Chapter 458: Eight Hundred Million!
After spending one night in Ryugu Castle on Fish-Man Island, Edward said goodbye to the people and prepared to travel through the giant cave beneath the Red Earth Continent to the New World. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Edward, a human, carried a dolphin and a boat through the bubbles of the Dragon Palace, the farewell crowd fell into a state of stupor again. They saw with their own eyes how a human could swim freely like a fish-man at the bottom of the sea for 10,000 meters, ignoring the unbearable pressure of the huge sea water for human beings, and quickly swimming into the distance, and disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye.
"This ...... It's incredible to see it with your own eyes. Neptune stammered, "Mr. Jinping, I don't think you saved your strength in the competition. ”
"Of course I didn't ......," Jinping smiled bitterly, "not only did I not keep my hand, but I used all my strength. The strength of the other party is unfathomable, and looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he has left his hand. ”
"The Straw Hat Pirates have members like him, I don't know if it's good or bad. ”
............
While Edward was leisurely swimming from the bottom of the sea to the surface, the Navy Headquarters was already in a mess.
The current commander-in-chief of the Navy is no longer a Sengoku and has been replaced by a Akainu with a huge scar on his neck and face. On the table of this former admiral, who has always believed in absolute justice, there are a large number of newspapers and information leaflets, all of which contain reports and information about the competition between Edward and Jinping.
"Damn Edward of the Light!" The more Akaiu looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally the fire burned all the newspapers and information sheets to ashes, "Come on! Raise the bounty of Edward of the Holy Light to 800 million! At the same time, change the capture alive to life and death! I don't believe that no one among those mercenary pirates can deal with him!"
"But Your Excellency, our budget for this year ...... And Dr. Vegapunk is there......"
"Don't worry about the budget and that bastard scientist!" Akainu interrupted his men with a almost angry roar, "Do you think ordinary people can really take his head down?
"Since the decisive battle at the top, the prestige of our navy has deteriorated greatly from what it used to be, and we must do something to restore our reputation!"
"Those damn pirates have already used our bounty list as something to flaunt their combat power, since some people say that this Holy Light Edward has the combat power of the Four Emperors, then let them go dog eat dog!"
"Also, increase the bounty of Straw Hat Luffy and his gang for me. As his men were about to go out, Akaiu stopped him and said with a hideous expression, "Hmph, the future of this sea?
"They don't care much about camaraderie, and I'd love to see what the Straw Hats look like when they face an opponent they can't beat!"
............
This incident, which was known for the first time, had a huge impact not only on the world's political axes and navies, but also on the pirates. As Akainu said, the pirates' bounty is a sign of their combat power, and Edward's bounty of nearly 800 million is close to the Four Emperors, so it means that his combat power has been recognized by the navy.
If they can take down Edward of the Holy Light, who is close to the strength of the Four Emperors but is not the king of the New World, then they will have incomparable glory and wealth among the pirates.
Of course, not all pirates think so, and there are some pirates with dark psychology who are trying to find trouble with the Straw Hat Pirates - compared to the Holy Light Edward, whose strength is close to the Four Emperors, the Straw Hat Pirates seem to be a little easier, as long as they catch the Straw Hats, then they are not afraid that the Holy Light Edward will not comply, especially when these guys realize that Edward is not acting with the Straw Hats, and there are still a few "weak" people in the Straw Hat Pirates with very small bounties When the characters existed, their hearts became hot and they began to ask around for news of the Straw Hats.
............
Unaware that his presence had made the Straw Hats more difficult to adventurize, Edward had already reached the surface of the sea, sitting cross-legged in the boat and heading in the direction indicated by the Light Mark.
It's been almost a week since he left Fish-Man Island, but he's not in a hurry to catch up with Luffy and them, but he's thinking about his destination at a constant speed.
A large newspaper bird flew down from the sky and stopped on Edward's boat, stretching its long neck to signal Edward to buy a newspaper.
Although Edward was able to "read" the contents of the newspaper with his domineering appearance, he still bounced a Bailey into the big bird's money bag and told him "Have a good trip".
The big bird was startled and hurriedly took off, muttering in its heart: How can this human speak bird language?
"The bounty has actually increased to 800 million, and the navy wants to roast me on the fire?" Edward smiled, didn't open the newspaper, and browsed the contents of it with a domineering look, "Luffy's bounty month has increased accordingly, and the navy is playing very slippery." ”
It was at this time that a pirate ship appeared in Edward's sight, and looking at the size of the ship, Edward could be sure that this was a very large pirate group.
"It's time to get something to eat. Edward stood up and flew to the pirate ship in a few steps, "It's time to change your taste when you eat seafood every day." ”
"Holy ...... Edward of Light!" As soon as Edward jumped aboard the pirates, all the pirates on the ship fell to the ground in fear because they saw the iconic black glow behind Edward.
"Don't ...... Don't kill us!we're just a bunch of down-and-out pirates who have lost all their money!" said the captain, who looked strong, but had a cunning look in his eyes.
"I'm not a person who kills people without blinking. Edward smiled, took out a thick stack of bills, and said, "I want to buy some fruit and meat from you, do you?"
"Yes, yes, of course! We lost it all, but we stopped in time, bought a lot of food, and left the hell place!" the captain hurriedly ordered his men to move all the food out. In order not to arouse the displeasure of this terrifying character, these foods are also deliberately cooked.
"The chef on board your ship is good, so you're welcome. Edward looked at the abundance of food on the table, threw the stack of bills to the captain, and began to feast and drink.
"Where did you come from, and is there enough food on board to get to the next island?"
"Enough! Enough!" said the captain, smiling as he stood beside Edward, "We have just returned from the Grand De Solo, and because my name is Parker of the 'Keep a Hand', we have survived losing all our money and becoming De Solo's slaves. ”
"The Great De Solo?" Edward wondered as he ate.
"Yes, it was a huge entertainment ship with a length of ten kilometers, and it was recognized as the most luxurious entertainment city in the world. Speaking of the Great De Solo in his mouth, Captain Parker's face was a little complicated, "That ship is full of all the entertainment that can be found in the world, and it is the most desirable paradise for all rich people." ”
"Ten kilometers long!" Edward was also taken aback, he had never even heard of such a huge ship, and immediately became interested, "Where is he now?"
