Chapter 49 Supernova
The sky is clear, and today is also a good day for sailing.
It has been three days since it set off from Tanar Town, and the brand-new Berger is heading straight towards the next island. It must be approaching the climate zone of the next island, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Before departure, Giger performed a full set of maintenance on the Beagle and made some minor improvements.
According to his words, "This ship is well designed, but the shipbuilder's skills are rough."
After leaving his phone number with Giger, Victor and his group set off again, and the next island was the Chukilik Island that Kurokas had mentioned.
Victor, wearing a floral shirt with a bowler hat covering his face, was lying on a sun lounger with his eyes closed, while Robin, who was wearing a bikini swimsuit showing off his explosive figure, was sitting next to him and reading a newspaper for him.
"...Two days ago, 'Salt Stream King' Gustav and 'Zhan Nian Dao' Wuchai fought in Hewang Town on Valtom Island. The entire town was completely destroyed, and the townspeople suffered heavy casualties."
Robin frowned slightly after reading the report.
Victor's languid voice came from under his bowler hat: "That's the pirates, Robin. Even if they paint themselves as adventurous adventurers or chivalrous thieves, they are Pirates."
Perona, who wore an unusually bold and avant-garde swimsuit style, was sitting on the bow of the boat, with a big ghost holding a parasol for her. She asked curiously: "Brother, who are these two people?"
Victor took off the bowler hat on his face, sat up at once, showing a very interested expression: "I heard about these two people even when they were in the West Sea."
"'Zhannian Dao' Wuchai, a long-handed swordsman from the Kingdom of Tenakena on Jianshan Island, the Great Route. The captain of the Heart Sword Pirates, with a bounty of 2 million Berry."
"'Salt Flow King' Gustav Elomon, born in the South China Sea, with a bounty of 3 million Berry, the admiral of Gustav's fleet, and a user of the natural salt fruit."
Wu Hongji, who was wearing a cool summer dress, also paused her swordsmanship practice and came over: "The bounties on these two people are so high. The bounty on the Salt Current King is even twice as high as Jig's."
Robin took out a small notebook from the deep groove in his chest, flipped through a few pages and found what he wanted, and read slowly:
"'Salt Stream King' Gustav and 'Zhannian Dao' Wuchai have caused disasters in this 'Pirate Paradise' in recent years, and they are equally famous as 'Night Owl', 'Hannibal', and 'Lyekon' Foot' Li Kesna, plus "Black Gear" Jiger. Each of them is a ruthless character who has developed rapidly in a short period of time and has a bounty of over million!"
"People call them—'supernovae.'"
"Hehehehehe~~ Big Jiger has become a member of our 'Coral'~~ I'm afraid there will be one less 'Supernova'." Perona laughed strangely.
Wu Hongji also sat lightly next to Robin and said with interest: "Sister Robin, can you also tell us about the other two supernovas?"
Robin nodded with a smile, flipped through the small book, then cleared his throat and said:
"'Hannibal the Night Owl', also known as 'Hannibal the Accurate', is a sharpshooter with mysterious origins and was once a lone bounty hunter. A year ago, he committed a crime in the Kingdom of Erosho that shocked the world. He was wanted by the World Government for the 'Moseg Murder Case', with a bounty of 2 million Berry."
"'Raykukka' Rykosna, a female fighter, was born in the Kingdom of Death. She was once the bodyguard of the king, King Mimibei. Later, she took away a large amount of treasure and defected from the country, forming the 'Queen of Sanda' pirate group. The bounty is 2 million Berry."
"The most dangerous among these supernovae is probably the 'Salt Stream King' Gustav Elomon. This man has formed a huge fleet and calls himself 'Admiral Elomon'. Any merchant ship or pirate If a ship is hit by his fleet, it will only die. Even some islands with weak defenses will be attacked by them. The navy has carried out many encirclement and suppression campaigns against him, but all ended in failure. At the same time, he is also a favorite among people. A strong contender for the throne of the 'King Shichibukai'."
Perona started counting on her fingers: "One, two, three... If he is an older brother, there is just one less place for the King's Shichibukai. Could it be him?"
Victor shook his head: "No, there is a more dangerous guy. Don Quixote Doflamingo, he is the best candidate for the last seat of Shichibukai under the King."
Robin was a little surprised: "Don Quixote? It is said that this person did not stop in the 'Pirate Paradise' a year ago but directly entered the 'New World', so he was not counted as a 'Supernova' Among them. This person has a bounty of 3 million Berry, and he is indeed a strong competitor, but he has been keeping a low profile, will the world government win him over?"
Victor smiled and said nothing. At this time, the silver telephone bug specially designed for the Shichibukai-O, which was lying on the deck to bask in the sun, suddenly woke up and then made a sound of 'beep, beep'.
Victor, who was lying on the sun lounger, motioned the girls around to keep quiet, then picked up the microphone on the phone bug, and said relaxedly: "Hello? This is Victor who is basking in the sun. What instructions do you have? My respected five Master Old Star~"
The phone bug's face turned into that of an old man full of dignity, and he said coldly: "...You still have such a bohemian attitude, Mafia Victor."
"Haha~ I have a good attitude." Victor joked back.
"Hmph... don't talk nonsense. You must arrive at Marie Gioia on time in one month. The convening of the first meeting of the 'Seven Warriors of the King' is of great importance. We do not allow any member to be absent!"
"Oh? So, the remaining quota has already been decided? Is it convenient to spoiler?"
"Don Quixote Doflamingo." The five-year-old star on the opposite side of the microphone had no intention of showing off and told Victor straightforwardly.
Victor raised his eyebrows at Robin, and then said into the microphone: "Please rest assured! I will arrive at Marie Gioia on time in a month, and I will have some good wine to drink with you!"
Seeing that Victor is so knowledgeable, Wu Laoxing also slowed down his stern attitude a little bit: "Since you have become Shichibukai, then show some demeanor."
There was a click, and the other end of the phone was hung up.
Perona was a little confused: "Brother, what does the old man's last sentence mean?"
Victor stretched himself, stretched his legs and lay on the sun chair, and said relaxedly:
"The old guys think that my reputation is not famous enough. What they mean is nothing more than, 'If anything happens, we will take care of it. You can take the initiative and make something big happen!'"
"A bunch of stinky old men, then I will do what you wish. Don't regret it then!"
