Chapter 157: Forming a Pirate Group (Part II)
Hearing this, everyone on the ship burst into laughter.
Ian too, he thought of one of the supernovas that would appear in the future, X. Drake, who was originally a rear admiral, but I don't know why, but in the end, he also became a pirate, indeed, in such a comparison, the identity of a pirate hunter is a fart!
"Captain!" Doruni scratched his head innocently, handed over a bounty and said, "You are now, but you are a sea thief!" ”
This bounty list, Ian naturally saw it, it was left by Jinping, not only him, but now the entire ship has seen it.
I don't know why, when everyone saw this bounty list, there was a faint sense of pride in their hearts.
The man up there, but our captain! 500 million-level sea thief!
Now that he is a member of the pirate group, the idea of comparing the bounty amount among pirates has also been planted in the hearts of everyone, even Ian, when he took this bounty list, he couldn't help but think, this is his worth!
Just like those big stars, Ian is also worth it now, and this feeling is really not too cool.
The amount of the bounty represents the world government's recognition of the importance it attaches to itself and the degree of threat, and the most rare thing is that Ian's bounty amount is not caused by evil at all.
Sometimes Ian thinks that in fact, the Celestial Dragon people are also good people, not only sending money to themselves to send Devil Fruits, but also to fame, and maybe to give status in the future, what kind of spirit is this...... The white-bearded old man in the fantasy is not as dedicated as them, right?
"Is there anyone else with a bounty besides me?" Ian asked them.
A big man raised his hand and said, "Captain, I used to have a bounty of fourteen million!" ”
"Me too, I have a bounty of 11 million!" Someone else raised his hand.
I don't know, I was shocked when I asked, in addition to Ian, there are many bounties on their ship, although the amount is not high, the lowest one is only three million bounty, but there are not many people.
And the tallest one turned out to be Saldin! He had a bounty of 60 million.
After Ian questioned in detail, he learned that most of the giant warriors from Elbaf like Sardin made a living as pirates, and a few would go to serve as mercenaries or join the navy.
There are many giants in the navy, and the military ranks are generally very high, this is because the giants are born warrior races, as long as they become adults, they will have strong combat effectiveness, the navy attaches great importance to them, and those who can pull into the army to serve, the military ranks are generally higher, and the same, for the pirates of the giant clan, the bounty is also high.
It's ridiculous that a warrior like Sardin would be taken as a slave for the sake of a large wine barrel...... Or the people of the Giant Clan, they are all big barrels, and when he landed on Chambord Island, he was drunk by human traffickers and tied up and sold.
The people of the Giant Clan, in addition to their fighting talents, are actually quite simple, probably because they have great strength, not many people can hurt them, and they have very little guard against others.
As soon as the statistics were made, Ian couldn't help but be a little smacked, their pirate group, the total bounty amount, was as high as 670 million!
"Do any of you have Devil Fruit powers?" Ian asked.
This question made everyone look at each other, look left and right, but find that no one has come forward.
This surprised Ian, he originally thought that so many people with bounties should have Devil Fruit abilities, right, but who knew that there were no ones?
It's no wonder that Ian wants to ask this, Devil Fruit is a thing like a bug and a plug-in in this world, ordinary people or have great strength, they can fight and fight, but as long as they don't know how to use domineering, they are scum, and on the contrary, a Devil Fruit ability, even if he is thin and weak, can stand out in an instant the moment he obtains the Devil Fruit ability.
Ian asked if he had the ability, he wanted to take the opportunity to build the skeleton of the cadres of the pirate group, and a pirate group needed some elite people to lead the battle as the main force no matter what.
Looking at it now, it was a bit unexpected for him.
Although Saldin's combat effectiveness is good, and they can also be regarded as cadres, Yi Anzhong still feels a little regretful.
"Wait, I think there's a Devil Fruit powerhouse!" A voice suddenly came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads to look, but found that it was Margaret, she was in high spirits at this time, and stuck out her tongue to everyone: "It's true, it's that Matthew, but it seems that even he doesn't know much about his own abilities!" ”
"Matthew? I think I've heard the name before......" Ian pondered.
"Captain, you forgot?" Margaret glared and said, "That's the chef who cooked your food!" ”
Ian was stunned for a moment, then remembered it, and said in surprise: "He's a chef?" ”
"That's right!" Margaret said, "Why don't I call him and ask him yourself?" ”
Ian nodded quickly, and it didn't take long for Margaret to bring the chef named Matthew.
As soon as he appeared, Ian stared at this Matthew and began to look at it, and found that this person was very distinctive, he had long blonde hair, and he had a braid combed at the back of his head, the braid was crooked to one side, hanging down the shoulders of his white chef's clothes, and he looked very handsome.
