Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 590: Fooling, and more fooling (24)

Straw Hat Pirates:
[Captain]: "Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy, East China Sea, battle record omitted, bounty 1 million Baileys.

[Combatant]: "Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, East China Sea, bounty 8000 million berries.

[Navigator]: "Little Cat Thief" Nami, East China Sea, bounty 2000 million berries.

[Sniper]: Usopp, East China Sea, bounty 4000 million Beli.

[Ship's Doctor]: Tony Tony Chopper, Grand Line, bounty 100 Beli.

[Chef]: Sanji, Donghai, bounty 0.

"Pfft..."

Seeing that Chopper, the cute little guy who could beat CP9 after turning violent, had a bounty of only 100, Ron felt very upset and couldn't help laughing.

Especially when he saw that Sanji's bounty was still 0, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, noticing Zhan Guo's complaining look, Ron opened his mouth to explain: "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry Marshal, why is there a reward of 100 Baileys?"

100 Baileys!

Going out to buy a pack of cigarettes costs more than this, okay? !
Who would take a 100-Beli bounty to exchange for a reward? Not only would it be embarrassing, but even if they sold it by the pound, it would be more than that!

It is true that the current bounty of the Straw Hat Pirates has increased a lot compared to the original work, but Chopper's 100 Baileys bounty is incredible...

"The Magnetic Drum Kingdom... No, it should be called the Sakura Kingdom now."

Sengoku glared at him unkindly and said, "After being defeated, the former King Walpo started an alloy business, and finally used his influence to contact the top government officials, hoping to increase the bounty on the Straw Hat Pirates."

"But he was reluctant to spend money, so he only gave the raccoon a symbolic 100 Baileys. That's how you saw it."

Ron understood immediately.

It must be that Valpo used his alloy business as a bargain with the government, and the government agreed to increase the reward, but he had to pay the excess himself...

But Valpo was reluctant. Why should he pay for his enemy?
So, in a rage... he put up a 100-dollar bounty on Chopper.

At least it’s higher than the 50 Baileys in the original book!
Not bad... what a ghost!

"Hahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Is he here to make people laugh?!"

A good inspirational film was turned into a comedy. Valpo is also very poisonous!
"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here to watch a joke!"

Zhan Guo waved his hand impatiently, cursing Garp in his heart, and said seriously: "I want you to see the latter one."

"later?"

Ron hesitated for a second, turned the page, and then his eyes became serious.

[Location unknown]: "Devil's Child" Nico Robin, an orphan from O'Hara in the West Sea, with a bounty of 7800 million Baileys.

"So, it has been confirmed that Nico Robin will join the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Ron narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the table.

"why?"

In the photo, Nico Robin is sitting on the deck of the Merry basking in the sun. It is unknown what she said that made Sanji, the pervert, bleed from his nose. Next to her is Chopper, who has a shocked look on his face, and Luffy, who is laughing.

As the background, Zoro was sleeping leaning on the railing, and in the distance was the endless sea.

And the last person, Nami, is not in the picture... There is no doubt that this little thief is the one who took the photo.

"I don't know, that's exactly why I asked you to come here."

Sengoku said solemnly: "Although I don't want to treat you specially, the threat to the government from Monkey D. Luffy and his group has been increasing."

"From the beginning, when they started to fight small battles, to the time when they cleared up the chaos of pirates in Alabasta, their strength and influence have continued to grow rapidly."

"Now add Nico Robin! Tell the truth, Ron...if I ask you to kill them all, would you agree?"

This is a murderous intention!
Even though I know Luffy is Garp's grandson!

"Silly question!"

Ron smiled and said, "Have you ever seen me show mercy to Ace's men back then?"

All the original members of the Spade Pirates died in the thunderstorm. Only Ace relied on his elemental advantage and was arrested by Ron himself.

Thinking of this, Ron felt a dull pain in his wrists.

There is no doubt that the day of his brief fight with Shanks was the most embarrassing day in Ron's life.

In order to escape, he even used thunderclouds to cut off his hands in order to break free from the seastone handcuffs.

