Chapter Twenty-Nine: Like a Man's Back
"Yes."
In the midst of the laughter of the pirates with blue noses and swollen faces, Wren, who was sitting on the deck, took a newspaper from half a month ago and a bounty list handed over by them with an expressionless face.
Squinting his eyes, what caught his eye was Wren's own name, oh, yes, yes, has the bounty gone up again, why has it gone up? By the way, the Rednans thing......
The eyes glanced up again, and the neat bounty sheet was instantly ravaged by one hand.
The crumpled bounty slip in his hand trembled slightly, and Wren pushed it open again, pointing to the avatar on it, and asked the trembling pirate captain beside him with an oozing smile.
"That's how you recognized me?"
On that crumpled bounty list, in addition to marking the name of Wren Walker, it is a rather appalling bounty at the moment, as high as 200 million. However, this is not something that people will pay attention to at first glance. Rather, on top of the bounty, the hand-drawn portrait of the person.
The correctness of the bounty list has always been recognized as unmistakable, and the photos of those bounties were collected in many inconspicuous places, and among them, there were also many bounty criminals, because their whereabouts were too strange to find their own photos at all, at this time, the navy's painters would paint a rough face according to the information collected.
Since Wren has not been seen for months after the recent incident, it doesn't matter if he has no choice but to do so? The naval side decided to adopt the hand of God with the mastery of painters...... And on this bounty list of up to 200 million Bailey, the portrait with a similar outline of only Wren's face is four or five points, which is true...... It's too ugly. Whether it's the dead fish eyes, the thick lips, or some other element that makes people laugh. The portrait is said to have been made based on the bounty Wren had made when he was ten years old.
The question is...... Is this graffiti-like abstract painting painted by the artist with his mouth with his arms cut off, or is it painted with his feet?! Are all the painters of the Navy ugly pussies blown up by the cheeks of Monkey Saire?!
"Hoo ......"
Calm down...... Calm down......
Rubbing his increasingly painful stomach, Wren frowned slightly, put aside the bounty sheet that had no human rights at all, and opened the newspaper in his hand that was half a month old.
The general idea is that the small country named Rednans was wiped out by the pirate coalition, and the world was shocked for a while, but this coalition army was wiped out by the heroic navy in a short period of time, and at the same time rescued more than seventy percent of the people, and the commander of this time, Brigadier General Benjamin Gonson, will take up the post of lieutenant general in half a year because of this merit. In the end, by the way, the wanted was increased, and a bounty was offered for the only pirate who escaped justice, Wren Walker.
The news portrayed Wren as the mastermind behind the organization of this pirate alliance, and all the dirty water was poured on Wren, who was not actually wronged, and under one blow, he did kill hundreds of so-called first-class residents behind the city wall plus a royal city.
Because Wren's appearance disrupted the plans of Captain John and his father-in-law, Brigadier Benjamin Gonson, the two who could have gained fame and fortune were instantly out of control because Wren killed the royal family. In the end, through the information provided by John to Benjamin, fortunately, Brigadier Benjamin Gunson piled everything on Wren's body.
Relying on the relationship with the Benjamin family at the top, he finally successfully threw himself out of this dangerous incident and was promoted to two levels.
Wren, who did kill the royal family, was not wronged, but he just laughed at the high bounty on the bounty list.
The amount of the bounty can largely distinguish the trickiness of the bounty, but this bounty amount has changed slightly differently from the older generation of pirates since the era of the pirates.
Before Roger's conquest of the Great Voyage, the bounty for pirates was relatively low compared to after the era of pirates, and the reason was that pirates at that time were not as full of locusts as they are now, and there were very few famous pirates who could mix, and the rest were not worth mentioning, so the government, which did not have so much spare money, did not vigorously reward those unbeatable pirates.
And after Roger conquered the Great Voyage, more and more people hoisted skull flags on their ships that they didn't know the meaning of. In order to do evil in the four seas, the government was forced to put out fires everywhere, and finally reluctantly increased the intensity of the bounty and turned to the private forces for help, and the profession of bounty hunter has emerged in the past year with the number of pirates not to lose.
Now Wren's 200 million Bailey bounty is very watery and low in gold for the older generation of pirates who regard the bounty amount as strength and glory.
The amount of the bounty is certainly a factor of strength, but more of a factor is the degree of harm of the pirate, the degree of harm to the people, the degree of cruelty, etc. Therefore, in this era when the old and new bounty systems are still imperfect, it is common to see guys with tens of millions of Baileys taking down hundreds of millions of Bailey's heads.
Wren's reward of 200 million yuan was given because the act of destroying a country was too bad to reach the point where it could not be left unchecked, and the strength factor only accounted for a small half, and the bad influence accounted for most of it.
"That, if you don't dislike it, please use it."
An emotionless voice came from the side, and Wren turned his head and squinted his eyes at the owner of the voice.
Wren: "......"
A pitch-black figure covered Wren's vision, the corners of his eyes twitched and he looked up, even though he was kneeling, the man was still a head above Wren.
Why? Such a tall guy would have a slim-looking body!
It was a tall young man with almost perfect proportions, holding two huge plates filled with roast meat and fruit drinks.
"What do you mean?"
Wren asked softly, and the tall young man glanced at the group of pirates behind him who were observing this side with his unwavering dead fish eyes, turned his head, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Everyone from the White Rock Pirates said that you don't have to be polite, just say anything that is not well received."
"Oh, yes."
As Wren's gaze turned, the pirates who were far away immediately nodded and took care of it, but they didn't dare to approach.
