I’m the suit thug from the Rocks Pirates! Chapter 026

With the identity of a mere intern, he achieved such a glorious record. This kid, Luo Ye, is fully worthy of the 1.2 billion bounty!

The Suit Thug – Luo Ye, the newest cadre of the Rocks Pirates. After joint discussions between the Navy and the World Government, his original bounty of 50 million Berries was directly raised to 1.2 billion Berries. This kind of feat can be said to be unprecedented!

Shiki, with a cigar in his mouth, slightly narrowed his eyes. He was calculating the success rate of his invitation to Luo Ye. Shiki had just been so caught up in being happy for Luo Ye that he only now remembered that as Luo Ye’s bounty and status grew higher and higher, the difficulty of successfully recruiting Luo Ye would also gradually increase. In the end, Luo Ye wouldn’t even need to refuse; Shiki would simply lack enough leverage to attract Luo Ye.

Looking at Luo Ye, who was sitting with Edward and drinking heartily, Shiki felt more and more that this kind of thing was likely to happen. Moreover, perhaps in Luo Ye’s mind right now, he was already seen as a target to surpass!

Luo Ye was unaware of Shiki’s thoughts. If he knew, Luo Ye would probably burst out laughing. Luo Ye had never considered Shiki as a goal to chase. Not even Edward Newgate, the future strongest man in the world, was Luo Ye’s goal. All along, the one who spurred Luo Ye to become stronger was the current overlord of the seas, Rocks!

It was undeniable that Rocks’ help to Luo Ye was indeed immense. Luo Ye had no intention of leaving before Rocks’ failure or even death. However, once future developments did not change, after Rocks died in the God Valley incident, that would truly be the period for Luo Ye to establish his own position in the New World! Before that, he would stay in the Rocks Pirates and improve his strength!

Just then, Edward took a big gulp and looked at Luo Ye, smiling, “Luo Ye, Shiki has been staring at you. It seems he still hasn’t given up on the idea of recruiting you.”

Luo Ye pouted at the words. He was, of course, very aware of it. But Shiki didn’t even consider that he joined the Rocks Pirates only to increase his strength as quickly as possible. When Rocks’ era ended, Luo Ye would already possess the power to stand at the top of this world. At that time, how could he turn around and join Shiki’s pirate crew? He had already come to the world of One Piece and possessed such powerful strength. He couldn’t just be a stable worker for his entire life, could he?

Edward couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Luo Ye’s expression. He also thought Shiki was a bit of a dreamer. Even if Luo Ye had the idea of joining another pirate crew again, his first choice would definitely be his, Edward’s, pirate crew! Why did Shiki, a guy whose bounty and strength were not as high as his own, have such confidence?

Luo Ye took a sip of fine wine and looked at his drinking buddy. Edward’s white beard was already taking shape. It probably wouldn’t be long before he earned the title of Whitebeard. Within the entire Rocks Pirates, Edward Newgate was Luo Ye’s best friend. Unfortunately, Luo Ye no longer had the desire to join anyone else’s pirate crew. Otherwise, Edward would indeed be a good choice. After all, with Luo Ye’s strength and status, even if he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he would only be on equal footing with Edward, not become his son!

Edward didn’t notice the meaning in Luo Ye’s eyes. Instead, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked at Luo Ye and said, “I heard a piece of news before, a rather interesting pirate crew just arrived in the New World from the Four Seas.”

“I imagine you’ll be interested in them too.”

Luo Ye raised an eyebrow at the words. “A pirate crew that just arrived in the New World from the Four Seas?”

“Not interested.”

Luo Ye’s answer didn’t surprise Edward. However, this group of pirates was a bit different! “Although they just arrived in the New World, they did something similar to what you did before.”

“A Celestial Dragon also died at the hands of that captain.”

“The name of that pirate crew’s captain seems to be Gol D. Roger?”

As the words fell, Luo Ye’s movements involuntarily stopped. After a moment, Luo Ye’s lips curved slightly. An inexplicable expression gradually appeared in his eyes. The future Pirate King, Roger, who teamed up with Garp to end the Rocks era, finally led his crew to the New World?!

[ 040] Unlock, a cross-class elevation!

Since that day on Hachinosu Island, after Luo Ye eliminated the veteran strongman, Silver Axe, who was a cadre of the Rocks Pirates, the entire situation finally gradually entered the right track. Rocks did not stop his invasion. Since Luo Ye had already made the Navy and the World Government feel a strong crisis, he did not choose to continue hiding Luo Ye as a secret weapon. Instead, he directly let Luo Ye replace Silver Axe’s previous position, leading the members of the Rocks Pirates to invade those World Government affiliated countries. As time went on, more and more World Government affiliated countries in the New World were conquered by the Rocks Pirates. Even those countries that were not temporarily targeted by the Rocks Pirates couldn’t help but feel insecure.

They paid so much tribute and Heavenly Gold to the World Government every year, yet in the end, the World Government and the Navy couldn’t protect them. Instead of wasting their treasures on the World Government, it would be better to offer them to Rocks and surrender to the powerful Rocks Pirates. This way, no matter what the outcome of the future war between the World Government and the Rocks Pirates, at least they wouldn’t have to live in fear every day. Even if they were resented by the World Government for this, it would at least be better than being directly annihilated by the Rocks Pirates!

Luo Ye, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, silently watching those who were continuously moving treasures onto the ship. This was already the fourth New World kingdom that chose to break away from the World Government, offering treasures to Rocks to preserve themselves. Every time a World Government affiliated country made this decision, it would infuriate the World Government and the Navy. They would even threaten these kings. However… these kings would appear exceptionally humble in front of any power. Neither the World Government nor the Rocks Pirates were something these countries could provoke.

When the king of this former World Government affiliated country learned that Luo Ye was coming, he directly collapsed on the ground and took a long time to recover. One must know that in front of this Suit Thug, even the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, were killed without hesitation. If they didn’t hand over their treasures, their country would probably not be saved!

Seeing the smooth progress, Luo Ye was not only not happy about it, but even felt a little bored. For Luo Ye, only fighting against strong opponents was the most exciting thing. Unfortunately, he hadn’t experienced a hearty battle for a long time! Since Luo Ye’s deeds spread and his bounty was raised to 1.2 billion Berries,
