Chapter 349: The Admiral is sent!

Merk Island.

This is one of the islands in the second part of the first half of the Grand Line, from here to the end point of the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago, there is only one island left.

The level of pirates who can simply enter the Grand Line and reach this point, of course, is very different.

Here you can often encounter pirates with a bounty of more than 30 million belli.

Of course.

Pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million belli are still extremely rare.

Pirates who can receive such a bounty during the journey in the first half of Grand Line are extremely rare, and are generally referred to as 'Supernovas', at this time, with the exception of Shanks, there are only two 'Supernovas'.

The appearance of the 'Eleven Supernovas' during Luffy's voyage is an extremely rare event, so they were later even called the 'Worst Generation'.

In port.

Yeruashi's boat docked at the shore.

"Robin, let's go."

Yeruashi put down the book and looked at Robin, who was still reading excitedly, "Come on, let's go to the island to eat something good."

Although their goal was to reach the Sabaody Archipelago, there was still a short stop at each island.

On the one hand, it takes some time to adjust the Log Pos to the magnetic waves of the next island, and on the other hand, you need to buy fresh meat and ingredients.

In the meantime, Robin continued to develop as a cook, and her skill with devil fruit went well with that.

With the help of her skill, Robin can simultaneously hold a knife and a pot, which allows one person to work for several cooks at once.

This ability allows him to recreate any part of the body, and not in an illusory form, but in a complete material form.

Thinking about how to use this ability can give rise to many fantasies in any man....

"Well."

Robin put down her book.

Recently, Robin began to pay less and less attention to what was happening around him, the state of constant alertness began to gradually give way to a mature and calm behavior.

They left the ship and headed for the city.

Shortly after disembarking, in front of the window, in the cabin of one of the nearby boats, the man lowered his spyglass and squinted.

He was a Navy scout.

It's an island at the end of the first half of the Grand Line, not far from Marinford, so almost every island in the region has Marine scouts.

"This girl..."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be 'Demon Girl' Nico Robin?!"

Even ordinary marines may not be able to identify Robin at a glance, but his job as a marine scout is to quickly identify wanted criminals.

Whenever the criminal's bounty exceeds 10 million belli, he must remember and recognize him immediately in the event of an encounter, so that he can immediately report it to Marinford.

He immediately pulled out a Den Den Mushi.

"Moshi, moshi..."

"This is Merk Island, traces of the 'Devil Girl' were found here, Nico Robin!"

...

Marinford.

In the office on the top floor.

Nico Robin's bounty reaches 79 million, surpassing the 50 million mark, criminals of this level are usually handled at the Navy headquarters level.

Due to the Aokiji incident, Fleet Admiral Kong ordered all Vice Admirals at headquarters to report directly to him if any information about Nico Robin turned up.

"She turned up..."

Fleet Admiral Kong whispered thoughtfully after hearing the report, "This silver-white-haired man, is he still staying with Nico Robin?"

Vice Admiral nodded gravely, "According to the report, he is still with her and they are just traveling together. They just arrived at Merk Island, setting up a Log Pos on this island takes about ten days."

"Ten days..."

Kong was lost in thought.

Just at this moment.

The man who had been sitting quietly on the sofa all this time stood up confidently.

Over his shoulders was draped a snow-white cloak with the inscription 'justice' and golden epaulettes of Admiral!

It was the Admiral of the Sea Watch, 'Buddha' Sengoku!

Sengoku looked at Kong seriously, "Since Aokiji can't handle this guy, I will personally deal with him, we can't ignore such a threat."

"Sengoku..."

Kong looked at Sengoku with some hesitation and hesitation.

Currently, the Navy has occupied two Admiral positions out of three, besides one of them: 'Black Hand' Zephyr, only nominally holds the position of Admiral, in fact, he is the head of the headquarters recruiting camp.

The third, the vacant post of Admiral, was supposed to be held by Garp, but he repeatedly refused to be promoted, which is why this post remained vacant for a long time.

Actually.

Currently, of the three Admiral positions, two are vacant.

Once Sengoku will leave Marinford, there would be no way for him to send an Admiral if something happened to the Sky Dragons.

"Don't worry so much, the Zephyr is always at headquarters, it can be sent in case of emergency... besides, we still have Garp."

Sengoku looked calmly at Kong.

Kong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, leave right now, but come back as soon as possible. If the criminal manages to escape, come back right away, there's no need to waste time in pursuit, we have plenty of things to deal with."

"I understand."

Sengoku nodded and walked out of the Fleet Admiral's office, his snow white cloak billowing behind him.

After Sengoku left, Kong sighed wearily and took a sip of tea, frowning at the paper lying in the middle of the table.

There were several names written on a sheet of paper.

The 'Destroyer of Worlds' Brandy World!

The 'beast' Kaido!

'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin!

'Red Count' Patrick Redfield!

Captain' Juan!

'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate!

Currently, the New World has not formed a balance of Power, and there is an ongoing struggle of many strong pirates, at the top of which are the Beast Pirates.

As one of the three legends who dominated the past era along with the Gold Lion and Gold Roger, Kaido was recognized as the "Strongest Man in the World" after the Gold Roger was executed and the Gold Lion was imprisoned in Impel Down.

The only relief was that Whitebeard was not interested in creating chaos and conquering.

Otherwise...

The Navy would have had a lot to worry about, and Sengoku would not have had time to deal with the first half of Grand Line.

...

By the time the Maritime forces, led by Admiral Sengoku, left Marinford, Yeruashi and Robin were strolling leisurely around Merk Island.

Many gambling enthusiasts flock to this island and casinos can be found in almost every corner.

"Sir, we only have 200,000 belli left."

After lunch at a high-class restaurant, Robin carefully counted the remaining funds and looked at Yeruashi seriously, "At this rate, these funds won't last more than ten days..."

"Ah, this is so annoying."

Yeruashi sighed.

He had originally intended to 'catch' some Sky Dragon and 'ask' for some money after arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, but now it seems they don't have enough funds to travel to Sabaody.

Of course, everything would be fine if costs were reduced, but Yeruashi had no intention of skimping on food.

"Forget it."

"Let's play nicer..."

Robin flinched at Yeruashi's words, "You want to go to the casino?"

Yeruashi stretched in a relaxed manner, "Although I don't like to gamble, but I'm very good at it, there won't be any problem turning 200k into 5 million... let's go."
