HxH in One Piece World

Lafayette and Jaya, who had dealt with the attackers, returned to Maud one after another.

They glanced at the bodies of the three Malette brothers lying on the street, but did not respond.

From the moment Maud was offered a bounty by the navy, things like this kind of door-to-door trouble would only happen endlessly.

Needless to say, the navy, such as bounty hunters, and even those who see the money, all want Mord's head worth over 100 million.

"Only about 300,000."

Lafayette raised the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, the largest denomination of which was 2,000.

There were nineteen people he chased and killed, but only about 300,000 Baileys were found.

This shows how poor this group of attackers are trying to take Maud's bounty.

In fact, most pirates and bounty hunters are not rich.

They have been licking blood on the tip of the knife for many years, and they have no idea which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

In this environment, once they "earn" money, they will only spend it for the first time for pleasure.

Of course, there are also some pirates who like to "store" the plundered treasures on remote and uninhabited islands, or use them to keep growing their teams.

As for bounty hunters, as soon as they get older, they will also start saving for retirement.

Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits of black and black, it is best to find some well-known pirate groups to start with.

"It's very little, barely enough for a meal."

Maud glanced at the loot in Lafayette's hand and shook his head slightly.

"Are you going to have dinner?"

Hearing the word "eat", Bailey's eyes lit up on Jim's bald head, and he stood up immediately.

Maud ignored Bailey, who was instantly refreshed, and turned to look at Betty, who was shivering and hugging Jim's thigh.

"Betty, is there a tavern in the city that specializes in pirate business?"

"Yes, yes, but it's messy and dangerous there."

"Then do you dare to take us there?"

Maud looked at Betty, whose emotions gradually calmed down, with a smile in his eyes.

Betty hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He didn't want to lose Maude, a high-quality customer.

"Lead the way."

Maud smiled.

Going to the kind of tavern that specializes in pirate business, of course, is not just for eating and drinking, but to inquire about the pirate groups in Dick City that are suitable to start.

Although this is not an impossible place, it does not prevent Maud from taking some money from his peers to use it.

All the talents walked for a while, and saw a mighty army of fully armed troops coming. At a glance, there were hundreds of people at least.

The army marched in formation, and the clanging sound of the iron armor collided, making the army exude a mighty and extraordinary aura.

Seeing the army of 100 people coming from the front, Betty, who was leading the way, couldn't help but stop.

When facing the army, he was relatively calm without breaking the law, and at the same time he knew the motives of the army coming here.

"Brother Maud..."

Betty looked back at Maud timidly.

Maud didn't say anything, took a few steps forward, past Betty,

It blocked the scrutiny eyes of the army.

The person headed by the army is a middle-aged man in silver armor and holding a double-edged axe.

He was looking at Maud, and after a few glances, he recognized Maud's identity in an instant.

Bacardi Maud with a bounty of 100 million...

The middle-aged man's heart froze.

The number of bounties is the only criterion used by these soldiers to judge the strength of the pirates.

And the pirates with more than 100 million are worthy of attention.

While the middle-aged man looked at Maud, Maud was also looking at the middle-aged man.

Strength is okay.

After judging the foundation of the middle-aged man, Maud glanced at the rest of the soldiers out of the corner of his eyes.

These soldiers are not flamboyant, they are much better than the pirates that are usually encountered.

With these elite soldiers present, it is no wonder that the Kingdom of Ahab dared to receive pirates.

After all, strength is the capital that can be messed up.

Maud sighed in his heart.

The two sides looked at each other, neither of them said a word.

A few seconds later, an armored soldier came to the middle-aged man and whispered, "Captain Matthew, the people who were killed were the three brothers of bounty hunter Mallett."

The middle-aged man called Matthew nodded when he heard the words, and then stared at Maud with a solemn expression: "You murdered in the street, which violated Article 9 of the management regulations, and should be punished as a crime."

"Oh?"

Maud looked at Matthew with interest.

The direct declaration of guilt without asking the reason shows that the army of Ahab Kingdom is domineering in maintaining order.

