Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

"Yes, boss!"

……

at the same time.

rain.

Here at Crocodile's headquarters.

"That bastard!" Crocodile, who had just hung up the Den Den Mushi, still gripped it tightly, his face unusually gloomy.

He knew that the kid thought he had him figured out.

But it doesn’t matter…

He'll settle accounts with that kid when he gets here!

Crocodile's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he took a deep drag on his cigar and sneered disdainfully, "Justice? You lowly corrupt Marines dare to talk about justice in front of me?"

He waved to Daz Bonis, who was standing to the side.

Daz Bonis understood his boss's meaning, which was... to keep spending money!

only.

Daz Bones hesitated for a moment, then said, "That navy..."

"I know how to handle this." Crocodile flicked his cigar, a sinister smile on his face, and said, "I'll give him one last chance. If he dares to refuse me again, I'll make him understand that I'm a pirate!"

The words fell.

Daz Bonis also understood what his boss meant.

This is the last chance to recruit that marine. If he refuses, the boss will kill him himself to keep the secret!

Thinking of this, Daz Bones nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He was about to recommend himself to the BOSS so that he could personally test the strength of that fallen marine when...

"Pulu pulu~, pulu pulu~"

The Den Den Mushi rang again.

But this time it wasn't Crocodile's personal Den Den Mushi, but rather the ringing of a Den Den Mushi placed on the table.

Crocodile's furrowed brows relaxed again, and he answered the Den Den Mushi expressionlessly. He then looked at Daz Bones and said, "A group of pirates has come. I'll go deal with them! Get the money ready. That cunning Marine won't trust you until he sees the money!"

"Yes, Boss!"

As Daz Bones finished speaking, Crocodile, cigar in mouth, instantly turned into dust and disappeared from sight, heading in the direction indicated by the Den Den Mushi.

soon.

He arrived at the shore, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, Crocodile did not forget his heroic work. He gave a calm smile, encouraged the foolish people of the Alabasta Kingdom, and then turned to look at the huge pirate ship slowly approaching. He immediately frowned again.

Of course~

What made him frown was not the huge, valuable pirate ship, nor the pirate flag flying on it, but rather...

【I control my own life! 】

The bright red banner on the ship stunned even Crocodile, a great pirate who had seen the world.

How could they be so arrogant?

But then he gave a disdainful sneer and shook his head.

Stupid guy.

Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death?

……

Little did they know that at that moment, on that enormous pirate ship...

Big Bear looked at the couplet that had reappeared and fell silent as well. He opened his mouth and looked at Moke, who was standing with his arms crossed, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.

"What are you looking at, Big Bear?" Moke, who was posing, noticed Big Bear's gaze, glanced at his banner, and said with a grin, "Not bad, right! This was designed for me by the boss. He said that as long as I put it up, I can attract everyone's attention, become the brightest star among all the pirates, and make everyone afraid of my aura as the overlord of the East Blue!"

"..."

It is indeed quite eye-catching.

It's just that... you can also easily get beaten up!

But after hearing that it was the BOSS's order, Big Bear didn't say anything more and looked up at the shore.

Let's finish this quickly and go back to see Bonnie!

Chapter 49 No Money, No Life

"Colonel Shache, please save the BOSS!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Shache handed the money box that Daz Bones had given him to Nami, then looked at Daz Bones, who had suddenly bowed to him, with a nervous expression, and said, "I just got here, what happened? What's wrong with Crocodile?"

“Colonel Shacher…” Daz Bonis, a tall, muscular man with dark skin and a monk’s head, silently watched Shacher, who was both nervous and unhesitating as he accepted his money box.

This guy……

What a degenerate naval captain!

Of course~

Money isn't the issue right now!

As the BOSS's confidant, Daz Bonis never expected that he would be defeated and arrested so soon after he went down to prepare the money!

Thinking of this, Daz Bonis gave a wry smile, but after a moment, he said expressionlessly, "The BOSS has been defeated."

