The Scourge of Pirates

You can search for “Pirate’s Scourge” in 100 degrees to find the latest chapter!

In just half a month, the news that Mad Hat Town will auction a Devil Fruit has spread throughout most of West Blue.

Suddenly, Pirates eager for power swarmed.

Especially those Captain Pirates who are ready to enter the Grand Line, this is inevitable.

What does a Devil Fruit mean?

They also have a deep understanding of Pirate, who is about to break into the new world.

On the other hand, West Blue’s Marine branch can naturally capture this news.

However, the deployment of troops is an inevitable flaw in the Marine branch, so even if you know it, it is difficult to do anything.

Because it is West Blue after all, not Grand Line.

Leaving aside the priority, as one of the 4 Seas, West Blue’s intuitive Sea Territory is by no means comparable to Grand Line.

Correspondingly, this also means that the Marine branch of West Blue needs to spread the overwhelming majority force in various places in order to protect the safety of the people in the jurisdiction.

If it is necessary to dispatch the four scattered troops together, although there is no problem in instant messaging and other aspects, the time limit cannot keep up.

The most difficult problem still stems from Pirate’s omnipresent threat.

They are not like Marine who need to be stationed in one place to maintain law and order. Although they will not be in groups, they have the same commonality as they can move freely everywhere.

Seeing the profit here, they stuck up like a grasshopper in blood.

When Marine was in place, he fled without looking back, and then went to a profitable place on the other side.

In this situation, arbitrarily dispatching troops will only give those locust-like Pirate act wilfully opportunities.

Therefore, compared with the threats posed by individual Pirates, in terms of quantity, 4 Sea Pirate is different from Grand Line Pirate, which can make the Marine branch a headache.

Of course, due to various factors such as different folk customs and cultures, the number of Marine forces in each jurisdiction of West Blue varies.

Eliminate some inaction Marine worms. In some jurisdictions with sufficient military strength, Marine will pool the overflowing forces into a mobile-based force, and their main task is to chase and suppress Pirate, who fled.

This type of Marine force, which is not restricted by jurisdiction, often allows Pirates to become terror-stricken at the news.

But although effective, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

And what can these forces do in an inaccessible zone with deep roots like Mad Hat Town?

This is like a police officer with a gun breaking into a den of ten thugs.

Due to the deterrence of firearms, the ten gangsters in the den would voluntarily give up their numerical advantage, and then bow their heads.

But if a gun-armed sheriff breaks into the den of over 100 gangsters, the result is self-evident.

To break this situation, unless Marine Headquarters sends a force that can break the balance.

However, the turmoil caused by a Devil Fruit alone is not enough to form the conditions for Marine Headquarters to get involved.

Although the West Blue Marine branch was unable to form a strong blow to Mad Hat Town, all kinds of eyeliners still focused on Mad Hat Town.

Inability to act does not mean that you do nothing.

…… ..

Mad Hat Island, Mad Hat Town, Mad Hat Auction House.

As the name implies, the building of the auction house is like a top hat lying horizontally on the ground.

For example: ♎

From the first floor to the 2-Layer of the auction house, like the brim, it covers the largest area and is also the main venue for auctions.

In order to increase the passenger capacity, the design style of auction is roughly the same as that of a regular opera house.

Therefore, 2-Layer can actually be summarized in one layer.

The higher levels decrease the area as the height increases.

The room on the top floor of the auction house, as it should be by rights, belongs to the boss who controls the auction house.

As the culmination of the auction house, the room decoration can be described as gold and jade in glorious splendor, revealing the atmosphere of nouveau riche everywhere.

The wall in the room facing the center of the street is a full-surface coated floor-to-ceiling glass window. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a set of European-style hall tables based on deep red.

The Devil Fruit, which will be auctioned in ten days, is placed on the tabletop with a layer of soft cloth underneath it to show its preciousness.

Sitting on the sofa chair in the main seat was a strong middle-aged man wearing a red suit with a slicked head and a cigar in his mouth.

This person is the Boss of the auction house-Luchesse Ralph.

“A wave of hands can make those wolves, tigers and leopards go crazy. This is the charm of Devil Fruit.”

Ralph lay on his back on the sofa, his eyes were cold and dark, as if he had been stripped of his humanity, and it was difficult for ordinary emotions to appear in it.

Opposite him, a man said with a sneer: “It’s worthwhile for me to bring Devil Fruit back from the Grand Line. Just a trip to another place can increase its value several times. This is a good deal. , There are so few in the world.”

Ralph lowered his eyelids and looked at the man’s proud face through the smoke that he exhaled, and did not say anything to correct the man’s wrong perception.

In this world, there are so many good deals.

It only doubles the value of a Devil Fruit. It is more the effect of marketing than the sale itself.

Ralph rubbed his fingers to wipe out the red-burning butts of his cigar, indifferently said: “The reserve price is 200000000 million, and the transaction price should be 1 billion upwards.”

“so much?”

The man startedled, obviously trusting Ralph’s judgment.

Ralph glanced at Devil Fruit on the table, and said: “The giants of West Blue Underground World look down on this Devil Fruit, but the five big gangs are bound to win, so those who have the ability to take the fruit will only It’s one of them, do you know what that means?”

Without waiting for the man to answer, Ralph continued:

“It means that as long as it is a normal bidding, this number will only be raised up to the limit they can bear. Of course, the premise is that no one secretly uses the means. As for those Pirates who are swarming, it is just to make up the number. That’s all of money.”

Listening to Ralph’s words, the man immediately became interested.

“Then you think, among the five big gangs, who is most likely to take this fruit?”

“Gangster. Becky.”

………….

Saul Weapon Store.

Half a month later, Maude’s injury has basically been completely recovered, and coupled with the fact that every day, there is no sign of weight loss on his face.

Compared to the pale and haggard face when he first woke up, it was also ruddy and shiny.

Maude, who was recovering well, took off the bandage and looked in the mirror on purpose.

The original morbidity no longer exists, and replaced by a blood-filled face, plus the negative effect of the bandage covering the eyebrows.

After looking in the mirror, Maude found herself unexpectedly-so handsome?

At the same time, he finally found the second prey—the neighbor.
