While Grimm and the others were crossing the magnetic force path, the news of the Corrupt King's imprisonment was spread by the newsbirds, letting people all over the world know about this.
"What? Pizarro was defeated? Who was it? Whitebeard, or Roger? Or maybe someone of Ulf's level!" In a certain sea area of the Grand Line, a female pirate with a fashionable appearance but difficult to compliment asked her subordinates.
If you really had to describe her, she might be Usopp's real mother. Her nose was exactly the same, and her eyes were extremely fierce. Her figure was more burly than that of an average man.
This person was Catarina Devon, known as the "most vicious female pirate in history," a female pirate with a current bounty of 180 million Berries.
Devon had also had several opportunities to clash with Pizarro, and she knew how difficult that bastard was. She felt that only someone of her level, or someone above her in strength, could do it.
But to Devon's surprise, her subordinate said with difficulty after hesitating for a while: "Captain... it's not... it wasn't any of them who defeated the Corrupt King Pizarro... it was a pirate hunter from the North Sea!"
"Are you daring to lie to me?"
"I wouldn't dare, Captain. That's what it says in the newspaper!"
It was no wonder that Devon was surprised. In their impression, pirate hunters in this era basically relied on some third-rate skills to capture pirates and exchange them for money. They were purely struggling to make a living.
If they really had strength, they would either become Navy soldiers or become pirates. Pirate hunters were synonymous with third-rate levels.
The Corrupt King was defeated by a third-rate level?
Taking the newspaper from her subordinate, in addition to some content, there were also two photos, one old and one young. The one who defeated Pizarro was that snot-nosed kid who looked about twenty years old. Could such a brat defeat Pizarro?
"Hmph! It seems that Pizarro has been robbing too much money and has degenerated to the point of forgetting to train!" Devon suddenly squeezed and crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the sea.
At this time, Devon's navigator stood at the patrol station on the top of the ship and said to Devon below: "Captain, we're approaching the big city of the Spring Queen, Saint Poplar!"
Spring Queen City - Saint Poplar, as one of the big cities in this sea area, had the title of a super-large trading city, second only to the water trading capital - Water 7.
Because the two cities weren't on the same magnetic force path, they didn't interfere with each other and rarely had communication.
"Muru huhuhu! Great, it's just right to change into some beautiful new clothes!"
Devon wasn't just the [Crescent Moon Hunter], the "most vicious female pirate." At the same time, her clothing taste was indeed outstanding among pirates. She had a high pursuit of fashion. If it weren't for the fact that she was too ugly, she might have been able to have a bunch of children like Charlotte Linlin...
Saint Poplar was undoubtedly the best place for her to shop.
While Devon's pirate ship left this sea area, five hours after arriving at Saint Poplar, a rotten ship that could be called "junk" slowly moved towards the direction of Saint Poplar at the speed of an ant.
Grimm sat on an equally dilapidated chair, pensive, and then called out to Gangplank: "Wooden ships just can't stand the wear and tear. We have to change the materials."
Basically, all cities had their own Navy branches stationed. The larger the city, the larger the scale and the higher the level of pirates who visited, so the Navy's strength was also relatively stronger.
Like now, in this era when the Great Pirate Era hadn't yet begun and the Navy's strength was superior to the pirates, it went without saying. A large city like Saint Poplar undoubtedly needed a strong Navy to be stationed. The one stationed here was Navy Vice Admiral - Pubeast Joseph King.
In Luffy's era, even if the strength of a Navy vice admiral was bad, they could definitely be compared to Rob Lucci during the Enies Lobby period. He didn't know about this era. Although Grimm had fought Kuzan and Zephyr, those two guys couldn't be used as a benchmark for comparing strength at all.
If the Crescent Moon Hunter Oba-san was entering the city for clothes, then the current Grimm was for food. He hadn't eaten decent food for several days. It was either bread or grilled Sea King meat without any cooking, and the taste was too monotonous. It was simply unbearable.
He really wanted a chef!
Dreams, adventure, and partners were the themes of the One Piece world, but delicious food was a basic element of any world. If there wasn't even delicious food, then living was really tiring.
After entering a hotel, Grimm directly ordered all the dishes on the menu and ate them happily. After eating, he directly threw 10 million Berries onto the table: "Make all the dishes again and pack five servings."
It was rare to see such a tycoon who used 10 million Berries to buy food, even in Saint Poplar.
The chef in the kitchen knew that a big customer had come and quickly ordered other staff to come and help. Soon, all 500+ dishes were packed up.
After being busy for an hour, the packed boxes were estimated to be the size of more than a dozen adults.
"Guest, everything is ready. All the specialty dishes in our restaurant. We should give you back 1 million Berries..."
"Just consider it your tip..." Grimm said, putting these dishes directly into his system space. He didn't know if there was a preservation function in the space. It would be terrible if they stank when he took them out next time.
But there was no way. The food on the ship was really too bad. Which bastard said that Sea King meat was delicious even if it was just ordinary barbecue?
Gangplank felt a pang of pain in his heart at Grimm's behavior. It was too extravagant.
Not long after Grimm and Gangplank left the store, they heard a burst of cursing from a clothing store next door.
"What a joke. You mean the size she's wearing is the last one?"
From the voice, he could tell that it was a woman, well, it should be, and from the slightly rough voice, he could tell that this was definitely not a beautiful woman. Because the voice was so loud, many people on the street looked towards the direction of the voice, and even Grimm looked inside through the glass window.
A burly woman with a sturdy long nose in the store was pointing at another woman with a better figure next to her, scolding the clerk with an unhappy face.
At the same time, next to the two women, whose figures and appearances were so different, stood two different groups of people.
The people on the burly woman's side were all tall and burly. Although their identities were hidden, you could still see the various weapons they were carrying. Pirates? Or bounty hunters. In short, they weren't good people.
Especially that burly Oba-san. She looked very fierce at first glance. It was really difficult for a woman to grow up like that.
But to be honest, this group definitely wasn't bounty hunters, because bounty hunters never formed groups, so they must be pirates.
As a normal man, if he compared the two women in the center of the crowd, he should undoubtedly focus his attention and goodwill on the prettier one first.
But Grimm just glanced at the silver-haired beauty and then looked at the long-nosed burly woman very seriously.
Of course, Grimm wasn't looking at the other party's appearance, thinking that her ugliness was unique, but Grimm recognized the woman's identity.
