Chapter 250 Taking the Bounty by Force (Fifth Update)
"What is that?"
"White ghost?!"
He didn't wait for the pirates on the other side to fully recognize his identity.
Adrian was like a yellow bird, easily killing all the "Mantis" pirate captains who were preparing for a preemptive strike.
Then the red light flashed in his eyes, and his domineering aura covered the entire island.
Because Gaya Island does not cover a large area, it lacks the necessary supplies to sustain life.
Therefore, the pirate gangs on this island are very mobile, and there is no powerful pirate group permanently stationed on the island.
Confirmed by the perception of seeing, hearing, and coloring.
At this moment, the number of pirates destroyed on the streets has accounted for more than 90% of all pirates in Demon Valley Town.
Some of the remaining ones.
Either he was a drunk who drank until he was unconscious, or he was a coward who was simply too scared to come over.
Adrian has no intention of continuing to harvest the heads of those useless things.
The main thing is it's not worth the money.
Glancing at Enel, who was still standing still, Adrian stretched out his fingers and tapped the shell of the lead-gray pocket watch in his arms.
Rumi came out with a cry of "Oh!" and flew in the air.
"Adrian, what's the matter?"
Pointing to Enelu over there, Adrian said casually.
"Separate a separate space in the castle and put the boy in there to have a good rest...
"Well, by the way, don't let the bloody smell on his body stain the castle environment."
Rumi nodded, not feeling the slightest discomfort with the current environment in Demon Valley Town.
As a ship's spirit of the Roger Pirates, Rumi has experienced a lot.
A small scene like this in Magic Valley Town, sprinkle it with water~
A ripple appeared in the void, and Rumi used his ability to collect Enelu into the strong city fortress, and then got into it himself.
After identifying the direction, Adrian flew leisurely towards the only bar in Magic Valley Town.
As for Wenbulan Kulik, who had followed him to Sky Island a few months ago and was sent back to the sea, he was not on Gaya Island at this time, and he did not know where he had gone.
Adrian's aura was not felt in his sense of dominance.
This descendant of the Wenbulan family, after confirming the existence of Sky Island and Golden Township, vowed to find the location of Sky Island and Golden Township through his own efforts.
Maybe Kulik is preparing to raise funds at this time to build a ship strong enough to withstand huge rising currents...
Not long after.
Adrian came to the only bar in Magic Valley, pushed open the half-suspended door and walked inside.
In the bar at this time.
There were only a few pirates in the corner who were completely drunk with alcohol, mumbling something in their sleep that no one could hear clearly.
Noticing the distinctive pirate marks on their bodies, Adrian repeated his old tricks and made these guys completely die in their drunken dreams.
"This, this guest, do you need any service?"
The tavern owner, a dark-skinned young man wearing an orange bandana, asked stammeringly.
Adrian glanced at the black mark on the tavern owner's right arm and asked, "Are you a pirate too?"
Tavern owner Terry's forehead was instantly covered with sweat. While covering his right hand, he argued excitedly:
"...I was, I was!"
"But I haven't been a pirate for many years now!"
Adrian raised his eyebrows. At your age, you haven't been a pirate for many years?
Could it be that you came out to live a casual life when you were eight years old, little brother?
Without getting entangled in these minutiae, the tavern owner's words had no flaws other than the doubtful authenticity.
After all, this look was the same as Adrian's impression of the boss of Magic Valley Town twenty years later, except for his age.
Even if this boss was once a pirate, he will still be a boss for decades in the future, right?
"I heard that your store has specially made 'cherry pie'?"
One of Adrian's purposes in coming to this tavern was to taste the cherry pie that Blackbeard and Luffy gave two completely opposite reviews.
Seeing that the white ghost was not going to cause trouble for him, Boss Terry was relieved. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied hurriedly: "Yes, yes! I'll get ready right now!"
Not long after, the long-awaited cherry pie was picked up by the boss with both hands and placed in front of Adrian with great respect.
Adrian picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece at random, and stuffed it into his mouth.
“It just tastes ordinary...
"I am indeed not a destined person..."
After tasting a few more mouthfuls, [Dessert Tongue] conveyed an unusually clear sense of resistance.
Adrian shook his head slowly and called Rumi, asking him to bring the uneaten cherry pie into the castle and place it where Anilu was just now, preparing for this kid to deal with it when he wakes up later. Lose.
Nervous Boss Terry stepped forward again, his hands constantly rubbing the apron in front of him, "Guest, are you satisfied?"
"Just average."
Adrian said calmly.
"By the way, can your tavern exchange bounties? There are a lot of pirates outside."
As a bounty hunter who had been hanging out in the Western Sea for a long time in his early years, Adrian naturally knew that some places would work part-time to exchange pirate bounties.
