Chapter 349

Merk Island.

This is one of the islands of the second part of the first half of the Grand Line, from here to the end point of the first half of the Grand Line — the Sabaodi Archipelago, there is only one island left.

The level of pirates who can simply enter the Grand Line and get to this point, of course, is very different.

Here you can quite often come across pirates with a reward of more than 30 million belli.

Sure.

Pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million belli are still extremely rare.

Pirates who are able to receive such a reward during the journey in the first half of the Grand Line are extremely rare, and they are usually called 'Supernovae', at the moment, with the exception of Shanks, there are only two 'Supernovae'.

The appearance of the 'Eleven Supernovae' during Luffy's journey is an extremely rare event, so they were later even called the 'Worst Generation'.

In the port.

Yeruashi's ship docked at the shore.

"Robin, come on.»

Yeruashi put down the book and looked at Robin, who was still reading enthusiastically: "Let's have a snack and relax on the island.»

Although his goal was to arrive at the Sabaodi Archipelago,there was still a small stop on each island.

On the one hand, it takes some time to adjust the Log Pos to the magnetic waves of the next island, and on the other hand, you need to buy fresh ingredients and meat.

All the while, Robin continued to develop as a cook, and her devil fruit ability went well with that.

With the help of his ability, Robin can simultaneously hold a knife and a pot, which allows one person to work for several cooks at once.

This ability allows you to recreate any part of the body, and not in an illusory, but in a full-fledged material form.

Thinking about how to use this ability can give rise to a lot of fantasies in any man...

"Good.»

Robin put down her book.

Recently, Robin began to pay less and less attention to what was happening around her, the constantly alert state began to gradually give way to a mature and calm behavior.

They left the ship and headed for the city.

Shortly after they disembarked, in front of the window, in the cabin of one of the ships nearby, the man lowered his telescope and squinted.

It was a Marine Patrol scout.

It's an island at the end of the first half of the Grand Line, not too far from Marinford, so almost every island in the region has Sea Watch scouts.

"This girl...»

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be 'Devil's Child' Nico Robin?!»

Even ordinary patrollers may not be able to identify Robin at a glance, but his job as a Marine Patrol scout is to quickly identify wanted criminals.

As long as the criminal's reward exceeds 10 million belli, he must remember it and immediately recognize it in case of an encounter, so that he can immediately report to Marinford.

He immediately took out Den Den Mushi.

"Mosi-mosi...»

"This Merk Island, traces of the 'Devil's Child'were found here Nico Robin!»

...

Marinford.

In the office on the top floor.

The Nico Robin reward reaches 79 million, exceeding the 50 million mark, criminals of this level are usually handled at the level of the Marine Patrol headquarters.

Due to the Aokiji incident, Fleet Admiral Kong ordered all the Vice Admirals at headquarters to report directly to him immediately if any information about Nico Robin appeared.

"She showed up...»

Fleet Admiral Kong thoughtfully whispered after listening to the report, " This silver-white-haired man, is he still staying with Nico Robin?»

The Vice Admiral of headquarters nodded gravely: "According to the report, he's still with her, and they're only traveling together. They have just arrived at Merk Island, setting up a Log Pos on this island takes about ten days.»

"Ten days...»

Kong was lost in thought.

Just at this moment.

The man who had been sitting silently on the sofa all this time stood up confidently.

On his shoulders was draped a snow-white cloak with the inscription 'justice' and gold Admiral's epaulettes!

It was the Admiral of the Sea Watch - 'Buddha' Sengoku!

Sengoku looked at Kong seriously, "Since Aokiji is not able to handle this guy, I will personally deal with him, we can't ignore such a threat.»

"Sengoku...»

Kong looked at Sengoku with some hesitation and hesitation.

Currently, the Marine Patrol has two Admiral positions out of three, in addition to one of them — 'Black Hand' Zephyr, only nominally holds the position of Admiral, in fact being the head of the headquarters recruit camp.

The third, the vacant position of Admiral, was supposed to be taken by Garp, but he repeatedly refused to be promoted, which is why this position remained vacant for a long time.

In fact.

Currently, of the three Admiral positions, two are vacant.

Once Sengoku left Marinford, there would be no way for him to send an Admiral if something happened to the Sky Dragons.

"Don't worry so much, the Marshmallow is always in the headquarters, it can be sent in case of an emergency...plus, we still have Garp.»

Sengoku looked calmly at the Fleet Admiral.

Kong pondered for a while and nodded, " Okay, then leave right now, but come back as soon as possible. If the criminal manages to escape, then immediately return, no need to waste time on the chase, the watch is already full of problems that you need to deal with.»

"I understand.»

Sengoku nodded and left the Fleet Admiral's office, his snow-white cloak billowing behind him.

After Sengoku left, Kong sighed wearily and took a sip of tea, frowning at the piece of paper lying in the middle of the table.

There were several names written on a piece of paper.

The' Destroyer of Worlds ' Brandy World!

The' beast ' of Kaido!

'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin!

'Red Count ' Patrick Redfield!

'Captain' John!

Wang Zhi!

'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate!

Currently, the New World has not formed a balance of Power, and there is a continuous struggle of many strong pirates, at the top of which are the Pirates of Belous.

As one of the three legends that dominated the past era along with the Golden Lion and the Golden Roger, Belous was recognized as the 'Strongest Man in the World' after the Golden Roger was executed and the Golden Lion was imprisoned in Impel Down.

The only relief was that Whitebeard wasn't interested in creating chaos and conquering.

Otherwise...

The Marine Patrol would have had a lot to worry about, and Sengoku wouldn't have had time to deal with the first half of the Grand Line.

...

At the time when the Sea Patrol forces, led by Admiral Sengoku, left Marinford, Yeruashi and Robin were leisurely strolling around Merk Island.

Many gambling enthusiasts gather on this island, and casinos can be found on almost every corner.

"Mister, we only have 200 thousand belli left.»

After lunch at a high-class restaurant, Robin carefully counted the remaining funds and looked at Yeruashi seriously: "At this rate, these funds will last no more than ten days...»

"Ah, this is so annoying.»

Yeruashi sighed.

He had originally intended to 'catch' some Sky Dragon and 'ask' for some money after he reached the Sabaodi Archipelago, but now it seems that they don't have enough funds to travel to Sabaodi.

Of course, everything would be fine if the costs were reduced, but Yeruashi had no intention of skimping on food.

"Forget it.»

"Let's play it better...»

Robin flinched at Yeruashi's words: "Do you want to go to the casino?»

Yeruashi stretched in a relaxed manner, " Even though I don't like gambling, but I'm very good at it, there won't be any problem turning 200k into 5 million...let's go.»
