One Piece: I'm a Good Person

Van Oka stopped wiping the gun barrel and looked sinister.

If Blackbeard cannot get the position of Shichibukai, then his next plan will be disrupted and there may not be such a good opportunity.

"Bang!"

Blackbeard said, raising his right hand in anger and slapping the wooden counter with force.

The counter was as fragile as a piece of paper, and a piece of it collapsed in an instant. The broken wood and some sawdust fell to the ground.

""Boss, bring me some wine." The voice was filled with rage.

The boss was startled and looked at Blackbeard with fear.

He was not an ordinary person and had some skills to open a shop on Gaya Island. But it was precisely because of this that he could feel the terror of the people in front of him.

Fortunately, the boss had a strong psychological quality and managed to calm down. He took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet behind him and put it on the surviving bar with some trembling.

"Hahaha, it's true. The government is treating us as backup." Badgers laughed heartily, not caring about Blackbeard's ugly face.

"Haha, this is not such a rare thing."Fan Oka sneered.

Du Q had a blank expression on his face, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his cloudy eyes.

"This is really too much! How dare the government look down on me!"Blackbeard picked up the wine bottle, uncorked it with one hand, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then he calmed down a little.

He asked in a deep voice:"Who is this Rice? The government uses this person to fool me!"

"I just learned about this person's background, but it's a bit legendary."Lafayette whispered

"Stop talking nonsense!"Blackbeard said rudely.

Lafayette was choked, but he was not angry. He said in a gloomy voice

"Rice is from the East China Sea. He only went to sea in May this year, but he is a complete newcomer."

"Newcomer?" Blackbeard was furious when he heard this. Although Crocodile was not famous, he didn't look down on him and didn't use a newcomer as an excuse.

Lafayette continued,"The first bounty was 35 million. For some reason, he attacked the naval base in Rogue Town.

Later, he entered the Grand Line and came to the Kingdom of Alabasta. For some reason, he defeated Crocodile again."

"Wait, you said, the new guy, Rice, defeated Crocodile? Wasn't it Smoker, the mad dog in the navy, who defeated him?"Blackbeard was a little surprised.

"No, I also learned this news when I was attending the meeting. Apparently, the government erased Rice's existence for the sake of its own image and gave the credit to the navy."

"This is unexpectedly in line with the government's approach." Van Oka said sarcastically.

Blackbeard grinned, and seemed no longer annoyed:"That's interesting. Go on."

"The following words are indeed somewhat legendary. For unknown reasons, Kuzan went to the Kingdom of Alabasta to carry out a mission and met Rice and his gang."

"The war was about to break out. After a fierce battle, Rice's group was defeated. When Kuzan was about to chase them, he found that Rice's group had disappeared out of thin air."

"What!"Blackbeard's face changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed in surprise.

To be able to escape from Kuzan's hands, he must be very capable.

During the years in the Whitebeard Pirates, he had more or less experienced battles with the admiral. Of course, he did not fight, but just watched the battle between the admiral and his father from afar.

He knew very well how terrifying the admiral was. Not only did he develop the power of the devil fruit to the pinnacle, but even his physical skills and domineering were extremely high. There was no monster at all.

"Afterwards, based on Kuzan's battle report, the Navy increased the bounty on Rice's gang."

"They are Captain Rice, 990 million Baileys, Navigator Nami, 450 million Baileys, Sniper Nojiko, 490 million Baileys, Archaeologist Nico Robin, 390 million Baileys."

Hearing this bounty, even though Blackbeard was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised.

You know, Marco's bounty is only more than 1.3 billion, and he is the signature figure of their Whitebeard Group.

Although the bounty cannot fully represent a person's strength, it can also reflect some problems.

And it's not just Rice, the strength of his three crew members is not weak.

What makes Blackbeard more concerned is what means they used to disappear in front of Kuzan in an instant.

Although he has now obtained the Dark Dark Fruit and recruited several powerful companions, it is still difficult for him to escape from Kuzan's hands.

"It is said that this newcomer is only 18 years old, and his two crew members are also very young. At this age, he can be said to be a super rookie with such strength."Lafayette said lightly

"This is not surprising, this is not surprising." Blackbeard murmured.

"It seems that this group of newcomers are really capable. This sea is really becoming more and more interesting."Blackbeard's eyes quickly lit up with fighting spirit, and the corners of his mouth raised

"Sniper? Who will the balance of fate tip to?"Van Oka narrowed his eyes and stared at the barrel of the gun.

According to Lafayette, they still have a chance, but they have to hurry up.

Because once Rice reappears, the Navy government will give priority to him instead of their unknown Blackbeard Pirates.

"Thief hahahaha, next we should improve our reputation. As long as the gift to the government is big enough, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will still be mine."

"Captain, how about we go hunt Rice and his gang?" Badgers' eyes were burning, and he made a boxing gesture.

Van Oka frowned slightly, looked at Blackbeard, and his eyes sparkled, waiting for Blackbeard's decision.

Blackbeard paused and said awkwardly,"No, Rice and his gang are not easy to mess with, let's find other targets. Oh, this, it's the guy in the straw hat, although the bounty is a little lower, but if we kill a few more and send them to the government, it should be about the same."

As Blackbeard said this, he glanced and happened to see the bounty floating in the air. He grabbed one and it was Luffy's.

Buggy looked regretful, but didn't say much.

Van Oka breathed a sigh of relief. It would not be a wise choice to confront Rice head-on now. It seems that he followed the right person.

The bounty began to float out from Mariford and began to spread in the Grand Line.

Pirates from both Paradise and the New World were surprised. This was the first time that a newcomer had such a high bounty.

Many pirates called Rice the strongest newcomer. Some admired him, some watched him, and some disdained him. In a word, Rice's name was resounding throughout the world at a terrifying speed.

Two days later, one afternoon, a huge spaceship arrived at the desert kingdom, Alabasta.

Due to the faster speed of the Ark Maxim, Luffy took more than ten days to sail, while Rice only took about seven days.
