Chapter 741 The Three Brothers

[Chapter Header Serialization Deck 8 from the World "Brujoia Kingdom"]
[In a magic supply store, George, a former wandering painter with disheveled hair, had a sleepy look on his face, but when he opened the latest newspaper, his eyeballs almost fell out of shock.Tilda, the proprietress of the former hypnotist, smiled and brushed the shelves with a feather duster. On the wall was a huge reward order for the dreamer Marianne. The girl tilted her head, looked at the camera innocently, and frozen this photo... ...]——
"More than ten years ago, when Lynch and I first came here..."

Chambord Park, inside the top of the Bubble Ferris Wheel, sits Robin and Hancock side by side.Sang Da knelt on the chair and looked into the distance curiously.

In just a few days after the top war, the once bustling Chambords Islands looked deserted and dilapidated.

This is not to say that all the people and things on the island have been harmed by the unscrupulous pirates.

The main reason is that those who dare to do business on this island have a keen sense of smell. Seeing that the wind direction is not right, a large number of people flee directly by boat, or the shop doors are closed tightly, and security is strengthened, so they can't stay.

As for the tourists, there were indeed many casualties during this period, but many people also escaped. It is estimated that for a long time, only pirates would dare to visit this archipelago.

Before Lynch took action to suppress it, the island was truly chaotic.

I heard that there was also a major incident in which the Tianlong people were under the black hands.

However, at this critical moment, everyone knows that the navy will never have enough generals to take care of the injured Tianlongren, so Sap, Black Hand, and Cold Gun all greeted Tianlongren.

The domineering Tianlong people in the past hid back to Marie Gioia in desperation. It is estimated that they would not dare to set foot on the Chambord Islands until the situation in the navy stabilized and the general's combat power was replenished.

Chambord Park, once the busiest and busiest, now looks deserted.Thanks to Robin and Hancock being able to scan their faces, the park manager did not dare to neglect, and personally activated the facilities in the amusement park for them alone, allowing them to play as they wish.

In fact, the park manager was ecstatic in his heart, and kept taking photos of Robin and the others with a phone bug, and decided to keep them forever, and even chose the most beautiful one to enlarge and print it out, and set up a sign at the door.With the signboards of the Devil's Son and the Pirate Empress, and even the Ripple Messenger standing behind them, which short-sighted pirate would dare to harass his park?

On the slowly rotating Ferris wheel, Robin held Hancock's arm and softly told about the events of the year.

Suddenly, Sang Da next to him screamed, "It's Master Tulip!"

Hancock and Robin were a little surprised. They poked their heads out of the Ferris wheel bubble, and they saw a tall woman with long blond hair and a fluttering floral skirt standing under the Ferris wheel, waving a newspaper towards them. It is tulip.

The park manager saw that she really knew the Devil's Son and the Pirate Empress, and his attitude was more polite.

The three girls didn't wait for the ferris wheel to slowly turn to the bottom, but jumped out of the bubble directly. Robin spread out his petal wings on his back, and Sanda also flapped a pair of snake wings on his back, and landed quietly with his sister, the princess.

"Master Tulip!" Sanda greeted obediently.

"Why are you here?" Hancock walked towards Tulip.

"Can't I come and see my cute baby?" Tulip looked at Hancock with a smile.

"Hmph!" Hancock sneered, "You mean your precious son? Don't worry, he's still alive."

With Luffy's current strength, he plunged headlong into the top battlefield, and became the focus of attention of the audience without any scruples... If there were not so many partners around him to help each other, there is a high probability that he would die directly in Marlin Vanduo.

Tulip pinched Hancock's smooth and elastic face, this girl is not forgiving.

Looking at Robin who smiled and said nothing, Tulip smiled and said, "Do you still hate yourself?"

Robin blushed suddenly.

"What are you talking about?" Hancock rubbed his face suspiciously, looked at Tulip, then at Robin, "What do you hate yourself for?"

Sanda was also puzzled.

Robin took two steps forward and hugged Tulip, gnashed her teeth in her ear and said in embarrassment: "Don't say it..."

"Okay, okay, don't say, don't say." Tulip smiled and stroked Robin's back.

