"Vacuum slashes?" Tashigi's face changed all of a sudden.
As a swordsman, she was very clear about every watershed in strength on the road to becoming the Supreme Great Swordsman.
In Tashigi's understanding, swordsmanship was divided into several levels. Those familiar with swordsmanship were called swordsmen.
Those who knew vacuum slashes were called great swordsmen.
And those who mastered cutting steel were further advanced sword masters.
Those who learned flying slashes needed to greatly improve their understanding of swordsmanship and the development of their own strength.
The combination of the two would be hailed as a Great Swordsman.
And above the Great Swordsman were the Supreme Great Swordsman and the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman.
However, the person who had come now, the Wolf with a bounty of 50 million, was actually a Great Swordsman, which was undoubtedly beyond Tashigi's expectations.
"Miss Tashigi, quickly think of a way. They're almost here. You're the strongest person on this ship." The middle-aged captain became anxious all of a sudden.
In his eyes, Tashigi had undoubtedly become a life-saving straw.
For a time, the gazes of hundreds of people on the huge deck all locked onto Tashigi.
This made Tashigi, who was already introverted, even more flustered all of a sudden.
However, thinking that there were more than a hundred lives on this ship that could be buried at the hands of pirates at any time.
Tashigi's nerves tensed all of a sudden, and she said, gritting her teeth, "Captain, your ship is overloaded with cargo, so the speed of travel has been greatly reduced. You will be caught up soon if you sail for a long time."
"You quickly throw away the cargo on the ship now to reduce the ship's weight as much as possible and increase the ship's speed as much as possible."
"I remember that there's a group of reefs not far ahead. This place isn't far from Loguetown. If we're lucky enough, we should be able to wait for the Marine's support."
The hurried words echoed on the deck, making the people in the room look at each other in dismay.
This kind of overloaded sailing wasn't a rare thing.
After all, sailing on the sea where pirates were rampant was a matter of living with their heads tied to their belts.
If they were careless, they would lose their lives.
So, as a businessman, the primary premise was to maximize profits.
Whether it was overloaded or not, and the issue of money or not, there was no need for them to choose at all in their eyes.
Right now, Tashigi was actually telling him to throw away the cargo that he had brought back at the risk of his life.
That was absolutely impossible.
"Y, you're telling me to throw away the cargo?" The middle-aged man changed his amiable expression from just now, his face flushed, and he shouted urgently, "Do you know how much money I spent to buy this ship? The cargo being transported this time is worth tens of millions."
"You're telling me to give up now. That's telling me to die."
"If I had known it would be like this, why would I hire you bounty hunters? Why would I give you 500,000 Berries!"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man reached out and grabbed the sword in Tashigi's hand and roared angrily, "You kind of coward, holding this sword is an insult!"
The hysterical roar echoed on the deck, making Tashigi also look dazed.
She had worked with this kind-faced middle-aged merchant several times.
Everything had always been fine, and the other party also respected her very much.
But Tashigi never expected that his attitude would change so drastically all of a sudden.
Watching the quickly reaching hand, Tashigi panicked and couldn't help but take half a step back to avoid it.
Unfortunately, she leaned heavily against the railing of the ship, and there was no way to retreat.
The only thing she could do was to watch this reaching hand take away the sword in her hand.
As for fighting back?
With Tashigi's character, she hadn't even thought about it.
Puchi! A low sonic boom suddenly rang out.
An unexpected tall figure, like a ghost, took the lead and appeared in front of Tashigi.
That muscular, rock-like, explosive hand instantly grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist.
The next moment, without any warning, it twisted violently.
"Ah! My hand!"
A scream rang out all of a sudden, but it still couldn't cover the sound of the middle-aged man's arm bone breaking.
Watching that figure with a lightning-like scar on his face and a tall body like an iron tower.
That face full of aloofness made everyone on the deck have a thought in their minds in an instant.
This was a ruthless person!
"Y, why did you break my hand? Don't forget that I'm your employer. Once your behavior spreads, your reputation will be ruined. Who will hire you in the future!"
The middle-aged man clutched the wrist that was broken at a 90-degree angle, his face pale with pain, and shouted urgently.
However, faced with this so-called righteous scolding, Kai's expression remained the same, and he said coldly, "You disturbed my sleep."
"There's also one more thing. I haven't received any reward from you, so you didn't hire me. At most, I can only be considered as getting a free ride on the ship."
"Originally, if I was in a good mood, I might have helped you deal with them, but now you've disturbed my sleep!"
Speaking of this, Kai met the middle-aged man's gaze.
The moment their eyes met, it immediately made the middle-aged man shiver. All the harsh words that had reached his mouth were instantly swallowed back into his stomach, and he hurriedly changed his words and said, "I... I'm sorry. I was too panicked and disturbed your rest. As long as you can deal with these pirates, I'm willing to pay 1 million Berries. This is the price we discussed before."
1 million!
This was a sky-high price for a bounty hunter escort mission.
Right now, the middle-aged man gave this price as soon as he opened his mouth, which undoubtedly exceeded many people's expectations.
However, more people secretly sneered.
As a veteran, there must be a heavy reward under heavy gold.
Faced with this inevitable death situation, the captain was increasing the price by 1 million, which was nothing more than holding the thought of making people fight to the death.
As for whether he would cash it out later, that would only count if they really survived.
Right now, a man with an unknown reputation looked extraordinary.
But faced with the great pirate with a bounty of 50 million who had come from the Grand Line.
For them, this was an inevitable death situation.
The so-called 1 million was completely an empty check.
They didn't need to give it if he died, and they didn't need to give it even more if he was lucky enough to be half-dead.
This was the best way to treat newcomers.
"1 million?" Kai of course knew what the captain's purpose was. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile, "Capitalism is really evil."
"It doesn't even have the confidence to issue an empty check."
"I heard that the goods on your entire ship are worth 10 million. Then 1 million was just the price before we set sail. Right now, my price is 10 million Berries."
"Of course, you can say no. I can also pat my butt and leave. But don't blame me for not telling you in advance. Fairy Tail's mages don't accept debt."
