The logbook of a retired knight

【76】

Sengoku's perception of Hawkeye and Andrea is okay.

Leaving aside the influence of Rossindi, both of them are among the best swordsmen.The difference is that one is a pirate and the other is a bounty hunter.But it is better to fight alone than to gather and make troubles.

Especially Andrea... She is not a pirate, and she often deals with pirates in exchange for bounties, which saves the navy a lot of trouble.

It was also because she seemed quite friendly everywhere that Zhan Guo came to talk to her about it.

As soon as these words came out, it meant to have a private conversation.

But Andrea didn't evade immediately, but said bluntly: "Mihawk is not an outsider, you can just say it."

Although Andrea originally meant that Hawkeye was her friend, she was frank and didn't need to hide anything...Of course, it sounds different from the Warring States side——Okay, okay, I know You are no longer outsiders!No need to emphasize it!

Now that Andrea said so, Sengoku didn't ask any more, but directly talked about this commission: "Miss Sword Ghost, do you know the fruit of the surgery?"

As soon as these words came out, Hawkeye, who was originally lacking in interest, looked over and frowned slightly.

But Andrea looked at Hawkeye after being dazed.

Hawkeye noticed this and said bluntly: "It is a kind of superhuman devil fruit. It is said that it has the ability to give people eternal life, so it is also called the ultimate devil fruit."

Andrea immediately understood - since ancient times, no matter which world, immortality has been a topic that will drive people into a frenzy when it is mentioned.Especially for short-lived species.

But for Andrea, immortality lacks interest.The world she lived in before also had long-lived species like elves, and this world also had giants whose lifespan was three times that of ordinary people.

But the next sentence of Warring States made her hesitate immediately.

"The government is willing to pay 50 billion pele for the purchase."

Andrea was really shocked by the price—after all, the pirate with the highest bounty, that is, Edward Newgate with the white beard, has a bounty of 50 billion Baileys even if he erases the odds.

Although no one can take down Whitebeard and go to the world government to exchange this 50 billion... But from this point, we can see the value and importance of the fruit of the operation.

"Currently the government has received news that the fruit of the operation appeared in the North Sea... If Miss Sword Demon is interested, as long as you bring the fruit of the operation, the 50 billion Berries will be yours."

When Andrea heard this, she nodded to show that she understood.At the same time, she glanced at Sabo and asked another question: "I remember that the white town in Beihai was destroyed... Did the royal family of that country take refuge in advance?"

Zhan Guo was taken aback, not quite understanding what the other party meant by asking this.As an admiral of the navy, he is naturally well aware of the affairs of the white town.If Andrea asked whether the platinum lead disease was an infectious disease, for the sake of the world government's face, he would definitely not be able to tell the truth.But just asking about the royal family, and the other party seems to be the fallen royal family...

Zhan Guo hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Yes."

Andrea verified her previous conjecture and sighed: "I see."

Warring States is a transaction, rather than revealing a piece of information.

After he finished speaking, he left politely, and before he left, he praised Andrea's child for taking care of it well-he said this sincerely, and seeing Ace's lively appearance, he really did take care of her well.That is, if he knew the real identity of the other party, I am afraid that he would not be so purely emotional at this time.

Andrea felt a little guilty in her heart, but her face was still very stable. She nodded politely, thanked the other party for her compliment, and grabbed Ace who was about to climb on the roof, and was given to Warring States Say thank you.

After Warring States left, Sabo and Ace also came over, their eyes shining.

Ace: "Mom! How much is 50 billion? Is it a lot?"

Sabo: "Mr. Whitebeard's reward is 50 billion. Is the fruit of the operation worth one Mr. Whitebeard!"

Andrea put down the teacup in her hand, stretched out her fingers and flicked Sabo's forehead: "Be polite to Mr. Whitebeard! Don't treat people as conversion tools!"

Andrea felt that the two children were too idle, so she asked them to help the people in the tavern—the tavern they stayed in was run by the proprietress and her 17-year-old daughter. It's hard work, and he is also enthusiastic. Seeing that Saboes is young, he gave two people a bottle of milk for free. It is also appropriate to do a little favor.

And after the two children went obediently, Andrea also chatted with Hawkeye about serious matters.

"You decided to find the fruit of the operation?" Hawkeye asked directly.

"I'm not interested in the fruit of the operation, but I'm interested in the things behind it." Andrea didn't hide her little friend, and bluntly expressed her true thoughts, "The general of the Warring States came to tell me this on purpose, I guess they also have the idea of ​​not wanting the fruit of the operation to fall into the hands of the pirates."

