2 Undercurrents
Following.
After his daily morning workout, Roy heads to town and walks into the familiar Bounty Bar, where he finds the atmosphere different from usual.
When I asked, it turned out that the navy had spotted signs of pirates around Rogue Town last night.
Rogue Town is one of the most famous towns in the East China Sea.
In addition, the town of Rogue was a key naval town due to its access to the Great Shipping Route, as well as for some special reasons. Under the leadership of Colonel Smoker, the commander of Rogue Town, it has been free from pirates for a long time.
However, since the Straw Hat Kid's 30 million Bailey bounty came out yesterday, the entire East China Sea has been boiling.
Many bounty hunters are sharpening their knives and preparing to attack.
Even, some treacherous and cunning pirates are ready to join forces with bounty hunters and target this tempting 30 million Bailey.
Not only can you increase your value, but you can also get benefits, so why not?
"Hey, Roy, have you heard of that straw hat boy?"
An acquaintance comes to Roy's side.
He is the town's bounty hunter called Skarlu.
The pirate who once hunted the 8 million Bailey bounty is one of the strongest bounty hunters in town.
"You're interested in him?"
Roy raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Didn't the bounty of 30 million Bailey scare you away, but instead aroused your courage?" β
"If it was just me, I certainly wouldn't say that."
Scarlu smiled and said, "You must not have heard that the Navy is going to have a big operation!" The East China Sea Branch is preparing to deploy troops in Rogue Town, where they want to capture the Straw Hat Pirates and eliminate Luffy and his gang. β
Roy was surprised: "How did you know Luffy was coming?" β
Skaru said: "I heard that it was news from the Navy Headquarters, and Luffy and his gang probably want to enter the Great Voyage." You know, there's no pirate who doesn't want to go on the Great Voyage. Hehe, it looks like their dreams are coming to an end! β
Roy didn't know what to say, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You're so confident!" β
Scaru: "With Colonel Smoker, and so many of our bounty hunters, even if he is a sea thief of 30 million Bailey, he will definitely be killed by us!" How's that, Roy, I know you're not a coward, are you interested in having a vote? β
"Okay, call me when you act!"
"After the deed is completed, no matter who catches Luffy, the bounty will be scored, you know the rules, right?"
"No problem."
Scarlu nodded and returned to the crowd, continuing to tie in the relationship.
Roy sat in his chair, silent.
At this moment, most of these bounty hunters gathered in the bar have hunted and killed pirates with bounties of more than 5 million Baileys, and some have even beheaded pirates with bounties of more than 10 million Baileys, and those few who are not recognized have long been excluded.
To be honest, in the East China Sea, where an average bounty of 3 million Baileys is offered, these people are already considered strong in the ordinary sense, and they are also masters and seniors among bounty hunters.
No wonder so confident.
But these people don't know who they're facing.
That's the main character!!
"Huh."
After a few moments, he chuckled and left the bar for the Navy branch in Rogue Town.
"Mr. Roy, are you receiving a bounty?"
"Not bad."
Roy nodded: "I dealt with the 5 million Bailey's Shark Pirates a few days ago, but their ship sank, but there are witnesses." β
"We have a record, the bounty is ready, please follow me."
A young navy laughed and said, "By the way, Mr. Roy really doesn't have the idea of joining the navy?" You are so young, if you join the navy, your future is limitless, and you may be able to become a rear admiral in the future...... That's the dream of countless people. β
Roy said, "Including you?" β
"Of course."
With longing in his eyes, the young navy clenched his fists and said: "I joined the navy to uphold justice, those hateful pirates continue to disturb the order of the sea, if they are allowed to develop, they will definitely break the hard-won world peace, as a navy, we must suppress the arrogance of the pirates." β
Roy: "I'll consider it if necessary. β
"I'm looking forward to that day."
"By the way, I heard that the navy is deploying to capture the 30 million Bailey bounty of MonchiΒ· D. Luffy? β
"Yes."
