Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 88 Target!Great route!
Although Smoker put away his weapon, Ethan still didn't relax his vigilance. He still stared at Smoker warily: "What's next? What else did Mr. Garp tell you? Let's talk together."

"It's gone, it's really gone." Smoker slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings, and due to his exhaustion, he sat down on the ground, "To be honest, this fight was also my own idea."

"Hey?" Ethan exclaimed in surprise, "What?"

"Lieutenant General Garp just talked to me about you on the way here. He knew that I was going to take up the post in Rogge Town, so he asked me to bring you a message."

Ethan squinted at Smoker: "So? Why do you want to do it? You can't just see me unhappy at the first glance, right?"

and many more……

Ethan reacted abruptly: "On the way here??? Mr. Garp came with you?" He was a little panicked and couldn't help but look around.

"Don't look at it." Smoker let out a long breath, and the thin smoke around him due to exhaustion slowly recovered, "Lieutenant General Garp separated from me outside the town."

... Ethan thought of a possibility.

No way…

He turned his head stiffly, and looked in the direction of the upside-down mountains and rivers: "Ace Sabo... ask for blessings."

wrong!Now is not the time to gloat!If the old man really went to find Sabo and Ace, they would definitely run away!The safest way is naturally to follow the upside-down mountain and river directly...

what about me?Ethan shook his head helplessly, it seems that the boat with the wind will not catch up.

"Before I came here, I carefully investigated the situation in the East China Sea in advance, and finally came to a very surprising conclusion... Over the past few years, none of the pirates who have successfully reached the great route! Thirty percent of the pirates on the way were lost to you alone." Smoker said, "With your strength, you can obviously go to the great route to find pirates with higher bounties, but you just hide In the East China Sea..."

"What's the matter, can't I be self-motivated?"

"I thought so too, but after listening to Lieutenant General Garp, I naturally understood." Through the smoke, Smoker's eyes shot over like sharp swords, "Lieutenant General Garp wanted you Joining the navy... It seems that you are not very willing... Also, I received news that you had contact with the 'Spades Pirates' a week ago, right?"

"Hahaha!" Ethan laughed exaggeratedly three times immediately, "We are not familiar with each other, so be careful when you talk like this, I will sue you for slander! Besides, the beating is over, what business do you have? If you don't, just talk about my business, where is the money? Want to renege on the debt?"

"Money...Of course there is, but don't try to change the subject." Smoker stared at Ethan coldly, "Do you want to go to sea and become a pirate?"

Ethan rolled his eyes: "I have caught so many pirates and sent them here, every time you have to compare them again and again to confirm their identities. How did I get here? I haven't even been a pirate before." Now, you're going to put a hat on me now?"

"Your performance in the East China Sea is too amazing... I have to be more cautious... Besides, after being a bounty hunter for so long, don't you know what kind of people the pirates are?" Smoke said.

Of course I understand... Ethan couldn't help shaking his head. When he was watching One Piece, he would be moved to tears by the determination and courage of the pirates to pursue their dreams.But when he really came to this world and looked at the group of "pirates" from the perspective of an ordinary person, he realized that what they brought to the common people in this world was only more suffering.

In the past five or six years, Ethan has seen with his own eyes how a peaceful small village was turned into a hell on earth full of corpses and ruins after being ransacked by pirates. Despair and fear.

For ordinary people, they don't know the boldness of One Piece King Gol D. Roger and the freedom to die calmly. They also don't know that in the new world, many islands can live peacefully and stably because they receive the protection of the Four Emperors. .

In their eyes, what One Piece, Four Emperors, etc., etc., they are just the spokespersons of this group of demons who burn, kill and loot.

Looting and killing are the jobs of pirates. In the future, Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates are not strictly pirates at all, but more like "adventurers".And like them, there are too few pirates who go to sea purely for "dreams".

Therefore, in the past five or six years, there were only a handful of pirates who could be let go under Ethan's hands.

"I understand, but there's no reason for me to join the navy, is there?" Ethan put the Shuangtian Knife into the inventory, spread his hands and smiled, "I'm a bounty hunter now, fighting crime while fighting crime. There is still money to take, why not do it? Right? You have said so much, do you want to deny it? "

"That's not true...the navy can't rely on your money, but...if you don't become a navy, you don't know how difficult the financial situation of the Rogue Town base is..." Smoker's mouth twitched unnaturally , A large cloud of smoke leaked from his mouth.

Seeing Smoker's expression, Ethan was taken aback for a moment.

This guy... must be laughing!
"...You guy, you want to tell me that if I don't become a navy, then the money won't be given to me?" Ethan said in disbelief.

"Cough...I didn't say that, the Navy will never default on the bounty! But you...I said, you really don't know much about the financial situation of the Logue Town Naval Base..." Smoker seemed to have that A little embarrassed, but still reluctantly said.

