My code name is Green Bull
Chapter 137 Hot Fruit
"What did Roger say?"
Sora asked Sengoku that since they captured Roger, in addition to heavy guarding, they would also go to communicate with Roger to know his purpose, but unfortunately, Roger didn't say anything.
Warring States shook his head and said: "It's still the same as before. Just say that he surrendered himself. We can do whatever we want with him. Nothing else was said."
"Is there something wrong with Roger? What the hell is going on?"
Sora, the naval marshal, was also baffled by Roger's actions this time, and could not figure out Roger's thoughts at all.
Catching Roger should have been something to be thankful for, but Kong just felt something was wrong. Why did Roger come to surrender on his own initiative? What was his purpose?
Without understanding this, Sora always felt uneasy.
Warring States, who was known as a wise general, could not figure out Roger's thinking. He hesitated and said: "Roger really has no reason to surrender, but since he surrendered, no matter what his plan is, we just don't let him succeed. Anyway, Now he is also under our control and cannot cause any trouble."
Sora nodded: "That's the truth, but we still can't underestimate him. We must also beware of other members of the Roger Pirates. Roger has been captured, and perhaps his subordinates may want to rescue him."
Sengoku said confidently: "Marinvando is the most heavily guarded place in the world. Even if the rest of the Roger Pirates come, they can only come and go."
Kong thought for a while and then said: "Let Garp 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 find Garp later and explain to him."
Sora was still worried, "Also, I want to know all the traces of Roger before he came to Malinfando and asked people from the Intelligence Department to search for him. He disappeared for nearly a year. Where did he go, what did he do, and what did he come into contact with?" Everyone, I want to know.”
"Um."
Sengoku left Sora's office and started taking action. Catching Roger was only the first step. How to deal with Roger next and search for information about Roger were the top priorities.
It would be fine if they caught Roger, but Roger came to their door automatically, and they couldn't ignore many problems.
"Jon, I have something to do with you."
When Jon walked out of the staff office, he met Pemberton, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Pemberton's anxious expression, Jon thought something had happened.
Pemberton looked around and said, "Follow me."
After dragging Jon back to his residence, Pemberton revealed his purpose.
"Jon, I want to borrow money from you."
"Borrow money?"
Jon was immediately shocked. Porusalino often asked him to borrow money, but this was the first time for Pemberton. He knew that Pemberton was not short of money, so why did he suddenly ask him to borrow money?
"Are you short of money? Just tell me how much you need, and I'll give it to you. Why don't you talk about borrowing it?"
Pemberton said: "If it was a small amount of money, I wouldn't be polite to you, but the amount borrowed this time is a bit large. Even my uncle can't get it together. I know you have money, so I came to ask you for help." .”
Jon asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
"Twenty million Baileys!"
"How many?"
Jon couldn't believe his ears, "What's going on? Pemberton, what do you want 200 million Baileys for?"
"The devil fruit is the devil fruit that Porusalino found last time. I want to buy it."
"You want that Devil Fruit? Do you know what kind of fruit it is? Also, did Porusalino really not turn it in?"
Pemberton looked solemn: "I asked Porusalino not to hand it over, and I have convinced other soldiers who know that they will not leak it."
"You also know that my talent is incomparable to yours, and my strength grows very slowly. If there are no accidents, I will probably be able to reach the level of a brigadier general in this life. If I want to improve further, the possibility is too low."
"If it were before, I wouldn't have cared much about it. At worst, I would have found a comfortable place to be a base commander. But after I have been with you for a long time, my mentality has also changed. The world is so wonderful. If I have been hiding in one place, Wouldn’t it be such a waste of 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 help. My uncle has already found out about the Devil Fruit we searched for before. It is the Superman-type Reheat Fruit. .”
"Wait a minute, you said that's the super-human Re-Re fruit?"
Jon suddenly interrupted Pemberton and asked Pemberton in surprise.
"Yes, it's the hot fruit."
"I see."
At this moment, Jon finally understood why the previous Charlotte Owen did not use her ability to fight him. It turned out that Owen had not eaten the Re-Re Fruit.
"My uncle said that the Rere 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 this, Pemberton looked at Jon expectantly. That look made Jon uncomfortable. He had never seen Pemberton look so persistent.
"This matter may be risky. Porusalino's words are fine, but you, can you really deal with those who know the truth?"
Pemberton 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 take Pemberton with him.
Although the relationship between the two is not as strong as that of Porusalino, they still have a very good relationship. If he can help, he will naturally not refuse.
It's just that Pemberton is different from Porusalino after all. Polusalino is a potential stock valued by the Navy's top brass. Becoming a lieutenant general is a sure thing, and becoming a general is also very possible.
Even if Porusalino secretly swallowed the Devil Fruit, he would not be severely punished if it was found out.
But Pemberton was different. He was just a naval captain, and his biggest supporter was his uncle who had taken a back seat. In terms of strength, status, and background, he was incomparable to Porusalino.
"That's why I came to you to borrow money. I paid 300 million beli to buy the Devil Fruit, of which you and Porusalino each have 100 million. The remaining 100 million will be divided among the few people who know about it. their mouths.”
"If I spend so much money, they will realize it. Even if it is found out later that the devil fruit has been eaten, they will not be able to make me spit it out, right?"
Jon chuckled: "You think quite well. Since you have spoken, I will definitely help you. You come to me, which means that the other people have been convinced. I can lend you the money, but I What I want to ask is, how do you know I have money to lend you?"
Two hundred million Baileys is not a small sum. He is from the South China Sea. Even his father, who is a base commander, cannot afford that much money, let alone his salary.
"My uncle told me."
"Oh yes."
Jon suddenly slapped his forehead. He had forgotten about this. Pemberton's uncle was transferred to the logistics department. It seemed that he also knew something about his business with the logistics department, so he asked Pemberton to borrow money.
"I will lend you the money, but if you want to give me 100 million beli, you don't need it. Don't refuse. I also have conditions. This 100 million beli will be regarded as my investment in you. If you change in the future, You are strong, if you want to continue to help me, you can't turn your back on me and deny me."
"screw you."
Pemberton smiled and punched Jon, "I don't like rushing in front. If I can always be your lieutenant, that's what I want."
"I don't have any money, and 200 million beli is not a small amount. You wait two days and ask your uncle to get the money. Be cautious. I'm not worried about Porusalino, but you still have to pay attention to the other people. point."
"Don't worry, they don't have the guts. I took the money and I guarantee they won't say a word."
Seeing the ruthless expression on Pemberton's face, Jon said nothing. Although they were both marines, they were still close to each other. In this matter, he must be supporting Pemberton.
After getting Jon's reply, Pemberton hurried out of the residence, apparently going to prepare.
Jon also left Pemberton's residence, sighing in his heart that the Rehot Fruit actually fell into their hands.
"This is a good fruit. If developed, it will be very powerful. I just don't know how far Pemberton can reach it?"
