The Western Sea Now

Chapter 27 The Western Sea Now

The sky was clear and the sea was calm.

This is the West Sea, one of the four major sea areas. Suzuki has been away from Sabaody for over a month.

Unlike the Grand Line, the weather in the West Blue is very predictable, unlike the seasons in the Grand Line, which change too frequently.

A little over a month ago, Suzuki received a call from a secondhand ship dealer informing him that he had found a merchant ship bound for the Western Sea and urging him to hurry over.

Suzuki didn't delay. He packed his things and quickly boarded the merchant ship. He negotiated a price with the captain and soon arrived at the Western Sea.

Suzuki has been in the West Sea for some time now.

We also roughly figured out the average level of the West Sea.

Although the West Blue is almost the most powerful of the four seas, it is still far inferior to the Grand Line.

Currently, the highest bounty in the West Blue belongs to Chinjao, the leader of the Happo Navy of the Flower Country. This legendary pirate is now living a life of leisure in the West Blue.

Because in the West Blue, Chinjao is currently the strongest in the West Blue and poses the greatest threat to Suzuki. He might even be instantly killed if they meet. Therefore, Suzuki has collected the most information about Chinjao.

A few years ago, Green Pepper and Garp had a fight out of spite, which resulted in Green Pepper's pointed head being flattened by Garp's punch.

This is the treasure that this great pirate is very proud of. Moreover, the treasure of the Happo Navy has always been stored in a thick iceberg. The iceberg is extremely hard and can only be opened by Chōjaku using his sharp tip.

But now that Garp has flattened his head, not only has his spirit weakened, but his strength has also weakened, and he can't even produce any treasure. Now, Chinjao rarely even comes out of the Flower Country, and basically just wanders around the vicinity a few times.

Of course, Garp was actually very serious during the fight!

Garp always boasts that "when I was young, I smashed several mountains to toughen my fists," and this story is actually related to Green Pepper.

Before his duel with the legendary pirate Chinjao, Iron Fist Garp made thorough preparations.

So green peppers, especially those from a few years ago, were really strong!

Although more than 20 years later, Chinjao was no match for even Luffy, Garp's grandson, he still possessed at least the strength of the strongest in the West Blue.

Not to mention before his duel with Garp, Chinjao's spirit, Haki, abilities, and everything else were at their peak. He even had Conqueror's Haki. In terms of strength, he was comparable to Jinbe from the future Straw Hat crew.

In this era, before Roger died, this kind of pirate would definitely be ranked among the top dozens of super pirates!

If it weren't for the fact that Green Pepper was the leader of the Happo Navy of the Flower Country, he would have been arrested by the Navy and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Besides Green Pepper, there are actually quite a few other strong individuals left in the West Sea, but Suzuki doesn't care much about them.

Because these people are not necessarily much stronger than him now.

For example, Gecko Moria, who was also from the West Blue, later became a Shichibukai and was a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Moria is still a rookie. Without having gained experience in the Grand Line, he only has the strength of a bounty in the tens of millions, not in the hundreds of millions.

Not to mention reaching the level where he could fight Kaido later. That would have to wait until Roger died, another three or four years.

Then there's San Juan Wolf, a giant, a Devil Fruit user, and a powerful figure in the West Blue.

In the future, San Juan Wolf was rescued from Impel Down by Blackbeard and then joined Blackbeard's crew, becoming the seventh captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. He was also quite powerful.

Right now, this "giant warship" is only just beginning to gain some fame, searching for food all over the West Sea, and even Bivalpo is a glutton.

Wapol eats castles, houses, ships, and he eats islands directly!

He would eat everything on the island: soil, houses, forests, mountains, animals, and even people!

San Juan Wolf did not do much in the West Sea, but every single thing he did was a horrific tragedy.

Currently in the West Blue, the only ones stronger than Suzuki, but not by much, are Moria and San Juan Wolf.

Then there's Shanks, who was still an apprentice on Roger's ship.

Diamond Jozu has also joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

Lafitte, the Devil Sheriff, who is also a member of the Blackbeard Pirates, is still in the West Blue, but his current strength is at most similar to Suzuki's.

Capone Bege later entered the Grand Line in the same year as the Straw Hat crew and became one of the eleven Supernovas of Paradise.

Although his family has considerable influence in the underworld, his current strength may not be as great as Suzuki's.

Characters like Brook (skull head), Robin (flower-flower fruit), and the beautiful Marine Tina are even less of a consideration.

There are actually quite a few pirates with this level of strength in the West Blue, but the later waves of change have eliminated them all.

Compared to the East Blue, where pirates with bounties of ten or twenty million Berries are considered extraordinary.

A bounty of ten or twenty million is only considered entry-level strength in the West Sea.

But like many ambitious pirates who yearn for the Grand Line, these pirates will eventually leave the West Blue after reaching a certain point.

Apart from Green Pepper, the West Sea poses no real danger to Suzuki at the moment.

Having figured out these circumstances, Suzuki's actions in the West Sea were no longer kept secret.

Where can I ask for information?

Without hesitation, Suzuki chose a major local power in the West Sea.

He is currently a guest at a shipping company in Xihai, a company that mainly deals in maritime shipping.

However, it's not a very large area, since it doesn't involve other sea areas.

However, within the West China Sea, this transportation company is quite good, with its basic operating area covering almost the entire West China Sea region.

Moreover, they not only engaged in sea freight, but also in mail delivery and other similar businesses.

These transportation companies have a lot of information about their operating area, as well as all sorts of other miscellaneous news.

After all, we're always traveling around, and the company has many employees.

In the days before computers and similar devices were widespread, if you wanted to get useful and accurate information quickly, you naturally had to come to them.

The boss's room on the eleventh floor of a magnificent building.

Suzuki was sitting in a chair, looking at the fat man opposite him who was heavily pregnant and sweating profusely.

Seeing that he seemed very panicked and stood there motionless, she comforted him in a very gentle tone:

"Sir, don't panic, I just came to ask for directions."

"Although the way I came in may not have been very friendly, you have to believe me, I personally rarely kill any living beings."
