"How much can the first bounty be?"

Two streets away, Ward stopped in a deserted alley, panting, and whispered to himself.

"I just defeated a wanted criminal with a bounty of 10 Baileys, so it must be worth that price, right?" Ward touched his chin.

"I wonder if they will include me in the reward order." He sighed, peeled off the candy wrapper naturally, and put the lollipop into his mouth.

Then he pulled out a pistol from nowhere, which he had taken with him during his escape.

This is a simple flintlock gun without too many patterns on it. It can only fire one bullet at a time, and its power and range are very limited.

This is just like the guns worn by pirates in the Middle Ages. It seems that every pirate will carry a flintlock pistol, a pirate scimitar, and the iconic pirate hat on his waist.

Some pirates also wear an eyepatch, a standard one-eyed dragon costume.

"One Piece" Gol D. Roger has the traditional image of a pirate, with a scimitar, a pistol, a pirate hat... and the iconic beard, or nose hair.

Judging from the current combat effectiveness, the pistol is still lethal enough, and carrying it with you is also a deterrent to others.

At the same time...this is also the romance of pirates.

Ward smiled slightly, tied the holster he snatched from the kidnapper around his waist, and put the gun around his waist without any attempt to hide it.

If you want to survive in this kind of world, you still have to have some tricks. Ward was not able to stay in the navy because of his previous record of stealing.

In that short moment he had already stolen the pistol, the holster, some change and... lollipops.

"The navy has no intention of chasing us. I don't know if we will be rewarded as expected." Ward adjusted his holster and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up.

"Strike while the iron is hot, go call the police and arrest yourself now."

……

Baystown Naval Branch Base.

"Sir Puri, recently...police stations in various places have been receiving anonymous reports and reports of crimes recently." A young navy man saluted at the door and handed the document to Puri after receiving permission.

Puri frowned and looked at the photo in his hand, the young man holding a lollipop and gesturing "yeah" with one hand.

After comparing the obtained documents, the photo above is the same as that of the young man who wanted to kidnap his daughter Lal yesterday!

These tips and reports were all anonymous, reporting that Rhyl Ward had burglarized my house and robbed me of many important belongings.

He also raped women, deceived and swindled, robbed children... he did all kinds of evil!

There was also a lot of "evidence" inside, including a shabby room that had been turned over... and the girl with messy hair pulling each other... and snatching away the child's lollipop...

Finally, the letter also included a sentence:

"Put a reward on me if you can."

"What's going on?" Puri took a deep breath and smelled a hint of mischief.

"According to our investigation... the whistleblower seems to be Riel Ward himself." The young navy scratched his head.

"How dare you provoke the navy like this." Puri slammed the table.

The marine continued to explain:

"Riel Ward, both of his parents are dead. He currently lives alone. He trained in the branch for a period of time before and has a history of theft. He now lives near the Biangang pier. Do you need..."

"Retired navy? I don't know what he wants to do. Judging from the fact that he rescued Lal two days ago, there should be no ill intentions, but... why does he want to be rewarded?"

"It's not clear at the moment, sir, how to deal with these reports?" the marine continued to ask.

"You still have to give him a little punishment." Puri chuckled and looked at the last sentence.

"Put a reward on me if you can."

"As he wishes, give him a reward order. Who knows what the young man is thinking about now, he actually wants his name to appear on the reward order."

"Does a new bounty order need to be issued?" The young navy felt that this matter did not reach that level.

"Of course, isn't this what he wants to see? Just treat it as fulfilling his wish." The corners of Puri's mouth raised slightly.

"Then the bounty..."

"100 Baileys, I remember the bounty for pets in the Straw Hat Pirates is only 50 Baileys."

"That's twice as much as him."

"1...100 Baileys." The corner of the young navy's mouth twitched slightly. If he printed a few more wanted notices, the branch would lose money.

Not to mention those bounty hunters, 100 Baileys can't arouse people's desire at all.

As expected of Chief Puri, he was trying to hit the opponent psychologically.

