Chapter 1345: Escape

Hearing the mention of the contract, Little Bun looked at Su Xiao with a pitiful look, but she didn't see any sympathy in his eyes.

Su Xiao spent 100 Paradise coins to draw up the contract. The gist of it was very simple: before leaving this world, Little Bun would have to help Su Xiao for free, while not interfering with him in any way and not demanding anything in return.

In other words, Su Xiao's rewards would have nothing to do with Little Bun, and Su Xiao himself would not get his hands on Little Bun's rewards.

To prevent Little Bun from stabbing him in the back, Su Xiao added 17 penalties to the contract, each penalty either lowered all stats by 30%, randomly removed 3 items from the inventory, or, for example, reduced the level of a random skill by 3.

Such penalties were very severe, they should have greatly reduced the chance of her stabbing him in the back.

After hesitating for a moment, Little Bun decided to sign the contract. Su Xiao wasn't her friend, so if she turned him down, the outcome would be obvious.

She will die just as quickly as her former comrades.

But Little Bun realized that even though Su Xiao was cold and had an extremely frightening aura, he didn't intend to exploit her.

This could be understood with the help of a drawn-up contract.

Little bun had three tasks at the moment. Her previous group had demanded a 70% reward from her for completing these tasks. Of course, they were supposed to help her complete these tasks, but only if it didn't endanger their lives..

Considering that Little Bun was the weakest of the group, this contract didn't look reliable at all.

— After signing the contract, Little Bun raised her white palm, looking like an elementary school student who wanted to ask a question in class.

— What is it? Su Xiao asked as he placed the Duke of Nirvana on the counter and adjusted the shutter.

An empty shell casing fell to the floor.

— What should I do next? Heal you? Scan your neighborhood?

— Nothing.

Su Xiao only decided to take Little Bun in because he wanted to have a healer on hand. After the battle with the Ant King, Su Xiao realized how important the auxiliary contractors, in particular the healers, were.

When Su Xiao had just arrived at the 21 islands, he saw several contractors taking a lone contractor in a pincer grip. In the end, he lost, but the group did not immediately kill him, and instead they immobilized him and cut his throat, so that all his strength was spent on treating this wound.

Originally, Su Xiao didn't want to get involved in this matter, but then a Small Bun appeared in his field of vision. When he saw her, he immediately realized that she was far from a fighter.

How could there be a healer like Little Bun in a group of this size? Su Xiao often came into contact with various guilds, so he immediately realized that Little Bun wasn't in this group because of personal preference.

At first, Su Xiao wanted to use the Duke of Nirvana and destroy a small or medium-sized guild, but in the end, he couldn't find a single suitable target.

The only group he met was Little Bun's group.

— Then I will... Just follow you? Little bun's eyes were full of confusion. She didn't understand why Su Xiao would choose to spare her life. He didn't use his power or ask for healing.

It all looked very scary.

Little bun started to slowly step back.

— Just help me in the battles, " Su Xiao replied as he filled the Duke of Nirvana with ammo.

— Oh, so that's it.

Little bun felt relieved at these words, but since they were strangers, she still remained wary.

— Did you also come here to steal that thing?" Little Bun asked with obvious curiosity.

— No.

Su Xiao had no idea what Little Bun was talking about, and he didn't care about it either.

Little bun looked at him expectantly, as if she wanted to hear when he would ask about what was "that thing".».

A minute passed, then five, then ten... Su Xiao was already dozing on a wooden chair in front of the bar.

This really upset Little Bun. She wanted to use this information to discuss some things with Su Xiao, but judging from the current situation, this man didn't seem to be interested in her knowledge.

— Ten thousand pirate reputation points, do you really not want to get that much reputation? Little bun placed her trump card on the table.

When Su Xiao heard about the pirate's 10,000 reputation points, his eyes opened up.

— That's what I was talking about~... " Two dimples appeared on Little Bun's face and she smiled happily, but in the next moment, her smile froze.

— Go on, I was wondering — " the longsword hummed softly, and its blade reflected a bright light.

Little bun sighed as if she had just been disappointed in herself.

— Three days ago, a contractor broke into the Silvers Reilly home and stole one flintlock pistol.

Although Little Bun liked to chat, she didn't express her thoughts very well, which made her think about what she should have said next.

— And this flintlock pistol is worth ten thousand reputation points? Su Xiao asked, feeling that this was nonsense. Previously, he was only rewarded with a few thousand reputation points for killing a Cracker.

— It's true. This gun belonged to the Pirate King himself, Roger. When the contractor stole this gun, he got a hidden mission. He has already completed two stages, but the third one already affects the twenty-first island...

With the Little Bun's help, Su Xiao learned all the necessary details.

When this contractor arrived on the 21st island for the third stage of the hidden mission, there were no active battles yet, because at that time all the contractors on the 16th island were fighting.

But that's just this contractor's bad luck. After he arrived at 21 islands, he encountered two groups at the same time, and these two groups decided to eliminate him first.

Roger's gun was a key item in the covert mission. After completing this mission, the contractor officially became its owner and could exchange it for 10,000 Pirate reputation points..

Because of their desperate situation, this contractor released information about their mission and reward.

Ten hours later, all the contractors started actively fighting on 21 islands, which is why he eventually became so unsociable.

Su Xiao had previously wondered why the contractors had chosen 21 islands as the battlefield instead of the entire Sabaodi Archipelago, but now it was all very clear.

The reason for such chaos was because of the hidden quest and the key item of this quest.

— Do you know where that gun is now?" Su Xiao asked.

— Of course, everyone knows this. How can you not know that? Have you been to the Sabaodi Archipelago a couple of days ago? Little Bun asked.

In fact, she didn't even think that Su Xiao might not have been in the archipelago at that moment.

Unfortunately, Su Xiao was a little busy communicating with Vice Admiral Tsuru, Kizaru, and Garp, and he didn't have time to read the contractor communication platform as he was completely focused on his escape.

— Were you teleported here?" Su Xiao asked.

Since he had a contract with Little Bun, Su Xiao wasn't worried about her realizing something was wrong.

— Ahem, what? Little Bun's pupils suddenly widened and she looked at Su Xiao in disbelief, as if she was seeing something very rare in front of her. — You're not... You're not that rank three invincible monster?!
