"Since the heads of these people cannot be exchanged for the power of the phantom beasts, I will give them to you."
After knowing that what he had done before was useless, Mihawk decisively threw all the pirate heads he had collected to Ace, and then he stepped on his coffin and left in the boat.
He is going to the new world to kill the emperor's deputy!
"Is there a lump on your head?"
Ace frowned and looked at the box that was still dripping with blood. The emotional deck did not need to be cleaned by Hawkeye. His behavior made the orderly angry.
"But it doesn't matter. It just so happens that Iska and the others' military ranks are still a bit low, so these four bounties should be hung on their heads."
Ace's attitude towards accepting military honors falling from the sky is not as resistant as that of some naval admirals, especially considering Mihawk's intention. These heads are regarded as Iska's trophies, so Ace will I won't refuse anymore.
You know, if you don’t enter the new world, in the first half of the Great Line and all over the world, the number of pirates with a bounty of over 100 million can be counted in two hands. The pirates who usually stop at Gaya Island usually only have a bounty of 18 million. , I didn’t expect so many pirates with bounties worth over 100 million to dock at Gaya Island in recent times.
"Are these guys this year's supernovas?"
Generally speaking, pirates who enter the Grand Line for the first time and have a bounty of over 100 million are hailed as supernovas of the year and receive much attention.
Ace didn't pay attention to who this year's supernovas were, but looking at the faces of these four pirates, they must be in their thirties or forties at least. Isn't it a bit too old to be the so-called new stars?
Kerra immediately brought the information about this year's supernova. After carefully comparing it, she replied with some surprise, "Ace, these four pirates are not this year's supernova."
"[Ghost Sword] Buster, an animal type, bug fruit, and mantis form user, has a bounty of 135 million Baileys. According to the data, he entered the new world a year and a half ago. His whereabouts are a mystery.”
"[Fallen Duke] Gulan Yis, a superhuman and sonic fruit user with a bounty of 116.4 million Baileys. He was once the Duke of a certain kingdom in the North Sea. He was wanted for attacking the king and then went to sea. Four Enter the new world years ago.”
"[Treasure hunter] Kenzie, a user with the ability of the animal type, rat fruit, and mole form, has a bounty of 180,180,000 beli. He entered the new world ten years ago, and his whereabouts have been erratic since then. "
"[Devil Guide] Durantin, a great swordsman, possesses a good sword, Lanqi, and has a bounty of 10.5 million beli. He was a supernova the year before last. He did not enter the new world after arriving at the Chambord Islands. Instead, he started wandering around in the first half of the Grand Line.”
After hearing the relevant information reported by Kerla, Sabo looked at the four heads on the ground with some confusion.
Good guys, the old pirates from ten years ago have appeared. Three of these four have entered the new world. What is their purpose of returning to the first half of the Grand Line this time?
"Have there been any recent activities on Gaya Island?"
The first thing that Sabo thought of was some kind of auction or treasure map. Only this kind of thing can make several "big" pirates who have entered the new world choose to risk their lives and return to the Grand Line.
In response to Sabo's inquiry, Kerla shook her head in embarrassment. After all, they had just arrived here, so naturally they could not answer Sabo's doubts.
Sabo didn't pay attention to this. He ordered the warships to dock at the port of Gaya Island, and then asked some navies to disperse and collect intelligence.
Generally speaking, in a place like Gaya Island where pirates gather, if ordinary navy dares to step into it, they will die. However, the battle between Iska and Mihawk made the pirates on Gaya Island quite... Afraid, they naturally didn't dare to mess with the navy because of Luffy and others' signs.
It has to be said that after ten years of completing a wave of surfing, almost all the idiots who went to sea with passion because of Roger's words died. There are very few pirates who are still active on the sea today. Kind of mindless.
Soon, the navy soldiers returned to the warship with miscellaneous news. They collected a lot of intelligence, but almost none of it was related to the four big pirates.
