Pirate: The Wandering Swordsman

Chapter 2 Undercurrent
The next day.

After finishing his daily morning exercise, Roy came to the town and walked into the familiar bounty bar, and found that the atmosphere was different from usual.

After asking, I found out that the navy found signs of pirates around the town of Rogge last night.

Rogge Town is the most famous town in Donghai, bar none.

In addition, because Rogge Town is the entrance to the great shipping route, and for some special reasons, it is a town that the Navy focuses on guarding.Under the rule of Colonel Smoker, the leader of Rogge Town, it has been free from pirates for a long time.

However, since the straw hat boy's 3000 million Bailey reward came out yesterday, the entire East China Sea is boiling.

Many bounty hunters are sharpening their swords, ready to go.

Even some treacherous and cunning pirates are preparing to team up with bounty hunters to target this tempting 3000 million Baileys.

Not only can you increase your social status, but you can also get benefits, why not do it?
"Hey, Roy, have you heard about the straw hat kid?"

An acquaintance came to Roy's side.

He's the town's bounty hunter, called Scarloo.

He once hunted down the pirate with a bounty of 800 million Baileys, and is one of the strongest bounty hunters in the town.

"Are you interested in him?"

Roy raised his eyebrows, and said with great interest: "Didn't the 3000 million Bailey bounty scare you off, but instead aroused your courage?"

"If it was just me, of course I wouldn't say that."

Scarlo said with a chuckle: "You must have not heard that the navy is going to make a big move! The East China Sea branch is going to deploy troops in Rogue Town, and they will catch the Straw Hat Pirates here and eliminate Luffy and his gang."

Roy was surprised: "How did you know that Luffy would come?"

Scar Road said: "I heard that it was the news from the Navy Headquarters that Luffy and the others probably want to enter the Great Route. You know, no pirate does not want to enter the Great Route. Hehe, it seems that their dream is coming to an end! "

Roy didn't understand the meaning, shrugged and said, "You are really confident!"

Scarlo: "Colonel Smoker, plus we have so many bounty hunters, even if he is a big pirate with 3000 million Baileys, he will definitely be terminated by us! How about it, Roy, I know you are not a coward , are you interested in making a vote?"

"Okay, call me when it's time to act!"

"When things are done, no matter who catches Luffy, some of the bounty will be awarded. Do you understand the rules?"

"no problem."

Scar Road nodded, returned to the crowd, and continued to make friends.

Roy sat on the chair, keeping calm.

At this moment, most of the bounty hunters gathered at the bar have hunted down pirates with a bounty of more than 500 million Baileys, and some even beheaded pirates with a bounty of more than 1000 million Baileys. The unrecognized guy has long been excluded.

To be honest, in the East China Sea where the average bounty of 300 million Baileys is offered, these people are already considered strong in the usual sense, and they are also masters and seniors among bounty hunters.

No wonder so confident.

But these people don't know who they are facing.

That's the main character! !

"Ha ha."

After a while, he chuckled a few times, left the bar and came to the Navy Branch in Rogue Town.

"Mr. Roy, are you receiving a bounty?"

"good."

Roy nodded: "I solved the shark pirate group of 500 million Baileys a few days ago, but their ship sank, but there are witnesses."

"We have a record, the bounty is ready, please follow me."

A young navy man smiled and said, "By the way, Mr. Roy really has no idea of ​​joining the navy? You are so young. If you join the navy, your future is limitless. You might be able to become a major general in the future... That is the dream of countless people. "

Roy said, "Including you?"

"of course."

With hope in his eyes, the young navy clenched his fists and said, "I joined the navy to uphold justice. Those nasty pirates are constantly disrupting the order of the sea. If they are allowed to develop, they will definitely break the hard-won world peace. As a navy , must suppress the arrogance of the pirates."

Roy: "If necessary, I will consider it."

"I look forward to that day."

"By the way, I heard that the navy is deploying to capture that Monkey D. Luffy who offered a reward of 3000 million Baileys?"

"Yes."

The young navy nodded and said with a smile: "If Mr. Roy is interested in this matter, you can join us."

"I am very interested."

Roy chuckled, his eyes flashed.

Although through the support of the system and his own unremitting efforts, he has become a well-known bounty hunter in Rogge Town in a short period of time, but as the young navy said, this only represents his present, and his future will never be. will stop there.

【Ding】

[The system issued a mandatory task - the host's fighting spirit was detected, and Luffy is about to come to Rogue Town. Please host and Luffy to have a duel, regardless of the outcome]

[Task Reward: Sword Skill "Tornado", Strength +5, Speed ​​+5, Experience Value +100]

[Mission penalty: All attributes are reduced by half]

Roy frowned slightly, and then quickly stretched his brows.

This task is actually not difficult, and the rewards are extremely rich.

However, it includes "winner or loser".In other words, as long as he has fought against Luffy, the mission is considered complete.

"Win or lose..."

Roy is familiar with the urine nature of the system, but if he can detect another chance of winning, there will be no "win or lose".

He thought, "Does it mean that I am no match for Luffy no matter what?"

It has been almost a year since time travel.

As for the portable system, Roy basically figured out how to use it through groping.

You can call it - task system.

Divided into three categories: daily tasks, random tasks and mandatory tasks.

The difficulty of the former two is relatively low, and there is no task penalty, but compared to the latter, the task reward is much lower.

The task rewards are usually experience points, physical attribute improvements, and skills.

For almost a year, the system has only released 3 mandatory tasks.

Although they were all completed and received generous rewards, it was no surprise that Roy was tortured to death every time, and the most exaggerated one almost died.

For the first time, he decided to change his fate and learn knife skills.

The compulsory task required him to get started within one day, and he almost crippled himself. In the end, the owner of the weapon shop, Isong Song, couldn't stand it, and under his guidance, he reluctantly got started.

The second time, he had a small success in swordsmanship and decided to become a bounty hunter to improve his living environment.

The mandatory mission required him to hunt and kill a pirate with a bounty of more than 50 Baileys within three days.Roy racked his brains and finally found Duddy. With his help and guidance, he became a qualified bounty hunter.

For the third time, he faced a pirate with a bounty of 1000 million Baileys.

He didn't intend to act rashly at first, but the mandatory task required him to kill the big pirate... He had no choice but to do his best, and in the end he was seriously injured and killed him.

This time, it was not only the third compulsory mission, but also his battle for fame.

After killing the pirate who offered a reward of 1000 million Baileys, Roy's reputation finally spread to Rogge Town. thief.

The task about Luffy is the fourth mandatory task, and it doesn't seem that difficult.

The mission rewards... were unexpectedly rich.

"I really want to see how much worse I am now compared to the protagonist..."

Roy's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and he tightened the knife in his hand.

……

Leave the Navy Branch.

Roy came to the underground casino in Rogue Town, and saw a man with a grass-green cockscomb head and a short knife on his waist.

At this time, the ferocious Jiguantou kicked a wretched man down and flattened him violently.

The opponent was trembling from the beating but did not dare to resist, allowing the cockscomb to fight with fists and kicks.

"Dare to play tricks on my site, you don't want to live anymore? Who sent you to make trouble... What, you don't know this is my site? More than 100 streets here used to be my site, remember Do you? Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll take your skin off!!”

After finishing speaking, Cockscomb snorted and squinted his eyes, which made the wretched man's heart tremble again.

"If you don't go yet, get out!!!"

Cockscomb roared.

The wretched man quickly got up and ran away.

"Boss!"

At this time, his hands came to his side.

"what?"

The cockscomb tilted its head, moved its eyes, and looked careless, appearing domineering.

"Brother Roy is here, and he said he needs your help with something."
