One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 97 What the hell is Xia Nuo

"prey?"

The billionaire elder was immediately overjoyed. He turned around, opened his arms to his subordinates, and laughed heartily:
"Men! Put on a good show for the two masters! Show these sea rats what a professional 'port welcome ceremony' is!"

“Ooooooooooooooooo!!!”

With the deafening roar, the hunters dispersed like the receding tide.

Some of them changed into civilian clothes and greeted them at the port, while the other part ambushed them along the two banks.

This is their specialty, their usual style, which is to pretend that this is a town that welcomes pirates.

When these rookies from all over the world believe it, let down their guard, drive their boats into the dock, and go ashore laughing and joking.

Then they suddenly attacked from both sides, firing artillery fire, catching the pirates off guard.

Due to the extremely limited information exchange between the Grand Line and the four seas, this tactic rarely fails and always works.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like we came at the right time and were able to witness such a grand spectacle."

Mr. 5 said leisurely, "In that case, how about we find a good spot here for Valentine's Day, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy the view in peace?"

"Who wants coffee? It's bitter and astringent!" Miss Valentine snorted, "Give me a glass of lemonade, no lemon, no anger!"

"All of them, all of them. Please follow me."

The billionaire elder quickly invited the two to sit on the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant, where the view was good and they could perfectly enjoy the scenery along the harbor.

Then he turned to the lookout on high and asked, "Hey, the prey should have entered the harbor's perimeter by now! Can you see the flag clearly?"

"Can it be possible..."

The lookout on the high ground sounded somewhat puzzled. "It's just that their flag is a little strange. It's white, and the pattern looks a bit like the navy's... Wait, I remember now!"

His eyes suddenly widened and he screamed, "It's the End Pirates! It's the End Pirates who were responsible for the Rogue Town tragedy!!!"

The entire dock was suddenly silent.

The bounty hunters who had picked up their flintlock rifles and were about to take aim suddenly froze in place.

Several veterans who were loading bullets into the cannons slipped and the lead bullets rolled into the sea.

The End...Pirates?

Mr.5 and Valentine looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

During this time, they had been processing the Baroque Works' onboarding procedures and hadn't paid much attention to news from the outside world...

Why, is this pirate group very famous?
"There's a change of plan! Senior Agent!"

The voice of the Billionaire Elder was already filled with tears, and cold sweat was pouring down. "These monsters... We can't afford to offend them! We have to retreat, now--"

Snapped!
Before he could finish his words, Mr. 5 reached out his hand expressionlessly, grabbed his hair, and lifted him up like he was picking up trash.

"Hey, idiot."

He leaned closer to the face distorted by fear, his eyes icy cold behind his sunglasses.

"A pirate group that just entered the Grand Line scared you so much? Have you forgotten... what the word 'senior agent' actually means?"

"Of course I know!!!"

The Billionaire Elder shouted, "But what about you? Do you know what kind of people this Ender Pirates group is?"

"That captain of the Fallen Pirates, the ruthless man who dared to attack the Navy Headquarters' warships, the 'Knife Master' Shano, has a bounty of 180 million berries on his head!!!"

"Not only that!"

"The cadres under him are all incredible guys. There are many people with bounties of 70 to 80 million Baileys!"

"In total, the entire group's bounty exceeds 500 million berries!"

"How could we possibly defeat a group of monsters like this, even if we risked our lives? How could we possibly be their match!!!"

He howled hysterically.

The bounty hunters who were still frozen in place seemed to be awakened by these words. The crowd exploded and began to flee frantically.

Some people crawled into the tavern cellar, while others screamed, picked up their flintlock rifles, and ran towards the giant cactus mountains behind them.

The billionaire who was being held began to twist his body desperately, trying to break free from Mr. 5's hand.

"You bunch of losers!"

Mr.5 kicked the trembling billionaire to the ground. Two wisps of black smoke came out of his nostrils. He sneered and twisted his neck back and forth.

"No matter what, we're just a rookie pirate group that just set foot on the Grand Line! If you can't help us, get lost!"

"Hey, Valentine's Day, let's put on a show today and show these losers just how powerful Devil Fruit users are!"

"Uh……"

Miss Valentine wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a wry smile:
"Actually, well, I think a guy worth 180 million berries should be avoided. Speaking of which, isn't the bounty on Crocodile, the Shichibukai active in the nearby waters, only 81 million berries?"

"What do you know?"

Mr. 5 snorted coldly, his hands behind his back. "That Crocodile guy was invited to become a Shichibukai not long after he became famous twenty years ago. That's why his bounty has remained at that number!"

"What a bullshit swordsman Shanuo! Do you really think a newcomer can compare to that old guy?!"

"So this is ah……"

Miss Valentine suddenly realized that her partner was so confident and she suddenly became motivated. She raised her head and laughed:

"Ahahaha~, in that case, I'll stick with you till the end. You're right, this is a rare opportunity for us who have just joined the work club to make a name for ourselves!"

……

On the Ending.

Looking at the people happily gathered at the harbor and waving at them, Nami exclaimed, "Wow!" and turned around in surprise, "Brother! Look! There are so many people welcoming us over there!"

"It seems the truth about Rogue Town has spread not only to the East China Sea, but here too!" she said happily. "Everyone knows we're no longer those pirate villains!"

"Stupid Nami."

Kuina's helpless voice came from above. She closed her eyes in meditation in the open-air sword arena, with the demeanor of a master. At this moment, she shook her head slightly:

"It seems you didn't hear a word the captain said this morning. This Whiskey Peak is the den of pirate hunters. What they are best at is disguise and deception, and then they will kill you when you are least prepared."

"Eh???"

Nami's face was filled with frustration, "Why is this happening..."

"In short, be careful."

Kuina said quietly, "We're docking this time to record the magnetic force for the compass. Of course, if they really want to hunt us as pirates, we won't hesitate to fight back."

Where is it just for recording magnetic force?
There is a lot of wool to be fleeced from the Whiskey Mountain. Xia Nuo stood up from the rattan chair, looked at the Whiskey Mountain that was getting closer and closer, and squinted his eyes slightly.

If I remember correctly.

Baroque Works' "Utopia Project" has not yet been fully launched, and it is still too early for the Kingdom of Alabasta to fall into civil war.

It was not until at least two years later, after the riots had escalated, that Vivi and the Kingdom Guard Captain Ikareem learned of the existence of the Baroque Works. In order to investigate the truth behind the scenes, they transformed themselves into agents and infiltrated the company.

and so.

Don't expect to see Vivi here. She is still a princess in the capital of Alabasta.

But as for the remaining well-known agents, you can always see some of them here, but I don’t know how many of them I can meet... huh?

Xia Nuo suddenly frowned. Why did the people who had just gathered at the dock suddenly start running away in all directions after the End approached, as if they had seen a ghost?
