Chapter 36 Bounty Hunter Kino: The Unspoken Rules of Bounty Exchange
Inviting others onto the ship naturally requires the consent of the person involved.
Sophia decided to probe Aria's intentions further, so she looked at Roya and asked, "What are we going to do today?"
"Let's redeem the bounty, then see if there are any shops selling potions or recipes. We'll go to the food street in the evening," Roya said casually.
They weren't in a hurry to get going, and they didn't need to finish everything at once.
Enjoy the atmosphere of the food carnival and the various delicacies available.
"Mm." Sophia nodded.
After breakfast, the two greeted Mrs. Mars and Arya, who were busy in the kitchen, and then left together.
The two first returned to the dock and circled the Velvet ship. After finding no strange markings, they went back to the cabin and took the black box containing the pirate's head.
The naval base is not located in the town, but in another deep-water bay.
The town only had some sentry posts set up to allow patrolling marines to rest or to temporarily detain drunken and troublesome sailors.
The naval base can be reached quickly by water, but recently, due to the food carnival, that area is closed to all vessels except naval ships.
Violators will be given a warning shot, and if they insist on continuing to force their way through, they will be sunk.
Roya and Sophia could only travel by land, which required passing through Sugar Town and walking for an hour along a rugged mountain road to reach the naval base.
Both Luo Ya and his companion were superhumans, and they moved very quickly, so they could easily return to town before lunchtime.
The two of them chose the shortest route, passing through various narrow alleys, to quickly reach the outskirts.
But this time, without Arya by their side, they were quickly taken for a fool.
Five shady-looking figures blocked their path, and three more figures surrounded them from behind.
Luo Ya glanced at the people surrounding him from the front and back, his eyes immediately filled with disappointment. Apart from the leader, who was an apprentice superhuman, the other seven were just ordinary people.
"Hand over all the money, and that black box." The leader, a man with large, round eyes and missing three or five teeth, spoke with a lisp, but still brandished a machete menacingly.
Roya stretched his wrists, preparing to show these bandits his newly mastered basic swordsmanship.
"Wait a moment."
A voice rang out from above.
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure appear on a rooftop.
It was a young man with a purple ponytail, wearing a gray cloak that fluttered in the wind, and a rapier could be seen hanging at his waist.
"Sir, I had my eye on Flounder Kate first. Could you let me have him?" the cloaked man asked Roya in a low voice.
"Whatever." Roya shrugged; he didn't want to fight an apprentice-level superhuman.
"Bounty hunter Kino, run!" Flounder Kate, the leader of this gang of thugs who were robbing people on the road, recognized the cloaked man and immediately shouted before turning and running away.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately fled together.
The surrounding alleys are narrow and complicated, and it is easy for non-locals to get lost.
The cloaked man first thanked Roya, then pushed off with his foot, his figure shooting towards the fleeing flounder Kate.
On the rooftop, he wouldn't get confused at all by the alleyways.
"what!"
The cloaked man descended from the sky and stomped him to the ground.
The henchmen who fled with Flounder Kate changed their expressions drastically, as they knew very well that their boss was an apprentice superhuman.
The boss was subdued without even putting up a fight; this bounty hunter is probably a true superhuman.
He quickly dropped his weapon and raised his hands in surrender.
A handful of seeds appeared in the cloaked man's hand. The seeds quickly hatched and transformed into ropes, which bound up flounder Kate and his two henchmen.
At this moment, the other escapees also obediently came over, their faces bruised and swollen, having suffered a lot.
It was Roya and Sophia who stopped the group and gave them a good beating.
"Thank you for giving me the flounder Kate. My name is Kino, and I'm a bounty hunter." Kino chuckled and thanked Roya.
"Don't mention it. How much is his bounty?" Roya asked curiously.
"Five gold coins, enough for me to drink at that shady bar for days," Kino shrugged.
He tilted his head and asked, "You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
"No, we haven't seen him." Roya shook his head without changing his expression.
"Really? Then I might have mistaken you for someone else." Kino didn't mind and strung the ropes around the wrists of the eight people together.
Then, with a serious expression, he said to Flounder Kate, "Let's go, come with me to the naval base."
Knowing that his group had failed, Halibut Kate walked ahead dejectedly.
Roya and Sophia were on their way to the naval base, so they traveled together.
During the conversation on the way, I learned that Kino was not a local, but a visitor from the Royal City Sea. He was a seasoned foodie who came to the Food Island by boat after learning that the island was holding a food festival.
The expenses during this period were high, which made him short of money. He could only occasionally work as a bounty hunter. Because he always carried a rapier, the name "Quick Sword Kino" became famous.
"Is the cost of living in Fresh Sugar Town really that high?" Luo Ya wondered.
First, there was the superhuman Aria who set up a stall and worked as a hotel waitress because she was short of money, and then there was the superhuman Kino who made a cameo appearance as a bounty hunter.
"It's enough for normal expenses." Kino's eyes darted around, and he gave Roya a knowing look.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ya immediately understood.
"By the way, are you also going to the naval base? Are you exchanging bounties?" Kino noticed the black box Sophia was carrying and asked curiously.
"Yes." The two nodded.
Kino stroked his chin. "Do you know the rules for redeeming bounties?"
Two pairs of bewildered eyes looked at them. Neither Roya nor Sophia were exchanging bounties with the Navy for the first time, so they naturally didn't know the rules.
Kino realized that Roya and Kino were both complete novices, and he immediately explained, "A bounty isn't a life-or-death warrant. Capturing a wanted criminal alive will get you the full reward. If you kill the criminal and cut off their head, you can still get the reward, but you'll only get half of it."
This is why Kino, despite being able to stomp on Kat the Flounder and cut off his head, held back.
Kate the flounder, who was walking ahead, felt a chill and instinctively shrank her neck.
"Half? That's outrageous!" Sophia immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
"There's nothing I can do about it; that's how the bounty is redeemed," Kino shrugged.
Then he snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "However, I have a way to get you the full bounty, as long as you give me 10% of it."
Roya did not agree. He would not easily trust someone he had just met. He would wait until he arrived at the naval base and learned about the specific situation before making any plans.
Kino didn't say anything more and just shrugged.
Because of the delay caused by Flounder Kate and her group, it took Roya and her group more than fifty minutes to reach the naval base.
