Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Although Pudding's personality is not as open as Uta's, there are not only funny people on the ship. Reiner, Zoro, Franky, including Nami and Robin can also give Pudding enough care.

Except for Sanji, Pudding gradually felt the warmth and tenderness from everyone else.

When she was in the vast world, she was lonely, but on this small boat, she was surrounded by overflowing love.

This feels more like a family than anywhere else.

Inside the restaurant, Brin, wearing thick oven gloves, took out the freshly baked puffs from the oven, and placed them on a plate with a smile, unable to help but sigh:

“It’s wonderful to be invited on board this ship.”

"Hehehe, is Brin going to cry because of this?"

Uta leaned over and pressed his head against Brin's face, laughing.

"I didn't! Hurry up and get the picnic blanket and spread it out!"

Brin blushed and hurriedly picked up the tablecloth and pushed it towards Uta.

After Uta took it, she picked up a plate of puffs and rushed out of the restaurant laughing as if she was escaping.

"Wuhu~Run, run, Brin is going to hit someone~"

Chapter 368 There Are Always Five of the Four Emperors

The cool sea breeze stirs up the waves, blows across the green grass carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, and the light sunlight shines comfortably on the body, bringing people incomparable comfort.

On the lawn deck of the Merry, a tablecloth was spread under the shade of a tree. Everyone sat around and leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea, talking and laughing while playing.

Robin leaned against the tree trunk and read quietly with a smile on her face. She did not mind the noise beside her, but it made her concentrate better. It seemed that such noise could bring her inner peace.

Nami sat quietly sideways with her two long white legs spread out at an angle.

Reiner lay on the lawn with his legs crossed, his head resting on Nami's round legs, and closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth brought by the sun.

Nami took a sip of black tea, put down the teacup, picked up a piece of cake and took a small bite, while casually flipping through the newspaper with her other hand.

"Huh? What is this?"

Suddenly seeing some incredible news, Nami frowned slightly with some confusion in her eyes.

Hearing her voice, Reiner couldn't help but open one eye and glance over with some curiosity.

Nami turned the newspaper over to show him and asked:

"Reiner, do you still remember him, Buggy the Clown? This guy is quite amazing now. Look at this, they are all people we know."

Nami didn't need to explain, Reiner knew the situation the moment he saw Buggy's photo.

There was a large poster published in the newspaper, which consisted of two knives crossed together to form an 'X', dividing the poster into four areas.

On the left and right were the portraits of Hawkeye Mihawk and Crocodile, below was Moriah, and directly above, the portrait that took up the largest area was—

—Bucky!!

"The Cross Guild, an organization founded by Senryodo Baki, rose to prominence overnight and is now one of the Five Emperors of the New World."

Nami said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but gather around.

The four emperors who ruled the New World for many years were overthrown one after another, but new strong men emerged like mushrooms after rain. Kaido was just defeated, and now there is a Cross Guild.

Why are there always five of the Four Emperors?

"Hey! Isn't that the one with the big red nose?! And there's Crocodile and Moriah!"

When Luffy saw Buggy, his eyes widened in shock and he shouted in disbelief:

"What's going on! How did this guy become their boss?!"

"The Navy must be mistaken. Hawkeye is not someone who would yield to others."

Zoro couldn't help but frown. Not only did the picture look like Buggy was the boss of the Cross Guild, but even the text description on the side directly stated this fact, which made him confused.

In addition to a piece of news, there were also several reward notices on the next page of the newspaper, each corresponding to a member of the Cross Union.

Among them, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea who lost their legal pirate status and were put on the bounty again, and who brought together the Cross Guild to form an organization, posed a greater threat.

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk - 35 billion berries.

Crocodile - 19 billion berries.

Gekko Moriah - 12 billion for Bailey.

Then there is the "prestige" of the "commander" of these three powerful men, the former member of the Pirate King Roger, the "great pirate" who is "on par" with Red Hair Shanks, Senryo-do-ha Buggy, whose bounty is:

——31 billion Pelés.

It turns out that the navy is the biggest fan of Buggy. Reiner couldn't help but complain inwardly. Every word in the report left him speechless.

In addition to these four people, Buggy and Crocodile each have some powerful subordinates, such as the bald guy with the Zan-Zan Fruit and the third brother.

Among them, a person with a particularly eye-catching appearance caught Reiner's attention. He had exaggerated makeup, long eyelashes, and an exaggerated expression on his face.

The other party is the former senior agent of Baroque Studio, code-named Mr. 2, the transvestite von Clay.

"This guy is actually hanging out with Crocodile again."

Reiner smiled silently.

Because Xiao Feng did not meet them two years ago, he was not captured and taken to Pushan City to cover them as in the original book.

I thought he would successfully find the island of transvestite, but Sanji didn't seem to mention meeting her on the island of transvestite.

