A pirate on the high seas kidnaps a Celestial Dragon!

"Yes, I can lead the way, please spare my life..."

The naval soldier pleaded with Qi Bai in the same way.

Compared to death.

He wanted to live.

At least.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, his fear of death had reached its peak.

"Of course, it's a deal. You take me to find what I want, and I'll let you go."

"I'm not like pirates who go back on their word and have no credibility whatsoever."

Qi Bai also gave the naval soldiers a faint smile and said.

between words.

It also indirectly put the pirates in a bad light.

but.

Qi Bai did indeed do just that.

Even ruthless bandits need credibility.

He's not going to quit after just one job.

If there is no credibility.

after.

When he kidnaps people, he plans to extort something from their parents, and if his own reputation is ruined...

Would the other party still trade with him?

Will the other party obediently do as I say and give me what I've extorted?

impossible.

and so……

In this line of work, credibility is also very important.

Value reputation.

It is extremely important.

The key is.

The things that ruthless criminals do can be robbery or kidnapping.

These actions would all be classified as involvement in ruthless criminal activities.

but.

For Qi Bai

What he preferred was kidnapping and extortion.

At least.

It was a ruthless bandit operation.

You always have to choose one.

As for kidnapping and extortion...

You can keep cutting chives.

Today I kidnapped you for the first time. Tomorrow your parents will pay the ransom, I'll release you, and I'll receive a reward from the system.

but.

I'll tie you up again the day after tomorrow.

They'll repeat this kidnapping and extortion scheme again.

This means I can get another reward from the system.

They're endlessly exploiting people.

Just thinking about it makes me feel great.

At least.

Some people are treasures in Qi Bai's eyes.

We can't just do whatever we want.

and so……

"I, I, I will definitely be good... and do as I say."

The naval soldier stammered.

"very good."

"You made the right choice."

Qi Bai also said with a smile.

Then, at Zoro's request, the naval soldier took him to the 153rd Marine Division, where they successfully found Zoro's weapon, Wado Ichimonji.

After receiving the goods.

Qi Bai, being a man of his word, released the naval soldier.

After all, the objective has been achieved, and the other party is of course no longer of use.

He was a notorious and reputable bandit.

Naturally, we should let them go.

"Boss, do you need me...?"

Grimmjow spoke at this moment.

"No need."

Qi Bai also shook his head and said.

He certainly understood the meaning behind Grimmjow's words.

but.

If Grimmjow were to kill that naval soldier, wouldn't that damage his reputation?

Although nobody knows.

but.

He didn't need to do that.

He's just a naval soldier, nothing more than an ant.

There's really no need to target an ant like that; doing so would only make him seem narrow-minded and petty.

"Let's go, the matter has been taken care of, let's go back."

Qi Bai said.

At the same time, Zoro's Wado Ichimonji was also directly thrown into the system space.

"Where did you put my Wado Ichimonji?"

When Zoro saw that the other party had taken his Wado Ichimonji, he didn't say anything. Because the other party was stronger than him, he didn't think that the other party would return the Wado Ichimonji to him no matter what he said.

but.

After seeing the Wado Ichimonji disappear from the other party's hand.

This made Zoro's eyes widen in surprise.

He didn't know what methods were used.

But if he were to lose Wado Ichimonji, he would truly regret it to the point of despair.

After all, the Wado Ichimonji (a type of Japanese script) held immense significance for him.

"Put it away."

"These are my spoils of war. I've put them away. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Qi Bai smiled and said to Zoro.

"I will definitely take back Wado Ichimonji."

Zoro looked at Qi Bai and said seriously.

At least, Wado Ichimonji is of great significance to him, and it was completely unexpected that it fell into the hands of the other party. However, this does not mean that Zoro will just watch Wado Ichimonji remain in the hands of the other party.

Rather.

If the situation forces him to accept that the Wado Ichimonji has fallen into the other side's hands, then he can accept it.

But again.

He will also try to reclaim his Wado Ichimonji.

"Then I'll wait for you."

Qi Bai said indifferently.

He had his own weapons, and as for the Wado Ichimonji, he certainly didn't care much.

The reason for taking this weapon.

More importantly, I wanted to get a higher rating, which is why I got my hands on this Wado Ichimonji.

then.

They were also heading towards the port of Shells.

Their ship is over there.

The matter is settled.

Of course, we need to go back to the ship to rest.

He was pretty sure that Luffy would arrive in Shells Town in about a week.

and so……

He will have to wait here for a week.

smoothly.

They tied Luffy up too.

This is the main character, after all. If we manage to tie him up, it'll be a huge surprise for him.

but.

That's the current situation.

He tied up Zoro, and everything here is taken care of.

so.

Simultaneously.

In his mind, he also heard the system's notification sound.

"Ding! Operation against a notorious bandit completed!"

"Ding! Calculating the robbery incident..."

"Ding! Calculation complete. This event is rated as Grade A."

"Ding! You have gained 10000 reputation points!"

"Ding: Bonus rewards: 1 A-grade random weapon draw ticket, 1 A-grade random ability draw ticket, 1 A-grade random subordinate draw ticket!"
