Chapter 17: The Man
At the Ringing Wharf in Alghero Town, the merchant ship 'Croissant' docked slowly.
It's not surprising that there are more traces of artillery fire on the ship, since One Piece Gordo Roger shouted that era-changing sentence before his execution in 1498 in the Sea Circle Calendar, the era of pirates has begun.
Countless pirates rush to the sea to compete for the legendary One Piece, which represents endless wealth. Of course, there is also the traditional pirate who likes to rob houses.
When returning from the country of flowers, Victor and his party encountered at least 4 pirate raids, one of which was quite clever, and recognized the flag of 'Coral' before making a move, and then linked to the recent newspaper report, where did they dare to come forward and rob? didn't even dare to say anything about the scene, so he sped up and fled.
The other three pirates were not so lucky, not only were all the pirate ships sunk, but the surviving pirates also took the gangplank to feed the sharks. Capone Becky was particularly knowledgeable in this regard, and Victor was left to him and Cransner.
However, these pirates are all particularly unpopular, and none of the captains have offered a bounty of more than 10 million. During the battle, Victor asked Perona to bomb directly from a distance, and by the way, he discovered that Mime was actually very talented as a gunner, which was a surprise.
On the Ringing Pier, a large group of black-clad gangsters stood in black press, standing in two columns, waiting for the ship to dock completely.
The first to come down was Victor, who was casually draped in half-length blonde hair, and he was dressed in a black suit, and Perona was supposed to put a black velvet coat on him, but he refused on the grounds that the weather was too hot.
Then Perona, dressed in a short black dress with pleated skirts and red and black cross-striped over-the-knee socks, followed behind Victor with a small umbrella.
Then there is Capone Becky in a striped suit, Kransner in a black coat and a staff of civilization, and Mime in a shirt and overalls.
The last one to come out was Mai Honghime, who was wearing the red dress that Perona bought in the Land of Flowers, and carrying the famous knife 'Red Siam', which was a little cramped.
All the people present bowed deeply with one hand on their chests, and shouted loudly: "Welcome back!" Father! ”
Victor smiled and waved his hand, and said gently, "You have worked hard during my absence, go back to the headquarters." ”
Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt with a deep tattoo on his head looked at Victor and his party on the dock with a frown, and asked in a low voice, "Who is the woman in the red dress?" ”
The plainclothes sailors on the side carefully checked the information and said: "There is no specific information, only that she is the fuse of the war between the 'murder chain' and the 'charcoal eyebrows'." ”
"Murder chain?" Middle-aged Navy Colonel Crohn turned his head to look at the plainclothes sailors.
"It's the nickname given to him by the branch, after all, this guy is too ferocious, and the whole person of that 'charcoal eyebrows' is bloody ............"
"Okay, okay, I got it." Krohn waved his hand and motioned for the sailor to shut up quickly, after he saw the scene photos of the corpse of the 'charcoal eyebrows', he wondered if this Mafia Victor had some psychological shadows or tragic past in his childhood, otherwise how could he be so psychopathic.
"Young man, it's understandable." Crohn looked at the beautiful woman in the red dress with a slightly red face, and nodded: "This girl looks like this, wherever she is put there, there will be a group of young men who will break her head for her, and you will die, after all, Mafia is a 17-year-old boy haha." ”
"Shall we keep an eye on him, Colonel Crohn?"
"What are you watching, the same old thing, just guard the entrance to Upside Down Mountain." Crohn dug into his pocket: "Did you bring any money?" ”
"Huh? Bring, brought, there are 20,000 berry. Ignorantly, the sailor reached out for his wallet.
"20,000 berry? That's enough, let's go, go to the 'Simon Cheese Circle' and buy baked cheese bagels. Crohn nodded in satisfaction and turned away with the marine.
Victor, who was surrounded by the gang, glanced in the direction of Crohn's departure and smiled.
Alghero town 'Coral' headquarters, 3rd floor large conference hall.
A white-haired old man in a decent suit is holding a stack of papers to report to the returning Victor.
“………… The above is the general situation of the gang in the past month, and the specific details are recorded in detail in these documents, so please see for yourself later. The old man respectfully handed the papers to Victor with both hands.
Victor took the document and put it aside, and smiled gently, "Mr. Wendru, you've been bothered these days. But I have one more thing, the guy I put your eye on before I left last time......"
Wendru's face became more serious: "Boss, the person you want me to find...... I did find it. ”
Victor perked up and sat up straight: "Please be seated, Mr. Wendru, please elaborate on the specific situation." ”
Wendrew didn't shirk either, sat down on the chair on the side of the round table, and after sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said, "That's right. After your departure last time, I began to collect information about the possible existence of that person as you instructed, and I had no clue, but on the fourth day, I ............"
—————————————————————————————
The time is set back to 21 days ago.
Victor and his entourage set off for the 4th day of the Flower Country.
Town of Alghero.
The white-haired old man with gold-rimmed glasses, Wendrew, sat in his office, looking at the pile of scattered papers on the table in front of him, and his face was sad.
The new owner, Victor, is undoubtedly much better than the previous Talma Pippin, gentle, courteous, tough and very intelligent, and is the perfect leader. Because of this, Wendrew didn't want the first task assigned to him by his boss to be the starting point.
There was a knock at the door, and when he got permission, a tall man with short blue hair pushed the door and entered: "Mr. Wendru, the restoration of the town center is almost in the final stages. ”
"Got it, Mr. Taru." Wendrew took off his gold-wire glasses and rubbed his eyebrows: "What about Little Jack?" ”
Before Taru, the blue-haired man, could speak, a red-haired young man squeezed in from behind him, and shouted vigorously, "Old man, are you looking for me?" ”
“…… Steady focus, I haven't grown up with Mr. Taru for so long. Wendrew felt that he was going to lose a few more strands of gray hair: "Have you brought back the group of people left by the 'Suleimans' in the town of Katsuri?" ”
"Oooh! Brought back, here is the list and photos. Little Jack handed over the list in a chattering manner: "There are a few disobedient ones, and they were kicked by my little Jack!" Click! That's it......"
Wendrew directly filtered Little Jack's nonsense, flipped through the list photos, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his whole body leaned forward violently.
Little Jack, who was talking endlessly, was taken aback, and laughed in a low voice: "Old man, if you don't like me to talk, then I won't say it, who made my little Jack so smart, cute and understanding............"
"You go and bring this person in at once, remember, be normal, and don't talk any extra nonsense." Wendrew solemnly spread one of the lists on the table, pointed to a picture and said to little Jack.
After 30 minutes.
Vindru's office was banged again. Wendru, who had already adjusted his condition, cleared his throat and said softly, "Please come in." ”
Click.
The door was pushed open, and a young dark-haired woman stood in front of it, looking calm.
Wendrew smiled and stretched out his left hand, "You may be seated, Miss Robin." ”
