Konoha: I Have Hidden Identity

Chapter 27.

The sky was clear and the sea was calm.

Here is the West Sea among the four great seas, and Suzuki has been away from the Sabody Islands for more than a month already. Unlike the Grand Line, the weather in the West Sea is quite predictable, not like the Grand Line's seasons that change too frequently.

More than a month ago, Suzuki received a call from the second-hand boat dealer informing him that he had found a merchant ship heading to the West Sea and urged him to come quickly.

Suzuki did not delay, packed his things, and quickly boarded the merchant ship. He settled the price with the captain, and soon arrived at the West Sea.

Suzuki has been in the West Sea for a while and has a rough understanding of the average level here.

Although the West Sea is almost the strongest among the four great seas, it is still quite inferior compared to the Grand Line.

Currently, the highest bounty in the West Sea belongs to the leader of the Kano country's Happo Navy—Don Chinjao, a legendary pirate who is now living in retirement in the West Blue.

Because in the West Blue, Don Chinjao is the strongest, posing the greatest threat to Suzuki. If they meet, he might be killed instantly, so Suzuki has collected the most information about Chinjao.

A few years ago, Chinjao had a heated battle with Garp, resulting in Chinjao's sharp head being flattened by Garp's punch.

This was a prized possession that the pirate took great pride in, and the Happo Navy's treasure has been stored in a thick iceberg. That iceberg is incredibly hard; only Don Chinjao can open it with his sharp head.

But now his sharp edge has been flattened by Garp, not only has his spirit weakened, but his strength has also declined, to the point where he can't even bring out his treasures. The current Don Chinjao rarely leaves the Kano country and basically just wanders around the nearby areas.

Of course, Garp was very serious during their duel back then!

What Garp often boasts about, "When I was young, I shattered several mountains just to train my fists," is actually related to Don Chinjao.

Iron Fist Garp had also done adequate preparation before dueling with the legendary pirate Don Chinjao.

So Don Chinjao, especially the Don Chinjao from a few years ago, was indeed very strong!

Although over twenty years later, even Garp's grandson Luffy can't defeat him, at this time Don Chinjao still possesses the strength of at least the strongest in the West Sea.

Not to mention that before the duel with Garp, Don Chinjao was at his peak in terms of spirit, domineering presence, and abilities. He even had Conqueror's Haki, and in terms of strength, he could match Jinbe from the future Straw Hat crew.

Such a pirate, in this era before Roger's death, would be firmly among the top super pirates!

If it weren't for the fact that Don Chinjao is the leader of the Happo Navy of the Kano country, he might even be directly captured and imprisoned by the Navy.

Aside from Don Chinjao, there are actually quite a few strong individuals left in the West Sea, but Suzuki didn't want to pay much attention to them now.

Because these people's current strength may not be much stronger than his.

For example, Gecko Moria, who is also from the West Sea and eventually becomes one of the Seven Warlords, is an ability user of the Kage Kage no mi.

Currently, Moria is still a rookie, and without having gone through experiences in the Grand Line, he possesses a bounty in only millions, not reaching the hundred million mark.

Not to mention his later encounters with Kaido, that would have to wait until after Roger's death, and then another three to four years.

Next is Sanjuan Wolf, who is a giant as well as a Devil Fruit user, also a strong individual from the West Sea.

Sanjuan Wolf is saved from Impel Down by Blackbeard in the future, and then he joins Blackbeard's crew, serving as the captain of the No. 7 ship, with considerable strength.

Currently, this "giant warship" is still just starting to gain some fame, roaming around the West Sea in search of food and is even more gluttonous than wapol.

wapol eats castles, houses, and ships, while he directly devours islands!

He eats everything on the islands, including soil, houses, forests, peaks, and animals, and even people are not spared!

Sanjuan Wolf doesn't do much in the West Sea, but everything he does is a horrific event.

At present, the only ones stronger than Suzuki, but not by much, are Moria and Sanjuan Wolf.

Then there's Shanks, who is still an intern on Roger's ship.

Diamond Jozu has also already joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Devil's sherrif Lafitte from the Blackbeard Pirates is still in the West Sea, but his strength is only comparable to Suzuki's.

Later, Capone Bege enters the Grand Line in the same year as the Straw Hat crew and becomes one of the eleven pirate supernovas known as worst generation.

Although his family's mafia influence is decent, his current strength may not even match Suzuki's.

Characters like Brook the skeleton, Robin with the Hana Hana no mi, and the Navy beauty Tina are even less worth considering.

There are quite a few pirates with this type of strength currently in the West Sea, but later on, many were eliminated during the fierce competition.

Compared to pirates in the East Sea with bounties in the tens of millions, they stand out as unusually strong.

A bounty of tens of millions is only considered entry-level strength in the West Sea.

However, many ambitious pirates, much like those yearning for the Grand Line, will eventually leave the West Sea once they reach a certain level.

Aside from Don Chinjao, the West Sea doesn't pose much danger to Suzuki at the moment.

After understanding the situation, Suzuki's actions in the West Sea were no longer silent.

Where to inquire for information?

Without hesitation, Suzuki chose a local major force in the West Sea.

He is currently a guest at a transportation company in the West Sea, which primarily engages in maritime business.

Although it's not very large, as it hasn't involved other sea areas.

However, in the West Sea, this transportation company is quite good, with its operational range covering almost the entire West Sea.

Moreover, they not only engage in maritime transport but also conduct mail and related services.

Such a transportation company knows a lot about intelligence within its operating range and various miscellaneous news.

After all, they are always on the move, and the company employs many people.

In an era when things like computers were not yet even born in one brain cell, if one wanted to quickly obtain useful and accurate information, of course, they had to come to find them.

In a magnificent building, in the boss's room on the eleventh floor, suzuki was sitting in a chair, looking at the chubby man opposite who was sweating profusely and appeared very panicked.

Seeing that he seemed extremely flustered and dared not move from his spot, Suzuki comforted him in a very gentle tone:

"Sir, don't panic, I just came to ask for directions."

"Although my way of entering might not be very friendly, you must believe that I rarely take someones life that easily."