"Why don't you say anything?" Hancock was even more puzzled, he held Robin and asked in disbelief, "You still have something to hide from me—"

But when Robin looked up, her face was blushing, and Hancock, who had never seen her like this, immediately froze.

"Only this matter, no!" Robin bit his lip.

Seeing the shocked and confused expression of the park manager on the side, Sang Da hurriedly pulled her sister and princess out of the park.

……

On the way, Tulip brought the newspaper to Hancock and Robin, and said with a smile, "There is your latest reward order."

"At such a time, the navy still has the energy to issue a new reward order?" Sang Da was very curious.

Tulip said: "It is precisely at this time that the navy will not show weakness, and must remain strong. Even if it is just for show."

Hancock sneered, and opened the newspaper casually as he walked.

She didn't care much about the content of the news, how many people died in the Whitebeard Pirates, and how many people died in the Navy, in her eyes, it was no different from a bunch of snakes, insects, and ants, just a bunch of numbers.Only the words and photos about Lynch and Robin, she took a second look...

"50 billion Baileys?!" Sanda exclaimed, holding Lynch's new reward order.

Hancock took a look, quite dissatisfied, "Why is it lower than Whitebeard? Is the navy blind?"

Whitebeard's bounty is 50 billion 4600 million.

Lynch's 50 billion, although there is only a difference of more than 4000 million, or precisely because the difference is only more than 4000 million, which makes Hancock very unhappy.

"Whitebeard is dead." Tulip walked beside, "Roger, the only one with a higher bounty than Whitebeard, is also dead."

"That means..." Robin said to himself.

Sang Da opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise, "Lynch is the person who has the highest bounty among the living people?"

Tulip smiled and said, "It's almost like this."

Robin frowned suddenly, rubbed his chin and pondered.

Hancock and Sanda opened other reward orders, and soon discovered the latest reward order of Robin and Hancock.

"Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock, bounty: 14 billion!
"Son of the Devil" Nicole Robin, bounty: 13 billion!
Even Sang Da's own bounty, although he was basically on standby at high altitude during the top battle, and only showed his face at the end, it also increased a little.From the original 5000 million, it has risen to [-] million Baileys.

Although the increase was not much, Sang Da looked very happy. The navy is really stubborn.

Hancock glanced at it twice, and became even more disdainful, "It's only increased by a few hundred million, who do you look down on?"

"It's already amazing. My two precious daughters are already big names." Tulip smiled and hugged Hancock and Robin from left to right. Not many people either."

Who cares!Hancock rolled his eyes almost to the sky, "Who is your daughter, don't be blind."

Hancock was coaxed by Tulip since she was a child, so she naturally didn't care about her temper, and still smiled.Robin couldn't help laughing, and touched Tulip's arm with one hand, and the palm of Sang Da who seemed to be neglected by the other hand, and suddenly asked, "Is Lynch the highest reward?" She looked at Tulip, "What about Drago? His bounty shouldn't be very low..."

"Well, it's really not low, but..."

As Tulip spoke, she couldn't help smiling, and the four of them went deep into the Chambord Islands and drifted away.

……

"You only have a bounty of 15 billion?"

In the dilapidated bar, Lynch turned the golden iron rod in his hand, and couldn't help being very surprised when he heard what Dorag said.

I thought you were 50 billion too!

Dorag heard the words, smiled, raised his glass and took a sip, and asked: "I live in the shadows most of the time, and I haven't publicly done a big event like yours this time, so how can there be too exaggerated rewards?" Where is gold?"

"Dorag, you know what I mean." Lynch said, "Revolutionary brother, you are digging the roots of their world government, and you only have a bounty of 15 billion?"

Sauron, who was flipping through the newspaper and the latest bunch of reward orders, also raised his head and said with a smile: "The newspaper clearly says that you are the world's most vicious criminal."

"This is about what the navy uses to set up the reward amount." Drago gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and said to himself, "Although many people say that the reward amount is not the same as that of pirates. It has nothing to do with your personal strength, but is this the case? Most of the time, the level of bounty offered does represent whether a pirate is strong or weak..."

