super pocket watch

Sea voyage is dangerous and boring.

This point is the same whether it is the Caribbean world or the world Tang Bai is currently in. The difference is that the danger of the sea and environment in this world is far greater than that of the former. Fortunately, there is a decent navigator at the helm.

, so that Tang Bai no longer needs to be distracted and can focus more on his many studies, allowing him to weaken or even avoid facing that kind of danger and boredom.

Gallia, one of the two cooks on the ship, was standing hesitantly in front of a door. If someone were to face him face to face, it would be easy to see the panic and paleness mixed with fear on his face.

Every time he came to the door of this room, Gallia could not help but feel an indescribable chill and fear.

ah!

A hoarse roar, filled with tremendous pain, suddenly came out from the door like a thunder, exploding in this dark corridor.

Gallia, who was in a trance, trembled all over, as if icy cold water had been poured on his pocket. He trembled and struggled to wake up from fear and trance. This was not the first time he heard this sound, but every time

Hearing this, he would always feel a chill in his heart.

As a pirate in a pirate group known for his evil deeds, even if Gallia is not a combatant, he has seen the pain of human beings suffering from pain and torture, but even if it is the first time in his memory, he has seen

The bloody scenes and the cries of pain from the injured were not as profound as the impression and feelings brought to him by the howling man inside the door.

Squeak.

The door was opened from the inside, and Tang Bai wiped his hands with a handkerchief and walked out. Under the blazing white light from inside the door, Gallia felt that he saw something on the handkerchief that Tang Bai used to wipe his hands.

A trace of crimson blood.

"Do you think lunch is ready?" Tang Bai's voice was gentle.

Her heart skipped a beat. After gathering her thoughts, Gallia lowered her hands and bowed her head. She only stared at Tang Bai's feet and said respectfully: "Yes, the lunch prepared for you is ready."

"Then, let's go." Tang Bai stepped out, and the door behind him automatically closed without any wind, slamming shut behind Tang Bai.

Seeing Tang Bai moving forward, Gallia quickly chased after him, following closely behind him.

After getting along with each other these days, Gallia and the others who were selected by Tang Bai to stay have greatly improved their impression of Tang Bai. Although there is still awe and fear for Tang Bai in their hearts, it is far less than at the beginning.

So pure and intense.

Compared with Barbarossa, who has all the characteristics of most pirates, such as cunning, insidious, violent, and unscrupulous, Tang Bai gives people the impression that they are two completely opposite extremes. In other words, Barbarossa can be regarded as a pirate.

Tang Bai is a thief, but Tang Bai is more like a simple adventurer.

No. Maybe even adventurers are just reluctant.

Since Tang Bai had been sailing all the way across the sea, he had never shown any interest in adventure. Even the destination was just a general statement of the great route, and it ended. The navigators were allowed to sail independently regardless of the destination.

There is no intention to rob the passing lone merchant ship, which is almost unimaginable to Gallia and the others. In the West Sea, which pirate would let go of such a lone merchant ship? The sea that does not intend to rob

Thieves, and ocean adventurers who also do not aim at adventure. Can they still be considered pirates and adventurers?

The only thing that made Gallia feel slightly at ease was that the new head of his family had accepted all of Barbarossa's wealth. His net worth seemed to be richer than imagined. At least for a long time in the future, there was no need to worry too much about the lack of treasure.

Profits and the like.

Of course, this does not mean that they can rest easy. Judging from the new bounty orders and newspapers dropped by the newspaper bird in recent times, the bounty for their new boss has soared to 69 million shells.

profit.

Gallia didn't know how many pirates there were in the Grand Line with this bounty price, but in the Western Sea, this price bounty was definitely terrifying.

Different from Tang Bai's memory of the era when large-scale violence was out of control more than ten years later, the power of the World Government has been suppressed and weakened by the four emperors, pirates, and the increasingly threatening revolutionary army who have stabilized their territory and expanded wildly.

Reached an extreme point.

In order to maintain the stability of the world and the orderly rule of the world government to the greatest extent, a new pirate was often given a high bounty at that time, and used this benefit to gain the support of neutral people, such as bounty hunters and other forces.

support.

Although the situation has collapsed and more and more pirates are going to sea, the navy, which still has a vague grasp of the situation, still has a certain amount of power for the time being and can still arrest and hunt down pirates on a large scale. Most of them

At that time, the new generation of naval elites who were in the mature stage were able to hunt down most of the pirates without, and were ashamed to rely on, too many external forces.

