[Pirate Crew Profile]
Crew Name: Blood Spear Pirates
Captain's Title: "Blood Spear" Lugart
Bounty:69,000,000 Berries
(Due to retreating from the Grand Line and voluntarily abandoning deep-sea navigation, the bounty did not increase further)
Age: 42
Origin: Guard Army of a war-torn kingdom in the West Blue
Pathological Aesthetic: Obsessed with "elegant slaughter."
During battle, he deliberately controls blood loss, allowing enemies to bleed to death slowly.
Psych Profile: After suffering defeat in the Grand Line, he developed an intense hatred for the "game of the strong."
He now preys on the weak to numb himself.
"Gern, this is the detailed intelligence on the Blood Spear Pirates."
Branch Chief Asahi gently slid a kraft-paper folder across the desk, rubbing his hands together with a sycophantic smile.
"I pulled a lot of strings with an old contact in the South Blue branch to get this internal report."
"Much appreciated."
Gern accepted the file and began flipping through it.
"Although Lugart is originally from the West Blue," Asahi leaned closer, the smell of cigars mixed with cheap cologne wafting over,
"he grew greedy while serving as a royal guard in the South Blue.
Killed, robbed, and then directly formed a pirate crew there."
He jabbed a stubby finger at a red stamp on the document.
"See that mark?
'Extremely Dangerous.'
Stamped by the South Blue branch."
Gern skimmed rapidly, pausing briefly at keywords like 'Grand Line' and '60 million bounty.'
As the pages rustled, Asahi continued:
"He raided seven merchant ships in the South Blue and destroyed two Marine outposts.
Methods were brutal…"
"So after failing in the Grand Line, he ran back to the West Blue to play tyrant?"
Gern closed the file with a soft sigh.
Asahi's expression suddenly grew serious.
He leaned forward, the chair creaking under his weight.
"Gern, Lugart isn't like those twenty-million-berry nobodies you dealt with before.
Anyone who made a name for himself in the first half of the Grand Line—
even if the bounty says sixty million—his real strength could be far higher."
Gern's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, the rhythm like a countdown.
He understood perfectly.
In the original timeline, even after Luffy defeated Arlong, his bounty was only thirty million.
Marine bounties weren't a perfect measure of strength—but they were never wildly off either.
"Don't worry, Branch Chief."
Gern stood up, sunlight filtering through the blinds and casting broken shadows across his face.
"I value my life."
"Good! Valuing your life is good!"
Asahi jumped up as well, not even stopping to rub his belly after bumping the desk corner.
"When you get to Marine Headquarters, the enemies you face will be real monsters…"
Before the conversation could continue, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor.
The office door burst open.
Asahi's deputy rushed in, face pale, clutching a report.
"Report, Branch Chief!"
"West Blue—Asetti Kingdom!
Ashen Port is under attack by the Blood Spear Pirates!
Local militias are requesting immediate Marine support!"
Asahi froze for a second, then reacted, the flesh on his face trembling.
"So soon?
Didn't the intel say they were still operating near the South Blue?"
"They've clearly changed course," the deputy replied.
Bang!
Asahi slammed his fist onto the desk, face darkening.
"Those damn beasts!
They barely crawled back from the Grand Line and they're already wreaking havoc on my turf!"
Beside him, Gern's gaze sharpened as he looked back at the intel file.
"Branch Chief, please give the order!" the deputy urged.
Asahi gritted his teeth and was about to speak—
When Gern had already stood up and was walking toward the door.
"Hey! Gern?"
Asahi blinked. "What are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Gern didn't turn back.
"I'm going to reinforce Ashen Port."
"Wait!" Asahi hurried after him.
"Didn't I just tell you?
The Blood Spear Pirates aren't ordinary pirates!
They're far stronger than those nobodies you fought before!
And you just said you value your life—"
Gern stopped and tilted his head slightly.
"When I said I value life…"
He suddenly grinned—a smile chilling to the bone.
"I meant that when those blind idiots run into me,
they'd better value their lives a little more.
Not me."
Asahi was struck speechless by the pressure in Gern's eyes.
"Oh, right."
Gern's hand paused on the door handle.
"Thanks for the intel."
Flustered, Asahi waved frantically.
"Of course! Of course!
Our 133rd Branch is counting on you—"
The door shut, cutting off his flattery.
Asahi stood there for a moment, then suddenly snapped back to reality and grabbed the Den Den Mushi on his desk.
"Hello?!
Prepare the best supplies immediately!
Ensign Gern is heading out to sea!"
In the corridor, Gern's pace quickened—until he was nearly running.
One thought filled his mind:
I have to reach Ashen Port as fast as possible.
"Ensign Gern!"
Several Marines snapped to attention as they saw him.
"Immediately assemble a squad and ready a warship!"
Gern barked the order.
"Ashen Port is under attack. We depart in ten minutes!"
No one dared hesitate.
Gern returned to his room, grabbed the black blade Eight Desolations, and strapped it firmly to his back.
He took a deep breath, cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Blood Spear Pirates…"
Ten minutes later, a warship departed the 133rd Branch harbor at full speed, cutting toward Ashen Port.
Gern stood at the bow, sea wind brushing his face, eyes fixed on the distant horizon.
The Blood Spear Pirates were only one step in his plan.
The real challenges still lay ahead—
Marine Headquarters.
The monsters of the New World.
And the Haki yet to be awakened.
"Soon…" he murmured, a faint cluster of vibration particles forming in his palm—then dispersing.
"Ensign, we estimate arrival at Ashen Port in two hours," a Marine reported.
Gern nodded.
"Notify everyone.
Prepare for battle.
This time, we're facing bloodthirsty pirates—
show no mercy."
"Yes, sir!"
"Lugart…" Gern whispered, killing intent surging in his eyes.
"Your head will be my final contribution—
the ticket to Marine Headquarters."
