Chapter 26: Bounty
Three days later, on board the Dreadnaught Sabre.
Zoro, Kuro, and Gin are teaming up to besiege Basire, while Eldoraggo is firing his sonic cannons on the side to provide long-range support.
Basire, who deliberately did not use the barrier fruit, continued to practice his Observation Haki and Armament Haki in this fight, and received more than a dozen cuts and several laser cannon hits for this.
He continued to make breakthroughs in this life or death training, especially because the two guys Kuro and Eldoraggo didn't hold back at all and tried to kill him seriously.
But it was also this kind of real training that made Basire significantly improve.
In the watchtower on the huge mast, the little thief cat Nami is observing the course of the fight. At this time, she is the navigator and lookout of the Big Daddy Pirates.
The Nyaban brothers Buchi and Sham are sailors, responsible for pulling and controlling the sails of this big ship. Hypnosis master Jango, a dancer, also serves as the helmsman. All three of them must obey Nami's command and control the direction of the big ship.
The swordsman Golass was arranged to go to the kitchen. He reluctantly put down the murderous sword, picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables, and also acted as the chef temporarily.
Ironwall Pearl became the lowest-status crew member, responsible for doing chores, helping out, and cleaning.
These bounty prisoners that used to be officers in their respective pirate groups, in the Big Daddy Pirate Group were the lowest trainee crew members, doing the same things as weak pirates.
But they didn't dare to resist and could only bear it silently because the captain of this ship was too powerful.
Watching Basire fight against four cadres alone, they knew how strong this captain was, because he had not yet used his invincible barrier fruit ability.
Captain Basire is now practicing the legendary Haki. Hearing the captain say that this is the entrance ticket to the New World, these little pirates who have never even been to the Grand Line are unaware of its power.
They felt as if they were hooked up with a big shot, and Captain Basire was a big shot with big dreams.
For this reason, their restless hearts finally had a sense of belonging to this pirate group.
···
Grand Line, Alabasta, Rainbase.
Miss Allsunday, the vice president of Baroque Works, looked at the latest information about East Blue in her hand.
"Finally found you, Big Daddy Basire!"
Nico Robin looked at the intelligence of the Big Daddy Pirates who destroyed the Krieg Pirates, the overlord of East Blue. Among them, Sonic Eldoraggo, who caused the loss of contact and death of Mr11, had disbanded his own pirate group and joined the Big Daddy Pirates.
Nico Robin was able to quickly analyze the reason, and looking at the latest bounty order from Daddy Basire, she knew that the young man on the other side of the den den mushi that day was the murderous captain of the Big Daddy Pirates.
The murderer in the reward order was standing in a mountain of corpses, covered in blood, especially his devil-like smile, which made people tremble with fear.
[Big Daddy] Daddy Basire, captain of the Big Daddy Pirates, has a bounty of 20 million Beri, dead or alive!
"One person actually killed about two thousand members of the Krieg Pirates!"
Nico Robin feels that 20 million Beri is definitely too low, but after all, it is the weakest sea, East Blue. The first bounty was given to the highest point of East Blue. It should be regarded as Marine giving the highest attention to Basire.
Now she just wonders why this person from East Blue knows her identity and about Ohara.
"With your murderous and ambitious nature, you should be entering the Grand Line soon."
Nico Robin doesn't have much affection for cruel pirates like Basire. She just wants to find out the source of his intelligence. It's best to kill him to prevent her and Crocodile's identities from being exposed.
After all, Alabasta's plan to take over the country is still in progress, and the secrets of Baroque Works cannot be exposed so soon.
She is already preparing to take people to Whiskey Peak, one of the first islands of the Grand Line, to intercept the threat of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Because it involved some information about Ohara, she had no intention of reporting this matter to Crocodile.
…
In East Blue, the latest bounty order for the Big Daddy Pirates was released, making some pirate groups fearful, this is a powerful pirate group composed entirely of elite pirates.
[Big Daddy] Daddy Basire, with a bounty of 20 million beri.
[Pirate Hunter] Roronoa Zoro, with a bounty of 18 million beri.
[Hundred Plans] Kuro, with a bounty of 17 million Beri.
[Sound Wave] Eldoraggo, with a bounty of 17 million Beri.
[Fallen Swordsman] Golass, 11 million Beri.
[Hypnosis Master] Jango, 10 million Beri.
[Nyaban Brothers] Buchi and Sham, 8 million Beri for both.
However, the original bounty of 12 million Beri, Man-demon Gin, and Iron Wall Pearl, with 9 million Beri, were not yet known to have joined the Big Daddy Pirates, so the first update of the bounty order did not involve them.
The bounties of Jango, the Nyaban brothers, and Golass all increased by a small amount, it seemed that they did not have many dazzling achievements.
Kuro and Eldoraggo both had the same bounty, which made them unhappy with each other, especially Eldoraggo, even though he got a big increase of 7 million beri, while Kuro just got an increase of 1 million. Because he felt that his power to destroy ships should be regarded as more dangerous and afford him a bigger bounty.
And Kuro also had a gloomy face. He had been hiding for two years, and as soon as he came out, he destroyed the East Blue overlord, and he actually gained just this little increase in bounty. Is this looking down on him?
"Haha~, are No. 3 and No. 4 the same? Then do you want to fight it out again and rearrange your positions?"
Zoro, the green algae head, laughed a little proudly. He finally got his bounty order, and for the first time, he was higher than the two former pirate captains, Kuro and Eldoraggo.
From now on, this No. 2 position should not be ridiculed by Kuro anymore, that bastard always used his lack of bounty to make fun of him.
Now he is truly the second in command!
In fact, Basire himself was not satisfied with this bounty. His initial bounty was actually much lower than that of Straw Hat Luffy.
Straw Hat Luffy defeated East Blue's Arlong Pirates before receiving his first bounty. The initial bounty was 30 million Beri, which shocked many people.
But there is no way, the reputation of the Big Daddy Pirates for killing the Krieg Pirates, the overlord of East Blue, has spread too quickly. If he waits until he deals with the Arlong Pirates, the bounty will be even higher!
And Nami was already very excited. Basire's bounty was already the same as that of the Arlong.
And with so many powerful crew members, the success rate of overthrowing the Arlong Pirates has exceeded 60% in her mind.
"Basire, I can't wait to deal with the Arlong Pirates. I'm very dissatisfied with the bounty this time."
Kuro's gold-framed glasses reflected a dangerous white light as he adjusted them with his palm. He would never give up his opponent to the green algae head again.
He was actually ridiculed by a brat with half a brain and a complete muscle head!
"I'm very angry right now! What kind of level is that Arlong? How dare he get the same bounty as me."
Basire gave an order with his upper body naked as he exercised, and even the second-in-command Zoro was rushed to row the boat to speed up and rush to Cocoyashi Village at full speed.
'Among the pirates in East Blue, I, Basire, am the strongest!'