Sauron frowned and thought about it, but Lynch grabbed the golden iron rod and tapped it lightly on his shoulder, suddenly paused, and said, "I understand, it's 'guide'."

Drago glanced at Lynch unexpectedly, and said with a smile, "That's almost what it means."

"The navy, or the world government, intentionally gave the world such a hint..." Lynch said to himself, "The stronger the pirate's combat effectiveness, the higher the bounty. And the more pirates have subordinates with high bounties, Individual rewards will also rise, representing the overall combat capability."

"And me?" Drago smiled.

"You are not a pirate in the traditional sense." Lynch pointed out, "If you are given a high bounty that does not conform to 'common sense', what kind of signal will it send? Do many pushy pirates also have to learn? Is it okay? Or, will it give people the feeling that the world government is actually more afraid of your revolutionary power than the pirates who are everywhere?"

Lynch shook his head and said: "Although the world government has given you the title of the world's most ferocious criminal, in the bounty system, it still puts you in the regular pirate system to evaluate you. The attitude of treating you, the revolutionary army, as a real opponent."

"Probably so." Drago smiled and drank, "Actually, Tulip was also very unhappy after being offered a reward. He once persuaded me that we also run a newspaper. We also come to offer rewards to the navy and comment on the pirates in the world. power to build our system."

"Oh? Isn't this very interesting?" Lynch was quite interested.

"I didn't agree." Drago shook his head, looking out of the broken window, "The tide of the times is coming, and the storm is coming! There is no time for that."

Lynch nodded.

Sauron didn't understand their maneuvers, and continued to open the reward order in his hand.

"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Sauron, bounty: 4 million!

"Straw Hat Boy" Monkey D. Luffy, bounty: 5 million!

"Broken Wing Bird" Marco, bounty: 12 billion!

"Fire Fist" Porter Carter D. Ace, bounty: 10 billion 1 million!

……

Sauron couldn't help feeling overwhelmed by looking at these bounty figures that seemed far out of reach in the past.

"Know yourself, know the world!"

"Become stronger! Try to surpass me! - Roronoa!!!"

Hawkeye's voice echoed in his ears that day, as if it became clearer.

The latter sentence gradually disappeared, and Sauron repeatedly savored the previous sentence "Know yourself, know this world".

He pressed his hands on the three knives at his waist, and he could tell which knife was which by the touch of his fingertips without looking.

Three generations of demon swords and ghosts, Liang Kuai Dao Xue Zou, Da Kuai Dao and Dao Yiwen... The eyes of the swordsmen of the Three Swords Style are burning with fighting spirit.

Over there, Lynch and Drago looked at the door of the dilapidated bar. Tulip came with Robin, Hancock, and Sander.

"It seems that you know." Robin waved his latest reward order to Lynch.

"Hey, just for fun." Lynch said with a smile, "It looks more festive."

The bounty amount is so scary, where is the joy?Sang Da was speechless, the best bounty in the world!

Hancock sat down next to Lynch and took a sip from his bottle.

"..."

Lynch put his arms around her shoulders, put his hands around one side of her cheek and touched it.

Hancock was forced to pouted obediently, frowned and stared at him, "What are you doing?"

Lynch smiled, pinched her, turned back to Drago and said: "—and in this sea, if you want to become stronger quickly and get a higher bounty worth, there is a shortcut, that is to become a devil fruit ability By."

All eyes were on him.

"In this way, many things will be easier to handle..." Lynch said to himself, "It's for the world government, for her."

Drago looked at Lynch sharply, "There are rumors that the final cause of Whitebeard's death is bizarre, and at the end, he left a word to the world, what is it specifically?"

"What you asked is actually the same thing."

Lynch pulled the dissatisfied Hancock up, and greeted Robin and Zoro to leave this shabby bar together, "Let's go, Luffy and Ace, they should all be awake. They should all have similar questions, let's go together Explain it."

～～～～～～～～～～～
"Nami, your bounty has increased to 3 million Berries?!"

"Even Chopper has 1 million Berries?!"

Luffy woke up, the blanket slipped off his body, and he watched Usopp yelling while holding a newspaper on the grass.

