Chapter 101 The Iron-Bone Pirates Destroyed
The amount of bounty is a very interesting thing in this world.
Although the amount does not necessarily represent true strength, it represents to a certain extent the ferocity and danger of the pirates. The mutual comparison between pirates is almost done based on the amount of rewards, so generally, pirates are often complacent about their bounty increase.
Pirates with low bounty usually feel awe in front of pirates with high bounty, and pirates with high bounty will also feel superior, which can be regarded as a class division among pirates.
It is precisely because of this interesting phenomenon that Yian actually wants to know what level he could reach if he was offered a reward.
After hearing Ian's inquiry, Tina sat down on the deck with her sunglasses, and then said slowly: "Oh? Do you want to be offered a reward too?"
"Isn't this curiosity?" Yian said with a smile: "Beautiful girl, just help me calculate it!"
"Put your word!" Tina took a sip of cigarette and said with a cold face: "Little brother, I am much older than you. Even if you want to call me, you should call me sister!"
After saying that, she also said seriously: "From the pirates you captured in the East China Sea, your bounty is at least higher than 20 million Baileys, but since you have not posed any threats, it is difficult to assess your level of danger at this point, so I can only say that if you are offered a reward, the current bounty should not exceed 40 million!"
"So little!" Yian was a little disappointed.
Compared with Ace's 90 million, it is more than twice as bad as that of Ace. Sure enough, those with natural devil fruit abilities are more valued.
In fact, Yian was also thinking a little bit. Tina didn't know much about Yian's strength. The two had only fought once before, just the time when Lan Jiao and the sword energy collided. However, this kind of fight made Tina raise Yian's bounty by 20 million in her heart, which shows that she still attaches great importance to Yian.
And there were some things that Tina didn't say. When she contacted the Navy headquarters to check Ian's information, she naturally learned about Smog's evaluation report on Ian. Smog's words "not respecting authority" reminded Tina a lot. It was also based on this consideration for letting Ian take the boat. In Tina's opinion, there is no need to force him to the road of pirates, and the Navy does not need to set up more opponents for itself.
So she tried to talk less about Yian's bounty judgment. She did not want Yian to grow ambitions because of the estimated bounty increase.
Ian didn't know about this psychological activity. Just as he was about to let go of this matter, chat with Tina, and learn about the situation in Shambodian Island, a sudden shout came from the lookout hand on the mast of the warship.
"Col. Tina! There is something ahead!"
Dana stood up and asked, "What's the situation? Is it a pirate?"
"No...it doesn't look like it's not!" The lookout hand held the telescope and observed it, "It looks like it was a shipwreck accident!"
Tina came to the bow of the ship in confusion, and Yian and a group of naval soldiers followed. As the warship continued to advance, the situation mentioned by the lookout hand gradually appeared in front of everyone.
The first thing to be affected was a corpse floating with the sea water!
The body was still lying on a broken boat board, but there was a long wound on his back, which had been soaked in sea water.
"It's a pirate!" When Tina saw the tattoo on the corpse's arm, she was shocked and said, "And it's a member of the Iron Bone Pirates!"
This time, Tina was ordered to come out to hunt down the Iron Bones Pirates. Although the encirclement failed, she remembered the Iron Bones Pirates' logo firmly, so she recognized it at a glance.
The naval soldiers on the ship were also very surprised. They never expected that the Iron Bone Pirates that had been pursuing would suddenly appear here.
The warship continued to move forward, and more and more corpses appeared, and without exception, they were all members of the Iron Bone Pirates. When they arrived at the scene of the incident, everyone saw a broken ship. The bottom of the ship was fine, so it could float on the sea, but the entire hull seemed to be blown away by a violent explosion and disappeared completely.
The people from the Iron Bone Pirates just landed and spread around them, slowly drifting with the sea water.
"Investigate now!" Tina immediately directed: "See if there are survivors. If there are survivors, save them and ask them, and see what happened! In addition, look for Iron Bones Ewing to see if he is here!"
The navy soldiers immediately moved, put down their boats and rowed forward.
