People are full of pirates

Chapter 392 The strongest sea, the East China Sea
Time flies, white horses pass by.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.

……

Haiyuan calendar 1509, the end of winter.

The first half of the great route.

Whiskey Peak.

This is an island located at the starting point of the seven main routes. The mountain is steep and not suitable for human habitation, but it is better than the unique geographical location.

Not far to the east is the Upside Down Mountain and Twin Point Lighthouse.

There are groups of bounty hunters staying here all the year round, specializing in hunting the chicks who have just entered the great route. Most of the time, they can make a lot of money from these "naive" pirates.

As a result, various underground intelligence transactions prospered, and over time, a relatively prosperous commercial town developed on the island.

but.

In the past two years, the Whiskey Mountain has gradually shown signs of withering and desolation.

The large and small taverns in the city closed down one after another, and many pirate hunters who had lived here for a long time also left one after another and returned home sadly.

Up to now.

When the first snow of the year fell in the night, only the last few houses were still lit on the huge whiskey mountain.

On the dilapidated and desolate streets, not a single person could be seen.

Only the largest tavern in the city was full of people, and it was still lively.

Here, the last hundred or so bounty hunters gathered, and they gathered together in groups of three or four, drinking and carousing, laughing and crying, and bid farewell to each other;

Or drink alone in a corner, with a worried expression, worrying about the foggy and unknown future.

J.

tomorrow.

They will all officially set off, or return to their hometowns for the elderly, or go to other places to make a living.

Whiskey Mountain will also officially become an empty city.

"I never thought that this day would come so soon, Baia, Wen Na..."

At the corner of the bar, a thick and bearded man looked at his partners at the table for many years, and sighed with a wry smile:

"When I brought you to the great sea route, I agreed to kill [-] pirate groups, earn at least [-] billion rewards, and then return to the South China Sea, use the piles of Baileys to kill those who look down on us in the village. The guy's face is swollen!"

"It turned out that it's only been less than three years, and I've just saved more than [-] million Baileys, so I have to eat this meal. As the boss, I'm really useless..."

The bearded man had a bitter voice, and took a sip of his wine, recalling the bold words and lofty ambitions at the beginning, and the recent unwillingness, he almost shed tears.

"It's because the market has changed too fast, and it's not your fault, boss!"

The thin man opposite immediately comforted him, seeing the bearded man's depression, he was a little annoyed for a while, "If you want to blame it, you should also blame that Bailong Nuoxia, if he hadn't killed so hard in the past two years, he dared to go to sea There are fewer and fewer pirates, how could we have fallen to this point!"

He made a face to his companions on the other side, and they immediately understood, chattered, and followed suit:

"That's right! It's clearly that guy's fault!"

"When I was in the navy, although that guy was very murderous, he still knew how to restrain himself. After resigning, it will be good, and he will completely lose his restraint and scruples!"

"Two years ago, the great route started to kill. All the supernovas who were in the limelight that year were all wiped out. It made all the new generation of pirates that year be silent, and they became shrinking turtles. Don't dare to cause trouble, for fear that one day the bounty will accidentally exceed [-] million and you will be struck by lightning."

"I went to the South China Sea a year and a half ago, and it turned the world upside down! In a sea area where the average pirate strength is so strong, there are so many people who have been killed, and they haven't recovered yet."

The one who said this was a chunky hunter with a heartbroken expression on his face, "What do you mean you won't pick up? Even now, the pirate with the highest reward in the entire South China Sea is only [-] million Baileys!"

"As a result, the South China Sea is now being ridiculed as the weakest sea. Do you know how big a blow this is to a sea area that used to offer two tough men with a reward of nearly [-] million!"

"In the past year, among the more than [-] rookie pirates we have successfully hunted down, there is not a single one from the South China Sea! It's just tragic!"

"What about the West Sea? No matter how miserable the pirates are in the South China Sea, is it as miserable as the West Sea?"

