Chapter 12: The Prey Appears

Three days later.

Chur Sea.

A small boat rises and falls with the waves, and it is said to be a small boat, but in fact it also has two decks, one for food and fresh water, one for living, and the first for living has two rooms for three or four crew members.

"Looks like there could be a storm."

Rhodes stood on the deck, looking up at the sky, the nautical mastery pointed out in the talent of the life department is a real mastery level, even if it is not as good as a navigator like Nami, who has a terrifying talent and the aura of the protagonist, it will not be too bad.

Otherwise, Rhodes would go out to sea alone in a small boat every day to hunt pirates, and he would have been swept away by a storm and didn't know where he had gone.

With his current strength, it would be too difficult to protect a small ship in a storm.

"Robin, hang the sails, paddle, get out of here first."

"Okay."

Robin looked at the weather and was a little worried, hearing Rhodes's paper drawing, she put her arms together in front of her, and the power of Huahua and Fruit was activated, and arms immediately appeared on the mast, lowering the sail.

At the same time, the six oars placed on the side of the boat also had many extra arms, and they held the oars and paddled vigorously.

This Devil Fruit ability is really handy in some ways, and pulling Robin on board is obviously a completely correct decision.

Very competent.

One person can stand up to a group of people.

Rhodes couldn't be more satisfied with her assessment, and if she wasn't defined as a cadre, it didn't seem to need any handyman crew.

Whoa!

Under Robin's actions, the sails blown by the sea breeze and the six oars that paddled at high speed, the boat sailed quickly on the sea.

Rhodes was not idle, he took the helm while continuing to observe the celestial phenomena, and with the skills of true nautical mastery, he quickly got out of the danger zone.

"To escape the storm, we've gone deep into the Chur Sea, which has seven small islands and two medium-sized islands, the closest of which is about two hours away."

Rhodes looked at the charts and compass tools and judged where he was.

According to the information I got from Robin, this Flo pirate group was six days ago and haunted this sea area, and the pirates generally do not stay on an island for a long time, because it will be a big trouble once they provoke the navy to encircle and suppress them.

"The Flo Pirates appeared in the Chur Sea to replenish fresh water and food on the island of Dire, and according to the style of this pirate group, it is possible that they will plunder an island in this sea area before leaving."

Robin recalls all the intelligence about the Flo Pirates.

"Then go to the nearest island first."

Rhodes made a decision.

He hunted pirates before, and after getting information from Robin, he went directly to the sea to find them, and he was very lucky during that time, going to sea eight times and encountering five times.

"Captain, you have now been rewarded with 40 million Bailey, and your reputation has spread in the West Sea, you need to pay attention to your identity, if you expose it, it may cause a lot of movement."

"There's no need to be so troublesome, there is only a small naval branch nearby, there is no branch base, and by the time they react, we will not be here for a long time."

Rhodes shrugged.

Although Robin is calm enough, she has not completely come out of the life of fugitive and hiding, and although her bounty is as high as 79 million Bailey, her actual combat power is not as good as that of a pirate with a bounty of 20 million Bailey.

Hearing Rhodes's words, Robin was slightly stunned, and also realized that his thoughts were somewhat unnecessary, Rhodes had rushed into the naval base single-handedly, killed the division colonel, and then rushed out unharmed.

It feels good not to hide and hide.

Soon.

Rhodes and Robin arrived at the nearest island, where they did not receive any information about the Flo Pirates, and sailed to the next island.

The second island is home to the underworld, and Rhodes and Robin, both of whom have been in the underworld for a long time, quickly find the information they need.

"Half a day ago, the Flo Pirates plundered Mokol Island."

"After they plundered Mokol Island, the naval division will definitely send warships to chase after them, judging by the route, they will definitely not take this and this ......"

Rhodes and Robin analyzed for a while, quickly planned a course of action, and after leaving the island, they chased after them along the established course of action.

Why can't the Navy end the era of pirates?

There are a large number of pirates, and the uneven strength is one reason, and the other reason is that the pursuit at sea is too troublesome, and many times as long as the pirates leave the island quickly, the late navy will be like looking for a needle in a haystack if they want to chase it.

And the analysis and tracking of Rhodes and Robin also need to bet on a probability, a total of two routes, depending on which one the Flo Pirates choose.

On deck.

Rhodes holds a telescope and looks around the sea, while Robin stands next to Rhodes with nearby charts in his hands.

"The route with a seventy percent probability, compared with the route with a thirty percent probability, the probability is indeed much greater, and the route you and I analyzed is indeed correct."

Rhodes took the telescope and looked at it for a while, then suddenly paused, looked in one direction for a moment, and handed the telescope to Robin.

Robin picked up the binoculars and looked in the same direction for half a minute, then put down the binoculars and said, "I need to get closer and confirm." ”

"Hmm."

Rhodes nodded, and steered the boat in the direction of the target.

As the distance approached, the dark shadow in that direction gradually became clearer, and the entire ship could be clearly seen through the telescope, as well as the logo on the canvas on which the ship was hung.

It was the symbol of a skull with one eye covered, and it was none other than the Flo Pirates.

"The prey has finally appeared."

Rhodes confirmed his target and whispered quietly.

The talent proficiency gained by hunting pirates has a rough distribution range according to the bounty amount, which was discovered by Rhodes in his research talent system.

For pirates of the same level, hunting the first one can gain a large amount of talent proficiency, but hunting the second one, the proficiency will be halved, and hunting the third one will be halved.

In other words, pirates with a bounty of 20 million Baileys can get the maximum value by hunting two or three, and any more is a waste of time.

Moreover.

The first time you hunt a pirate with a bounty in a certain range, it seems that you will definitely get a little free talent point, and the second and third time you will get it probly.

"If you can get free talent points in this hunt, it means that my judgment is right." Rhodes whispered in his heart.

A few months ago, he had hunted four or five pirates with bounties of seven or eight million Baileys in a row, and the benefit was to keep halving, so he shifted his target to the 10 million pirates, and increased higher and higher.

For him, if he wants to keep getting stronger, he needs to keep hunting pirates.

20 million, 30 million, 50 million, 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, and the ultimate goal is undoubtedly ...... Four Emperors!