"Vice Admiral Luffy, their crew was basically wiped out by Hawkeye, and we couldn't find a reason for them to be here."
Listening to the navy's report, Luffy sighed. He thought he would encounter something fun.
Blue~Blue~!
After comforting Luffy, who was a little disappointed, Nami's phone rang in her pocket. It was from Ain who was far away at the Navy Headquarters.
"whats the matter?"
Nami glanced at the orderly who was cleaning on the deck, then she walked to the railing and gently pressed her right index finger on her temple.
Ace, who was far away at the Navy Headquarters, was slightly relieved after hearing Nami's voice. She immediately said to Nami, "Nami, there are currently four pirates on Gaya Island with a bounty of over 100 million. Three of them are from In the New World, he returned to the Grand Line through the World Government's channels by bribing World Government personnel.
According to the investigation of the headquarters and the analysis of Staff He, the purpose of their gathering on Gaya Island this time is to form a pirate alliance. "
Nami nodded with some surprise. Is Ain the roundworm in their stomachs? The investigation on Gaya Island has just reached a bottleneck, and Ain has its own guess?
"Alliance for what?"
Nami didn't talk nonsense. She knew that Ain must have made a guess or a definite conclusion before informing them in a hurry.
As Nami expected, Ain immediately revealed a person's name, "Captain John! To be precise, it's Captain John's treasure!"
"Nami, do you remember the Devil's Triangle that you have been to before? According to the intelligence from the underground world, Captain John, who was once all-powerful in the new world, was buried on an unknown island after his death. Someone followed the clues and found him. When we arrived at the island, we found that Captain John’s grave had been dug up.”
"Based on the remaining clues and information, people in the underground world have determined that the person who dug up Captain John's body was none other than Moonlight Moria of the former King's Shichibukai!"
"These four big pirates gathered together to deal with Moria and the treasure left by Captain John!"
Captain John was a great pirate who once followed the pirate overlord Rocks. He had countless treasures. After Rocks died, most of the treasures were swept away by the golden lion Shiji, and a small part fell to the ground. into the hands of Captain John, which also made him a "fat sheep" in the eyes of many people.
Even the treasure map circulated in Captain John's name after his death is priceless!
Moonlight Moria's Shadow Fruit can briefly revive people. If you can get information about the treasure he hid from the dead Captain John, then this is definitely a harvest that no one can resist!
"It looks like we have to go to the Devil's Triangle again."
Sabo didn't know when he came to Nami's side. He smiled and looked at Ace and Luffy who were also approaching.
"Let's go to the Terror Barque again!"
Ace also showed a hearty smile.
You can't catch a sheep to pluck out its wool, but if you pluck it twice, it's still okay, right?
For Moria, a fat sheep, Ace felt that it wouldn't be a problem to pick him up a few more times. After all, the other party was a pirate.
Captain John's treasure, just by spreading his name, is enough to make many pirates with low ambitions salivate, and even the navy will take action.
The warship quickly returned to the G-8 branch and took the pirates on board into custody. After confirming the heads of the four big pirates, Luffy and the others headed towards the Devil's Triangle in a hurry.
"Iska, don't forget, you are from our G-8 branch!"
When Iska set off, Jonathan told Iska very solemnly. He was originally the deputy base director of the G-3 branch. Because he managed the G-3 branch in an orderly manner, the headquarters asked him to transfer He became the base director of the G-8 branch.
When he left, he was so stupid that he brought Iska's parents to the G-8 branch. In this way, the G-8 branch became Iska's "natal family"!
If Captain John's treasure can really be found, Jonathan hopes that Iska can take more care of his "natal family".
You must know that building the G-8 branch into such an iron barrel fortress requires a large amount of funds. If Lieutenant General Jonathan had not had a high reputation in the headquarters, logistics would not have approved so much funds to him.
