Chapter 1322: Going to sea for so many years and spending so much money
Regardless of the possibility of being purchased for zero dollars at any time, pirates are actually the most favorite customer group of merchants.
After all, we are doing a business without capital. It is easy to get money and happy to spend it.
In addition, "Gaya Island" itself is an illegal place that only pirates visit, and almost all materials here are several times or even more than ten times more expensive than other islands.
The biggest demand in pirate gathering places is wine, meat and beautiful women, followed by firearms and swords. The demand for waterproof paint is really not big, and few merchants specialize in this category.
Luo Jie took "Boya Hancock" and "Red Silk" around almost half of the town before he found the waterproof paint he needed in an inconspicuous small grocery store.
Before she even stepped out of the grocery store door, "Boya Hancock"'s red lips curled up in a cold arc.
"A bunch of idiots are here to die."
Luo Jie could naturally hear the murderous intention in her words that seemed to be muttering to herself, so he took the initiative to slow down and give up the first place at the front.
The sword is most intimidating when it is in its scabbard, and the captain who does not take action is the most awesome.
After going to sea for so many years, spending so much money, and raising so many people, isn't it just to keep it for today?
Outside the grocery store, more than a thousand pirates have surrounded the place. Judging from the scattered but grouped formation, it is obvious that they belong to seven or eight pirate groups.
You don't need to guess to know that it must be the "Executioner, Rossio" who has come to seek revenge. It can only be said that he is a local snake who has been entrenched in "Magic Valley Town" for many years. He can recruit so many people to help him in a short period of time. This alone
The connections alone are enough for a bounty of 42 million.
The aborigines in the town seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of battle. They calmly packed up their belongings, closed windows and doors, put up iron sheets and wooden boards for reinforcement, and left the clean streets to the pirates as a battlefield.
A long-faced man with a toad's mouth and tattoos on his arms walked out surrounded by a group of pirates. The gloomy eyes under his forehead swept across Luo Jie and the three people who were covered in robes, and said in a sinister manner: "It's you.
Killed several of my men?"
Is this the "Executioner Rossio" himself? Sure enough, the villain's face is recognizable.
"If no one else admits it, it's us."
Luo Jie's casual attitude angered all the pirates. A pirate who looked like a loyal younger brother jumped out, pointed the tip of his knife at Luo Jie and his party, and shouted: "Are you blind? You didn't see that when you entered the town.
Is it a big sign? Those are the rules our boss sets for all pirates who come to "Magic Valley Town"!"
"There is really no tiger in the mountain. Monkeys are kings, and even a small fish with a bounty of 42 million dares to set rules for others..."
With a wave of his hand, a mass of substance-like mist condensed into a pure white throne and high platform, holding up Luo Jie and the "Red Silk" beside him, slowly rising into the air, overlooking all the living beings below.
It's a pity that I forgot to bring a bowl of instant noodles, otherwise it would be a blast.
"Hancock, teach them what our rules are."
Before "Executioner Rossio" and hundreds of pirates could recover from the shock, "Boya Hancock" had already lifted off the robe used to hide his identity, and his unparalleled beauty instantly attracted everyone.
In the sight of everyone present.
"It's over! She's the empress of the Shichibukai! But - she's so beautiful!"
The pink heart-shaped light "Sweet Sweet Wind" illuminated the entire place, and the streets were instantly silent.
Except for "Executioner Rossio" who immediately stabbed his thigh with a knife and used the pain to divert his attention, hundreds of other pirates were all turned into gray and white stone statues of different shapes.
Luo Jie's eyes were instantly flooded with hundreds of kill reminders, and his points jumped by five digits.
Plop!
The "Executioner Rossio" who was dripping with cold sweat knelt on the ground, lowered his head and trembled and said: "I don't know if Lord Nightmare came to this town, how could he be offended... I am willing to donate all my belongings, and everyone will join the "Harem Pirates"
Group", let the adults drive you."
Upon hearing this, "Boya Hancock" stopped the full "Captive Arrow" and turned her beautiful eyes to Luo Jie on the floating throne, obviously waiting for his final decision.
However, the moment "Boya Hancock" turned his head, "Executioner Rossio", who was still timid, suddenly burst out and threw out a steel wire lasso in his hand, accurately trapping "Boya Hancock".
Ya Hancock's slender neck.
"Wow! This is a noose mixed with Sea Tower Stone powder, specially designed to restrain Devil Fruit users!" "Executioner Rossio" laughed arrogantly, suddenly tightened the rope in his hand, and said viciously: "What the hell?
What a bullshit harem pirate group? Isn’t it just a pretty boy with a good family background who uses his unique talent to trick a few girls into playing pirate games! If you can trick the “Empress” into following you, you are really lucky!
——Now that the "Empress" is in my hands, why don't you get off your back, kneel down and cry to me, maybe I will let you die quickly!"
After some crazy venting, "Executioner Rossio" suddenly felt that something was not right.
Luo Jie on the Cloud Throne did not react in the slightest panic, but looked down at him with a look of pity.
"I'll give you, this frog in the well, some free knowledge. In this ocean, in addition to "Devil Fruits", there is also an ability system called "Haki"... Of course, I guess you won't need this knowledge in the future."
"Executioner Rossio"'s long face instantly turned pale, and he turned his head stiffly like a rusty machine. Only to see "Boya Hancock" staring at him coldly, with a noose covering his neck.
A layer of pitch black color.
"Empress...Empress, if...I said that it was just a joke to test the popularity of Night Dire, and that this rope was a gift to you, would you believe it?"
"Boya Hancock" casually broke the wire noose around his neck, and the dark palm wrapped in "Armed Haki" pinched the neck of "Executioner Rossio" and pulled the nearly two-meter-tall strong man
Lift with one hand.
The unique gray-white color of the stone spread from under the palm of "Boya Hancock" and quickly covered most of the face of "Executioner Rossio". The latter struggled in fear, but only felt that the air and sound were gradually
keep away.
"The only thing you do right, you idiot, is to praise your husband for his handsomeness and might... Therefore, I have decided not to pursue the offense you just committed against me, but only to punish you for the crime of disrespect towards my husband."
Click!
The completely petrified neck was crushed with one hand, and the head of "Executioner Rossio" fell to the ground and rolled several meters away, with the fear and despair before death permanently preserved on his face.
[You killed "Executioner Rossio" and obtained 20,000 points. 】
Only 20,000 points?
Sure enough, the 42 million bounty was all accumulated by the number of subordinates...
Luo Jie curled his lips, picked up the lifelike stone head, and threw it to the "Red Silk" behind him.
"Take it, go back and find a place where the bounty agency is to exchange money."
Pirates cannot use other pirates' heads to collect bounties through formal channels, so the profession of "bounty intermediary" was born, which is usually undertaken by innocent pirate hunters or ordinary people. In the Navy
After receiving the corresponding bounty, it will be divided according to a certain proportion with the person who provided the pirate's body.
The Navy is actually aware of the existence of this phenomenon, but has always turned a blind eye to this illegal operation.
After all, in terms of results, it does reduce the number of pirates, and it can further instigate internal conflicts among pirates, prompting more pirates to engage in large-scale mergers for high bounties.
When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.
Relying on a small bounty to kill the pirates scurrying around like rats is much cheaper than sending out large numbers of troops to attack them.
Thanks to the complete bounty system, the navy can concentrate its forces to deter the big pirates that have become established when the number of people is far less than the pirates, and maintain relative peace in the countries that join the World Government.
