I Promised to Win with Roger… But I Was Just a Kid

Two weeks later,

A pirate ship flying a skull and crossbones flag blocked their way.

"It's the Bone Crusher Pirates!" Rhett shouted from the observation deck, "Bone Crusher Hank, with a bounty of 980,000 Bellies!"

After landing on the island, Rhett collected intelligence carefully and spent a thousand Bellies to buy a dozen bounty orders and intelligence of the more famous pirates on the sea.

On the deck, a 3-meter-tall burly man carrying a mace grinned, "Roger? Never heard of you! Hand over your treasures! I can let you die more easily."

Roger picked his nose and said, "Rayleigh, you going to work today? I don't feel like moving today."

"Let the kid try. He's been jumping around a lot lately. I'm getting tired of sparring with him." Rayleigh pushed his glasses. "Now let's see how strong Rhett is."

Rhett took a deep breath and walked to the bow.

"Just send a young boy? Don't you have anyone on board? Hahahaha." Hank laughed, "I can easily defeat him with just one blow--"

"You are so noisy, Mist Realm Silent Cage."

In an instant, a hundred meters in radius was shrouded in thick fog. Hank suddenly found that his voice had disappeared, and even the sound of the mace breaking through the wind could not be heard.

What was even more terrifying was that his skin began to feel a tingling sensation - the mist was penetrating his pores!

"Damn it!" He swung his weapon wildly, but couldn't hit anything.

"Ah!!" Hank suddenly fell to his knees and screamed, his eyes and respiratory tract felt like they were burning with pain.

Rhett walked to the bow, his four-year-old body dwarfed by the giant man.

Rhett sighed "You know what? In manga, trash like you..."!

"These are all experience packs for the protagonist."

"How does it feel to be deprived of your sense of sight, hearing, and touch?" The tender voice of a child floated in the fog. "By the way, the pH value of the fog is 3.5 now..."

Hank rolled his bloodshot eyes wildly, but he could only see a small black shadow moving in the white mist. The shadow sometimes appeared on the port side, sometimes flashed at the top of the mast, like a ghost in the mist.

Rhett enjoyed the feeling of being able to move freely in his own field. Rhett became more persistent in becoming stronger. He would not let his life be controlled by others. He wanted to stand at the top of the world.

Hank swung his mace wildly "You little devil! Come out!"

"You probably don't know what pH 3.5 means..." Rhett's voice was tinged with sympathy. "Illiteracy is terrible."

Suddenly, Hank felt a sharp pain in his eyes, followed by a burning sensation in his respiratory tract. He fell to his knees, screaming silently. The acid particles in the mist were corroding his mucous membranes!

"Aaaaaa——!"

"Monster...monster!" Hank's screams were absorbed by the mist and turned into silent despair.

When the fog cleared, only corpses were left on the deck. In the distance, a small boat quickly sailed away. Rhett noticed it but did not stop it. What a joke! People are dead. Who knows the reputation of Lord Rhett?

Roger whistled "Is the bounty going to go up now?"

Rayleigh nodded with satisfaction: "Using the fruit power to make up for the lack of Haki... a good idea."

South Blue, 77th Naval Branch Base.

Branch Colonel Gruss strode into the conference room.

At the conference table, more than a dozen naval officers stood up and saluted in unison, but all of them looked extremely solemn.

"Everyone sit down!" Colonel Gruss threw the documents on the table, and the metal prosthesis hit the table with a harsh sound.

"Can anyone tell me -" His one eye swept across everyone present, "Why can a four-year-old kid wipe out the Bone Crushers in three minutes?!"

This is a three-member pirate group. How can a new pirate group have such strength? Why haven't I heard of it before? This is a serious dereliction of duty on our part."

Intelligence officer Major Morris wiped the sweat from his forehead and trembled as he flipped through the files: "Based on what our intelligence officers have seen...

The battle was accompanied by a large amount of fog, so our army temporarily codenamed him "Ghost in the Mist". He is suspected to be the user of the natural Mist Mist Fruit, Roger's crew member Rhett.

"He pressed the projection phone-mushi button, and in the blurry image, a short figure could be vaguely seen on the sea surface covered by thick fog.

He could see that the pirate in the picture was in great pain, and the short figure appeared and disappeared in the fog.

The intelligence officer continued to report, we returned to the Bone Crushers ship again and found that in addition to the treasures and food that had been emptied by them, the pirates' eyes, mouths and noses were all damaged and corroded, and the corrosion had already reached the brain, with the lungs being the most seriously injured organ."

"We must reassess the threat level!" Colonel Gruss of the 77th Branch of South Blue slammed the table and roared, and immediately sent the message back to the headquarters, "That little brat who can come and go freely in the fog is actually a ghost!"

The staff officer trembled as he handed over the newly drawn wanted poster:

["Scarlet Mist" Rhett]

[Reward: 3 million Belly]

[Features: black hair, red eyes in the fog, often accompanied by thick fog, treacherous means]

[Regardless of the life or death of the members of Roger's Pirates]

Three days later, the bounty of Roger's pirate group floated on the sea.

"Hahahaha! Little Rhett, have you seen your bounty?" Roger slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, "Scarlet Mist! 3 million Bellies! It's really scary to have such a bounty at the age of four!"

Rhett curled his lips, looking at his blurred figure on the wanted poster and the eye-catching line "Alive or Dead", and couldn't help complaining "The Navy's photography skills are really bad, I'm so handsome, why do I look like a ghost in the photo? Can't they take a clear picture of my face? No one recognizes me when I walk on the street, what's the point of a high bounty?"

Rayleigh pushed up his glasses and smiled slightly, "Not bad, it sounds much better than 'white fog'."

"That's right!" Rhett was a little unwilling, "'Scarlet Mist', it sounds very cool! Oh my god, don't let me catch you, the navy, if you catch me, it will be more than just a pain."

Rhett glanced at Roger and Rayleigh's bounty and drew his head back.

'What? One is 150 million, the other is 100 million. In comparison, my 3 million seems reasonable. I was originally very proud of my bounty'

Roger suddenly came over, put his arms around Rhett's neck, and asked with a smile "Kid, why did you report your pH value when you killed someone?"

Rhett rolled his eyes. "Don't ask. It's cooler to just shout it out!"

'Please, this is a hot-blooded manga, a hot-blooded manga, you can't get excited unless you shout out the names of the moves (it's so exciting, it really makes people laugh).'

Roger and Rayleigh did not think that Rhett's methods were cruel. Please, this is the world of pirates, where the strong prey on the weak. Only by using such methods can one survive. Look at what will happen in this era. When you want to kill me, it is none of your business what means I use to kill you. After I kill you, all your fame, status and wealth will belong to me. This is pirates.
