Somewhere in the North Sea.
"Another pirate who was scared back from the Grand Line by the Roger Pirates. These guys, they're not even worthy of being called pirates! And Boss, who exactly is this Roger you keep mentioning? I'm really curious," Gangplank complained to Grimm, recently he kept hearing Grimm mention Roger, he was very curious.
"Roger? That man is a bit like you, using a scimitar and a pistol as weapons. However, he's better at using the scimitar. When the newspaper comes next time, you'll be able to see his photo. He's more handsome than you," Grimm explained.
Dieterla, a big pirate with a bounty of 66 million Berries, was so scared that he hugged his head and shrank into the corner of the pirate ship. Under the night, the two figures in front of him made him feel a bloodthirsty aura even more terrifying than Roger.
"Spare me, you don't understand the terror of Roger at all, that's why you'd say such a thing! That's right, I can believe in the Holy Light you mentioned, please spare me, Lord Grimm!" Dieterla shouted loudly.
Were all people with the surname Grimm so terrifying? This was the second time in his life that he had felt despair, and each time it was brought to him by someone named Grimm.
He vowed that as long as he was alive, he never wanted to see anyone named Grimm again. Add in someone named Gangplank, and it was just too terrifying.
"Remember, don't hit the head," Grimm ignored Dieterla completely.
"Okay, Boss, I promise to only leave the head!" Gangplank turned his head and smiled.
Bang!
A pool of blood flowed out from under Dieterla's neck. Indeed, now only the head was left.
Grimm and the others were advancing towards the Grand Line at a very slow speed.
Grimm didn't rush to the Grand Line. He spent most of his time lying in a chair, unless there was an island to go ashore for a few drinks. He would also get up and move around when he encountered pirate crews, but most of the time, Gangplank took care of it.
In a month, Grimm encountered no less than ten pirate crews, and even changed ships several times.
After several battles, Grimm's attributes became:
World of Warcraft Paladin Power: 52%
Apostle Level: 51 (11% Experience)
Weapon, Ashbringer: 31.5%
Haste (Affects All Speed): 113%
These attributes were all obtained through battles and achievements. Grimm didn't use any of the Holy Light Points from those battles.
Holy Light Points Remaining: 36 points
Skill Points Remaining: 15 points
"So stingy, just this little after a dozen battles. I don't know when I'll have to wait to collect 5000 Holy Light Points to recruit a follower," Grimm shook his head. "Next time I recruit, I must recruit a beauty!"
There was nothing fun about being with this bastard. It was better to be in a daze by himself, or chat with the system.
This guy, on the other hand, was good at entertaining himself. His mouth never stopped all day, talking non-stop, annoying Grimm to the point where he had the urge to decompose him at any time.
But this guy wasn't without his advantages. Because he liked money, he calculated every income and expenditure very clearly. And this guy didn't like paper "Berries."
All the paper Berries were exchanged for gold and silver coins by him. Now there were five boxes of silver coins and three boxes of gold coins in the cabin.
As for how much money it was in total, Grimm didn't know, and he didn't need to know. It was definitely right to leave money matters to Gangplank.
After the last time he painfully lost the 50 million Berry bounty, Gangplank had also developed a habit of collecting wanted posters. He had collected almost all the wanted posters from the North Sea.
In addition, since they robbed the 100-meter-long pirate ship they were currently on, Gangplank didn't know where he got dozens of orange trees and started planting them on the deck, allowing Grimm to eat delicious oranges at any time.
Lying on the deck chair, Grimm peeled open an orange, "Like oranges and gold coins, are all navigators like this?"
...
Another week later.
Navy Headquarters: Marineford.
After Kuzan handed a wanted poster to Navy Headquarters Admiral Sengoku, he crossed his hands behind his head. "He took care of another one, but this time he didn't go to collect the bounty, because the head was blown off. There seemed to have been a relatively fierce battle. The North Sea Navy found it."
The Navy was now paying close attention to Grimm's movements. Wherever Tirion D. Grimm passed, someone would immediately dispatch the Navy to retrace the route he had taken. Of course, there were also times when they would lose track of him.
This time, the wanted poster was for Peasley Royer, a big pirate with a bounty of 73 million Berries, the user of the Logia-type Mud-Mud Fruit.
His body was completely shattered, and only his chin was left on his head. If it weren't for the nameplate in the blood, they wouldn't have been able to recognize who it was.
"Was it a hard-fought victory or an overwhelming advantage?" Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked after thinking for a while.
"That's not clear. None of the pirates were complete corpses. I suspect Grimm didn't do it himself, but his companion did it!" After saying that, Kuzan held up a photo, which was a side profile of Gangplank.
It was provided by the Rocket Pirates' survivors who were captured at the time. In the photo, the gun in Gangplank's hand was spewing out flames, blasting Houston to death!
"He actually has a companion?" Sengoku took the photo.
"This guy is a dangerous person. His methods are extremely cruel. Recently, those pirates were probably all killed by this man who calls himself Gangplank the Saltwater Scourge!" Kuzan said, picking up his coat and preparing to leave.
[Adjudicator: Grimm]
[Saltwater Scourge: Gangplank]
The terrifying duo who had recently become famous in the North Sea were said to be extremely brutal. None of the prey they targeted, except for the non-combatant support personnel, could escape.
The symbol of the Adjudicator Grimm was a greatsword with a very strange shape, and the symbol of the Saltwater Scourge was very obvious: a large mustache tied like pigtails and a gun barrel as thick as a cannon.
Their estimated strength was elite Vice Admiral.
Their trouble level was comparable to an Admiral.
This level of evaluation was given by Zephyr.
Knock knock!
A knock on the door rang out, followed by the voice of Sengoku's old friend, Navy Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tsuru, "It's me!"
After Sengoku let Tsuru in, he put down Grimm's file.
"Are you worried about that kid named Grimm?" Tsuru sat down on the chair opposite Sengoku.
"Yeah, I always feel like one day he'll be as troublesome as Roger!"
Tsuru smiled: "At least he's helping our Navy now, so don't worry about that! I'm here to talk to you about something more important!"
"The genius scientist, Vegapunk's research team has been confirmed to have joined the World Government, but a man named Vinsmoke Judge has escaped. Regarding this man, the government plans to hide his deeds first, and then secretly deal with him when the time is right!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku rubbed his head. "That guy who did research with Vegapunk? It's indeed necessary to guard against him. He's not the type to submit to others, even if the other party is the World Government."
Saying this, Sengoku touched his beard again: "Then should we issue a wanted poster?"
Vegapunk and Judge were doing illegal life research that was forbidden by the government. If they couldn't be used by the government, they would definitely be wiped out, because they knew too much.
Sengoku was very clear about the World Government's style of doing things.
"It's precisely because Judge knows too much that we can't let other people know of his existence."
Tsuru was silent for a long time before saying: "Where do you think he'll hide?"
Sengoku thought for a few seconds and said: "I think he should go to the North Sea. As the most powerful royal family in the North Sea, he must have hidden in his old nest."
Tsuru shook her head: "I don't think so. He wouldn't not know that we're going to thoroughly search the North Sea. I think it's very likely that he's in the Grand Line."
Saying this, Tsuru stood up: "But this matter isn't worth discussing. It's all up to the government to solve it themselves. We still have to focus on Roger. I guess you'll be sent out soon!"
Sengoku crossed his arms: "Garp can't wait, right! He gets unusually excited every time he hears about Roger!"