The thin man on the opposite side immediately retorted, "When that bastard arrived in Xihai a year ago, except for the first two days of nostalgic visits to the base of the first branch he brought, he was either killing pirates every day after that, or On the way to find the Pirate Killer!"

"Insane, it's simply insane!"

"According to that method of killing, he would kill all the fish in the sea. How can there be so many pirates in the West Sea, enough for him to kill?"

"Originally there were more than [-] famous pirates in the West Sea! In less than half a year, there are only three left."

"Then this guy didn't feel like he was having enough fun, so he went to find trouble with those underworld families. The entire Xihai, the intertwined underground underworld forces, were almost uprooted, and they were killed in a hurry, even the royal family and nobles behind them were not spared. !"

"There are a lot of pirates who died in his hands, but those respectable gentlemen must have died at least a thousand times, right? It seems that even the real heir to the throne has killed more than a dozen, and it would have been a long time ago for someone else to die. I went to Mary Joya, but until now, neither the navy nor the world government has issued a reward, it's outrageous!"

"A reward? Hey? Who dares to offer him a reward? Forgot about what happened at the Navy Headquarters two years ago?"

The oldest white-haired old man snorted, "It's just that he resigned. The navy of the headquarters has hundreds of thousands, and the navies of various branches have hundreds of thousands. They protested and tossed for more than half a month, and there was almost a mutiny!"

"In the end, the World Government personally came forward to deprive Weier of his position and let Warring States take over. It was hard to appease him."

"And what he has done in the past two years, for us pirate hunters, it has ruined our jobs, but in the eyes of the people in the navy, it is to practice our own righteous way under heavy pressure!"

"Those young men in the navy worshiped him more and more as if they were possessed by a demon. Zefa Kap's reputation combined could not compare to him! Even branches in various places imitated him and resigned. , What kind of little idiot is doing chivalrous activities around."

The white-haired old man curled his lips, "If you offer a reward at this juncture, how much trouble do you think will cause again? Not to mention that the Navy headquarters has always let it go, turning a blind eye to it, and never thought about offering a reward. The world government wants to offer a reward, but do they dare to bet? Dare? Dare not!"

"..."

Everyone around was silent after what he said, and the thin man couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"By the way, what do you think, if that guy is really offered a bounty as a pirate one day, how high is the bounty?"

"Don't worry, that day is impossible."

The white-haired old man squinted at him and said, "Even if there is a reward, it's not something we can remember. In my opinion, there must be at least four billion Baileys!"

"Is it less?"

Immediately, some companions questioned, "Although that guy hasn't been to the New World in the past two years, he has beaten Kaido before and defeated BIGMOM!"

"Those two emperors of the sea, one with 46 billion Baileys and the other with 43 Baileys. If Bailong was offered a reward, they wouldn't be lowered by them, right? I think it would be better to have 50 billion Baileys!"

"Fool!"

The only female companion on the side couldn't help but tugged at his ears, "Use your brains! That old guy who claims to be the strongest man in the world is only 50 billion Baileys! Bailong isn't that strong yet, right? ?”

"Besides, the bounty is not simply based on personal combat power! It is based on the threat to the world government! Those sea emperors whose bounties are so high that they occupy a large area, and the powerful guys under their hands become heap?"

"Cut, what power is not powerful? If Bailong wants to gain his own territory and shout casually in the newspaper, at least tens of thousands of marines will go to him, right? Kaido and BIGMOM, who can compare ?”

"Hey... so, it seems to be..."

A table of people was arguing endlessly with the strength of alcohol, all of them were blushing and thick-necked, but there was roughly a consensus to guarantee the bottom line.

——That is, as long as Nuo Xia is offered a bounty, the bounty is the lowest, starting with four billion Baileys!
Absolute level of emperor of the sea.

and opposite them.

The bearded man, who was supposed to be comforted, stared dumbfounded at his companions talking about that man with great interest.

Dazed to hang himself in a corner, forgetting to the side.

