It was an extremely common sight in the One Piece World, with the Marine Headquarters issuing a bounty and the bounty hunters chasing after it.
But the bounty hunter profession is supposed to wander between the light and darkness. There are strong solo travelers, unseen underground assassins, and even many people who are sought-after bounty hunters themselves.
If they are allowed to carry the heads of pirates to the Marine Headquarters to collect the bounty, it may let the Marine throw them into prison smoothly.
Therefore, the Hunter Guild, a half-official and half-dark agency, came into being.
The power behind the guild is very complex. The main one is naturally the World Government, a behemoth that, in a sense, acts as a white glove for those big shots.
Then there are the great nobles of those kingdoms, the great merchants who span several seas, and even the Urashakai no Teiō-Tachi (Emperors of the Underworld).
Because of this, although most of the Hunter Guild bounty is given by the Marine Headquarters secretly, there are many assassinations of the leaders of rival powers or spying for the intelligence of enemy countries and other types of underground bounties.
............……
In the first half of the Grand Line, there is a kingdom located in the central part of the sea. This place is where the famous Florian Triangle is located with countless pirates, and even known as the 'Pirate Sea' by the outside world!
Therefore, in the Hunter Guild branch in this pirates' den, the tasks submitted are naturally dominated by underground bounties.
To say some irony, this Hunter Guild is the most often visited by the pirates, who smile and watch those who exchange bounties and then speculate on the strength to consider whether to go to take advantage or not.
Even if it is not open for business, they can sit down while drinking and talking nonsense.
However, the guild branch, which has always been noisy and crowded, is now so silent that even when a pin drops on the ground, they can clearly hear it.
It was all because of the man sitting on the front stage wearing a mask with a ghost face.
"Gulp! Is that guy really the Demon Sword Apophis? He will not go mad and kill us all, right? It is rumored that every time he kills people, it is as terrible as a massacre! The pirate captain, who has a terrifying reputation that makes children stop crying in the nearby seas, is now whispering warily, not even daring to raise his head for fear of being killed for looking directly at that man's gaze.
"I don't know, it's best not to run into that kind of monster, I heard that after Barlow the Ogre with a bounty of 92 million bellies, was targeted by him, his screams before he died even reached a kilometer away, it's hard to imagine what kind of torture can make that kind of vicious pirate scream in pain and beg for mercy." The pirate beside him shivered, and it was as if that vicious wailing was echoing in his ears again.
"I am Apophis, you should all have heard of my name, I now intend to set up my own pirates and set sail in the direction of the Pirate King, so I need to recruit some experienced crew members......"
Hearing Apophis says he intends to recruit crews, the people in Hunter Guild are close to stirred up. That is a powerful man. Not even the pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million are not his opponent as a strong adventurer!
Although Apophis is rumored to be very cruel, but cruelty among pirates is synonymous with strength, for most pirates prefer to follow a strong and cruel captain rather than a weak and casual boss.
If they can board Apophis' ship, they may be able to become the future generals of a large pirate crew!
"Lord Apophis, who is powerful, my...... my bounty although only 27 million bellies, but I have always aspired to your might, please allow me to follow you!" Little-known pirates excitedly came forward to request.
Apophis' indifferent voice emerges from beneath his mask, "I don't care if you are strong or weak, even if it's the Barlow the Ogre, for me it's just the choice between one or two swords!" Apophis' indifferent voice came from under his mask.

Now, the crowd has become even more overwhelmed.
"Lord Apophis, please accept me. I am Ross, the Grave Keeper with a reward of 35 million bellies!"
"And me, please take me with you to witness your legend!"
Soon, he took most of the pirates under Apophis' banner, and with a slight nod, he said, "The manpower is almost complete. The next problem is the ships, only the top-class warships built by Jewel Tree Adam will be worthy of my identity."
Although not aware of the meaning of Apophis to bring up this topic, there are still the newly joined lackeys flattered, "That is, of course, the legendary Pirate King Roger sailing on a ship built by the Jewel Tree Adam to complete the Grand Line. Lord Apophis should naturally have the same top-class ships."
Apophis nodded approvingly, "There is news of the Jewel Tree Adam at the auction in the Water 7, and it is estimated that it should sell for a sky-high price of 300 million bellies. You will first give me the money you have to take the Jewel Tree Adam, and when I am in a good mood and casually go to kill a few pirates with bounties of over 100 million, then I will double the money back to you."
Hearing this, those pirates are a little hesitant.
"What? My first order as the captain doesn't work anymore? You should know that 300 million bellies are just a small amount of money to me, and I'm just eager to go to the auction for that Jewel Tree Adam now."
"This......" bunch of pirates look at each other, some unsure of the idea.
CRACK~~~
The door pushed open, and a tall man with a suitcase walked in, wearing the same similar ghost face mask on his face.
Seeing this, all the pirates were sweeping their eyes between the two with suspicious eyes before the previous enthusiasm began to dissipate.
The masked man with the ghost face sitting at the front of the table had a secret regret in his mind, 'calmly' rotated over, stepped off from the bar chair, and went straight to the tall man with the suitcase.
After standing up, the man with the ghost face mask realized that the other side was at least 2.4m tall, and he himself was less than 1.8m tall in front of him with a full sense of pressure.
'Gulp!' The man with the ghost mask gulped indisputably and said in a low voice, "Brother, you're overstep your bounds there; this is my place, the territory of Jack of Hundred Faces."
When the tall man did not answer, the man with the ghost face mask gritted his teeth. He said, "Okay, I can tell you're tough, and I'll give you two or eight...... up to three or seven...... but I can't give you any less...... behave and leave it a good deal later to meet, five or five is really my last bottom line, it is not a big deal to split up."
After the man with the ghost-faced mask kept changing his bottom line, the tall man acting like a puppet on a string finally spoke, "You're blocking my way!"
The man with the ghost face mask, which was still relieved because the tall man finally let go, asked with confusion, "What did you say?"
Finally, the tall man lowered his head, and he looked at the man with the ghost face mask who felt it froze his soul. His mind was terrified and horrified. It was a pair of eyes filled with heartless and bloodthirsty tears as if they bred all the ominous in the world.
Even more frightening is that the owner of those eyes can remain calm as if he is imprisoning the world's most terrifying demons with the most peaceful mind.
This guy can't really be the Demon Sword Apophis, right?
