I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

"Hmm~"

Upon hearing this, Hook's heart began to struggle again, and the struggle intensified.

Having already tasted lollipop once, the delicious flavor made Hook want to try it again.

After hesitating for a moment, Hook asked Luffy in a low voice.

"Are you sure you won't tell Uncle Sambo that Hook betrayed him?"

"Of course, what happened today will remain a secret between the two of us, and we won't tell anyone else!"

Hearing this, Hook finally made up his mind.

Hook leaned close to Luffy's ear and whispered something to him.

“Then let me tell you, when I came out this morning, Hook saw Uncle Sambo sneaking off toward the north of town. I went up to him and asked him, and Uncle Sambo said he was going to make a lot of money!”

Soon, Hook betrayed Sambo completely.

"Then thank you very much for the information, little Hook!"

Seeing this, Luffy smiled and handed the lollipop in his hand to Hook.

Looking at the big lollipop in his hand, Hook immediately smiled.

"Uncle Sambo, slurp! Sorry, lollipop slurp! It's just too delicious!"

Hook felt guilty for betraying Sambo while eating a lollipop.

Hook believed that someone as good as Uncle Sambo would forgive him!

"Alright, Hook, now that you've got the lollipop, you should leave!"

At this moment, Seele saw Hook happily eating a lollipop and immediately reminded him.

"Okay, Sister Xier!"

Upon hearing this, Hook nodded and prepared to leave.

"By the way, Hook, take these and share them with your friends!"

When Luffy saw that Hook was about to leave, he stopped him and then put a handful of candy into Hook's pocket.

Looking at his pockets full of candy, Hook's gaze towards Luffy changed.

"Thank you, Brother Luffy. Next time you need anything, just come to me, Lord Black Hook, for help!"

After thanking Luffy, Hook skipped away excitedly.

Once Hook had walked away, Bronya came to Luffy's side and spoke to him earnestly.

"Luffy, I hope the next time I see you, it won't be because you've been arrested and thrown into the Silvermane Guard's cell for kidnapping a child!"

After all, Luffy was a friend of Bronya's, and she didn't want him to go astray.

But seeing how easily Luffy gained Hook's trust made Bronya worry.

"How can you look at me like that? Do I look like the kind of weirdo who would lure little girls to look at goldfish?"

After hesitating for a moment, Bronya nodded.

"Yes, very similar!"

Even Seele, who was standing next to you, nodded in agreement.

When she was about to go back, she told Hook to make sure he told her that if Luffy said he wanted to take her to see something nice next time, she should remember to tell him!

"This is slander! I'm going to sue you!"

Seeing that the two of them didn't trust him at all made Luffy very angry.

Does he really look like the kind of weird uncle who likes little girls?

"Forget about what Luffy likes for now, let's find out where Sambo is first!"

It was Seele who stepped forward and spoke.

Originally, she just wanted to beat up Sambo.

But when he heard Hook say that Sambo was going to make a lot of money, he felt something was wrong.

After all, where in the lower districts can you make big money?

The only place where you can make a lot of money is probably a fight club.

But judging from Sambo's tone, he was clearly not going there.

The place Sambo came from almost overlapped with the area Seele was patrolling.

Seele didn't know where to make money here.

So now Seele is very puzzled as to where Sambo is going to make big money.

This isn't a problem that can be solved with just a beating!

"Where should we look for him now?"

Although they had a general idea of ​​Sambo's location, finding him was still quite difficult.

"I might be able to find Sambo's location!"

At that moment, Luffy suddenly spoke.

"Really? Then where is he?"

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately asked.

Upon hearing this, Luffy also looked towards the distance.

There is a rock pillar that supports both the upper and lower zones.

That enormous rock pillar stood not far from the town of Panyan.

If Luffy remembers correctly, Sambo should know of a secret passage that allows free access to the upper and lower levels.

In this vast underground space, the only connection between the upper and lower levels is the cable car.

That leaves only the stone pillars supporting the upper and lower levels.

If Sambo really does have a secret passage connecting the upper and lower levels, then it must be related to these stone pillars.

