Clang!
The door of the bar was suddenly pushed open by a force. Seeing this, the bartender skillfully greeted: "Patrol Captain Avro."
This person was the patrol captain arranged by the king to invite Grimm and Gangplank. After being given the order, he rushed over as quickly as possible.
When he and his subordinates arrived here, they were completely dumbfounded.
They often frequented this bar and knew clearly what it should have been like. Pirates and bandits were rampant, so he tried to maintain his momentum when he entered.
But now, the originally brown walls were completely dyed pure red, the ground was full of minced meat that had been blown to pieces, and heads had fallen around the tavern.
Whether it was the tables, chairs, or the ground, they were all covered in pieces of minced meat.
And the two people who had done all this were sitting leisurely at the only clean bar, drinking wine, completely indifferent to the bloody scene behind them.
The ultra-brutal pirate hunter duo was indeed incredibly bloody and brutal.
"Pirate Hunter Tirion D. Grimm, and Gangplank the Saltwater Scourge, have killed all the pirates with bounties they have encountered so far. Their reputation in the North Sea has even surpassed that of all the big pirates!"
Avro walked towards Grimm's back step by step, while saying: "Our great King has a business he wants to discuss with you. I guarantee with my reputation that you will be interested!"
His posture was very low. He didn't dare to touch these two guys' nerves, and didn't want to merge with the blood and minced meat behind him.
Avro took a brick-sized gold brick from his military uniform and placed it on the table in the middle of Grimm and Gangplank: "This is just a small token of sincerity."
Gangplank immediately wanted to reach out to take it, but then he saw Grimm's eyes and retracted his hand. "Okay, you're the boss!"
Grimm grinned, picked up the gold brick, weighed it, and then threw it to Gangplank. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over there now. May the Holy Light bless you!"
Minas Kingdom Royal Palace, on the red carpet, Grimm and the others arrived here under Avro's lead. This was a round table conference room.
"You've come, Grimm, the noble descendant of the Tirion family, a noble family in the North Sea!" Old King Wolf, sitting in the main seat, immediately stood up, opened his arms, and said.
"Oh?" Grimm looked at the person sitting in the main seat with some surprise. It was the first time someone had recognized the origin of his surname.
As for Gangplank, the old king didn't greet him, because the patrol captain had whispered something in his ear, probably telling him that Grimm was the boss.
Because from the outside, Gangplank was obviously more ferocious, so most people would think that he was the boss, so the patrol captain still had to remind the king.
"Thank you, great King, may the supreme Holy Light bless you to be forever young. I wonder what His Majesty has called me here for!" Grimm said politely, bowed, and smiled.
Seeing Grimm get straight to the point so readily, the old king didn't bother with any useless pleasantries and put the topic on the key point: "I am Minas Wolf, and I am the one hiring you this time. Our Minas Kingdom and the Arancha Kingdom are at war. There is a guy who is hindering our victory. I want you to kill him! Then help our troops win the war on the coast of the Arancha Kingdom!"
Saying this, Wolf held up three fingers. "The reward is 300 million Berries!"
"300 million? Old man, do you think we're beggars?" Gangplank immediately started bargaining.
"Shut your stinky mouth, Gangplank. Did I let you speak?" Grimm immediately played the good guy. At the same time, he didn't expect the old king to offer such a high price all at once. He knew that those with bounties over 300 million were rare animals in the Grand Line now. It seemed that the other party's strength must be extraordinary, and he was also a major concern in Wolf's heart.
Grimm organized his thoughts: "Dear King, you heard it too. My subordinate isn't satisfied with this offer. Aren't you going to add a little more to the pot? After all, the war between two countries isn't a joke! If you capture the Arancha palace, I don't believe their palace doesn't even have 300 million!"
The old king fell into silence, not speaking immediately. Where did he have any other money now? The last time that hateful "Straw Fruit" cost him a full 500 million, emptying out the kingdom's remaining funds.
"You can't do this. This is already our most sincere offer!" A minister said excitedly.
"Is that so! Then sorry, we don't think we can take this job!" Grimm said, wanting to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" The old king stood up, his expression full of exhaustion: "We can give you some jewelry and gold after the war is over!"
Grimm smiled: "Dear Wolf, your sincerity has moved me. How about this, you don't need to give me jewelry and gold. My request is very simple. After the war is over, you must help me promote the great Holy Light in your kingdom. I need a church, with my statue enshrined in it."
"Ah?" Wolf and the ministers looked dumbfounded.
"It's that simple?" Wolf was extremely happy.
"But Your Majesty, the power of the king and the power of God..." A minister wanted to stop him.
"Take him out!" Wolf quickly ordered Avro, then looked at Grimm: "Then, we have a pleasant cooperation."
"Tell me the details!" Grimm sat down and tapped the table with his finger, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart. The system's mission to [Build the First Holy Light Church], which rewarded 500 Holy Light Points, could finally be completed.
"The target's name is Keira Garrot. This is a photo." Mentioning this name, Wolf gritted his teeth with anger.
"Is that guy strong?" Grimm's eyes flashed with excitement. The stronger he was, the more rewards he would get after killing him.
"Definitely stronger than any pirate you've hunted so far," Wolf said with certainty.
"Interesting, then leave it to us. You just need to prepare the money, oh and the church, that's very important." Grimm said, standing up, full of energy.
"Avro, you're responsible for taking Grimm and his companion to the battlefield."
"Wait." Avro was just about to lead Grimm away when Gangplank stopped him. Under the gaze of the old king and the ministers, he said as a matter of course: "You have to pay half of the commission first when hiring someone, old man. You don't know this rule, do you?"
Pay half first?
Indeed, there was such a rule in the underworld for hiring organizations and assassins, but he had never heard of pirate hunters having this rule. Otherwise, why would they look for pirate hunters? They could just look for that organization that called itself the "Donquixote Family."
If they looked for the Donquixote Family, it might not be a matter that 300 million Berries could solve.
But taking half of the commission first was too much. A minister immediately stood up: "Mr. Grimm, you should control your subordinates..."
This minister was the one who suggested buying the Devil Fruit from the Donquixote Family and eating the "Straw Fruit." Because of the mistake he made, he had now lost the favor of His Majesty the King.
Grimm's expression suddenly turned cold. No matter what, it wasn't up to an outsider to criticize his subordinates. Grimm guaranteed that if this minister continued to speak, Grimm wouldn't mind letting Gangplank turn him into a pile of minced meat immediately.
Wolf saw a hint of danger in Grimm's eyes and immediately raised his hand to stop the minister from speaking, saying in a deep voice: "Someone, go get 150 million Berries!"
"As expected of someone who serves as king, it's a good thing to have your own style of doing things!" Grimm smiled, waiting quietly in place until someone opened a black leather suitcase in front of Grimm, filled with banknotes.
"Put it down gently!"
"No need to be so troublesome!" After Grimm got the suitcase, he threw it directly into his system space. Watching the suitcase disappear out of thin air, everyone finally saw Grimm's methods for the first time.
