The crucial part was imagining how strong a captain who could lead so many pirates must be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was rare for pirates to attack a Marine base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the pirates of the East Blue gone mad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assemble... wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Nezumi was about to order the soldiers to assemble but stopped mid-sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Admiral Garp's ship is still at the dock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Nezumi suddenly remembered this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know where Vice Admiral Garp had gone, but the soldiers on the ship were still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the elites who had followed Vice Admiral Garp to conquer the pirates of the New World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Vice Admiral Garp's adjutant, Captain Bogart, was holding down the fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Nezumi immediately calmed down and led his men to rush towards the docks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was no danger, he naturally had to show the right attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be embarrassing if the fight was over before he even arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alarm continued to sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the town surrounding the Marine base, the residents were all bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What in the world was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the docks, Bogart gave a loud command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers on the warship moved quickly, and the ship's cannons were already aimed in the direction indicated by the lookout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart was also a bit baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp's warship was a standard Marine battleship, much larger than a pirate ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a large warship here, a pirate ship still dared to charge over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't realized the pirates of the East Blue were this brave before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart had a suspicious look on his face as he stood on the bow, watching the rapidly approaching pirate ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his eyesight, he could naturally see a figure standing on the bow of the speeding pirate ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it got closer, Bogart raised his hand, preparing to give the order, but then his brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the—that person looks a bit familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sense of familiarity made Bogart hold back the order to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marine soldiers, for their part, didn't find it strange and remained on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, it's that guy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus had changed a lot in the past year, especially his physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was much taller and more muscular than a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his facial features hadn't changed much, though he had lost much of his youthful air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart found him familiar because he had only seen him from a distance back in Shimotsuki Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, thinking about the purpose of his current visit, he put two and two together and realized who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wasn't this guy a Pirate Hunter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he become a pirate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Nezumi had also arrived and saw that the soldiers on Garp's warship were ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had yet to open fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask and could only watch obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, along with some workers at the port, they watched as the speeding pirate ship approached the dock, only to suddenly slow down and pull alongside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the bow, Cyrus had spotted the dog-headed warship from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was puzzled, he didn't hesitate and directly ordered the pirates to slow down and approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirate ship came to a steady stop at the dock, not far from the massive Marine warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart stood on the warship's bow, his hand on his sword hilt, looking down at the pirate ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From here, he could see clearly that the pirate ship was packed with pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The proportions are wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, what is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a glance, Bogart saw that many of the pirates were injured, and there was a pile of heads in one area, which no pirate went near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this guy went out to catch pirates, and then used a ship to transport them here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what is this situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many Pirate Crews did he attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Bogart was still puzzled, Cyrus leaped down from the pirate ship below, landing in front of Captain Nezumi on the dock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I brought you some merits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus pointed at the pirate ship behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Nezumi looked completely lost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus's words had clearly caused Captain Nezumi's brain to short-circuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of decent person catches pirates and brings the pirate ship along too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it's Cyrus. Never mind then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Nezumi suddenly remembered that the first time he met Cyrus, the guy had brought in a whole ship of pirates in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the heads peering over from the pirate ship, a dense, dark mass of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You're not taking them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Captain Nezumi not answering, Cyrus frowned and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll take them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange voice rang out. Bogart came down from the warship, followed by squads of Marine soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They will assist you in detaining these pirates,\" Bogart ordered Captain Nezumi as he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were the same rank, a Captain from Headquarters was one level higher than a branch Captain of the same rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Bogart watched as the soldiers who boarded the pirate ship escorted the pirates off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the pirates were brought down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there clearly weren't enough hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch of several dozen pirates was escorted to the Marine base for detention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're Cyrus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cyrus watched the Marines escorting his money bags away, Bogart spoke up beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Vice Admiral Garp's adjutant, Bogart. I've seen you before, in Shimotsuki Village,\" Bogart introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus nodded, not turning his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attitude made Bogart's lips twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Admiral Garp came from Headquarters this time because of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me again? But I'm not interested in joining the Marines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus shook his head directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Aren't you upholding justice by catching pirates? Is there anything more just than the Marines?\" Bogart asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Justice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus was taken aback and turned his head to look at Bogart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally wanted to retort about the Marines' so-called justice, but after thinking about it, he gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Marines were impossible to reason with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I catch pirates for money!\" Cyrus thought for a moment and gave an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marines' salary is not low,\" Bogart immediately said upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not low? Then what's your salary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus was amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four million Belly a month!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart didn't hide it and answered the question honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four million Belly, and you're a Marine Headquarters Captain. So an admiral probably makes double that at most, maybe a fleet admiral makes a bit more, and then there are benefits and such,\" Cyrus said in a relaxed tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do you know how much this ship full of weakling pirates is worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weakling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart had never heard this word, but he could roughly guess its meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eighty million to one hundred million Belly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus gave the answer, and Bogart fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was two years of his salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from his perspective, these pirates were very weak. He wouldn't even need to draw his sword to defeat them easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long did it take you to catch them?\" Bogart asked, swallowing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About half a month, I guess. Of course, you can count it as a month,\" Cyrus said with a wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogart had to admit, he was tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-05T17:57:20.097Z",1,"novelbin.me","a25b27474fc87143b67ab9076fe4650325d13d2889807b8c8c5c0226a128d29f","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-44","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-42",263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-bounty-hunter-king-cover.jpg"]
