One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 108

Although it's hard to admit, the Beasts Pirates have proven it with a live stream:

They are the world's strongest pirate crew, and the title of "Pirate King" is well-deserved.

But Whitebeard's sons clearly remembered that when Shiki fell, their father still had a certain advantage in his battle with Kaido.

In other words, these crew members are not as good as the crew members of the Beasts Pirates.

Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Gurararararar... What's wrong? Why are you all looking so dejected?"

Jozu said sullenly, "Dad, we're the ones who are holding you back. You're no worse than Kaido."

Whitebeard gently patted Jozu's shoulder with his broad, calloused hand, speaking to George and all the children in a kind tone: "Gurarararar... Silly boy, there's no such thing as holding you back. Your father never cared about those things."

"As long as you are all happy, that's enough for your father."

All the children looked up, staring blankly at the white beard, some with tears blurring their vision.

Whitebeard smiled and continued:

"However, it's good that you realize your shortcomings. Don't worry, once we hunt down a Celestial Dragon and awaken our Conqueror's Haki, we'll catch up."

"My children are no less capable than anyone else!"

Hearing Whitebeard's words, the fighting spirit was rekindled in everyone's eyes.

"Dad is right, we're no worse than other pirate crews."

"Ah, of course!"

Whitebeard looked at his sons and nodded with satisfaction: "Gurarararar... these are my sons."

Encouraged by the white beard, the group, who had been somewhat dejected, rallied.

They began actively preparing for the upcoming voyage, looking forward to what they would look like after awakening their Conqueror's Haki.

On the other side, Lingling's "Queen Singer" is also waiting for coating.

Five Celestial Dragons were not enough for Lingling.

Especially after seeing the children awaken their Conqueror's Haki after killing them, Lingling continued on her way, preparing to go hunting across the four seas.

Having awakened his Conqueror's Haki, Perospero smugly handed the newspaper to Lingling: "Mom, this is the latest newspaper."

Lingling glanced at it briefly, then casually put it aside, laughing and scolding:

"That brat Kaido."

Perospero just smiled and didn't say anything.

He actually knew what the newspaper article contained, and although he was unhappy about it, it was the truth.

Lingling gazed at her eldest son, her voice soft yet firm, carrying a mother's expectation for her child:

"Perospero, you guys need to keep up the good work too, don't fall too far behind them."

“Yes, I know, Mom,” Perospero said earnestly.

The Five Elders have already discussed what they should offer to make the pirates willing to serve them.

Legitimate right of plunder!

Moreover, they had already identified one of the pirates, Hanafza, who had fought Kaido over Shiki's territory.

The Five Elders immediately ordered their agents to locate Hanafza and send him an invitation.

Before the five men could even breathe a sigh of relief, a soldier respectfully approached them and handed them a newspaper.

Having experienced the bombing of the Holy Land Mary Geoise and the Osawa Island incident, the five of them remained completely unmoved as they looked at the news in the newspaper.

This is something the Beasts Pirates did that had absolutely no impact on them.

Besides, what good is influence? Morgans is in the air now, and the World Economic News can publish whatever it wants; they can't stop it.

Satan Saint held the newspaper in his hand, a smile of interest in his eyes: "This may not be a bad thing."

"Huh? What do you mean?" The other four stars looked at Saint Satan with confusion.

Saint Satan explained, "Pirates are driven by nothing but money and fame, and now, vying for the title of 'Emperor of the Sea,' they are bound to fight each other."

Saint Vochuli nodded in agreement: "You're right. You have to understand that pirates are a bunch of unruly people who look down on each other."

"Since that's the case, let's give them a push." ​​Nasujuro Sei coldly curled his lips: "Let's raise the bounties for these 'Four Emperors' again, creating a significant gap with the other pirates."

The other four naturally understood Nasujiro's intention and nodded in agreement.

Inspired by this, Pittor suddenly had an idea: "Everyone, why don't we give some to the Beasts Pirates too..."

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

King Brannew was holding a meeting with the naval soldiers below him.

"Now, let's compile a list of the most powerful pirates at sea and their bounties."

Four bounty posters were displayed on the screen.

Brannew proclaimed, "These four are the four Sea Emperors who reign supreme over the seas, also known as the 'Four Emperors.' They are..."

After a quick introduction to the "Four Emperors" and their latest bounties, the screen flickered, and then three more bounty posters appeared.

Brannew continued, "Finally, there is the 'Pirate King,' who surpasses even the 'Four Emperors' and all other pirates."

"Captain of the Beasts Pirates, Pirate King Kaido."

"He rose to become the Pirate King in just a few years after the formation of his pirate crew."

"He has fought against almost all the strongest creatures on the sea and is known as the strongest creature on land, sea and air."

"After final decision by the World Government, Kaido's bounty is: 9,599,999,000 Berries!"

The camera focuses on the second image: "The vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates, King Rairou!"

"The mastermind behind the Osawa incident, the world's most vicious criminal."

