Chapter 69: A bounty of 500 million

"One Knife Stream, Ichiho!"

Exhausted by his stamina, Kuzan's movements were delayed by a step, and the blade sliced through the remaining icicles, slicing open his armor-colored chest, leaving a horrific wound. Blood trickled down the ice, and Kuzan fell to the ground in shock. The long wound on his chest was bone-on, and the blood was frozen by the cold, and although there was not much blood left, he was also so badly injured that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Duke retracted his armament, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and almost fainted and fell to the ground, his chest heaving violently, gasping for cold air. After resting for a long time, he stopped his dizziness, slowly stood up with Huazhou, staggered to Kuzan, and pointed to the sword and poked him a few times, and bandaged it briefly by the way, stopping the deterioration of the injury.

Kuzan snorted, his eyelids half-open and half-closed, and he was about to fall asleep at any time: "Don't you kill me?" ”

"If you die, I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future...... Besides, I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat diseases and save people. Duke still has a lot of good feelings about this lazy general, not for anything else, just for the justice that the other party insists on. If Kuzan dies like this, the sea will lose too much regret.

"That's what you thought when you saved Fisher Tiger?" Kuzan tried to stand up, but his strength was exhausted, and he was involved in the injury, and he lay back with grinning teeth.

"Almost, if that kind of person dies, won't God be blind!" Duke muttered, sitting cross-legged on the ground to regain his strength.

"......" Kuzan was silent when he heard this, neither admitting nor denying it, pulled down the blindfold on his head, and fell asleep.

The enemy is still asleep, and Duke is also speechless for the highest combat power of the navy, looking at the devastated sea, he doesn't know where to go next. The battle is like this, and the Magnetic Drum Country can't go back, and I was thinking of going to the entrance of the Great Passage for the last stop to visit the ship doctor of One Piece Roger, but now it seems unlikely.

"At eight o'clock, about 20 nautical miles, there's a small sandbar where my boat is parked and you can leave on it." Kuzan, asleep, was talking in his sleep.

Duke looked at Kuzan in surprise, his blindfold covering half of his face, unable to tell what he was thinking.

"Generally speaking, don't you need to pay for a doctor?" Kuzan continued. Although he was defeated because Duke ignored the ability of the Frozen Fruit, a loss is a loss, and Kuzan still has this bit of energy. What's more, even he is no match for Duke, let alone the admirals who are rushing here. In this case, simply let the other party leave, so as not to cause unnecessary sacrifices.

"It's really an expensive medical fee, how can a ship be worth 50 million Bailey, and if you say that you will give it away, you won't blink your eyes. When I was in the navy, I was tired and tired, and I worked hard, and my monthly salary and bonus were only 100,000 Baileys. Sure enough, it was wise for me to choose to leave the Navy, you high-ranking people are too corrupt! But...... I'm so envious, I really want to live this kind of life where there is something to do as a secretary and nothing to do as a secretary......"

Kuzan had a black line on his face, listening to the chatter in his ear until it slowly disappeared in the direction of eight o'clock. Half a day later, as the sun set down, the navy found Kuzan on the floating iceberg.

"Lieutenant General Kuzan, are you alright......" A major general led by Kuzan looked at the knife wound on Kuzan's chest with a shocked face. I secretly said in my heart, what kind of monster can actually hurt Lieutenant General Kuzan like this?

It's no wonder that the Rear Admiral was so shocked, the battle between Duke and Kuzan, which almost wiped Drum Island off the map, dealt a devastating blow to this sea area, killing and wounding countless naval and civilian casualties. The price of this shocking battle was so high, and the end was unacceptable, and Kuzan was defeated.

You must know that Kuzan is not an ordinary vice admiral, he is a backup to the admiral, and the soon-to-be-appointed navy is the strongest. His defeat means that the highest combat effectiveness of the Navy is not invincible......

"Give me the phone bug in my headquarters, I have something important to report to the Marshal of the Warring States!" Kuzan said, as he was helped up.

"Yes!" The major general hurriedly took out the telex worm he was carrying with him and handed it over with both hands.

"I'm Lieutenant General Kuzan, help me connect with the Marshal of the Warring States ......" Kuzan immediately dialed the number of the contact headquarters and spoke directly to the Marshal Sengoku.

"I'm Sengoku!" The phone bug's face changed, with a braided beard and a round exploding head.

"Mr. Sengoku, I am here to report to you about the operation to capture former Navy Captain Duke on Magnetic Drum Island." Kuzan straightened his tone and said solemnly.

"How did it turn out, did you catch him?"

"The other party has left Drum Island, and I am seriously injured......"

The phone bug's eyes widened suddenly, and he said quickly, "Kuzan, now is not the time to laugh!" ”

"Mr. Sengoku, I'm not kidding. In fact, if it weren't for the mercy of the other party's subordinates and the healing of me, I would have died......" With Kuzan's words, Sengoku's expression on the phone became more and more solemn.

"How could it be...... What about the losses? ”

"The navy was almost completely wiped out, most of Drum Island was sunk, and countless civilians were affected...... "Kuzan described the dire situation in the briefest of terms.

