Chapter 39 'Deep Current' - Umit

As one of the emperors of the underworld, Umit’s business covers both the black and white worlds.

In this world where the ocean accounts for more than 90% of the land area, various islands are scattered throughout every corner of the ocean.

Countries, tribes, and cities mostly rely on sea transportation!

It can be said that whoever controls the shipping of this ocean controls the basic service industry of transportation in this world and holds the economic lifeline of the world!

Umit, the older man at the future Charlotte Lingling's tea party, has a big beard, bags under his eyes and age spots, and looks like an old alcoholic.

And now, it is the year 1489 in the Haiyuan calendar. This man is in his prime. Forty or fifty years old is the peak period of a man's career, and Umit is no exception.

Therefore, it is not so easy to make such a man with means, strategies, courage and capital easily surrender to others.

At this time, in a meeting room.

"!! Stop kidding! You really can say that, Piercro, you want me to take all my men and the assets I have built through life and death and surrender to someone else!"

A man shouted loudly. He was wearing a tall bicorne hat with an anchor pattern and a thick black beard. He looked like a vicious pirate.

"Umit, I'm doing this for your own good. You should be able to guess the power behind the young master. Let alone other things, just the three words "Golden Lion", can you afford to offend them?!"

Piercro has also been active in the underground world for many years and has the same status as Umit. When he heard Umit's words, he did not tolerate him at all. He directly refuted him and brought up the Golden Lion.

Sure enough, after hearing the name of the Golden Lion, Umit calmed down instantly. He glanced at Lex who was drinking tea on the main seat with fear in his eyes.

Yes, we all live in the New World, and we all know what the Golden Lion represents.

If you mess with the navy or the world government, as long as you have some strength, you can at most put up a bounty on your head in this chaotic sea and still live a free and easy life.

Offended the Golden Lion?

Sorry, you will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

All the thugs around you will try their best to kill you by any means necessary, and take your head to join the Flying Pirates in order to meet the Golden Lion.

What is most lacking in this chaotic sea is thugs who are not afraid of death!

So, at this moment, Umit was silent.

Seeing that Umit didn't say anything, Lex smiled slightly, put down the goblet in his hand and looked at Umit.

"Umit, don't worry. I can understand your hesitation for a while. I like to speak frankly. I won't retaliate against you. You can think about it more."

After a pause, Lex continued.

"Are you worried about the World Government?"

At this moment, Lex's ability to read minds finally played a crucial role.

He saw the hesitation deep in Umit's heart!

And what Umit was thinking at this moment was also quite complicated.

After so many years in the sea, especially in the New World, Umit knows very well that without the support of a few big pirates, he would have no room to survive.

Haven’t you seen the marriage between the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin and the Vinsmoke family in later generations? All six dark kings were present to watch the ceremony and gave her enough face.

in fact.

The relationship between the Dark King and the Great Pirate is not that complicated. It is impossible for a great pirate to completely subdue a Dark King.

Because this dark king can immediately turn around and lean towards other big pirates.

And these dark kings will also establish good relations with almost all the big pirates. Bailey comes almost every year. The dark kings need the support of these monsters who truly stand at the top of the sea!

So to put it bluntly, the Dark King is a hyena trying to survive in front of a group of tigers. He can get along with everyone and change his attitude according to the situation, but he will never easily turn to any big pirate.

Moreover, the world government has always been trying to strike a balance and never allow a single dominant power to occur.

There is only one prerequisite for this situation and balance, that is, many emperors stand side by side and compete with each other!

For example, the situation of the Four Emperors in later generations.

but.

What Umit didn't know was that the current sea was actually controlled by one person behind the scenes!

He connected almost all the big pirates!

As Umit was thinking about these situations, he was about to speak and implicitly told Lex that if he was pushed into a corner, he would immediately turn to Whitebeard, Wang Zhi or Roy and others, or even the World Government.

But the next moment, Lex spoke.

"Umit, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. My name is Leon Lex, I'm from the West Sea. My uncle is the Golden Lion, my mentor is the Red Earl, my adoptive father is the White Beard, my elders are the Silver Axe and Wang Zhi, and I have a brother, the 'Swift Swordsman' Xia Nuo. Oh, and the 'Dream Maker' Roy is also my sworn brother."

Every time Lex said a name, Umit's heart skipped a beat and his inner defenses gradually collapsed.

He did not doubt the authenticity of these words, because at the level of Lex and Umit, the truthfulness of these words could be revealed at any time.

Then, Lex added a sentence, which completely broke down the last bit of defense in Umit's heart.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have half celestial dragon blood. Although I don't want to admit it, those five old guys are always quite enthusiastic, so I'll just tell others about it."

“!!!! You! You! I…I…I want to ask something.”

Umit stammered, not knowing where to start. This was simply the most awesome self-introduction he had ever heard.

Lex doesn't play by the rules at all.

"please say."

Lex smiled gently.

"Did you really kill John and Du Field?"

Umit seemed to want to make one last struggle.

Unexpectedly, Pierre, who was playing with Pepe nearby, spoke first.

"Haha, Umit, I'll tell you plainly that John and Du Field were both killed by my young master himself because those two idiots couldn't see the situation clearly. That birdman Morgans should have told you secretly, haha."

Hearing this, Umit fell silent again.

He thought about a lot of things for a long time.

"........I, I'll join in."

After saying this, Umit seemed to have unloaded a mountain of burden, and in an instant he felt lighter.

But at the same time, he felt like he had aged a dozen years in an instant, and his spirit was completely wiped out by the words of the blond young man in front of him.

"Umit!"

Lex spoke up.

"? Well, does the young master have any instructions?"

Umit changed his words very quickly, which proved that he was qualified as a hero.

"I will not interfere with your daily operations, and you will not be responsible to anyone other than me in the future."

Lex spoke slowly, but Umit was stunned for a long time. He felt like he was hallucinating?

"What do you mean, young master? I don't have to do anything for the time being? Just continue to stay the same?"

Umit opened his mouth to confirm.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. As an outsider in the shipping business, why should I interfere with you, an expert? Besides, I really don't need you to do anything for the time being."

Umit was confused. Was this a trap? It didn't make sense. He had already agreed to join. Even if the young master took most of his business, he would have nothing to say. But, but the young master...
