This world belonged to the sea, so it had a unique culture and customs. Since ancient times, countless people had rushed to the sea.
The sea was incomparably vast. She was the mother of all the people of the sea.
Therefore, whether you were a navy, a pirate, an adventurer, a merchant, or a fisherman, you were all equal in front of the sea. There was no favoritism at all.
In this era, the world was generally divided into two camps. One was the Order Camp led by the World Government, and its important representative force was the naval overlord that ruled the four seas!
The navy was very powerful. Relying on the support of the world government, the navy's power spread throughout the world.
However, in the past decade or so, the navy's strength had indeed declined.
According to what Algrim knew, the navy under the World Government had begun to shrink their forces in the New World. From the situation, it was very likely that they would be forced to withdraw from the New World.
The reason was reasonable. Many years ago, a powerful pirate named Locks appeared in the world.
He used the opportunity to make a lot of money and gathered a large number of very powerful guys under his banner, forming the famous Locks Pirates.
On the other hand, the Locks Pirates had gathered the top experts in the pirate field. In one breath, they had consolidated the pirate camp from its original loose state of fighting for themselves.
From a certain point of view, Locks had greatly increased the pirates 'strength.
The powerful Locks Pirates even declared that they wanted to conquer the world.
Furthermore, they had indeed taken this step. With the New World's climate and sea area as the foundation, they gradually expelled the naval forces in the New World, allowing the New World's sea area to enter a chaotic era dominated by pirates.
However, the spear hits the bird that sticks out, and the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The World Government had ruled the entire world for 800 years, and they were not so easily bullied. The Locks Pirates had still failed in the end.
During the battle at the God's Canyon, Locks, the pirate overlord, was directly beaten to death on the spot by Monchi D. Karp and the future Pirate King, the current Gold Roger.
Due to Roger's identity as a pirate, the World Government had kept this battle a secret to a certain extent. In addition, Karp's name for this battle was not very honorable. He was fighting to protect the Heavenly Dragon people, so he did not want to say anything more about this matter.
Therefore, in the battle of the Canyon of Gods, Roger was not mentioned in the official discussion. Karp became a naval hero and shattered the legend of the Locks Pirates.
However, although the 'big corporation' of the Locks Pirates had gone bankrupt due to poor management, the shareholders of all sizes were fine. The only one who had died was the chairman, Locks.
With the company gone, the board of directors immediately decided to split up.
Therefore, the top pirates of the Locks 'Pirate Squad all returned to their homes and resumed their old business.
Although the cohesion of the pirate camp had decreased greatly, the power of the pirate camp had spread out. They had divided the chaotic new world at an extremely fast speed and each of them had a firm foothold.
On the other hand, although the navy had won the battle at the Canyon of God, they had also suffered a lot of losses. Coupled with the decay of the world government and the low efficiency of the administrative operations, they had completely lost control of the New World's waters. It could be said that although they had won, they had still lost.
It was now the year 1496 of the Ocean Calendar, the eve of a great change in the era. The sea was filled with heroes fighting for power, and the navy was unable to control the New World. The pirates of the New World were competing with each other, wanting to fight for another pirate overlord after Locus!
The waves caused by the New World pirates 'struggle for hegemony eventually spread to the entire world, causing the North Sea to become even more chaotic. As a result, the number of pirates in the North Sea had increased recently.
Pirates were also divided into levels. Generally speaking, there were two levels: pirates who had a bounty on their heads by the world government, and pirates who did not have a name and called themselves pirates.
There were still many levels of subdivisions. Nowadays, they were basically divided according to the bounty. For example, those with a bounty of more than 100 million could be called great pirates. If they reached the level of Locks, they could even be called the pirate overlord.
Of course, the Four Kings and the Seven Martial Seas didn't exist anymore. As for the extremely arrogant title of One Piece King, it didn't even exist.
In the past, although there were many famous pirates with bounties in the North Sea, Orgrim had never encountered one. The pirates he met were basically minions. He would casually pull a group of people out to sea and hang the skull flag. When he saw a small town or island, he would go up and wreak havoc.
If they were lucky and came a few times, they might be valued by the navy and put up a bounty to officially become an 'officially certified' pirate.
