Every city has two sides, one is bright and beautiful, and the other is dirty.

This is almost an unchanging criterion for all cities in the world. Every city must have a slum area that is both dirty and full of poverty and crime.

Even in the Emerald City, places like this still exist.

The place Allen wanted to go was not in the slums, but he had to pass through the area where the slums were at night. The sin and ugliness of a city could be seen almost everywhere. When he passed by here, he discovered more than one crime incident.

After he passed through the slums, the other place he arrived at was the paradise of pirates in this city.

It is located on the coast with a secluded location. There is a specially built dock for docking pirate ships, and many pirate ships dock here.

Allen is not familiar with this place, but it doesn't matter if he is not familiar with it. His current dress looks like a pirate who is looking for fun. Apart from the fact that he does not have the body odor of a pirate and the bad breath that can kill people, he looks very good on the outside.

No difference is made.

It was easy to find the most popular tavern in this area - the Storm Point Tavern.

It is said that this tavern has existed for more than fifty years. When a great pirate returned from the New World, he settled here. Later, the descendants of this great pirate took over.

Cape Storm is a center for information. Allen knows that this tavern is not only a center for information. The owner is also a second-rate dealer. He not only sells information, but also sells weapons, helps pirates sell stolen goods, and basically does all the work - can he do it in this place?

There is no simple tavern in the world that has been open for a long time.

It was the same in the previous life. All nightclubs and bars could stay open for a long time or even gain a great reputation. No boss was simple.

When Allen walked in, the lively atmosphere immediately hit his face.

For ordinary people who don't have much entertainment, this period of time may fall asleep early, but for pirates, it is the most exciting time of the day.

Allen scanned around and found that all seats in the hall were full, so he went straight to the bar.

He is inconspicuous here, and there is no idiot who suddenly stands up to cause trouble for him. Anyone who comes to Storm Cape has something to worry about in his heart. Of course, it doesn't matter if he is completely drunk.

Snapped!

Several pictures of Bailey were slapped on the table, and a magnetic voice sounded.

"Man, have a glass of golden rum, please add ice."

Golden rum is the top brand of rum. Pirates usually drink cheap black rum or white rum. After all, everyone has a large amount of rum. Golden rum is not a big deal for some captain-level characters.

, if you want to drink happily, you have to vomit blood from your wallet.

An exquisite glass filled with golden wine was placed in front of Allen. He didn't like drinking in his previous life, but in the summer when he had barbecues with friends, he liked to drink fresh and cold draft beer, which was fresh and ice-cold.

The grilled hot meat skewers are delicious.

When I came to this world, I tried it, but I didn’t say I particularly liked it.

Of course, this Stormhorn Golden Rum also has another function.

When the waiter was preparing to give Bailey change, Allen pushed Bailey over and said, "Tell me about the recent situation in the Emerald City. I just came here today."

Not all pirates are ambitious to go to the New World. Many of them actually have a good idea. Once they sail to a certain place, once they have a reliable source of income (plundering), they are likely to stay there.

Once a fixed pattern is formed, some people will become idlers.

"A person is very courageous." The guy was older than him and his tone was calm. It was obvious that the guy was not an ordinary person.

Allen shook his head: "Our captain is Blackbeard Zato with a bounty of 41 million. He was chased by the navy some time ago. Only a few people escaped. It took a lot of effort for me to get here."

Things with obvious characteristics such as black beard, red beard, tea beard, long beard, etc. are the most commonly used naming methods for pirates. Almost every year, several beards of various colors are caught.

Of course, there is only one guy like Whitebeard with his unique white crescent beard.

The guy Allen was talking about happened to be a group of pirates that the Navy captured some time ago. They were all wiped out. He was the person in charge of the information, so there would be no problem if he used this name to pretend to be pirates.

Maybe it was because of the generous tips, maybe it was Allen's tragic experience, or maybe the bartender simply liked Allen.

He said: "The wind and waves in the Emerald City have been very strong recently. It is not suitable for small boats to roam. The boat may capsize at any time. If I were you, I would take the opportunity to find a stable livelihood."

Allen was silent for a while: "Stability? How can it be that easy? How many people can end up well after embarking on this road? I hope to find something to do."

As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. Naturally, the bartender didn't say much. He babbled in a certain direction: "Over there, there is a group of pirates who have been gaining momentum recently. Captain 'Black Bear' Sovokov is offering a reward."

60 million Baileys in gold, I heard that there will be a lot of action, and they are preparing to recruit people recently, maybe you can go talk to them."

Allen shook his head and did not go looking for the black bear with a bounty of 60 million. Instead, he slowly sipped the rum with a rich oak aroma in the glass.

At times like this, the more obvious it is, the more likely it is that it is cannon fodder.

The real guys hide in the deep sea, and there is no way to detect the opponent's depth until the critical moment.

Basically, he just wanted to find out some information. The cannon fodder may not know the most secret plan, and he can also analyze the cannon fodder's movements to find useful things.

"I don't want to join the pirate group anymore. If I accidentally get targeted by the navy again, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as I am now." Allen put down his glass, looked at the bartender and said, "I want to know something real.

Don’t expect to be able to eat a lot of meat, drink some soup, and then find a deserted place to marry a wife and have children.”

"Heh." The bartender smiled without knowing the meaning, "Really good things are usually more expensive."

"It just so happens that I still have a little savings, so it's not difficult to use it to buy some nice things."

Allen looked into the bartender's eyes without any flinching. After the two looked at each other like this for a few seconds, the bartender reached out and called out another person.

"In that case, then come with me. I hope you didn't lie, otherwise you will end up very miserable." The bartender led Allen to a secret door and said as he walked, "In this place, the Emerald City, if you want to survive

If you go down, you have to be smart enough, otherwise you will die without knowing how."

Allen didn't answer and just remained silent.

Soon, through a dark corridor, I came to a room. The bartender knocked on the door and then pushed open:
Chapter completed!