What he showed Shanks was moving awareness and cruelty, but what he himself saw was shame!

"So the reason you came to me is..."

"No, that's not necessary for now. There are more worthy people to be wary of than the Straw Hat Pirates."

Ron's eyes narrowed.

"Dragon!" If you want to know why Robin appeared in Alabasta, apart from Bear, who was the only one who knew the answer, the next one would undoubtedly be Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, who was sentenced to death for two years in LV.6 Thunder Hell!
"You should go there in person for this matter, Ron."

"You don't need to ask too many questions, just give us a direction to investigate."

"If not..."

There was a trace of struggle in Sengoku's eyes: "We must not let Luffy become the next 'Fire Fist' Ace!"

What Sengoku saw in the Straw Hat Pirates' ever-increasing threat assessment was a "talent" like Ace, the kind of "ability" that could shine in the hands of the Three Emperors.

If Luffy also becomes a subordinate of one of the Three Emperors, it will be like a major earthquake for the navy.

Garp's reputation as a "navy hero" will be tarnished as a result.

Especially since Luffy had an unclear relationship with Shanks ten years before he set out to sea, this possibility was infinitely magnified.

"I understand."

Ron nodded, knowing the seriousness of the problem.

For now, the Straw Hat Pirates are not a concern. As long as they are not killed by the plot, any vice admiral of the headquarters has enough strength to suppress them.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Sengoku being more concerned about the movements of the Revolutionary Army than the Straw Hat Pirates.

"But I think I can ask Bear about this... I feel like there's something I've overlooked."

……

After leaving the office, Ron was about to return to the underground base of the assassination team when he suddenly met someone at the corner.

"General Aokiji? Why are you here?"

This place has been designated as a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter except Ron and related personnel.

Then, Ron slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. You don't know yet?"

"The auction has been moved to the Martial Arts Square. From now on, this will be the base for our assassination team."

"No, of course I know about that kind of thing... Actually, I came here to see you, Ron."

After the battle with the Big Mom Pirates, Aokiji did not participate in the New World War in order to maintain balance and stayed at the headquarters. So if you pay a little attention, you can easily find the truth about the massive construction of the martial arts square.

After that, Aokiji stood up from the wall, ruffled his hair, and said, "It's about Jason."

"Oh?"

Ron narrowed his eyes, as if he understood something.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go to my house and talk."

……

In the "Cockscomb" courtyard area, which is exclusively used by the generals of this unit, at Ron's home.

"Sorry, I haven't been back for a long time. The only beer in the refrigerator hasn't gone bad... Just drink it."

Putting a can of beer on the table, Ron opened one for himself and took a sip with relish in the late summer sun.

"Ton ton ton...hiccup!"

"Comfortable!"

Ron burped contentedly, picked up the shrimp as a snack with his fingers and put it into his mouth, and asked, "I wonder what Admiral Aokiji wants to talk to me about? Hasn't Jason's case been resolved?"

Looking at the gout set meal in front of him, Aokiji's mouth twitched... He is worthy of being the Immortal Vice Admiral, even the side dishes are so unique!
Hearing Ron's question, he took a sip of his wine and asked after a moment, "Jason doesn't have to die, right?"

"Yes, you don't have to die, but it's more useful to die."

Ron didn't hesitate and answered truthfully.

"I feel honored and relieved that you can come and talk to me alone..."

"You don't have to be so kind, do you?"

Aokiji fell silent upon hearing this, and suddenly rubbed his hair in distress.

"So I want to become a marshal and change all this... I really can't accept sacrificing some people."

"But you have to accept it!"

Ron said without denying it: "I understand your idea. You believe that people with different positions will have different opinions on 'justice' and it will change with their positions, so you will not question the 'justice' of others... This is your 'leisurely justice'."

"But have you ever thought that this idea is too narrow-minded and selfish?"

"Selfish?"

Aokiji raised his head and asked, "Why do you say that?"

The chance to change Aokiji's fate has finally come!

Ron smiled slightly and started thinking, preparing to use his eloquence to fool... no, convince Aokiji.
