Chapter 14: Bounty Order! New intelligence about Davy Jones
They tied the boat to a stake with a rope and walked to the pier.
Luffy strode forward.
And the sharp-eyed Zoro had already noticed that there seemed to be traces of artillery bombardment and battle on the dock, so he kept an eye on it.
Once in town, they quickly saw the street that had been destroyed by the Bucky bomb, and an entire area had been razed to the ground.
"Wow-hoh-" Luffy pressed his straw hat with some excitement and jumped up nimbly to see, "What the hell is going on here?" ”
Sauron silently grasped the hilt of the sword of the Wadoi text, and watched around vigilantly.
At this time, a group of people walked not far away, dressed as ordinary townspeople, but they were holding knives and forks, and they looked rather unfriendly and stared at Luffy and Zoro.
Beside them, they were followed by a bandaged white-haired dog, baring its teeth at strangers.
"Who are you?" The first of the townspeople was the mayor of Butle, still heavily armed, armed with a spear and his glasses shining, "What are you doing in the town?" ”
"I'm Monchi. D. Luffy. Luffy directly confessed, "I'm a pirate, and my dream is to become the king of the pirates." He is Zoro, my companion, and his dream is to become the world's number one swordsman, and we are here to find food in the town. ”
Zoro patted his forehead helplessly.
This guy is like this, he likes to report his family, but his identity is not visible.
Pirate?!
Pirates again?!
And you are ashamed to want to be the king of the pirates?
When the citizens of Orange Town heard the word "pirate", they were a little stressed and angry.
"You still dare to come to Orange Town, get out of here!"
"Don't come near here, bastard pirate!"
"We have managed to take back our home garden and drive the remaining pirates away, and we will never allow you to disturb us again!"
Acting differently from the angry townspeople is Mayor Butel, who is the first to notice another point in Luffy's words - "Zoro".
Isn't that the same name as that bounty hunter?
Could it be said?
Luffy blinked a little strangely when he saw the crowd's indignation, but didn't speak.
"Declare in advance." Zoro waved his hand and said, "This guy and I are not companions, just temporary partners. I don't know what's going on in the town, but I assure you that we have no ill will. ”
The townspeople still don't believe it, and they have to drive the two pirates away.
"That's it!" Suddenly, the mayor of Butel raised his voice and suppressed the discontent of the crowd, "Listen to their explanations first. ”
He actually has quite mixed feelings about pirates.
The damage done by the Bucky Pirates to Orange Town made him hateful.
However, in the case of calling the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, the two suspected pirates defeated the Bucky Pirates and allowed the citizens to return home.
As for the remaining Bucky Pirates, they either dispersed on their own or were driven away by their combined efforts.
Now, the town of Orange has begun to be rebuilt.
Mayor Butel is the one who has seen firsthand how the Bucky Pirates collapsed, so instead of repelling the pirates like the townspeople, he is willing to give them a chance.
Seeing that he was still regarded as a pirate by this group of people, Zoro sighed and said:
"The man in the straw hat is right, we are just passing by, wanting to eat something, replenish food and water, take a break by the way, rest assured, we will pay."
He took out the Bailey in his bosom and showed it to the people.
"Also." Sauron continued, "I've come to ask you for information. ”
He retrieved Bailey and pulled out a brand new wanted post, the photo on which was rather blurry, with only a few features being more pronounced.
The townspeople hadn't seen David Jones, but Mayor Bootle recognized him at first sight, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he felt reasonable.
Under the photo, the name is "??? His real name or pseudonym is still unknown, and it is marked with the words "life or death", followed by a bounty.
It turned out to be as high as "25 million Baileys"!
This is definitely a very high bounty in Tokai.
Zoro observed Mayor Butel's look of surprise and guessed that he must have seen a real person.
He could even come to the conclusion that the destruction of the city like this had nothing to do with the weirdo.
However, after a moment, Mayor Butel pretended to be calm and shook his head.
"I haven't met this guy."
"Haven't seen it?" Zoro showed a stunned expression, the expression of the old man in front of him just now must have seen a real person, he didn't understand why the old man was lying.
Did you think I was really a pirate and wouldn't tell me more information?
At the beginning, Zoro left the town of Shelds, and then in a small town, he used the three-knife flow to solve some thugs.
Luffy, who happened to see this scene, pestered him and insisted that he be a pirate companion.
Zoro repeatedly refused, and if it weren't for the fact that Luffy didn't look like a bad person, he would have beaten up this entangled person early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Luffy's existence now has a bad influence on him.
"Old man, wait a minute." In order to prove that he was not a pirate, Zoro reached into his arms and took out a large stack of bounty orders, spreading them on the ground, "To tell you the truth, my name is Roronoa Zoro, and I often do some bounty hunter work, you should have heard of me." ”
The citizens were stunned.
It turned out that he was the famous Sauron!
Mayor Butle's expression was calm, "sure enough, it's him".
Back then, after they turned to the navy to no avail, they tried to find the bounty hunter and hire him to deal with the Bucky Pirates.
It's a pity that there has been no news of him, and there is no channel to contact him.
This is also normal, Zoro does the job of a bounty hunter, he just does it casually, and when he has no money, he will cut a few pirates on the bounty order.
Coupled with his road idiot attributes, it is too difficult for ordinary people to find him.
Luffy crouched down at this time, looking at the bounty orders one by one.
["Iron Rod" Yarrita, 5 million Baileys on the bounty]
["Joker" Bucky, bounty of 15 million Bailey]
["Admiral" Klick, a bounty of 17 million Bailey]
["Sawtooth" Aaron, a bounty of 20 million Bailey]
【“??? ", a bounty of 25 million Bailey]
"I'm so envious." Luffy looked at the bounty order and grinned, "I don't know how much the bounty will be when I am wanted for the first time." ”
This teenager who aspires to be the "King of the Pirates" always has a very clear idea.
However, even though Zoro revealed his identity and the bounty order in one place proved the threat of the strange man, Mayor Butel chose to remain silent.
Seeing that he was so persistent, Sauron stopped asking.
He silently withdrew the bounty order, then smiled calmly.
"I'm not going to ask for any more information about weirdos. Now, I just want to eat something, so it's okay, right? ”
Gollum –
Luffy's stomach rang at the right time.
"Order hasn't been fully restored in the town, but restaurants are already open." Mayor Butel pursed his lips, "As long as you pay, they'll be willing to entertain you." ”
"Mayor Mare!" At this time, a citizen objected, "Even if Mr. Zoro is a bounty hunter, he is currently staying with a pirate!" ”
Mayor Butel waved his hand: "Listen to me." ”
His personal prestige is so high that the citizens have no choice but to agree to come down and let Luffy and Zoro enter Orange Town.
Just after Luffy and Zoro walked a hundred meters, Mayor Butel suddenly stopped them again.
"Hey!" The old man lifted his glasses.
Luffy and Zoro stood and looked at him.
Mayor Butel said:
"When the town was occupied by the Bucky Pirates, the navy was reluctant to come to our aid, and we couldn't find a suitable helper, it was the weirdos in this bounty order that helped us defeat the Bucky Pirates."
"I don't know what he's done before, or why he's coming to deal with Bucky the Clown, I just know that he helped us."
Luffy and Zoro stood in place, listening intently.
"The Yarrita in the bounty order is his subordinate." Mayor Butel continued.
"I heard her call that weirdo, 'Captain David Jones,' which was supposed to be his real name. All I can tell you is this information, and I won't say anything else, including where they went. ”
Davy jones?
Zoro frowned, then waved his hand at Mayor Butle, "Good! That's enough. Thank you. ”
