Chapter 16
After hearing Whitebeard's evaluation, Rocks' mouth also showed a clever arc.
Who is Rocks? He is the king of this era. Even someone as strong as Whitebeard can hardly hide anything in front of Rocks.
Rocks certainly understands what Whitebeard didn't say.
Rono is stronger than himself at the same time, and he is likely to surpass himself in the future!
However, Rocks didn't care, but said with interest:"Interesting, it's rare for you to give such an evaluation."
Whitebeard is usually very arrogant.
After all, he is the strongest person in the Rocks Pirates except himself.
There are not many people in the entire Rocks Pirates that Whitebeard can look up to. Now he actually gave such a high evaluation to a young kid who has just started out. It seems that his guess is correct.
This Rono is a promising talent, and will be a great help to overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons in the future!
Then Rocks threw a document to Whitebeard:"There is also this document, take a look."
Like the navy, Rocks also investigated Rono's background.
As the only king of the New World, Rocks is a big shot who is well connected in both the black and white worlds. His intelligence network is spread all over the world. It is very easy to get Rono's background.
"Watching the Celestial Dragons kill his parents, it's no wonder that he aimed at Tenjo Jin as soon as he went out to sea."
After reading the document, Whitebeard suddenly realized that it seemed that this was another guy who was targeting the Celestial Dragons.
At the same time, Whitebeard also felt a lot of empathy for Rono.
After all, Whitebeard valued his family the most. Watching his parents die in front of him, if this happened to him, he would definitely go crazy!
Hearing this, Rocks nodded:"I like this guy very much. Such a genius should not be wandering outside, but should stay in the Rocks Pirates."
Although Rocks has a somewhat cruel personality, he still admires powerful geniuses.
Otherwise, the Rocks Pirates would not have recruited so many strong people such as Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, etc.
It can be said that most of the strong people on the sea are almost in the Rocks Pirates.
Whitebeard immediately understood what Rocks meant when he heard this, but he was still a little unhappy:"Why did you find me for this kind of thing?"
"You also know that you are the one I trust the most on this ship, and you are the only one I can trust to do things."
Rocks was not angry when he heard Whitebeard's unfriendly tone.
This is Rocks' style. As long as there is strength, he can tolerate some minor or even major problems.
Of course, such a style also led to the Rocks Pirates being a group of loose sand.
When Rocks himself was there, he could suppress the ambitions of these monsters with his powerful strength.
But once Rocks himself died, the Rocks Pirates would immediately fall apart. It can be said that they were completely at the two extremes from the Roger Pirates.
After hearing Rocks' explanation, Whitebeard's expression eased a little.
Indeed, there are too many unreliable guys on this ship.
Golden Lion Shiki, Big Mom the bus, and Wang Zhi, John, Silver Axe and other guys are all ambitious guys. No one is convinced by anyone, and they are not trustworthy at all.
"What if he doesn't want to join?" Whitebeard asked again.
""Pirates have their own rules." Rocks smiled coldly, and the meaning was obvious.
The original members of the Rocks Pirates were all formed by Rocks one by one.
People like Whitebeard, Shiki, and Big Mom all joined the pirate group after losing to Rocks.
"OK, I got it. I'll leave immediately."Whitebeard didn't delay and prepared to leave.
In fact, Whitebeard himself was also very interested in Rono. After his parents were killed, Rono took revenge on the Celestial Dragons, which was enough to show that this guy, like himself, was also a person who attached great importance to family affection.
It is not easy to find such a person, after all, there is no such person in the Rocks Pirates.
Looking at Whitebeard's departing back, Rocks felt a little sad for a moment.
Such a big pirate group, there is only such a reliable member.
If there is no Whitebeard, who can he send for such a thing?
I'm afraid I can only do it myself.
"But it doesn't matter. As long as I can bring down Mary Joa's group of Celestial Dragons, I can do anything!"
Soon, Rocks's sadness disappeared, replaced by a horrified murderous aura.
It is difficult to have such murderous aura without killing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people............
"A bounty of 500 million is really unexpected."
In the East Sea, Luo Nuo smiled when he saw his wanted poster.
He was surprised that the first bounty was 500 million.
Even after forty years, a bounty of 500 million is still considered the threshold for becoming a pirate.
"Roger must be very depressed now."
Continuing to read the content of the newspaper, Rono almost laughed out loud. He was actually regarded as one of the crew members by the government, with a bounty of 300 million berries.
It felt good that the future Pirate King had been his crew member. In fact, Rono said goodbye to Roger a few days after the Tenjo Gold incident.
After all, Roger also had his own travels, not to mention that he was rich now and didn't have to ride on Rono's ship anymore.
It is worth mentioning that the World Government also deliberately revealed the news of the Flame-Flame Fruit in the newspaper, so that some pirates who coveted the Flame-Flame Fruit would come to them.
The World Government originally wanted to use this method to make Rono encounter some trouble, but they didn't know that Rono would have to come more often. Point to the strong ones so that he can pick up some abilities.
Unfortunately, the groups of people that Rono met for several consecutive days were all low-level pirates in the East China Sea.
As for the real strong ones, on the one hand, the Flame-Flame Fruit is not in the eyes of the strong, and on the other hand, the strong who are interested in the Flame-Flame Fruit also understand the value of the 500 million reward.
And these low-level pirates dare not even enter the Grand Line, but clamor to kill Rono and snatch the Flame-Flame Fruit.
These low-level pirates have been dominating the East China Sea for a long time, and they do not have an accurate understanding of the strength of the big guys. Rono had to get rid of all these guys who harmed the civilians.
After all, although he became a pirate, Rono was also born a civilian and would not do things that harmed the civilians.
"I don't know how long the Celestial Dragons have been gone, but I should be able to catch up with them at this speed."
After dealing with this group of minions, Rono looked towards the distant sea with murderous intent in his eyes.
Ever since he picked up Roger's Observation Haki that allowed him to listen to the voices of all things, Rono has been looking for the Celestial Dragons.
Listening to the voices of all things belongs to the category of god-level Observation Haki, which allows him to communicate with different kinds of living things and even non-living things.
In other words, Rono can communicate with nearby marine life to obtain the specific location of the Celestial Dragons.