Among them, pubs are the most popular.
At the same time, many tavern owners will also secretly work as intelligence brokers. After all, taverns are the places where information circulates the most.
Boss Taili was confused: "But there are too many pirates outside, and the store can't bear it..."
"Then help harvest the pirates' heads. It should be no problem, right?"
"Of course!"
Half a day later.
The Abyss, carrying a large number of pirate heads with a bounty of more than five million beli, slowly sailed away from Gaya Island and headed towards the nearest naval branch base.
Catch the pirates, collect the bounty, and find the navy.
Nothing seems wrong?
……
G13 branch base.
"Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan! Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan!"
A communications soldier ran to the branch commander's office in a panic to report.
The kind-faced Huo Shaoshan asked calmly: "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
I saw Zongbin shouting in great fear: "It's the White Ghost! The White Ghost has come to our branch base!"
The relaxed and gentle expression that originally appeared on Huo Shaoshan's face instantly converged and became extremely solemn, and he quickly ran towards the base hall.
His figure is so fast and his movements are so quick, he even uses "shaving"!
"What are you doing here? White Ghost?!"
After not seeing each other for many years, the once acquaintances have turned into strange enemies at this moment.
"Fire Mountain?"
Adrian raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Vice Admiral in charge of the naval branch base he randomly selected near Gaya Island turned out to be Huo Shaoshan, whom he had met several times in the West Sea!
"Long time no see, the rank of Major Huoshaoshan has increased rapidly!"
Adrian sighed.
However, in just four years, he was promoted from Major of the Navy Branch to Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters.
Huo Shaoshan's strength growth rate is exaggerated enough!
It seems that Admiral Zefa's elite naval training camp that he mentioned before was indeed of great help to him!
Huo Shaoshan said with a cold face: "White Ghost, you are now a big pirate jointly wanted by the Navy Headquarters and the World Government! Do you want to be sent to Impel Down City Prison when you appear in front of the Navy so openly?"
"Really?"
Adrian suddenly took a small step forward.
However.
It's a simple step, a non-aggressive step.
In the naval base hall, all the naval soldiers except Huo Shaoshan, including those with military rank, couldn't help but take a small step back, as if they had seen some savage beast.
"It seems that your navy is not very interested in arresting me."
Adrian shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.
Huo Shaoshan looked extremely ugly, but he couldn't reprimand his subordinates in front of Bai Phantom, so he could only remain tough and said: "White Phantom, what do you want to do in the G13 branch?"
"I just captured some pirates on Gaya Island, and I want to come to the base here to redeem the bounty."
Adrian pointed to the wooden boxes stacked high next to him and said in a frivolous tone.
"Isn't this a reasonable request?"
How reasonable!
Looking at the neatly arranged wooden boxes, Huo Shaoshan's expression was very stiff, and he almost wanted to draw a knife and kill someone.
Most of the other navy soldiers also looked strange. They found that the big pirate White Ghost did not seem to be as scary as the rumors, but on the contrary...
A bit humorous?
"This is impossible!" Huo Shaoshan refused without hesitation, "There has never been any precedent for a pirate to exchange a bounty with the navy!"
"So am I not the one who broke the precedent?"
Adrian raised his hand to explore the void. As ripples appeared, the second generation Demon Sword Gui Te was held in the palm of his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed at the position of Huoshao Mountain.
"Or do you want to be [robbed] by pirates?"
"Justice will never compromise with pirates!"
Huo Shaoshan pulled out the long sword from his waist with a serious expression. He was also a powerful one-sword swordsman.
Well aware of the strength gap between him and his opponent, Huo Shaoshan took a deep breath and actually launched the attack first, turning into a black shadow and rushing towards Adrian.
【Dragon Power】!
【Critical Attack Specialization】!
Adrian swung his sword forward, and the sharp second-generation ghost sword easily held the long knife in Huoshaoshan's hand in the air.
The next moment, Adrian's right arm exerted a slight force, like a baseball, and whipped the Huoshaoshan directly away.
The Lieutenant General's huge body crashed through several thick walls one after another and fell into ruins, unable to get up again.
"Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan!"
The navy soldiers chanted.
"So, are you ready to pay now?"
Adrian lazily held a few sword flowers and looked at the group of navy soldiers next to him.
"I came here sincerely to rob—cough! To collect the reward."
Thanks to "Bing Tanghulu LOVE" for the 200 starting coin reward.
Although today (?) is the fifth update, the actual word count is already over 17,000 words.
Even excluding the early morning update, there are still more than 15,000 words. Can it be counted as seven updates?
The seventh update is not enough, even the sixth update is okay?
Is it possible? Is that okay?
