Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 368 There Are Always Five of the Four Emperors

The cool sea breeze stirs up the waves, blows across the green grass carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, and the light sunlight shines comfortably on the body, bringing people incomparable comfort.

On the lawn deck of the Merry, a tablecloth was spread under the shade of a tree. Everyone sat around and leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea, talking and laughing while playing.

Robin leaned against the tree trunk and read quietly with a smile on her face. She did not mind the noise beside her, but it made her concentrate better. It seemed that such noise could bring her inner peace.

Nami sat quietly sideways with her two long white legs spread out at an angle.

Reiner lay on the lawn with his legs crossed, his head resting on Nami's round legs, and closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth brought by the sun.

Nami took a sip of black tea, put down the teacup, picked up a piece of cake and took a small bite, while casually flipping through the newspaper with her other hand.

"Huh? What is this?"

Suddenly seeing some incredible news, Nami frowned slightly with some confusion in her eyes.

Hearing her voice, Reiner couldn't help but open one eye and glance over with some curiosity.

Nami turned the newspaper over to show him and asked:
"Reiner, do you still remember him, Buggy the Clown? This guy is quite amazing now. Look at this, they are all people we know."

Nami didn't need to explain, Reiner knew the situation the moment he saw Buggy's photo.

There was a large poster published in the newspaper, which consisted of two knives crossed together to form an 'X', dividing the poster into four areas.

On the left and right were the portraits of Hawkeye Mihawk and Crocodile, below was Moriah, and directly above, the portrait that took up the largest area was—

—Bucky!!

"The Cross Guild, an organization founded by Senryodo Baki, rose to prominence overnight and is now one of the Five Emperors of the New World."

Nami said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but gather around.

The four emperors who ruled the New World for many years were overthrown one after another, but new strong men emerged like mushrooms after rain. Kaido was just defeated, and now there is a Cross Guild.

Why are there always five of the Four Emperors?

"Hey! Isn't that the one with the big red nose?! And there's Crocodile and Moriah!"

When Luffy saw Buggy, his eyes widened in shock and he shouted in disbelief:

"What's going on! How did this guy become their boss?!"

"The Navy must be mistaken. Hawkeye is not someone who would yield to others."

Zoro couldn't help but frown. Not only did the picture look like Buggy was the boss of the Cross Guild, but even the text description on the side directly stated this fact, which made him confused.

In addition to a piece of news, there were also several reward notices on the next page of the newspaper, each corresponding to a member of the Cross Union.

Among them, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea who lost their legal pirate status and were put on the bounty again, and who brought together the Cross Guild to form an organization, posed a greater threat.

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk - 35 billion berries.

Crocodile - 19 billion berries.

Gekko Moriah - 12 billion for Bailey.

Then there is the "prestige" of the "commander" of these three powerful men, the former member of the Pirate King Roger, the "great pirate" who is "on par" with Red Hair Shanks, Senryo-do-ha Buggy, whose bounty is:
——31 billion Pelés.

It turns out that the navy is the biggest fan of Buggy. Reiner couldn't help but complain inwardly. Every word in the report left him speechless.

In addition to these four people, Buggy and Crocodile each have some powerful subordinates, such as the bald guy with the Zan-Zan Fruit and the third brother.

Among them, a person with a particularly eye-catching appearance caught Reiner's attention. He had exaggerated makeup, long eyelashes, and an exaggerated expression on his face.

The other party is the former senior agent of Baroque Studio, code-named Mr. 2, the transvestite von Clay.

"This guy is actually hanging out with Crocodile again."

Reiner smiled silently.

Because Xiao Feng did not meet them two years ago, he was not captured and taken to Pushan City to cover them as in the original book.

I thought he would successfully find the island of transvestite, but Sanji didn't seem to mention meeting her on the island of transvestite.

Although the Cross Guild is composed of pirates, this organization is not like a pirate group, but more like a company.

After chatting about the Cross Guild for a while, everyone also learned that this organization had actually issued a bounty on the navy.

Colonel gets one star, major general gets three stars, lieutenant general gets five stars, and one star represents 100 million baileys.

The three most powerful admirals of the navy and the former navy hero Garp each received three crowns, representing a bounty of 30 billion berries.

The current Marshal Akainu has even reached the terrifying five crowns - a bounty of 50 billion berries!
"Akainu's bounty is even more exaggerated than Reiner's!"

