"In any case, being able to give you a hunter's revolver is enough to show that the other party recognizes your strength."

Zoro lowered his body slightly, held the scabbard of the three katana at his waist with his right hand, and smiled excitedly: "I originally thought that Donghai would not meet a professional hunter, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain in a restaurant...... Hey, let's have a fight! ”

"Not interested."

Sanji looked impatient, "There are more pirates like you who follow the taste, and everyone wants to defeat me to prove that they are capable of being above the [Hunters] or taking advantage of the Hunters' Association." Don't be funny, Chlorella, I'm not obligated to play games with you. Okay, I'm going to entertain the other guests, so please take care of yourself. ”

After saying that, Sanji turned around and 'floated' towards the other young beauties who had just walked into the restaurant, offering great hospitality.

Karina looked at Sauron worriedly, for fear that the guy would act irrationally. Both she and Luffy are well aware of Zoro's purpose in going to sea - to find and challenge Mihawk 'Hawkeye', and the strongest swordsman in the world has joined Coral two years ago, and it has been extremely difficult to find the dragon in the past two years. I am afraid that only by becoming a [Hunter] can I use the Hunter Association to obtain enough intelligence and resources to find the strongest swordsman in the world.

As for challenging Sanji, I think it's also to be able to defeat the opponent and be qualified to ask the other party to help him find that Hawkeye with the help of the intelligence network of the Hunter Association, right? It's nonsensical, but it's the most suitable solution at the moment.

But Sanji has met too many people who have come to challenge him recklessly over the years, and if he wastes his time, he will make a mess of the restaurant business, which is not at all beneficial to Sanji, who is bent on helping Tak Fu revitalize and grow the sea restaurant Barati, and over time Sanji is not sensitive to such challenges. If the other party is really entangled or intends to commit murder, Sanji will teach the other party a good lesson.

Leaving aside Sanji, Zoro was not annoyed when he was rejected, but sat down at the table and fell into deep thought.

I was a little reckless just now. If you are reckless, you will find someone to provoke, if you are still alone like half a month ago, it would be fine, but now you are a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and if you see a strong person like this, you will only bring more trouble to the captain. Now that you have sworn to join the Straw Hat Pirates, you must do your best in your duties and not let anything go wrong!

"Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now, and this won't happen again."

Zoro suddenly said solemnly to Luffy across the table.

Luffy responded to Zoro with a grin. Usopp and Karina looked at each other and smiled reassuringly.

"Coral and Hunter...... Even in the village of Sirob, you can often hear these names. ”

After all, Usopp has stayed in his hometown from birth to adulthood and has never been to sea, and he really can't understand any cutting-edge advice by relying on the special edition of the Donghai newspaper that was turned out of the garbage can: "Karina, you know this information best, what kind of organization are these?" ”

In Usopp's mind, the Coral and Hunter Guild is probably no different from the Pirates, but more powerful.

Luffy also showed a curious look on his face, and although Zoro knew something about the Hunter Association, he was basically confused about corals.

"You guys...... I don't know anything and dare to come out to be a pirate in a daze? These are all common sense that should be known! ”

Karina was speechless, so she had to explain to the three of them: "[Coral] is the most powerful and wealthy chamber of commerce in the world, it is said to control 20% of the world's Berry, and has many huge industries in the world, and its power is all over the big countries. But in fact, the predecessor of Coral was the mafia known as the West Sea, and it was only a few years ago that it began to transform. Oh yes, the World Economic News that we have been subscribing to is also one of the industries under the command of Coral. ”

"And the [Hunters' Association] is a huge organization that all bounty hunters and neutral forces in this world rely on. Almost every major country has a branch of the Hunter Association, and all bounty hunters and neutrals with ideals, ambitions and abilities choose to be attached to the banner of the Hunter Association. ”

"In the past two years, the Hunters' Association has gradually replaced the world government and the navy's wanted and exchange business for bounty criminals, and more and more people choose to hand over bounties to the Hunters' Association in exchange for points and money, and the Hunters' Association's standards for wanted bounties are also different from those of the Navy, with their own set of strict screening criteria."

"Although the Navy and the World Government insist on issuing bounty orders, it is no longer the case that everyone is based on the bounty orders issued by the World Government. Adventurers who have been dubbed 'pirates' will also be able to sail the seas more freely. ”

Luffy and the others had expressions on their faces that seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and they only knew how to nod.

"Is there friction between the two? Or is it a collaboration or something? Usopp suddenly raised his hand and asked.

"Huh?"

"I mean, these two powerful forces are also spread across the big powers, and they are either like fire and water or they are working together...... Right, right? Usopp stammered more and more, for it was not only Karina, but even Sauron's expression was surprised.

Karina pondered her words and spoke, "...... Well, in fact, these two forces can never be 'opposed', and the so-called 'cooperation' is impossible. Because [Coral] and [Hunters' Association] are both under the command of the same person, where is the opposition and cooperation between the left and right hands? ”

"Same, the same person??" Luffy and Usopp's eyes widened. According to the previous description, either of these two forces can compete with the navy, and they actually belong to the same leader?

"The 'Murder Chain' Mafia Victor."

Karina's face flushed, and she took out a carefully folded newspaper clipping from the deep groove of her chest at the V-neckline and spread it on the table, a photo cut out of the newspaper, an extremely handsome blonde man who caught the eye. Her voice was full of wistfulness: "There is no doubt that this era belongs to the 'murder chain', everyone says so. Yes...... Lord Murder Chain, I really want to get his autograph. ”

Luffy looked at the photo, and the baby face that usually didn't have a proper way became serious at this time: "This guy ...... Is it strong? ”

"Not only is it strong, he stands at the top of this world and looks down on everyone."

Karina shook her head: "The murderous chain was born eight years ago, and since it went to sea, it has been through a hundred battles and has not tasted defeat. The Coral and Hunter Guild were also formed by him, and in terms of personal combat strength, even the 'Hundred Beasts' who were the [Emperor of the Sea] were killed by him in the Great Passage, and the 'Whitebeard' and 'Red Hair' could only stand still and watch him continue to expand his power. The Navy and the World Government have even shrunk their forces to not compete with them, and now people are saying that the murderous chain is the closest candidate to the [throne]. ”

"The throne?"

"The throne of the king of the sea!" Karina's beautiful big eyes were full of awe: "And it seems to have been ...... in the newspapers lately"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a commotion outside the restaurant.
