I'm not going to tell you to talk to pirates. [But some of them have been in the New World and could tell Lupin more things. So he hopes Lupin can piece that out without Smoker actually suggesting such a thing; just by saying he won't suggest it.]
The history is lacking because our world isn't as developed as some of the others. People are a bit more busy dealing with seakings and pirates than writing down the events of the past. There was a ... historian [He makes the word sound so bitter and sarcastic, you'd almost think he hated historians] from our world here, but she left already. Again. I know quite a bit of it, though it's harder without my personal bookshelves.
[Ask him specific questions, and he can be a bigger wealth of knowledge than the pirates who don't even have a problem with revealing things that are relatively secret in their world.]