Shouldn't it be the breakup meal now?
Why is it so inexplicable that it turned into a seminar on Bailong's life and deeds?
"but……"

Maybe that's fine too?

The bearded man looked at his partners who were talking more and more vigorously, and smiled silently, that's right, he was hypocritical in the first place, and he made the last reunion so sad.

It's so lively now, that's what a breakup meal should look like.

On the other hand, it was also because the man named Bailong was too charismatic and his life story was too legendary.

So no matter when, whenever someone starts, the topic around the other party will last for a long, long time without stopping...

"White Dragon..."

The bearded man lit a cigar, turned his head, looked at the snowflakes falling quietly under the moonlight outside the window, suddenly smiled and shook his head.

Although the other party ruined his job, his dream of saving a huge sum of money was completely shattered.

But I don't seem to hate him at all?
That's right, why did you go to sea to become a pirate hunter...

It's not that I can't live in my hometown on the coast, because there are heavy taxes and oppression by the nobles and lords inside, and there are pirates who come from time to time to plunder, burn and kill.

When he was young, he was forcibly stuffed into the water tank by his mother, and through the gap in horror and despair, he saw two shirtless pirates with scars all over their faces. Unforgettable shadows in my heart.

and so……

Please continue to persevere, come on, Mr. Bailong.

If we can really end this chaotic era of great pirates, and really drive those arrogant and arrogant nobles from the altar...

There is nothing wrong with the profession of Pirate Hunter disappearing completely.

Tomorrow I can set off to return to my hometown. The South China Sea is now much more stable than before. Maybe I can buy a small fishing boat by then, so I don’t have to be afraid to take my son to go fishing every day?

The bearded man smiled lightly, exhaled a puff of smoke slowly, his eyes were fascinated.

After being so confused and coaxed by his companions, and after thinking through a lot of things, his original unwillingness and repulsion, along with the burning tobacco, turned into smoke under the dim light of the tavern, and passed through the venetian blinds. The gap in the door floats away...

Phew, boom...

The window slammed, and a weird sound came from outside the tavern. It was the whimpering of the wind, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier.

The bearded burly man had just finished a bottle of wine, and he felt drunk and sleepy. He couldn't hold on any longer, and finally lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

And neither is he.

Or the rest of the pirate hunters in the tavern didn't notice.

At this moment, in the depths of the windy and snowy night sky, a streak of blue streaked across the sky, and suddenly disappeared.

But looking at its direction, it was astonishingly heading towards the Reversing Mountain.

On the other side of the mountain, there is a piece of sea that Bailong has never been to in the past two years.

——The "Eastern Sea", known as the strongest sea among the four seas.

………………

"The strongest sea?"

Passing Reverse Mountain in a blink of an eye, Nuo Xia was suspended above the sky, holding a recent collection of information in his hand, with a strange expression on his face:
"Finally it's Dong Hai's turn to be crowned?"

The information was handed over to him by the Rear Admiral of the nearby Navy Branch when he passed by.

Nominally, he left the navy, but when he was traveling around the world, he still had extremely high authority in the various branches of the navy, and all kinds of important information could be read at will.

Without the support of the navy's intelligence network, his efficiency in hunting pirates would not have been so high in the past two years.

"Feng Shui turns around..."

Nuo Xia sighed with emotion.

Thinking about it, it seems to be true. In the past two years, he rarely rested, and only slept for a few months in peace. All his time was spent on cultivation and practicing the way of justice.

At the same time as his strength improved by leaps and bounds, the pirates also suffered disasters. The first half of the great route and the famous pirates in the other three sea areas were all almost wiped out by him.

Only the East China Sea that has not had time to go...

Nuo Xia was thoughtful, and turned back the information in her hand, her eyes fell on the large photo in the middle.

In the photo, a man with a red nose and an orange hat is facing the camera, grinning happily, with an astonishing number of green Bailey notes flying all over the sky behind him.
