《Diamond Jozu (English)》Chapter twelve: Diamond Jozu
Advertisement
...
After getting used to this ship, Joz encountered a new problem: money. He had to buy furniture for his boat and other things, so he was in dire need of money. He had no base on him like his crew, and the money had already been taken on the old ship.
There were only a few thousand Berries.
In addition, the food was starting to dwindle rapidly.
Seeing Joz thinking about money, Robin pulled out a stack of bags (~ 10/15); each bag was worth at least 10,000 Berry. So there was more than 1,000,000 Berry in all.
The crew looked at Robin in admiration. The captain was right to frame her; she was solving the problems one after the other.
'Long live Robin,' some members thought.
..
"Captain, where are we going?" David asked. They were now very far from the kingdom of Prek, and it was time to determine the next island.
Joz wanted to complete his revenge mission as quickly as possible, so he asked Robin about this family.
"I heard that the headquarters of the Bena family was on Uruk Island," Robin said, frowning slightly.
Fortunately, she had a good memory since she was little; otherwise, she wouldn't give such information.
Joz was immediately delighted and asked David if there was a card onboard.
"Yes, captain!" David quickly pulled out the map he had taken from the old boat.
Of course, the map was simplified, but there were still most of the surrounding islands.
Joz found the island robin talked about and asked, "David, are we far from Uruk Island?"
"No, the island is not very far."
"Very well, let's go to the island from now on," Joz said.
With the speed of the Diamond Rusher, they will arrive faster than expected.

"Heard captain," David replied, heading for the rudder.
David was excited to be driving such a big ship.
The ship's sails had swelled, and it accelerated with speed five times faster than the previous ship.
..
They had decided to stop over on a nearby island, so they could buy whatever they needed.
After a good night's rest, the next day, the Diamond Rusher continued to sail the seas with panache.
In the air, the bird giving the news gave the newspaper to Robin.
In the newspaper, Robin saw that the navy had published a new bounty.
The bounty of a certain Joz: After all, the kingdom of Prek had been in impossible chaos; more than a thousand people had died (including the nobles or people of high rank). This affair had a tremendous impact on the kingdom's future (There were foreign nobles and others with deep 'backgrounds').
"Captain, you have a bounty on your head; it's 50 million Berry," Robin said.
"That 50 million Berry?" Joz asked darkly. This sea was not East Blue, so there were several pirates with a bounty of 50 million. He thought that with this massacre and the pressure from the various nobles, the navy would put in at least 70 million.
At West Blue, the highest bounty (active pirate) was around 90 million Berry.
But what Joz had forgotten was that this bonus was his first. It was, therefore, really very high for a first premium.
To get a high bounty, there are two ways:
- power: the navy increases the premium because it seems that the person is powerful and therefore dangerous (example: Luffy)
- murder: the navy increases your bonus if you commit a lot of atrocity towards civilians (example: Kidd)
For Joz, this was the second option. More than 1000 murders in a few hours. For the navy, it was a severe crime (especially with the pressure of the nobles).

Although his strength was good, after all, he only had to face simple gladiators and civilians, so the navy didn't feel threatened.
..
"Captain, there is an island; would you like to go?" David shouted, holding the monocular.
"Let's go," said Joz, he had to refuel, and this island was going downhill.
As the ship moved forward, the island became more apparent, and they could see that it was small, and there seemed to be only one town.
After entering the harbor, Joz could see that there were plenty of other boats moored. Most were merchant ships, and workers could be seen moving goods.
Eight people had been left on the boat to watch him, and Joz went into town with the rest of the crew.
The city was quite large (relative to the island) and seemed prosperous. Many stores were perfect for Joz, who wanted to 'stock up' (= buy) the missing things.
