The sea where Ross is located, the island distribution is relatively dense, it is one of the five major sea areas of West Blue, Orkeka sea area. Although it is only one sea area of West Blue, the pirate forces are still much stronger than East Blue.
Among them, the pirate with the highest bounty has reached 35 million Berries and the bounty of 10 million or 20 million Berries can't be counted with both hands.
But.
So far, four pirates with a bounty of more than 10 million berries have died in Ross's hands, including Rhodes.
Now it is the tenth year of the Great Age of Pirates. Although the separatist situation of Yonkō (Four Emperors) forces has been formed, Seven Warlords of the Sea is still scattered and has not yet formed an order.
For Ross, it is still a little far away to beat Yonkō (Four Emperors) Shichibukai and kick Marine's Gorōsei.
… …
Half a day later.
Ross came to the nearest island with a Marine division. The island is not big. There is only one small town on the island, which is where he often comes.
"That's … Ghost Hand Ross!"
The residents of the small town saw Ross walking into the town from the shore and they all showed frightened expressions. Some people dragged their children back home and some people closed the door tightly.
Although the Pirate Hunter profession also hunts pirates, it is not as glorious as Marines. After all, the vast majority of Pirate Hunters aim for money.
Ross doesn't care about this. He doesn't like pirates and he doesn't like Marines. Pirates have no fixed residence and are chased by Marines all over the sea. Marines have to obey orders and order and are restricted everywhere. There are also many Fallen Marines who act more disgusting than pirates.
In contrast, the Pirate Hunter profession is much easier.
"It's Ghost Hand Ross!"
"Is he here again? It seems that it has been less than half a month! "
Ross's arrival caused chaos in the Marine division. Countless Marines were alarmed. Many recruits and sergeants saw the head in Ross's hand and their faces showed a bit of fear. There were sweat stains on their foreheads and they swallowed their saliva from time to time.
Not long after, Colonel Moby, the highest officer of the Marine division, came to the hall wearing a Marine cloak with the word Justice.
"Who is it this time?"
Colonel Moby's face was calm and his expression was not very good.
Their Marine base may not be able to catch a pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million berries in two or three months. Ross, a Pirate Hunter, has sent three heads with a bounty of 10 million berries in a row in just two months.
Although it is a good thing that the cruel pirates are being sanctioned, this kind of thing often symbolizes the incompetence of their Marine. They actually need to rely on Pirate Hunters to punish pirates.
"Machete Rhodes, with a bounty of 16 million Berries."
Ross took out a wanted poster from his arms and gently pressed it on the table, motioning Colonel Moby to come over and compare it.
Hearing that, Colonel Moby was slightly surprised.
"You killed Rhodes?"
He had led Marines to go out to hunt Rhodes once, but the other party ran away. Unexpectedly, Rhodes was killed by Ross in less than a month.
Lucifer's head on the table, with just a glance, he was certain that it belonged to Lucifer the Great Machete.
"Wait a minute, I have to report to my superior."
Colonel Moby stared at Rhodes's head for a few seconds, then took a deep look at Ross and turned into his office.
Not long after, Colonel Moby came to the hall again and said: "It has been confirmed, the bounty will be sent soon …"
At this point, Moby paused and said in a somewhat unhappy tone. "The Marine has recently been recruiting new recruits. Headquarters asked me to ask if you are willing to join the Marine. If you are willing, we can make an exception and grant you the rank of Lieutenant Commander."
"Join Marine?"
Ross touched his chin and said, "Forget it. I'm not a motivated person. It's enough to take some bounty money to get by."
Moby snorted. He didn't want to see Ross join Marine. It was the Headquarters who asked him to come and ask. Now that Ross refused, it is better.
A few hours later.
Rhodes's 16 million berries bounty was sent and filled a backpack. Ross opened it and glanced at it. He was too lazy to count it and directly took it away.
"Captain, are we going to do nothing?"
Lieutenant Commander Leica stood next to Moby and looked at Ross's back as he left. He gritted his teeth and his eyes showed a very cold look.
"Do what? What do you want to do? "
Moby glanced at Leica and snorted heavily and said: "If you want to regain your lost prestige, get out of here and work for me! Catch all the pirates that are running amok! "
Leica was scolded by Moby and the muscles on his face moved. Finally, he bowed his head and responded. No one noticed that his bowed face was extremely stiff and cold.
… …
After leaving the Marine Headquarters, it was already midnight.
Ross was not afraid of people robbing him in the middle of the night. He came to the coast with a backpack of money, sat in his own boat, drove the boat and returned to the place where he had been living.
This is a medium-sized island.
There are seven or eight small towns on the island and there is a very prosperous city in the center. The place where Ross lives is one of the small towns.
When he came back, it was already the next morning.
"Hey, Ross is back."
"Did your trip go well? Did you get hurt? "
"Did you eat? Our family cooked noodles, come and try it? "
The residents of the town were very enthusiastic about Ross because a few months ago, pirates visited the town. It was Ross who stood up and defeated many pirates and saved the people of the town.
Ross smiled and said hello to the people of the town. He returned to the small house where he lived, threw the backpack of money on the bed and lay down to sleep.
He slept until the afternoon.
After waking up, Ross counted the money he currently had.
"I already have more than 40 million Berries. It's enough to buy a bigger ship, but the crew is a problem …"
Ross's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Nico Robin is on this island, hiding in the underground dark intelligence agency in the central city. Ross wants to recruit her as a crew member, but once she gets on the ship, she will be wanted by Marines and can only become a pirate.
"In the end, my strength is still not enough. With enough strength, whether it is a pirate or a Marine, no one will dare to provoke me."
Ross shook his head and left the house. He planned to go out to eat something and come back to practice hard.
