Chapter 205 The Crisis of the Business Group
Chapter 205 The Crisis of the Business Group
[Santing Island] At the southwest port, a cargo ship has just docked.
A flag with a blue horn pattern was hung on the cargo ship, which was the symbol of the 'Greenton Merchant Group', but anyone who frequented the port would be familiar with this flag.
Because the "Greenton Merchant Group" is one of the few business groups that will continue to run the [Santing Island] route, especially a few years ago, when the old owner of the business group passed away, and after the new owner took office, the [Santing Island] Ting Island] has been designated as the fixed station of the 'Greenton Business Group'.
The new owner is said to be the granddaughter of the old owner. She is young and beautiful, and many people are secretly moved.In fact, it's also very normal. Who wouldn't be tempted by a young beauty with a rich net worth?There are even many people who secretly made crooked ideas.
But it is a pity that before the death of the old owner of the business group, somehow, he managed to find a guardian for his only granddaughter——'Scar' Morton!
Morton's strength is no joke. As a 'four-star bounty hunter', ordinary pirates don't even have the courage to fight in front of him!
This is not a 'new world', nor is it the [Chambord Islands] where fish and dragons are mixed together, a 'four-star bounty hunter' is enough to be considered a powerful party!
Many people have also wondered why the 'Greenton Merchant Group' can hire a 'four-star bounty hunter', and they have followed the business group's activities for a long time as a guardian.
Although the 'Greenton Merchant Group' is well-known in [Santing Island], it is nothing more than a merchant at best. The value of the entire business group may not be enough to qualify as a 'four-star bounty hunter'. You are right, there is something strange about this matter.
In this regard, some people have darkly guessed that the new owner of the business group must have somehow seduced that 'Scar' Morton, bewitching him to protect the business group.
But that's all just hostile speculation.
The truth of the matter is actually very simple.
In order to repay the favor.
Morton may not be a good old man, but he is definitely a person with clear grievances.
He was once saved by a person, but he wanted to repay this kindness, but he couldn't find a way, and finally chose such a curved way to repay his kindness.
Because the person who saved his life had some ties to the new owner of the business group.
This may sound a bit inexplicable, but Morton has always acted according to his heart, not so much whether it is reasonable or not.Otherwise, with his strength, no matter what force he goes to, he must be able to get a good position, but he chose to be a bounty hunter, that's how it is.
However, the 'Greenton Business Group' has encountered some troubles recently.
Even with Morton's support, there is still the danger of destruction.
……
"Miss Angela, you have to make a decision. Judging from the information I have obtained, although this 'Baroque Studio' has just been established, it is very difficult to mess with. Some middle-level cadres are already very troublesome... I suspect that there are more powerful guys behind them. If you are not willing to compromise, miss, we have to change the route. It is too dangerous to continue to [Senting Island]. ' said 'Scar' Morton gravely.
On the opposite side of 'Scar' Morton, is the blue-haired girl Angela who seems to have grown up a lot. Compared with a few years ago, she has only really grown up now.
Hearing Morton's words, she said in a low voice, "However, if we agree to their conditions, the profit we make every time we do business is simply not enough to support the continued existence of the business group..."
"Then let's give up [Santing Island]. Although they are not easy to mess with, they are just powerful in [Santing Island] after all. As long as we don't come here, they can't do anything to us."'Dao Scar' Morton said again.
"no!"
This time, the blue-haired girl directly refused with a little excitement.
She was a bit submissive before, but at this moment she became a little decisive, "[Santing Island] I will not give up!"
'Scar' Morton heard the words and sighed, "Miss, haven't you given up yet?"
"It was Uncle Morton who said it yourself. He would never lie to me. Have you forgotten?" The blue-haired girl was a little angry.
"That's what I said, but..."
Bang-! !
Before Morton finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud noise outside the cabin.
He frowned slightly, and said to the blue-haired girl, "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go and see what's going on."
"I'll go too, wait for me." The blue-haired girl saw Morton walking out quickly, and followed.
When the two came outside the cabin, they saw that the guards of the merchant group on the deck had fallen to the ground, and in front of the guards, there were two strange figures standing on the deck.
Standing on the left is a black man with an afro, wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, who looks like a rock star, picking his nostrils indistinctly; standing on the right is a blue-haired girl with an unusual appearance The fashionable woman wearing a yellow hat under Angela has a petite figure, with two earrings like lemon slices, and a smile on her face.
"Who are you!" Morton saw the situation and knew that the visitor was not good. He had already put his hand on the handle of his waist, ready to draw his sword and fight at any time.
Angela also noticed something was wrong after following her, so she stopped moving forward and hid behind Morton.
"You're that well-known bounty hunter, 'Scar' Morton, right?" The fashionable woman covered her mouth and chuckled, looking very casual.
"It's next." Morton didn't dare to be careless, because the two people in front of him gave him a very difficult feeling.
"Let me introduce myself, we are people from 'Baroque Studio', I'm 'Miss.Valentine', this is my partner 'Mr.5', um, that's it."
"'Baroque Studio', it's you again!" After knowing the identities of these two people, Morton became more and more vigilant, knowing that these two people must have come from bad people, so he thought about it and asked, "The last time I came to send a message What is the relationship between Mr.11 and you?"
"It's an accomplice, but please don't compare that kind of trash with us. After all, it's just a low-level cadre who doesn't even have the ability of a devil fruit. At most, it's just a little better than the little guy. It's not worth mentioning~~~" The fashionable woman covered her mouth and smiled.
In other words, are these two people in front of them both devil fruit capable users?
The fear in Morton's heart became more and more serious!
When that 'Mr.11' came last time, although he also felt that the opponent's strength was not bad, he still had full confidence in beheading the opponent, after all, he is not an ordinary person!
But at this moment, the two people in front of him made him feel that he might be invincible...
Especially from what the fashionable woman said just now, they have the strength to look down on the 'Mr.11' last time, which is enough to deduce a lot.
Of course, the possibility of the opponent's bluff is not ruled out.
But in Morton's opinion, this possibility is relatively small.
