Located in the unnamed sea area in the first half of the Great Shipping Route...... The reason why it is said to be an unnamed sea is because it is really an unfamiliar territory that cannot be found on any nautical chart.

Originally, the great route was a mysterious sea area with the unknown as the main theme, not to mention the troubled times when pirates are now in charge, if you really want to completely explore this sea area, just the first half of the sea area, I am afraid it will take more than hundreds of years, and it is only possible to fill in countless lives in the crisis of countless dangerous currents and sea kings.

Nowadays, in this dangerous sea where only sea kings are rampant, a small sailing ship floats leisurely here.

On the spacious deck, someone was lying on a wicker chair, with Erlang's legs crossed, covering his face with a newspaper, lazily enjoying his afternoon sleep.

In addition to this, there were still three or four crew members on deck, and compared to the lazy fellow, these crew members were much more nervous, and they did not stop for a moment to stare at the sky with binoculars, as if looking for something.

There were still a few people in the sailor's cabin, companions who had changed shifts with them. In addition to this, there are still more than eight or nine sailing ships not far away, and the sailors on them are doing the same. On the lazy guy's ship, there were more than three people in the cabin who received information based on a special phone bug, interpreted it, and sorted it down.

"Ahhh......h We've been looking for seven months, Mr. Herodotus, does that really exist? ”

Lying lazily on the chaise longue, Mr. Herodotus, who had been on vacation on this boat for half a year, replied sullenly.

"Sa, who knows, according to the latest intelligence, the way forward of that thing is estimated to be in this area."

The crew asked a little puzzled: "Anyway, it's just a rumor with no definite news, why did you come over, is it a bit overkill?" ”

Removing the newspaper from his face, the tall Herodotus rubbed his eyebrows, and his burgundy hair was tied in a ponytail, and everyone in the organization knew that Mr. Herodotus had a good temper that was extremely inconsistent with that mean face, and even if he made a mistake, he would forgive him and give him a chance to make amends.

He took the water handed over by his subordinates, moistened his throat and said.

"This matter was arranged by the boss himself, which shows that he attaches great importance to this operation. Sending me here is enough to show how seriously he attaches this matter, but it is really not a matter to wait like this, and if there is no result by then, then this operation can be canceled. ”

"Yes, if you continue to look for it like this, the brothers can't bear it physically and mentally! I haven't seen my lovely Tricia for half a year, and I'm such a father who hasn't been with her since the birth of that child. ”

"Bear with me, our company's purpose is to be foolproof. If something goes wrong, even I won't be able to get good fruit to eat. ”

"Yes, we all understand the truth, but ......"

The middle-aged man, who was already a father, smiled bitterly, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by an intelligence officer who came out of the cabin behind him.

"Mr. Herodotus, regarding the members of our company's third battle sequence, Buck Bardock's regular contact with [Little Garden] has been fruitless for a long time, and after reporting to the headquarters just now, we have received definite information. Buck Bardock has been confirmed dead. ”

"Oh?"

Raising his eyebrows rather in surprise, Herodotus took the information book handed by his subordinates, which recorded many matters, including transactions with the navy and many news with pirates, among which there were only a few things that he was more concerned about, and the death of a member of the third battle sequence was something worthy of his attention.

Even if he is not at the headquarters, the spy force with him will report the first news to him at any time, so that he can smoothly command the company's personnel in this sea area.

Herodotus was one of only two people in the first battle sequence, and there were only seven members in the second battle sequence, and they were senior members of the company, and many important tasks were directly handled by them. The third battle sequence is the real core of force within the company, and it is the mainstay that supports the company's black business, and the number is small, only twenty people.

In the third battle sequence, the lower the ranking, the smaller the power he has, although Buck's ranking is not high, but in a place like [Small Garden], he is just a rookie pirate who has just entered the great voyage from the four seas, and someone can actually kill him?

Although there was some surprise, Herodotus was not very surprised, and the intelligence officers continued to report.

