Garp would return to Foosha Village to visit his grandson every time he had a vacation. When the vacation was about to end, he would exhaust Luffy like a dog before leaving contentedly. Rodney was also exhausted like a dog.
Because Garp said his body was too weak and his vitality wasn't strong enough, he could easily lose his life on the battlefield. Thus, Rodney's hellish life began once again.
He cultivated during the day and refined Chakra at night. This cycle continued until Garp's vacation ended, and his hellish life came to a temporary halt.
He devoured food every day, absorbing a large amount of energy from it to fill himself. His body began to resemble the guys in the homo village. He was exposed to the wind and sun all day, and his skin tone was becoming like theirs. If this continued, his goal might be the Raikage...
No, he had to quickly master all of Rokushiki and learn Life Return. Otherwise, he would really become a member of the homo village.
Thanks to the Sharingan, he recorded Garp's movements when using Rokushiki. He just needed to learn them and then find a way to master them. The possibility of mastering Life Return was high, but before that, he had to learn Rokushiki first.
Shadow Clone... Why didn't he choose Shadow Clone directly in the first place?
Oh, he remembered, because it was too expensive... He couldn't afford it.
Damn it, he needed to do missions!
"Ding! Mission issued!"
Was it that easy to talk to?
"Mission: Assassinate the pirate Clive Shazo.
Mission Level: D+
Reward: 100 mission points."
Clive Shazo? Who was that?
On the warship, Rodney, who was traveling with the ship, asked Bogard, the adjutant, who this guy was.
Before working with Garp, Bogard was with CP3 and came from an intelligence background. He thought for a moment and said, "Clive Shazo, the captain of the Cannon Pirates, has a bounty of 11 million Belly. He owns the most cannons in the East Blue and has a thousand pirates under his command. He appeared in Guerrero Village in the East Blue two months ago. Captain Smoker went to suppress him at the time, but he escaped."
To be able to escape from Smoker's hands, he must have some ability.
Smoker's strength was also one of the best in the East Blue. The Logia Fruit and Marine Six Styles could definitely dominate the East Blue. It was estimated that only the leader of the Arlong Pirates could compete with him. If it lasted for a long time, he really wouldn't be his opponent. The Logia Fruit was unsolvable without Haki or Seastone.
Being able to escape was also a kind of ability.
"What? Are you going to attack him?" Bogard asked.
Rodney smiled and said, "That's natural." A positioning map of the target appeared on the light screen in front of him. The sea was so big that he might not be able to find him in his entire life without help, so he naturally needed positioning.
"I forgot you were a Bounty Hunter. Where are you going to catch him?" Bogard asked.
"I'll go to the nearby Marines branch to inquire first. Thank you for taking care of me these days." After saying that, he jumped off the ship and walked on the water.
"Did that Rodney kid leave?" Garp put on his dog head hat and ate a donut.
"Yes, shouldn't we recruit this kind of person into the Marines?" Bogard asked.
Rodney's ability, awareness, and view of justice were very suitable for becoming a Marine. Garp had invited him many times, but he was rejected by the other party on the grounds that he "didn't want to be bound by various orders" and continued to be his Bounty Hunter.
"It's useless to recruit him. By the way, is being a Bounty Hunter very profitable?" Garp asked.
"Of course, Bounty Hunters can exchange pirates for bounties. It would take an ordinary family a long time to accumulate the bounty for a pirate worth 10 million Belly."
"Is that so? Then let's become Bounty Hunters." Garp routinely went off the rails, causing Bogard to have a stomachache. He said, "Vice Admiral Garp, the Marines cannot get bounties for killing pirates."
It was the Marines' duty to capture and kill pirates. At most, they could get more bonuses, but don't even think about sky-high bounties.
"Hahaha, I forgot!" Garp laughed and looked at Rodney, who was teaching a Sea King a lesson on the distant sea. He said, "This kid, as long as he doesn't degenerate, can definitely become a Friend of Justice."
Garp understood the kindness in Rodney's heart. As long as this kindness was not polluted by this already turbid sea, then it would definitely bloom with the brilliance it should have.
