Receiving of 250 million Berries

Keynes and Burgess returned to the sea, where two boats were parked.

One is from Keynes, and the other is naturally from the Walker Pirates.

But now the pirate ship has been destroyed by Burgess and turned into a pile of ruins.

The members of the Walker Pirates who stayed on the ship were also killed by Burgess.

"Have you brought the heads of the bounty criminals? Don't forget."

The Walker Pirates are not an ordinary small pirate group. Captain Stewart Walker, who has been with the Grand Line for four years, has a bounty of 120 million Berries.

There are also three commanders under his command, all of whom have a reward of more than 10 million Berries.

Only Captain Stewart and two other commanders died under Keynes.

The last cadre was responsible for staying behind the pirate ship, and was finally beheaded by Burgess.

"Weihahahaha, don't worry, Captain, I brought it all."

Burgess didn't know where to get a cloth bag for the head, which was still dripping blood.

Obviously, the heads of the Walker Pirates' bounties are all in it.

"Well then, let's set sail to the nearest marine base."

After Keynes finished speaking, he aimed his right hand at the ruins of the pirate ship ahead, and summoned a small black hole.

Black-Holes are fast, relatively speaking compared to humans.

*Boom!*

The moment the black hole touched the ruins, a big explosion occurred directly and blew up the ruins of the pirate ship into nothingness.

A large amount of seawater evaporated causing a sky of water vapor and even the coastline was blown up.

The power of such an explosion is comparable to that of a hundred cannonballs exploding at the same time, and is comparable to the laser beam of the Light Fruit.

Furthermore, this was just a random blow from Keynes.

Keynes was pleased with the explosive power.

As he thought, the lethality of the black hole explosion is really extraordinary.

"Captain, did you eat a devil fruit?"

Burgess was also taken aback.

"Yes, from the ruins of the town."

Keynes didn't explain too much.

The existence of the system was not something he was going to talk about.

Burgess is also very aware of the sense of proportion, and did not ask too much.

A small merchant ship slowly pulled away from the coastline and eventually disappeared into the sea.

...

Three days later, Keynes came to Taloz Island, adjacent to Tulip Island, where the marine base was located.

Seeing a boat docked, the residents on the shore gave a vigilant look.

After discovering that the person who disembarked was not a pirate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On the Grand Line, the pirates are too much of a threat.

No matter which island they are on, when most civilians see pirates, their first reaction is to stay away and run away.

Keynes came to the pirate world ten years ago, and he didn't want to be a pirate in the past.

To be a pirate is to be hunted not only by marines and bounty hunters, but also by other pirates. It can be said that there are enemies on all sides.

Compared to being a pirate, being a marine is safer, but Keynes was born into an unusual family and something happened later.

Being a marine won't help him get revenge, so Keynes can only work as a bounty hunter and slowly build up his strength.

Keynes arrived at the marine base, where soldiers panic when they recognize Keynes.

After all, Keynes is no small man and his strength and fame deserves the caution of the marine.

Plus the bounty hunter's reputation stinks.

In the marine's eyes, bounty hunters are actually a group of thugs. Many pirates were formerly bounty hunters, and they were all targets that the marines needed to eradicate.

Colonel Morrow hurried over to the base and saw Keynes with a solemn expression on his face.

"I know you, you're the famous John Keynes. Who's the unlucky fellow this time?"

Behind Keynes, Burgess stepped forward, opened the cloth bag and poured out four heads with four bounties at the same time.

"The four bounties of the Walker Pirates are all here, let's check."

"Walker Pirates!"

Colonel Morrow was startled and quickly stepped forward to check.

You know, Stewart, was a criminal with a bounty of over 100 million, is not something he can deal with as a colonel.

At least a general-level officer of the headquarters can solve it!

Seeing the faces of the four Walker Pirates, and comparing with the reward order, Colonel Morrow confirmed the identity of the heads.

"Yes, it's Stewart and his subordinates."

Morrow took a deep look at Keynes with a look of fear in his eyes, "Wait a moment, the bounty will be delivered soon."

After a while, two soldiers ran out of the base each carrying a large box in their hands.

Morrow took the box and opened it, which was full of banknotes.

"Stewart and his three commanders were worth 250 million Berries. You can count it if you want."

"Nah, you know what happens if you take my money!"

Keynes hooked his fingers, and Burgess stepped forward and took two large boxes.

Subsequently, Keynes and Burgess left the marine base.

A group of marines breathed a sigh of relief when Keynes was gone.

Colonel Morrow didn't blame his marines for being timid. After all, facing Keynes, even he was terrified.

In the course of the transaction, I have always been nervous.

"Okay, let's go to training."

"Don't think that the bounty hunters are helping out the marines by killing pirates, it only proves that the marines are incompetent."

"Starting today, the daily training will be doubled again!"

Colonel Morrow issued an order in a deep voice and drove all the marine soldiers under his command to the training ground.

Starting today, the marine soldiers of Taloz Island began their days of suffering.

Colonel Morrow returned to his office and informed his superiors about Keynes.

After all, the death of a criminal with a bounty of over 100 million and the disappearance of a pirate group of over 100 million are both big events and must be reported to Naval Headquarters.

As for what to do with Naval Headquarters, that's not something he should care about as a colonel.
