Chapter 121: Announcement of the bounty for the officers of the Lionheart Pirates
As soon as Ren's words of chasing people out came out, the people chatting in the bar suddenly fell silent.
Red hair: "..."
Ben Beckman: "..."
We have important matters to discuss, and everyone is waiting to leave as soon as possible. Is that what you mean?
Hearing these words of dismissal, at the long table, the red-haired man and Ben Beckman glanced at each other subconsciously, their eyes a little surprised.
However, the two of them were very respectful to Ren, and without hesitation, they put down their wine glasses and stood up directly.
The red-haired man came to Shaqi's bar in Area 13 of the Shampoo Islands this time just to catch up with his former vice-captain, Rayleigh, and to ask about Fire Fist Ace's situation, nothing serious.
Since others are busy with business, they won't bother you.
"No problem, we happened to have almost finished drinking. Mr. Reilly, Margao, we'll leave first."
The red-haired man smiled and said hello to everyone, then left with Ben Beckman.
When I went out, I closed the door behind me.
Outside the bar, the sky is clear and sunny, and the green grassy slope is paved with stone steps that extend to the blocks below.
Ben Beckman was walking on the steps with a cigarette in his mouth, looking thoughtful, and said:
"Ren asked us to leave. There must be some secret plan that would not be convenient for too many people to know...could it be related to the mysterious person who appeared that night a few days ago?"
The identity of the mysterious man, he speculated at the time, was Long, the leader of the revolutionary army.
Later, Admiral Kizaru and CP0's people searched the entire island overnight, which indirectly confirmed his guess. Little people or small fish do not get such treatment.
"Maybe."
The red-haired man was thoughtful, but he didn't think too much, looked at the blue and clear sky, yawned, and said casually, "It's probably not aimed at us, so don't worry about it.
Moreover, I always feel that Ren dislikes us and they don’t want to take us to play.”
Ben Beckman: "..."
dislike?
To be precise, it's precaution.
However, even if Ren had any plans, it wouldn't be for the red-haired pirates, otherwise he wouldn't be able to talk to Rayleigh, who has a close relationship with Shanks.
After all, the captain and Rayleigh were both members of the Roger Pirates and had a very good relationship.
Ben Beckman stopped when he thought of this, suppressing his curiosity and not exploring further.
Since it has nothing to do with them, there's no need to think too much about it.
Even if the Revolutionary Army and the Lionheart Pirates get together, the World Government will most likely be the unlucky one. They can just watch the show.
…………
In the bar, after Renn sensed the two idlers leaving, he walked to the long table and sat down opposite Reilly.
Dislike is out of the question.
However, the red-haired guy is mysterious and his stance is a bit suspicious.
Although Renn didn't think he would be the kind of duplicitous and hidden evil person, he still kicked him out of the group chat just to be on the safe side.
"Even Shanks has been driven away, what's the matter?" Old Man Rayleigh looked at him curiously, holding a glass of cold beer.
Xia Qi, Xiao Ma Ge and "Foil Sword" Bista also looked inquiring.
Shanks was actually not considered an outsider, but he was still unceremoniously excluded by Ren, making them curious about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"I have a plan and I need your cooperation. It's like this. You first..."
Ren's voice was unhurried as he revealed to them part of the information about the plan he and Long had made.
This plan is called "Leading the Snake out of the Hole", and it does not require "Pluto" Rayleigh, Shaqi and the Whitebeard Pirates to do it themselves, as long as they cooperate tacitly.
"That's it, no problem!"
After Ren finished speaking, Xiao Ma patted his chest and readily agreed to his request.
It can deceive the World Government without requiring the Whitebeard Pirates to actually take action. Even if the plan fails, there is no risk to them, so of course he will not refuse.
Just in time to repay the favor the Whitebeard Pirates owe to the Lionheart Pirates.
"Excellent plan, Ren, I'm a little curious about who your partner is."
The female boss Xia Qi held her cigarette in her mouth and blew out a puff of smoke, with curiosity in her eyes.
As an information dealer, she was very interested in ruthless people who dared to make py deals with the Demon King and commit crimes against the wind at such a turbulent time.
"No comment." Renn said with a cold expression without revealing anything about the dragon.
Xia Qi: "..."
The little brother is really cautious in doing things.
She was a little impressed. If someone else had such strength at the age of the swordsman Ren, and had done so many world-shaking events, even if he didn't get carried away, he would still be a little inflated.
But Renn is still neither arrogant nor impatient.
He is very confident and bold, but he never underestimates the intelligence and abilities of others.
"You just need to make some noise at the right time." Renn looked at her and added.
