Chapter 360

~7 min read 1,202 words

Second half of the Grand Line, Dressrosa Kingdom Adventurers Headquarters.

"Tsk tsk tsk, 17.8 billion Berries! That's really a tempting chip! Done! After finishing this job, why be an adventurer anymore!"

The speaker was a man with an honest face. Don't look at his plain appearance, but before the establishment of the Adventurers Guild, he was one of the most powerful bounty hunters in the New World. He once captured a pirate with a bounty of nearly 500 million by himself, thus becoming famous and having a high status among bounty hunters.

After the Adventurers Guild was established and he registered as an adventurer, given his past combat record, he was directly assessed as an A-level adventurer.

"Boss, the Straw Hat Pirates shouldn't be that easy to deal with! After all, Straw Hat Boy is the Pirate King!"

Kado revealed an honest smile: "Yeah! The Pirate King is indeed not that easy to deal with, but his crew might not be."

"They are in the light, we are in the dark. Dealing with pirates, you don't need to talk about morality with them. Even if they are vigilant, there will be a day of negligence."

"This way, even if we can't kill the Pirate King, at least we can kill his crew. His crew is worth 10.6 billion Berries!"

"Boss, you forgot about their pet, worth 50,000 Berries."

Kado immediately lost his cool and glared at his subordinate irritably: "You're the only one who knows? Why don't you hurry up and find someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"Yes, boss!"

Such situations are not rare.

Because this group of bounty hunters knows very well that the Straw Hat Pirates are not pirates in the traditional sense. Anyone who has studied the data of the Straw Hat Pirates since their debut can see this.

This also means they are good people. To put it bluntly, they are a bit stupid.

Sacrificing a ship of good people in exchange for their own glory and wealth—well, it's very cost-effective.

For a time, the entire sea set off a wave of searching for the Straw Hat Pirates, whether they were pirates, adventurers, or ordinary people who wanted to change their destiny.

17.8 billion Berries is enough to break the bottom line of human nature.

Two days later.

"Yue!!!"

Seeing Luffy vomit, Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and said complainingly: "Luffy, how dare you eat things given by strangers! If it weren't discovered quickly, you would have suffered a lot!"

Luffy said weakly: "I thought that old lady was quite nice! Why would the rice ball she gave me have poison in it!"

Zoro frowned and looked at the nearby port. It looked peaceful, but if you pay a little attention, you can find that everyone's eyes look at them from time to time, as if they were some rare treasure.

Nonsense, the Straw Hat Pirates are walking 17.8 billion Berries. Who wouldn't be confused by that?

"It's not safe here anymore. If it weren't for our strength, I'm afraid they would have launched an attack on us long ago."

Chopper shouted ignorantly: "Why? We didn't do anything!"

Looking at Chopper's innocent and stupid eyes, Zoro shook his head: "Chopper, everyone here has a sky-high bounty on their back. Do you think those people would take the risk?"

"This..." Chopper looked at Luffy and sighed in his heart. This is not the pressure that someone with a bounty of 50,000 Berries should bear!

Usopp said with lingering fear: "Yeah! When we first arrived in the New World, bounty hunters took special care of us!"

Now, they seem to have become the sweet pastry in the eyes of bounty hunters again. No, they should be called adventurers now.

"Let's go quickly! Staying here, I feel uncomfortable all over."

However, just as the anchor was pulled up, a loud noise came from under the water, and water splashed everywhere.

"What's wrong?"

Franky's face changed: "Not good, someone installed a bomb on the bottom of our ship, and now the bottom of the ship has been blown up."

Zoro said with a dark face: "These guys are really too much!"

Franky dived into the sea and came out after a while.

"Can't leave for a while. Can only say it's fortunate that the keel wasn't damaged, otherwise..."

Hearing Franky say this, everyone except Brook and Jinbe was extremely angry.

"Too much, who did it? If you've got the guts, stand out! I want to fight you one-on-one!" Usopp shouted loudly at the people on the pier in anger.

The "civilians" on the pier looked up at Usopp, some shrugged, some shook their heads.

"Don't know?" "I don't know?" "Young man, what are you shouting about?"

Looking at such clumsy acting, Usopp became blood-angry: "Damn it!"

"Usopp, don't be impulsive!"

Sanji blew out a smoke ring and looked at Franky: "How much longer until the ship is repaired?"

"With Jinbe's help, the ship can be moving again in ten minutes."

"Good, then I'll leave it to you guys. Repair the ship as soon as possible! We can't stay in this ghost place anymore."

Meanwhile, on the sea, one ship after another with different shapes rushed toward the Thousand Sunny.

"Hahahaha, the Straw Hat Pirates are really here. Brothers, 17.8 billion Berries are right before our eyes, everyone cheer up! Fire!"

"Bang bang bang~"

Countless cannonballs flew toward the Thousand Sunny.

Zoro took a fighting stance and jumped up from the deck. Sanji flicked his cigarette butt away and directly activated his combat form.

This group of adventurers had no power to fight back in front of them.

Yeah! After all, they are the men known as the right and left hands of the Pirate King.

Half an hour later, this group of mad dog-Move Move Like adventurers finally knew fear and fled one after another.

Zoro, panting slightly, put away Enma and looked at this group of adventurers with disdain. To be precise, they should be bounty hunters, just wearing the skin of adventurers.

"A bunch of trash, you want to trade us for a bounty with this? Overestimating yourselves."

Sanji put away his raid suit, lit a cigarette, and said indifferently: "After this lesson, I hope they can calm down a bit! There's no such thing as guarding against thieves every day when you're a thief yourself, right?"

"Idiot cook, if bounty hunters were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't be called bounty hunters. They can't beat us, but they will use all kinds of despicable means to make us lose our combat effectiveness."

"Cut, I'm not afraid!"

"You? Hmph, perverted kappa, dealing with you is not easy at all."

"What did you say? If you've got the guts, say it again?"

"Hey, you two stop it, the ship is fine, we can leave at any time!"

Zoro snorted coldly: "I'll deal with you later, stinking cook."

"Just wait, moss-head, see if I don't kick you."

The Thousand Sunny sailed away from the port and headed west.

Meanwhile, in the sky.

"Report to Vice Admiral Peng En, the Straw Hat Pirates have set off and are heading in the ten o'clock direction."

"Received..."
