Chapter 17: Setting Sail
"Oh, I see! Got it! Senior, can you please help me find some bounties around 500 million pirates?" Rorl thought for a moment and said.
"500 million! Are you crazy?" Aen looked at Rorl in astonishment.
"It's okay, Senior Sister, I know my limits!" Roland consoled.
"Impossible! Teacher Zefa usually doesn't take us to capture pirates with bounties exceeding five hundred million! It's too dangerous! And there is more than one person on a pirate ship with such a high bounty!" Einar immediately argued.
"Don't worry, senior sister! I am sure I can escape if it's impossible to fight back. Even if I can't win, I can still run!" Roland reassured.
Ain assessed Roland and pondered for a while before saying, "Hmm! I can't persuade you anymore! When I find something, remember to escape immediately if you can't defeat them!" With that, Ain started searching and soon took out a few wanted posters.
"These are the ones who are active in the New World and have bounties exceeding 500 million but haven't joined the Four Emperors' Pirate Crew!" However, I recommend this one," Aizen said as he pulled out a card from the middle and said, "This is Bloodhand Cook, with a bounty of 530 million berries! He challenged the Four Emperors' Mama half a year ago and suffered heavy casualties among his crew. Now, he's recruiting subordinates on Bafen Island, which he just entered in the New World. However, it seems that he hasn't made much progress and is still alone!"
"Hmm! He's the one!" Loral nodded and took a look at the bounty notice.
"Remember to retreat immediately if you can't defeat him!" Aen reminded.
"No problem! Don't worry, Senior Sister! Senior Sister, give me a record pointer for Bufan Island!"
"If you want a record pointer, you should go to the Intelligence Department, where they have record pointers for every island. I'll give you a certificate!" Aen said as she handed Ror the certificate to obtain a record pointer.
"I'm leaving, Senior Sister!" Ruer waved his proof and left Aien's office. After receiving a record pointer for the Bafen Island from the intelligence department, Ruer arrived at the port.
"Uncle! Are there any boats to Baffin Island nearby?" the dockworker, Rol, asked a soldier at the port.
"Uncle? I'm only twenty-one!" the bearded marine quickly replied.
"Sorry, sorry!" Roland immediately apologized.
"Never mind! Many people react the same way because of my appearance!" The Marine waved his hand and said, "There aren't any near Bafen Island! You can go to the Shampoo Islands first, there should be some there!"
"Okay! Thank you, big brother!" Rourke said and immediately jumped onto a nearby military ship headed for the Shangbo Islands. He found a Major General on board the ship and exchanged some words, and was allowed to hitch a ride on an airship.
There are still a lot of warships going from the Naval Headquarters to the Shampoo Island every day.
The Shampoo Island is not far from the Naval Headquarters, and the warships arrived there quickly. After a short rest on the Shampoo Island, Ror found a merchant ship heading to the Buffen Island and, showing some strength, boarded it as an escort.
After two days, Luffy followed the merchant ship and crossed the Red Soil Continent under the World Government. After seven more days of sailing, the merchant ship successfully arrived at Baffin Island.
"This is your reward!" Roelle, at the port of Baffin Island, told the captain of the merchant ship to disembark, and the captain gave Roelle a reward of 200,000 berries.
"Thank you very much!" Roelle didn't make a fuss and accepted the reward as he stepped onto Baffin Island.
"Have you heard? The Beasts Pirates are in conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates again!" Rolle heard people discussing as soon as he entered a tavern.
"Hey! So what? The Four Emperors always have a small conflict every half a month and a big conflict every month! It's normal! But did you hear that Big Mom's annual tea party is about to be held again?"
"Boss! Give me a good drink!" Roland walked up to the bar and ordered a glass of wine, quietly listening to the discussions around him and observing his surroundings.
"By the way, Captain Bloodhand Cook is recruiting crew members. Anyone of you going? I heard the benefits are great!" "No way! Are you seeking death by provoking the Big Mom Pirates?" "You can't say that! If someone can come out alive, it means Bloodhand Cook is quite powerful!" "Come on! I heard that Big Mom didn't even make a move, it was just Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders, who defeated the entire Bloodhand Pirates. Only Captain Cook managed to escape!" "Is it true or not!?" "Let me tell you..."
Roer suddenly became aware of a discussion at a table.
"The Big Mom Pirates never looked down on him, otherwise, Blood-Handed Cook would have been killed long ago!" "Is that so?" A tall, thin man wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a long sword approached the group of people discussing Blood-Handed Cook.
"Who are you, questioning my information?" several people looked at the man.
"I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Wildmouth Ken, and I am currently the vice captain of the Bloodhand Pirate Crew!" Ken said indifferently.
"What!" They were surprised.
"So what! You guys actually slandered our captain. Come with me and let the captain judge the situation, okay?" Kiyoshi Noguchi said politely.
"You!" One person immediately pointed at Yukou Xian and was about to swear at him.
"Swish!" A flash of a knife passed by.
"Snap!" "Ah--" a finger fell to the ground.
"I don't like it when people point at me," said Yuko Noguchi indifferently.
"Whoosh!" Seeing him start to move, everyone in the tavern ran out instantly, leaving only Ror at the bar. Ror looked at Yuko Noguchi: Name: Yuko Noguchi; Power Level: 6711.
"Hello! So, you're Kouya Ken, right? You claim to be the vice captain of the Blood Hand Pirates? What's your bounty?" Ror asked Kouya Ken.
"Interesting! You're not even trying to escape? Do you want to join our pirate crew as well?" Kouya Ken asked.
"It was clearly me who asked you first! You should answer my question first!" Roland immediately said.
"You're right! I apologize!" Ken Naguchi immediately apologized, saying, "I am now the vice captain of the Blood Hand Pirate Crew, and there is no bounty on my head! And also, I didn't say you could leave!" Ken Naguchi turned around and swung his sword.
A few people were originally planning to secretly leave while Takahisa Noguchi and Ror were talking, but a sword aura immediately stopped them.
"Zero reward? It's a bit tricky!" Ror looked helpless.
"Do you want my position as the vice captain? As long as you can defeat me, it's yours!" Genkou Noguchi said.
"No!" Rol shook his head and said, "If you have a zero bounty, I'm not sure if I should kill you! But since you're a pirate, it shouldn't be a problem to take you down, right?" Rol questioned.
“干掉我?你小子是什么人?”野口贤立刻问到。
“嗯—怎么说呢?”罗尔依旧是一副为难的样子说道:“你是海贼,而我呢就是专门对付海贼的!你懂吗?”
"You are a bounty hunter!" Kengo Noguchi immediately said, "But that's fine! Many bounty hunters have become pirates later!"
"No! I am a marine!"
