Chapter 29: Paper Tigers
In fact, Qin Shou ignored one thing. The matter about how much pirates pay is actually mainly determined by the Navy Headquarters' attention to pirates.
For example, Bucky and Crick, for the government, Bucky is the kind of pirate who is keen on robbing treasures and dare not easily provoke the navy. Although he is a devil fruit capable person, he is relatively low-key.
However, Crick was originally a naval soldier, but later defected and became a pirate. This had a very bad impact on the naval government. First of all, it was certain that the reputation of the navy would be damaged. Secondly, Crick's behavior was much more threatening to the naval government than Bucky. This guy often disguised his pirate group as a navy or merchant ship, taking the opportunity to relax his vigilance and attack villages and ships. This was no longer a pirate threat to the navy. Not only did it smear the navy and damage the reputation of the navy, but this many evil behaviors naturally attracted the navy to great importance.
This is also the reason why Creek's bounty was higher than Bucky and the Dragon in the 8 years since the original work Luffy went out to sea. It is now worthy of being the number one overlord of the East China Sea. At present, the best bounty in the East China Sea is naturally Crick, and the largest pirate group is also the Creek Pirate Group.
Now Qin Shou understood the reason why Johnny and Joseph were so scared when they heard that the people who were hitting the car were the people of the Creek Pirates. They also learned from them that the Creek Pirates now has nearly thirty large ships and nearly 3,000 subordinates. This force is not even better than the branches of the better naval branches. Of course, this is just saying that in terms of number of people, if they have combat power, the well-trained navy will definitely be better.
"Qin...Brother Qin, you should understand now? The Creek Pirates is really too powerful, so I...I think." Johnny didn't finish speaking because he felt that as a pirate hunter, letting these people be damaged by the reputation and face of the pirate hunter, but if he didn't let them go, he was afraid that the people from the Creek Pirates would come to him.
So between justice and fear of evil forces, Johnny and Joseph seemed very entangled.
However, when Johnny and Joseph talked about the strength of the Creek Pirates, their expressions did not change at all from beginning to end. Thirty pirate ships and 3,000 pirates were just a blink of an eye for the mad girl, and even more so for Qin Shou.
If Qin Shou is angry, even if Marinfanduo, the head of the Navy, will suffer a catastrophe! Don't let Qin Shou get angry, because people in this world will face anger from the Three Illusion Gods.
But the only thing that is thankful is that Qin Shou was not angry about the Creek Pirates, or it was unnecessary and did not take them seriously.
Qin Shou turned around and looked at the Navy Chief Cao in front of him with a smile, saying, "The Creek Pirates have developed to this point, and your Navy is actually ignoring it? It really surprised me."
The Navy Chief Cao spread his hands and said helplessly, "This is not my final say. I am just Chief Cao, and the elite troops of the Navy have hit all over the great route, so they will not place their strength in the East China Sea at all."
Qin Shou shook his head secretly, and understood the reason why the Creek Pirates could develop so well. However, the navy was also insidious. In order to save military strength, he deliberately increased Creek's bounty, so that the pirate hunter could solve him and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, when it comes to Crick, this guy is not only unlucky, but he was defeated in one week after entering the great route in the original work. In terms of strength alone, he is definitely not as good as his opponent with the Fragment of Bucky. Crick is not a devil fruit ability, but just has a little more strength and likes to show off... He is equipped with full body equipment - shields, guns, cannons, spears, swords, poison gas bullets, etc., and even a gun is hidden in his belly. It can be seen how much this person likes to disguise himself.
To put it bluntly, Creek is just a paper tiger. The Crick Pirates' impact on everyone in the East China Sea was only because of their huge momentum. Even the Navy wanted to give him a point, let alone others.
"Forget it... it's just a pirate group developed with good luck. If you want to come and cause trouble, you can just destroy it."
After thinking about this in his heart, Qin Shou stopped talking about the more than 20 people who claimed to be the Creek Pirates and sent them to the Navy prison. The more than 20 people were all small minions, without any bounty. However, Qin Shou had no intention of asking for a bounty at all, and even the bounty of the evil dragon was given to the mouse, let alone this group of people.
After handing over the bearded man who was struggling to the Navy, Qin Shou said to Johnny and Joseph beside him: "You two have helped me today. Why don't I treat you to dinner?"
Although Joseph and Johnny were still a little afraid of capturing the people of the Creek Pirates, they forgot it in just a moment. When they heard that Qin Shou was going to treat him to dinner, they even threw it away.
Soon Qin Shou, Isis, Qisarah, Johnny and Joseph came to the lively restaurant in Roger Town. However, as soon as they sat down, the two guys slapped the table and shouted: "Boss, let's have three big beers first."
"...Don't order with me, I won't drink the beer here." Qin Shou said lightly.
Qin Shou, who drank all the high-end wines from the world of food captives, did not touch the wines of this world.
"Oh~ Then come 2 big beers." Johnny changed his mouth and shouted.
Isis couldn't help laughing when she saw this, "You two are underage yet? Are you drinking so much wine, be careful of your physical dysplasia!"
Johnny and Joseph's two young boys were told by Isis, and their cheeks turned red.
"Male...there are no drinks in men~" Johnny lowered his head and said with a red face.
Qin Shou couldn't help but smile and shook his head. After the dishes were served, he ate a little. Johnny and Joseph fainted on the table after drinking two large bottles of beer... Not only was his strength bad, but his alcohol tolerance was so poor.
Now, Qin Shou can no longer find anything attractive to them except for the advantages of righteousness.
"Boss, do you have a place to stay here? Find a room for these two people, and ask someone to send them to the room by the way. I will pay the good money." In addition to the meal and accommodation money, Qin Shou also gave the boss some extra hard work and brought the drunk Johnny and Joseph to the rest area in the house.