"and then?"

Maud looked calm.

Matthew is not weak because Maud is a big pirate with a reward of over 100 million, and said coldly:

"You have two choices. One is to be punished and serve 60 days of hard labor, and the other is to pay two million Baileys for immunity."

"..."

Maud was silent.

Lafayette Jaya and others looked surprised.

So, the existence of this kind of penalty regulations is to make money, right?

And a human life is worth two million Baileys?

Or is the conviction so sloppy because the deceased was an off-island bounty hunter?

If this is the case, it is no wonder that the so-called three Mallette brothers dared to do it in the street.

After all, compared to the high bounty, the 6 million Bailey's exemption money is really nothing.

Such speculation is close to the truth.

If the people killed were citizens of their own country, the penalty rate would be more than tripled.

Also because the perpetrator was a pirate, Matthew didn't plan to investigate the cause of the incident at all.

The fine is over.

Afterwards, according to the information recorded in the [Name Book], I had to go to the residence of the three Malette brothers to take over the [legacy] they left behind.

All in all, it's all about money.

This is the truth established by the great king.

"Ha ha."

After a moment, Maud laughed.

The Ahab Kingdom on Leviathan Island is quite interesting, and the Ahab Kingdom who has made these rules and has never met before doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person.

country...

In this way, it is really possible to collect money while sitting.

Looking at Maud who laughed out loud, the soldiers of the army and even Matthew were all displeased.

Maud slowly stopped his laughter, and with a clang, he pulled out Chidori.

Whoa!

The act of drawing the sword made the well-trained soldiers draw out their weapons immediately.

Maud stabbed in front of him, calmly watching the soldiers who were on guard.

If this group of soldiers who enforced the king's power had taken some time to ask the reason before declaring the crime, or had a more polite attitude, then Maud would not have directly drawn the sword.

He will have scruples because of the new ship, but it does not mean that he will be soft on this group of soldiers.

"What if I don't choose?"

Maud's eyes were like knives, passing over a group of soldiers.

That vigorous momentum, as if a lot of blood smashed on the soldiers' bodies, made them feel a heavy feeling like lead inexplicably.

"This guy……"

Matthew's expression changed.

Just by feeling the "bloody smell" full of aura head-on, this sergeant with a hundred kills and above, deeply realized the horror of Maud.

Not strength, but the aura poured out by life and blood.

The person in front of him is really a ruthless man who will slaughter the town to the ground!

"Captain Matthew, what are you doing?!"

When the arrows were drawn, an angry voice came over.

Everyone followed the sound, but it was Keynes who came in a hurry.

"Lord Keynes."

Matthew looked at the person who came, bowed and saluted, and behaved very politely.

You must know that Thomas Shipyard can generate a lot of income for the Kingdom of Ahab every year, so it is deeply loved by the king who values ​​money very much, and even developed into marriage...

Keynes glanced coldly at the soldier who showed his weapons, and finally looked at Matthew, and said solemnly:

"This Mr. Maud is our honored guest at Thomas Shipyard. I don't care what happens here, but you have to pay for your rudeness."

"..."

Matthew's eyes changed slightly, and he raised his hand to make a gesture to let the soldiers put away their weapons.

Then, Matthew took off his helmet decisively and made an unexpected move.

He actually knelt down on one knee against Maud.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers behind him did the same.

On both sides of the long street, the residents who continued to pay attention to this side watched this scene in disbelief.

Keynes didn't respond.

According to the rules set by the greedy king, if the interests are damaged, let alone kneel down and apologize, and cut off the heads of this group of soldiers without any hesitation.

Ahab's kingdom, under the rule of that greedy king, is such a money-first country

Knowing the bottom line is like Keynes, and it is normal for Matthew and other soldiers to kneel and apologize.

However, even the surrounding residents find it incredible, let alone Maud and others who are outsiders.

"This……"

Maud looked at the soldiers such as Matthew on one knee in surprise.

this country……

what's going on.
