Landing and Speculation

Just as Simon Sandy's people were about to reach the island.

Yun Ye once again came to the Fortune Telling Club.

Under the respectful and awed gazes of everyone, Yun Ye walked directly to the headquarters of the Fortune Telling Club and found the old witch named Sharon.

Without any preamble, Yun Ye said directly, "It's time to use you. Go and eliminate everyone who lands on the island!"

Sharon was even more respectful than before. She replied, "Yes, my lord."

"Oh, and later, if they ask you who you are, tell them you're from the Donquixote Family," Yun Ye said coldly, continuing.

"This..."

Sharon hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes, my lord."

Hawkins had repeatedly emphasized that they must obey. Even if Yun Ye told them to die, they had to execute it without hesitation.

Therefore, Sharon nodded in agreement after only a brief hesitation.

Yun Ye nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left without any lingering.

This time, Hawkins still didn't show up, but Yun Ye didn't care.

As long as that guy was sensible, Yun Ye wouldn't do anything to him.

However, if he tried any funny business, Yun Ye would let him experience what it was like to be "One Punch One Kid"!

To get an early taste of being crushed by a strong individual!

Hawkins, who had been hiding in the small room earlier, suddenly shivered all over, causing him to frown. As a fortune teller, he trusted his premonitions very much. He was definitely being targeted by someone just now!

And this feeling, this pure malice... made him feel a little creeped out...

'What's going on?'

Hawkins picked up his tarot cards and began to divine. He flipped over the cards and, seeing the pattern, frowned and murmured, "Warrior Card... The battle is endless, does it mean I have to act?"

"Was the malice just now because I didn't show up, making him unhappy?"

"The strong dominate the lives of the weak. The weak either submit or die! The possibility of defeating him is zero, but the previous divination result was that my luck is on the rise..."

"This sign isn't submission, but rather receiving help from a benefactor, increasing my luck..."

Hawkins suddenly remembered a sentence Sharon had told him—

"Your perceptiveness satisfies me greatly. In the future, I can help you resolve a problem!"

This was the word of a Quincy!

"Can just a single sentence like that increase my luck?"

"And just for a moment of his displeasure, it could make me feel a palpitation!"

"What kind of existence is such a person?"

Hawkins was startled by his own guess, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

If that were the case, then... he would have to act!

Although it wasn't his wish, if he didn't act, he might face danger...

Even death!

At the port.

A massive three-masted ship docked.

Led by a bald man with a large belly, over a hundred vicious individuals jumped off.

Simon Sandy slapped his large belly and fired several shots into the sky with his firearm, making 'bang bang bang' sounds. After attracting the attention of all his subordinates, he said coldly:

"Seal off the port, no one is allowed to step out. Then, turn this island upside down and find that Bounty Hunter. Anyone who resists, kill them on the spot!"

"Yes, boss!"

Upon hearing their boss's words, these subordinates revealed ferocious expressions, with killing intent flashing in their eyes.

They were one of the pirate crews under the Shipping King, responsible for operations in the North Blue. They had come from the Grand Line, and their strength was naturally more terrifying than the pirates of the North Blue!

They looked like elite pirates who had experienced battles!

Simon Sandy himself was a pirate with a bounty exceeding eighty million Belly!

As soon as these people landed, they swarmed out in all directions like a locust plague.

They stormed into a bar, drove everyone inside out, and surrounded them.

Like fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.

One of them, a fierce-looking man with a beard, stepped on someone and looked down, sneering, "Do you know where that Bounty Hunter Quincy is?"

The person being stepped on was just a local thug. He had never seen such a scene before and was so scared that he wet and soiled himself, unable to speak properly. "I, I don't, I don't know anything about a Bounty Hunter!"

"Trash!"

The bearded man cursed and applied more pressure with his foot, stomping the thug to death.

His eyes scanned the crouching figures with a ferocious glare, and he spoke with icy coldness, "Did you all hear what I just said? Have any of you seen a Bounty Hunter wearing a Black and White Mask, named Quincy?"

These people were all trembling. They were just some thugs from the island, frequenting various places. Their strength wasn't much, and they just lived by doing petty theft.

At this point, they still didn't know why they had encountered such a situation.

However, one person suddenly spoke, trembling, "M-Mister, are you talking about someone wearing a Black and White Mask? I saw him heading towards the Dia Mafia's base this morning..."

"Dia Mafia?"

The bearded man frowned. Wasn't the Dia Mafia's territory the same place the Donquixote Family they were trading with occupied?

He knew that to finalize their deal, a cadre from the Donquixote Family had personally traveled from the Grand Line!

Why would that Bounty Hunter, Quincy, go there?

To die?

In his opinion, no matter how exaggerated the strength of a mere Bounty Hunter from the North Blue might be, they couldn't possibly be a match for a Donquixote Family cadre.

So, what exactly was Quincy going there to do?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and his expression turned grim.

'Could it be that someone from the Donquixote Family is behind this?'

This possibility wasn't impossible.

The Shipping King's influence, as a monopolistic maritime transport giant, possessed unique underwater transportation technology.

Furthermore, it controlled a deep ocean current that safely led to various locations, not only ensuring safety and reliability but also being several times faster than ordinary ships, though the commission was often extremely high!

There had been instances where some factions staged elaborate schemes just to avoid paying this commission!

However, those who tried such clever tricks met with tragic ends. Daring to deceive a King of the Dark World was practically courting death!

More importantly, the transaction between them and the Donquixote Family this time wasn't just about transportation fees; it also involved cooperation through other channels!

And the profits generated by their collaboration were no small sum!

At least over a billion Belly!

This amount could make even the overlords of the sea's heart flutter, let alone weaker Dark World factions like them!

And rumor had it that Doflamingo was an extremely cunning and ambitious figure, so it wasn't impossible for him to be involved in such dealings!

With these thoughts, the bearded man quickly picked up his Den Den Mushi and relayed his suspicions to Simon Sandy!
