Sure enough, a few days later, Crowe handed Clow a telegram, a portrait, and a photo of only the back.
There is no photo, but it was painted by a skilled artist who the CP organization paid a high price to find the person who was at the location where the pirate group appeared.
Because according to others, the person involved hated taking pictures, so no one took photos of him. The only photo left was a group photo on a pirate ship when he was young.
In that photo, a group of pirates were laughing wantonly, but among the pirates, there was a man hidden in the crowd, with his back on his back and his head slightly tilted, only revealing his blond hair and the outline of his side.
The person in the portrait looks like a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He is not very old. He is wearing a luxurious captain's uniform and a white scarf. His blond hair is combed back, with a few strands on each side of his forehead.
It looks quite impressive.
At this time, in the upper office of the Golden Yang, Kuro put down the photo on his hand and looked at the report, "This is very interesting."
He tapped the page of the telegram with his fingers and said: "There is at least evidence that he appeared in three pirate groups. They were all pointed out by the townspeople who had encountered those pirate groups, but each time the names were different.
no the same."
"Yes, Mr. Clow."
Crow standing in front of him pushed up his blind glasses and said: "The first pirate group he joined, which is the pirate in the photo, is the [Water Monster Pirate Group]. I have heard of this pirate group in the East China Sea before.
The reward was not high, 3 million or 4 million, but it was still somewhat famous. In the end, there was no information, and I thought it was eliminated by the sea. At that time, Sam William’s alias was Henry Morgan.
The new pirate on that pirate ship.”
"The second pirate group with evidence is the [Cotton Jack] pirate group, which is not very famous. The only commendable deed is that he formed an alliance with two other female pirate captains at that time. Other than that, there is no other pirate group.
.Sam William’s alias was Bartholomew Roberts. Less than a year after he joined, the pirate group disappeared.”
"The third one is a bit more powerful, they are the [Red Beard Pirates]."
"I've heard of this." Kuro said: "It's notorious. This pirate group does everything from burning, killing, looting, but this pirate group can run away. I targeted it twice, but I didn't find it. In the end, I didn't find it.
News, I thought it was a shipwreck or something, but now it seems there is something wrong."
"Yes, Mr. Clow, Sam William's alias at the time was Lakeham John. This was also his last alias. After he joined this pirate group, the captain of the Red Beard Pirates, 'Red Beard' Baba
Rosa disappeared, and the next person born was Sam William. This name has been used for five years, and if nothing else happens, it should be his real name." Crowe said.
Kuro nodded, "That's why this report is interesting. Look, as a pirate, he swallowed up many pirate groups, killed the captains, and gathered their men. At the same time, he also accumulated a lot of money in places that were ravaged by pirates.
Prestige. Create a business group called [White Scarf]. The subordinates in the business group are civilians from places where pirates have wreaked havoc."
"Five years ago, Colonel Ferdinand, the base commander of Donghai Branch 121, died suddenly after this business group passed by."
"Four years ago, a fire broke out in the home of Lochie, a local wealthy man from Tsvetus Island, a partner of the White Scarf Business Group, and Lochie himself was killed in the flames."
"Three years ago, a great nobleman of the Babs Kingdom died, and the White Scarf Merchant Group also passed by. This kingdom was near the island of Sweets where Sam William was located. After that, Sam William
His reputation gradually rose in this kingdom, reaching the point of being a 'great hero'. People no longer looked to the king for protection, but instead turned to Sam William for asylum."
As he spoke, Kuro touched his chin and muttered: "This gives me the feeling of that crocodile."
But this report is not so one-sided, because what Kuro is looking for is Rob Lucci. If it is another CP organization, it may be enough to check here, but for a mission-oriented person like Lucci, it is definitely necessary to check the intelligence.
comprehensive.
This actually gave Kuro a different feeling.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the pirate group. The sea is full of gangsters and gangsters. Besides applauding and applauding, Kuro just drank tea and watched the show.
But the matter of Ferdinand, the base director of Donghai Branch 121, is worth talking about.
During the investigation, this guy is a private pirate!
He protected a pirate group. Within his jurisdiction, the pirates looted wantonly, but half of the money they looted had to be handed over to Ferdinand. It was not a transaction, but when the pirates looted, he would send troops.
Looking for the pirates, and then the two sides 'battled' all the way to the sea. Finally, the pirates left the treasure and ran away, while Ferdinand got the treasure and completed his duty of forcing the pirates back.
This matter was only discovered after his death. After all, the mysterious death of a colonel would certainly attract the attention of the headquarters. After multiple investigations, the murderer was not found, but what this person did was found. However, due to the impact, it was too bad.
It was too embarrassing for the navy, so this matter was concealed.
The rich man Rothschild has a nickname, "Skin-Skinner's Ghost", which means that no matter who passes by him, he will be skinned. He is a big landowner of Tsvetus Island, and the entire island belongs to him.
All the residents worked for him, but he exploited them so hard that the residents of Thwaites Island didn't have enough to eat. When they died in a fire, the whole island celebrated.
The nobles of Babus were even more outrageous. They took whatever they wanted within their own territory, participated in the slave trade, and increased taxes at will. In the end, they were killed on the way to escape because they failed in the struggle.
The people who died were all scum.
From this point of view, Sam William did okay, but judging from his subsequent actions.
"He almost has prestige, wealth, and power. Although he is only in one area, he has reached the pinnacle in this area. The prestige of a pirate cannot be so high that everyone in a kingdom loves him, and even that
This kind of madness was deliberately induced. Especially two years ago, the old king of the Babus Kingdom died, and the new king was a young and weak woman. From that time on, his reputation began to decline qualitatively.
rising."
Kuro chewed his cigar and exhaled the smoke, "This is to subvert the kingdom. This guy is Crocodile's type. He has huge ambitions and good mobility, but it's strange why he only sticks to one area.
. Damn it, how did this guy do it!"
His tone was a little sour.
This guy's deeds even made him envious!
How on earth did this guy do it, be so famous in one place, and end up being a king?
For the navy, if you have fame and strength, you will get a stable promotion. For pirates, if you have fame and strength, you will get a reward!
But this guy has not even had a reward for so many years!
The pirates under his banner are all blank slates with no bounties on their heads.
Apart from his identity as a pirate, Sam William's life is simply the life in Crow's dreams!
"I'm unhappy, I'm unhappy!"
Crow's face fell, he threw the report away and said to Crow: "Where is he now?"
Crowe shook his head: "I don't know the specific whereabouts at the moment, but he should still be in the East China Sea."
"Hand out a reward!"
Kuro gritted his teeth and said: "Notify the headquarters and get me a bounty! Who is that? How much is the bounty for the last pirate he killed?"
"Well, plus he has killed so many pirate groups, the level of danger is high, and he also intends to subvert the country, give him 100 million!" Kuro shouted.
"Mr. Clow, this is against the rules."
Crow pursed his lips, looked at Crow with an expression of jealousy on his face, and reminded: "This is the East China Sea."
There are 100 million pirates who debuted, but they are too rare, and they are basically in the New World.
When Crocodile debuted as a pirate, the first bounty was not 80 million, but after several experiences, it became 81 million, which is already considered very fast.
Empress Hancock's first reward was only 80 million, all of which was obtained by the Grand Line.
A pirate from the East China Sea offered a reward of 100 million for the first time, which was against the rules.
Kuro also realized that this didn't seem to be in compliance with the rules. He thought for a moment and said, "Thirty million, the same amount as the Straw Hat's first reward. Let the headquarters study his deeds and give him a title."