Usopp exclaimed.

Originally, Reiner's 42 billion was the highest bounty in the world, followed by Red Hair Shanks' 40 billion Beli, but now a 4890 billion bounty has been offered.

"That's not the case. The Navy's bounty system is different from the Cross Guild's bounty system. But this is enough to show that guy is very powerful."

Reiner sat up and smiled in a casual tone.

The bounty rules of the Cross Guild are basically based on positions, but in fact, the strength of groups with the same rank in the navy is also uneven.

As the old saying goes, the difference between a lieutenant general and a lieutenant general is greater than the difference between a man and a pig.

Now the general is also.

There is a gap in strength between the three former admirals Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru and the current admirals Green Bull and Fujitora. Reiner has fought against them and can clearly feel this.

If we compare based on strength, 30 billion is a bit of an underestimation of Kizaru.

Soon, Luffy swept away all the afternoon tea desserts, and the coffee and black tea gradually lost their warmth and became cold. Nami took back the newspaper and continued to read it. Suddenly, her eyes were startled, and she stood up suddenly and looked towards the bow of the ship.

The newspaper fell from his hand. It contained a report about the revolutionary army's attack on the holy land. Sabo, the successor of the Float-Float Fruit, dropped from the sky with dozens of isolated islands and landed in Mary Geoise.

But Nami didn't have time to pay attention to this matter now. The wind blowing across her skin strongly warned her of the impending crisis of the Merry.

boom! boom! boom!
"oops!"

"Ah la la la! What's going on?!"

Suddenly, the calm sea became turbulent and the ship began to shake violently.

"Two o'clock tack! Take in the sails, Rainer, and turn for eleven o'clock!"

"understood!"

Reiner loudly responded to Nami's command, summoning the undead to do the work while jumping onto the second pilothouse.

The temperature plummeted, a chill seeping into the bones. Ahead of the Going Merry, a layer of white, frigid air blanketed the entire sea, with snowflakes swirling in the fierce wind. "Hold on tight, everyone! We're entering the waters affected by Winter Island's magnetic field!"

Nami shouted hurriedly, bent down and squatted, holding the railing tightly with both hands.

Although the climate of the Grand Route is strange and unpredictable, her rich meteorological knowledge and extensive sailing experience have allowed her to summarize some rules.

Looking at the turbulent sea and the bitingly cold frosty wind, the environment on the winter island we are about to enter is probably extremely harsh.

Everyone held on tightly to the surrounding buildings and entered the sea area with strong magnetic field radiation, which meant that there were islands with corresponding climates nearby, and they would soon be able to end their sea voyage and land on the islands.

Luffy was lying on his exclusive throne, holding the sheep's head of Merry, with some anticipation in his eyes.

Soon, the sailboat ran into a blizzard. The sea water surged wildly, and huge waves hit the side of the boat, causing splashes. The water droplets hit the body, feeling cold.

Far behind the Merry, two small warships were swaying violently in the turbulent current. Watching the Merry gradually disappear in the white blizzard, the captain, steadying himself in a horse stance on the deck, shouted to the Den Den Mushi:
"Calling headquarters! We've lost track of the Straw Hat Pirates in a blizzard, and they've entered the Egghead Sea! I repeat! They're approaching Future Island!"

At the same time, at the entrance to the new world.

Gulu gulu~
A large number of bubbles emerged from the sea surface, and a black shadow gradually rose from the bottom. With a "splash", it broke through the water surface and set off huge waves.

Snapped!
The bubble, unable to bear the weight, was burst by the air, revealing inside the ship's membrane, a warship with a bottom made of a row of huge logs.

"Hahahahaha! You're finally back!"

A burly man stood at the bow with his arms outstretched, wearing a black pirate coat with his chest bare, and his thick beard tied into three short braids.

Blackbeard Teach took a deep breath of fresh air and grinned, revealing a row of large, gapping teeth.

"Even the air in the New World makes me excited. I heard Kaido was defeated. Hahahaha!"

"That guy deserved it! If he had agreed to join forces with me from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened, and we wouldn't have had to travel all the way to the front half of the doldrums."

Turning around, the hideous smile on Teach's face relaxed, and he looked down at the deck with a cold gaze.

A solid human-shaped ice sculpture stood motionless on the deck.

