The Viltrumite Across the Worlds

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: You Misunderstand—What I Mean Is, It’ll Cost Extra

Money was something that always ran out eventually.

A person out in the world could lack almost anything, except money. Money was the one thing he absolutely could not go without.

When Jovian looked at his completely empty wallet, his eyes were filled with helplessness. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"This is pissing me off. Why are there so few pirates on this island? Aren’t they getting in the way of me making money?"

Jovian shouted, his words filled with distress over the sharp decline in pirates on the Sabaody Archipelago.

Half a month had already passed since Jovian arrived on the Sabaody Archipelago. During this half month, Jovian had killed a total of seventy great pirates. Every one of those seventy pirates had a bounty in the tens of millions. In the Four Seas and Paradise, they were all infamous, high-profile great pirates.

Yet before Jovian, those so-called great pirates were as powerless as children.

As Jovian continued working nonstop, his name spread across the world through the newspapers of the World Economy News Paper. Jovian’s title, the "Horndog Emperor," also reached the ears of countless major figures.

And because Jovian had treated the Marines like an ATM, exchanging dead pirates for nearly one billion Berries, some major figures had also turned their eyes toward him. They were all watching Jovian.

However, Jovian did not care about any of that in the slightest. What he cared about was the fact that the pirates on this archipelago had become fewer and fewer because of his rampant hunting. Now the island was full of small fry worth only a few million, and he could not bring himself to be interested at all.

"Having no money and no women is way too painful."

Jovian covered his face, feeling deeply troubled over the days ahead.

"Damn pirates! Send me more of them!"

Because he made his living from the Marines, Jovian naturally stood on the Marines’ side. It was not that he hated pirates that much. Simply put, the Marines paid him, so whoever paid him was the side Jovian stood on.

Just as Jovian was feeling incomparably distressed, a man dressed like a World Government official, wearing a black suit, walked into the tavern and sat down beside Jovian.

"Hey, kid, I don’t have a habit of buying drinks for men." Jovian looked at the well-dressed World Government official beside him, who was blocking the light above his head, and spoke with extreme bluntness.

"Hahaha..."

"You must be the famous pirate hunter, Red-Eyed Jovian, correct?"

The World Government official stood in front of Jovian and chuckled, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"What do you want?"

Jovian leaned against the chair beside him and asked irritably.

"Uh..."

"Hehehe. You truly have a sense of humor. I happen to have a job here. I wonder whether you would be interested in taking it. Once the matter is done, we are willing to offer a generous reward."

The World Government official knew that he was no match for Jovian at all. He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

"Huh?"

Jovian froze for a moment after hearing the World Government official’s words.

"Let’s hear it. What do you want me to do?"

Jovian asked.

"In about three days, the Straw Hat crew will arrive near the Sabaody Archipelago. When that happens, I hope you can take action and help us capture Nico Robin. For that, we are willing to offer this amount."

As the World Government official spoke, he raised three fingers.

"That’s it?"

"You do know Nico Robin is the famous Devil Child, right? Your World Government hasn’t been able to catch her for over ten years. Do you really think I can catch her?"

Jovian looked disdainful. How could he possibly go capture Nico Robin for that little bit of money?

"So you are unwilling to do it?"

"That truly is a shame..."

The World Government official sighed helplessly. Still, he knew that capturing Nico Robin was an extremely difficult task for anyone, even for Jovian. So Jovian’s refusal was within his expectations.

After figuring that out, the World Government official stood up, looking as if he was preparing to leave.

"Wait..."

Just as the World Government official was about to leave, Jovian suddenly spoke and stopped him.

"What else do you need?"

The World Government official looked at Jovian, who had called him back, with a trace of panic in his expression. After all, the Jovian in front of him was a monster who had single-handedly brought peace to the entire Sabaody Archipelago. With a powerful person like this, one wrong move might get him beaten half to death. Even as someone from the World Government, he still felt no sense of security before such a strong man.

"You misunderstood. What I mean is, for a beautiful and adorable woman like Nico Robin, you’ll have to pay extra!"

