Chapter 21: Propose a Deal! Tear your face after the negotiation broke down

Seeing a human head flying in the air, even Chloe couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

Not to mention Usopp, who almost screamed.

Chloe's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw the iconic red nose and clown makeup on the man's head, he immediately recognized the person's identity as a person who often read wanted notices.

Wanted pirates - "Joker", "Splitting Fruit Ability" Bucky.

How did he end up here?

Bucky flew through the air for a while, taking in all the beaches below, before shouting behind him, "Captain, he's the only one." ”

Captain?!

Chloe was stunned, he remembered that Bucky had his own pirate group, what made Bucky willing to become a subordinate?

Then, a black-haired, red-lipped woman wearing a white wide-brimmed hat stepped down from the gangplank, holding a large iron rod.

This woman, Chloe didn't recognize, and there was no portrait of this woman in the wanted warrant.

Finally, it was a strange man in a three-cornered hat who slowly walked off the springboard.

The overwhelming momentum that followed, Chloe was sure that this was the captain Bucky was talking about.

Octopus fish human head, tentacles, crab claws...... These characteristics quickly reminded Chloe of a wanted notice that he had only seen recently.

It was a wanted warrant that had only been updated recently, and the person who had been offered a bounty was named "David Jones" for the following crimes.

Kill Colonel Monka of the Navy Branch.

Destroy three naval warships.

Countless naval soldiers were seriously wounded.

Recruit Yarrita, who is also a wanted pirate.

A certain amount of damage was carried out to the town of Orange.

Based on the above crimes and the possible harm caused in the future, the Navy raised the bounty for David Jones to 30 million Bailey.

Since he has the same name as the legendary demon of the deep sea, the navy simply gave him the name "Hades of the Deep", like "Iron Rod" and "Clown".

If it weren't for the fact that the news of the destruction of the black market at sea hadn't spread this morning, David Jones' bounty would have been even higher.

Chloe is still particularly concerned about David Jones, after all, he is the one who killed Monka, and Monka is a key player in Chloe's fake death.

In that case, everything makes sense.

Chloe understood where David Jones knew his true identity, and he must have deduced it from a combination of some words from Monka and the Black Cat Pirates.

And this "Deep Sea Hades" has recruited two "Iron Rods" and "Clowns", and his requests are very big.

It's just that where did the "iron rod" go, why didn't you see her appear, is she guarding the ship?

Chloe noticed the large iron rod that the black-haired beauty was carrying, but subconsciously ignored this feature, because he could not have imagined that someone would eat a Devil Fruit and that such a huge change would occur.

After a moment of silence in the eyes of each other.

"David Jones." Chloe stood up from the stone and called him by his first name, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

David Jones was slightly surprised, not expecting Chloe to recognize him at a glance.

Maybe it has something to do with the recent wanted warrant.

Chloe held out his hand rather gentlemanly.

David Joneston paused, then reached out and shook his hand.

Chloe swallowed a mouthful of saliva and resisted it so that he didn't take out the silk scarf in his arms to wipe the slippery mucus in his hands, but the physical discomfort still made his forehead bruise.

"Now that you can get that phone bug." Chloe quietly put his hands behind his back, then frantically rubbed the slime on his trousers, "That means the Black Cat Pirates have been destroyed, right?" ”

Bucky's head floating in the air smiled, "So what? ”

Chloe glanced at Bucky with a grim look.

Bucky shrank back in fear, but the thought of Captain David Jones beside him was nothing to fear, and he moved closer to Chloe.

To be honest, Chloe's first reaction was to hear them admit that the Black Cat Pirates had been destroyed.

In this way, the only people in the world who know his true identity are the group of people in front of him.

Everything is still under control.

What can pirates do when they go to sea? Isn't it still wealth and power? As long as you catch this, you will be able to catch the life of most pirates.

Believing that he could control the situation, Chloe groaned for a while and said, "Let's make a deal." ”

"Deal?" David Jones was lighting the tobacco in his pipe, and he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to make a deal with him, and asked curiously, "Tell me about it." ”

"In this Xirob village, there lives a rich family, and now the large amount of property is all in the name of a young lady, as long as the plan is reasonable, we can get this property safely."

"Go on."

David Jones' calm look when he heard about "a large fortune" deeply disturbed Chloe.

On the contrary, the black-haired beauty and Bucky's head around him all showed greedy looks, which was the reaction that pirates should have.

Still, Chloe continued.

"We can work with each other. In the name of the Black Cat Pirates, you attacked the village of Xirob, bloodbathed and looted, and by the way, captured the mansion. Together, we forced the eldest lady to write a suicide note, put the property in my name, and we killed all those who knew it. ”

"After that, I will pay you a sum of money first, because the sudden sale of property will arouse suspicion, and the rest of the money, I will continue to send it to you, and even I can become the funder behind the pirates."

"I will supply you with food, water, and weapons. I'm in charge of the money on the surface, and you get rid of those who stand in our way. Cooperate with each other, and soon, this sea area will be under our control. ”

Chloe laid out his plans and plans.

Of course, at the end of the plan, whether there will be any changes, such as killing people and killing people, depends on his mood at the time.

Such a plan made both Arrita and Bucky quite tempted, they were pirates after all.

However, they all tacitly did not say anything, but quietly looked at Captain David Jones, wanting to know the captain's attitude.

David Jones swallowed the clouds and asked, "Chloe, huh?" ”

Chloe didn't like others calling him by his real name, so he frowned, but still endured: "What do you think?" ”

"Why don't you just go after that eldest lady?" David Jones pointed out another way, "As a husband, you can get the property directly, right?" You don't even need our assistance. ”

Chloe fell silent.

David Jones was not in a hurry, smoking his pipe and waiting for Chloe's reply.

"Hehe, hehehehe......"

After a moment, Chloe burst out laughing.

It was the first heartfelt laugh he had heard in three years, and the indifference in it made Jarrita and Bucky goosebumps rise.

"You're mistaken." Chloe held his glasses with the palm of his hand, lowered his head again, and the shadow completely covered his face, "Miss Keya's money is very important, but my inner peace is more important. ”

"I have to get the wealth as planned, and that's been my dream for three years. Every night, I think about this scene, thinking about the details over and over again, to reminisce as if it really happened. ”

"You want me to be Miss Koya's husband? That kind of thing, you can't do it at all. If I were to continue to grovel and take care of that stinky girl, and if I were to continue to wear this mask, I couldn't do it. ”

"The plan has to be implemented. For three years, I endured everything in silence, just to see the look on her face when she learned the truth...... It makes me want to stop. The plan must be carried out in this way. ”

David Jones understands that Chloe in front of him is the kind of perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive person who is relatively rare.

It's not that Chloe's original plan was perfect, but that Chloe needs everyone to complete the original plan for him like a pawn, so that he can see the picture that he thinks about day and night.

"Huh." David Jones smiled, "The plan is good, but I refuse to play this kind of game with you." ”

Chloe furrowed her brow and pursed her lips.

The atmosphere stiffened.

Just when Arlita and Bucky thought he was going to break out and hurt someone, they realized that he had turned around, sighed, and walked away slowly.

What's going on?

Just gone?

Chloe walked over to the rocks, took out his handbag, unzipped it, and removed the special gloves and long knife inside.

He attached the long knives to his gloves one by one, and put them on, making him look like a black cat with sharp claws.

"I knew ......" Chloe cupped his glasses with the palm of his hand, gesture so that his claws would not cut his face, "I knew that with pirates like you, there was no point in talking about a deal, you didn't understand that the pleasure of planning and waiting for a long time is the sweetest thing to get in the end." ”

Murderous intent surged in him.