Around the ice sculpture, there were several stone statues standing, which looked like they were carved by skilled craftsmen and looked lifelike. They were several cadres under him, the wine tycoon Basque Qiaot, Catherine Depen, and Lafitte!

Of course, there is only one person in the world who has the ability to turn them into this state, and that is the frozen human-shaped statue, Boa Hancock!
"Damn Smoker! The strength of those Seraphim is really exaggerated, and Rayleigh..."

"Luckily you came with me, otherwise I would be in danger, thief hahahaha!"

The gloom on Blackbeard's face gradually dissipated, and he began to laugh, looking at the bored curly-haired figure sitting on the recliner.

"It's all thanks to you this time, Kuzan."

"Well~, on lazy days, you always have to find something to pass the time."

Kuzan said nonchalantly, lifting the eye mask and putting it on his forehead, then turned to look at Hancock who was completely frozen.

"This is troublesome. According to her, the petrification ability cannot be removed except by her, not even the next user."

"Given Hancock's personality, I'm afraid they'll have to spend their entire lives like this."

Kuzan sighed at the stone statues.

Having said that, Tiqi fell silent, and couldn't help but emit murderous intent in his eyes.

After being ridiculed by Kaido, he gave up his plan to go to Wano Country to seize those powerful fruit abilities.

He already had a grudge with the Straw Hat Pirates, and after some probing, Kaido's attitude towards him was not very friendly. Teach knew that if he went over rashly, he would probably be caught in a situation with wolves in front and tigers behind.

Coincidentally, at this time, he received the news that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was abolished, and he immediately shifted his attention to these powerful combat forces.

If he could recruit one or two, his power would be greatly enhanced. Even if the other party refused, it didn't matter, he could still kill them and take away their abilities.

But Crocodile and his companions formed the Cross Guild, and it was too risky to touch this steel plate, so Teach first set his sights on the Nine Snake Island in the Calm Belt.

Originally, Teach was planning to let Aokiji and Van Oka sneak into the Kingdom of Wanguo and try to secretly kidnap Pudding, who has the blood of the Three-Eyed Tribe, but Pudding was taken away by the Straw Hat Pirates.

Because of this incident, Teach's resentment towards the Straw Hat Pirates deepened, but now it seems that this is a good thing.

If we act separately, the consequences would be unimaginable.

During the battle on Nine Snake Island, several of his men were petrified after just a few moves. He had to face Smoker with two Seraphs, as well as the siege of Pluto Rayleigh and Hancock alone. Not to mention successfully capturing Hancock, it was even uncertain whether he could leave Nine Snake Island alive.

He could use the Dark-Dark Fruit to defend against Hancock in a one-on-one fight, but it was almost impossible for him to fight so many people while guarding against the deadly petrification ability.

"Let's go back first and talk about it later. If it really doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do."

Tiqi glanced at the stone statues and said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Fan Oka fell silent.

From the sound of it, it seems that they are going to abandon their petrified companions.

"It may not be easy to go back. I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Navigator Lafitte was petrified, so he had to act as the navigator for now. Van Oka took out the permanent pointer of Honeycomb Island from his arms and took a look at it.

Fortunately, Aokiji, who has the power of the frozen sea, is here, otherwise it would be a pipe dream to sail from the entrance of the New World to the Beehive Island without a navigator.

the other side.

In the waters of Egghead, pulled by the super express shrimp and driven by the dual power system, the Merry struggled forward in the blizzard covering the sea.

It was not until the thick snow on the deck had reached above their calves that Reiner and his crew finally saw the light breaking through the blizzard.

“Hehehe! Go ahead!!”

Luffy grinned, raising his hands in the air and cheering loudly from the bow.

The light gradually became dazzling, and the super express shrimp pulled the Merry out of the encirclement in one go!
Wow!

The giant red shrimp happily jumped out of the sea with the boat and slammed heavily into the water, stirring up huge waves like a high blue wall. The waves in the air turned into silver threads and poured down.

"Huh? Strange, how could this happen?"

After a violent shaking, everyone finally stabilized themselves. Nami looked around in amazement.

Unlike the white blizzard behind us, the front was unexpectedly calm, the sun was warm, and there was a cool feeling full of summer charm.

"Wuhu~~Hahahaha! I saw the island, everyone!"

Luffy sat at the bow and looked back with laughter, his face as excited as ever.

No matter when or where, always carry with you a passion and enthusiasm.