Except for the people from the White Group, he actually did not come to see Old Man Lei Li this time, but wanted to deliberately leak some information through Xia Qi, a local snake and intelligence dealer in the Shampoo Islands.
"I understand, I understand, sister is the tool to carry out orders."
Xia Qi put his hands on the counter, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled, "Brother Ren, do you get paid for working for you?"
"Yes, but the blame lies with old man Rayleigh. Who asked him to let me go?"
Ren picked up the wine glass and said a little unhappy.
If Rayleigh could have arrived in time, it might have been the last straw that broke the navy's defense line, and this battle wouldn't have been so hard.
Reilly: "..."
If he just sits there and drinks without talking, can the fire burn him?
However, seeing Ren's disgusted expression, the old man felt a little guilty.
It seemed that he had truly promised that he would arrive at Malinfando on time when the war started, but in the end... he only took care of Trafalgar Law's submarine after the war, and he hardly helped at all.
"Ahem, little brother, CP0 is staring at me, there's nothing I can do about it." Lei Li decisively put the blame on him and said with a helpless expression.
You can't blame him, it's all the World Government's fault.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Although it was rare for him to be let go, which made him a little unhappy, he knew that the old man was held back by CP0 and did not miss it on purpose, and Renn did not hold on to this point.
He drank the red wine in the goblet and asked:
"How's Fire Fist doing?"
"To be on the safe side, we let Trafalgar Law's submarine dive into the bottom of the sea again to avoid searches by the CP department and the navy. Ace was still being rescued in the operating room inside the submarine...
The situation is not optimistic, Luo said, it will take at least a week before the results will be available."
Brother Ma said with a serious expression, his eyes still full of worry.
The injuries were too serious, and there were no signs that Esko was out of danger. It could even be said that his life was still hanging by a thread.
"Are the guards in the submarine strong enough?" Renn nodded and asked again.
Even if a submarine remains on the bottom of the sea, it may not necessarily be safe. Trafalgar Law can get a submarine, but the World Government can't?
Dr. Vegapunk, a top scientist who is said to be 500 years ahead of his time, can even manufacture era-changing biological weapons like the "Pacifist", let alone a submarine.
Besides, given the government's background, it's not surprising that there are several fish-men killers in the CP department.
"Don't worry about this. The submarine is very hidden. There are Jozi, Jinbei, Ivankov and Straw Hat outside the operating room guarding it 24 hours a day."
Foil Bista opened his mouth to explain.
This man was not in very good condition, with many bandages on his body, and a hint of weakness and exhaustion in his voice.
This was caused by Bai Long. Her storm was extremely lethal, and her foil sword was almost dismembered by the wind blade. Not only was she seriously injured, but she also lost a lot of blood and has not recovered yet.
He was relatively well, and his armor was strong enough. Half of the other captains of the white group were still lying on the boat, needing intravenous fluids and sling bottles to heal their injuries.
Looking at Bista, who had not yet regained his breath, Ren couldn't help but think of the cheap sister who was getting more and more abnormal, and his face twitched slightly.
She is really strong now, even a little unpredictable.
The conversation was over, and Ren didn't stay much longer, and then left.
After leaving "Aunt Xia's Rip-off Bar", he stood on the grassy hillside and thought for a moment before walking towards area 60.
In Shampoo Islands, each area has different facilities and functions.
Areas 60 to 69 mainly include naval stations, entrances and exits of government departments, etc.
Of course, Renn is not going to cause trouble this time. There have been enough fights and killings during this period, and Brother Flathead is not even so busy, so he should rest for a few days.
He just went to visit.
They have been stranded in the Shampoo Islands for three days, and the ship's coating is almost completed. Tomorrow morning, the Lionheart Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will dive into the bottom of the sea together and head to the New World from Fish-Man Island.
If you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to meet her again.
Of course, it's best to wait until evening.
…………
Area 50, along the coast.
There were several benches on the deck of the Lion, and Nana was lying lazily on them, wearing sunglasses and sunbathing.
She picked up the iced lemon juice and took a sip, then picked up a newspaper she had just bought, covered her face, and prepared to take a nap.
Eating and waiting to die... A leisurely day passed by again.
"Cadres, come here quickly, I have something good to show you."
At this time, Wen Xi ran to the deck wearing flowery pants, shirtless and excited, waving a stack of paper in his hand and shouting.
"What's the ghost's name?"
Nana took off the newspaper from her face and glared at him, "I lost contact with you for two nights before coming back. The captain found out and had to break your legs."
This guy still knows how to come back, why doesn't he prostitute himself until he is exhausted?
