Clearing the Loot

Chapter 9 Clearing the Loot

The sea was silent, and the cold moonlight exuded a strong chill.

At this moment, there were only four living people on the deck of the Bloodhammer pirate ship; the rest were all corpses.

His thirty-seven pirate followers, plus the twenty-three members of the Blood Hammer Pirates, totaling sixty people, were all wiped out.

Blood flowed everywhere, as if staining the moonlight with a bloody glow.

Suzuki wiped the blood off the dagger, his expression calming down, and then quickly began cleaning up the spoils.

First, there were the twenty-three members of the Blood Hammer Pirates. Since it was unclear who had a high bounty and who had no bounty, Suzuki asked the kidnapped women.

Although the women didn't understand why the murderous madman in front of them hadn't killed them, they still cooperated by pointing out the wanted members of the Blood Hammer Pirates in order to survive.

After Suzuki learned that only the captain had a bounty, he threw the bodies of the other crew members into the sea to avoid taking up space.

Then, Suzuki looked at the corpses of the pirates he had brought with him and was at a loss.

Helpless, he asked the women again if they recognized him, the pirate corpses, and the pirate ship nearby. This time, he received a negative answer.

This. . .

"I'm so sorry, I don't even know your names. And speaking of which, I don't even know the name of your pirate crew. It seems I'm really not a qualified captain."

Suzuki looked at the pile of corpses of his pirate underlings and sighed helplessly.

So he decided to go back to the original pirate ship and look inside the cabin.

After all, these pirates like to show off, and maybe some of them keep their bounty posters as collectibles? Just like the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work, it seems that almost every crew member's bounty posters have been put away, and Chopper and Sanji's two are often taken out to be displayed.

Thinking this way, Suzuki felt that the possibility was very high.

"Then let's go back and look for them, but before that..." He looked at the few women trembling in the corner of the Bloodhammer Pirate Ship, pretended to be about to go and kill them, and then swiftly knocked them unconscious.

Back on the original pirate ship, in the cabin.

Suzuki was currently searching through the wanted posters of the pirates.

Some rooms reeked of foul odors, probably where multiple people lived. Other rooms were stocked with food, likely serving as kitchens. Some rooms were very small, containing only a bed; these were probably the quarters for the first, second, and third mates.

He quickly found the pirate crew's bounty poster in what was probably the first mate with the filthy hair.

Suzuki opened the newspaper.

"This is... the Crossbones Pirates, with a total bounty of 21 million. Captain Elekpel Landry, a Paramecia-type Scissors Fruit user, has a bounty of 17 million, and First Mate Alphalac Davis has a bounty of 4 million."

Suzuki was genuinely surprised that two members of this pirate crew had bounties. The captain, who was killed in a sneak attack, was obviously no pushover, but judging by his bounty, he must have been quite strong. And the fact that the first mate had a bounty of four million also surprised him.

After all, the first mate with the dreadlocks wasn't very strong in the battle, but he probably joined the ship early on and had some brains, which is why the Navy noticed him and gave him a bounty.

Suzuki put away the bounty poster and went to the captain's cabin of the Crossbones pirate ship, moving the captain's body from the wardrobe to the cabin lounge.

Then they returned to the Bloodhammer Pirates' ship, taking back the body of the first mate, Dreadlocks, worth four million Berries, as well as the body of the Bloodhammer Pirates' captain.

They searched the Bloodhammer pirate ship for any valuable treasure, but in the end they only found items worth less than one million Berries.

Take it back, even weapons or anything that can be sold for money.

Finally, Suzuki looked at the three unconscious women with a bit of a headache, but still took them back with him.

After everything was cleaned up, Suzuki looked at the Blood Hammer Pirates' ship with reluctance, and could only painfully give up this ship that was worth at least tens of millions of Berries.

In the lounge of the Crossbones pirate ship, Suzuki silently calculated his gains this time:

The captain of the Crossbones Pirates is worth 1700 million Berries, the first mate with the dreadlocks is worth 400 million Berries, and there is also treasure in the captain's cabin worth about 500 million Berries.

The captain of the Blood Hammer Pirates is worth 850 million Berries, his treasure is worth less than 100 million Berries, and with the weapons and items, he should be able to sell for around 100 million Berries.

All these miscellaneous items add up to a total of 3650 million Berries. If the pirate ship is sold as well, it should be worth at least 5000 million Berries.

Having calculated this, Suzuki calmly took out the Devil Fruit he had faked and tossed it onto the deck of the Bloodhammer Pirates' ship. It had fulfilled its mission.

. . .

Alabasta, a port city with rapeseed flowers.

Just as dawn broke, Suzuki arrived at the port.

Upon seeing a pirate ship approaching the port, the port guards immediately became serious, quickly sounded the alarm, called for help, and cautiously surrounded the port with muskets.

Some residents who had set up shops and stalls at the port, as well as those who were out for a stroll, were also packing up their belongings and preparing to flee.

The pirate ship gradually sailed into the harbor, but strangely, no pirates emerged from the deck.

After a long while, just as someone couldn't resist going to the ship to check the situation, Suzuki appeared on the deck.

At this moment, Suzuki's appearance changed again; he was no longer his original self because he did not want to reveal himself.

Furthermore, he looks too young. Appearing in this kind of scene at this age would be too conspicuous. It's better to keep a low profile.

His current appearance is that of a random passerby in the Naruto world; he's just temporarily dealing with the port's army and navy.

Suzuki stood on the deck of the pirate ship and shouted:

"Don't panic, there are no pirates on this ship. I'm a bounty hunter, and the only people on board are me and the woman I rescued from the pirates."

Hearing this, the people at the port felt reassured. To them, bounty hunters were quite common near Alabasta, as long as they weren't pirates.

Suzuki disembarked, taking the three women with him. Under questioning by the port's military, the three women confessed what they knew.

They told the port's army that initially, they were kidnapped by the Bloodhammer Pirates, and then a pirate crew fought with the Bloodhammer Pirates, and the captain of that pirate crew went on a killing spree.

Just as they were about to be killed, the bounty hunter saved them, and after saying this, he thanked Suzuki with gratitude.

Subsequently, Suzuki quickly and successfully obtained the bounty, and with the sale of the pirate ship and the items he brought back, he received a total of 5360 million Berries.

After doing all this, he found a secluded spot and transformed back into his childhood self.

With enough money to sustain himself, he stayed in Alabasta for the rest of the time, training while waiting to return to the Naruto world.

Time flies, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the first return of the clone is about to begin...