Although the Cross Guild is composed of pirates, this organization is not like a pirate group, but more like a company.

After chatting about the Cross Guild for a while, everyone also learned that this organization had actually issued a bounty on the navy.

Colonel gets one star, major general gets three stars, lieutenant general gets five stars, and one star represents 100 million baileys.

The three most powerful admirals of the navy and the former navy hero Garp each received three crowns, representing a bounty of 30 billion berries.

The current Marshal Akainu has even reached the terrifying five crowns - a bounty of 50 billion berries!

"Akainu's bounty is even more exaggerated than Reiner's!"

Usopp exclaimed.

Originally, Reiner's 42 billion was the highest bounty in the world, followed by Red Hair Shanks' 40 billion Beli, but now a 4890 billion bounty has been offered.

"That's not the case. The Navy's bounty system is different from the Cross Guild's bounty system. But this is enough to show that guy is very powerful."

Reiner sat up and smiled in a casual tone.

The bounty rules of the Cross Guild are basically based on positions, but in fact, the strength of groups with the same rank in the navy is also uneven.

As the old saying goes, the difference between a lieutenant general and a lieutenant general is greater than the difference between a man and a pig.

Now the general is also.

There is a gap in strength between the three former admirals Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru and the current admirals Green Bull and Fujitora. Reiner has fought against them and can clearly feel this.

If we compare based on strength, 30 billion is a bit of an underestimation of Kizaru.

Soon, Luffy swept away all the afternoon tea desserts, and the coffee and black tea gradually lost their warmth and became cold. Nami took back the newspaper and continued to read it. Suddenly, her eyes were startled, and she stood up suddenly and looked towards the bow of the ship.

The newspaper fell from his hand. It contained a report about the revolutionary army's attack on the holy land. Sabo, the successor of the Float-Float Fruit, dropped from the sky with dozens of isolated islands and landed in Mary Geoise.

But Nami didn't have time to pay attention to this matter now. The wind blowing across her skin strongly warned her of the impending crisis of the Merry.

boom! boom! boom!

"oops!"

"Ah la la la! What's going on?!"

Suddenly, the calm sea became turbulent and the ship began to shake violently.

"Two o'clock tack! Take in the sails, Rainer, and turn for eleven o'clock!"

"understood!"

Reiner loudly responded to Nami's command, summoning the undead to do the work while jumping onto the second pilothouse.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and a chill penetrated into the bone marrow. In front of the Merry, a layer of white cold air spread over the entire sea, and the strong wind swept the snowflakes into dancing in it.

"Hold on tight, everyone! We're about to enter the area of ​​winter island's magnetic field radiation!"

Nami shouted hurriedly, bent down and squatted, holding the railing tightly with both hands.

Although the climate of the Grand Route is strange and unpredictable, her rich meteorological knowledge and extensive sailing experience have allowed her to summarize some rules.

Looking at the turbulent sea and the bitingly cold frosty wind, the environment on the winter island we are about to enter is probably extremely harsh.

Everyone held on tightly to the surrounding buildings and entered the sea area with strong magnetic field radiation, which meant that there were islands with corresponding climates nearby, and they would soon be able to end their sea voyage and land on the islands.

Luffy was lying on his exclusive throne, holding the sheep's head of Merry, with some anticipation in his eyes.

Soon, the sailboat ran into a blizzard. The sea water surged wildly, and huge waves hit the side of the boat, causing splashes. The water droplets hit the body, feeling cold.

Far behind the Merry, two small warships were swaying violently in the turbulent current. Watching the Merry gradually disappear in the white blizzard, the captain, steadying himself in a horse stance on the deck, shouted to the Den Den Mushi:

"Calling headquarters! We've lost track of the Straw Hat Pirates in a blizzard, and they've entered the Egghead Sea! I repeat! They're approaching Future Island!"

At the same time, at the entrance to the new world.

Gulu gulu~

A large number of bubbles emerged from the sea surface, and a black shadow gradually rose from the bottom. With a "splash", it broke through the water surface and set off huge waves.

Snapped!

The bubble, unable to bear the weight, was burst by the air, revealing inside the ship's membrane, a warship with a bottom made of a row of huge logs.

"Hahahahaha! You're finally back!"

A burly man stood at the bow with his arms outstretched, wearing a black pirate coat with his chest bare, and his thick beard tied into three short braids.

Blackbeard Teach took a deep breath of fresh air and grinned, revealing a row of large, gapping teeth.

"Even the air in the New World makes me excited. I heard Kaido was defeated. Hahahaha!"

"That guy deserved it! If he had agreed to join forces with me from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened, and we wouldn't have had to travel all the way to the front half of the doldrums."

Turning around, the hideous smile on Teach's face relaxed, and he looked down at the deck with a cold gaze.
