The Most Wasteful Fruit Among Pirates - Vol 2 Chapter 8

East Sea, Shields Town,

Although this is just an ordinary seaside town, it also has a naval military base, and next to the military base densely covered with forts, there is a thriving tavern.

bull house,

Although the name is frustrating, it doesn’t prevent the place from being full of seats, and they are all ‘men of the sea’ with swords and guns. Because they all have a common identity:

Bounty Hunter!

But now, in the face of the boy who pushed the door and entered, these good guys laughed wildly after a moment:

“Hahahaha, no… no way,”

“Little brother, this is not where you should be—”

Because of Rossi, Luffy started to go to sea several years earlier, red vest, blue cropped pants, and super fast drag, because he didn’t get a straw hat from Shanks, it looked like a shabby country Fishing boy: Although in fact Luffy did work as a fisherman before.

“Hee hee hee, I’m also a bounty hunter!”

Luffy was not annoyed, he pulled the rope in his hand, and a big man with wounds all over his body, his head down, and his hands tied with ropes appeared behind him.

Crackling,

Amidst the sound of falling tables, chairs and benches, the expressions of the ‘Sea Boys’ who had laughed at Luffy just now changed drastically, and they grabbed their weapons and got up.

“‘Slash’ Halden?!”

This ‘master’ with a bounty of 9 million is an existence that most of the bounty hunters here dare not face up to. After seeing clearly that the **** man, the big man, was holding the rope in the hands of the boy in front, the expressions of these bounty hunters changed.

Miscalculation, it turns out that this boy is the ‘true master’.

“Hee hee hee, boss, I’m here to redeem the bounty!”

There is a reason why this bar was opened next to the naval base: the owner is a retired navy captain, not only selling alcohol, but also “receiving goods” by the way. That’s right, the big man nicknamed “Heavy Cut” who was caught by Luffy, named Halden, was the goods received by the bar owner.

Although under normal circumstances, the goods come to him in the form of ‘human heads’, but such a complete situation like today is not unheard of.

“Kid, did you catch it yourself?”

After receiving Luffy’s grinning answer, the boss with a cold face, a large scar on his cheek, and a navy uniform nodded, and pressed a button on the table.

Soon, a group of navy soldiers trotted beside them, and when they saw the big man being led by Luffy, they all felt like they were facing an enemy. After verifying the other party’s identity, he couldn’t help but salute Luffy, and then took the big guy away.

By the way, the title of ‘Heavy Cut’ Halden was established from the corpses of more than twenty naval soldiers.

“Here, this is 9 million Pele.”

The boss counted out three thick stacks of Baileys and handed them to Luffy who was just as tall as the counter.

Although Luffy needs to step on his feet to get the money, no one here dares to underestimate him.

“Well, it seems that we need to recruit people…”

After getting this huge sum of money, Luffy began to think about recruiting manpower. Hearing him talking to himself, there were a few loud bangs, and several heroes stood beside him.

“My martial arts are strong, I wish…”

“I have always had a wise name, but…”

“I can split ligers and tigers, hope…”

Then, the tavern fell into a strange silence, and everyone looked at each other with unkind faces.

‘See no more, that’s what fame does. ‘

Rossi’s voice rang in Luffy’s ears. Luffy’s ability to kill “Heavy Slash” Halden with a bounty of 9 million proves that he has at least the strength of a bounty of tens of millions. And as long as you have the strength, raise your arms and call out, there will be a cloud of followers immediately!

This world is so simple, so it is not unreasonable for many pirates to regard fame very much.

“But you’re not having fun,”

? !

As Luffy spoke like this, the faces of these bounty hunters who stood up were as dark as the bottom of a pot on the spot. But being able to easily catch the master of ‘Heavy Slash’ Halden is not something they can provoke. only:

“It’s fine to say we’re weak, but what’s ‘not fun’?”

A bounty hunter pulled out the flintlock gun at his waist, and aimed at Luffy with a ruthless face!

“Humiliation?”

Bounty hunters are all about exchanging rewards for their lives for money. They draw their swords when they disagree with each other. The only difference from pirates is that they pay for their meals.

Snapped,

The moment the bounty hunter was about to pull the trigger, a scabbard stretched out from the side, blocked his face, and pressed his hand.

? !

“Think clearly, if you pull the trigger on that man, don’t even think about being able to get away unscathed.”

“Asshole, you’re the one again—”

brush,

With a flash of the knife, the flintlock gun made of hardwood and metal broke neatly in the middle. The bounty hunter held half of the handle of the gun, and the whole body stood cold in place, not daring to move!

“me?”

A young man with short green hair stood up next to him, standing up like a tiger.

“I’m also a bounty hunter.”

