Shamando, who had never seen such a bloody scene before, stood frozen.
After witnessing Kronos deal with Sdeku and Wujou Satoru and the others take care of dozens of bandits, fear had completely faded.
She stood blankly behind the counter, watching the backs of Kronos and the others as they left.
It seemed even the events unfolding before her were hard to believe now.
Shamando's son, however, reacted differently from Shamando.
At this moment, his eyes were shining.
Faced with the bloody scene, he didn't feel scared at all.
In fact, he was excited!
His eyes twinkled as he watched Kronos and the others leave, full of admiration.
"Amazing! Awesome! Incredible!!"
"Is this a pirate?!"
"So strong!!!"
The boy's words immediately snapped Shamando out of her daze.
But this time, she did nothing.
She just quietly watched the boy, not trying to curb his admiration for them.
However, at this moment, Shamando's mind suddenly recalled what the bandit had shouted earlier.
'Kronos?!'
'That name... it seems familiar...'
Shamando lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
She pondered the name in her mind, trying to recall where she had heard it.
After thinking for a while, a page of a newspaper suddenly flashed in her mind.
Immediately, she raised her head sharply and looked in the direction where Kronos and the others had gone.
Although Kronos and his group were no longer in sight, Shamando's pupils contracted sharply.
"Could it be? Could I have seen it in the newspaper?!"
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Shamando froze on the spot.
Seeing his mother's reaction, the boy couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What's the matter, Mom?"
Hearing her son's question, Shamando subconsciously murmured.
"I... I think I remember where I've seen them before..."
As soon as Shamando said these words, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really?!"
Shamando turned her head and gave the boy a deep look for the first time.
Then she turned around and began rummaging through the cabinet beside her.
At that moment, she looked just like the boy—equally eager to find out who they were!
Soon, Shamando pulled out a large stack of newspapers.
These were all the newspapers she had kept and read over the past month.
Seeing Shamando digging through so many newspapers, the boy suddenly wore a puzzled expression.
"A newspaper? For this..."
Before the boy could finish his sentence, he suddenly remembered.
Since they were pirates and his mother said she had seen them, it was highly likely that she had seen them in the newspaper!
Thinking this, the boy didn't ask any more questions.
He immediately began rummaging through the papers with Shamando.
It didn't take long.
They found the newspaper that reported on Kronos.
But when they saw the information in the newspaper, their pupils contracted sharply in disbelief.
"K... Kronos, Captain of the Kamui Pirates, Bounty... Bounty..."
"237 million Berry?!"
As Shamando spoke the bounty amount, her hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly.
She could never have imagined that such a young man, with such a youthful appearance, would have such a terrifying bounty on his wanted poster!
Over 200 million!
What about Sdeku?
39 million Berry!
Did they really let Kronos go?
Let a pirate with a bounty of 237 million Berry escape while facing a Bandit King with a bounty of no more than 39 million Berry?!
How ludicrous and absurd was that?!
Thinking about this, Shamando's eyes widened.
She couldn't help but look in the direction where Kronos and the others had gone, murmuring softly.
"So... it's them."
"The big pirate with a bounty of up to 237 million Berry..."
Evening.
On the coast where the Kamui Pirates' ship was docked, the Animal Path (Tiandao Payne) entered the captain's room where Kronos was, to report on the situation regarding the ten pirates.
"Six of them tried to run?"
"Quite a few of them."
Kronos murmured to himself.
The Animal Path, standing by, spoke up.
"The remaining four are purchasing the necessary supplies and are now on their way back."
Kronos nodded and slowly stood up.
"Let's go!"
"Let's see what these four who didn't try to escape are up to."