Wen Xi: "..."
(???ε???), can what happens to men be called prostitution?
Besides, the captain himself also visited the brothel. It is said that he went with "Pluto" Rayleigh, and the news spread among the girls.
Two perverts, one old and one young, prostituted themselves at the most exclusive club in the Chambord Islands for three consecutive days, leaving a geisha named Xiao Yuan still asking for leave and unable to come out to pick up clients...
After learning the news, Wen Xi became a little worried about the female secretary Kalifa.
Can her small body withstand the abuse of the captain? Could it be that she was damaged?
Of course, as a very smart subordinate, the boss only needs to know about his dark history and must not publicize it.
Wen Xi coughed lightly and waved a stack of paper in his hand:
"Sister Na, don't get me wrong, I just want you to see this."
"What the hell?"
Nana glanced at him and mumbled nonchalantly, "It's too hard for wiping butts. It shouldn't be toilet paper. Could it be yellow magazine?"
Wen Xi: "..."
(；一_一), speechless, he is not so bored yet.
After being choked many times, Wen Xi stopped trying to keep his mouth shut and shouted:
"This is a bounty list. Come and take a look. It contains the latest bounties for all the cadres of the Lionheart Pirates!"
As soon as these words came out, the boat immediately became lively.
"Really, it's been released?"
"Quick, let me see!"
"Hahahaha, is there me on the list? I should be on the list too, right?"
The sailors on the bow immediately became excited and gathered around shouting.
Kaku, Gabra, Kalifa, as well as the swordsman Marcel and Mr. 3 Gal Dino, who were doing daily exercises, all crowded over.
On the mast, Rob Lucci, who was constantly jumping in the air and practicing the Six-Style Moon Step, also jumped down, with a bit of curiosity on his face.
Xiliu and Barrett were playing chess on the balcony on the second floor. When they heard the shouts of everyone, they turned their attention.
Pirates more or less pay attention to their bounties.
This is originally one of the measures of a pirate's achievement and reputation. If the bounty is too low, he will be too embarrassed to brag to others.
Even an aloof (sultry) man like Sauron likes to see his bounty go up, which is also one of the joys of sailing.
Whoosh~
No one was as fast as Nana. The afterimage flashed and the stack of reward flyers in Wen Xi's hand disappeared as the wind roared.
Nana grabbed the stack of reward sheets, stood on the bench, and said with a smile:
"Today, let Sister Na announce the bounty for you scum, trash, gangsters and idiots!"
Wen Xi: "..."
Why do you have to look at him when you talk about a fool? (??д??)
Lucci, Kalifa, Kaku, Bruno: "..."
There was nothing else, they just wanted to ask if there were any other options.
Even Barrett and Yuzhiliu twitched their lips when they heard her words.
No matter how speechless everyone was, Nana was so confident that she took out the first reward list and announced like a host:
"Captain, King of Demons, Francis D. Lane, 3.886 billion Baileys!"
Everyone already knows this.
The bounty list has not been issued yet, but some well-informed newspapers with connections within the World Government announced it in advance. Now it has only been confirmed.
Therefore, the crew just shouted a few words about the captain's awesomeness. When they first learned the news, they had already discussed it excitedly.
"I, Fire Dragon Nana, give me 1 billion and 50 million Baileys!" Nana grabbed her reward list with an excited and excited face.
"Wow, Sister Na is awesome!"
"Awesome, the first time I made the list was 1 billion Baileys."
The crew members cheered, knowing that she was so good-looking, and many people started to praise her.
Some people were dissatisfied: "I think it's still too low. With Sister Na's strength, 2 billion beli is not too much. What are the three disasters and general stars? If you meet Sister Na, you will be beaten to death!"
Although Sister Na looks young, she is a real general and has fought against Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, White Dragon and Buddha's Warring States Period.
Except for Bai Long, who was indeed a bit invincible, the others couldn't suppress her.
"This is already an exaggeration."
Kalifa shook her head and explained, "The bounty ≠ strength is calculated based on the threat to the world government, the number and degree of evil committed, and it is cumulative.
Basically, the longer the activity lasts and the more serious the crimes, the higher the reward."
The bounty is just a vague reference standard.
It has something to do with strength, because the stronger the strength, the bigger the movement can usually be, but if you don't do evil things, the bounty will naturally not increase.
There are many pirates whose strength does not match the bounty.
The original Pirate Empress only had 80 million beli when she went on her first expedition, but her strength was certainly more than that.
The first time it was listed on the wanted list, it was worth 1 billion beli. The government saw Nana's amazing fighting power and the Lionheart Pirates' heinous crimes, so they forcibly raised it.