Tina turned around and asked Yian, "Isn't this done by your friend Ace?"
Yian shook his head and said, "It's unlikely! Let's not talk about whether he was on the same route as us after he left. Even if it was true, he wouldn't have done such a cruel thing."
Almost all members of the Iron Bone Pirates appearing here are dead bodies, and most of them are mainly knife wounds. This cannot be done by Ace.
As the navy soldiers investigated, more and more strange situations occurred. Among the bodies they salvaged, there were several bodies that looked like children!
However, the strange place is here. Although it looks like a child, there are tattoos of the Iron Bone Pirates on these corpses!
Just as Teena and Ian looked at the corpses in confusion and imagined what was going on, the naval soldiers finally reported that they had found the corpse of Iron Bones!
The appearance of the Iron Bone Ewing's corpse means that the Iron Bone Pirates was really wiped out. Tina carefully examined Ewing's injuries, and Yian also endured the disgust and watched, because the corpse looked a little scary. A big hole was opened in his chest, as if he was pressed against his chest and fired a mortar.
"How is this possible? Immortal is so confused!" Immortal frowns and said, "Iron Bone Ewing is a bone bone fruit capable person. He can freely control the bones of his body and expose the bones to the outside to form a layer of bone armor, which is comparable to steel. Not to mention the shells of a mortar, even the cannon of a warship can not hurt him much. How could a mortar that was shot close to fire through his chest?"
There are too many suspicions. The fatal wound of Iron Bones gives people the feeling that he has no defense at all and is directly penetrated by someone.
Ace's suspicion was indeed ruled out at this time, but the question arises, who was the person who attacked the Iron Bone Pirates?
Yian was also thinking deeply that the Iron Bone Pirates should be very cunning. Tina took her troops to encircle and suppress the Maze Island, but she did not meet them at all. Instead, she appeared at a very long distance. It can be seen that the so-called activity near the Vortex Island must be fake news released by the Iron Bone Pirates, but human calculations are not as good as the God. Although Tina escaped Tina's encirclement, she unfortunately encountered another enemy here, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.
But if we change the direction of thinking, the Iron Bone Pirates did not encounter an enemy accidentally, but were deliberately hunted down?
It’s not that Yian thinks so. The battle between pirates is usually not like this. Usually, it is mainly about robbing the opponent’s money, then killing the opponent’s main cadres, and then recruiting the opponent’s subordinates to strengthen themselves. Therefore, the tragic situation of the Iron Bone Pirates can only show that the Iron Bone Pirates have deep hatred and their enemies.
To chase the Iron Bone Pirates, it means that it requires quite detailed information and even comparable to the navy. After all, even Tina, the colonel of the headquarters, was confused.
However, what pirates have intelligence capabilities comparable to the navy? It’s hard to say, maybe there are, but pirates with such intelligence capabilities rarely appear in the first half of the great route, right?
Dana is probably similar to what I'm thinking of, so she feels very confused.
At this moment, a naval soldier suddenly ran over and said excitedly: "Col. Tina, finally found the clue! Look, we found this!"
The navy soldier was holding a ragged black cloth scarf. While shaking open the door and showing it to everyone, he said, "This is what we found in the hands of a member of the Iron Bone Pirates. It seems that he had pulled it off his opponent's clothes before he was killed!"
Both Teena and Ian looked up and saw that after the black cloth scarf was unfolded, there was a pattern on it, which looked like a skull was pierced by a sharp sword.
This looks a bit like the pirate flag of a certain pirate group, but if you understand it according to the meaning of the pattern, it is a bit wrong. This seems to mean killing the pirate!
After looking at the pattern for a long time, Tina came to the same conclusion as Yian, feeling that it didn't seem like the sign of a certain pirate group. Finally, she thought about it and stood up and said, "Tianna must report this matter to our headquarters! You continue to search the scene!"
"Yes!" The navy soldiers stood attentively and started working again.
Tina returned to the cabin, Yian looked around and found that many naval soldiers were busy at this time, and no one paid attention to her, so she couldn't help but turn her eyes and sneak into the cabin quietly.
Chapter completed!
