Chapter 565

"The world is in such chaos these days, pirates are everywhere, and I heard from the Navy that this pirate seems to have wiped out the largest pirate crew in the East Sea."

"Really? Then why is the bounty so small?"

"Because they don't know the name. Maybe if they knew the person's name, the bounty could be increased."

"Although he did something that seemed like a big deal, he was just a small-time pirate."

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving only one person. This person bore a striking resemblance to the person in the picture, but was wearing a black suit. He stood there, deep in thought, staring at the image. After a long while...

"Slap!" He slapped his palm and exclaimed as if Satori something, "Isn't that me?!"

This person was Chen Fan. Although life on the ship was good, after drifting for several days, it was still more comfortable to be on land. He had just arrived in this town, so he decided to rest and part ways with the cruise ship.

Upon hearing this, the people around glanced at the wanted poster, then at Chen Fan's expression, and their faces changed. Whoosh! They all scattered in a flash, followed by the sound of doors slamming shut, and soon even the windows were closed.

"Um... do you have to do this... actually, I'm a good person, doing this will make me feel really hurt." Chen Fan said, reaching out his hand. But soon Chen Fan turned around, looked at the wanted poster, scratched his cheek with his finger, and said, "But this bounty is too low, isn't it? I'm such a big shot."

At this moment, three marines approached Chen Fan, tore up the previous note, and replaced it with a new one. Everything else remained largely unchanged, except for his name and the bounty, which had increased from 500,000 Beli to 5,000,000 Beli.

Then he said to Chen Fan, "You're a bounty hunter, right? If you see this wanted criminal, bring him here. Our navy will reward you handsomely!" He then turned and left without looking back.

Chen Fan blinked, at a loss for words. No wonder pirates could swagger around the streets of every town without needing to hide. Were the people in this world blind? They were just catching themselves. Chen Fan wasn't that poor; he still had hundreds of thousands of Beli on him. Those pirates called themselves the biggest pirates in the East Sea, but they were dirt poor. He should have taken that guy's head and sold it for money; now he didn't know which bastard got it.

Heading towards the restaurants in town, Chen Fan figured he'd think about what to do next later. First and foremost, he needed to fill his stomach. After a hearty meal, his belly was bulging, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He patted his stomach, a toothpick dangling from his mouth. The Pirate World was also a world of delicious food, and Chen Fan felt his previous life had been too rigid. To taste all the world's cuisines was a grand dream, after all.

Suddenly, Chen Fan felt someone tugging at his clothes. Chen Fan turned around and saw a cute little girl. When she saw Chen Fan turn his head, she seemed a little timid, her hand slightly retracting as she lowered her head.

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong, little sister? What do you need from your uncle? Uncle has a lollipop here..." As he spoke, Chen Fan took out a lollipop;

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Chen Fan's trouser leg again and said, "Uncle, you're very strong, right? Could you help me save someone? I don't have much money, but these are rice balls I made myself." The little girl took out two rice balls and said to Chen Fan.

"Who is it? Tell Uncle." Chen Fan asked, intrigued. It was the first time a little girl had asked him like this.

"Roronoa Zoro!" the little girl exclaimed.

"Crash...!" The people eating nearby jumped up in fright, overturning the tables, and looked at Chen Fan and the little girl in fear;

"Zoro!" Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected to run into the second male protagonist of Pirate King One Piece anime in a random place he'd just wandered into. Was he really the protagonist of this story? He couldn't even tell what time it was at the very beginning.

"How did you know I was so amazing?" Chen Fan asked the little girl with a smile.

"Because Uncle is the person on this wanted poster," the little girl said, taking out the wanted poster that the navy had previously torn up and showing it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan stared at the figure in the painting, utterly speechless. How could he be depicted like this? Was he really that ruthless? Looking at the painting, Chen Fan felt like he was a heinous villain, dressed so uniquely—blood-red shorts, wielding two white bone swords—truly cool!

"Crash..." Another sound of tables and chairs being overturned rang out, followed by everyone running out;

"These people are quite interesting," Chen Fan said with a smile to the little girl. "What's wrong with Zoro?"

"He's been captured by the Navy Colonel here. They want to kill Zoro. Uncle, please save him! He's my savior!" The little girl said, tears streaming down her face.

Chen Fan picked up the rice ball from the little girl's hand and put it in his mouth. The little girl looked up at Chen Fan in surprise, only to see Chen Fan smiling and saying, "I'll take your task. Don't cry anymore, or you won't be cute!"

Hearing Chen Fan's words, the little girl stopped crying and started smiling. She had also mustered up her courage to come to Chen Fan because he had a very comfortable aura about Chen Fan that made people feel trustworthy.

"Where's that guy? I'm going to go see him," Chen Fan said. Although Chen Fan didn't have a very deep impression of Zoro, he still wanted to see him for himself.

Next, Chen Fan went to the Marine Base with the little girl. On the way, Chen Fan asked Zoro why he had been arrested. It turned out that the colonel was a complete scoundrel, and the so-called corrupt official was referring to him. It really is true that there are scoundrels everywhere in the world.
