The Lord of the Underworld of Pirates

"Well, it's unusually good!"

Brooke marveled at the food on the table. Even Moriah had a big appetite and ate crazily. Sitting on the other side of the table was their guide Sam. Why was Sam dining with them? Naturally, someone was watching when Brooke wasn't used to enjoying herself.

At the same time, it is also a kind of vigilance for living on the sea. The two of them combined have more than [-] million people. There must be a lot of guys interested in their heads, and using poison on the sea is the most common method for bounty hunters. Brooke was naturally not afraid of poison because of his bones, but Moriah's body was not like Brooke's, so Sam was only invited by them to have a meal together.

Sam seemed to be aware of the two employers' intentions and took the initiative to try the food for them.

I miss it so much!

This was Sam's first feeling after eating the food, and the scene of the family dining together in the past flashed back.

After savoring the faint taste of fruit wine in his mouth, Brooke enjoyed it very much. At the same time, he remembered the religious believers he had seen before when he went out and asked Sam:

"Sam, who were the priests who wore blue and white before?"

Sam was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and introduced the two of them:

"Well, they are religious believers from the Western Sea. It is said that they come from the legendary Ice Kingdom."

"Western Sea? Kingdom of Ice!"

The two of them asked at the same time, what is the Kingdom of Ice? They naturally knew that the coldest place in the world is said to be colder than the Antarctic and the North Pole. It is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the outer temperature reaches more than 100 degrees below zero. Further inside, there is a temperature of more than 300 degrees below zero that normal people cannot touch, and the center position reaches an absolute temperature close to [-] degrees below zero.

"Religious from the Ice Kingdom?"

Sam nodded and said:

"They said so themselves. It is said that they came out of the Kingdom of Ice to spread their faith. Well, it should be called the 'White Frost Church'."

Brooke and Moriah looked at each other, as if they were somewhat impressed.

"Is it the religion of the West Sea? I seem to have seen it before."

Sam nodded, took a sip of fruit wine and said again:

"It seems like their god is some sort of Lord of Frost who freezes everything."

Hearing this, Brooke thought about the Island of Thunder God entering the new world. Would it be the same as that island, with ancient gods and other things?

Shaking his head to end his random thoughts, Brooke was about to end the topic and said to Sam:

"The food here is good, so I decided to hire you. Don't worry about the price, I won't miss you. We will pay it every day."

Sam immediately showed an excited expression, feeling grateful for his previous adventure, and quickly thanked:

"Thank you very much. I will try my best to meet your requirements."

Brooke waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, picked up the fruit wine in front of him, drank it down in one gulp, wiped his mouth carefully with the napkin on the side, and began to tell Sam what he wanted to know.

"Sam, we are going to enter the Western Sea through the Golden Road. Where can we get the map of the Golden Road?"

Sam was slightly stunned. Not many big pirates who had been in the new world returned to the world. Sam quickly told Brooke what he knew.

"Sir Brooke, ordinary people are not qualified to own the map of the Golden Road. Only some noble families or chambers of commerce own it."

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Sam nodded and replied:

"Yes, the so-called Chamber of Commerce is formed by some businessmen who come here. These businessmen will hire some mercenaries, and adventurers will enter the Golden Road together at the same time. This can greatly increase the survival rate."

"But even so, the windless zone swallows up hundreds of ships every year."

Brooke was a little surprised. This channel called the Golden Road is so dangerous and so many people enter it!

"Hehehe, don't you forget the losses even if the profits are huge? It is indeed a characteristic of businessmen."

Sam agreed with what Moria said, nodded and said:

"Lord Moria is right. Even so, there is still an endless stream of merchants here."

"So does that mean that the method of passing the Golden Road is only in the hands of this chamber of commerce and some nobles?"

Brooke asked, and Sam immediately explained:

"Really, it is in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce. Those ancient noble families only have the original map. After they have gained huge benefits from this map, they will naturally not take such risks, so the sea maps in their hands are comparable. Not in the Chamber of Commerce.”

Brooke nodded to express his understanding. It seemed that the only way to start was from this chamber of commerce.

"Well, Sam, help us find a good hotel now, and then go visit this chamber of commerce tomorrow."

"Also, just call us sir. Honorific titles like adults are too awkward."

Sam immediately bowed his head and respectfully called Mr. Brooke, and then stated that he would take Brooke and the others to a hotel with a very good reputation.

After the few people had satisfied their appetites, they started to prepare to go to the hotel to rest. As they walked, Brooke felt an unusual order, as if there were no disputes in this city in the new world.

"Sam, this city looks very safe."

Sam was carrying the packed leftovers and thinking about how to solve the problem of another meal at home. When Brooke asked, a look of gratitude appeared on his face and he replied:

"Ah, since this island was protected by Whitebeard, there have been very few major crises. Some minor crises will also be solved by the adventurers and mercenaries on this island."

Brook asked:

"It is said that Whitebeard stipulated that there should be no fighting on this island?"

Sam nodded, shook his head and said:

"It was like this before. Whitebeard stipulated that no fights could occur as long as you landed on the island. But since the death of Pirate King Roger, the number of people active on the sea has increased again. Even Whitebeard's words sometimes are not listened to by everyone. "

"The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates are really tired of these endless small battles, so they specially built a fighting arena so that the pirates and adventurers can go there to resolve conflicts."

Brooke suddenly realized this time. No wonder he felt an inexplicable sense of order when entering this city. He couldn't help but admire:

"pretty good idea!"

Moria followed the two of them, with another thought in mind, saying:

"Hehehehe, this not only solves the chaos on the island, it should also mean selecting new blood for your pirate group."

Brooke instantly understood what Moria meant, thought for a moment, and nodded, feeling that Moria's analysis should make sense.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with us. Our mission now is to go to the West Sea."

Brooke shook his head and ignored these things that had nothing to do with him.

After a while, Sam led the two big pirates into a hotel that seemed high-end on this island.

~

Not far from where Brooke and the others were resting, two figures were staring at the religious believers wearing clerical uniforms who were preaching.

A low voice sounded.

"Are you ready?"

A guy dressed as an adventurer wearing sunglasses glanced at the pirate who made the noise, shrugged and said:

"Don't worry, keep an eye on these guys, but are you sure you want to do this and not wait until these religious believers leave the island before taking action?"

The pirate standing in the shadow showed a greedy look and said:

"I'm not sure these guys will leave the island. As long as we get what we want, it means an amazing amount of treasure."

"You don't need to take risks for money."

The adventurer wearing sunglasses was a little worried and said:

"However, doing so also means breaking Whitebeard's rules."

The pirate said displeasedly:

"Whitebeard is only useful in this ocean. As long as we have enough money, it is worth our risk!"