……

Edge Harbor Pier.

Ward clenched his hands and walked around the small living room, looking a little anxious.

This feeling is like waiting for news about a girl you have a crush on, and what Ward is waiting for is the first reward order in his life.

"It's been so long and there's still no new reward order issued?"

Ward paced back and forth, then went out and walked towards the dock bar. It was a place where bounty hunters and pirates often hung out. If there was a reward order, people would be informed of it immediately.

When the clouds on the horizon gradually turned into firelight, Ward appeared at the dock. He was wearing a cheap shirt, because where he was going, he might be stained with blood at some point.

In the "Knife Bar", people seemed to be cheering for the "hero" and sighing at the same time.

Ward noticed the pedestrians coming and going. Some of them were tall and burly, with traces of the sea breeze on their bodies. Some of them wore pirate hats, and the pistols on their waists were completely exposed.

Entering the "Knife Bar", you are greeted by a burst of hot air mixed with cheap drinks and the stench of sweat.

There is a boxing ring in the center, where two strong men fight, punching to the flesh, and every punch will arouse people's shouts.

Ward has been hanging out in the dock area almost since he was a child. He often comes back to the "Knife Bar". The atmosphere here is bold and frank, and there is no intrigue. If you want to fight, just come and no one will spoil anyone.

"That guy Cyric, the bounty has been increased to 2000 million Baileys." Someone was discussing something at the counter.

"Calling himself the new overlord of the East China Sea? How dare he."

……

"Ward? I haven't seen you here for a long time." One of the middle-aged men, a tall man with a mature and charming beard, smiled at Ward.

"Fangli, are there any new reward orders recently?" Ward came to the counter and asked in a low voice.

But at this time, the bar suddenly became quiet, and Ward was stunned for a moment. Then, bursts of laughter came from the bar.

what happened?

"Of course, I didn't expect you to appear on the reward order." Fangeli laughed, took out a reward order from the counter and slapped it on the table.

Then he saw a wooden sculpture in front of him. The mouth of the wooden sculpture gradually opened wide, its tongue protruded, and its face was completely dark.

The bar was boiling again, and the daily joking taunts sounded:

"Hahaha, Ward... Is this what you said about doing something big, robbing children of their lollipops?"

……

"100 Baileys, I'm too lazy to take action. Ward, I feel like it's a loss if I catch you to collect the reward."

……

"I remember that there seemed to be someone with a lower bounty than you, and it was... the pet of the Straw Hat Pirates, hahaha..."

……

"1...100?" It took about a few minutes before Ward came back to his senses.

I just experienced an explosion of thoughts in my heart, but now I feel calm that I haven't seen for a long time.

"100 Bailey?"

Ward swallowed, 100 Baileys... I, am I only worth a few dollars?

The reward order showed a photo of him holding a lollipop, and there was even a note below:

"The Lollipop Killer."

Black history, pure black history!

Ward immediately put away the reward order, crumpled it into a ball, then shook his head, took a deep breath, and quickly calmed down.

He doesn't care about the first bounty, he only cares about the "novice gift pack"!

At this time, a projection flashed in front of Ward's eyes:

[Congratulations, you have received your first bounty in your life. 】

【100 Baileys】

[Unlock the "Newbie Gift Pack", an opportunity to recruit partners, and a random prop selection. 】

Ward rubbed his hands and couldn't wait to recruit his first partner and the random props given away.

Just then, the cry of seagulls sounded from the sky, and the sound of newspapers flying could be heard.

boom!

Not long after, there was a tremor on the ground, and artillery shells exploded in the distance.

Everyone in the "Sharp Knife Bar" looked solemn, looking at the newspapers in their hands, looking at the burning clouds in the sky and the gradually spreading smoke.

Everyone around them lit up a cigarette and took a long puff.

call……

Ward put away his smile, exhaled, took out a lollipop from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and slowly put it into his mouth.

He was incompatible with the people around him, and the same thing was that his heart was also inexplicably heavy.

"finished?"

"On top of the war."
