Chapter 0.52: Chance Encounter
"Your Excellency, take a closer look."
Morgan quietly put Kleek's wanted notice on the table, perfectly hiding the trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, a dead man's head couldn't scare the mouse, at first he was only startled by the sudden sight of the human head, and when he came back to his senses and looked at the human head carefully, his face involuntarily began to change.
"It's Cric the Sea Thief!"
The rat screamed, the East China Sea has been recognized as the weakest sea in recent decades, and this is a well-known thing to everyone.
Even if there was a big name like One Piece Gore D Roger ten years ago, it can't change people's impression of it.
The 10 million bounty here is considered to be a sea thief on the dominant side, and the bounty of 20 million Bailey is almost the ceiling of the bounty amount in the East China Sea!
"Yes, my lord, you are very discerning."
"What? If you're here to collect the bounty, I'm not in charge of these chores, just go to the reception room. ”
"No, my lord, this head is a gift to you, we rough people are only brave, but if we want to sail on the wide sea, we always need a strong backer like you."
"There's some truth to what you're saying, hee-hee-hee."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"My lord, you're really joking, it's just a simple gift, how dare you ask for it again?"
As he spoke, Morgan leaned close to the mouse's ear and whispered, and from time to time, the mouse nodded appreciatively.
Coming out of the 16th branch of the Navy, Morgan took five stacks of banknotes with a face value of 10,000 Bailey and threw them to Gawain.
"One of our Krick's heads, one of Baru's, and a large box of treasure worth fifteen million Bailey, have been exchanged for such a little?"
Gao Wen was a little distressed, just this way, the food and manpower consumed on the way are worth millions of Baileys, such a big loss is actually exchanged for this little thing, I really don't know what to try.
Morgan showed off a golden ID that said Bounty Hunter Legal.
"This thing is much more valuable than those things, with this we can legally enter and exit any kingdom in the East China Sea at will, and we can also become a kingdom mercenary, and we have the right to kill pirates first, we are genuine!"
Gao Wen's eyes lit up, and the result was legal, and he groped carefully.
Does this thing really have the same effect as Morgan said?
"Of course, one of the few legal bounty groups in the entire East China Sea, similar to the existence of naval assistants, do you think it's so easy to take?" As if to see Gawain's thoughts, Morgan said again.
"Then we can go back to Goa? Can you go in in grandiose? ”
"Of course, but now is not the time to go, and I will make those people kneel before me and beg me to go back."
The fleet had been sailing for almost a month, and there was not much food left.
Morgan looked at the nautical charts and looked at the nearby islands.
The nearest is a village called Cocosia.
Morgan had some impressions of it, and it was occupied by Aaron's gang in the original book, and it was a poor village rich in oranges.
It is also the second home of Nami in the Luffy Pirates, and when they went to sea, the Aaron Pirates and the rats who had become colonels had already occupied them for ten years.
Extrapolating from the time, Ah Long's gang will not arrive in two years, and now it is a peaceful village.
So be it, Morgan then took out his marker pen and made a mark on the tiny island.
People at sea are always very short of vitamins, and it is always good to buy more citrus fruits to prepare, and by the way, to sell their own "property protection" business, thinking of the experience of these villagers in two years, they will definitely feel that the price is good and cheap, and they will be grateful.
Under Morgan's command, Ollander skillfully steered the rudder towards the village of Cocoia.
As he was about to leave the radius of the Sixteenth Naval Branch, Morgan saw a huge warship pass by his fleet.
As far as the eye could see, there was a teenager standing on the big boat, who looked a few years younger than the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Gawain.
With his hands clasped around his chest, his face was looking straight ahead, his eyes cold and unforgiving.
It seemed to have noticed Morgan's gaze in the cabin, and the other party naturally looked over to this side, and the two looked at each other, and Morgan hurriedly lowered his head.
What a monster this is!
The face that looks immature enough, but the breath that gives people is so powerful.
Morgan could feel goosebumps rise all over his body, but fortunately they were not pirates, and the two sides did not intersect, otherwise Morgan was sure that he would not have the slightest chance of winning if he fought the boy.
This gap in strength is not observed with the naked eye.
It's a difference in breath, just like a Shiba dog when he sees a male lion, as long as he smells the smell of the other party, he will tremble with his tail between his legs.
Morgan felt completely suppressed at this point!
"The navy is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger...... Morgan sighed lightly, smiled helplessly, and ordered Outlander to speed up the voyage and leave as soon as possible.
On another huge warship, a young man with pink-purple hair and a confident body asked the young man, "What did you just see?" ”
"I seem to have found a very interesting person."
