Not wanting to be chased by Marines on this island, Ross created a situation where he had escaped by ship and then quietly returned to the island.
This method may not be able to hide from Marines for a long time, but it doesn't matter to Ross, he just wants to figure out what is going on.
"Let's go to Ghale City."
Ross took a look at the town where he had lived for a year, shook his head, turned and left along the path to the bustling town in the center of the island.
There was an Underground Intelligence Organization in that town, and a large part of the information he obtained from the many pirates he hunted was obtained from there.
Along the path, over the mountains.
Two hours later.
Ross was wearing a leather hat with a lowered brim as he walked on the streets of Ghale City.
He did not deliberately hide his whereabouts and the people in Ghale City did not react much. It seems that what happened in Taro town has not spread here.
But what Ross wants to know is not just what happened in Taro town, he also wants to know who made him a scapegoat and get rid of the situation of being chased by Marines.
And just as Ross walked towards the location of the Underground Intelligence Organization, a large number of newspapers suddenly fell from the sky on the street not far away. Many people picked up a newspaper and read it.
"Unbelievable!"
"Ghost Hand Ross … actually looted and slaughtered a small town? Didn't he sanction several pirates with a bounty of tens of millions of berries?! "
Many people looked at the newspaper and were shocked.
Ross's footsteps paused. He pulled the brim of his hat down a little more and walked through the crowd, quietly picking up a newspaper.
Taro town massacre!
Only 70 people lived in the town, which has always been a warm town, but it was looted and massacred overnight. The whole town was burned into ruins. After Marine's careful investigation, the culprit was Pirate Hunter, Ghost Hand Ross!
Ross's face became darker and darker.
At this time, the voices of many passers-by also came into Ross's ears.
"I didn't expect that Ghost Hand Ross would be such a terrible pirate!"
"I said it a long time ago, Pirate Hunter and pirates are similar. They are all guys who degenerate for money. It's not unusual for them to do this kind of thing."
"I hope Marines can arrest this kind of guy early."
The fingers holding the newspaper gradually exerted force and the newspaper became crumpled. Ross was silent for a moment, turned into the alley next to him and threw the newspaper into the trash can.
After crossing a few streets.
Ross came to a tavern, which was empty, with only one owner sitting behind the counter yawning.
Ross walked into the tavern and glanced at the boss behind the counter. Without talking to the other party, he walked directly into the tavern, pushed open the door of a room and walked down a staircase leading to the underground.
The staircase was extremely narrow, but when they reached the end, they suddenly saw a spacious room. There were many exquisite tables and chairs in the room, just like a high-class tavern.
"… This is big news!"
"Ghost Hand Ross, this guy, Gee, in this way, we will have one less business competitor in the future."
"It's not just one less colleague, the Marines will definitely issue a bounty, I don't know how high the bounty will be, I think it won't be less than 20 million Berries!"
Several Pirate Hunters were sitting on the sofa, holding a few newspapers in their hands and discussing.
Just then, Ross came down from above.
As soon as they saw Ross, the voices of the people stopped abruptly and all eyes converged on Ross. For a time, their expressions were different, some sneered, some raised their mouths, and some showed a bit of nervousness.
Ross's face did not show any expression of anger, there was a kind of palpitating calmness, he glanced indifferently at the hall.
There was silence in the field.
No one made any jokes. Although the situation Ross is facing is very bad and he may even be hunted by Marines, his strength is recognized as strong among Pirate Hunters!
Most of the other Pirate Hunters work in teams and most of their targets are pirates with a bounty of less than 10 million Berries. Even if they hunt a big pirate with a bounty of more than 10 million Berries, it is only occasionally.
Like Ross, who acted alone and in just a few months, hunted several big pirates with a bounty of 10 million Berries, his strength is undoubtedly strong, and in the Pirate Hunter and the underground world, strength means status.
"…"
When Ross saw that no one was talking, he retracted his gaze and went straight to the interior of the hall, pushed open a door and walked in.
It was not until the door was completely closed that someone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh, I didn't expect him to come here, at this time …"
"It seems that Marine's encirclement and suppression has completely failed, and it is as useless as ever." Someone took a sip of wine.
"I don't know how far this thing will go. By the way, what do you think he is doing here? He can't be a Pirate Hunter now. "
A person next to him shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe he wants to find out about Marine's intelligence and escape from here. "
… …
Underground building inner hall.
Compared with the outside, it is much quieter here and the soundproofing effect is excellent. After the door is closed, the discussion outside can't be heard at all.
The inner hall is not large, with only a sofa, a bookshelf, and a desk.
Behind the desk sits a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a cigar. He is the leader of this underground intelligence organization, Terun.
Next to the desk.
A girl of about 16 or 17 years old with black shawl hair is sorting out a pile of documents with a serious expression and seems to be silently memorizing them.
Although the girl's appearance is very young, Ross recognized her directly when he saw her for the first time a few months ago.
It is Devil Child Nico Robin in the original work.
Today, she is still struggling for survival, hiding in the Underground world. She is currently a key figure in this underground intelligence organization. With her strong memory, she remembers all kinds of information so that she can hand it over at any time.
"Oh, isn't this Ghost Hand Ross? I didn't expect you to come here at this time. "Terun, sitting behind the desk, looked up at Ross.
"The time is not very good."
Ross calmly looked at Terun and said, "You must already know about me, then you should know what information I want."
Terun's mouth slightly raised and he took the cigar out of his mouth and said, "Tarot town? I happen to have inside intelligence here, but with your current identity, selling the intelligence to you will take a lot of risks, so the price needs to be twice. "
Ross stared at Terun for a while.