Seeing that Luffy didn't speak, Seele and Bronya also looked in the direction of Luffy's gaze.

"Hum hum!"

Beside a stone pillar not far from Panyan Town.

As the objects used for concealment slowly fell away, a figure crawled out of the hole behind the pile of things.

Sambo patted the dust off his clothes and couldn't help but smile as he looked at the Winter City Shield he had earned that day.

Thinking about the ancient civilization exchange and appreciation activity he had just participated in, Sangbo couldn't help but hum softly.

If there were a few more buyers, Sambo felt he would soon become the richest man in the lower district.

"Alright, that's about enough for today. Time to go back and rest!"

With that, Sangbo stretched and covered the cave entrance again before walking towards Rocky Town with a relaxed expression.

But before he could take two steps, three figures blocked his way.

Upon seeing one of them, Sangbo's face immediately adopted a fawning expression.

"Isn't this Sister Seele? What brings you here?"

"Hmph, you know perfectly well what's going on!"

She glanced at the hole behind Sambo that had just been covered up, and a cold smile appeared on Seele's face.

"What is that hole behind you?"

"There's no big sister here, it's just one of my secret hideouts. You know, we guys just like this kind of thing!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy nodded in agreement.

He also had a secret hideout when he was a child, but unfortunately, that place was later used as a brothel.

In the end, Luffy had no choice but to report them with tears in his eyes. Not only was the hideout gone, but Luffy's secret base was also destroyed.

Although he received a sum of money, the childhood he spent in the secret base was gone forever.

"You think I'd believe that?"

Seele sneered and tightened her grip on the scythe.

"If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Big Sister Seele, I'm really telling the truth!"

He's still a seasoned veteran, and even now, Sangbo refuses to admit it.

"Sambo Koski! I remember you. You committed multiple crimes in the Upper District, including theft, trafficking in antiquities, and prison break!"

At this moment, Bronya seemed to remember something and looked at Sambo with a serious expression.

The main reason I only remembered Sambo now is that Bronya didn't recognize him at first.

Jepard, who was in charge of creating the wanted posters, had a rather questionable ability to draw.

The portrait on the wanted poster features an abstract style.

I only knew the name Sambo because I often heard Jepard say that there was a man named Sambo who often escaped right under his nose.

He runs away, he chases, he can't fly!

"I'm innocent, Commander Bronya! I've never been to the Upper District!"

Upon hearing this, Bronya gave a cold laugh.

"Since you've never been to the Upper District, how do you know my name and that I'm a member of the Silvermane Iron Guard?"

Keep in mind that the people on the upper and lower levels haven't seen each other for almost ten years.

Even though Sambo visited the Upper District ten years ago, Bronya was just a child back then.

Putting aside the fact that more than ten years have passed, Bronya no longer looks like herself when she was a child.

Back then, Bronya spent almost the entire year in Kripper Castle, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to see her.

Upon hearing that his lie had been exposed, Sambo's smile vanished instantly.

He reached for his waist and pulled out a hand grenade.

"Now that you've figured it out, I'm not going to keep up the act anymore. Let's get straight to the point!"

Sambo gritted his teeth and pulled the pin on the grenade in his hand.

"not good!"

Seeing Sambo detonate a grenade in a frenzy was something Seele and Bronya never expected.

The two immediately assumed defensive stances, preparing to withstand the impending impact.

But after a few meetings, the two found that the shock they had imagined did not come at all.

Looking in the direction of Sangbo, one then realizes that what he had just taken out was not a grenade, but a smoke grenade.

Thick smoke slowly rose, obscuring the surroundings completely.

Sambo had already taken advantage of this opportunity to slip away.

"You've been tricked! This is my escape route!"

As he ran, Sambo didn't forget to taunt the two people in the smoke.

"hateful!"

The two men in the smoke gritted their teeth upon hearing Sambo's irritating words, but the smoke was too thick for them to discern directions.

Meanwhile, Sambo, thanks to the speed he had honed through years of chasing the Silvermane Iron Guards, had already run far ahead.