Iska patted Lieutenant General Jonathan's arm on her shoulder helplessly, "Don't worry, Uncle Jonathan, I can't guarantee anything else. At least for the sake of the G-8 branch, I will definitely stay. "
After communicating with Jonathan, Luffy and others calmly boarded the ship and left the port of the G-8 branch. At the same time, Kerra also dialed the number in the Devil's Triangle under Sabo's instructions. Moria's phone bug.
This time when he went to find Moriah, Ace didn't plan to use the name of the missing soldier. After all, no matter what missing soldier, it had nothing to do with Captain John, so it was better to get straight to the point.
The devil's triangle sea area, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.
In the scary castle, Moriah was leisurely sipping coffee, and several zombie maids were standing beside him carrying meals.
More than half a month has passed since the three Ace brothers caused a scene on the terrifying barque. Although Moria was very annoyed that he had lost a general, he still had to look forward to the future. After half a month, After many months of adjusting his mentality, he finally let go of Absalom's death.
"Where is Perona again?"
While sipping tea, Moria asked the zombie maid next to him. Currently, apart from him, there is only one living person in the horror castle, his adopted daughter Perona, and all the others are for Moria's use. Zombies created by the Shadow Fruit.
"Reporting to Lord Moria, Miss Perona took the zombie army to play in the back mountain."
The zombie maid immediately answered Moria's question. Because she had no play partners, Perona, who was still young, especially liked to play with the weird zombie soldiers. With Moria's orders, the zombie soldiers also regarded Perona as The second owner, so there is no need to worry about Perona's safety.
"The mountain behind..."
Moria was silent. When he mentioned the mountain behind the castle, he couldn't help but think of the dragon horse corpse that he had been "begged" to take away. You must know that it was the zombie material that was crucial for him to return to the top of the world!
"Fortunately, although there is no Ryoma corpse, according to the information purchased from the underground world, I will soon be able to obtain a more powerful corpse."
Although Moriah felt humiliated after being defeated at the hands of Ace, he did not think there was anything wrong with his actions.
Absalom's death strengthened his determination to build a zombie army. He didn't want to lose any more partners!
"However, we still need to invite a surgeon first. Even if he is a strong man, most of the corpses left behind after death are in tatters and are completely unable to exert the fighting power they should have."
Moria sighed, and he thought of Ryoma's corpse again. As a top swordsman, Shigeyue Ryoma was extremely powerful and also very good at armed domineering. His bones were strengthened to a certain extent because of his domineering. .
Compared with those tattered corpses, even if the shadow of an ordinary swordsman is placed on Ryoma's corpse, it can exert one or two percent of his original strength.
If the shadow of a top swordsman can be found and cut into Ryoma's corpse, the former dragon-slaying warrior may really be able to return!
When he thought of this, Moria couldn't help but wailed.
"Portcas D. Ace, you deserve to die a thousand times!"
Blue!
Blue!
The sudden ringing of a phone bug startled Moria, and the curse he had just yelled disappeared in an instant.
Moriah took out the phone bug from his arms. Looking at the orange-haired girl simulated by the phone bug, he felt his mouth and tongue were numb.
It's going to happen!
Could it be that he cursed Ace and Ace knew about it?
That's not right. He just cursed Ace. Even if someone passed the news to Ace, Ace wouldn't be able to come to his door so soon!
Bah!
After thinking for about three seconds, Moria decided to answer the call.
The reason was simple. He couldn't beat Ace. In order to prevent Ace from coming to "search" for "missing soldiers" again, he thought it would be better to listen to what the other party had going on.
"What's up."
After the phone bug was connected, Moria showed a show of teeth and claws. He sent all the zombie maids away to prevent his possible cowardice from being spread.
When Moria's appearance was vividly imitated by the phone bug, Kerra immediately handed the phone bug to Sabo. At the same time, the simulated appearance of the phone bug in Moria's hand also changed into a blond boy.
Sabo looked at the phone bug in his hand and smiled, "Long time no see, Moria, the weather is nice today, how have you been lately?"
