Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

There was no need for others to say anything, but Locke knew that these were all admonitions from the captain to him.

"Thank you." Locke simply nodded silently, without saying anything more; he would keep it in his heart.

No need for many words, it is more than enough!

Chapter 17: Golden Island! This is the New World!

Golden Island!

The island has a very special history.

because!

The island is entirely golden, making it look as if it were cast from gold.

Over time.

On this island, there is a legend.

That is!

On this island lies a mysterious treasure, and whoever obtains it will acquire countless rare and precious items.

But!

As time went by, the treasure was indeed no longer found by anyone.

but.

Over time.

This island became famous in the new world, attracting people from all walks of life. It became a gathering place for all sorts of people and a trading island.

Worth to talk about!

Before that, the only trading islands, besides the Sabaody Archipelago, were Fishman Island and the Trading City on the Red Line.

The fact that Golden Island can be compared to the previous three already proves its geographical location.

It can be said.

Golden Island's geographical location is extremely unique, making it an absolutely top-tier trading island.

only.

This island is located in the New World, but what exactly is an island in the New World like?

That's a difficult thing to say!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Locke was also walking on Golden Island, while the captain and the others had already left after the transaction.

It can be said.

At this moment.

Locke was the only one left.

"Whoo~~~"

Locke exhaled a deep breath. Although he said he didn't care, he still had a vague feeling. He shook his head to shake off the mess of thoughts and calmed his mind, maintaining a peaceful state of mind.

Locke found a hotel, booked a room, removed his disguise, rubbed his face (which had been stiff for the past few days), and then left.

There are still many things to deal with, and I don't have time to waste here.

Locke's target was not Golden Island, but Hatchinos.

Golden Island served as a trading island.

Hatchinos is known as the pirate island.

Therefore.

Locke's goal was never the Golden Island, but Hatchinos.

only……

For businessmen like the captain, they only dare to come to Golden Island, no joke! What if they went to Hatchinos?

Hehehe~~~

Even if they go too far, they'll probably be eaten clean; that's no joke.

"This is Golden Island..." Locke murmured as he walked step by step on Golden Island, "It's truly prosperous! No wonder it's the famous trading island of the New World! It has practically everything!"

"that is……"

"I wonder if there are any Devil Fruits here."

As Locke muttered to himself, he walked toward the shipyard on Golden Island.

Ah!

Golden Island does have a shipyard, but it lacks skilled shipwrights. Most of the ships are ready-made, functional but... well, let's just say they're not exactly high-quality. That's a difficult question to answer!

so!

Generally speaking.

Basically, buying a boat on Golden Island is just a temporary measure, not something intended for long-term use.

For pirates!

A boat is like a second life.

Every pirate crew can be without crew members or strength, but! Building a pirate ship is absolutely essential; it's far too important for a pirate crew.

Locke was simply there to buy a ship.

but!

Locke stopped before he even reached his destination.

because……

Before Locke, three burly men with ferocious smiles blocked his path.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Hahaha~~~"

"Yo!"

"Kid!"

Are you planning to buy a boat?

Three burly men carried the pirate island on their backs, their eyes filled with a terrifying light, like three horrifying demons. Each of them was over three meters tall, and with their terrifying muscles, they looked like men to be trifled with.

"..."

Locke silently raised his head, looked at the three burly men, and calmly asked, "Now, what should I do?"

all in all.

Locke felt he should say hello, or rather, he should say something.

in this situation!

It was obviously quite awkward.

"Hehehe~~~"

Hearing Locke's words, the three burly men let out a ferocious laugh.

The burly man at the head of the group said cruelly, "Kid! Hand over all your treasures obediently."

"No!"

"No!"

"Brother, that's not how you say it! We just took his money and then helped him choose a boat!"

"Hahaha~~~"

As the three burly men talked, they all burst into wild laughter, each exuding boundless arrogance.

"Hmm~"

Locke nodded calmly and said, "I see! In that case, I understand."

"This is the new world, isn't it?"

"Oh~~~"

"Kid! Looks like you're not very bright!"

"But!"

"You're going to die anyway!"
