Chapter 5 Bloodline
"Uh...huh?"
After all that was said, Capone assumed Allen's next move was to ask him to become his underling, but...
30/70 split?
In their underworld mindset, the loser doesn't even have the right to live.
The 30/70 split is exaggerated, but compared to the imagined death, it's only 40% less than originally expected...
It seems... alright.
……
The wisdom of the ancients.
Allen deliberately built up the atmosphere to the point of decapitation, then played the "split" card, making Capone subconsciously feel that he hadn't lost much.
Capone hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "Thirty percent... that's too little, could you add a little more?"
Even a small loss is still a loss, so since there's room for negotiation, it's essential to fight for one's own interests.
Allen's eyelids drooped slightly, his smile forced and insincere.
"If you ask again, there's a 30% chance none."
If you want to extort 10,000, then you must get 10,000, not a penny less, otherwise it will only show your weakness!
……
……
"Could I have a cigarette?"
Capone extended his hand, demonstrating his decision through action.
Capone looked at the ordinary cigarettes handed to him with disdain.
For people like them who enjoy smoking cigars, regular cigarettes are something only women smoke.
But he didn't show it and obediently took the torch.
Smoke drifted up from the dimly lit dungeon.
……
"I mean... with your strength, you were only a lieutenant colonel before? Those guys in the Navy are really blind."
Capone took a deep drag of his cigarette as he spoke.
Although he didn't initially intend to hurt Allen, he lost his temper after his underlings rushed in and were defeated.
He had a clear understanding of his own abilities, roughly equivalent to a naval colonel, yet he was defeated so decisively, without any ability to resist.
This kid is definitely not at the level of an ordinary school officer!
Allen led Capone out of the cell and casually remarked, "If strength determined rank, Capone wouldn't be a lieutenant general."
"The Navy isn't your Mafia, where might makes right... Well, actually, no matter where you are, might makes right rises."
"I'm not familiar with you, so there's no need to continue this topic."
……
As Capone emerged from the dungeon, he found the sky beginning to lighten...
Has so much time passed?
He had a vague feeling that the timeline didn't quite add up, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

At the port, after dealing with Capone's matter, Allen came to see Smoker off.
"You released Capone?"
"Smoker asked."
Allen nodded: "Yes, it's settled. From now on, I'll take 70% of what he earns."
Smoker frowned. "This is abuse of power! How many times have I told you this is wrong!"
"Hey, I haven't even tried to change your values, so don't bother me." Allen said calmly, his hands resting on the edge of the boat.
"You can never catch all the pirates, and you can never catch all the mafia."
"Capone has been arrested, and someone will soon take his place. Compared to the unknown guy, Capone is at least more law-abiding."
Capone investigated Allen, and Allen investigated him.
This guy has only killed gang leaders so far; he seems only interested in the heads of their leaders.
The weapons sold are partly for the navy and partly for the armed forces of other countries.
Compared to that ruthless Joker, Capone is practically a saint in the underworld.
……
"Capone is different..."
Smoker said in a deep voice, "I wasn't just saying that in anger with that damn commodore. I genuinely believe he'll grow into a great pirate!"
His intuition has always been very accurate.
Just like eight years later, when he saw Luffy's smiling face as he faced execution, he was convinced that the guy would turn the sea upside down.
Intuition can be considered the initial manifestation of the formation of visual perception.
I think so too.
Allen didn't refute Smoker, his voice calm: "Don't worry... by the time he becomes a great pirate, I'll already be a Marine."
"Pfft—"
Smoker couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What kind of ridiculous title is 'Grand Navy'? You might as well say you'll become an admiral!"
"The Great Navy, short for the Supreme Commander of the Navy, just like the Pirate King."
Smoker slapped Allen on the shoulder hard: "That's called a Field Marshal! Do you think someone like you, a newly promoted colonel, would even think of that!"
Allen slapped Smoker's hand away with a hint of disdain: "A Marine who doesn't aspire to be a Field Marshal isn't a good Marine. Who's as hopeless as you?"
……
Smoker's hand, which had been knocked down, remained raised for a moment before slowly lowering it.
"Allen, we've been together for six years now."
"To be precise, it's five and a half years."
"Also, don't use such ambiguous words as 'together,' we're just colleagues."
Smoker's fierce face twisted into an ugly smile.
"You'll have to rely on yourself now."
"Although you're a lazy, greedy, and lecherous scoundrel, I know you're not a bad person at heart..."
"Stop!"
"Being lazy and greedy is one thing, but how am I lustful?"
Looking at the entire Uchiha clan, there are only a handful of people who are interested in women!
……
Bloodline has a huge impact on a person's personality, and Allen never denied the influence of the Sharingan and Ice Release Kekkei Genkai on him.
People can't even empathize with themselves from a few minutes ago.
Having experienced time travel and rebirth, and been given a new body... how could her personality possibly remain exactly the same as before?
He spent his childhood alone in a world teeming with pirates...
Every evolution of the Sharingan is accompanied by pain; the awakening of the three tomoe already illustrates this point.
All I need to know is that I am myself.
Anyway... lust is a stain!
……
Smoker narrowed his eyes slightly: "So what's the deal with the Hancock bounty poster in your room?"
Allen's expression darkened slightly: "You bastard! How dare you come into my room!"
As he spoke, he drew his navy-issue longsword from his waist, poised to slash at Smoker.
Clang——
Although he knew he wouldn't actually get hit, Smoker still raised his ten arms to block out Allen's injury to save face.
"I don't know when we'll see each other again, so let's not get into any bloodshed."
"It's fine if you like that woman's beauty, just don't forget your Navy's justice. After all, she's a pirate. You have no future..."
Over the years, Smoker had always seen Allen as a disobedient younger brother. Despite disliking noisy and impatient people, he himself had become the annoying one.
snort!
I was collecting the bounty posters for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It just so happens that Hancock was on the first one. Aren't you going to scroll down and take a look?
Allen, too lazy to explain, sheathed his sword.
"Get out of here, it's so noisy!"
……
……
Once Smoker's ships were out of sight from the coastline, Allen straightened his Justice Coat and turned around.
Towards its own branch, 179.
