"What happened?" Tsuru picked up the Den Den Mushi and said with a frown.
She was in charge of the Marine Headquarters' intelligence work and was also responsible for the entire Marine intelligence network.
This Den Den Mushi was also a high-level Den Den Mushi that was responsible for contacting.
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, something bad has happened. Vice Admiral Momousagi learned that Laxus had appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago, so she went there alone."
An urgent voice came from inside the Den Den Mushi.
"What?" Tsuru's expression changed involuntarily and said, "Wasn't she chasing the ships of the Beast Pirates when she was reporting just now?"
"The ships of the Beast Pirates have also appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago!"
"What?"
Tsuru suddenly felt her head swell and rubbed it helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll contact her and have her return to the team as soon as possible. Don't cause me any trouble!"
"Thank you, Vice Admiral Tsuru!"
As the Den Den Mushi hung up, the gazes of Zephyr and the other two turned in unison and landed on Tsuru.
"Rest assured, Momousagi isn't a fool either. She'll know when to stop and won't cause trouble for Laxus joining the Marine recruit camp." Tsuru replied helplessly and hurriedly left with the Den Den Mushi.
Looking at that posture, she didn't look reassured at all.
...
On the Sabaody Archipelago, Kai had long left the Rip-off Bar.
However, after learning the information about the Devil Fruits from Shakky, he still decided to join in on the fun.
Accompanying him were Smoker and Ain, who had already changed out of their Marine Headquarters uniforms.
According to them, they wanted to follow Kai as much as possible and see more.
However, Kai clearly knew that these two guys had ulterior motives.
Smoker was planning to get special tutoring, and Ain was trying to find out what the second stage of training that Kai had formulated for Luffy was.
After all, the first stage was already an inhuman way of thinking about training. If there was a second stage, then what would it be?
What kind of things would be needed to assist? Watching Kai, who was avoiding the topic, it undoubtedly made them itch.
As for Luffy and the others, Kai had taken pity on them and given them half a day off.
"Get out of the way, don't interfere with this daddy!"
"Damn guy, daring to block my path. I'm the captain of the Iron Wolf Pirates!"
"The Iron Wolf Pirates? Isn't their captain someone with a bounty of 130 million Berries?"
The closer they got to the No. 1 auction house, the more pirates gathered together from all directions.
After all, this was the first large-scale auction held after the Celestial Dragons had been publicly executed by the Skeletal Demon a few months ago.
It was also an important means to gather popularity.
Otherwise, these auction house owners wouldn't have spent a lot of effort to find two Zoan-type Devil Fruits, the so-called finale treasures, to auction.
On this sea, it was different from the Marine Headquarters, which had a recruit training camp and could train systematically.
Pirates could only become stronger by joining large pirate groups and becoming interns.
From their seniors, they could obtain guidance on martial arts, dual-color Haki, etc.
However, the more powerful the pirate group, the higher the threshold for admission.
If they didn't have the strength themselves, it was impossible to enter a pirate group.
This put the pirates in a dilemma.
To get out of this situation, the fastest shortcut was to obtain a Devil Fruit.
In the eyes of the pirates, this was a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
"Hey, you stepped on my teacher's foot!" Smoker suddenly spoke.
Kai came back to his senses in thought.
Watching a group of pirates standing in front of him, the leader was a burly man with a purple head.
His muscles were like boulders, and he also had a heavy knife on his back that exuded a chilling light.
Especially the hideous scar that crossed his face, as his expression changed, it was twitching slowly, which made him look even more terrifying.
"You white-haired brat, daring to talk to our Captain Jackal like that?" A pirate shouted first.
As these words fell, dozens of pirates around them surrounded them one after another.
Faced with this sudden scene, the people who were passing by around them also quickly stopped to watch the show.
"Senior Smoker, do we need to call for Marine support?"
Watching this scene, the newcomer, who had come out of the recruit camp for the first time, was obviously a bit anxious.
He took out a Marine-style Den Den Mushi with his backhand.
"People from the Marine?" Jackal's expression stiffened. After staring straight at Kai and the other two for a moment,
he suddenly raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Important business comes first. Let's go!"
"Kid, don't let me run into you on the sea, otherwise I'll kill you!"
After dropping these words, Jackal took the lead and left.
Those murderous pirates also quickly followed.
It could be said that in the first half of the Grand Line, being able to have a bounty of over 100 million Berries could be called a great pirate.
Of course, being able to successfully pass through this Sabaody Archipelago, which served as a springboard, and reach the New World, that was another world.
It could be said that the Sabaody Archipelago was the graveyard where pirates were eliminated.
"Damn guys, if it wasn't for the fact that we were chasing the Vald Pirates and fighting the Skeletal Demon during this period of time, which led to the Headquarters' forces being insufficient, these pirates would have had no chance to be so arrogant." Smoker's face sank, and he said with hatred.
"Teacher, if you think it's necessary, I can contact the Marine over there..."
Right now, Laxus training methods and the powerful strength that Luffy had displayed had infinitely magnified Smoker's sense of belonging.
He was calling him teacher very smoothly.
If anyone dared to attack Kai, Smoker would definitely be the first to take action.
After all, he had suffered all kinds of hardships and humiliations in Kai's hands, and he had even taken over the toilets.
If he didn't learn anything practical, and Kai was harmed,
that was something that Smoker definitely didn't want to see.
"Hehe, there's no need. You have to learn to solve your own problems yourself." Kai chuckled dryly and looked at the figures that had entered the auction house and said, "Do you know how much the entire Jackal Pirates is wanted for?"
How much is wanted?
Smoker's expression couldn't help but stiffen.
He had just returned from Loguetown in the East Blue, this kind of remote place, so he really didn't know much about how much they were wanted.
After all, before that, the main point that Smoker had been paying attention to was the East Blue.
Where a few million Berries was alright, but a few tens of millions of Berries could probably be counted on the fingers of one hand.
"Tea...Teacher, we recruits have a course, which is to know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated, so we have read the information of the pirate groups that appear frequently within a year." Ain said quickly.
"The captain of this Jackal Pirates has a bounty of 130 million, and the other pirate crew members who have appeared have a combined bounty of 80 million. The total bounty for the entire crew is 210 million."
Speaking of this, Ain clenched the Den Den Mushi and said, "If teacher, you want to know more details, I can contact Teacher Zephyr."
