss heard that they were pirates, he didn't pay much attention to them, moved a chair and sat next to them and talked to everyone.

This place is located in the northwest of the East China Sea, called Helian Silver City, and the ruler is called Helian Coco, who led his army to capture it seven years ago and became the king here.

The previous king was still a Ming monarch, because it was rich in silver mines, it was a rich land, so the life of the citizens was quite abundant, people's houses were basically small buildings, and everyone's food and clothing life was not a problem at all.

Usopp looked puzzled: "This is rich in silver mines?" So why now..."

At this time, Luffy took advantage of Chenqi's inattention, secretly reached into Chenqi's plate, grabbed a mouthful of food and ate it.

Luffy's eraser was elongated, how could Chen Qi not see it: "You guy, don't steal me!" ”

Luffy pouted, "I haven't eaten yet." ”

Nami yelled at the two of them, "Be quiet!" Listen to the end of the conversation! ”

Boss Tommy continued.

But since Helian Coco came here seven years ago, all that has changed!

This guy was very greedy, and as soon as he ruled the place, he began to extort money, ordering each household to pay a certain amount of silver per capita per month, otherwise he would be severely punished.

[This kind of behavior is almost no different from Aaron. 】

What is even more excessive is that not only has to pay silver every month, but everyone who does business has to pay taxes, and even stalls have to pay stall taxes.

Chen Qi took a sip of water: "Then, didn't you hold a rebellion?" ”

Boss Tommy let out a long sigh: "There have been several uprisings, all of which have been easily suppressed by them, and their strength is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. ”

"Oh?" When Chen Qi heard this, he immediately became interested, "Can you tell me?" ”

"Ahem..."

Tommy cleared his throat and continued.

King Helian Coco can transform into a bison, with infinite strength and invincible courage on the battlefield. The king had three generals under his command, the left general, the right general, and the partial general, each of whom was of extraordinary strength.

Because Boss Tommy had only heard about it, and had not participated in the rebel army against Helian Coco (otherwise he wouldn't be alive now), he didn't know much about them.

Listening to his description, Chen Qi learned that the king was an animal type of cattle with fruit ability (the people of the East China Sea knew very little about fruits).

"However, five years ago, the king did not know where to recruit a national teacher named Slok. At first, because the number of rebels was relatively large, and Helian's army fought hard, but it could also win, and since Srock came, that guy didn't know what ability it was, no matter how many times the number of rebels was more than Helian's army, as long as that guy was there, Helian's army could easily win, and... And..."

Sanji: "And what? ”

Boss Tommy said, his face changed: "It's fine if the rebels die on the battlefield, but if they fall into the hands of Srock alive, he will use cruel punishment to dispose of the prisoners..."

Nami: "A cruel punishment..."

The more Tommy said, the more unpleasant his face became: "After the failure of the uprising, the rebels knew that they could not win, so they surrendered one after another, and then they were all tied to a stake in the central square by the Helian army and began to execute... Seeing the suffering of the captives, Slok actually laughed wildly, and the blood shed by the torturers merged into a stream, and the corpses were not disposed of, but tied to a pillar to dry... That Srock is not only strong, but also very perverted, he is simply a demon..."

"Oh?" The more Chen Qi listened, the more interested he became, "National Teacher Slok, is he really strong?" ”

Boss Tommy: "Of course, hundreds of people in full gear can't get close to him. ”

Usopp: "Is the Navy sitting back and watching something like this happen here?" ”

Tommy sighed: "Don't be so naïve, this is a relatively remote place in the East China Sea, and it is relatively remote." The most important thing is that I heard that Helian Coco also colluded with a Seven Martial Seas, and would offer a large amount of silver to that Seven Martial Seas every year, and some people also said that this guy is still a subordinate of the Four Emperors, such a person, what can the navy do when he comes? ”

Indeed, even Aaron ruled more than twenty villages for eight years without seeing the navy, let alone Helian Coco.

When Sanji heard what the boss said, he choked on a puff of cigarette: "Four... The Four Emperors' subordinates? There is still collusion with the Seven Martial Seas? Just kidding, right? ”

The Four Emperors are indeed too far away for them now.

Tommy: "I've only heard about it. But I can tell you a fact, doesn't everyone have to pay ten taels of silver when they go to the island? But if you go out again, you have to pay 10,000 taels! ”

Nami: "One... 10,000 taels?! ”

10,000 taels, equivalent to 5 million Baileys, six people are 30 million Baileys!

How can they have so much money?
