Chapter 265 Underground Auction, Treasure Tree Adam
Jon quickly returned to the G7 branch base with his own people.

They didn't have many people on this trip, but he was the only one who participated in the battle, so a lot of people were brought back.

Jon, who returned to the base, did not do other things, but has been waiting in the office for news from Sakaski.

He didn't wait too long, and the news reached him quickly.

Sure enough, the Beast Pirates gathered and attacked the warship led by Sakaski.

It's just that they were severely beaten by the navy that had been ambushing for a long time, and they returned in a big defeat. Not only did Kaido not be rescued, but the Beast Pirates suffered heavy losses, leaving countless pirates' lives behind.

The Hundred Beasts Pirates, who failed in the attack, could only watch as the navy escorted their captain away, and no one knew where it would take them.

This result made Jon feel a little relieved. He worked so hard and almost took his life to catch Kaido. If he was rescued so easily, it would make him too upset.

But even if Kaido was taken away, Jon was still not completely relieved, because even he didn't know where Kaido was taken.

Thinking of Kaido's performance and rumors in the anime, he was really worried that Kaido would escape by himself.

Jon has always remembered what Sakaski said to him before he left. Counting the time, I am afraid that the day when Sengoku became the admiral of the navy is not far away.

Once Warring States becomes the marshal and the admiral is vacant, then it will be his best chance.

However, before returning to the headquarters, the G7 branch base still needs to be settled, and in order to be able to stand up for himself, Jon is still considering whether to make some more noise.

"Aren't you going to that underground auction?"

Pepperton asked Jon in astonishment. Last time they agreed to go to the underground auction together. Seeing that the time was coming, Jon couldn't talk to him, which made him very puzzled.

Jon nodded and said, "Well, I won't go, I have to be busy with the base, and I don't have time to attend that kind of auction."

Pepperton: "But I heard that there are a lot of good things in this underground auction. Maybe there will be something you want. Are you really not interested?"

Jon rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think I need now? I'm not going, there is still you. If there are really good things, you can help take pictures."

Pepperton could only helplessly say: "Well, I originally wanted to have you as my companion. Since you are not going, then I will go alone."

"Ok!"

Jon said again: "One more thing, I guess I won't be able to stay in the G7 branch for too long, but we have injected a lot of energy here, and we can't let others pick peaches easily, so I will find a way to keep you here , let you serve as the base commander."

"Ah? Let me stay? How can I do this? I'm your lieutenant general. If I don't follow you, why stay here?"

Pepperton strongly opposed it. Following Jon, he could do less, but once he became the head of the branch base, there would be more things to do. He didn't want to be trapped in the base all the time.

"Then do you think who else can take up this position in this base besides you?" Jon asked.

Pepperton replied confidently: "It's very simple, Miss Gion, she is much better than me, let her stay."

Jon looked at him incredulously: "You mean, let me leave Gion here, and you follow me back?"

"That's right, Gion will be your wife sooner or later, and she will be the person you trust the most. Compared to her, I'm a little bit worse. If you keep her, you will feel more at ease."

Pepperton took it for granted, as if he was really thinking about Jon.

"roll!"

Jon spouted unceremoniously: "Leave her, take you with me, you are thinking about farting, I am really fed up with your big face, you are the one to stay."

"Jon, are you too ruthless? I have been with you for so many years, and if you say you leave me, you leave me?"

Pepperton's face was full of depression. He really didn't want to stay and be the head of the base, but judging from Jon's attitude, he couldn't do it if he didn't agree.

Jon smiled: "Those who can do more work, I believe in you, you can do it, so be it."

After speaking, he turned and left without giving Pepperton a chance to object.

Pepperton raised his middle finger at Jon's back.

The time for the auction came up soon, and Pepperton left the base alone with the invitation letter.

It took him seven days to come back.

"Jon, good news."

As soon as Pepperton came back, he went directly to Jon and yelled at Jon happily.

Jon was on the training ground exercising. Seeing Pepperton rushing over, he immediately asked, "Did you just come back?"

"Well, just got back."

Pepperton nodded: "Do you know what good things are in this auction?"

Seeing Pepperton's happy look, Jon asked in surprise: "Is there really something good that makes you so happy?"

"There are many good things, but I only bought one, which is good news for you."

"Oh? What did you buy?"

"Treasure Tree Adam!"

"what?"

Jon, who was still careless, suddenly changed his expression, and asked: "You said you bought the treasure tree Adam? Is it a seed or a wood?"

Pepperton said speechlessly: "How rare are the seeds of the treasure tree Adam, don't you understand these years? I took pictures of the wood of the treasure tree Adam, which is very large and can be used to make a large ship. And it was just picked, it may be of great use to you."

"Is it a large amount? That's possible."

Over the years, Jon has been looking for the treasure tree Adam. In the world of pirates, the treasure tree Adam is definitely a legendary tree. It is the most precious wood for making ships and the strongest tree in the world.

He has always wanted to obtain the treasure tree Adam, but there are only a few such books in the world.

Not only are there few living trees, but even its wood is sold out in an instant, making it difficult for ordinary people to see it.

Although Jon is already a vice admiral, he has a lot of power. He also used his position to search for the treasure tree Adam, and at the same time, he also asked people to pay attention to him.

During the period, he got some wood, but unfortunately, maybe the quantity was too small, or the activity was too low, he still couldn't analyze its characteristics, let alone manufacture it.

As for the seeds of the precious tree Adam, it was impossible to find them. I don't know if it was because there were too few of them. Anyway, Jon never got them.

The wood of the precious tree Adam that I got before had lost its activity long ago, so I heard that Pepperton said that the wood was just picked this time, maybe the activity will be very high.

"Where's the wood?"

"Haven't you brought it back yet?"

Jon: "What do you mean you didn't bring it back? Didn't you go to the auction? They've already been photographed. Why didn't you bring it back?"

"I can't blame me for this, because those people are too cautious. All the people who participated in the auction wore masks. No one knew the identities of others, and the owner of the auction was unwilling to trade on the spot, especially when it involved a large number of people. Pele, what they're asking for is an after-the-fact deal."

Pepperton looked helpless. This underground auction is really cautious, and he is not afraid that things will not be sold. After the on-site auction, if you are willing to trade, they will give you the address. If you are not willing, then they will not force.

Jon understood: "Although this method is a bit troublesome, it can absolutely protect the privacy of the guests and greatly reduce the risk; more importantly, these people are very confident in their goods, and they don't worry about not being able to sell them at all. .”

The practice of this underground auction aroused his interest. The people behind it are really cautious, and the other party's influence is estimated to be very strong, otherwise it would be impossible to keep going and get so many good things.

The water in the world of Pirates is indeed deep enough. Those seen in the anime are only the superficial forces. In this huge world, there are many hidden forces in the dark. It is impossible to portray all of them in the manga.
