That kind of reward, Capone Bege wouldn't want it!
Eric, of course, knew this. Only those who have been wronged know how wronged they truly are.
Shaking his head, Eric temporarily put Bege's matter aside.
With him as a whistleblower, this guy won't be caught for a while. No problem.
Even if he's unfortunately caught, he can crush his heart and kill the other party.
Even if he doesn't have time to clean up his tail, then exposure is exposure. He'll take Robin and establish a family in a new place.
No one can stop him!
"The problem is Kuzan. This guy is most likely coming for Robin."
Thinking of this, he immediately called his wife and children over and held a family meeting in the villa's living room.
He decided to have all the family members enter the shadow space.
Robin had no objections to this decision.
After arranging the family matters, Eric called his confidant, Calvin, to the villa.
He gave some instructions and informed him that headquarters would be coming soon.
"Did your wife get exposed?" Calvin's face tightened. Nico Robin is a big bomb.
"Didn't you see the news?"
Eric threw the newspaper at him.
After reading it, Calvin's face was numb: "The West Sea King, Capone Bege?"
"I'm going to leave for a few days to chase after this pirate who looted the Sky Island gold transport ship. If headquarters comes asking, just answer like this."
Eric didn't explain. Bege was his dark hand. There's no need to explain such things.
"I understand. Please rest assured!"
...
...
Eric left as he said he would.
The appearance of Shinpu made him make a major decision.
The West Sea, this sea area really doesn't have any suitable aged females who appeared in the plot.
He wanted to marry a second wife, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Since he couldn't find one in the West Sea, he would go to another sea!
Shinpu, transformed into a black dragon, could carry him to any place he wanted to reach.
This time, Eric was going to the North Sea.
As everyone knows, in this pirate planet, the Grand Line and Red Line intersect, dividing the entire world's sea areas into the four seas of East, South, West and North.
Of these, the West Sea is adjacent to the North Sea, separated by a New World sea area.
As long as you can cross the Calm Belt, you can easily reach the North Sea.
...
...
North Sea.
Germa Kingdom.
This is a unique country in the world. It has no fixed territory and usually operates separately on dozens of ships. When they merge together, they become a sea kingdom.
The ruler of this country is named Vinsmoke Judge.
This family is the most intimidating family in the North Sea, and Judge, the head of the family, has an eldest daughter named Vinsmoke Reiju.
This year, she is 17 years old!
At this moment.
King's Castle, Vinsmoke family dinner.
Eldest daughter Reiju, eldest son Ichiji, second son Niji, fourth son Yonji, and their father Judge were all enjoying dinner together.
The four children didn't dare to speak, they just ate in silence. They were all afraid of their father.
Judge, however, wasn't eating. He was holding a newspaper, his expression astonished.
The West Sea King, Capone Bege?
He dared to loot the Sky Island gold. It's simply… admirable!
No, admirable!
If he could, he would even do it himself.
After all, scientific research is very expensive.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare. Attacking the Sky Island gold, what awaits him is the World Government's thunderous strike.
Suddenly.
Screams of soldiers could be heard from outside.
"What happened?" Judge's expression darkened.
"It's not good, Your Majesty, there's a dragon… a black dragon attacking us!" An official in a white lab coat ran in to report.
"What? A black dragon?"
Judge frowned and suddenly remembered the newspaper.
In the newspaper, a man covered in black was riding a black dragon attacking a warship, and in front of the Navy Admiral Kuzan, he sank the warship!
Without a doubt, this is a civilian expert, a top expert in the sea!
"I'll go see for myself…"
Judge snorted coldly, just as he got up, he heard a "boom."
A black dragon charged in from the window, smashing through the castle walls.
Its body, ten meters long, made the dinner restaurant seem crowded.
"No need, I'm here."
Eric jumped off the dragon's back and stood straight in front of everyone.
"Sure enough, it's the dragon from the news…" Judge was startled, then stared intently at the black dragon behind Eric.
"Nice to meet you, Vinsmoke Judge."
Eric greeted calmly, the black shadow covering his body slowly retreated from under his feet.
Judge frowned: "Who are you?"
"My name is Proudmoore Eric, a Navy Headquarters Colonel."
"What? Impossible!"
Judge was shocked upon hearing this: "Navy Colonel? Since you're a Navy, why would you attack Kuzan's warship?"
Unless, the news is fake.
But it can't be fake. The Sky Island gold transport ship was attacked, this kind of thing is related to the World Government's reputation.
Who would dare to fake the government's reputation?
What's the purpose?
Judge couldn't understand at all. He could only stare at Eric.
Eric shook his head and said: "I'm short of money, so I attacked the Sky Island gold, grabbed a lot of gold, and found a pirate to take the blame for me."
Judge: "..."
The entire place was silent.
The unbelievable words made Judge's brain go blank for a moment.
Crazy, right?
Too crazy!
Just because he's short of money, he dares to rob the Sky Island gold?
He also lacks research funds. Give him ten guts, he wouldn't dare!
However, what shocked him even more than these words was that the other party actually said it in front of him.
Judge's face darkened, sensing that something was amiss.
"Germa Kingdom is a member state of the World Government. As the king of a member state, are you not afraid that I will tell the government about this?"
"You deliberately found a pirate to take the blame for you, clearly you don't want to be exposed."
"Now you deliberately tell me… what's your purpose!?"
While speaking, Judge had already picked up the weapon beside him, a technologically advanced spear.
"Don't be nervous."
Eric smiled, saying: "Don't you want to ask why I'm short of money? And what do I need this money for?"
"...What do you want to do?" Judge pondered for a moment, but couldn't help asking.
He was genuinely curious.
And this seemed to be related to the other party's intention.
"I want to propose marriage to you."
Eric raised his hand, and the black shadow under his feet instantly expanded, revealing countless gold bars neatly stacked within the shadow.
Gold!
A lot of gold!
At least a ton of gold!
Judge was stunned, his ears were ringing.
Propose marriage?
He subconsciously looked at his four children, to be precise, he looked at Reiju.
He has only one daughter.
Vinsmoke Reiju was also stunned.
A man suddenly appeared, bringing a ton of gold bars to propose marriage. Anyone would be stunned.
"I don't think I've ever seen you before…" Reiju couldn't help but say.
"You're seeing me now."
Eric was very calm and asked calmly: "How about it? Vinsmoke Judge, do you want to marry into our Proudmoore family?"
Marry into!
Judge's eyes flashed, his mind recovered.
"What if I refuse?"
Eric's lips curled up: "You'll all die, and I'll take your daughter and marry her."
Reiju: "..."
Judge: "..."
He's really crazy!
He's worthy of being the man who dared to rob the Sky Island gold!!