Hearing this, Ethan turned his head and left.

"What are you doing? You don't want the money?"

"No! I'll spend all the money from selling the house later, and print 80 million leaflets, fully explaining the Rogue Township Naval Base, and you, an old smoker, who owed money and didn't pay back. In vain, spread the word on the great route, and let everyone on the great route know who you are!" Ethan shouted angrily.

The veins on Smoker's forehead were protruding, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "Come back!"

In the end, Ethan managed to get the money back. Not only that, but his boat was also pulled back completely on Smoker's back, and it stopped at the port on the west side of Rogge Town.

But it's useless for me to have a boat now... Ethan thought with a sad face, it's impossible for him to play with the climate and currents of the great route.

In the end, Ethan simply sold the boat, holding the nearly [-] million Bailey in his hand, Ethan felt a little excited.

Five or six years of bounty hunter career has also allowed him to accumulate a lot of connections. With these connections, he spent about 8000 million Baileys to buy Hailou Stone worth 350 energy. He basically bought all the remaining Hailoushi handcuffs, and there were no more.

So next, what Ethan needs to consider now is how to go to the great route.

The Isento people went to investigate the lighthouse at the crossing of the Reversing Mountains and Rivers, but Ace and Sabo were no longer there, so he turned his idea to the local merchant ship.

In Rogge Town, there are many merchant ships that travel to and from the four seas and great routes, and sometimes they also hire some powerful bounty hunters as guards.So Ethan set his sights on a chamber of commerce called "Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce".

The captain of the chamber of commerce, Nelson, was a bold man with a big beard. His jaw dropped when he heard Ethan's name, and he rubbed his hands to welcome Ethan to join him.

Soap was really reluctant to part with Asong, and the restriction that it could not be too far away from Ethan was lifted, so Ethan simply kept it.

Early this morning, Ethan finally embarked on a journey to the great voyage in the face of Asong and Soap's tearful farewell.

The financial scale of the "Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce" is not too large. Although they are engaged in the business of weapons and ammunition, because the channels have not been fully developed, the size of the fleet is not too large.But there are also five three-masted ships, and any one of them can be completely different from Ethan's previous ships.

Feeling the warm sunshine and the cool sea breeze, Ethan was in a good mood, borrowed a deck chair from Captain Nelson and lay down on the bow.

Not long after, in Ethan's sight, the end of the horizon rose slowly like a high wall of red soil continent in front of people.

"Is this the first time seeing you?" Seeing Ethan's expression of surprise and emotion, Nelson, who came to the bow of the boat to observe the current, couldn't help asking.

Although Ethan had a bad reputation, Old Nelson felt very kind to him with such a gentle expression, so he spoke to Ethan.

"Not really. I've seen it a few times from a distance before, but it's not as strong as it is now."

Their boat was heading straight towards the Red Earth Continent. Watching it zoom in and out until it soared into the sky, the visual impact was undoubtedly great.

Just chatting with Nelson, seeing that the lighthouse had also appeared in sight, Nelson raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Notify all ships, put down the sails, and prepare to slow down!"

The sailors listened to the order and hurriedly retracted the horizontal sails that were blown by the wind, as did the following ships. As a result, the speed of the fleet quickly slowed down, and even almost stopped.

Nelson just stood at the bow of the ship, silently looking at the red earth continent in the distance, even the sailors on the ship were very quiet. At this moment, Ethan could only hear the sound of curling waves and chirping seabirds.

Ethan looked at their actions and felt a little strange. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard a strange rumbling sound from the Red Earth Continent.

Not only that, but in the interval of the rumbling sound, Ethan also heard a deep cry similar to "Aoooooooooo".

This made Ethan suddenly remember that at the Gemini Gorge at the exit of the great route, there will always be a big whale named "Rab". Rab came to the great route with a pirate group. But because the great route was too dangerous, the pirates left Rab here, and made an agreement that they would come back to pick him up after they circled the world.

But unexpectedly, Raab has been waiting here for 50 years.Now it lives in sadness every day, it will rise above the water and roar to the sky every day, or it will hit the red earth continent that can never be knocked down without thinking about its own body.

Were they listening to Rab?The more Ethan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. When Luffy and the others rushed out of the upside-down mountains and rivers, they ran into Labo. They fired directly and used the reaction force to stop the ship. They hit Labo long ago and the ship was destroyed. .But even so, they were eaten in one bite by an angry Rab.But a chamber of commerce merchant ship like Nelson who always has to travel between the great sea route and the four seas, surely can't act like this?
Because Rab also rests for a period of time every day, and he is not always stuck at the exit of the Twin Gorges, so they should wait for Rab to get tired from the collision, and then take the opportunity to enter the great route, right?
