Chapter 3: The Mutated Bounty Order
Whiskey Mountain:
Whiskey Hill is actually a small archipelago that looks like a cactus from afar. But if you look closer www.biquge.info you will find that the thorns on those cacti are all nameless tombstones.
It is a must for the first entry of the great voyage, and it is also a checkpoint for those who wish to sail the sea. Whiskey Mountain, in fact, is a stronghold of bounty hunters, where hundreds of bounty hunters are entrenched. Usually disguised as ordinary people, he warmly greets the pirates who come and go, but he will always take down the pirates when they are unprepared, and add more thorns to their peaks.
In addition to being superficial islands and essentially bounty hunters, they are also members of the Baroque Walker Company, known as the company's million-dollar elders. Despite its nice name, it's just a miscellaneous soldier under Crockdahl.
At this time, it is the time when the moon is in the sky, but the island is brightly lit and exudes laughter. The Straw Hat Pirates are partying with the people of the island.
"Come on, drink! If you win, you can get a huge prize!"
"Dance, sing, be merry!"
"Oh oh oh ~ I'm Captain Usopp! oh oh ~ I have 80 million men!"
"Wow~ That's a lot of meat!"
……
In the midst of laughter, a happy atmosphere permeated the room. Festive, carnival, wine, food, these words completely blurred Luffy's heart, and under the deliberate flattery of the islanders, they let down their vigilance and threw themselves into the sea of happiness, digging to their heart's content.
Contrary to the joyous atmosphere, in a corner of the square, hidden in the shadows behind the firelight, two people were talking. One of them was dressed as a nun, while the other was a strange-looking man with long, curled white hair.
"Mr.8, is it worth it for us to spend so much money? It's just a few newcomers who have just entered the great voyage, wouldn't it be better if everyone rushed to it?" asked the burly nun in a rough voice.
"Ahh......h
"Is the bounty amount?" he wondered, "how tall can a group of newcomers be? ”
"Ahh......h
"Ahh......h
Rewind time to a few days ago:
The Holy Land of Mary Joy is the name given to the location of the Naval Headquarters. As with the daily routine, the soldiers practiced in full swing, the naval officers fought endlessly, and the clerical struggled for power......
As always, Brigadier General Vincennes processes information from all over the world. The skillful and rapid classification and approval of the approval show the strength of a civilian officer who is high in the rank of brigadier general. Although the Navy Headquarters is a place where generals walk the streets and there are many lieutenants like dogs, his power as a commodore is also very high.
Every day, some small uprisings break out all over the world, and every day, some people around the world will pull up their flags and go out to sea, and as the person in charge of drawing up the bounty order, Brigadier General Vincennes has a vicious vision. Almost any look at it can tell the other person's ability.
"In just a few days, all the tens of millions of pirates in the East China Sea have swept ......" Brigadier General Vincent hurriedly swept over, and took a stroke of the pen very casually, "The bounty is twenty-five million, the newcomer in the East China Sea, I haven't seen it for a long time......"
"A swordsman who used to be a bounty hunter? If you're a pirate, then, give him 8 million, it's just a little person......" Vincent said, casually setting it aside.
"Hmm...... What is this?Pinocchio? Isn't it funny, people nowadays don't think of bounties as a serious thing anymore......" Vincent sighed, ready to toss it aside, but suddenly froze.
"Wait...... This nose ......" Vincent looked carefully at the photograph in his hand, which had some brief introductions to the owner, "Usopp ...... Born in ...... The position is...... Sniper?!"
Vincent was stunned, hurriedly put down the photo in his hand, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out one of the somewhat shabby folders that had been looked through. I flipped through it very skillfully, and I turned to the page I wanted.
"The 'Red-Haired Pirates' sharpshooter, Jesus Bu...... Long nose ...... Hahaha, interesting, it seems that I have slacked off because of my long work, and it seems that I am the one who doesn't take the bounty as a serious thing!" Vincent touched his nose self-deprecatingly, and then took together the several bounty reports he had seen before.
"Are they all from the 'Straw Hat Pirates'?" Vincent pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and picked up the phone, "Hey, investigate it immediately, I need these materials......"
Half an hour later, Vincent left his office with the folder a little tired, and walked towards the office of Marshal Sengoku.
"Knock knock~" Vincent knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
"Your Excellency, Marshal. Vincent pushed open the door and saluted Marshal Sengoku, who was sitting behind his desk, and said, "My subordinates have some important things to report. ”
"Oh, then you can say it. Sengoku listened to Vincent's words, and rarely reorganized his demeanor and sat straight at him.