In an era when order is still there and is stable, the value of money is always higher than in an era when chaos is budding and people feel precarious. In other words, the bounty in this era is higher than it was in more than ten years.

The final gold content is higher.

Tang Bai was able to increase the bounty to 69 million Baileys in a short period of time, probably thanks to his attack on the naval branch station in the important trade town of the West Sea, and single-handedly caused the death of Scott, the commander of that station, which caused the navy to

Sensitive events that feel humiliating and provocative.

If he had single-handedly caused the demise of two pirates, including the Calis Pirates and the Barbarossa Lasso Pirates, and killed an elite captain of the navy branch on a different battlefield, his bounty would never have been paid in a short time.

It has skyrocketed so high in a short period of time.

The bounty, when the amount of the bounty reaches a certain level, is just a number with mostly symbolic meaning. It has no other purpose than to show how powerful and dangerous the owner of the bounty is.

use.

It is true that bounty is not the same as strength. But excluding Baki, who is very lucky in the future, most pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions are weak. And those with bounties of 300 to 500 million, 100% have strong abilities and strength.

.Because of the lack of strength, they have long been eliminated by the navy and pirate hunters. Bucky did not hitch a ride on the protagonist Straw Hat's car, and he could not escape from the deep sea prison.

For those pirate kings with bounties of more than 500 million, even the Navy, which has issued a bounty, does not expect that one day, someone will be able to capture these people whose bounty increases have almost stagnated and deliver them to the Navy. Just like

In this new world that is chaotic at the moment, and the big pirates are fighting for territory everywhere, who dares to harvest pirate kings such as Whitebeard for those bounties? Even if someone really does it,

What are the chances of success?

For example, Whitebeard, as a world government organized by an alliance of nearly 200 countries in the world, really can't spend billions to reward such a person? If it were possible, I believe the naval marshal at this time would be very happy to pay.

At a cost of billions or even tens of billions of beli, most of the pirate kings active in the new world were killed one by one. Even if this would put the navy into a state of economic constraints for a period of time.

It is precisely because the navy knows very well that simply raising bounties will have little effect on those top pirate kings who have become established, will not benefit much, and will not pose any big threat. Therefore, those top pirate kings and dangerous people

The bounty will be fixed at this moment. Unless one of them does something that shocks the world, the bounty that has stagnated will rise again.

In Roger's era, the navy was desperately chasing Gol D. Roger, the Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and many dangerous pirates on the sea. This was also the era when the navy was at its peak. After Gol D. Roger's death, the navy was inevitable.

From the peak to loneliness.

During the heyday of the Warring States Period and Garp, they could almost force figures like the Pirate King Gol D. Roger into despair several times. But at this moment, facing the surging pirate craze, all they can do is try their best.

Maintain, gradually give in, and finally have to establish a position like the Shichibukai, which means the navy is incompetent and humiliating, to maintain a balance with the Pirate Emperor.

As for chasing the pirate kings of the new world like Gol D Roger and the Golden Lion, that heyday has passed. The current navy can still compete with those pirate kings in the new world for a while.

But as the number of pirates continues to skyrocket, there are more and more pirate groups in the new world, and the navy has to make some kind of choice.

Gallia and others, who already had an in-depth understanding of what their new leader was doing, inevitably felt worried about the navy's movements.

Sixty-nine million Baileys is incomparable to the pirate kings who are struggling in the new world. This bounty cannot make the pirates in the Grand Line, or even the bounty hunters and navy

, produce any thoughts of retreat.

Gallia didn't believe that his new head would not have thought of this, but the strange thing was that Tang Bai didn't ask him to hurry up, nor did he give him any instructions to hide his whereabouts. Gallia even thought in his head

Thinking about it, maybe the new head of the family thinks that he doesn't need to say these things, and he has to understand it himself?

Well, forget it, after all, he is just a cook on the ship, or one of two cooks. These things are not what he should think about. If he really needs to face that kind of dangerous situation, he can just act on his own initiative.

The footsteps stopped, Tang Bai and Gallia had arrived at the restaurant on the ship.

As a pirate ship that has been converted from a warship, the restaurant space on the ship is naturally huge. There are only a dozen or so people on the ship sitting here together, which makes the place seem very empty.

A warship is chasing Tang Bai and the others. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
