Chapter 13: Secrets of the Sea

After an eight-day voyage, Chen Mu and the three of them came to their destination without danger: Shipwreck Bay.

Although there were no pirates or natural disasters along the way, and even a slightly larger storm was not hit, the voyage was very dull, but when he arrived at the destination, the captain still paid the guards in full, without pulling skin or procrastinating, and gave Chen Mu a few bottles of leftover rum before leaving, and agreed to cooperate again next time.

The man on the sea has a big temper, and he is still very bold, and he will not care about a little reward.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Chen Mu showed enough strength as soon as he got on the ship.

Respect comes from strength, which is an eternal law at sea.

When they got off the boat, the first thing the three of them did was to buy the latest week's newspaper in the local area.

In this era, there were no mobile phones, no computers, and no Internet, and during this time at sea, people were almost isolated from the rest of the world, and there was no access to information.

If you want to reconnect with the world, the only way is to get off the ship and quickly find a newspaper to read.

After reviewing the newspapers of the last week, the three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were lucky!

Because until three days ago, the newspapers were still reporting the news that the combined navy of Quartz and Fangyuan was blockading the Agate Islands.

That's exactly where they were before they set off!

It can be seen that it is undoubtedly an extremely wise choice for the three of them to escape in time, otherwise the three of them should have been invited by the navies of the two major alliances to hang the street lamps at this time.

This is by no means alarmist, there was a similar report in the newspapers three days ago: the navy did not catch the main target of their trip, but did not want to run in vain, so they took the opportunity to search the waters near the Agate Islands, and hunted the "lucky" pirates who were still hovering nearby and could not see the situation clearly, and then hanged them in the square of Mona, the largest seaport city in the archipelago.

It's not popular in this world to engage in any kind of advancement city prison, and the navy will choose to hang pirates directly if they catch nine out of nine.

In addition, public hangings will be carried out in nearby cities with high traffic to deter those with evil intentions.

Because the alliances of this era are generally incapable of extending order across the vast ocean, they can only use this most primitive and brutal way to deter and intimidate.

Otherwise, pirates will only become more and more proliferated.

Lesser-known pirates usually share the same gallows in groups of twenty, while pirates with high bounties, such as Chen Mu and Junichi Shimada, often enjoy the ultimate luxury single models and hang them for a longer period of time, enough for most people in the local area to remember their last appearances.

The newspaper said that the navies of the two alliances had only erected two sets of single gallows in Mona City Square, and it was thought that most of the navies were not satisfied with the harvest.

This made Chen Mu and the three of them feel a burst of heartfelt happiness.

If they hadn't left, the biggest photo on the front page of the newspaper would have been them!

Even Junichi Shimada, the most cynical of the three, felt a little scared this time, and couldn't help but order another mojito at the bar.

Then he pointed to a piece of content in today's newspaper and asked Qi Xuanyu by the way.

"This says that the Lord of the Turbidity openly called on the two major alliance navies for the matter of the Agate Islands, is this really false?"

Among the three, Qi Xuanyu knows the most about the situation at sea.

Chen Mu and Junichi Shimada are both from the mainland, and from Qixuanyu, they are both land green onion ducks, so naturally there is no way to judge a lot of news from the sea.

Qi Xuanyu pursed his lips when he heard this, "You should know that this news is unreliable when you see that this news is in the corner of the last page of the newspaper, anyway, every time something bad happens at sea, these newspapers can turn to the Lord of Turbidity, no way, the reputation is like this." ”

Chen Mu asked curiously, "Who is this Lord of Yin Turbidity?" ”

He knows less about the sea than Junichi Shimada, because he didn't plan to mix in the sea at all, and he was completely forced to go to "Liangshan".

At this moment, the bartender brought in the Mojito that Junichi Shimada had just called, and just happened to hear their discussion, the bartender glanced at Chen Mu and said with a smile: "Even the Lord of the Turbidity doesn't know but is reading the newspapers on the sea, isn't this little brother going to sea for the first time?" ”

Chen Mu didn't shy away from it, "It's true that I haven't been out to sea for a long time." ”

At this time, the three of them still retained their disguises after getting off the ship, so they were not afraid of being easily recognized.

The bartender groaned for a moment and said, "Are you interested in listening to my introduction?" ”

As he spoke, he vaguely made a few gestures behind his back, not letting Chen Mu and them see it.

At this time, Chen Mu and the three of them were relatively relaxed, and they didn't notice this small detail, only Koga Ninja Frog saw it, but he didn't understand the complex thoughts and motives of human beings, so he didn't say anything for a while.

"Okay." Chen Mu didn't think much about it, nodded and agreed.

So the bartender sat down at their table and talked eloquently.

"The Lord of Turbidity is one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, but he is the one with the worst reputation among the Four Emperors, which can be seen from his nickname, the other three One Piece Kings have relatively positive nicknames, like the Sword Emperor, the Night Monarch and the Extreme Ice Queen, only his nickname is the most ugly, which also reflects from the side that the vast majority of people on the sea don't like him very much."

Taking this opportunity, Chen Mu just wanted to hear more secrets about the sea, so he continued to ask, "What about the Four Emperors?" What kind of people are they? ”

The bartender continued.

"Four Emperors, that naturally refers to the four most powerful pirate kings on the sea, among which the most famous and recognized strongest is the Sword Emperor, who occupies the most prosperous Sea of Origin, and is the maker and maintainer of order on the great route.

Six years ago, he drafted the famous Code of Pirates, which was intended to regulate the behavior of all pirates on the Great Voyage.

Of course, it is impossible for all the pirates who run the great voyage to listen to him, but compared to the other three, he is definitely the king of the pirates with the highest prestige, and he will hold a regular pirate conference every year. ”

The story of this sword emperor Chen Mu is somewhat familiar, because on the last night before he went to sea, he had already heard the local bartender tell the story of this sea thief in Caiyou City, the easternmost city of the end of the mainland, and the bartender at that bar was very interested in retelling a famous quote that made Chen Mu feel full of déjà vu.

Now it seems that this sword emperor is really not simple, and he can be called a hero on the sea.

However, the other three were relatively unfamiliar to him, so Chen Mu then asked, "What about the other three One Piece Kings?" ”

At this moment, the bartender suddenly stopped, and his smile gradually became sly, like a writer who specializes in breaking off shifts in key positions.

"Guest, if you want to hear the next content, do you want to pay the previous fee first?"

Chen Mu frowned suddenly, and Qi Xuanyu slapped the table and shouted, "You still have to pay for this?" Are you kidding?! Isn't it all common sense? I know that, too! ”

At this time, the bar, which had just sat down, stood up again, with a grim smile with a bit of fearlessness.

"Oh? How many guests don't want to pay their bills? ”

As he spoke, a circle of big men quickly gathered around him, as well as a few fierce-looking elves.

"Quack!"

Jiahe Ninja Frog immediately reminded Chen Mu that these people were secretly called by the bartender with gestures.

So it was not difficult for Chen Mu to understand: "It turns out that you are planning to rip off customers." ”
