Chapter 496: The Reward Rises Again (Part I)
"Maybe it's because Auntie has something in the hands of the Straw Hat Kid wants!" Because Aozhi Zanku has been staying in the windless zone with Blackbeard and the gang during this time, and the name of the third son of the Vince Merck family has not been announced in the newspaper, so Aozhi Zanku does not know that the third son of the Vince Merck family who married the Charlotte family is actually the cook on the straw hat ship, Blackfoot Sanji.
"I remember that this kid has been nagging about being One Piece, right?" Demon Patrol Lafayette seemed to have something crucial in mind, so he said his guess: "What if Straw Hat Luffy knew the way to get to the end island of Loverud? Although not many people know about this, it doesn't mean that Straw Hat Luffy doesn't know! Or that he should know!"
Why hasn't anyone been able to find the island of Lavrud?
Because the island of Lavrud is not on any shipping route, it is necessary to decipher four red historical texts to find Lavrud's coordinates.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a rookie pirate like Luffy to know this secret, but don't forget Luffy's identity, he is the grandson of Lieutenant General Karp and a friend of the red-haired Shanks. If Straw Hat Luffy doesn't know about the existence of the red history text, then it's obviously a bit self-deceptive, right?
But Lafayette did guess wrong, the reason why Straw Hat Luffy knew about the existence of the red history text was because the cat pit viper shopkeeper of the Fur Clan and Duke Inuran really wanted to tell him, otherwise Luffy still wouldn't know.
"Isn't this just the chance to get the second coordinate?" Azonku knew that Blackbeard TiΔ's purpose was to collect four red pieces of history text and go to the legendary island of Ralud.
Burgess Gizas, who likes violence, asked excitedly: "Captain, are we going to trouble that old woman with Auntie?
"This is indeed an opportunity, but our target is not the old woman, but the Straw Hat Luffy!" In Blackbeard's opinion, the strength of the Straw Hat Luffy is definitely not as good as Charlotte Lingling. Even if Charlotte Lingling is injured, her strength is definitely not weak, and the force in her hands is very large. Instead of wasting time and energy to find a troublesome Charlotte Lingling on the other side, it is better to directly find the soft persimmon of Straw Hat Luffy to pinch it.
"Indeed, Straw Hat Luffy may have a rubbing of the red history text in his hand!" "Young Zanku used to be an admiral, and his mind was certainly not bad, and he immediately knew why Blackbeard Titch chose Straw Hat Luffy as his target. So Qingzhi Zanku directly picked out and said, "But your purpose is not only rubbing, right?"
"It doesn't matter if the Straw Hat Boy doesn't have a rubbish in his hand, the important thing is that the woman on his boat is what I have to get!Thief hahaha!" In Blackbeard's opinion, although the content of the four red historical texts collected is important, if no one can decipher them, it is also just a few symbols.
Although there are only four pieces of red historical text, even if there is no red historical text in the hands of the major forces, there are at least rubbings. Definitely Blackbeard Teach, the rubbing in his hand is from the red historical text in the hands of the red-haired Shanks.
"That's right, that woman, Nicole Robin, is what we have to get!" Lafayette smiled slightly, without the only person in the world who could read the text of history, even if all the contents of the red text of history were collected, it would be meaningless.
Childish Zanku didn't say anything further. Although he has a broken leg, he is not Blackbeard's subordinate, but a partner, and his status here is equal to Blackbeard's.

On the Red Earth, in the Holy Land of Mary Joy, the palace of the Don Quixote family.
"Demon Dragon William!" Don Quixote Sun stared at William's wanted warrant with a knife, and secretly hated in his heart: If this traverser is not eliminated for a day, I will not be able to rest assured!
Don Quixote Sun felt that the Straw Hats were still alive because of William's intervention, and without William's intervention, he would definitely have a thousand chances to exterminate the Straw Hats.
But now the Straw Hats have grown strong enough to confront Charlotte Lingling, one of the Four Emperors of the Pirates. Although there was not much in the newspapers, Don Quixote Sun obtained most of the information through his intelligence network.
"Young master!" a man in black walked over slowly, a little nervous.
Don Quixote Sun didn't even bother to look at each other, but asked a little coldly, "What did you find?"
"Report to the young master, according to our investigation, it is very likely that the fruit ability of that Demon Dragon William is an animal-type phantom beast! And it is also related to the ability of the space class. Although the man in black didn't know why his master was so curious about a pirate, he still didn't dare to ask more about things that shouldn't be asked.
"Space?" Don Quixote Sun seemed to open his mouth at this time, and instantly understood a lot of things.
For example, why William uses laser cannons and cannonballs to attack, for example, why the number of the Straw Hats sometimes changes, and if William's Devil Fruit's ability is spatial ability, it all explains well.
"Is the latest bounty on the Straw Hats out?" Although the newspaper did not report that Charlotte Lingling had been defeated by Straw Hat Luffy, it was difficult to hide some information from those big forces with their own intelligence networks.
Charlotte Lingling was defeated, and half of Cake Island was destroyed, can such a thing be hidden from other big forces? Especially after Charlotte Lingling woke up, she immediately went crazy and chased and killed the Straw Hats, who can hide such a big movement!
The man in black obviously knew that his master was very interested in the Straw Hats' affairs, so he had already brought the Straw Hats' latest bounty.
Don Quixote Sun put all the bounties on the table and looked at them:
Straw Hat Pirate Monchi Β· D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hats, the boss of the Straw Hats Alliance: 600 million Bailey!
Death Surgeon Trafalgar Rowe, Captain of Hearts, Second Leader of the Straw Hats: 500 Million Bailey!
Superstar Pirate Roberts D. Sambo, the captain of Roberts and his gang, the third child of the Straw Hats Alliance: 500 million Bailey!
Haixia Jinping, the helmsman of the Straw Hats, offers a reward of 430 million Bailey!
One Piece Empress Boya Hancock, captain of the Nine Snake Pirates, emperor of the Amazon Lily, offers a bounty of 400 million Bailey!
Dragon Dorag D. William, the staff officer of the Straw Hats, offers a bounty of 400 million Bailey!
Black-footed Vince Merk Sanji, the cook of the Straw Hats, offers a reward of 400 million Bailey!
Nami, the thief cat, the navigator of the Straw Hats, offers a bounty of 150 million Bailey!
This defeat of Charlotte Lingling, the Four Pirates, did not result in an increase in the bounty for everyone, except Trafalgar Rowe and Roberts. D. Sambo is because of the alliance, and the rest of the people are the main people involved in the Cake Island incident.
Brooke and Pedro basically sneaked in because of their most important task, stealing rubbings of the red history text, and the relevant eyewitnesses were killed, so the navy's intelligence officers ignored the two of them.
Chopper is still mistaken for a pet by all Navy personnel, so the bounty remains at 100 Bailey (presumably the Navy's intelligence officer dozed off while on a mission).
As for all the other combatants, they were mistaken by the Navy's intelligence officers for the subordinates of Empress Han Cook. The Navy did not know the relationship between Boya Hancock, only that Boya Hancock himself led his troops to participate in the attack on Cake Island. But because the incident happened at the headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates, no matter how developed the intelligence of the navy is, it is very rare to infiltrate it.
This is just the information that the Navy can collect at the moment, but only the Charlotte family knows what is really going on, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with their own enemy navy to share information!