But he's a dead fish's eye!
This guy's eyes were a little dull, without energy, and there were two big dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been sleeping for a long time, and after being brought up, he said in a slow tone: "Boat...... Long ......, you ...... Look for...... I...... Yes...... Affair...... Is it? ”
Not to mention Ian, even the others couldn't help but get goosebumps after listening to the tone of this guy's voice, and that kind of slow tone made people want to drag him over and beat him, and then let him finish the sentence quickly.
Ian asked him, "Are you a Devil Fruit Ability?" ”
"I ...... Also...... No...... Know...... ......"Matthew is in that slow tone again.
Ian listened to his words, only to feel that his teeth were sore and tight, such a tone was simply torture for those who listened to him.
He had to ask Margaret, "Is he really a capable person?" ”
Margaret nodded, "I can be sure, because when I came into contact with him, I found that anyone would fall asleep inexplicably as soon as they touched him!" ”
"Oh!?" Ian suddenly came to his senses and said, "Matthew, I'll take a look if you touch someone else!" ”
"Good...... Target...... Boat...... Long! Matthew didn't object, and slowly stretched out his hand and touched a big man next to him.
Ian clearly saw that after the big man was touched by Matthew, his eyelids suddenly began to droop, and then he quickly couldn't hold back anymore, and he fell to the deck with a thud, and then fell asleep.
Sleep in seconds!?
The people on the boat were suddenly frightened, and hurried away from Matthew, for fear of being accidentally touched by him.
He ...... How...... What...... Sleep...... Make move...... Finish? Matthew's dead fish eyes asked curiously.
"Didn't you realize it yourself?" Ian asked him a little strangely, such an ability is definitely a devil fruit!
And it may be a superhuman line like a hypnotic fruit!
It's just that in the face of Ian's inquiry, the tone of Matthew's reply was too anxious, Ian endured the feeling of wanting to beat people, and finally asked the ins and outs of Matthew's guy.
What Ian didn't expect was that this Matthew turned out to be a court chef from the West Sea, and he was extremely famous, he was originally a chef for the royal family of his country, but two years ago, his king got a Devil Fruit by luck and wanted to eat it to get the Devil Fruit ability, but this pampered king didn't know where he heard that the Devil Fruit tasted like poop, so he was a little hesitant.
Eventually, the king approached Matthew and told him to find a way to cook the Devil Fruit and make it taste better.
Matthew did so, peeling the Devil Fruit, marinating it in cream and honey, and making it into a fruit pudding to be sent to his king.
The taste did change, but the strange thing was that after the king ate it, he didn't even gain the Devil Fruit ability.
The king was furious, thinking that Matthew had deceived him and replaced the Devil Fruit, so he sent him to prison, and then because he was famous for his cooking, the prison officials sold him to slave traders, and finally passed him to the Draconians.
Matthew said in a slow tone as he rubbed his tears, he was very aggrieved because he didn't have a Devil Fruit at all, and he hadn't replaced it.
Ian looked at him speechlessly, and finally arrived: "You must have tasted it yourself after making the finished product, right?" ”
Matthew raised his head, the dead fish's eyes did not change, but he said in a surprised tone: "Boat...... Long...... You...... How...... What...... Know...... Road...... I...... Taste...... Finish...... One...... Mouth...... Target? ”
"Stop!" Ian couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped his inquiry, but he also figured out the origin of Matthew's Devil Fruit ability.
Chefs try their own dishes first, and there's nothing wrong with that, but ...... It's not the same if you're cooking with Devil Fruits......
In this case, your king really doesn't blame you......
After pulling Matthew and studying his Devil Fruit ability, Ian also knew something about it.
This fruit can be called the Sleeping Fruit, the Sleepy Insect Fruit or the Hypnotic Fruit, and Matthew's ability is to force the living creatures he touches with his hands to fall asleep for ten minutes!
This ability can be very frustrating, because it must be touched by Matthew's hands, and Matthew himself is a chef and does not have much combat power......
Moreover, this kind of forced sleep can be driven away by pain, such as after Matthew touches someone, someone next to him can relieve this sleepiness by stabbing or punching the person who is going to sleep.
However, it is equally okay to say that he is strong.
Ian guessed that if Matthew could use his domineering energy to touch the entities of the natural system, then even if the three admirals of the Pheasant Yellow Ape and the Red Inu were able to make them fall asleep instantly! Quite against the sky.
Anyway, with the addition of Matthew's ability, Ian's mood is finally better.
After getting to know the members of the group, the remaining question is to decide on the name and flag of the pirates.