Rodney knew what was good and what was evil. He would be angry because pirates hurt others, he would be angry to save others, and he would indifferently ignore what he couldn't see. When he heard about it, he would only say a few angry words and no longer care about it, but in front of him, he would definitely make those people pay the price. Using violence to control violence was not what he wanted, but it was the mainstream of this world.
Even the Marines were just a simple violent organization.
He could only take care of what he could see and touch. He really couldn't do anything about things that were further away. He was still in the stage of taking care of himself.
In the end, he was still too weak.
Sitting on top of the Sea King's head, the Sea King's eyes were Sharingan, which was a sign that it was being controlled. Its spiritual power was perfectly crushed by Rodney and became his means of transportation.
Sharingan, it's really easy to use.
The Sea King quickly traveled on the sea. A seabird glided in the sky, taking advantage of the air currents, wearing a hat and a somewhat worn leather bag.
He patted the Sea King to make it stop and waved to the seabird in the sky, "Over here, over here, a newspaper."
The News Bird, who was responsible for delivering newspapers, fell from the sky and landed on the Sea King's horn. It magically took out a newspaper with its wings, and Rodney took out 100 Belly and put it in the News Bird's leather bag.
You must know that these 100 Belly can buy two Choppers!
Chopper took tens of Belly and fought for hundreds of millions, I really feel sorry for him.
The News Bird flew away, letting the Sea King continue to move forward. He turned his back and looked at the newspaper in his hand.
World Economic News always dug up a lot of news from all over the world. Morgans can be said to be the world's number one paparazzi. He was extremely dedicated. Those who could be on his World News were all real big news.
For example, a World Government member state in the New World could not bear the oppression of the corrupt nobles and resolutely launched a rebellion. A large amount of space was used to describe the process and results of the uprising, and it also hinted that there was a shadow of the Revolutionary Army in it.
The wording was exquisite and the rhetoric was gorgeous. As expected of someone who made a living from this.
"Huh? A wanted poster? This guy is... Ace?"
There was a wanted poster in the newspaper with Ace's smiling face on it.
Portgas D. Ace, 50 million Belly, "DEAD OR ALIVE!"
"This guy spent two months entering the Grand Line, and has already made a name for himself? That's really fast." He shook his head, hoping Ace would keep his promise to him.
The wanted poster flew away with the wind, and Rodney continued to focus on the news in the newspaper.
Traveling is so boring. Next time I come across a town, I should buy a few books, otherwise it's really uninteresting.
Most of the news in the newspaper was about the New World. There wasn't much about the first half of the Grand Line. The pirate graveyard wasn't named that for nothing. It was a key focus for the Marines, and the Shichibukai guarded it. Few pirates could survive, reach the Sabaody Archipelago, pass through Fish-Man Island, and enter the New World, but those who did were powerful pirates, only to be taught a lesson by the Four Emperors' subordinates in the New World.
In the New World, the Four Emperors held absolute authority. New pirates could only choose to submit or challenge. Submitting allowed them to survive, while challenging would only get them killed.
The newspaper wrote about a guy with a bounty of 530 million Belly who overestimated himself and challenged Big Mom. As a result, he was hung up and beaten by Big Mom's top Flower-Flower Stick. Because he accidentally ate Big Mom's cake, he was flattened by a single punch from her.
Of course, if you could make one of the Four Emperors like you, you could survive.
If Whitebeard liked you, he'd take you in as his son.
If Big Mom liked you, she'd take you in as her son-in-law, or if your bloodline was special and strong, she'd take you as her husband.
If Kaido liked you, he'd take you as his subordinate, otherwise, Thunder Bagua would be your warning, and you'd be dragged off to the mines to be a miner.
If Shanks liked you, he'd buy you a drink.
After reading the newspaper, Rodney felt completely bored. He was still a long way from his goal, and there were still several days of travel ahead, so he would be very bored for the next few days.
I must buy some books in the future. I wonder what the novels in this world are like. Hopefully they're interestingly written