On the other end of the "......" phone bug, Sengoku Sengoku was annoyed and regretted that he had not determined Duke's true combat power and sent Kuzan. The defeat of the admiral, the heavy casualties of the navy and civilians, and the sinking of Cigu Island were enough to deal a fatal blow to the deterrent power of the navy. One can imagine what the pirates will be crazy about when the news spreads.

"I have to bear the main responsibility for creating this irreparable situation, because ......"

Sengoku interrupted Kuzan's words, and said in a resolute tone: "You don't have to blame yourself, this is the responsibility for the incident, if it weren't for my eagerness, things wouldn't have come to this point...... Return to the headquarters as quickly as possible, I need you to explain it in detail and negotiate the amount of the bounty for 'Navy Traitor' Duke! The germ of sin cannot be stifled, and attention must be paid to him. ”

On the other side, Duke was in Kuzan's boat, drifting in the unknown sea. I have to say that the performance of Kuzan's special resort ship 'Blue Bird' is really not boasting. The hull is made of extremely strong wood, beautifully painted white, and the ship is extremely fast. The beautifully decorated captain's room is equipped with a desk, maps, and pointers. Although it was only a small ship, about the size of the Golden Merry, it was more than enough for a lone ranger like Duke.

Moreover, Kuzan prepared a lot of supplies on the ship, in addition to sufficient food and fresh water, there were many necessities of life. For example, eye patches, eye patches, and eye patches......

"Does this guy have a quirk for collecting blindfolds?" Duke couldn't complain powerlessly, after the battle with Kuzan, he also had a full understanding of his own strength, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of his time was to cultivate domineering.

The conditions that determine the level of domineering are nothing more than two points, one is qualification, and the other is hard work. The first one is not a problem, the three stinkers have also competed against Zhuge Liang, not to mention Duke, who has received a world bonus. The second one is even less of a problem, he knows better than anyone what hard work means, and only those who stand on tiptoe can get closer to the sun.

"Chirp-tweet-"

A rapid birdsong sounded, disturbing Duke, who was working on his armament, and when he looked up, he saw a news bird landing on the bow of the boat.

Duke handed over 100 Baileys and bought a newspaper, which the bird politely said hello and flew away. Speaking of the world of pirates, I have to mention all kinds of strange species, just like this news bird, if you don't give money, they won't patronize you in the future, it is a bird with a small heart.

It is said that an experienced news bird can also identify the authenticity of Bailey, and a newspaper costs 100 Bailey, and there is no counteroffer or credit.

"100 Bailey, I remember when Chopper was first rewarded, it was only 50 Bailey, which was worth half of the newspaper, and Nami bought one newspaper a day, which is equivalent to consuming two Chopper!"

"I'll take a look, what's the news today......"

Headlines on the front page: Shocked, the five old stars were stunned, the new general actually did such a thing! This newspaper exclusively risked his life to expose the secret news of the navy, the three vacant admirals have been determined, and the three new admirals are codenamed 'Red Dog', 'Green Pheasant', and 'Yellow Ape'. ”

"What the hell is this title!"

"There was a coup d'Γ©tat in the XX Kingdom, and it is suspected that the revolutionary army secretly instigated it...... The rebel army has been suppressed and the situation in the country has stabilized......"

"Hey, don't give any pot to the revolutionary army, that country has to pay taxes even for going to the toilet, and the uprising is a matter of time."

"The XX pirates were exterminated, and the sea pirates XX were imprisoned in the ...... of the advancing city"

"Oh, the city is about to bloom with a fresh daisy again."

Duke flipped through today's report, and in the vast sea, this is the only way to understand the world. On the last page, a lone bounty slip falls on the deck.

"Let me see which unlucky guy it is, the bounty list has been put in the newspaper and spread all over the sea, what kind of angry thing has this guy done? Can't you just keep a low profile like me? Duke smacked his lips, feeling the ignorance of the pirates, even if he was proud of the high bounty, there were even two goods who were desperately committing crimes in order to increase the bounty, and his IQ was really worrying. The higher the bounty, the greater the Navy's attention and the greater the intensity of the capture. Being chased by the Navy all day long, it hurts to think about it, what is there to be happy about?

Seeing the familiar face on the bounty list that he could see every time he looked in the mirror, Duke was dumbfounded: "Ouch, I'll go, this white idiot looks like me, and even has the same name...... Belch...... Isn't that me? ”

"'Navy traitor' Duke, the following charges are met. Rescue the government's culprit Fisher Tiger, assassinate Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and destroy Drum Island. The crime is so heinous that it doesn't matter if it lives or dies, and a bounty of 500,000,000 Baileys is offered. Note: This person is extremely dangerous! ”

A bounty slip with a note in the newspaper detailing Duke's guilt.

"The first bounty was 500 million Bailey, which is too exaggerated...... Is it because he defeated Kuzan? That's right, if the bounty is not high, the future general Pheasant will not be able to hang on his face. Aha......"

"Oh, that's not right! It's Kuzan who came to arrest me, when did it become me to attack him? And he also has a share of the destruction of Magnetic Drum Island, how can it all be thanks to me? In addition to treating Tiger, everything else is framed! ”

Duke was shocked by the Navy's shamelessness, and he knew that his laid-back days were about to be gone as this wanted notice circulated on the seas.