Jovian’s face was full of righteousness. He was a good man who stood firmly against violence, gambling, and drugs. Facing evil pirates, of course he would step forward without hesitation and suppress them with a backhanded strike.

But they would have to pay extra!

"Uh, hehehehe..."

After hearing Jovian’s words, the World Government official chuckled awkwardly. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he nodded.

"Paying extra is a small matter."

"By the way, how much extra are you thinking?"

The World Government official asked.

"Not much."

After hearing the official’s question, Jovian raised five fingers.

"Five? Five hundred million?"

The official stared at Jovian’s fingers, stunned. His eyes trembled. To be honest, five hundred million was absolutely not a small sum.

Of course, to some billionaire CEO, it might be nothing, but to him, it was absolutely not nothing.

"Mm."

Jovian nodded, then added, "You have to pay in advance. Also, if I fail, there are no refunds."

Yes, Jovian demanded that the World Government pay in advance. As for whether he would still go deal with Nico Robin after being paid...

Heh. What a ridiculous question. From beginning to end, he had never intended to hand Nico Robin over to the World Government.

"This..."

"Fine..."

After hesitating again and again, the official still nodded helplessly. Originally, CP0, returning from the New World, was supposed to take over the work of contacting Jovian and capturing Nico Robin. But at present, something monumental had happened on these seas, something even the World Government placed immense importance on. This matter was so important that the World Government had dispatched all Cipher Pol agents to the New World to monitor a certain existence.

The root cause was that Fire Fist Ace had been captured.

He was the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, a great pirate with a bounty of five hundred fifty million Berries. He served under Edward Newgate, Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World. Whitebeard was the world’s strongest man, a legendary great pirate with the terrifying destructive power to destroy the world, a Paramecia-type user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the oldest sea emperor of the current age, and the man with the highest bounty among all living pirates. He had once competed across the seas with the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and was known as the uncrowned king.

People on the sea all said the same thing. If someone touched Whitebeard’s family, then Whitebeard would become terrifyingly dangerous. He might even destroy the world for the sake of his family.

In other words, one of the Four Emperors of the New World was about to come to Paradise, to the Marine headquarters, Marineford, and wage war against the defenders of order on the sea, the entire Marine force.

In the face of a conflict between a Four Emperor and the Marines, everything else seemed insignificant and meaningless.

Stussy, who had originally planned to come to the Sabaody Archipelago, had also been ordered by her superiors to remain in the New World because of this matter, continuing to monitor every move of the sea emperors.

Yes, the Cipher Pol agents currently in the New World were not merely monitoring Whitebeard alone. They were also monitoring Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin, as well as that man known for his battle power ever since his debut, a man whose strength gave even the World Government endless headaches, the Four Emperor Hundred Beasts Kaido.

The World Government was on edge day and night. They were terrified that the pirate crew whose name had already been erased from history by the government, the pirate crew that still filled them with dread even now whenever they thought about it, the Rocks Pirates founded by Rocks D. Xebec, the strongest pirate before the Pirate King Roger, would appear before them once again.

They feared that former members of the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Hundred Beasts Kaido, and Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, would join forces again and revive the nightmare of the Marines and the World Government.

And if the Rocks Pirates truly were revived, they would be even stronger than the original Rocks Pirates. After all, the Rocks of that era, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido were nowhere near as powerful as they were now.

Of course, none of that had anything to do with Jovian. There were only two things he wanted to do. The first was spend money, and the second was screw around.

"All right!"

After staring at Jovian’s carefree expression for a long while, the official agreed.

"However, I can only pay half the deposit up front."

"After you deal with Nico Robin, we will immediately give you the remaining half."

After thinking for a long time, the official made an extremely difficult decision.

"Celebrate. This is the most correct choice you’ve ever made."

Jovian stood up and gently patted the official’s shoulder, as if telling him, Kid, I have high hopes for you.

"I hope so..."

The official nodded gently. He had a vague feeling that he had been scammed.

After Jovian and the official reached an agreement, Jovian quickly received the money. Then...

Then Jovian turned around and took the money straight to the Pleasure District to enjoy himself.

"Hahaha..."

