Chapter 58： Four emperors?

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

The six people stood on the pier and looked at it. It was said to be a city, but the houses were thatched huts and log cabins. There is only a few restaurants and bars on the side of a road that looks relatively spacious. This should be regarded as a commercial street in this area.

But what is incompatible with these is that from a distance, it seems to be a small city, and you can vaguely see several huge palaces. Under the sunlight, it can also reflect silver-white light.

"Eat!" Luffy didn't care about that much, and when he saw the restaurant, he flew past like a gust of wind.

Everyone was helpless and had to run up after him.

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

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

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

Luffy, the nerve-wracking guy, only focused on eating, but Nami and the others found that the boss seemed a little listless, with some patches on his apron, and he didn't have the enthusiasm of other restaurant owners when entertaining guests.

The restaurant also seemed extremely deserted, except for them, there were only three or two diners sitting.

Except for Luffy, everyone felt something was wrong.

The food is served by the boss himself, 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: "Are you new here?"

Luffy stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth: "Oh, we are pirates, my name is Luffy, the man who wants to become the king of pirates! Please advise!"

After Luffy finished speaking, he continued to bury his head and eat.

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

This place is located in the northwest of the East China Sea and is called Helian Silver City. The ruler is called Helian Keke. He led an army to capture this place seven years ago and became the king here.

The previous king was still a wise man. Because it was rich in silver mines, it was considered a wealthy place. Therefore, the citizens lived quite abundantly. People’s houses were basically small buildings, and everyone’s food, clothing and life were not a problem at all.

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

At this time, while Chen Qi was not paying attention, Luffy secretly stretched his hand into Chen Qi's plate, grabbed a mouthful of food and ate it.

Luffy's rubber stretched, how could Chen Qi not see it: "You bastard, don't steal my food!"

Luffy pouted, "I'm not full yet."

Nami shouted at the two of them: "Be quiet for me! Listen to the others!"

Boss Tommy continued.

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

This guy is very greedy. As soon as he ruled this place, he began to extort money, ordering each household to pay a certain amount of silver per head per month, otherwise he would be severely punished.

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

What's even more excessive is that not only do you have to pay silver every month, but everyone who does business has to pay taxes, and even stall taxes have to be paid.

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

Boss Tommy sighed: "There have been several uprisings, and they have been easily suppressed by them. Their strength is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"Oh?" When Chen Qi heard this, he immediately became interested, "Can you talk about it?"

"Cough cough..."

Tommy cleared his throat and continued.

King Helian Coco can transform into a wild bull, with infinite strength and invincible courage on the battlefield. There are three generals under the king, the left general, the right general and the partial general, all of them are very powerful.

Because Boss Tommy just heard about it, and has not participated in the rebel army against Helian Coco (otherwise he would not be alive now), so he doesn't know much about them.

Listening to his description, Chen Qi knew that the king is a kind of cattle fruit ability person in the animal family (the Donghai people know very little about fruit).

"However, the king did not know where he recruited a national division, called Slok, five years ago. At first, because the number of rebels was relatively large, Helian's army was struggling, but it was also able to win, and since Slok After coming here, the guy doesn't know what kind of ability he has, no matter how many times the number of the rebels is more than the Helian army, as long as that guy is there, the Helian army can easily win, and...and..."

Sanji: "And what?"

Boss Tommy said, his face changed: "It would be fine if the rebels died on the battlefield, but if they fall into the hands of Slok alive, he will use cruel punishment to deal with the prisoners..."

Nami: "Cruel punishment..."

The more Tommy said, the more ugly his face became: "After a failed uprising, the rebels knew they couldn't win and surrendered, and then they were all tied to the stakes in the central square by the Helian Army and began to execute... See those The prisoner was suffering, and Slok actually laughed wildly. The blood of the prisoner pooled into a small stream. The body was not disposed of, but was tied to a post to dry... That Slok was not only powerful, but also very perverted. , just a devil..."

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

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

Usopp: "When something like this happens here, is the navy just sitting idly by?"

Tommy sighed: "Don't be so naive, this is a relatively remote place in the East China Sea, and it was originally relatively remote. The most important thing is that I heard that Helian Coco was also colluding with a Qiwuhai, and every year he will worship that Qiwuhai. A lot of silver, and some people also said that this guy is still a subordinate of the fourth emperor, what can such a person do when the navy comes?"

Indeed, even Aaron ruled more than 20 villages for eight years without seeing the navy, not to mention Helian Keco had such a background.

Hearing what the boss said, Sanji took a breath: "Four... Four emperors' subordinates? Are you still colluding with Qiwuhai? Are you kidding?"

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

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

Nami: "One...10,000 taels?!"

Ten thousand taels, equivalent to five million Baileys, six people is 30 million Baileys!

How can they have that much money?
