The Great Voyage: A Family of Two Swordsmen, the Younger Brother is Golden Lion

057: Rocks' Wrath, a Sudden Change in Wind, Target Lingling

Time flies, and a week has passed.

The Rocks Pirates have become the most prominent pirate crew in the New World.

The pirate crew's headquarters are located on the island of Hatchinos.

On Pirate Island, several hundred pirates gathered together, all looking excited and eager to try their luck.

Today is a big day for them.

Because this is the Rocks Pirates' recruitment day!

As long as you pass the assessment, you can become an intern in the Rocks Pirates, and those with strong abilities can even become officers.

In the end!

Of course, we should latch onto Rocks' coattails!

"See that? That man on the captain's throne is Rocks! He's the world's number one bounty hunter! The man Mary Geoise has defined as the world's most evil man! The great pirate whose head is worth 1.24 billion Berries!"

"I came here because of its reputation; I want to join the Rocks Pirates! Even from afar, I can feel a strong sense of oppression!"

"After all, he's the world's most vicious man!!"

And so it is.

As a newsbird flew over Hatchinos.

The ball of the foot loosened.

Newspapers and arrest warrants rained down like a shower of flowers.

The pirates picked it up and took a look.

The way he looked at Rocks changed noticeably.

"No way! The newspapers say that the Kazan-Shiki brothers' Flying Pirates are more threatening than the Rocks Pirates! That can't be true!"

"Look, the Kazan brothers killed three Vice Admirals of the '903' Marine Corps on Sabaody Archipelago, and then turned around and destroyed half of the Marine Headquarters. These are photos from the scene; a huge area was destroyed!"

"And what's more! 1.44 billion Berries..."

“飞空海贼团船长，卡赞的赏金居然达到了14亿4000万贝里！史基的赏金也达到了8亿2000万贝里！还有一个夏琪，赏金也达到5亿贝里......”

"These three members of the Flying Pirates alone have 28.5 billion Berries...!!!"

"Wow! This bounty seems unreal!"

"Captain Kazan is worth 2 million Berries more than Rocks!!!"

Suddenly.

The entire city of Hatchinos went into a frenzy because of this newspaper.

Among the hundreds of pirates.

Some people came because they wanted to curry favor with Rocks.

But now?

It seems some people have realized that the Flying Pirates have a stronger backer!

"These two brothers are now very famous!"

"Did the Rocks Pirates ever cause trouble at Marineford? I don't think so..."

Many pirates thought of this without prior agreement.

...

He sat on the captain's throne.

Rocks, of course, also heard the discussions of the pirates in the distance.

He casually asked, "Newgate, what's your opinion?"

"Gulala lala—"

"Kazan and Shiki, what incredible pirates! They actually dare to oppose the Marine Headquarters! Their bounty changes are always astonishing! Gurararara—"

Newgate grinned as he answered, laughing.

Upon hearing Newgate's answer, Lockes looked visibly disappointed and didn't ask any further questions.

Newgate, that kid, is a monster in combat, but he's pretty dull-witted.

Have you ever seen a pirate send money back to his hometown?

Newgate is...

Unlike Lox, he thought more deeply.

The fact that the Kazan brothers destroyed Marineford demonstrates that their ambition, courage, and combat prowess far surpassed those of other pirates of their time. Such villains were undoubtedly the kind of talent Rocks needed most to build his power.

Moreover, Lox had long been aware of the extraordinary nature of the Kazan brothers.

They just haven't found the opportunity to recruit!

Who would have thought that just a year after they officially set sail, they would become one of the navy's biggest enemies?

but.

Taking advantage of the destruction of Marineford, the Marine Headquarters made the most correct response, utilizing the complex relationships among pirate forces at sea, and using a bounty to use one force against another, achieving a precise balance of power like a scalpel.

Yes.

The navy used a bounty to directly divide the sea into two dominant wind directions!

Rocks!

Kazan!

Choose a well-established villain with a low bounty?

Or should we choose the villain with the highest bounty in the new era?

Rocks might not care about the bounty, but the other pirates on the high seas do...

no doubt.

With the appearance of this high bounty, the landscape of the ocean will also change.

and so.

Those people in the Navy are using their resources to create problems for Rocks!

"A calculated scheme!"

After guessing the Navy Headquarters' plan.

Rocks felt a surge of anger and was already considering how to take revenge on the Navy.

Just then, a voice came.

"Hula haha!"

"Boss Rocks, the intelligence on Charlotte Linlin is ready!"

"Her pirate crew is currently in a sea area called Mokovich!"

Wang Zhi swaggered in, carrying a prepared intelligence report.

That's right.

Wang Zhi has led his more than 700 brothers to join the Rocks Pirates.

Furthermore, he himself has already been involved in some affairs within the group.

"Gurukutsu—"

Silver Axe pushed aside his silver mask and stuffed a large lump of meat into his mouth.

John, bottle in hand, opened his mouth wide and began gulping down the liquor: "Glug glug—"

Wang Zhi suddenly said, "Boss Rocks, here you go!"

Mokovich waters?

Rocks: "Yes, my ship must not miss any villains on the high seas! Any information on high-reward bounties must be reported to me!"

Wang Zhi: "Oh! Boss Lox, then we..."

Charlotte Linlin has a monstrous physique and is known as a natural destroyer. Her initial gold bounty after the age of 6 was 5000 million Berries. Although it took her a long time to reach 1.9 million, she is definitely a promising newcomer.

They just lack a guide.

Such newcomers have great potential and are worth recruiting.

Lockes looked at the intelligence report, his thumb circling across the paper.

"Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, you two go and bring Charlotte Lingling to see me!"

"Newgate, go find Kazan and tell him I want to see the brothers!"

We absolutely cannot allow our forces on the high seas to be scattered; we must capture them all without missing a single one!
