The Capone Family (edited)

"Very well."

Theron revealed a smile. Turning his head to Nico Robin next to him, he said, "Tarot Town's inside information. It hasn't been burned, right? Give it to him directly."

Sixteen-year-old Nico Robin nodded. Her small hands flipped a few times and soon drew out two slips of paper. She walked over to Ross and handed them over.

"Two pieces of information, not encrypted."

Ross took the two slips of paper from Robin's hand and brought them to his eyes to read them.

After Robin handed over the note, she quietly returned to her position, where she continued to organize and memorize the pile of messy information.

If Ross can pick anyone from the people he has contacted so far to be his assistant, he will surely choose Nico Robin.

Although she is now younger than in the manga, the bounty of seventy-nine million berries was placed at the age of eight. However, she has been able to survive in the underworld of the West Blue, and her ability is nearly undisputed.

If one wants to form a group, in addition to her, Trafalgar Law is also someone Ross has carefully thought before; all are thoughtful and act in style very much in line with his style of life.

However;

All these are intended to be pirates, and Ross will only think carefully about things. At present, he does not intend to become a pirate for some reason somehow.

It is not his fault. Why should he carry it? Since the Marine side is a bunch of fools, it is up to him to find out the people who are shifting the blame and hammer them to death!

The note didn't say much.

After reading it, Ross frowned slightly and crumpled the note to show a thoughtful look. He thought it was something pirates did that made him take the blame. He didn't expect it to involve not pirates but the underground mafia forces of the West Blue.

"Is the Capone Family... the same Capone Bege's Mafia family that was one of the supernovas in the manga."

Ross pondered for a moment as his face faded to cold.

No matter what, the forces think they can rest on their backs after doing something to blame him. That's a big mistake!

"I need information on the Capone family in these seas."

Ross looked up at Theron, who had stood up at some point.

Theron flicked his cigarette ash. After a moment of thought, he said, "I know what information you want, and the price is this amount."

"No problem."

After Ross nodded, Theron turned his attention to Robin, who was on the sidelines.

"Yes."

Robin nodded and walked next to Ross. After meeting Ross's gaze slightly, she whispered a full account of the information Ross needed.

After noting the information, Ross took out a few stacks of money from his backpack and threw them to Theron, then turned around and left.

"..."

Robin's gaze lingered on Ross's back for a few seconds before she returned to the stack of information documents on the table.

After leaving the inner hall, Ross, under the watchful eyes of the many pirate hunters in the outer hall with mixed looks, stepped away from the underground base.

What surprised Ross a little was that he just came out of the depths of the alleyway and ran into a team of marines who were on patrol.

"Ghost Hand Ross is here!"

Several guns were aimed at Ross and fired with great gunfire when someone shouted.

Ross does not know the Marine Rokushiki Tekkai nor Busoshoku Haki. It is possible to damage him even with an ordinary gun.

"Nuisance!"

Ross stepped on his feet and flashed to the opposite side of the alley.

He was really annoyed with this group of marines that were in close pursuit. He had the idea of wiping out the whole group of marines, but he held it down.

Whoosh!

As Ross was running fast in the alleyway, he was suddenly followed by a figure cloaked in a Marine justice cloak at the same great speed.

"Ghost Hand Ross! Quickly give up your hands!"

"You can't get away!"

That man is a commander of the nearby marine base. He once arrested a pirate with a bounty of 18 million berries, and he can also use the Marine Rokushiki Soru!

"Do you even use Soru?"

Ross used the corner of his eyes to sweep a glance at the commander that came up close. In a different region, the same rank has a great difference in strength.

East Blue's commander may not be able to beat 10 million berries of pirates, while the Grand Line's commander has many Devil Fruit abilities. As for the New World's commander, they even use the Busoshoku Haki!

"Restrain your hands!"

After chasing a street, the Marine commander shouted angrily. The only thing he could do was to step on his feet and rush steeply towards Ross's back, punching him hard.

Ross turned around impatiently and met it with a punch.

"I have things to do. I don't have time to spend with you marines! Get lost!"

Bang!

When the two fists collided, the commander's strength was still weaker than Ross's. The whole man's arm went numb, and he stumbled back two steps.

Ross swept his hands across the wall on one side of the alleyway, and the wall twisted and collapsed, hitting the commander in the face.

The commander saw this, and his pupils shrank slightly. When he rushed out from the crumbling wall, Ross's figure had already gone.

"Is really a devil fruit ability to distort the wall? No wonder it is called ghost hand..."

The commander looked at the twisted and collapsed wall. When he thought of the punch he just threw with Ross, a cold sweat spilled out of his forehead, and his heart was vaguely afraid.

...

Even though the Marine had set up a tight pursuit circle on the island and the cannon fire bombardment made Ross feel a bit helpless. However, with the Marine Rokushiki Soru, he still managed to break out.

His own boat was gone, so he levied a small boat directly. After casually tossing a few hundred thousand berries, he left the island by boat.

He was given a detailed account of the Capone mafia's intelligence in these seas by Robin. It was specific to the exact location of the Capone family's base built within these seas.

Hege Island.

This island is not far from where Ross is located, about two days away. Ross has been to that island before when hunting pirates and is no stranger to it.

During his journey on the sea, he was not pursued by the marine forces. Obviously, even the marine forces in the vast ocean cannot just lock the position of Ross and then chase him.

If they really can reach that level, then the pirates of this world will not be flooded at all.

However;

During the sailing, something still happened to make Ross upset.

A news coo flew across the sky designed to deliver newspapers to his boat. He casually bought a newspaper, only to find a bounty list for himself inside the paper.

"A bounty of 22 million berries? That's pretty fast action."

Ross has been hunting pirates around for some time. He often has a bounty list in his hand. Now he is holding a bounty list of his own, and he feels unhappy.

In Ross's opinion, being wanted by the Marine with a bounty and hunted all over the sea is a very annoying thing, so he has not wanted this kind of thing to happen.

And.

There is a more serious problem. In today's situation, even if Ross overthrows the Capone mafia and throws the truth to the Marine, can he get the Marine to withdraw the bounty?

At the thought of this, Ross's face grew gloomy.

He finally took a deep breath.

In any case, he will have to go to Hege Town. He is already in such a messy situation, which has touched the bottom line of his patience.