Jovian threw handfuls of cash into the sky, looking unbelievably carefree.

"Bring me the most beautiful women, and I want to drink the most expensive liquor!"

"I want the most expensive bottle service, and I want to sleep in the best bed!"

Jovian had never been a man greedy for money. However much he earned, he spent. He did not keep a single coin. He burned through it all completely. Not for any other reason, just for the thrill of it.

"Drink!"

After Jovian rented a parade float and stood on top of it, holding a beauty in one arm and scattering money with the other, the entire pleasure street filled with laughter and cheers.

"Mr. Jovian is paying tonight!"

"Ladies, drink as much as you want!"

The beauty in Jovian’s arms shouted loudly, calling for the other women of the pleasure street to come out and do business.

Glug, glug, glug...

Bowl after bowl. Cup after cup.

When everyone was half-drunk and half-awake, Jovian wrapped his arms around the beautiful women and walked into the room. On the largest, softest bed, an intense battle unfolded.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Rapid breathing, beads of sweat dripping from bodies. This was an extremely intense and exciting workout.

"This..."

The World Government official suddenly began to panic. He had not expected Jovian to take the money and immediately go looking for pleasure. This was far too unprofessional. For a moment, an ominous premonition rose in the official’s heart. He had a feeling that he might never get that money back. Not in this lifetime.

Drinking all day...

Banging all night...

As Jovian enjoyed himself to his heart’s content in the Pleasure District, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Disaster!"

After Jovian had disappeared for three days, the entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to come alive again.

Evil pirates began moving all over the place once more. At the same time, a group of monsters with bounties over one hundred million, known as Supernovas, had gathered on this tiny island.

And while Jovian was sound asleep, they had caused an earth-shaking incident.

"Mr. Jovian, this is bad!"

The World Government official hurried to Jovian’s door and began knocking hard. He looked panicked, as if something massive had happened.

"What is it?"

After the World Government official kept knocking and calling, Jovian rubbed his messy hair, pushed open the door, and looked at the official with some impatience.

"Mr. Jovian, this is very bad..."

"This is no longer about whether you capture Nico Robin or not. Now there is an even more important matter we hope to entrust to you!"

"Nico Robin’s captain, the Supernova with a three-hundred-million bounty, Straw Hat Luffy, he..."

"He actually punched a Celestial Dragon at the auction house!"

"Please, you must capture that boy. When the time comes, our World Government will certainly compensate you."

The World Government official spoke anxiously.

"Hahaha..."

"So it’s here, is it?!"

The moment Jovian heard that Straw Hat Luffy had arrived, he laughed loudly, and his figure vanished instantly from the World Government official’s eyes.

"Hm?!"

The World Government official stared at the spot where Jovian had vanished without a trace, his eyes wide. Drops of sweat spilled from his forehead. Only in this moment did he finally understand how powerful Jovian truly was.

He was simply a monster.

Elsewhere, at the auction house, the entire venue had fallen into chaos. Countless wealthy and powerful auction members were desperately fleeing the scene.

That was because, just now, that rookie pirate with a three-hundred-million bounty had done something unbelievably stupid.

He had punched a World Noble, a Celestial Dragon, to the ground.

This was a catastrophe, because if a Celestial Dragon was attacked, a Marine admiral would be sent after the attacker.

Marine admirals were the World Government’s greatest military force, monsters capable of contending with the sea emperors. If they did not run now, they might very well be caught in the aftermath caused by those monsters and die.

"Wow. Not bad."

"Too bad this guy passed out. Otherwise, I really would have liked to kick him too."

Just as the wealthy and powerful guests ran out of the auction house, leaving only a few pirate crews, the unconscious Celestial Dragon who had been punched by Luffy, and the twitching Celestial Dragon’s family members, a figure silently appeared in the room. He stepped directly onto the head of the Celestial Dragon Luffy had knocked down.

"W-Who are you?"

Everyone who had been thinking about how to escape froze when they saw the figure who had suddenly appeared.

"Who am I?"

"I’m probably your enemy."

The man wore a loose bathrobe and looked at the pirates in the room with an extremely casual expression.
