Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

In addition to occasionally watching the wind from the observation deck, Rocks also uses the books he bought previously as literacy reading materials.

Originally, Locks didn't want to expose his "illiterate" identity in front of Kate because he was concerned about face. Unfortunately, although Liz knew some words, her family situation meant that she was not able to learn much and could only teach Locks a few simple things. See If you want to learn how to write, you still have to rely on another guy.

"Hey, Kate, can you help me?"

That afternoon, Rocks suddenly walked up behind Kate who was fishing and kicked him lightly.

"what?"

Kate was puzzled. This was the first time he saw Rocks showing such an expression.

Then, Rocks took out a book from his arms and handed it to Kate, hesitatingly saying:

"...Help me decipher the words above."

Kate's eyes widened and she looked like, 'Are you kidding me?' This was just an ordinary children's book, but this guy didn't even know these words?

Seeing that Locks's expression became even stiffer, and there was a faint look of "I'll beat you if you dare to ask another question", Kate wisely didn't say any more, and sat aside to teach Locks the meaning of the words in the book.

For some unknown reason, Rocks always felt that his talent for learning seemed to have become stronger. Whenever Kate explained the meaning of a word to him, Rocks could clearly remember it in his mind.

In less than an hour, Rocks was able to read the rest of the books by himself, which made Kate couldn't help but wonder, could this guy be deliberately making fun of her?

Rocks didn't know these thoughts of Kate, because his attention had already stayed on the records in the book instead of the legends.

It is rumored that there was a big talker named Rolando in the North Sea. He told the world that there was a golden land full of gold. For this reason, a king of the North Sea sent a large number of elites to go out to sea to search for it, but the final result was in vain. After returning, the elite suffered heavy losses.

The story ends with Rolando's funny expression.

This not-too-thick storybook suddenly awakened some memories of Rocks. This story seemed to have appeared in the original drama, somewhere... By the way, Sky Island!

Rocks suddenly woke up. There were floating islands above the sea. There were even "Sky Islanders" living on those islands, a special group of people with wings on their backs and tentacles on their heads.

"In addition to food islands, you can also find opportunities to explore those empty islands."

Maybe you can also find something good like the Thunder Fruit.

It's a pity that he already has a Devil Fruit, and he can't hold several fruits at the same time like the rumored Blackbeard. Otherwise, Rocks has to get a good thing like the Thunder Fruit, which is all-around enhanced. .

……

"Captain, we will arrive at our destination soon."

After nearly twelve days of sailing, the group finally saw the buildings rising on the coastline, which meant that they were finally approaching the coast.

In the past few days, there was very little food left in the cabin. If Rocks hadn't tightened his belly tightly, he might not have been able to survive until now.

Sure enough, the most terrifying thing at sea is that a person is alive and holding a pile of treasures, but has nothing to eat. No wonder Sanji, the erotic cook, is so disgusted with people who waste food after experiencing a shipwreck.

"Quick, go at full speed!"

After seeing the island, not only Rocks became excited, but the rest of the people were not much different. After all, the conditions on the ship were basically the same, and everyone had been looking forward to going ashore for supplies.

Through Kate's explanation, everyone learned that the situation on the island this time was quite special. The island's economic level was quite high, and there was even a large auction venue, which was supported by three forces.

The navy is responsible for maintaining law and order, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce is responsible for operation and management, and a mysterious winery called "Bacchus". It is said that the wine they brew has extremely large sales across the world.

After Kate obtained the bloody red wine, most of the ones sold were purchased by this winery.

"Rocks, these goods need to be sent to the auction house for auction, so that their value can be maximized, but there is something I must tell you in advance."

"what happened?"

Locks noticed that Kate's face was not pretty, and there were even two drops of cold sweat on her forehead.

After Kate organized some words, she whispered:

"Since this island is controlled by three forces, the security environment is not as good as the islands we have seen before, because the navy here has even joined the ranks of collecting protection fees.

Next is the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. This chamber of commerce is filled with well-known maritime merchants. They only care about the loss of business and will not interfere in other matters. As long as their interests are not touched, there is no need to worry too much.

The only thing that needs attention is the "Bacchus" organization. Last time they wanted to buy all my red wine, but unfortunately I refused. As a result, I encountered betrayal only two days later. I feel that there is a vague hint of their involvement. Traces, but unfortunately no evidence can be found now. "

"You mean...those guys want to make money and kill themselves?"

If the facts are true as Kate said, then this place must be particularly dangerous for them, so why did they choose this place as a sales point?Is it just because there is an auction house?

This is indeed the case. Kate is almost giving it a try. She plans to use the power of Rocks and Edward to sell this batch of goods, and then never have anything to do with the island again, because Kate always feels that once she is trapped, In this whirlpool, you will sink deeper and deeper until you are swallowed by the tide.

After receiving Kate's reminder, neither Rocks nor Edward acted too openly. The little girl Liz followed Rocks closely, not daring to leave even a step because she always felt that the people in this place were strange, as if The next moment he would suddenly pounce on them and bite them.

"Brother, the atmosphere here is very strange!"

Liz's voice sounded in Rocks' mind.

"Well, I noticed that the people here have strange expressions. They seem to be intoxicated in some kind of state. Could it be...psychotropic drugs?"

Rocks really knows nothing about this aspect. Even if he wants to learn, he has no foundation. He can only hope that the ship doctor in the future can give him some help.

……

The group of people quickly arrived at the auction house, and Kate skillfully handed over her identity card and goods. After the auction house staff counted the goods, they handed a metal plate the size of a thumb to Kate:

"This is your cargo number. You can choose to participate in the auction, or you can choose to wait for us to send the money after the auction is over."

"I'd better participate in this auction in person."

This shipment was Kate's last hope, so nothing could go wrong, and Kate felt she had to keep an eye on it the whole time.

The staff didn't pay attention to this, just nodded and arranged a small private room for Kate and the others.
