Chapter 6: The Capone Family
"Good."
Tren showed a smile, turned his head to look at Nico Robin next to him, and said, "The inside information of Tarot Town, it hasn't been burned yet, just give it to him." ”
Sixteen-year-old Nicole Robin nodded, flipped through her little hands a few times, and quickly pulled out two notes, walked up to Rhodes, and handed them over.
"Two pieces of information, no encryption."
Rhodes took the two notes from Robin's hands and took them to his eyes.
Robin handed over the note, and quietly returned to his place, continuing to sort out and memorize the mess of information.
If Rhodes had to choose one of the people he had come into contact with so far to be his deputy, he would definitely choose Nicole Robin.
Although she is much more immature than in the original book, she was offered a reward of 79 million Bailey at the age of eight, but she has been able to survive in the underground world of the West Sea to this day, and her ability is almost indisputable.
If you want to form a gang, in addition to her, Trafalgaro and the others have also thought about it carefully, they are all thoughtful, and their style of action is very in line with his style.
But.
These are the things that Rhodes will think about carefully when he really plans to be a pirate, and he doesn't plan to become a pirate for some reason.
It's not his black cauldron, why should he carry it, since the navy is a bunch of fools, then it's up to him to find out the person who threw the pot, and then hammer it to death!
There weren't many words on the slip of paper.
After reading it, Rhodes's brows furrowed slightly, and he pinched the note to show a look of thought, thinking that it was something done by a certain group of pirates, which made him carry the black cauldron, but he didn't expect that it was not the pirates involved, but the underground gangster forces in the West Sea.
"Capone...... Is it the gangster family of Cappenbergi, one of the supernovas in the original book? ”
Rhodes groaned for a moment, his face gradually turning cold.
No matter what the force is, after doing something, he threw the black cauldron to him, thinking that he could sit back and relax, then he was very wrong!
"I need intelligence on the Capone family in this area."
Rhodes looked up at Tren, who had stood up at some point.
Tren flicked the ash of his cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "I know what information you want, so that's the price." ”
"No problem."
After Rhodes nodded, Tren looked at Robin to the side.
"Yes."
Robin nodded, walked over to Rhodes, and after making a slight eye contact with Rhodes, he whispered the information Rhodes needed.
Rhodes jotted down the information, took a few stacks of money from his backpack and tossed them to Tren, then turned to leave.
“……”
Robin's gaze lingered on Rhodes' back for a few seconds, then returned to the stack of intelligence documents on the table.
Leaving the inner hall, Rhodes strode out of the underground base under the different looks of the many pirate hunters in the outer hall.
To Rhodes' surprise, he had just come out of the depths of the alleyway when he was confronted by a patrol of navies.
"Ghost Hand Rhodes is here!"
Someone yelled, and immediately several firebolts were aimed at Rhodes, and they opened fire with a thud.
Rhodes doesn't know the iron of the Navy Type 6, and he doesn't have the domineering power of the armed color, even if it is an ordinary firecracker, it can cause him a certain amount of lethality.
"Annoying!"
Rhodes stepped on his feet and flashed into the alleyway opposite.
He was really annoyed by this group of navies who were in hot pursuit, and he had the idea of destroying all of them, but he still pressed it down.
Sou!
Rhodes was running quickly in the alleyway, and suddenly a figure dressed in the great armor of naval justice followed at the same extremely fast speed.
"Ghost Hand Rhodes! Hurry up and get caught! ”
"You can't escape!"
That man was a lieutenant colonel at a nearby naval base, who had arrested pirates with a bounty of 18 million Bailey, and he would also use the Navy Six Style Shaving!
"Can you even use shaving?"
Rhodes glanced at the lieutenant colonel who was chasing after him out of the corner of his eye, with the same rank, different regions, and great differences in strength.
The lieutenant commander of the Navy in the East China Sea may not be able to beat the pirates of 10 million Bailey, but the Lieutenant Commander of the Great Voyage has many Devil Fruit abilities, and as for the Lieutenant Commander of the New World, he can even use the Armed Color Domineering!
"Let's get caught!"
After chasing down a street, the lieutenant commander roared violently, stepped on his feet, and rushed to Rhodes' back, punching him violently.
Rhodes spun around impatiently and met him with a punch.
"I still have things to do, I don't have time to toss with your navy, get out!"
Bang!
The two fists collided, and the lieutenant colonel's strength was still a little weaker than Rhodes's, and his whole arm was numb, and he staggered back two steps.
Rhodes spread his hands and skimmed over the wall on the side of the alleyway, which twisted and collapsed and slammed into the lieutenant colonel's face.
Seeing this, the lieutenant colonel's pupils shrank slightly, and by the time he rushed out of the crumbling wall, Rhodes' figure had disappeared.
"Sure enough, it's a devil fruit power, it twists the wall, no wonder it's called a ghost hand......"
The lieutenant colonel looked at the twisted and crumbling wall, thinking of the punch he had just fought with Rhodes, a trace of cold sweat overflowed on his forehead, and he was faintly afraid in his heart.
……
Even though the Navy had set up a tight pursuit circle on the island, and the bombardment of artillery fire made Rhodes a little embarrassed, he still rushed out with the Navy Six-style shaving.
His own ship was gone, so he directly requisitioned a small boat, and after throwing down hundreds of thousands of Baileys, he left the island by boat.
Robin recounted to him the detailed information about the Capone gang in this area, specific to the location of the base built by the Capone family in this area.
Haig Island.
The island wasn't that far from where Rhodes was, about two days away, and Rhodes had been to the island when he hunted pirates before, so he was no stranger to it.
sailed all the way on the sea, and was no longer pursued by the navy, obviously even the navy, in the vast sea, it was impossible to casually lock the location of Rhodes and chase it over.
If it really can reach that level, then the pirates in this world will not be able to flood at all.
But.
Something happened during the voyage that made Rhodes unpleasant.
It was a news bird that flew through the sky to deliver newspapers, flew to his ship, and he bought a newspaper casually, only to find a bounty of his own in the newspaper.
"Is there a bounty of 22 million Bailey? It's really fast. ”
Rhodes has been hunting pirates everywhere during this time, often with a bounty list in his hand, and now he has a bounty list of his own, which feels very bad.
Being wanted by the Navy with a bounty and being hunted all over the sea was a particularly annoying thing in Rhodes's eyes, so he never wanted this situation to happen.
And.
There is a more serious question, in the current situation, even if he overthrows the Capone gang and throws the truth to the Navy, can the Navy remove the bounty order?
Thinking of this, Rhodes's face gradually became gloomy.
He finally took a deep breath.
In any case, he had to go to Haig Town, and letting him fall into such a troublesome situation had already touched the bottom line that he couldn't bear.
