Klein's Brilliant Deduction
At this moment, he had to admit that sensationalist headlines did have their merits, at least in their ability to grab attention.
Drawn in by the headline and knowing that the protagonist of the news was someone he knew, Klein couldn't resist his curiosity and looked on for what was to come.
According to sources, two weeks ago, the "King of Immortality" confronted the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" in the central waters of the Fog Sea.
"The Golden Dream was no match for the Death Announcer and chose to escape into the deep sea."
"The Death Announcer is in hot pursuit."
In a critical moment, "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson single-handedly lured away the "King of Immortality" aboard the Death Announcer, and fought a great battle in another sea area.
Few know the specifics of what happened, but the result was that the "King of Immortality" suffered a crushing defeat.
"This news has now been confirmed. Afterwards, more than one person saw the severely damaged ' Death Announcer ' in the area where the Berserk Sea and the Fog Sea meet."
This news has already been confirmed... but there's not a single piece of solid evidence... The Death Announcer is severely damaged, does that prove Jodson defeated the "King of Immortality"?
I also said that the "King of Immortality" had encountered another Pirate King... Klein put down the Newspaper and muttered to himself in annoyance.
The image of this Third Mate naturally came to mind. It was true that Jodson was very strong; Klein had already witnessed his power back when he met him in the "City of Generosity," Bayam.
This person's true strength is not merely the apparent Sequence 6.
--Without any help from either side, he took down a "Wraith" within minutes who was strong in both one-on-one combat and survival.
However, this power has its limits. Even the strongest Sequence 5 cannot stand against a Half-Human, Half-God.
Forget about the opponents, only a few can even save their lives!
Otherwise, why are there only seven Pirate Admiral among the many Beyonder Pirate on the Five Seas, including many at Sequence 5?
The reason is actually quite simple.
Calling oneself Pirate Admiral is nothing special; only by surviving the "Four Kings" and gaining the recognition of the Pirate can one truly hold onto that title.
Even so, no Pirate Admiral could stand a chance against one of the "Four Kings".
However, this report claims that "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson single-handedly defeated the "King of Immortality" and his flagship, the "Death Announcer."
What else could this be but nonsense?
Klein didn't believe it at all. He glanced at the Newspaper's name, memorized it, and planned to blacklist it from now on, never wasting money on it again. "This is ridiculous... Mid-Sequence defeating High Sequence..." he thought to himself as he picked up the next Newspaper.
Soon, Klein stared at the headline and fell into a long silence.
A retired Sailor from the "Death Announcer" revealed that "The King of Immortality" personally told his men that he acknowledged Jodson's strength.
He stared blankly for a few seconds, then quickly flipped through the front-page headlines of the Newspaper, refusing to believe it, and discovered that more than 30% of them were related to Jodson!
Especially Newspaper from ten days ago—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they dominated the pages.
Could this seemingly outrageous thing actually be true? Klein frowned slightly as he looked at the Sonia Morning Post in his hand.
His gaze kept shifting between the two places.
One was a text message: "The Death Announcer ' is urgently recruiting crew members," and the other was "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson's latest Bounty: £120,000!
This figure exceeds the 100,000 pounds Bounty for the "King of Immortality" and is almost three times the Bounty for "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina! Klein's gaze deepened as he began to re-examine the matter.
Unlike Newspaper by small Publishing House, the Sonia Morning Post, to some extent, served as a mouthpiece for the Loen government.
What does it mean that they raised "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson's Bounty to such an outrageous level at this critical juncture?
Was he assuming the rumors of Jodson defeating the "King of Immortality" were true? Lost in thought, Klein suddenly heard a soft chuckle from the Restaurant Next Door: "Friend, haven't you been reading the Newspaper lately?"
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man dressed as an adventurer, between twenty and thirty years old, who appeared to be of mixed race.
Sensing the other person's desire to confide, Klein's heart stirred. He picked up the Suitcase beside him and affirmed what the other person had said:
"Indeed, I just got back from visiting relatives."
Then he glanced at the Newspaper and asked earnestly:
"What on Flower Bow Tie is going on?" I've heard of "Jodson" before, I think he's only in the Mid-Sequence, how come all of a sudden??
--He's now playing Sinbad Warrent, not Gehrman Sparrow, so he doesn't need to pretend to Coldness.
The young adventurer glanced down at his plate, and instead of answering, asked:
Would you mind if I sat there?
"Welcome," Klein replied with a smile.
Immediately, the young adventurer, carrying grilled meat and Beer, sat down opposite him, gulped down a few mouthfuls of Beer, and said with a chuckle:
"From what you just said about the Mid-Sequence, you must also be Beyonder, right? Hehe, actually, this isn't really a secret anymore; many people know." Nonsense... I didn't know... Klein nodded, not interrupting.
The young adventurer continued:
"The Flower Bow Tie" Jodson possessed an incredibly powerful Mystical Item, which enabled him to defeat the "King of Immortality" and the "Death Announcer."
"But whether it's Mystical Item or personal strength, as long as one possesses combat power comparable to the Pirate King, no one will care about these things."
After saying that, he ate two pieces of roasted meat, took a sip of wine, and said nonchalantly, "Wasn't there a rumor before that the ' King of Immortality ' was Sequence 5?"
"But if you ask me, Jodson is definitely more than just Mid-Sequence."
"Why?" Klein asked cooperatively.
The young adventurer chuckled, "Think about it... even if Mid-Sequence Beyonder possesses an extremely powerful Mystical Item, how many times can they use it?"
"Could it be that the ' King of Immortality ' combined with the ' Death Announcer ' couldn't even withstand a few blows? Impossible, it must have been a long and arduous battle before being defeated."
That seems to make sense... The "Sea God Scepter" also belongs to the "extremely powerful" category. At my current maximum power, I can only use it two or three times at most?
So, does this mean Jodson has been hiding his true abilities all along, and is actually High Sequence? Wait, I remember he was also on the "Marauder" Pathway!
Klein suddenly had a thought: The "Hermit" lady had said that High Sequence Beyonder of the "Marauder" Pathway have the ability to create clones... Jodson and Raven, who is also "The Magician's" friend Lorry, seem to both possess strength surpassing the Mid-Sequence... I've seen them in the Real World, and I have a strange sense of similarity...
Is it possible that they are actually the same person?!
Otherwise, these coincidences are impossible to explain. Beyonder follow the "Marauder" Pathway are so rare; I know two, two who are suspected to Demigod?!
