Pirates: I am an Assassin

"Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said. Moreover, Mr. Miao Fan, you are right. Since I want to entrust you with work, then I should be honest and provide as much information as I know to you. You, it’s up to you to judge and decide.”

After listening to Miao Fan's words, Icarem was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. His eyes swept across the faces of Miao Fan and the other three, and then asked a question: "Have you heard of the Seven Martial Arts Under the King? ?”

"Your Majesty Shichibukai? The name sounds quite domineering. Are they seven big shots?"

The question was raised by Miao Fan. After listening to Ikarem's question, he searched his brain carefully and found that there was indeed no such information.

After all, Miao Fan has only been in this world for half a year, so it is impossible for him to have a detailed and comprehensive understanding of this world. As far as this King's Qiwuhai is concerned, he has never heard of it.

Compared to Miao Fan's doubts, Su Yue and Shi Lansen were different. They both nodded in unison, saying that they knew that the title of King Shichibukai was very well-known in the pirate world. After all, it was the official name of the Navy and the World Government. Miao Fan actually didn't know. This made the two of them suddenly think that Miao Fan had run out from some nook and cranny that blocked communication, and they both cast the same look at Miao Fan.

"Hey, your eyes are very unfriendly, aren't you? Who stipulated that I have to know this King's Qiwuhai? What's so great about it?" Their eyes hurt Miao Fan. Miao Fan, who was hit hard, hummed. After snorting twice, he still gave a symbolic defense.

"Hey, let me give you some popular science, Captain." Shi Lansen shook his head to express his helplessness. He would honestly introduce this so-called King's Qiwuhai to Miao Fan, so he cleared his throat and started introduced myself.

After Shi Lansen's brief introduction, Miao Fan had a rough understanding of Wangxia Qiwuhai.

The so-called Shichibukai, the great pirates recognized by the World Government, can be known from their name that their number is seven. As for why there are seven instead of eight or nine, that can only be decided at the beginning. The people who set up this system knew about it, but Shi Lansen didn't know the details behind it.

This was created by the world government and the navy in order to balance the forces on the sea, but in essence, they still belong to the category of pirates, but they have the power to legally plunder, and even the navy will provide them with conveniences when they see them. , However, these rights are not unconditional. There is no free lunch in the world, but Shi Lansen doesn't know what they need to pay, so he is vague about it and mentions it in one sentence.

After listening to this, Miao Fan sorted out some of his understanding in his mind.

In his opinion, by recognizing seven pirates with extremely high bounties and influence at sea in the name of the world government, recognizing their legitimacy, and giving the title of Shichibukai to the king, they are undoubtedly setting a benchmark. , standing on the opposite side of the pirates.

After all, generally speaking, the navy and pirates are incompatible existences. Anyone with the title of pirate on his head and dangling in front of the navy is no different from seeking death. The navy has already swarmed him and killed him. Bring him to justice.

But the King's Shichibukai is different. The navy will even help them under certain circumstances, which is unimaginable to other pirates. Of course, this is not pie in the sky, there is a price to pay.

First, as beings recognized by the navy, they are actually very eye-catching existences in the eyes of many pirates. They are like being passively ridiculed by the group. They are very hateful existences. However, they each have their own reliance. Either they are super powerful, or they have huge power, or both. In short, it is not easy to kill them. There have been countless people who have wanted their lives over the years, but they are still alive and well.

Secondly, when the world government and the navy need their strength for some special events, they must respond to the call, assemble and serve the government and the navy. If they refuse, what awaits them should be the King's Shichibukai As a result, they will no longer be able to enjoy the privileges granted by the government and the navy. In addition, I am afraid that some worse things will happen.

"The Qibukai under the King is roughly as introduced by Mr. Shi Lansen. Each of them is a big pirate who dominates the area. Although when they become the Qibukai under the King, their reward orders will be frozen and will never increase. But, even so, the lowest bounty among them is 8000 million Baileys, which was a number released many years ago." Ikarem added following Slanson's words.

"Aren't you going to tell us who the boss of Baroque Works is? Why are you always talking about King Shichibukai? Wait, what do you want to say is..." Miao Fan had a look of confusion on his face, but the next second, He suddenly showed a look of understanding. He should have guessed what Ikarem wanted to say.

"That's right, it's what you think." Ikarem took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became deep and solemn, "The boss of Baroque Works is silently manipulating everything behind the scenes, setting off a revolution in Alabasta. The chief culprit of the civil strife and the attempt to seize power in Alabasta is none other than Crocodile, one of the King's Seven Warlords!"

Almost gritting his teeth and spitting out Crocodile's name, Ikarem felt anger rushing into his head, and the depth of hatred was very obvious. He held the position of captain of the Kingdom Guard, but he was somewhat helpless about it. Seeing As the country becomes increasingly chaotic and people's lives become increasingly difficult, he often feels pain in his heart.

"Krokdal?" Slansen said, "I know him. He is called Sand Crocodile, and he is indeed one of the Seven Martial Seas under the King. And if it is really Crocodile, I suggest that we don't go through this muddy journey. It's too unwise to confront a powerful King Shichibukai."

"Indeed, it is too difficult for you to face Crocodile. Therefore, I would like to ask you to escort me back to Alabasta, and then help to deal with several senior agents. Even if the task is accomplished, there is no need to face it directly. Crocodile, what do you think?" Ikarem himself knew very well that it was undoubtedly unrealistic for Miao Fan and others to directly confront Crocodile.

"What about the price? I'm more concerned about this." Miao Fan asked straight to the point.

Ikarem secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Miao Fan said this, he obviously already knew about this matter, so he considered it and quoted a price - 300 million Baileys.

"Add another two million, and the deal will be five million!" Miao Fan raised his eyebrows and raised the price online, looking at Ikarem with a smile.

"...Okay, I can accept this price!" Ikarem also has a small amount of savings. If he sells some items, he can still make up 500 million beli.

"But let me say something ugly first. This matter must be limited to our abilities. Therefore, we can only do our best. If our lives are seriously threatened, we will directly abandon the mission and leave, and the mission fee will be paid. If you If you agree, let’s make a written contract!”

"Okay, I won't let you die. If your lives are threatened, you can leave at any time." Ikarem said generously, and he even felt that this should be the case.

The two parties immediately established a written contract and reached an entrustment relationship.
