I'm a ninja not a pirate

Off the coast of Cassia Island, on the pirate ship of the Iron Rod Pirates.

Matic, who had just evacuated from the Royal City of Cassia, was staying in his captain's room to count his gains in the past two months.

Although the common people in the Kingdom of Cassia are poor, the wealth accumulated by the family and nobles of the Kingdom of Cassia over hundreds of years is really considerable.

Looking at the gold and silver jewelry piled up in his room like a small mountain, Matic was quite satisfied. When he thought about how many kingdoms there were in the East China Sea like the Kingdom of Cassia, he became even more yearning for the future.

There are so many kingdoms and nobles in the East China Sea that continuously provide themselves with wealth. Why do they have to go to the Grand Line to find the treasure of the Pirate King?

When you plunder all these small countries in the East China Sea like this, how much wealth will you accumulate by then? Not much worse than Roger, right?

Maybe he can also become known as the "East Pirate King".

Matic was immersed in the "bright" future he fantasized about, the corners of his mouth raised crazily, and he didn't even care that his beloved mace was stolen by the hateful thief.

However, Matic was not happy for long before he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Being awakened from his sweet dream made Matic very angry. While quickly packing up his belongings, he cursed and shouted: "Damn guy, if you can't come up with any reason to avoid punishment, I will give it to you." Throw you into the sea and feed them to the sea kings!"

Matic roughly pushed open the door to the room. Before he could get angry, the pirate who knocked on the door hurriedly shouted:

"Captain, something bad has happened! A pirate ship was found on the port side!"

Matic was shocked when he heard this, but quickly calmed down.

Although the number of pirates in the East China Sea is rare, that is only in relative terms. As the hometown of the former Pirate King Roger, the East China Sea has never lacked Roger's "successors", so it is not easy to encounter a pirate group during the voyage. Normal, not worth the fuss at all.

He wanted to reprimand the men who made the fuss and fill a cup while he was there, but Matic suddenly remembered his tragic experience a year ago, so he changed his words and said, "Have you figured out which pirate group is on the other side?"

"The pirate flag is very strange. I haven't seen it before."

The pirate leader shook his head and expressed his guess: "It may be a pirate group that returned from the Grand Line. It doesn't look like a newcomer who just went to sea."

"Oh? Not a newcomer?"

Matic thought about it in his mind and said, "No matter who is on the other side, change your course immediately to avoid them."

His ship is filled with wealth plundered from the Kingdom of Cassia. There is no need to worry about supplies in a short period of time. Moreover, gold coins cannot instantly enhance one's combat effectiveness. It will take time to cash them into various powerful weapons.

No matter whether the opposite party is the garbage returned from the Grand Line or the newcomers who have just set out to sea, there is no need to confront them head-on now. As long as they wander around the East China Sea, they will encounter them sooner or later. When the time comes, they can find their way back to where they were today. alright.

Matic suffered a loss a year ago, and now he is pursuing more safety in his actions. This is also the reason why he evacuated from the Royal City of Cassia in advance.

His mace was stolen. Although he couldn't figure out why, since someone was targeting him and he didn't know the strength comparison between the enemy and us, Matic chose to play it safe and sneak away first as a courtesy!

After waving the boy away, Matic closed the door and lost interest in counting the money. He touched a fist-sized burn on his lower abdomen and muttered: "Labour and management are now galloping on the sea again. You are so special." You can't even dream of it! Ace, brat!"

Matic muttered, his thoughts going back to that rainy night a year ago.

At that time, Matic was already a famous pirate in the East China Sea, with a reward of up to nine million beli!

Although the reputation of the Iron Rod Pirates has not reached the level of Yazhi's Children's Cry, it is also not comparable to that of ordinary pirate groups.

But on a rainy night, I met a new pirate who was covered in flames!

At that time, Ace had just eaten the Shashuo Fruit, and his strength was far less than what it is now, but it was more than enough to deal with a pirate group that didn't have domineering power or demonic abilities.

Matic and the Iron Rod Pirates underestimated Ace, who was not yet famous at the time, and therefore paid a heavy price. The Iron Rod Pirates were almost expelled.

But it was precisely because of this that Matic got in touch with Enrique, who was responsible for hunting Ace at the time, and then had the opportunity to cooperate with Carlotta to open the door to a new world.

Matic now also said whether he should hate or love Ace. He had done so much harm to himself and almost lost his life, but if it hadn't been for him, he wouldn't have had the chance to know the new world now.

Just when Matic was still struggling with his complicated emotions towards Ace, the pirate who had just left returned and reappeared outside Matic's captain's room. This time, he knocked on the door more urgently. And before Matic opened the door, he shouted loudly: "The captain is bad! We are being targeted by the Shichibukai! Captain!"

"What are you yelling about? Do you really think I dare not throw you into the sea to feed the sea kings? I have tolerated you for a long time!"

Being disturbed one after another, Matic really couldn't bear it. He didn't hear clearly what his younger brother said, so he opened the door and pulled his collar to push him into the sea.

"Ship...Captain...Nichi...Shichibukai!"

The pirates struggled to get out a few key words from the angry Matic's hands.

When Matic heard the words Shichibukai, he immediately thought of Ace, whom he was talking about just now. It seemed that the World Government had invited Ace to the Shichibukai, right?

Didn't he refuse? Now he should still be Whitebeard's son in the new world, right?

But in this poor place like the East China Sea, how could other Shichibukai come?

Are the world government and navy really so afraid of Roger? A "naval hero" Lieutenant General Garp who often appears in the East China Sea is not enough, and now the Shichibukai are also allowed to come to the East China Sea to fight in the autumn wind?

"What is going on? Who is the Shichibukai here? Crocodile or Moonlight Moria?" Matic asked in panic.

In fact, no matter who came, Matic's plan was to run away. If he couldn't escape, he would just surrender with his treasure.

After all, the Shichibukai are pirates and not marines. As long as there is no deep hatred, Matic feels that things are not so bad that they are irreversible.

Compared with life, money is just a pile of scrap metal. It’s okay to grab it when it’s gone. Anyway, you have already mastered the code of wealth!
