Pirate Catcher in the Rye

Ah!

As if feeling something, Hawkins turned his head and looked over, recognizing Apu's identity at first sight.

But it’s not too surprising. After all, there are only seven routes in the first half of the Grand Line, and this year’s Supernova has nine pirate groups.

That is,

There are at least two routes, and two Supernova Pirates exist at the same time!

"Captain of the Radio Pirates - Skulachman Apu, a member of the Long Hand Clan, offering a bounty of 8300 beli. It was reported in the newspaper some time ago." Elise suddenly said.

The reason why Elise noticed Apu was naturally because they were both musicians, and the other's abilities were what all musicians dream of.

A superhuman type of 'Sound Fruit', as long as he has that ability, he can play any kind of music at will.

Not only that, the attack power is also very powerful, making it difficult to guard against!

"8300 Bailey?"

Baker's eyes widened. Such a reward could only be matched by the former Don Quixote family in Beihai.

Normally, pirates with a bounty of more than 8000 million Baileys would choose to go to the Grand Line.

Snapped!

Hawkins held back Baker who was about to rush out.

This guy was too impatient. When he heard Apu's reward, he immediately wanted to rush forward without even looking at how much he weighed.

It seems that pirates’ obsession with bounties is universal!

"Don't make a fuss, this guy is also a trend-setter of this era, he is an indispensable part of it!"

Hawkins shook his head and stopped Baker who was about to rush forward.

It's a bit ridiculous to say that the pirates in this world are more dedicated than the navy. Most of the pirates died from killing each other!

If there hadn't been so much internal friction, the navy would have been overrun by the numerous pirate groups. How could it still have the energy to maintain so many naval branches?

Troublemakers like Apu, who are afraid of the world being in chaos, are what Hawkins needs. With them, the new world will become even more chaotic!

For the four emperors of the new world, these newcomers are all challengers and are in the same camp.

As for the supernovas and some famous pirate groups in the past, they either chose to join the four emperors or were killed.

Of course, it also has something to do with Baker's strength. Without mastering Armament Haki, it would be difficult for him to block Apu's sonic attack.

Apu's ability is somewhat restraining him!

……

night,

"A bunch of idiots who don't even have a reward. We don't provide accommodation here. Get lost!" A pirate sneered with a sweet voice.

He encounters countless rookies like this every day.

You know, although there are many houses in this town, very few can live in them, and they are basically divided up by powerful pirate groups.

The hotel they occupy is one of the best hotels, and it is also a symbol of identity and status. It is not something you can live in if you have money.

Moreover, he didn't think that a group of unknown pirates could have much Bailey in them!

"So I've said it a long time ago. There's no need to knock on the door. Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill him directly?"

Bang!

Yongji grinned, rushed out, held down the pirate's head, and punched him hard.

I saw the pirate's head turning irregularly in half a circle, and then fell to the ground!

"What do you know? This is called courtesy first and then attack."

"Tsk, tsk, there are so many people. It seems like we are going to have a fight. The environment is not bad. Don't damage this hotel. We will stay there later."

Hawkins reminded, and then walked in immediately.

I saw a group of pirates happily drinking and eating meat in the hall. There was also a huge bonfire in the hall.

It’s quite enjoyable!

"You are……"

Bang bang bang!

Before the pirates inside could finish speaking, everyone from the Hawkins Pirates rushed over and started killing.

What can be quieter than the dead?

"asshole!!!"

Seeing this scene, the captain of this group of pirates suddenly became furious. A group of people whose names they didn't even know came up and took action, even more arrogant than them.

click~

"Young men, kill these reckless guys!" As he said that, the pirate captain crushed the wine bottle in his hand, stamped on the ground, and rushed towards the crowd.

suddenly,

A black shadow passed him by.

Uh--

The pirate captain was seen covering his neck in fear, blood kept pouring out, and he gradually stopped struggling.

"Unfortunately, the 'strange' Rom with a reward of 2800 Baileys is still trash." Deent wiped the knife in his hand.

one strike!

The surrounding pirates were stunned. That was their captain, and he was killed in one blow.

"It's... it's a lie. Get up, Captain Rom!" A pirate muttered to himself with disbelief.

Rather than letting him believe the scene in front of him, he preferred to believe that it was just a dream, and that the splattered blood was just ketchup prepared in advance by their captain Rom.

Puff puff puff!

Before he could recover, he saw that the pirates who rushed out were all knocked down by another swordsman, and a lot of 'ketchup' also leaked out.

What's going on today? Everyone loves acting!

"boom!"

At this moment, a bullet mercilessly penetrated his head, and his thoughts were forever stuck in the 'dream'.

unfortunately,

He will never wake up from this dream!

"Ahhhh-"

"Captain Rom has been killed. Run away. We are no match for him."

"Help, don't kill me!"

...

After a brief period of calm, the surrounding pirates became completely panicked. More than a hundred pirates rushed towards the door like ants bursting from their nest.

Even the captain was powerless to fight back. They had completely lost the courage to resist. In their panic, they even dropped their weapons.

"After all, they are just a bunch of rabble, and they are useless except for their numbers!"

Hawkins shook his head faintly and glanced at the still burning bonfire.

Under the reflection of the bonfire, the shadows of everyone were stretched out, a bit eerie, and shadows kept twitching and falling. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer standing shadows.

Like a puppet with strings, the strings suddenly broke...

"Let's go, there's a big show going on tomorrow." Hawkins waved his hand and motioned for everyone to choose their own rooms.

It seemed that the divination before going to sea was indeed correct. They came at just the right time and could gain something as soon as they arrived.

tomorrow?

Everyone was stunned. Didn't those pirates say that the food in the capital could last for a while?

"Remember the pirate we met today? Without him, the Kingdom of Atria will not be able to live in peace."

Whoa!

Hawkins pulled out a card, and on the card, he saw a god of death wielding a scythe standing on a somewhat dilapidated city wall.

As the sun set, blood soaked the ground, and under the city wall, there were countless corpses.

The strange thing is that this god of death looked at the top of his head with horror on his face, as if something terrifying was approaching from above.

And above the head of the God of Death is a dark cloud!

"The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole stalks behind. In the face of absolute strength, even the god of death who plays with life will give in."

“In the end, we can only benefit!”