The young navy nodded and said with a smile: "If Mr. Roy is interested in this matter, you can join us." β
"I'm interested."
Roy chuckled, a twinkle in his eyes.
Although through the support of the system and his own unremitting efforts, he became a well-known bounty hunter in Rogue Town in a short period of time, but as the young navy said, this only represents his present, and his future will never stop there.
γDingγ
[The system releases a mandatory mission - detecting the host's fighting spirit, Luffy is about to come to Rogue Town, ask the host to have a duel with Luffy, win or lose]
[Rewards: Sword Skill "Tornado", Strength +5, Speed +5, Experience +100]
[Quest Punishment: All Attributes Reduced by Half]
Roy frowned slightly, and quickly stretched his brow.
It's not a difficult task, and it's extremely rewarding.
However, it includes "win or lose". In other words, as long as he has fought Luffy, he will complete the mission.
"Win or lose......"
Roy is familiar with the urine nature of the system, but if he can detect another chance of his victory, there will be no "win or lose".
He pondered, "Meaning, I'm not Luffy's opponent no matter what?" β
It's been almost a year since the crossing.
As for the system that he carried with him, Roy basically figured out how to use it by groping.
You can call it - the task system.
It is divided into three categories: daily tasks, random tasks, and mandatory tasks.
The first two are relatively low in difficulty and have no mission penalties, but compared to the latter, the mission rewards are much lower.
Quest rewards are usually XP, physical stat boosts, and skills.
In almost a year, the system has only issued 3 mandatory tasks.
Although it was all done and he was richly rewarded, it was not surprising that Roy was tortured to death every time, and in the most exaggerated case, he almost died.
For the first time, he decided to change his fate and learn swordsmanship.
The mandatory task required him to get started in one day, and he almost didn't practice himself, and in the end, the owner of the weapon shop couldn't see it, and under his guidance, he barely got started.
The second time, he became a master of swordsmanship and decided to become a bounty hunter and improve his living environment.
The mandate requires him to hunt down a pirate with a bounty of more than 500,000 Bailey within three days. Roy racked his brains and finally found Duddy, and with his help and guidance, he became a qualified bounty hunter.
The third time, he faced a pirate with a bounty of 10 million Bailey.
He wasn't going to act recklessly, but he had to kill the pirate...... Helplessly, he tried his best, and finally killed the other party with serious injuries.
This time, it is not only the third mandatory mission, but also the battle for his fame.
After killing the 10 million Bailey bounty of the pirate, Roy's reputation finally spread out of Rogue Town, which is well-known in the East China Sea, and is often invited by the towns of the surrounding islands to help expel the pirates.
The mission regarding Luffy is the fourth mandatory mission, and it doesn't seem that difficult.
Quest Rewards...... And unexpectedly rich.
"I really want to see how much worse I am than the protagonist......"
Roy's eyes lit up with war, and he tightened the knife in his hand.
β¦β¦
Leave the naval branch.
Roy arrives at the underground casino in Rogue and meets a man with a grass-green cockscomb head and a short knife at his waist.
At this time, the vicious-looking cockscomb head was violent, kicking down a lewd man, so that it was crazy and flattened.
The other party was beaten and trembled but did not dare to resist, allowing the cockscomb to add fists and feet.
"Dare to make a thousand people in my territory, you don't want to live anymore? Who sent you to make trouble...... What, you don't know this is my territory? The past 100 or so streets here are my territory, remember? Don't let me see you again, or I'll pick your skin!! β
After speaking, the cockscomb head snorted, his eyes slanted, and the lewd man's heart trembled again.
"Don't leave yet, get out!!"
The cockscomb roared.
The lewd man hurriedly got up and ran away.
"Boss!"
At this time, his men came to his side.
"What?"
The cockscomb tilted its head, moved its eyes, and looked careless, looking domineering.
"Brother Roy is here, and he said he needs your help."