After finishing speaking, the green-haired boy sheathed his sword and walked past the bounty hunter who was dripping with cold sweat. He was dressed smartly and had three sheathed long knives on his waist. He put down a few Baileys and turned to leave the tavern.

“I like this store very much, don’t make trouble here.”

“Hee hee hee, I found someone interesting!”

Luffy turned his head and looked at the three-sword swordsman who left, showing an excited smile.

“It’s decided, the first partner is him!”

···

what is this?

Just because the crowd took one more look at you, are you a lifetime partner?

Rossi, who followed Luffy, couldn’t help complaining. The green short-haired boy who went out just now was undoubtedly Roronoa Zoro.

“Hey!”

Just do what you say, and when the other party leaves, Luffy immediately chases him out.

“I am Luffy, the man who will become the king of the world! Come be my partner—”

Facing Luffy’s words, the green short-haired boy in front turned around.

“King of the world?”

“Don’t laugh to death!”

“The throne of the strongest in the world belongs to swordsmen, and my goal is to become the strongest swordsman in the world!”

Putting his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, the boy smiled ferociously.

“That is to say, you are my enemy?”

“Hee hee hee, it’s a partner.”

While saying this, Luffy stretched out his right hand carelessly towards the other party.

“How about it, do you want to become the strongest in the world with me?”

···

“Hmph, I want to become the world’s number one swordsman, and the world’s number one swordsman is the strongest man in the world, that is, the king of the world.”

Pulling out the long knife at his waist, the boy with short green hair pointed at Luffy.

“So we are competitors and enemies!”

“If you understand, get out of the way!”

“Hee hee hee, a competitor, or a partner.”

Luffy is like this, once it’s ‘recognized’, the stalker will succeed.

···

And Sauron, although he looks like a ruthless male god, is just a road idiot in essence: Rossi knows very well that the reason why he ran out to become a bounty hunter was because he lost his way when he went out one day. I just can’t find my home!

So Sauron, who was penniless and only good at swordsmanship, started to be a bounty hunter, catching pirates for money to live on.

but···

Rossi, who was hanging in the sky, noticed what the other party said just now:

Is the king of the world the number one swordsman in the world?

Oh wow, when did Hawkeye become so strong~~ Whitebeard and Red Earl are not dead yet.

“Brother Sauron!”

Just when Luffy was trying to recruit Zoro, two bounty hunters ran over.

“Listen to me, I heard the information of ‘Eagle Eye’ in a sea area.”

One of these two guys is wearing a metal forehead, the other is wearing sunglasses, and there is a tattoo of ‘Sea’ on their cheeks. Who else is there besides the famous ‘Sword God and Sword Master’ Joseph and Johnny?

? !

Sauron, who had a cold face just now, immediately regained his spirits when he heard the word ‘Eagle Eye’.

“Quick, take me there!”

“Hey, hey, can we go on the road together.”

Seeing that his favorite partner was about to leave, Luffy immediately followed.

“…do you have a boat?”

After getting Luffy’s nod, Zoro finally made up his mind.

“You give me a ride. After I challenge the ‘Eagle Eye’, it is not impossible to form a team with you to go to the ‘Great Route’.”

“OK,”

Anyway, from Luffy’s point of view, that so-called ‘Eagle Eye’ is the same person as the ‘Heavy Slash’ Halden he caught before. However, Rossi, who heard all this, thought:

This trip will most likely be in vain,

No matter how boring that guy Mihawk is, he can’t run to the East China Sea every day. The so-called ‘Eagle Eye’ is probably just a deceitful person.

but-

it doesn’t matter,

Anyway, with the characters of Luffy and Zoro, they should become friends soon.

Since fate has brought them together, it is enough to form a new “Luffy Group” to explore the great route.

“Wait, everyone.”

At this moment, a navy came over. Unlike ordinary soldiers who used knives and guns, he carried a huge ax on his back.

“I’m Marine Lieutenant Monka, and I’m currently hunting down the Black Cat Pirates.”

This navy has a simple and honest appearance, serious and serious, and looks like a normal navy who has been promoted by virtue of his blood and bravery.

“I heard that both of you are strong bounty hunters, and I hope to get your help: as long as you can catch the Black Cat Pirates, all the bounties will belong to you.”

“Sorry, we’re about to challenge Hawkeye—”

“The ‘Eagle Eye’ Mihawk of His Majesty Shichibukai?”

After receiving Sauron’s acknowledgment, the second lieutenant named Monka frowned,

“Impossible, our navy has not received any information that he appeared in the East China Sea. However, if you are serious, I will accompany you to confirm: this was originally the job of our navy.”

If a big man like Hawkeye really reaches the East China Sea, the Navy will naturally have to prepare early:

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not fighting the opponent, but avoiding his route.

Otherwise, if he was hacked to death, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

‘Eagle Eye’ Mihawk is such a top swordsman!
