Half-Merman Force
Fortress G-3.
Kuro has been back for a while, idling there.
Recently, the sea has been quite peaceful. At least within the control of the World Government, it seems to be very peaceful, which made Kuro comfortable for a while.
The New World is getting more and more chaotic, but this has nothing to do with Kuro.
Big Mom seemed to be still on the way to the Country of Peace. Kuro wanted to know what kind of sparks they were colliding with the Country of Peace. It would be best if they both died there.
“That idiot Tiki is out?”
At this time, in the office, Kuro frowned and said, “At this critical moment, where is he going? He wants to see Kaido and Lingling fight and take advantage of them? It should be impossible. These two are on the same ship. If Tiki really wants to go over, I’m afraid the two of them will join forces. Where did the information come from?”
Crowe said, “It’s from Headquarters, let us prepare at the front line.”
“Where did Headquarters get this information… Is it from Kuzan? No, although that idiot Kuzan joined hands with Tiki, he himself is not there. It is the intelligence sent by the spy.”
Kuro thought for a moment and shook his head. “There’s no need to care. Just watch quietly. In this damned New World, they can fight.”
“Not really. I think that Blackbeard guy’s target is not Yonkō (Four Emperors) with the same status as him, but somewhere else.”
“Uh, what place?” Kuro subconsciously said and was suddenly stunned.
This sound was not made by someone in the office.
Just Leda and Chlo? in the office, and the voice …
Kuro turned his head and saw a tall man with a long handlebar mustache squatting in front of the side window. He bowed to Kuro with his left hand on his chest.
“Nice to meet you, Vice Admiral Kim Jong-un. My name is Joe Rudolph…”
He smiled at Kuro and said, “It’s a pirate.”
Kuro glanced over and slowly lit a cigar and said, “Bold.”
“If you don’t have the courage, you can’t be a pirate.” Rudolph laughed.
“Joe Rudolph…” Crowe stared at him and pushed up his glasses. “I have heard of this name. He is a famous wandering bounty hunter leader in the New World. He attacked pirates and took their heads in exchange for a bounty. But why do you say you are a pirate?”
Rudolph smiled and said, “I am originally a pirate. It’s just that in the New World, the benefits of killing pirates are greater than robbing.”
With that, he jumped into the office and said, “I heard that Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un has the power of Shichibukai. This time, I brought some small gifts.”
With that, he took out a cloth bag from behind his waist and placed it on Kuro’s desk. The cloth bag was wet, or rather, the man was wet all over.
‘He swam here?’
“Chloe.” Kuro leaned back without looking at the cloth bag.
Crowe walked over and opened the cloth bag and was shocked.
Inside the cloth bag, there were three wet human heads. The human heads also seemed to have water in them, but they were preserved by special craftsmanship and did not rot, but it also meant that these people had been dead for a while.
It was all the old man’s head.
After a moment of shock, Crowe carefully looked over and said, “The [Gale Pirates] Verdi, [Green Claw] Elmara, [Lazy One] Skofi… Mr. Kuro, they are all fugitives from the sixth floor, and the average bounty is more than 200 million.”
“This is my welcome gift.”
Rudolf smiled and said, “I heard that there are still three Shichibukai under Vice Admiral Kim Jong-un. I wonder if I have the honor.”
Kuro stared at him for a while and suddenly smiled. “It’s quite interesting to meet someone who took the initiative to be a Shichibukai. You are not a human, right?”
Rudolf bared his teeth, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and his long handlebar mustache danced with the twitching of his face. “I am Catfish Half-Merman, the commander of the Half-Merman force, representing the Half-Merman force to negotiate.”
“Half-fish?”
Kuro suddenly said, “The group that is not liked by humans and mermen?”
There are Half-Mermaids in this world. Doflamingo has a subordinate, but Half-Mermaids are in a worse situation. Most humans don’t like Half-Mermaids, and most Half-Mermaids don’t like Half-Mermaids. They think that Half-Mermaids are freaks. Except for being lucky to meet people who don’t care about these things, they are generally abandoned.
But this man said that the Half-Merman forces…
Are all Half-Mermaids powerful now?
Kuro looked at Rudolf. He sensed that this person was not weak, and he had killed a few old men.
“What is the bounty?” Kuro asked.
Rudolf shook his head. “I don’t have a bounty on my head. What I did in the New World is not wanted by the World Government.”
Kuro nodded. If there was no bounty, it meant that it did not touch the interests of the World Government and was not reported by the Marine.
The so-called Pirate is also divided. Before the Pirate has a bounty, Marine meets it completely depending on their mood, but they basically choose to ignore it.
Pirates without bounties are useless to capture unless the provocation is serious.
It doesn’t matter how many pirates they fight or how they call themselves pirates. Anyway, they haven’t done anything to offend the World Government.
This Rudolf is like this.
They might have a reputation and power, but they are in the New World, outside the sphere of influence of the World Government, so there is no bounty for them.
“There is no bounty… There is no threat without a bounty.”
Kuro bit his cigar and said, “Shichibukai wants fame. You may have some fame in the New World, but I want the overall fame of the Grand Line. Besides, a few heads don’t mean anything. As a Half-Merman, you should be good at swimming. Maybe you got it from the sea.”
“But I want you to get a bounty now, it’s not appropriate…”
If a pirate wanted a bounty, it would be easy to attack the World Government, but Kuro was crazy to let him do it.
“Capture a few people.”
Kuro tapped his fingers on the table. “I want him alive and dead.”
“I understand…”
Rudolf bowed and was about to leave.
“Wait… Crowe, go and get the bounty for him. If he takes the head, give him the money,” said Kuro.
“Yes.”
Crowe responded and said to Rudolph, “Come with me, I’ll give you Bailey.”
“Ah… Am I being treated as a bounty hunter? But money is fine.”
Rudolf smiled, made a gentleman’s bow and followed Crowe out.
“Half-Merman…”
Kuro watched him go out and narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. “It’s quite interesting.”
He was in his G-3, so of course he would not take Kenbonshoku (Observation) for no reason, but Kenbonshoku (Observation) is actually more of a passive ability. Basically, as long as there is danger approaching, he can sense it.
This Rudolph should have swum over, but he was able to appear in his office without anyone sensing him, which shows that this guy has strength.
Not surprisingly, he killed these old men.