"Don't worry, I'll get off the boat when it gets to the next island, so they don't have to worry."
The guys were undoubtedly worried that Wren would make some dangerous moves, or that the treasure on the ship might be blackened. Unfortunately, Wren is not interested in any of this at the moment. Although Wren prefers to sit or lie down rather than wander, he has been recuperating in the empty lighthouse for more than a month, with only an old man and a whale living a precarious life. The most important thing is that the solitude of the life-threatening silence forces Wren to be active and see colors other than the lighthouse and the sea.
The tall young man nodded, put down the food in his hand, and knelt quietly in front of Wren, looking at Wren with the eyes of the two dead fish that had no emotional fluctuations.
“…… Also, what's the matter? ”
Gazing at the empty dead fish eyes, Wren asked a little uncomfortably. Doesn't this kid know that the feeling of oppression brought about by that huge height is very powerful? Coupled with expressionlessness and dead fish eyes, how bitter and bitter are you?
"No, nothing. It's just that the first time I saw a pirate with a bounty of 200 million, I thought there must be some difference between it and humans, and it didn't seem to be any different. ”
In your heart, aren't the pirates who have offered hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards human beings anymore?!
Looking at the tall figure that should be more than 1.9 meters tall again, and the height barely passed 1.7 meters, Wren comforted his seventeen-year-old self that he was still developing.
"Then again, you, how old are you this year?"
"Huh?"
The tall young man was a little puzzled by the puzzled question, but there was nothing to hide, and said in a calm voice.
"Yes, let me think about it...... I'm fifteen years old. ”
Lost!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Wren quickly disguised his frustration in an area. Tighten the shabby fur-collared coat, although it is already spring, and the strong guy is naturally no longer afraid of the cold, but after all, there is still a cold period of returning to the cold, a gust of sea breeze drifted by, and the cold Wren coughed lightly involuntarily.
"You...... Not a member of this pirate group. ”
There's obviously an aura that doesn't fit in with that vote of pirates.,This tall man.。 Moreover, unlike the pirates who cowered, there was no fear of Wren in the eyes of those dead fish, could it be that they had no fear of their own martial arts?
"Yes, when I was in the South China Sea, this kind pirate pulled me aboard, and we all came to the Great Voyage together."
"Oh, so you're not a pirate?"
"I'm ...... An explorer, let's not. ”
Obviously, he has a rather bluffing figure and a pair of eyes that seem extremely vicious to others, but this serious attitude that almost always asks people is a lot of improvement.
Under the gaze of Wren, who had changed slightly, the tall young man quickly took out a notebook and a pen from his arms, and still said in a flat voice that had no emotion and no meaning.
"Please be my portrait model."
"Huh?"
"The portrait on the Navy's wanted list is completely incomprehensible, and the Navy Headquarters itself is somewhat aware of it. Therefore, ask for accurate photographs and sketches of Wren Walker at the bottom of the paper, and there will be a reward of 200,000 Baileys afterwards. ”
“…… So? ”
"Because the camera was hard to get hold of, I had to sketch. Please don't move, I'm going to start drawing. ”
"Nope! I'm not talking about this! This kind of thing is really wrong with the person who was offered a bounty, right?! Yes?! ”
The plain dead fish glanced at Wren, who had twitched at the corners of his mouth, and then nodded and said.
"Two hundred thousand Baileys, one and a half of us."
"Is that the point?!"
Oh no, Wren felt like he was running out. Is this dead fisheye in front of you an idiot? Did you ask for a portrait in front of the bounty hunter for someone to hunt down? And it's serious......
Rubbing his aching eyebrows, Wren tried to calm the turmoil in his heart, and he didn't know why he was inexplicably led by this serious idiot and led by his nose. Don't pay attention to the painting of this guy's old god anymore, anyway, it's better to replace the poor portrait on the current bounty list that can't bear to look at directly.
After hesitating, he picked up two pieces of meat that had been grilled from the plate in front of him and threw them into his mouth, although it was a long time before he had eaten meat, but the expression like eating bitter herbs appeared on Wren's no longer immature face.
Eating may be a joy in life, but this pleasure will not be a pleasure for Wren from now on. It is not an exaggeration to say that the inside of the body is full of holes, and it is already quite an incredible miracle that he can breathe alive, just as Kulokas did, the only thing he can do is to repair the ruptured internal organs as much as he can. After that, relying on Wren's own more and more proficient skills, the ability called [Immortal Martial Body] acted on the body.
Rennes, who was still alive and already grateful to Dade, felt severe labor pains all over his body from time to time, and he didn't know if he had been irreparably injured in that battle.
With one person hostile to five thousand, he broke into a great murderous name. There are many factors that can lead to victory. Among the 5,000 people, there are less than 1,000 who can be called warriors, and the rest are miscellaneous fish whose average combat strength is below or around the average combat strength of ordinary people. But after all, that's 5,000 lives, and no amount of trash fish you kill can prove that you're strong, but the price you pay is painful.
Wren, who hates pain very much, can now feel a sharp pain spreading all over his body at all times, although he can't die, but this can be regarded as retribution.
The tall young man who was concentrating on painting was sluggish and remembered that he had not yet introduced himself.
"By the way, my name is Louis Ann......"
The shouts interrupted the belated self-introduction, and the excited words made the whole boat surge with extraordinary energy!
"See! It's an island! ”
Overcoming the obstacles of the four seas and standing out from the crowd, the pirates have finally seen the dream corner of the great voyage!
