51 Chapter 51: Reward Order.
East Blue, Logue Town.
Marine Base.
"... Marshal, this is what happened to Hina these days."
Holding the den-den mushi, Hina reported in detail what she saw at Rifan's place.
Of course, she automatically omitted things like Rifan asking her to dance.
On the other side of the call, Marine's Marshal Sengoku held the den-den mushi with a serious face, tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically.
"So that's the reason. That's why we haven't been able to contact you these days."
"Obviously it's just a rookie pirate group with three people."
"But two of them have the Conqueror's Haki."
"The remaining one is the devil child of Ohara!"
"Hina, although your decision violated Marine's regulations, it's not without praise."
"With no way to resist the opponent, you tried your best to protect the Marine on board."
"You also reported information about such a dangerous pirate group."
"There is actually information about Crocodile in it."
"For this reason, I have decided not to impose specific punishment on you for the time being."
"It's just that your Naval Headquarters colonel needs to be demoted."
"From now on, you are a Lieutenant Colonel at Naval Headquarters."
"As for your team... You should still be in charge of your original group."
Hearing Sengoku's words, Hina nodded solemnly:
"Yes! Hina understands Marshal. Then, what about that Rifan?"
"About that Rifan, Garp just happened to be going back to East Blue recently, and I'll let him handle it."
"In that case, can Hina be together? Hina wants to catch that bastard with her own hands!"
"You should go to Naval Headquarters first, I think you also need to take a break for a while. When the time is right, I will arrange a new task for you."
"Okay, Hina understands."
Hina sighed, although she wanted to continue chasing Rifan.
But she also understands that she has violated Marine's regulations, so she should go back for a review.
Moreover, to provide convenience for a pirate group, her position is only downgraded by one level, which is considered an extrajudicial favour.
"Are you okay, Hina."
Smoker looked at Hina who put down the den-den mushi, and asked with some concern.
"It's okay, Hina is fine!"
"Also, get some den-den mushis for Hina."
"The materials on Hina's boat, including the den-den mushi, were taken away by that bastard."
After hooking up the microphone, Hina spoke.
"It's natural. I'll let someone prepare it later."
"However, is the Rifan you mentioned really that dangerous?"
Smoker nodded and said.
"Don't underestimate that Rifan, Smoker!"
"Hina in front of him doesn't have the slightest strength to fight back."
"You heard it before, Hina can't even defeat the crew member named Mikita next to him."
"Smoker, although you are a Logia devil fruit user."
"But that Rifan can use Armament Haki."
"If he comes to LogueTown in the future, you'd better be careful!"
Hina lit a cigarette and said to Smoker with a serious face.
"Armament Haki and Two Conqueror Haki users, what a formidable group."
At this moment, Smoker's face also turned serious.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Naval Headquarters, Office of the Marshal.
"Black Pearl Pirates, Captain Rifan, owner of Conqueror's Haki!"
"There was no indication when touching the seastone handcuffs and chains."
"He should not be a devil fruit user."
"As for his partner, Mikita owns Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, it's unknown whether she can use Armament Haki."
"Suspected to be Kilo-Kilo devil fruit user."
"Besides that, the crew has Nico Robin, 'Devil Child'."
"But she didn't show much strength, and Hina doesn't know much about her condition."
"Tsuru, Borsalino, Kuzan, what bounty do you think is suitable for such a rookie pirate group?"
After Sengoku hung up the call with Hina, he looked at the three people in his office with a serious face.
"Two people with Conqueror's Haki on the same boat, that's scary."
"It reminds me of the Roger Pirates."
"Such a pirate group has too much potential."
"In addition to the fact that Nico Robin's bounty was originally 79 million Berry, the bounty of the pirate captain named Rifan cannot be too low."
"Marshal, why don't you just give him 100 million berries? "
After thinking for a while, Borsalino proposed.
"100 million Berry?"
"Although that man has Conqueror's Haki, and the fact that he can easily defeat Hina does prove that he is not weak."
"But offering a reward of 100 million to one person from the very beginning, isn't that too high."
"Even the empress Hancock was only offered a reward of 80 million Berry after her first action."
"Also, that Nico Robin has betrayed many pirates over the years."
"Perhaps her appearance on Rifan's pirate ship is just a stopgap measure."
Marine Admiral Kuzan frowned and spoke.
That's what Nico Robin has been like since the first time they heard the name.
"Kuzan is right, there is so much uncertainty about Nico Robin."
"Of course, judging from the information given by Hina, that Rifan does have great strength and potential."
"Letting them develop could indeed have a big impact."
"How about, just give him 80 million first."
"Just a little bit higher than Nico Robin."
Tsuru put her chin in her hands and said to Sengoku.
"80 million? Is it the same reward as when Hancock first went to sea?"
"Okay, let's set the amount for now."
"As for the woman named Mikita next to him... let's offer a reward of 50 million."
"Nico Robin's reward remains at the original 79 million Berry."
"Just in time, it's time for her photo to be updated."
"There is also Crocodile. Since it involves Ancient Weapon, although we don't know whether it is true or not, we still need someone to check it out."
After thinking for a while, Sengoku quickly finalized the reward for Rifan and others and the Marine who he planned to send to Alabasta for investigation.
…
A few hours later, the reward related to the Black Pearl flew to all parts of the world along with the latest news papers, spreading across all sea areas in a short period of time.
It has also been passed on to many reincarnators, as well as the Baroque Work Agency, which is trying to collect information about Rifan.
…
Alabasta.
Rainbase, Crocodile office.
boom!
Crocodile punched the desk, and the powerful force caused a crack to appear on the desk in an instant.
"It's really interesting, I haven't got your information yet."
"I didn't expect Marines to spread your information."
"The first reward is 80 million Berry. Marines really like you, Rifan."
"No wonder you have the guts to challenge me."
Crocodile murmured, his face extremely serious.
Afterwards, his eyes flicked over the other two reward orders, and his bad look became even more terrifying.
"Nico Robin, you who were hiding and hiding were finally issued a new reward order by Marine."
"Does this mean that you have betrayed me and really joined the Black Pearl Pirates?"
"And miss Valentine... Did those idiots in Marine make a mistake and offer a reward of 50 million Berry to such a weak person?"
"When did Marine's bounty become so casual?"
After Crocodile thought of what he knew about the strength of Miss Valentine Mikita, he deeply doubted the reward offered by Marine.
For a while, he began to doubt whether Rifan was qualified to afford the 80 million Berry reward on his head.
Shaking his head, Crocodile took his eyes off the reward order and reached out to pick up the den-den mushi beside him.
"Hey, this is Mr0, next, all of you come to the place I mentioned…"
…
