He really didn't realize that although he hasn't gone back much since he started cultivating and didn't pay enough attention to the town, it was interesting that there was a metahuman at his door and a pirate who could be domineering.
To be honest, he was even a little jealous!
On what basis!
Why did he join the Marine in order to be safe but went all the way to Vice-Admiral? The old man he met every time was so dangerous.
You are still a pirate, a chaotic pirate, but you can stay in East Blue until now.
He has fame and the people nearby respect him. He has a business and is not short of money. He has a few lackeys and is completely a rich man.
But he is a pirate!
What he couldn't do when he joined the Marine, he could do as a pirate!
East Blue doesn't allow such an awesome person, Kuro doesn't care about that.
"If I don't force you to the Grand Line and make you famous, I will be sorry for my ten years of hard work!"
Kuro thought to himself.
"Give me a bounty and find out what his name is!"
As they walked towards the port, Kuro said fiercely.
Crowe, who was at the side, looked over. "Mr. Kuro, with such strength, you can directly start a bounty and fabricate a crime…"
Before he could finish, Kuro glared at him.
"He didn't commit any crime, why are you offering a bounty? You have to be upright and look for evidence first. Such a person can't be innocent."
Yes, William was guilty, but he would not be found out.
East Blue, escaped the pursuit of the Marines, a pirate fleet with ten ships sailed at sea.
"William, I don't understand!"
In the Captain's cabin, Mont Blanc said unhappily, "Why don't you let us go up? It's just taking down the mast and then using your ability to escape."
"I have my ways."
William shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to confront the Marine. We are still in the East China Sea. Although the sea is large, the Marine of the Four Seas is extremely dominant. If we attack the pirates, there will be a bounty. Once the bounty is put on us, we will be surrounded by Marines. It is not suitable for our plan. In the East China Sea, I don't want a bounty."
He is a pirate and dreams of becoming a pirate. It is impossible to say that he does not like the bounty. For pirates, the bounty represents fame.
A long time ago, when he first became a pirate, he always felt that these pirates were too weak and shallow.
With his sword, he could kill everyone on the ship.
But he did not dare, because at that time, East Blue had Kuro. If this person did not leave, he would not dare to be famous.
Later on, when Kuro left, he became accustomed to it. Everything was about planning before taking action.
What was the point of being famous in East Blue? He had to go out to the Grand Line, but he was not ready yet.
"William…"
Elmyra looked over. "Since someone is investigating you, what you did will be discovered. If we are still in East Blue at that time, it will be too late once we are put on a bounty."
He had been with William the longest and had been with him since William killed the first pirate group, so he knew better what William had done.
Including but not limited to black eat black, extortion, and assassination, the things they did were shocking.
William had killed pirates, Marines, and rich and noble.
Although William has always paid attention to his prestige, the people he killed were notorious.
The Marines he killed were essentially scum worse than Monka at that time. They only knew how to embezzle and blackmail and colluded with pirates.
The rich people who were killed also relied on money to do dirty business.
The nobles who were killed were the kind of nobles who did not take the lives of civilians seriously and were even worse than tenryubito.
But they were people of the World Government.
The World Government does not consider these things. Once the matter is exposed, William will definitely have a bounty.
"No, it won't. I've noticed everything."
William said in a deep voice: "When I killed the Marine Captain, I sneaked in and put on a balaclava for it. He is not my opponent and his throat was cut by my sword. He will not recognize me."
"That tycoon, I took advantage of the fact that he was alone at home and burned the place down. After forcing him out, I killed him with a sword and faked it as a fire scene. No one recognized me."
"That noble, we acted together at that time. You remember, we provoked the power struggle in that country and made that noble want to take refuge, but he was killed by us on the way. For this reason, we have prestige in that country."
"What I did will definitely not be discovered."
He did not dare to let anyone find out. When he encountered something, the first thing he prepared was not a plan of action, but how to not be discovered. Apart from his whereabouts, he did not even have a face. The World Government did not even know what he looked like, so how could he be wanted?
As for the people on the island, he was confident that after so many years, no one would rat on him.
All of this was so that he would not be offered a bounty, because Kuro was still in East Blue at that time.
"Our foundation is in East Blue. We will not give up on this."
William said, "We also have more than one base. If we don't have Svitters, we will change the location. East Blue is so big, as long as we hide well, no one will find us."
He even wanted to change the flag.
But for one, his subordinates would not agree at all. The Pirate Flag is their symbol. If it is replaced, the symbol will be gone.
Secondly, this Pirate Flag is also recognized by the civilians in their sphere of influence. Once it is replaced, it will be very troublesome.
"The World Government investigated us, maybe because what we did in that kingdom made the king suspicious, and he reacted. This is a mistake in our plan, it's okay if we can't be king. As long as we leave that side, the World Government won't hold on to us."
William said, "Unless there is a higher-up watching us, we will not be exposed."
Why would anyone keep an eye on them? William had not been targeted for so many years. In East Blue, who would deliberately kill them?
After a period of time, when the limelight is gone, they can still appear in the East China Sea and then prepare to march into the Grand Line.
"Isn't it enough now?" Mont Blanc sighed. "William, we are strong enough. Armament Haki and Observation Haki, we all know them. You even have… Forget it, and you are a Logia. Not to mention East Blue, there is no one in Paradise who can beat you. I came from the Grand Line, I know!"
"You underestimate the sea," William said. "There are too many strong people in the sea. I only know one. You know that Golden Lion. His full name is Luciru Kuro. In my eyes, he is terrifyingly strong. But even so, he stayed in the East China Sea for ten years before going to the Grand Line."
"But in the Grand Line, that Kuro only took a little more than two years to reach Vice-Admiral. What does this mean? It means that the strength of the Grand Line is very high. Otherwise, such a short time is definitely not enough for that Kuro to get the credit. Look at the people he killed, they are all as strong as Ledfield."
"It can be seen that the danger level of the Grand Line is very high. We may be safe in the East China Sea, but in the Grand Line, it is far from enough. We need to prepare more and make sure that nothing will happen to us in the first half of the Grand Line."
William said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will have a chance. When our people grow a little stronger, we will go to the Grand Line and welcome the storm!"
Montblanc opened his mouth. He actually wanted to say that [Paradise] was not that scary, but he couldn't find a chance to refute, because what he said was quite reasonable.
East Blue stayed calm for ten years and went to the Grand Line to fight all kinds of battles.
Perhaps Mont Blanc himself was lucky on the Grand Line back then?
