Pirate Catcher in the Rye

A week later,

The Hawkins Pirates passed through several islands one after another, but they were all small islands, and there were even two uninhabited islands, which were of little value.

At this time, they were getting closer and closer to the Chambord Islands. As long as they passed the last island, the next island would be the Chambord Islands!

"This time it's 'Moonlight' Moriah again. What's going on with those Shichibukai."

Beck complained with an annoyed look on his face.

In the past few days, they have encountered many pirates who escaped from the Magic Triangle. It is said that Moria of the Shichibukai has been defeated.

And the culprit is the Straw Hat Pirates who singled out Crocodile!

Isn't it said that the Shichibukai is one of the three major maritime forces alongside the navy and the New World Yonko?

Unexpectedly, he was picked off by newcomers one after another.

"Seventy-seven million Baileys. The reward for that loser Sanji is actually higher than mine. Damn it!"

Yuji gritted his teeth and cursed.

You know, his reward is only 6800 million Baileys.

Although the bounty could not represent his strength, it still made him unhappy to be surpassed by a loser whom he had looked down on since childhood.

Also unhappy is Niji. His bounty is 7100 million Baileys, which is also 600 million Baileys lower than Sanji!

The Straw Hat Pirates' bounty existed long after the Justice Island incident, but Sanji's bounty order was hidden by Reiju.

They didn't find out until today!

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Iji laughed happily: "It's so pitiful that you were surpassed by a loser!"

His bounty is 9900 million beli, so he naturally doesn't care much about Sanji's bounty. Reiju's bounty is also 8000 million beli, which is also higher than Sanji's.

Of course, even if she is surpassed by Sanji, Reiju will most likely not have any bad emotions. Instead, she will be happy for Sanji's growth!

"You guy, you deliberately hid the reward order. Do you want to secretly meet that loser Sanji? How disgusting!" Niji glanced at Reiju unhappily.

He didn't understand why Reiju cared about a loser who didn't have a superhuman physique.

That person is a disgrace to Germa, and he is not the same person as them at all!

"There is nothing we can do about it. Who allowed me to have three unreasonable younger brothers? Only if the family members live in harmony can they be happy!"

"After Crocodile, I defeated 'Moonlight' Moria again. He is really getting better and better. My brother..."

"Just a reminder, Hawkins won't get involved in family disputes. If you want to cause trouble, it's just the three of you!"

Reijiu was not too worried when the reward order was discovered unexpectedly. Instead, she winked mischievously.

Being able to defeat two Shichibukai in succession, Sanji's pirate group should not be weak. They are no longer the cowards that Niji and the others were able to bully at will a few years ago!

"Hahahaha-"

As if they heard some funny joke, Niji and Yongji looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

I don’t know how confident Reiju is that she actually thinks they can’t do anything to a mere rookie pirate group!

"Captain Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy has a bounty of [-] million beli, which is actually higher than Boss Hawkins, but because of his strength..."

"Forget it, no matter how you think about it, you can't be the opponent of Boss Hawkins."

"However, the swordsmen on their ship also have a bounty of 1 million Baileys. There are two supernovas on one ship with a bounty of over 2000 million, which is considered outstanding!"

Deent touched his chin and looked at the reward in front of him with interest.

If it weren't for Reiju's relationship, he wouldn't bother paying attention to a group of rookie pirates.

But from the current point of view, the performance of the Straw Hat Pirates is remarkable!

"These are outdated news long ago. By the way, shouldn't our focus be on this morning's newspaper?"

"The Skulachman Apu who was supposed to be dead is actually still alive and has re-formed the Radio Pirates."

"It's only been half a month, he's such an energetic guy!"

Brent raised the newspaper in his hand and said with admiration.

The incident recorded in the newspaper was that five days ago, Apu gathered tens of thousands of pirates, captured the G6 branch, and destroyed two naval bases.

Only two days later than the time they left!

When all the crew members were wiped out, it was very rare to be able to recover from their injuries so quickly and regain their strength.

"The bounty is 1 million Baileys, second only to Boss Hawkins. When did the Navy's bounty become so cheap!"

Deent frowned. Unknowingly, his reward had been surpassed by so many people. This was the first half of the Grand Line.

Although there is a reason why they are relatively low-key, they are still a little unhappy after being surpassed!

However, thinking that Hawkins' bounty of 2 million Baileys was only ranked third, Deent suddenly felt a little balanced.

The captain didn't even care. Why did he, a crew member, think so much? Was he deliberately causing trouble for the sake of a bounty?

In this world, strength is king after all. In the new world, there will be many stages for performance and bounties will be raised.

"That is to say, the last blow of that guy Apu was defeated by me, and it was actually higher than my reward." Basaromu muttered dissatisfied.

His bounty is 7200 million Baileys, not even counting Supernova.

After the fight with Apu, he realized the domineering power of armed forces. Compared with when he was in Beihai, his strength has reached a higher level!

"How about...we wait here for two days?"

"That guy Apu should be here soon, should I hit him again?"

Bartholomew suggested, feeling a little eager to try.

The previous Apu had a bounty of only 8300 million Baileys, and with the help of Yongji and Baker, Basaromu didn't take it to heart.

but now,

The opponent's bounty has reached 1 million Baileys, and the sense of accomplishment in defeating him is completely different.

If you were to blow him up by yourself, the feeling would be overwhelming just thinking about it!

"What a bump!!!"

Snapped!

Brent slapped Bartholomew on the head.

Although Barçaolomu is much simpler than Jamory, his way of thinking is also a headache.

There is no cure for stupidity!

"Totally unnecessary."

Elk twirled his fingers and counted carefully: "Everyone's destination is the Chambord Islands, and the supernovae have already gathered there one after another!"

"Including us and Apu behind us, there are a total of twelve supernovas this year, and there are three pirate groups with two supernovas at the same time."

"It's a pity Isiah, it's your first time arriving at the Chambord Islands!"

Isiah's bounty is as high as 1 million Baileys, but he arrived at the Grand Line two years ago, so he is naturally not counted as this year's supernova.

Not to mention that they haven't arrived at the Chambord Islands yet, even if they do, the coating will take at least a week.

We can meet up soon!

"In addition, the two newcomers from Beihai that Boss Hawkins is paying attention to..."

"Drake already has a bounty of 2 million Baileys, and Trafalgar Law also has a bounty of 2200 million Baileys."

"They didn't show this potential when they were in Beihai!"

They had invited all the powerful pirates in the North Sea, even the original Isiah was no exception.

However, Drake and Luo were very low-key in Beihai, and the reward was very ordinary. Hawkins didn't mention it, so they naturally had no interest in inviting them.

It was only after the Hawkins Pirates went to sea that Hawkins asked them to pay more attention, and they got some impressions.

I didn’t expect those two guys to rise so quickly after arriving at the Grand Line, as if they had taken stimulants!

Not to mention that Elk couldn't figure this out, even Isaiah, an old-timer, couldn't figure it out at all.

The Hawkins Pirates were formerly the overlords of the North Sea, and their growth process can be traced, but Drake and Law went a little too far.

At the beginning, it was not that famous even in Beihai!

Who would have known that after arriving at the Grand Line, in just a few months, the reward would exceed [-] million beli, which was higher than he, an old man who had been here for two years!

"If I had known they had such potential, I should have invited them when we went overseas two years ago."

Isiah thought secretly, but then gave up this beautiful hypothesis.

Since the other party has such potential, it is only a matter of time before they offer a reward to surpass him. Since they are younger than themselves, I am afraid they will not be able to suppress them!