Whether it is a greedy pirate taking it to exchange money with the government, or a pirate who has a bigger picture and takes the fruit of the operation without knowing it, it is not what the world government wants to see.

Under these circumstances, Andrea is indeed the best candidate for the client—she is strong enough, not ambitious, has a good relationship with the world government, and has no outrageous behavior.And is currently the strongest bounty hunter.

When Warring States came to say this, they didn't expect Andrea to be able to get the fruit of the operation. In fact, they just wanted to balance the forces that robbed the fruit of the operation.

Of course, if Andrea can bring the fruit, that would be the best situation - anyway, it's better than the pirates.

Andrea even thought about it a little deeper - besides her, the world government must also send some of its own people, right?

On the surface, I can be regarded as a force that is neutral and partial to the government... But in this way, the news of the fruit of the operation should be true.

She is not interested in devil fruit and eternal life, but she also knows that the power upgrade that devil fruit represents, even if after eating it, it will be restrained by Hailou stone and drown, but there are still groups of people flocking to it.

Andrea and Hawkeye share many similarities, but also have considerable differences.

The most obvious one is that, as a person who has been educated by the family since childhood and wants to represent the family to choose the support of the crown prince, Andrea's attention and participation in politics and the overall situation are much stronger than Hawkeye.

If Hawkeye belongs to the "Oh, I know, then what" kind of independent farmer, Andrea is "No, I have to find a way to figure it out, if I don't get involved, at least I can't be mixed in." "type.

like this time...

Andrea finally made a decision: "Sure enough, I still want to go to Beihai... Mihawk, are you not interested in this?"

Hawkeye nodded to show that he understood: "No. If you encounter a strong enemy, remember to let me know when you come back."

Hawkeye has great trust in the strength of his little partner. Of course, this is not to say that if Andrea can't beat him, he will help find a place, but that if Andrea recognizes the strong, it is necessary to fight. sex.

Andrea understands the other party's logic very well, because she thinks the same way, otherwise, how could the two become friends with the red hair, and still catch people and fight from time to time.You must know that after the three of them became friends, there was never a time when the redhead took the initiative to challenge this discussion.

As for Hawkeye's words, she answered straight away: "No problem."

If you want to go to Beihai, this route will be a bit troublesome.

However, because this time it was an invitation from the Warring States Period, it was considered semi-official, so when Andrea asked the Navy to provide a convenient official channel to go to the North Sea, the Warring States Period agreed—this request is not too much, he will Give the pass, and Andrea will follow the navy ship through the windless belt and enter the North Sea.

Ordinary ships are like enemies in the calm zone, because most ships are sailing ships, and they are directly trapped when they enter the calm zone, and there are many Neptunes in the calm zone.

However, naval ships are equipped with sea stones and are powered, so they can also travel in calm areas.

Of course, Andrea wasn't in such a hurry to hurry. The news about the results of the left and right surgery had just come out. She couldn't find it by herself.

She still went to the capital of water first—for the water and water meat that Ace has been thinking about these days, and also to avoid the soul-destroying pepper flavor that Ace recently liked in Alabasta.

Neither Andrea nor Sabo like this perverted spicy taste that is said to have eaten people to death. They watched Ace eating plates of spaghetti with pepper sauce as if he was challenging the record, and then the The villagers applauded him dumbfounded.

Because it was too shocking, Andrea even took out a camera and took a picture with a phone bug to commemorate her—you know, she is not really a person who likes to take pictures, and she just took a photo for Ace’s birthday every year as a commemoration of his growth. .

Sabo: "Ace is amazing..."

Ace: "Hmph!"

Andrea: "This is not something to be proud of!"

Although she said so, Andrea still bought the soul-killing pepper and went back.

And said that when Ace wants to eat this taste, he will make it by himself, and she and Sabo will never help to make it.

When they came to the city of water slowly, Ace and Sabo were eating water meat, and the blue they were riding turned around and swallowed the water meat while they were not paying attention, so the two children and a blue pinch When she got up, Andrea was holding the newspaper, looking at the headlines, and was taken aback——Murloc Fisher Tiger raided Mary Gioia and freed thousands of slaves?

At the same time, Tiger's reward list also came out-2 million Berry.

Mariejoya is the headquarters of the world government and the residence of the noble Tianlong people of the world.

As the first person to cause trouble in this place, the murloc Tiger's bounty went from zero to more than 2 million, which is not surprising.Andrea had a good impression of this kind of person who dared to directly declare war on authority and succeeded. She couldn't help but praise, and then heard two splashes of falling into the water behind her...

She turned her head to look, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "You two brats! As a human being, you are fighting for food with Bruce!"