Rob Lucci rarely hooked the corners of his mouth, and after entering the naval branch, he wanted to find out the background of the people in the other team.
Obviously, he was just a young man who looked like he was twenty years old, but he had an old and cunning look, and he caught from that person's eyes a special temperament that was more solemn and cold than that of a soldier.
This is not something that ordinary sailors can have, only after battlefield battles, countless life-and-death struggles, and extreme escape can they exercise the breath of being unapproachable.
Morgan had a faint premonition in his heart, what was such a monster doing here in the weakest place in the East China Sea?
Is it because of me, the slave of the Draconians?
Then Morgan smiled and shook his head, blaming himself for being a little too cautious.
Although the man named Doflamingo had given a warning, he had never seen himself at all, and if anyone came to investigate, Pandora, a woman, would not have been able to find out.
But what else in the East China Sea is worth a shot from someone like that?
After thinking about it, Morgan was still a little uneasy, and silently deduced Goya's plan to steal the country in his heart, assuming that if this naval warship docked over, what would be done at that time.
Even after calculating the results, he was not satisfied, and after temporarily handing over the navigation command to Gawain's agent, Morgan returned to his bedroom.
He felt that there was a bit of a fuss, the East China Sea was so big, there shouldn't be such a coincidence.
Just as he was hesitating and depressed, he suddenly heard a loud explosion outside the ship!
The alarm on the Endeavour was sounded, and Morgan put on his coat and rushed quickly.
Standing on the deck, a crew member was very courier on the monoculars.
In the distance, Morgan saw a large round group of pirates heading towards him.
The shape of the pirate group is very strange, the whole hull is like a huge sea circus, and the bow of the ship is carved with a clown-like person.
The tip of his nose is particularly striking, red and red, which is easy to remember at a glance.
"Circus, clown, red-nosed."
"Is that the person?"
"Bucky the Clown?" Morgan hesitated, but when he saw through his glasses that the man in the three-cornered hat and pirate cloak was crossing his hands on his hips, watching the shell hit the hull with a swagger.
The power of this shell was quite large, and it directly blew up half of one of Krick's warships!
This is supposed to be a special bucky bomb.
I didn't expect him to appear on the route to Cocosia Village.
Morgen wanted to go to him or the Chef Pirates, but he happened to run into him here, so he couldn't let you go!
The power of the Devil Fruit, the sea is your weakness, and no matter how powerful the firepower is, it is only the case.
Eyelander winked, and the other party had an expression of second understanding, and jumped down from the bow of the boat with his arms outstretched.
On the opposite side is a special circular piercing ship, which will take at least half an hour to smash it from the bottom of the ship and sink it completely.
Don't be defeated by the Bucky Pirates in this half hour.
"Fire at the opposing pirate ship with all your might!"
At the sound of an order, eight artillery pieces fired a salvo, and round black shells rushed towards the opposing ships wrapped in white smoke.
Morgan jumped into the helm room and took the helm himself.
The other side cannot be allowed to catch up, and if the two sides develop into a broadside battle, it will be meaningless to destroy the other party's ships.
At that time, with Bucky's elusive ability, Morgan was not sure of winning all.
"Gawain, if there is a zipline coming over and cut it immediately, the others will prepare grenades and Molotov cocktails!"
Morgan did not panic in the slightest, but fortunately, the crew had experienced a big battle before, and this time the cooperation was even more intimate.
When the ships of the two sides were only thirty meters apart, all the grenades and Molotov cocktails that had been prepared in advance were thrown.
One by one, the hooks and locks flew in, and Gawain cut them off as soon as possible.
But the crew of the other party was no less than Morgan's, all of them were fierce and experienced, much better than those miscellaneous fish of Krik.
Gawain was already stretched thin, and a hook lock was in the air before it was hung on the side of the ship, and a black dot suddenly jumped out of the air!
He glided on the flying lock at great speed, and his body was so light that he didn't even press the rope, so he wanted to cross over!
"Acrobatics, tightrope walking!"
The black dot was getting closer and closer, and everyone could finally see clearly, he was riding a wheelbarrow, and his black hair was dripping with oil, covering one of his right eyes, and he looked like an unmainstream.
Gawain pulled out the frost fire, raised his head and slashed with a knife.
The man was riding a wheelbarrow and came from Gawain's great sword, and the wheel almost hit his head!
Morgan knew at a glance that a master was coming, and immediately came over and shouted: "Don't think about anything else, he handed it over to you with a sword, and I will solve the other people who want to get on the boat!" ”
"Good!" Gawain nodded, and the frost fire in his hand aimed at the other party vigilantly.
