Chapter 13: Varen’s Backing

Location: Pirate Island in the New World

"As for the money, I don't need a lot. I'll give you the 30 million Berries, and I'll only charge the intelligence fee that I should have." After speaking, the enchanting mature woman immediately took out 30 million Berries and handed it to Varen.

It's not that she didn't need the money, but the money was too risky to keep.

"Interesting."

Varen took a meaningful look at the woman in front of him and had to admit that she was very shrewd. If she really kept the money, it would be problematic when the Golden Lion Pirates came to her.

Although she liked money, she at least knew what she could take and what she couldn't.

And Varen didn't show any politeness, taking the package of Berries and leaving the bar directly.

As for the Golden Lion Pirates? Yes, they were very strong.

But so what?

The small fry he just dealt with had a backing, didn't he have one?

No, Varen not only had a backing but the largest backing in the world - Naval Headquarters!

If the Golden Lion really intended to cause trouble over an unknown pirate with a bounty of tens of millions, then they would have to ask Naval Headquarters if they agreed!

Do not forget! Now Varen was Kong's candidate for the future Fleet Admiral, and the Marine Admiral Zephyr and hero Garp were considered his current mentors.

Not to mention the entire Naval Headquarters, I'm afraid even Garp, the Golden Lion may not be able to handle it.

After all, the current Garp is the hero who defeated the Rocks! Both Golden Lion and Whitebeard were just crew members under Rocks.

"By the way, I forgot to deal with a few pests. But it's not too late to handle it now."

Just when everyone thought Varen was leaving, suddenly, his unhurried and gentle voice came from the door.

Boom!

In the next second, a wave of blue Reiatsu fell directly from the sky, targeting the more than twenty pirates.

Without the slightest chance to react, in just a moment, the twenty or so pirates were all instantly turned into plasma under Varen's Reiatsu.

After doing all this, Varen left the place completely.

Only the tavern owner, trembling with fear, and the indistinguishable corpses of the pirates remained.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, the tavern owner still felt a chill in his heart.

If Varen had wanted to erase all traces just now, he might have become one of these horrible corpses.

"It seems that I can't stay here any longer. Take away all the money from this pirate group and leave!" The tavern owner thought for a while, looking at the scattered corpses and letting out a sigh.

Such a big incident happened, even if according to the rules it had nothing to do with her, if the Golden Lion decided to cause trouble, she had no way to resist.

It just so happened that all the members of this pirate group were dead, so it wouldn't be difficult to use her means to get rid of the remaining small fry on the ship and steal their treasure.

With this money, she didn't need to run a tavern here. She could also hide from the Golden Lion Pirates.

No way, the reputation of the Golden Lion Pirates was too great. As the most terrifying pirate in the New World, if she provoked such a force, a small person like her would only be crushed to death like an ant.

...

Of course, the follow-up in the tavern naturally had nothing to do with Varen.

With 30 million Berries, Varen also went directly to the stores specially set up for supplies, spending about an hour purchasing the needed items.

In this way, all the purposes of his visit were successfully achieved.

Not only did he secure the necessary supplies, but he also got a lot of Berries and the whereabouts of Kaido.

Although the truth about Kaido's whereabouts was uncertain, it was much better than aimlessness.

What's more, he had a whole year to be active in the New World, and he only needed to return to Naval Headquarters after one year to participate in the final assessment of the elite camp and be assigned an official position.

Without any further stops, after putting everything on the boat, Varen set sail and left the island.

...

Simultaneously Somewhere in the New World, above the sky

"Dr. Indigo, what are you looking for me for?" A heavy voice came from the bow.

A man with long golden hair like a lion's mane stood on the bow of the ship, wearing traditional Japanese clothes with orange and yellow stripes. He looked like a golden-haired lion!

In fact, he was known worldwide because of this appearance, the captain of the Flying Pirates - the admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Fleet.

"A pirate group affiliated with us has been wiped out."

Hmm?

Hearing this, the Golden Lion frowned.

However, his expression didn't change much, he just said lightly, "What's wrong with being killed? The weak eat the strong, isn't it normal to be killed in this sea area of the New World? In this sea area, do you know how many pirate groups are wiped out and how many new ones enter the Grand Line every day?"

To be honest, the Golden Lion was used to this kind of thing.

"Who is the other party? People from Roger Pirates or Whitebeard?" the Golden Lion asked subconsciously.

After all, within the scope of the New World, only these two forces were qualified to provoke him.

"It seems they don't belong to these two groups. It appears to be a boy with no reputation at all. I'm afraid he wants to take advantage of the fame of our Golden Lion Pirates this time," Indigo replied.

Such individuals often appeared, targeting some of the small pirate groups under the three major pirates to make a name for themselves.
