chapter 72 part 2
He simply snapped his fingers lightly, and then the boxes seemed to be pulled into the air by some force, disappearing into thin air.
Looking at this scene, the rebel army showed no reluctance.
Even though this money was what they had painstakingly saved for seven years.
But as Yash had said – without Rat, they might never have had a chance for revenge.
But it was also at this moment...
"The reward is what I deserve, and I've accepted it." They heard Rat's voice again.
"However, you're very lucky."
"According to the intelligence you provided, I found the metals I needed in Karamelo III's treasury, and not two types, but three full types."
"According to the rules I set – anyone who provides me with those nineteen types of metals can offset 30 million Beli from the reward."
"So..." As Rat's voice fell, Yash and the others saw several bottles and jars of colorful honey appear before them.
That was naturally...
"Rainbow Honey?!"
They recognized at a glance that special product of Honeycomb Island, and also the source of their nightmare.
Rat calmly said, "Karamelo III's treasury contained this honey. It's very troublesome to dispose of it... But I suppose you have the corresponding channels?"
When he said this, Yash almost trembled all over.
"We... we do know some black market merchants. You... you mean..." He already understood Rat's meaning, but didn't dare to believe it.
You see – Rainbow Honey, being a special product of the Karamelo Kingdom and beloved by Big Mom, was quite valuable in the Underworld.
This large pile of Rainbow Honey was worth at least tens of millions of Beli, enough for them and the remaining common folk of Honeycomb Island to restart their lives.
"They're yours, as compensation for those metals." Rat said cheerfully.
"However, I must remind you – be careful when handling this Rainbow Honey. Don't sell too much at once and attract attention."
After hearing this, Yash naturally understood Rat's meaning.
So at this moment, he also looked at Rat with some worry: "My Lord, is Big Mom not..."
Yes – Rat killed Charlotte Snack, and Big Mom would certainly be enraged by this.
And the rage of the Four Emperors was clearly a catastrophe for anyone.
But what Yash didn't expect was that Rat's reply at this time was extremely calm: "Yes, I estimate Big Mom is probably very angry, and things should get quite messy."
"However..."
His words were calm: "I'm just one of the 'Twelve Star Generals'."
The fact that Snack connected his Den Den Mushi before dying did surprise him a bit, but in the end... Rat was just a Clone. What did he have to fear?
But it was clear that Yash's understanding of his words was not this meaning.
"Twelve Star Generals..."
At this moment, he was inwardly shocked – yes, the Twelve Star Generals.
That was an organization that directly opposed the World Government.
How could one of the highest echelons of such an organization fear the mere Four Emperors?
But before Yash could continue to process, he saw Rat wave his hand again.
"Besides this, I also found this in the treasury."
An item was thrown towards Yash.
He hurriedly caught it, took a look, and then froze in place.
That was a sapphire pendant.
It wasn't particularly exquisite, and the quality of the sapphire on it could only be described as ordinary.
But Yash would never forget it.
"Mother..." His voice was almost a wail.
This was his mother's keepsake.
He remembered very clearly that she had died by the sweet spring outside the furnace, and this pendant had been taken away by the Homies nearby.
That was the biggest reason he had resolved to take revenge on Karamelo III at all costs.
And now...
His hatred finally ended today, and she had also returned to his side.
So, Yash looked up in disbelief.
But he saw that the figure who had changed everything was slowly turning away.
"You gave me over a million Beli too much in reward – consider this pendant as making up the difference." With those words, he vanished without a trace.
"..."
Yash tightly clutched the sapphire pendant in his hand.
His gaze was fixed on the spot where the figure had disappeared, his fists clenched white.
Making up the difference?
No, this grace... was not something that could be made up with a single sentence.
"Twelve Star General, Lord Rat." He murmured softly, as if wanting to carve these two names deep into his soul.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The Grand Line, on an an unknown island.
On the highest peak in the center of the island, a burly man was lying on a deck chair, listening to his subordinate's report.
The upper half of his face was covered by a strange clown mask, and his hairstyle was archaic – his bushy hair almost encircled his face, looking like a lion's mane, or like flames of the sun.
By his side were a long scythe and numerous bottles and jars of human organs.
Sunlight shone all over him, but when it touched his body, it seemed to be devoured, vanishing without a trace – this made the sun-drenched mountaintop not feel warm, but instead had an inexplicable chilling gloom.
He was the 'Great Hand Undertakers', Drug Peclo.
"To actually kill Charlotte Snack, are those Twelve Star Generals all lunatics?" His teeth constantly ground together, as if he wanted to devour people.
What was interesting was that even though he was angry enough to eat people, his body still lay on the deck chair, even moving slightly with the sun.
"Lord Drug Peclo, what should we do now? Big Mom has already ordered to get any clues about the Twelve Star Generals." And in front of him, the one giving the intelligence report was none other than 'Miss Spider' from Coffin Island.
At this moment, her words also showed some anxiety: "They say Charlotte Katakuri has already left Totto Land and is heading to Coffin Island to ask for intelligence."
Hearing this, Drug Peclo was obviously even more furious.
"Bring me the thing!" He suddenly sat upright and growled in a low voice, as if suppressing some impulse.