Chopper by the side didn't know whether to twist his body shyly or shyly, while Usopp quickly knelt down on the ground in frustration, weeping silently: "Is it because my transparent battle was too successful? It was completely unnoticed, and the bounty was only a symbolic increase of [-] Berries..."

"It's doubled!" Chopper comforted.

"From [-] Baileys to [-] Baileys, this kind of doubling is unnecessary!" Usopp yelled with tears in his eyes.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Luffy passing by with bandages on his body, and Usopp couldn't help holding up the reward order and shouting happily: "Luffy! Your bounty has increased a lot!"

"Ah? Oh, I see." Luffy asked, "Usopp, Chopper, have you seen Ace?"

Nami and Brook came, pointing to the distance and said: "It should be in the woods on the other side of the hill. They just disposed of the remains of Whitebeard and their companions."

"I'll go and have a look." Luffy ran over there as soon as he heard it.

"This guy is so quiet..." Usopp touched his chin in unison with Chopper, looking at the back of Luffy who ran away, thinking, "Could it be that Chopper has a problem with the quality of your fairy beans? Broke his head off?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's Xiandou—" Chopper jumped up and punched Usopp, "How is that possible!"

"Hee hee..." Mei Li, who was sitting on Nami's shoulder, covered her mouth and snickered.

"Luffy! You're okay!" Nami shouted from a distance, and over there, Luffy turned around and grinned, giving a thumbs up.

Nami smiled helplessly, "What a worrying captain..."

……

When Luffy found Ace, he saw him kneeling and sitting there, lifeless as if dead.

The remaining captains of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered around, leaving a space for Ace.Seeing Luffy approaching, someone wanted to stop him and not let him disturb Ace—Marco reached out to stop him, and nodded to Luffy, "Go. He was really shocked when he woke up and knew that his father died..."

"Ace..." Luffy murmured, and walked step by step in front of Ace, who was kneeling in the open space, letting the sun be exposed to the sun. He was startled suddenly, and Ace's face in front of him was full of tears, crying wordlessly. .

As if his soul had been sucked out, Ace was expressionless, but tears kept streaming down his face.

"It's me, Ace!" Luffy turned to sit in front of Ace, but he had never seen his brother in such a fragile state, and was a little at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to say. "you……"

Ace was still in a daze, and Luffy couldn't see it. After meditating with his brain circuit, he stood up, rubbed his fists, and punched Ace hard in the face.

boom!
Ace was punched dry, and he fell several times before he stopped.

Many people in the surrounding white beard remnants were startled, and couldn't help but rushed over, and were stopped by Marco, Vista and other captains.

"Don't look like this anymore! This doesn't look like Ace at all!"

Luffy clenched his fists and said loudly, "My brother Ace is a man who will never give up on his companions and won't make people worry!"

He pointed to the pirates around who wanted to protect Ace's Whitebeard remnants, "Don't you still have them?!"

Seeing the words of the Straw Hat Boy, Bista heard that many brothers around him were very touched, and some even wiped their tears.It is true that everyone has been hit one after another recently, and because of the sacrifice of the father, they are a little depressed and sensitive.

"Luffy……"

The corner of Ace's mouth was bleeding, and half of his face was almost swollen. He sat up propped on the ground, and suddenly heard a chuckle from behind him: "You actually let this kid Lu Fei educate you, Ace, as a big brother, it's a bit embarrassing!"

This voice—? !

Ace turned his head abruptly, just in time to hear Luffy shout in surprise: "Sabo?!"

Sure enough, the one who came from not far behind Ace was a young man with short blond hair, Sabo, who was wearing a high hat and goggles, and still holding a broken water pipe as a weapon.

"Ace, I'm sorry..."

Sabo came step by step, leaned over and stretched out his hand to Ace, smiling with tears in his eyes, "I'm late."

"..."

With half of his face swollen, tears stained his face from crying, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Ace lowered his head and murmured, "No more..."

Slap, he held Sabo's outstretched palm and was dragged to stand up. Behind him, Luffy shouted excitedly: "Sabo!!!"

Ace looked back, and that kid Luffy rushed over with his arms outstretched, no, it should be said that he hit him.

"Hey, what are you doing, Luffy! I'm still hurt!"

boom!