"The World Government has decided that the bounty is 8,888,800,000 Berries!"

"Finally, there is the Battle Commander-in-Chief of the Beasts Pirates, King the Calamity!"

"The last surviving member of the Lunaria clan, whose Float-Float Fruit powers are a headache for the World Government."

"The World Government has decided on the bounty: 7.5 billion Berries!"

Chapter 162 Meeting

A meeting is also taking place here right now.

Morgans, being a journalist, naturally had his ways of getting the latest bounty money as soon as possible.

The Beasts Pirates' executives gathered here to hold a celebration banquet after the latest bounties were announced.

Morgans, this albatross, acted as the meeting king.

After introducing the bounties of Kaido, Raikou, and King.

Lei Luo exclaimed, "He really single-handedly brought the world's bounty system into the era of inflation ahead of schedule."

This is understandable, considering that a Celestial Dragon's bounty is already 3 billion Berries. The World Government certainly wouldn't be stingy with its bounty.

Kaido looked at the bounty and was somewhat disappointed: "I thought that after doing something so big, the bounty would be over 10 billion Berries."

Lei Luo smiled and explained, "We also set bounties for those five old men. As the highest authority in the world, I don't think they would want to see anyone's bounty exceed theirs."

"What?! Such a lame reason?!" Even Kaido, a brute, couldn't help but complain.

"The Five Elders, huh? They're quite something!"

Lei Luo was also somewhat speechless. He should have set the target higher back then, since no one could catch the Five Elders anyway.

Morgans raised his voice again:

"Next up is the Beasts Pirates' Battle Vice-Commander, the Devil's Heir, Bullet, with a bounty of..."

Morgans was doing it for the sake of the show, deliberately dragging out the last syllable.

Barrett, standing below, craned his neck in anticipation, and then, in a provocative tone, said to Jhin beside him:

"How much higher do you think my bounty will be compared to yours? Could it reach eight billion?"

Jin remained expressionless and scoffed, "Idiot, how could that be? My bounty was posted earlier than yours, so mine must be higher!"

Barrett scoffed dismissively: "Who told you it was announced according to the bounty amount? Maybe it was announced according to the position!"

Jin glanced at Barrett sideways, then turned away, ignoring him completely.

Although Jhin appeared calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside.

Because we cannot rule out the possibility that Barrett mentioned.

Finally, Barrett's bounty and the amount of money appeared slowly on the screen.

"Four, three hundred and sixty-eight million!"

As Morgans finished speaking, Barrett completely lost his color and frantically clung to the embers beside him like a broken record.

"Why, why is my bounty so low? I beat up Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Black Nose Pirates!"

"You bastard, you only hit one of the Black Nose Pirates' navigators!"

"Why?!"

"Why?!"

Jhin patted Barrett on the shoulder and said very seriously, "Forty-three billion is already amazing!"

Just like saying "three minutes is already great," it has no comforting effect whatsoever.

Jhin did it on purpose, because Raylo could see the corners of his mouth that were even harder to suppress than an AK.

Barrett was so enraged that he instantly awakened the Flame-Flame Fruit: "Damn it, next time my bounty will definitely be higher than yours!"

Jin remained calm and said indifferently, "Oh, you already said that last time."

"You he……"

Kaido, drinking from his gourd, watched King and Bullet arguing with amusement: "Oh ho ho ho ho... They have such a good relationship."

Lei Luo looked at it carefully a few more times, but still couldn't see where their relationship had improved.

How did you figure that out?

However, it will be really difficult for Barrett to surpass Jhin!

The amount of the bounty is not only determined by strength, but also by the threat posed to the world government.

Just the fact that Jin brought "Pluto" to the world's eyes in the Great Swamp is worth 3 billion Berries!

Morgans didn't stop because of Jhin and Barrett's argument, and continued to loudly announce the bounties of the other members:

"Quinn, an evil scientist and executive of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 3 billion Berries!"

"In addition, Lord Quinn added a sentence to the bounty order: if captured alive, the bounty will be doubled!"

With a half-smile, Lei Luo picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

The world government's intentions are hard to guess!

Morgans continued:

"Bakin Gom Stussy, a member of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 3 billion Berries!"

"Tori Tomoma, a member of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 3 billion Berries!"

"Martitao, a member of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 2.5 billion Berries!"

"Lazuli, a member of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 2 billion Berries!"

Tori Tomma, who was standing next to Lei Luo, immediately leaned over and asked, "Why did my bounty suddenly increase by so much?"

Emmmm......

In the world of Stusimmon, there is a gold mountain; Toritoma is a mythical beast; Mattitau can use the Encouragement Fruit, which adds a bug; and Android 18 has good physical skills.

However, Lei Luo didn't explain any of this. He simply stroked Tori Tomma's long, black hair and laughed, "Of course, Tori Tomma is very strong!"

Tori Tomma squinted contentedly and leaned against Lei Luo's chest.

Leia rolled her eyes at Leilo, annoyed: "Do you two really have to kiss and hug in public?"