"Based on the time of Buck Bardock's death and the recovered autopsy report, as well as the mission objectives assigned to him by the company, we finally confirmed that it was the pirate with a bounty of 200 million Bailey, and Renne Walker was the work of this person. He was one of the objectives of Buck Bardock's mission, and the time of his visit to the sea near the small garden coincided. ”

After a pause, the intelligence officer in a black suit said in an inquiring tone.

"As for the follow-up of Rennes Walker, please decide."

It's been a common thing to deal with this place recently.,In the face of this kind of person.,If you know each other, you'll be recruited into the company.,As for those who don't know each other......

"Leave him alone."

"Huh?"

Herodotus' words surprised the intelligence officers, and he was quick to explain.

"Leave it alone, there are many such people in this era of pirates, not to mention that I have seen this guy's experience, he actually destroyed a kingdom, and the government will not sit idly by. It's one thing to survive or not, and now it's too hot to solicit in the past. As for revenge, it's not worth it, Buck's mission itself is a shady move, and few people know about it, so there's no need to go back to the field with great fanfare. In addition, if you can destroy a kingdom, your strength will not be much worse, so you can't send more people for this. ”

"There are a lot of pirates that we have absorbed from the Great Voyage, and the most important thing now is manpower, this kind of madman who can even be willing to oppose the country and dare to hit the face of the government, our company is not sensitive."

Herodotus rose from his wicker chair, stretched, and stared sleepily at the clouds in the sky.

After the report's subordinate nodded, he was about to turn around and go to make arrangements.

"Ah, you wait for now. I remember that Buck guy wasn't single, right? ”

"Yes, Buck Bardock has a wife and son on the island of [Netherul] near the [Little Garden], and a pair of parents are still alive, and it was because of his proximity to home that he took over the task of [Little Garden] in the first place...... What do you mean? ”

The eyes of the intelligence officer in the suit and leather shoes immediately turned cold, their company is a brewing company on the surface, but behind the scenes, it is an illegal group that controls the bounty hunter organization, the assassination organization, etc. The members also believe in mysticism and have little contact with each other, so they must not divulge a single bit of information about the company, and there are many people who have been silenced for this. And Buck, as the number one fighter in the company's platoon, if his family gets some mouth, he will be touched......

The crew member, who was still missing his daughter before, suddenly felt a chill on his back and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

"Ah, yes, give Buck's salary for the next five years to his family, and the money will be paid from me, and it will be regarded as a subsidy."

“…… Mr. Herodotus, this is not in order, is it? ”

Herodotus smiled lightly and didn't say anything more, he just remembered that he came to the Great Voyage with the boss, all these years have passed, there were so many partners at the beginning, and now only he and another bastard are left.

He glanced at the bounty list on the table next to him, the latest bounty list released by the Navy was a delicate portrait in place of a photo, Wren Walker, with a bounty of 200 million Bailey. Herodotus is past the age of blood, but he has not been corrupted into a jackal by the darkness of this world, and although he can't avenge Buck for the sake of the company, he can take care of his family as much as he can. Unlike other organizations, the members of the first to third battle sequences are all henchmen who have been brought up by him and another bastard, and each of them has a relative affection, and it is because of his sincerity that these guys leave no stone unturned to work hard for the company.

You'd better die at the hands of the navy or pirates, or I'll come to you myself when I'm free.

Herodotus said silently to the new bounty order.

Waves of water suddenly rose from the surface of the sea, and mountain-like sea kings roared out to swallow these delicious cookies on the sea, this sea area was originally a dangerous area infested by sea kings.

None of the sailors on board panicked and turned a blind eye to the Sea Kings who were about to engulf them in one gulp.

Herodotus stood at the bow of the ship and calmly glanced at the giant sea king.

Naturally, the mountain-like sea kings could not feel the gaze of extremely small humans, but when Herodotus took one look at it, it fell down, lost consciousness and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea......
