One Piece: The Ten-Tails Epic

It's over, I seem to know too much

Cardo's heart tightened, and the red-haired man was silent for a moment after hearing this, which made Cardo even more nervous.

It took a long time before the red-haired voice came from the other end of the phone, but the next words made Kaduo breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, how do you know? Forget it, it's not important. How about it, do you need my phone bug?"

Of course Cardo would ask for the red-haired help if possible, but a fool would not want it. Although the red-haired man should become his target in the end, it does not prevent him from accepting help from a Yonko.

It’s just that Kaduo had a strong feeling that something bad might happen if he agreed.

"What if it's Kaido?"

"What?" The red-haired man didn't understand what Cardo meant.

"Our target is Kaido. If I am about to be beaten to death by Kaido, will this phone bug still be useful?"

""

Shanks obviously didn't expect Cardo to be so crazy and ask such a question, so he thought about it for a while.

Well, that's really distressing. It might be more difficult for Kaido. But there is no way to think of it. "

Kaduo was speechless. He just said this to politely reject the red hair. Hearing what he said, it seemed like he could really handle it.

"Forget it. To deal with a monster like Kaido, if you don't go all out with the determination to die, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to take out the phone bug."

"Haha, it seems like that. It seems that you also know the terror of Kaido, so I won't say anything more. I wish you good luck and goodbye."

Baji

"Uh"

The phone caller suddenly hung up, and Kaduo was a little confused. Are big guys usually so resolute?

What he didn't know was that on the other end of the phone, Ben Beckman was also trashing his captain.

"I asked you if you forgot something."

Then the red-haired man lost all of the domineering look on the title page and looked at Ben Beckman with wide eyes in a dazed expression.

"What did you say"

"Don't you still want to ask him about Luffy?"

Shanks: ""Keep a dazed expression for three seconds

"Ahhhh, yes, I forgot" will turn into a frightened expression after three seconds, please understand by yourself

Not long after Cardo hung up the phone, the phone rang loudly again, leaving him confused.

"Hey red-haired uncle, why is Luffy the junior you like? I haven't heard of him. Yes, I haven't."

Baji Kaduo hung up the phone.

Of course Cardo knows who Luffy is, but that guy hasn't gone to sea yet, so he can't say, otherwise he really knows too much.

Don't think that these big guys are not well-informed when they live in the New World. The New World is a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are all kinds of dark underground organizations. As long as you are willing, you can collect most of the information on the sea.

"Haha, it really gives me a headache. That guy Luffy hasn't even gone to sea yet."

Shanks scratched the back of his head and said he had a headache, but he didn't seem to have a headache at all.

Ben Beckman had a cigar in his mouth, but there was no smile on his face.

"Yeah, Luffy has a lot of competitors. If it's any later, it might be too late."

Shanks' expression also became serious.

"Everyone else is fine. Only Cardo is favored by Mr. Kurokas. And judging from the exchange with him just now, this guy is indeed courageous, and if he is not a peaceful guy, Luffy is very dangerous."

After leaving the Hunter Association headquarters, there was one more person on Cardo's ship.

"Oh, that's amazing, Mr. Cardo. I've heard that your ship can fly, but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. And it's a bit too luxurious."

"Hahahaha, you are really discerning, Chris. Proverbs is my favorite work. It is definitely the most luxurious pirate ship in the world."

When Enel heard someone praising Proverbs, it felt like he was praising himself.

Chris is their guide to the Golden City this time. He is an intelligence hunter.

Intelligence hunter is also one of the safer professions on the sea. A powerful intelligence hunter is just a spy and thrives in this sea.

In fact, intelligence hunters only earn hard-earned money. A piece of intelligence usually only sells for 10 million Baileys at most. Moreover, intelligence becomes worthless when more people know about it. The more expensive the intelligence, the less it can be divided into shares. Sell ​​a few copies.

The amount of the task entrusted by Kado and the others this time is 10 million.

The location information of the Golden City is certainly not worth this price, but if you want to hire a senior intelligence hunter to personally take risks and serve as a guide in a dangerous new world, you need this price.

However, Cardo did not pay anything for this, and Amundsen had already waived all the expenses for their trip.

Cardo was a little strange. Although he was a Shichibukai and nominally belonged to the World Government, he actually had no right to speak. Amundsen could have been more polite, but his performance was too attentive and could even be called flattery. As a powerful force in the new world, this shouldn't be the case.

So Cardo told Drake his doubts. Drake thought about it and said:

"It should be a habit"

"How to say."

"The water in the Hunter Association is very deep. I only know some rumors that the Hunter Association's main source of income is not from fees from hunters' missions, but from the low-price purchase of the heads of pirates with bounties on them. Then hand it over to the Navy to collect the high reward.”

After saying this, Kaduo became even more confused:

"Why don't the people who are being acquired go and hand over their heads themselves?"

Then Drake just said one sentence and Cardo understood.

"Can a pirate use a pirate's head to collect a high reward?"

Seeing Cardo's look of sudden realization, Drake continued to add:

"The Hunter Association is doing this on the sidelines. The Navy and the government can definitely hold it accountable. Therefore, in order to prevent the world government from getting to the bottom of things, Amundsen invests a large amount of money in bribing government officials every year."

"So it has become Amundsen's professional habit to use money to impress people in the government."

"Yes, but this is just a rumor within the navy because the number of pirate heads turned in by the Hunter Association every year is indeed too many. As for whether the truth is true, I am not sure. The government has never admitted it."

Kado nodded thoughtfully and sighed again.

"Sure enough, there are such dirty py transactions everywhere."

There are actually very few pure black or white, most of them are gray areas where black and white meet.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in the world of pirates.

He was thinking about something when he saw Chris tiptoeing to the cabin door with his peripheral vision, as if he wanted to leave the cabin, and subconsciously said:

"Chris, close the door."