Rennes's situation, which increased by 2 billion Baileys at once, is unprecedented.
The main reason is that he sank Marinefendor and defeated the general. The nature and influence were too bad. Otherwise, if he just participated in the top war, he might not have even 2.5 billion beli.
"Hiryu of the Rain, former warden of Impel Down City, with a bounty of 550 million beli."
Nana took out another reward list and chanted.
On the balcony on the second floor, Yuzhiliu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
This bounty amount is not consistent with Shiliu's strength, but considering that he was a jailer before and this is the first time a bounty was placed on his head, it is already pretty good.
He had been imprisoned in the sixth level of infinite hell before, but he was imprisoned directly there without any reward.
"It's amazing, it's already catching up with Fire Fist Ace."
"No, Shiliu has never been at sea. I thought he could only get 300 million beli this time."
"Maybe the World Government is angry that he rebelled. It feels like he was deliberately targeted."
The crew members are already very satisfied with this result.
"Hey, finally here comes the big guy."
Nana picked up another bounty and raised her eyebrows, "The devil's descendant, Douglas Barrett, has a bounty of 1.242 billion Baileys, tsk tsk."
"It's amazing, she's even taller than Sister Na."
"That's totally normal. Barrett is a veteran pirate. He once roamed the sea with Roger, the Pirate King. There must have been bounties before."
"That's right, this is a second accumulation."
The crew members talked a lot, but they were not surprised that Barrett's bounty was higher.
On the chessboard, Yuzhiliu moved the cannon, blew up the opposite horse, and asked: "How much was your reward before?"
"I can't remember clearly, it should be about 400 million beli."
Barrett moved the car, hit Shiliu's cannon, and replied nonchalantly.
Around 400 million Baileys doesn’t sound high.
But in the era of Barrett's activities, bounties were not as exaggerated as this era.
The "Destroyer of Worlds" Bundy Wald only had 200 million beli, and the Green Pepper of the Cone only had 542 million beri. However, they were both famous pirates at that time.
It's not like now, when a "drought" Jack has a sky-high bounty of 1 billion Baileys, of course, 900 million of which may be ivory...
Subsequently, Nana announced other bounties.
Marcel Tubby, the former captain of the Blood Pirates, has a bounty of 150 million Baileys (he originally had a bounty of nearly 90 million Baileys.)
Rob Lucci, former CP department killer, bounty: 120 million Baileys.
Kaku, the former CP department killer, bounty: 76 million Baileys.
Werewolf Gabra, former CP department killer, bounty: 75 million Baileys.
Khalifa, former CP department killer, bounty: 60 million Baileys.
Mr.3 Gardino, the former senior agent of the "Baroque Work Agency", bounty: 98 million beli (originally 45 million beli).
…
Circe (Wen Xi), navigator of the Lionheart Pirates, bounty: 368 million Baileys (originally 20 million Baileys).
Not to mention Wen Xi, the bounties for the rest of them, who were on the list for the first time, were actually on the higher side.
This can be seen by comparing the original Pirate Queen’s first expedition with only 80 million beli.
The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that their captain was too hateful at this time. To a certain extent, they all took advantage of Ren, or took the blame together.
"Wen Xi, why is your bounty so high?"
"That's right, why, I only have a fraction of yours!"
When the bounty of navigator Wen Xi was finally announced, the crew members gathered around him excitedly and stared at him fiercely.
Everyone was sour.
Kaku, for example, said a bit dissatisfied: "It's strange, can the reward be increased for prostitution?"
Apart from prostitution until he lost contact, he couldn't see anything else about Wen Xi that was better than him.
Kalifa: "..."
(；一_一), but no, she can’t understand this kind of thing.
It's not that she's bragging. In a one-on-one challenge, she's at least slightly better than beating Wen Xi.
"There is a shady story, there must be a shady story!" The werewolf Gabra was also very unhappy.
His bounty was less than 100 million, but it turned out that the reward was almost 400 million, and he could be ranked among the top 5 in the Lionheart Pirates.
Wen Xi: "..."
There is a fart shady story.
"What's going on? Is your father a five-year-old star? He prefers you so much?" A crew member grabbed his clothes and looked unhappy.
Wen Xi: "..."
Don't be ridiculous, speak wisely.
His father is a five-old star, so he won't have a bounty.
"You don't understand this? Because I snatched the phone bug and let the whole world see how embarrassing the navy is."
Wen Xi spread his hands, looking innocent.
The bounty was put on the table and everyone in the Lionheart Pirates except the captain and the three top cadres were killed. They were invincible and so lonely.
