Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

"Hacksaw" Rocks, an old pirate, was once a sailmaster on an ordinary merchant ship, and his sail control skills were top-notch. Originally, he was supposed to continue working as a normal merchant mariner until he retired and then died of old age. But five years ago, he accidentally obtained a Devil Fruit and became a Devil Fruit user.

This superhuman hacksaw fruit not only gave Rocks extraordinary abilities, but also aroused the hidden demons in his heart - he united with several sailors on merchant ships to plan a mutiny.

The mutiny was quite successful, and after cutting off the arms of the original captain and some of the resisting crew members and throwing them into the sea, Rocks took over the merchant ship and naturally established the Rocks Pirates.

He used the merchant ship and the goods on board as his starting capital, and plundered everywhere in the past few years, rapidly growing his power. The crew of the Rocks Pirates has also grown from less than twenty people at the beginning to nearly sixty people now. Locks's own bounty has also been rising, and it is now as high as 80 million Baileys.

You know, the bounties for pirates in this era are not as huge as when Wang Luffy and others go to sea in the future. Although it is not possible to say that one Pele today is worth one Pele in the future, Rocks' current bounty of 80 million will definitely make him a Grand Line level player in the future.

However, it is unknown to the outside world how much of the 80 million beli bounty was specially added because the top brass of the Navy discovered that he had a name collision with the former pirate overlord.

In short, as the leader of a pirate group with power, strength and wealth, Rocks' life is not unfashionable.

But nothing is perfect, and Rocks also has his own pain in life - two years ago, the Rocks Pirates, who had just completed a robbery, were ambushed by a patrol ship led by Captain Malvin of the North Sea Navy Branch on their way back. . Although they suffered heavy losses, the entire pirate group managed to escape, but Rocks' only son who served as the gunner on the ship died in that naval battle.

After working hard for most of his life, but losing his only heir at the peak of his life, Rocks' pain and anger can be imagined. Like him, other cadres of the Rocks Pirates also lost their subordinates more or less in that naval battle. Therefore, the entire Rocks Pirates had a bloody feud with the North Sea Naval Branch, especially Colonel Malvern.

Therefore, this time Yeager sent someone to bring a message to Locks, and Locks immediately agreed without any hesitation. This was almost the only opportunity to avenge his son, even if it was a scam, he would give it a try.

Of course, as a pirate captain who is responsible for the lives of dozens of his brothers, Rocks has not been dazzled by anger and revenge. He chooses to foolishly believe the message from Yeager - there are currently people in the bar where he is. There are almost twenty people, and nearly two-thirds of the remaining subordinates are on standby on the pirate ship. Once Jaeger wants to make some small moves, whether they are fighting or escaping, they will all have time.

Just as Rocks drank the last drop of the bottle of rum, with a "squeak" sound, the dilapidated wooden door of the bar was pushed open.

The person who pushed open the wooden door of the bar and walked in was none other than the scar-faced Jaeger who had made an appointment with Rocks.

With Jaeger's intrusion, the originally noisy bar suddenly became quiet. The pirates stopped what they were doing and looked at him quietly. Jaeger looked at them without any intention, and finally his eyes fell on the old pirate Rocks in the center of the bar.

The latter was putting his feet up on the table, assuming an extremely arrogant posture, and looked at the intruding Jaeger with disdain.

"Are you Jaeger? That brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth?"

"Are you Rocks? The old pirate who stepped into the coffin?" Jaeger pushed back without showing any signs of weakness.

The pirates in the bar laughed loudly, like a firecracker suddenly bursting out in the silent night sky.

"Hahaha, this guy, who does this guy think he is!"

"Boss Rocks, this guy is provoking you! Show him some color!"

"Hey, kid, don't cry when you crawl out later! Hahaha!"

Faced with the laughter of his pirates, Rocks, the boss, not only did not stop them, but shrugged cooperatively - which made the pirates laugh even harder.

Faced with this situation, Yeager frowned, ignored those miscellaneous fish, and walked straight to Rocks' single small round table. Then--

"boom!"

The small round table in front of Locks was knocked over by Yeager's punch, and the rum bottles on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Jaeger looked down at Rocks sitting on the chair and said coldly:

"Is this how you plan to avenge your son?"

"..."

Hearing Yeager's words, Rocks raised his head and stood up from his chair. He is not tall physically, but his momentum is more than a step ahead of the strong Jaeger.

"I advise you to take back what you said, kneel down obediently, and apologize to me. Maybe I can make your death less painful."

The rest of the pirates on the side did not dare to speak. From the moment Rocks stood up, they knew that their boss was really angry.

And the consequences of his boss being angry...

They were still deeply impressed by the plight of the unlucky sailor who had his limbs chopped off and thrown into the sea to be fed alive to sharks a few days ago.

But Yeager obviously didn't buy it, and Rocks' threats had no effect on him at all——

"Let me say it again, if you are going to do this for your son..."

Before Yeager could finish his words, Rocks suddenly became violent. Rows of sharp steel spikes sprouted from his right elbow, extending all the way to his fingertips. They looked like saws, heading straight for Yeager's throat!

But the hacksaw made by Rocks using his fruit power did not give him the feeling of tearing apart the enemy's flesh as easily as before.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his men's eyes also widened - Jaeger just stood there, as if nothing had happened, letting his throat come into close contact with Rox's saw teeth.

Locks tried his best again without believing in evil, but the hacksaw that used to be indestructible when facing the enemy's body was now as if it had hit steel, making it difficult to move forward at all.

"useless……"

Jaeger sneered, and with a sudden force, Locks' hacksaw was knocked back.

Rocks slowly retracted his saw teeth, and his eyes were fixed on Yeager's neck - it was no longer normal human skin, but some kind of gray, pleated animal skin.

"The dim-eyed old dog finally noticed..."

Yeager sneered, with a proud and arrogant look on his face, "Yes, I am also a Devil Fruit user, and it is an animal-type rhino fruit that is more powerful than your Hacksaw Fruit!"