"Yes. Vincent walked to the desk of the Warring States, handed over the folder in his hand, and said, "Now that a new group of newcomers have appeared in the four seas, they are powerful, and I can't choose the specific reward amount for the time being, so I am here to report." ”
"Can't you even say for sure? After a casual glance, Sengoku flicked the seagull above his head, and then drove away the sheep at his feet, looking intently at Vincent, looking forward to his speech.
"Yes, although there are powerful newcomers such as Kidd these days, what really makes me uncertain is the members of the 'Straw Hat Pirates'. Vincent pushed his glasses, his sharp gaze flashing.
"The 'Straw Hat Pirates' are all from the East China Sea, and the known number is five, namely 'Straw Hat Boy' Monchi D. Luffy, the three-sword swordsman Nonoloa Zoro, the navigator Nami, the sniper Usop, and the chef Sanji. Vincent paused, then continued, "Its main combat force, according to my speculation, Usopp should be the son of the 'Red-Haired Pirates' sharpshooter Jesus Bu, who is also a sniper, and his talent is a potential threat that cannot be ignored. ”
"Sanji, the chef who came out of the sea restaurant Barati, should be the descendant of the former 'barefoot' Zhuofu......"
"Nonoroa Zoro, who created his own three swords and was appreciated by Hawkeye, and injured him as a Devil Fruit Capable while fighting Brigadier General Smoker, oh no, Smoker Greater. Vincent corrected his slip of the tongue and said, "I suspect that he has mastered the use of domineering, or similar energy." ”
"And the regimental commander Monchi D. Luffy, who can be their captain, must not be a simple character. However, I can't collect his combat data, so I can't make a conclusion for the time being, which is my dereliction of duty......"
"However, according to the news I have learned, Luffy seems to have a friendship with Crockdahl, and this time Crockdahl made a big fuss about Rogue Town in order to take him into the Great Voyage...... In addition, his straw hat also seems to be the same one that once belonged to the pilgrims. So, based on all of the above, I can't set a bounty for the time being. ”
"That's right, hehe, that's good. Sengoku complimented, "It's good to be able to investigate so many things in such a short time...... The Navy will remember your exploits, Rear Admiral Vinson!"
"Yes, Lord Marshal!" said Vincent, who had been promoted one level, saluted with suppressed excitement, and then left the office.
"Karp ......" Marshal Sengoku's face was a little unpleasant, and two words burst out from between his teeth, "If there is no report, how long will your criminal family bloodline gallop before it surfaces?"
Soon after, Vice Admiral John Jaindo, a giant sword on his back, shouted impassionedly in his invincible voice, and the voice resounded through the Admiralty Headquarters: "Announce a new bounty!"
"'Straw Hat Boy' Monchi D. Luffy, 70 million Bailey bounty for life or death!Roronoa Zoro, 56 million Bailey bounty for life or death!Usopp, 30 million Bailey bounty for life or death!Sanji, 20 million Bailey bounty for life or death!Nami, 6 million Bailey for life or death!"
"The 'Straw Hat Pirates' are designated as a gang of extremely evil criminals, and the total bounty is 182 million Bailey, effective today!"
The voice echoed endlessly, shouting three times before stopping, and the medals on John Jaindo's chest swayed and collided like chimes......
History, with a gentle impetus to the wind, has quickened the pace of travel. It's just that I don't know if there will be a possibility of deviation, but at this time, Luffy and his gang are the beneficiaries......
Back to Whiskey Mountain:
At the end of the feast, the burning bonfire was gradually extinguished, and the night was silent. Luffy and the others, who were full of food and drink, traveled all over the place.
"Haha! I'm so happy! That's a lot of meat! uh...... Call...... Whew...... Luffy, who was like a huge ball, suddenly shouted, and then continued to fight.
"Whew...... It turned out to be a dream talk, scared people to death......" The bounty hunters who were tiptoeing towards Luffy and the others were so startled by the sudden voice that they retreated to the back of the house and hid, and only after realizing that Luffy was talking in a dream did they exhale and let go of their hanging hearts.
"What are you going to do? Don't you know that the great sea warrior, Lord Usopp, is here? I'm a sea thief with a bounty of 30 million!...... The bo......unty hunters, who had just poked their heads out, suddenly sat down on the ground in fright by Usopp's dream words, broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at each other in shock.
In the corner, the blue-haired girl in a large robe smiled strangely. She has a melon seed face, two big eyes, very godly, and her blue hair is combed into a spiritual ponytail.
"No problem, right??" the nun asked, dressed as she asked the girl.
"Hehe, no problem, just a bunch of greedy pirates......" tugged at the robe he was wearing, with a hint of cunning on his face.
