Chapter 154 True and False

"That's right."

The bartender nodded, then turned his attention elsewhere and began to clean the stains on the table out of boredom.

The female bartender supported her chin with one hand and looked at the bounty with drooping eyelids, but she only saw a familiar face and a bounty of more than 200 million.

"This face... why does it look a bit like the one just now..."

"I... I... I..."

Realizing what she had done, she felt a little weak in the knees.

"I just flirted with... the King, the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"

"Knight Gawain?!"

...

...

...

After Gawain left the bar, he asked around about the news of the CP organization, and the answers he got were almost the same as what the female bartender said.

This also means that the news that Rob Lucci and Kalifa betrayed the CP organization is very likely true.

But inexplicably, Gawain always felt that something was wrong.

After all, in the original work, even after experiencing Spandam's backstab, Rob Lucci and his party still returned to the CP organization, and Lucci was even promoted to the chief of CP0.

He was not a person who coveted treasure, and it was even more impossible for him to do such a thing for a treasure map.

Either he was backstabbed again, or there was a trick, a pre-set trap... But who was worthy of him to do this?

After some thought, Gawain still did not find the answer, so he simply returned to the ship with Clo.

Until this time, Clo still had the same mischievous smile on his face. He immediately put his arm around Fan Oka who stayed behind and talked about what had just happened.

A few minutes later.

The laughter on the ship became two, and then the third... the fourth...

In less than half an hour, bursts of laughter came from the Raven.

Some people even secretly wondered whether they should popularize the story of Gawain and the princess to the newcomers.

But when they noticed Gawain's eyes that wanted to eat people, they simply swallowed these inappropriate thoughts into their stomachs.

...

At the other end.

Ajin led several subordinates to search in the port and finally found the target of his trip.

Black market for selling arms.

Sanji and Nami are responsible for the food, fresh water, and chart pointers, and the task of purchasing arms naturally falls on Ajin.

When he was under Creek, he was the second in command, and he knew everything about arms trading and ammunition replenishment.

Weapons such as artillery, although not very meaningful to Gawain and others now, can also serve as a warning and expulsion in many cases.

Therefore, although they are not valued, they must be available.

Behind Red Rose Harbor.

Ajin followed a fat man and slowly walked into a hidden warehouse.

Squeak!

The door of the warehouse opened, emitting a dull smell.

The smoke was all cold weapons that had been stored for an unknown period of time and were covered with rust. Not to mention chopping people, it was difficult to cut vegetables, and there was no gun, artillery or ammunition at all.

Ajin glanced at it and asked in confusion:

"What does this mean?!"

The fat man turned his head and looked at Ajin, the flattering smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became extremely cold.

His name is Fuo, and he is the largest arms dealer in Red Rose Port. Of course, if the situation is right, he doesn't mind playing a pirate.

At this moment, after his combat power has been upgraded to silver, Ajin, who is full of murderous intent and looks like a sick ghost, is a qualified fat sheep in his eyes.

"Sir, we can provide the arms, ammunition and even excellent cold weapons commonly used in the Grand Line, and they are all rare and exquisite products."

"It's just that the price... It will be slightly more expensive than other places."

Swish!

Dozens of armed guards surrounded Ajin and his party in an instant.

A group of guards raised their flintlock rifles high and pointed them at the heads of Ajin and his men. Obviously, as long as Ajin made any unusual movements, they would immediately shoot.

The threat was beyond words.

Ajin looked around, how could he not know that these people were planning to rob the thieves?

But these people did not pose a threat to him at all. On the contrary, in that warehouse, there was a breath that made him feel threatened.

Ajin shrugged his nose and frowned slightly:

"Are the people in there also yours?!"

Fou was slightly stunned, shook his head and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"This warehouse has been sealed for seven days, how could there be anyone?"

Fou's expression turned cold as he spoke.

He was too lazy to continue pretending, turned his head and looked at Ajin, with an extremely ferocious smile on his face.

It was obvious that he had regarded Ajin, who looked like a sick ghost in front of him, as his meal.