Realizing he hadn't explained clearly, he added, "Before you arrived, the overlord of the East Sea had already come and defeated the boss!"

Looking up at Xia Che, he understood that to rescue the BOSS, he had to rely on the power of this fallen navy man.

“I…” Daz Bonis hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, “Could you please rescue the BOSS?”

Although he didn't want to say so much, he didn't mind saying a few more words for the sake of the BOSS, "Baroque Works will definitely give you a satisfactory reward in the future!"

"No rush, no rush! The Overlord of the East Sea?" Xia Che's face froze for a moment, then he frowned. "I didn't expect the Overlord of the East Sea to have become so powerful? He even defeated Crocodile!"

however.

Xia Che had just finished speaking.

"No! It was just a heavy rain. The BOSS wouldn't lose to a mere pirate from the weakest sea!" Hearing the words of the fallen colonel, a cold glint appeared on Daz Bones's resolute face. "Moreover, strictly speaking, the BOSS didn't lose to the East Blue's overlord, but to someone else, also a Devil Fruit user. Judging from the voice the BOSS uttered when he was defeated, it sounded like Bartholomew Kuma, who was wanted by the World Government!"

As for that so-called overlord of the East Sea... he was directly beaten down by the BOSS. If it weren't for the Tyrant Bear's intervention, the BOSS would have already dealt with him.

Of course~

The fact that the Tyrant Bear could obey his commands meant that the overlord of the East Sea was definitely no ordinary person!

He originally wanted to help, but by the time he arrived, the BOSS had already been defeated. In order to rescue the BOSS, he now had no choice but to ask this fallen naval captain for help.

Thinking of this, Daz Bonis lowered his head again and said to Shacher, "Please, Colonel Shacher, once the BOSS is rescued, Baroque Works will give you even more rewards!"

"No rush! No rush!" Shache waved his hand, sighed, and said with emotion, "Crocodile is like a brother to me, he's like an older brother to me! How could I just stand by and watch him get arrested?"

The words fell.

"?!"

Upon hearing Shacher's words, Daz Bonis raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes as he looked at Shacher.

Who would have thought that this corrupt colonel was so greedy, yet so devoted to his partners?!

Maybe he...

There seems to be some misunderstanding.

however.

Just as Daz Bonis had a sudden thought and was about to say something, Shacher was about to speak.

"How much is the reward? When will it be transferred?" Colonel Xia Che suddenly smiled, looking at him meaningfully. "You know, that's your most important boss, you know~"

"..."

He didn't misunderstand!

This is a greedy and degenerate naval captain!

Even the usually stern-faced Daz Bonis couldn't help but stiffen, but he understood his current predicament. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Two hundred million! I can make the decision. Add another two hundred million, Colonel Shacher!"

only.

"A mere two hundred million?" Xia Che's smile changed, and he looked at him with a righteous tone, saying calmly, "You think you can bribe me, Dande Xia Che? Are you underestimating my sense of justice?"

"..."

What kind of justice is this?!

If this is what justice is like in the Navy, the Navy Headquarters would have been destroyed long ago!

Daz Bonis cursed inwardly. As a taciturn assassin, he never imagined that he would one day curse someone like that in his mind.

But thinking of the BOSS's situation, he took a deep breath and continued in a gloomy tone, "Five hundred million! We've already given eight hundred million, and five hundred million is the last bit of funding that Baroque Works and Rainfield can come up with!"

however.

The voice just fell.

Upon hearing the word "five hundred million," Colonel Xia Che smiled again.

But before Daz Bonis could even breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally possible...

Colonel Xia Che's expression changed again, and he spoke with an air of righteous indignation, "A mere five hundred million? Are you underestimating my justice?"

"..."

That greedy naval captain!

Daz Bonis, who was usually stern-faced, turned ashen again, but after a moment he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

At least... the word "bribery" is no longer used!

His eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a cold tone, "I know the BOSS's treasure vault, and I can tell you about it!"

"Crocodile is like a brother to me, he's like an older brother to me! How could I just stand by and watch him get arrested!"
