Chapter 137 Hot Fruits

"What did Roger say?"

Kong asked the Warring States, since they captured Roger, in addition to heavily guarding them, they would also go to communicate with Roger, wanting to know Roger's purpose, but unfortunately, Roger didn't say anything.

Zhan Guo shook his head and said: "It's still the same as before, just say that he surrendered himself, and we can deal with him as we like, and don't say anything else."

"Is there something wrong with this Roger, what the hell is going on?"

Kong, the admiral of the navy, was also baffled by Roger's actions this time, and couldn't figure out what Roger was thinking at all.

Catching Roger should have been something to be thankful for, but Kong just felt that something was wrong. Why did Roger come to his door and surrender himself? What purpose did he have?

If you don't understand this point, Sora always feels uneasy.

Warring States, who is known as a wise general, also couldn't figure out Roger's train of thought. He hesitated: "Roger really has no reason to surrender, but since he surrendered, then no matter what his ideas are, we just don't let him succeed, anyway. Now he is also under our control, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Sora nodded: "That's the truth, but we still can't underestimate him. We also need to guard against the rest of the Roger Pirates. Roger was captured. Perhaps his subordinates may try to rescue him."

Warring States self-confidence: "Marin Vanduo is the most heavily guarded place in the world. Even if the rest of the Roger Pirates come, they can only come and go."

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Let Karp get in touch with Roger. The two of them are like enemies and friends. Maybe they can get something out of Roger's mouth."

"Okay, I'll go to Garp later and explain to him."

So Kong was still worried, "Also, I want to know all the traces of Roger before he came to Marlin Vandor. He was searched by the intelligence department and disappeared for nearly a year. Where did he go, what did he do, and what did he come into contact with? People, I need to know."

"Ah."

Warring States left the empty office and started to act. Catching Roger is only the first step. How to deal with Roger and search for information about Roger is the top priority.

It would be fine if they caught Roger by hand, but Roger was sent to the door automatically, and they couldn't ignore many problems.

"Jon, I have something to do with you."

When Jon came out of the staff department, he met Pepperton who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Pepperton's eager face, Jon thought something had happened.

Pepperton glanced around, "Follow me."

After pulling Jon all the way back to his residence, Pepperton revealed his purpose.

"Jon, I want to borrow money from you."

"Borrow money?"

Jon was stunned. Polusalino often asked him to borrow money, but it was the first time for Pepperton. He knew that Pepperton was not short of money, so why did he suddenly ask him to borrow money?

"Are you short of money? How much do you need? Tell me directly. Just give it to you. Why don't you talk about borrowing it?"

Pepperton said: "If it's a small amount of money, I won't be polite to you, but the amount borrowed this time is a bit too much, and even my uncle can't make it up. I know you have money, so I came to ask you for help." .”

Jon asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Two hundred million Baileys!"

"How many?"

Jon couldn't believe his ears, "What's the situation? Pepperton, what do you want [-] million Baileys for?"

"The devil fruit is the one that Polusalino found last time. I want to buy it."

"You want that devil fruit? Do you know what kind of fruit it is? Also, Polusalino really didn't hand it in?"

Pepperton looked solemn: "I told Polusalino not to turn it in, and I have convinced other soldiers who know that they will not leak it."

"You also know that my talent is not comparable to yours, and my strength is growing very slowly. If there are no accidents, I guess I can be a brigadier in this life. The possibility of improving it is too low."

"If it was in the past, I wouldn't care too much. The big deal is to find a comfortable place to be a base officer; but after being with you for a long time, my mentality has also changed. The world is so wonderful. Wouldn't it be too much to waste this wonderful life?"

"So, I want to become stronger. Since it is difficult to achieve it through my own efforts, I can only rely on external forces. My uncle has already found out about the devil fruit we searched for before. .”

"Wait, you said it was a superhuman-type hot fruit?"

Jon suddenly interrupted Pepperton, and asked Pepperton with a surprised face.

"Yes, it's the hot fruit."

"I see."

At this moment, Jon finally understood why the previous Charlotte Owen didn't use his ability to fight him. It turned out that Owen hadn't eaten the hot fruit yet.

"My uncle said that the hot fruit is a fruit with great potential, and there is a lot of room for development. If I can eat it, I will definitely become stronger."

Having said that, Pepperton looked at Jon expectantly, and Jon was very uncomfortable with that gaze. He had never seen Pepperton look so persistent.

"This matter may be risky. Polusalino's words are fine, but you, can you really deal with those who know?"

Pepperton has been friends with him for many years, and he has been supporting him all these years. As long as he takes action, he will basically bring Pepperton with him.

Although the relationship between the two is not as tight as that of Polusalino, it is still very good. If he can help, he will naturally not refuse.

It's just that Pepperton is different from Polusalino after all. Polusalino is a potential stock valued by the Navy's top management. Becoming a lieutenant general is a certainty, and becoming a general is also very likely.

Even if Polusalino had swallowed the devil fruit, he would not be severely punished after being found out.

But Pepperton is different from him. He is just a captain of the navy, and his biggest backer is his uncle who has retired to the second line. In terms of strength, status, and background, he is incomparable with Polusalino.

"That's why I came to you to borrow money. I paid [-] million Baileys to buy the Devil Fruit, of which you and Polusalino each have [-] million, and the remaining [-] million will be distributed to those who know the truth. their mouths."

"So much money is spent, they will be sensible. Even if it is found out afterwards, the devil fruit has already been eaten, and it is impossible for me to spit it out, right?"

Jon chuckled: "You're quite thoughtful. Since you've spoken, I'll definitely help you. If you come to me, it means that the other people have been persuaded. I can lend you the money, but I What I want to ask is, how do you know that I have money to lend you?"

[-] million Baileys is not a small amount. He is from South China Sea. Even his father, who has a base chief, would not be able to spend that much money, not to mention his salary.

"My uncle told me."

"right."

Jon slapped his head immediately, but he forgot about this. Pepperton's uncle was transferred to the logistics department, and it seemed that he knew something about his business with the logistics department, so he asked Pepperton to borrow money.

"I'll lend you the money, but you said you'd give me [-] million Baileys, then you don't need it, don't refuse, I also have conditions, the [-] million Baileys, it's my investment in you, if you change in the future Strong, if you want to continue to help me, you can't turn your face against others."

"Screw you."

Pepperton smiled and punched Jon, "I don't like rushing to the front. If I can be your lieutenant all the time, that's what I wish for."

"I don't have any money on me, and [-] million Baileys is not a small amount. You wait for two days, and then let your uncle get the money. Be careful. I'm not worried about Polusalino, but you still have to pay attention to the others. point."

"Don't worry, they don't have the guts to take the money and make sure they won't say a word."

Seeing Pepperton's ruthless face, Jon didn't say anything. Although they are both in the navy, there is still a difference between them. In this matter, he must support Pepperton.

After receiving Jon's reply, Pepperton hurried out of the residence, apparently ready to prepare.

Jon also left Pepperton's residence, feeling in his heart that the hot fruit fell into their hands.

"This is a good fruit. If it is developed, it will be very powerful. I just don't know how far Pepperton can go?"