"Hand over the money, I'll leave you a whole one--!"

Shh!

Fou couldn't make a sound when he was halfway through his words, because a pure white bone spur stretched out from Ajin's fingertips and pierced his throat directly.

The surrounding guards just reacted at this time, but they had lost Ajin's trace in front of them.

The next moment.

They felt a chill on their necks, and when they touched them, they found that it was all warm blood.

One after another, they fell to the ground, covering their necks, twitching slightly, and then they were dead.

"Hoo, ho, ho..."

Fou gasped for breath, but could only feel his life slipping away, and a chilling feeling came over him.

He knew he was going to die.

It was not until this moment that he realized what kind of existence he had provoked, and finally understood why Ajin had such an indifferent expression on his face from beginning to end.

It was as if he had just run over the weeds on the roadside.

It was because his threat was meaningless to him.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

…

After a few breaths.

Fuo swallowed his last breath.

Ajin shook off the blood on his body, his eyes fell on the warehouse, and said coldly:

"Come out by yourself or I will burn this place!"

His personality is different from Clo, there are not so many twists and turns.

As long as it is Gawain's order, he must complete it at the risk of his life. The threat in front of him, he will rely on strength to flatten it.

After a few breaths.

Seeing that the people inside were motionless, Ajin picked up the flintlock from the ground and aimed at the gunpowder inside.

His finger just put on the trigger.

A weak voice came from the warehouse.

"Wait!"

Then a beautiful blonde woman walked out of the warehouse.

The woman's clothes were stained with blood, her steps were weak, and her face was pale. It was obvious that she had been hungry for a long time.

It was Kalifa who had been hiding here for a long time.

Looking at Ajin in front of her, Kalifa's eyes flashed a little light, but her voice softened, even with a bit of crying:

"You are pirates, right? If you can, please save me and my companions, even if I have to pay everything!"

Kalifa pursed her lips tightly, knelt on her knees, and pressed her head directly into the soil.

"Kalifa!"

"I don't need you to do this!"

Ajin was slightly stunned, raised his hand and asked the subordinates behind him to put down their guns.

At this time, a weak but cold and hard voice like stone came from behind:

"Are you also a dog of the World Government?!"

Rob Lucci barely stood up, his wounds bursting and bleeding, but he was not moved at all.

Instead, he stood in front of Kalifa with a cold face, as if he was willing to die for his companions.

"Lucci..."

Kalifa called out softly, turned back and exchanged glances with Rob Lucci, then turned to look at Akin.

They had been disguised for a long time, and they had calculated that the Gawain Pirates would come to the Red Rose Port.

Originally, their plan was to sneak onto Gawain's ship directly, and then cooperate to stage a drama of companions sacrificing each other for each other.

Coupled with the tragic experience arranged, as well as Lucci's own combat power and his own appearance, he was very sure that he could be recognized by Gawain and take the opportunity to sneak into the Gawain Pirates.

After all, according to the information they got, the knight Gawain was a person who valued his companions very much.

It was for this reason that he let go of the demon Akin in front of him, and even invited him to join his team and become his right-hand man.

Meeting Akin in advance broke their plan, but also gave them another chance.

Lucci gritted his teeth:

"I only have this one companion now, no matter what, I won't let you--!"

He fell on his back before his voice fell, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

Relying on the ability to return life, Lucci controlled the muscles of his whole body and tore the wound completely open, and blood instantly flowed all over the ground.

How miserable it is!

"Please, save him!"

Kalifa buried her head even lower, almost pressing it into the soil:

"I can do anything you want me to do!"

A trace of pity flashed in Ajin's eyes, just because he thought of his past self.

Back in Raven Harbor, he was like Kalifa, standing in front of Gawain to let Creek survive, but he was still used as a tool by Creek and almost died on the spot.

At this moment, the ghost man felt compassion, but still remained rational.

After all, if he brought trouble to Gawain because of his momentary behavior, he would never accept it.

"I can pretend that I never came."