However, most pirates did not have any real abilities. They could only bully the ordinary people and scare the honest civilians. Therefore, although there were a large number of pirates, most of these small fries did not have the ability to become 'officially certified'.
Of course, as long as you were wearing the pirate flag, the navy would capture you. Uncertified pirates like you naturally couldn't be sent to Impelton for imprisonment. Otherwise, it would have been full long ago.
After capturing these pirates, they would be demoted to slaves and sent to the world government to open mines and build roads. It was said that there was a bridge-building country in the East China Sea that was full of slaves. Many slaves came from this method.
There was another type of pirate with a bounty on their head. Once they were caught, they would be considered rich. The world government would pay them according to the bounty. This reward also led to a half-black and half-white industry called bounty hunters. They specialized in catching these bounty criminals for a living. They were also considered brave, but most of them were people who were neither high nor low. There were no particularly famous guys.
Of course, the bounty was not only available to bounty hunters. If the navy killed such pirates, they would also receive a corresponding reward, which could be considered a 'performance bonus.' The same applied to the rest of the people, including the fishermen and the guards from a remote town like Orgrim.
Now, Orgrim had killed a pirate with a 29 million bounty. As long as he reported this guy to the navy, the navy would send someone to check. If nothing went wrong, he would instantly be promoted to a rich man!
"Ahahahaha, with this money, the two of us can be considered to have the capital to settle down. We can have some confidence in whatever we do in the future.”Algrim laughed.
"That's right…" Beckman nodded with a smile, but he paused for a moment before continuing hesitantly,"" However, you know what kind of people our North Sea Navy is. 29 million Bailey is not a small amount. If they want to scam us…"
"That was exchanged with my life. If those bastards want to snatch food from my hands, they should ask my war hammer. Do they really think I'm someone easy to bully?”Algrim said domineeringly.
Speaking of which, the North Sea was really not a good place. It could be said that the people of the North Sea were tough, and the navy was very corrupt. Although it maintained a stable and peaceful appearance on the surface, the North Sea had always been turbulent.
In recent years, the gangs had been rampant. The Don Quijote family had emerged and swept the North Sea wantonly. They had become a behemoth in the North Sea.
There was also the evil Germa Kingdom, which constantly sold 'war' in the North Sea, causing turmoil in the various countries. It even caused a major evil incident that wiped out four countries.
With the two of them around, do you think the North Sea can develop peacefully?
Due to the navy's inaction, the Don Quijote Family and the Germa Kingdom's rampage, and the tides of the times, the North Sea was indeed not a good place.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed very likely that those b * stard navies, who had made the situation in the North Sea deteriorate to such a state, would really do something unscrupulous.
Thinking of this, Algrim looked at the warhammer on his wall.
This was not a weapon forged by Algrim himself, but a weapon sent by Goldfinger.
It was called the Hammer of Destruction by Orgrim!
The warhammer was undoubtedly very heavy. To be honest, with Algrim's current strength, it was a little difficult to swing it. If anyone hit it, they would either die or be injured.
Furthermore, the warhammer had an indestructible effect. Even after using it for so long, Orgrim did not see any damage to its 'skin'.
Most importantly, this warhammer had a skill, which was 'ready to go.'
It was funny that Orgrim often wore a leather sheath on his warhammer because of this skill, and Beckman often laughed at him.
It's fine if other swordsmen put a scabbard on their treasured saber, but you, a boorish man who wields a sledgehammer, also want to get a sledgehammer sheath?
In fact, Algrim did not like this slightly comical style, but the problem was that this skill was very practical. After wearing this leather cover, the warhammer would enter the state of accumulating power.
The longer it took to accumulate power, the more powerful it would be. According to his years of exploration, it could only accumulate power for three days at most.
In battle, the accumulated power of the warhammer would burst out within three minutes after the leather sheath was pulled off. It was truly a matter of death and injury!
It was equivalent to giving Algrim a berserk cheat, which could greatly enhance Algrim's combat power. For this reason, Algrim endured this somewhat comical operation.
"If the navy really doesn't have eyes and wants to bully me, Khaz 'goroth, I'll let them know that they've brought disaster to this world and the Hammer of Destruction!!!”
