Chapter 1441 Rumgrave
Rumgrave City was a name given to it due to the two things that one would find plenty of in this city.
Rum and Graves.
Situated 20 kilometers off the eastern coast of Emara, a poor mountainous country with difficult terrain. As such, this far away from it, this city was the biggest pirate hub in the world.
Any big countries strong enough to deal with them were far enough away that they couldn't deal with Rumgrave. If they did try to send their navy this way, the pirates would either fight back, resulting in a lot of deaths or simply run away as words would get to them very soon about an approaching army.
As a result, Rumgrave had become the biggest pirate city in the world, a completely lawless land run only under the control of 3 pirate captains that everyone feared.
"Captain Stillwater of the Stillheart pirates is known to be a very beautiful woman, who is as cruel as she is beautiful," Tony explained. "Captain Redfist is a barbaric captain who has probably killed more people than anyone else in the world. And finally, there is Captain Yolan. I have only ever heard of his name as being part of the big three pirates, but nothing more."
Tim and Jasmine looked at Tony, taking every word of his into heart. "You know a lot about this place," Ning asked Tony.
"I'm a scholar who likes to read what's on the news," Tony said. "These names are ones you constantly hear throughout newspapers. Not to mention, when traveling from the other side of the reef to this side, they warn you where you can go and can't."
"This is one of the main places you are told to be wary of from the very start," Tony said. "And yet you brought us right into the maws of the beast."
"Whether it is a beast or not, we will soon find out," Ning said.
"Sir Ning, are we seriously expected to complete that task?" Tim asked. "Record 10 treasures?"
Ning looked at the two men with massive muscles and tanned skin. He gave a small smile.
"What is your name?" Ning asked the old man.
"I am called Gunny," the man said. "You can call me that or dockmaster."
"I see, gunny," Ning said. "Here is the situation. I would've maybe paid you had you asked nicely, but you're not here for that. You're here to make money using your threats and your big men, so I will deal with you how you deal with everyone else."
Ning leaned in closer and whispered. "We will remain in this city for exactly 3 days, and 3 days later I will come back here and the ship will be here. If it's not..."
Ning's hands blurred for a moment and the old man felt a small breeze. Ning then pulled his hand out and showed something in it.
He saw a crumpled piece of gun with the metal forming nothing more than a sphere at his point. The old man looked at it, confused. "What? Is that supposed to be scary to me?" he asked. "Do you not recognize it?" Ning asked. "For someone named Gunny, you're too slow to recognize your own gun."
The man's eyes narrowed and he quickly touched his hips where his gun was supposed to be. It was not there at all.
He looked at the gun before him and slowly recognized by parts of its color that it was his. The man looked up at Ning with confusion and fear in his eyes.
"What did you do to my gun? When did you steal it?" he asked.
Ning smiled. "If I come back 3 days later and realize someone has stepped on my ship, it won't be your gun I do this too," he said. "It will be your head. Understood?"
The old man gulped in fear and quickly nodded. Ning patted his shoulders. "Good, good," he said. "Take good care of my ship."
He turned around to the three that were behind him. "Let's go. You have a lot to do here."
