Chapter 13: Marine Based - 13
The problem was, this promotion just massively increased the bounty he would get once he went rogue. He wasn't some Commander from one of the four blues, he was a full on Commander stationed in the New World.
That high of a rank here in the New World? He'd get slapped with a massive bounty to start with from that alone. Then taking into account everyone here basically already knew he trained in the Rokushiki, and Vergo knew he was training in Haki.
And then there was his age. He was only fourteen. A kid that young rising to Commander rank in the New World, with Rokushiki and Haki training? They may as well call him Rob Lucci 2.0 even if they were nothing alike, and he'd be lucky to be slapped with a just a bounty of a hundred million to start off with.
And then once it came out he had the clone of Kaido's fruit? Boom! That bounty would rise massively.
He would need time to master the fruits abilities and increase his strength with it to deal with anyone who came after him.
'If I knew Life Return this would be a whole lot easier.' he grimaced. With that, he could boost the results of at least his physical training massively.
Well at the very least, he supposed the enhanced recovery rate of a Zoan would be incredibly useful on that point as well.
As it was, no matter what excuse he gave for leaving G5, he'd have maybe two weeks at most before he was declared as either missing in action or a possible deserter, and then the second he was spotted-
Bam! Massive bounty on his head.
