Chapter 303

Iceburg's problems did not stop there. More importantly, even at the end of the plot, Lucci and the others did not kill Iceburg; otherwise, Iceburg would definitely not have survived. This was because the World Government did not want Iceburg to die. Even if the blueprints for Pluton had been burned, the World Government did not want Iceburg to die and still let him control Water 7.

Iceburg was now: doing illegal business (helping pirates build and repair ships), holding a legal position (mayor), and making a lot of money (Galley-La Company).

For such a person, if one said the other party was a warm-hearted righteous person, Su Xiao would never believe it. Moreover, the Galley-La Company's external recruitment accepted everyone.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao already had some preliminary plans in his heart. Iceburg was very important in this.

Iceburg pulled off his eye mask and looked at the door.

"It's Angus, what's the matter."

Angus immediately bowed and placed his right hand on his chest.

"Mr. Iceburg, this is the new employee, Bai Ye."

"Oh." Iceburg continued to lie down, seeming to want to take another nap.

"Bai Ye can probably fight against pirates with a bounty of 50 million to 100 million Berries."

Iceburg, who was about to lie down, sat up straight, picked at the eye gunk with his finger, and looked Su Xiao up and down.

"Bai Ye..." Iceburg made a pondering gesture, and after a while, looked at Angus.

Angus hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in Iceburg's ear. At the end, Iceburg nodded.

Su Xiao stood at the door, somewhat bored, and began to consider the subsequent development of events in his mind.

Water 7 might only be a transition; the final goal of the main mission should be related to Enies Lobby.

Joining a force now was just to obtain a "ticket." Only with a ticket could one participate in the Enies Lobby incident.

Thinking of Enies Lobby, Su Xiao could not help but feel hot in his heart. Although it was dangerous there, there were definitely many good things. Rokushiki, Devil Fruits, etc., all made people jealous.

Su Xiao was very interested in Soru among the Rokushiki. That ability to quickly approach enemies was exactly what he lacked.

After thinking for a long time, Iceburg's voice interrupted Su Xiao's train of thought.

"Hello Bai Ye, I am the president of the Galley-La Company, Iceburg."

Iceburg stood up and walked over to shake hands with Su Xiao. It seemed that after Angus's introduction, Iceburg also began to value Su Xiao. Such "wild" strong people were rare.

"Hello."

Shaking hands, Su Xiao immediately judged that Iceburg had no combat power and was just a shipwright. Of course, this "no combat power" was relative.

"I already understand your situation, but Galley-La is a shipbuilding company. If you don't know how to build ships, it will be difficult..."

Iceburg hesitated, seeming to be considering whether to employ Su Xiao. Su Xiao was not worried at all; the other party was very likely to employ him.

"How about this, for these two days, you will be responsible for the security of Dock 1. We often receive pirates. Although shipwrights can also maintain public order, it affects work efficiency very much. I have already considered whether to hire security personnel."

"Can do."

Su Xiao agreed very readily. He just needed to join a force. Of course, it would be best to have some say in that force.

"That's best. The Galley-La Company welcomes you to join. Angus, help Bai Ye with the entry procedures. You two come together for the celebration tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Iceburg."

Angus took Su Xiao out of the office, his attitude obviously enthusiastic, even bragging to Su Xiao about how tender the beauties in Water 7 were, that he had six mistresses, etc.

Su Xiao completed the entry procedures at the municipal building. The steps were very simple; just sign a document.

After noticing the content of the document, Su Xiao's pupils shrank. The Galley-La Company was actually a subsidiary of the World Government and was autonomous. Considering that this was the World Government's designated shipyard, it was not an exaggeration to have such a status.

【Hunter has joined the 'Galley-La Company', Main Mission: Choice of Faction (Completed).】

【Complete Main Mission: Choice of Faction?】

Su Xiao chose to complete it, and a new mission appeared.

【Main Mission: Gain Appreciation】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 9

Mission Introduction: Gain a certain level of popularity in the Galley-La Company.

Mission Information: Current Popularity: Neutral 70/400 (This popularity can keep you moving freely in Water 7.)

Mission Deadline: 15 days.

Mission Reward: Reward based on popularity.

Mission Penalty: None

The derived world had entered the buffer stage from the initial stage. This was the time given to Su Xiao for free movement. During this period, he could explore missions or eliminate powerful enemies in Water 7.

Su Xiao was secretly happy. The economy of Water 7 was prosperous, the population was large, and it had great exploration potential.

He had several goals in the Pirate World: famous swords, Rokushiki, and Devil Fruits.

The possibility of obtaining a Devil Fruit was very small, but once obtained, it would be a huge sum of money.

Making up his mind, Su Xiao took Xiang Bubu Wang and walked out of the municipal building. Just as he reached the door, a man chewing a cigar walked toward him.

The man was about thirty years old, chewing a cigar, with a full beard, wearing a cowboy hat, and a revolver holster tied to his waist. His attire was very similar to a Western cowboy.

Su Xiao's footsteps paused, and the cowboy's footsteps also stopped.

The other party was a Qiyuezhe; Su Xiao could be sure of this. This was a Qiyuezhe from the same faction, and his strength was extremely strong!

The scene froze. The cowboy stood at the door, and Su Xiao stood in the municipal hall, with a distance of several meters between the two sides.

After a stalemate of about a minute, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. He pressed his hand on the hilt of the saber at his waist and walked forward slowly.

The other party should be a long-range fighter and would not let him get close easily.

Sure enough, the cowboy pressed his hand on his revolver and retreated slowly.

This scene attracted the attention of the staff in the municipal hall, and these people all watched Su Xiao and the other person.

The cowboy exited the municipal building, and Su Xiao walked out of the main gate. Neither side spoke, and Su Xiao gradually walked away.

The cowboy spat out the cigar in his mouth, his eyes fixed on Su Xiao's back.

Su Xiao walked quickly through Water 7, his eyes scanning the surroundings, as if looking for something.

After walking a long way, he found an empty space with few people. This was an abandoned shipyard, now used to place old ships, and had become a ship graveyard.

The sound of rushing water came from the waterway nearby. Su Xiao gave Xiang Bubu Wang a look, and Xiang Bubu Wang immediately hid in an old ship.

"Followed for so long, come out."

Su Xiao slowly drew Zhan Long Shan and looked at a residential house.

A figure walked out from behind the house; it was the cowboy from before.

"Why, preparing to kill me and explode a Scarlet Card?"

The other party had been following him, so Su Xiao simply chose a location with few people as a battlefield. Avoiding battle was not his style.

The cowboy did not draw his gun but gradually approached Su Xiao.

"Did you kill Karl?"

The cowboy spoke, and Su Xiao frowned. Karl? Phantom Troupe!

Looking at the cowboy's attire, Su Xiao saw the revolver at the other party's waist. He suddenly remembered a sentence Karl said when he fought him: "Except for No. 7's revolver, I haven't seen anyone else in the Troupe."

This cowboy in front of him was very likely the "Revolver" Karl mentioned, the seventh member of the Phantom Troupe.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's heart sank. No. 11 Karl was already so strong; No. 7 now was definitely stronger.

"Dare to do it but not dare to admit it? There is a sense between the numbers of the Troupe. You have killed members of the Troupe; this perception will not disappear within a few worlds."

The cowboy looked at Su Xiao, and there seemed to be no hatred in his eyes.

"If it's the one who plays with tarot cards, then that's right."

Qing Gang Ying activated; today might be a life-and-death struggle.
