"No matter what, the fact that I can give you a hunter-specific revolver is enough to show that the other party recognizes your strength."
Zoro lowered his body slightly, holding the scabbards of the three samurai swords at his waist with his right hand, and smiled excitedly: "I originally thought that I would never meet professional hunters in the East China Sea, but I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected harvest when I came to a restaurant... Hey, let's fight.
Let’s have one!”
"Not interested."
Sanji showed an impatient look on his face: "There are so many pirates like you who follow the trail. Everyone hopes to defeat me to prove that they are capable of being superior to [Hunters] or from Hunters."
The association is here to grab the benefits. Don’t be ridiculous, Green Algae Head, I have no obligation to play games with you. Okay, I have to entertain other guests, please do what you want."
After saying that, Sanji turned around and "floated" towards the other young beauties who had just entered the restaurant, showing his hospitality.
Karina looked at Zoro worriedly, fearing that this guy would do something irrational. She and Luffy both knew Zoro's purpose of going to sea - to find and challenge 'Eagle Eye' Mihawk, and this world
The strongest swordsman has joined Coral two years ago. In the past two years, the dragon has been extremely difficult to find. I am afraid that only by becoming a [Hunter] can we use the Hunter Association to obtain enough intelligence and resources to find the world's most powerful swordsman.
Strong swordsman.
As for challenging Sanji, presumably it is so that after defeating the opponent, he can be qualified to ask the other party to use the Hunter Association's intelligence network to help him find the Hawkeye, right? Although it is very nonsensical, it is the most suitable plan at present.
But Sanji has encountered too many people in these years who have challenged him recklessly, wasting time and messing up the restaurant business. This is very difficult for Sanji who wants to help Zhuofu revitalize and expand the sea restaurant Barati.
There is absolutely no benefit to him, and over time Sanji will become insensitive to such challenges. If the other party is really persistent or intends to commit murder, Sanji will teach the other party a good lesson.
Putting aside Sanji for the time being, Zoro was not angry after being rejected, but sat down at the dining table and fell into deep thought.
I was a little reckless just now. If I was reckless, I would find someone to provoke me. It would be okay if I was still alone like half a month ago, but now I am a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. I will see a strong person like this again.
Going forward to challenge will only bring more trouble to the captain. Now that you have sworn to join the Straw Hat Pirates, you must do your best to fulfill your responsibilities and make no mistakes!
"Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now. This won't happen again in the future."
Zoro suddenly said solemnly to Luffy across the table.
Luffy responded to Zoro with a smile on his face. Usopp and Karina looked at each other with a relieved smile.
"[Coral] and [Hunter]...you can often hear these names even in Xiluobu Village."
After all, Usopp has stayed in his hometown from birth to growing up and has never gone to sea. He really can’t understand any cutting-edge information by relying on the East China Sea special edition newspaper dug out of the trash can: "Karina, you know the best about this information.
, what kind of organizations are these?”
In Usopp's mind, Coral and the Hunter Association are probably no different from the Pirates, except that they are more powerful.
Luffy also looked curious, and although Zoro knew something about the Hunter Association, he was basically confused about coral.
"You guys...you don't know anything and you still dare to become pirates? This is common sense that you should know!"
Karina was speechless and could only explain to the three people: "[Coral] is the most powerful and richest chamber of commerce in the world. It is said that it controls 20% of the world's berries and owns many huge industries around the world.
, and its influence spreads across all major countries. But in fact, the predecessor of Coral is the mafia known in the West Sea, and it did not begin to transform until a few years ago. Oh, by the way, the "World Economic News" we have always subscribed to is also one of Coral's industries."
"The [Hunter Association] is a huge organization that all bounty hunters and neutral forces in the world rely on. Almost every major country has a branch of the Hunter Association, and all bounty hunters and neutral people with ideals, ambitions, and abilities
They will all choose to hang under the banner of the Hunters Association."
"In the past two years, the Hunters Association has gradually replaced the world government and navy in the wanted and exchange business for bounty criminals. More and more people choose to hand over bounty criminals to the Hunters Association in exchange for points and money, and the Hunters Association is responsible for the wanted bounties.
The standards are also different from those of the Navy, which has its own set of strict screening criteria."
"Although the Navy and the World Government insist on issuing bounty orders, now everyone is no longer based on the bounty orders issued by the World Government as before. Those adventurers who are named 'pirates' can also be more free.
sailed across the sea."
Luffy and the others had expressions on their faces that seemed to understand, and they could only nod.
"Is there any friction between the two? Or cooperation or something?" Usopp suddenly raised his hand and asked.
"ha?"
"I mean, two such powerful forces are spread across major countries. They are either incompetent or working together...right, right?" Usopp stuttered more and more as he spoke, because not only Karina, but also
Zoro's expression was very surprised.
Karina considered the words and said: "...Well, in fact, it is absolutely impossible for these two forces to 'oppose', and the so-called 'cooperation' is also impossible. Because both [Coral] and [Hunter Association]
If they belong to the same person, how can there be any distinction between opposition and cooperation between the left and right hands?"
"Same, same person??" Luffy and Usopp's eyes widened. According to the previous description, either of these two forces can challenge the navy, but they actually belong to the same leader?
"'Maleficent Chain' Maffia Victor."
Karina blushed and took out a carefully folded newspaper clipping from the deep groove on her chest with a V-shaped neckline and spread it out on the table. This was a photo cut from the newspaper of an extremely handsome blond man.
Eye-catching. Her voice was full of longing: "There is no doubt that this era belongs to the 'Fierce Chain', everyone says so. Ah... Lord Fierce Chain, I really want to get his autograph."
"
Luffy looked at the photo, and his usually cheerful and indifferent baby face became serious at this moment: "Is this guy... very strong?"
"More than just being strong, he stands at the top of the world and overlooks everyone."
Karina shook her head: "The Vicious Chain was born eight years ago. He has experienced hundreds of battles since he went to sea and has never been defeated. The Coral and Hunter Associations were also established by him. In terms of personal combat power, even as a
[Sea Emperor]'s 'hundred beasts' were all killed by him in the Great Channel with his own hands, and 'White Beard' and 'Red Hair' could only stand still and watch him continue to expand his power. The Navy and the World Government even shrunk their forces to keep up with him.
Confrontation, now people are saying that Fierce Lian is the candidate closest to the [Throne]."
"throne?"
"The throne of the King of the Sea!" Karina's beautiful big eyes were full of awe: "And it seems that it seems in the newspapers recently..."
Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden commotion outside the restaurant.
