On the Great Voyage, New World, on an island that has been flown with the flag of the "Red-Haired Pirates", the climate is unbearably hot, and there are few people on the spacious streets.

The occasional locals would look out at a group of rugged men sitting on the ground, who they recognized as the "patron saints" of their islands.

Among this group of people, the leader is naturally the "redhead" Shanks.

"Killed Charlotte Lingling at the beginning of the year, Doflamingo and Titch in the middle of the year, and Kaido at the end of the year, what a terrible guy......"

Shanks mentions "Blackbeard" Marshall M. D. Titch couldn't help but reach out his unbroken right hand and stroke the old scar on the left eyelid of his face.

"The people who can leave me with wounds are dying one after another." He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

Ben Beckman leaned against the gray wall and watched the captain crouching in the narrow alley to cool off, and took the lit cigarette away from his mouth.

"The most important thing is that all your calculations have been disrupted by 'that person'."

"Who would have thought that he would be able to do such an unthinkable thing in two or three years? Even if Captain Roger is alive...... You don't want to mention his name or name directly? ”

"It's always good to be cautious."

"I heard that some strange rumors have been released, what do you think?" Shanks looked up at his right-hand man, undenied by the fact that the plan was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"They're too big to hide with the 'pirates' skin." Ben Beckman pouted and said, "Very smart choice, not daydreaming." ”

"He's so sober, but it's a headache for us." Shanks looked at the red-haired pirates resting in the shade of the trees and in the shadows of the promenade.

Beckman nodded approvingly, and the smoke from the rising cigarette shook and stackled.

"We can't go head-to-head with them, we have to put some help together...... For example, Wang Zhi, 'Old and New Seven Martial Seas'. ”

"Captain!"

Someone shouted, and they turned their heads to see a figure emerging from around the corner, it was Lockstar, a newcomer to the Pirates.

He was tall and vicious, but his personality was not calm enough, and at this time, he was also in a hurry with a stack of papers, rushed over, panting and wiping the sweat on his forehead in front of the two.

"Captain...... Captain ...... Reward Order...... It's a bounty order......"

"Our bounty order? We haven't done anything 'earth-shattering' recently, so we have to bother the masters of the Navy Headquarters to pay attention to us, right? Shanks couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

"No, Captain...... Be...... It's the 'deep sea'...... It's the ...... of the pirates of 'that man'."

"Ah...... Uh-huh, we got it. Let's take a break and drink some water. Shanks retracted his smile and said.

Lockstar handed the bounty to Shanks, and went to drink water obediently, obediently in stark contrast to his own appearance.

"With the name of defeating the Beast Pirates and establishing the Deep Sea Empire, the bounty will be ...... Sure enough, just by casually estimating, the total amount of their bounty is frighteningly high. ”

Ben Beckman glanced at it and said, "It's okay, the total amount of Heavenly Gold collected by the Draconians and the World Government every year is much higher, enough to buy the lives of their group. ”

"How can there be such a comparison, it is heavenly gold." Shanks smiled.

He actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because he also had the blood of the Celestial Dragons flowing in his body, and he couldn't strip away this bloodline, and the various evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons also made him ashamed.

"By the way, how much is the Rockstar bounty?" Shanks asked suddenly.

"It used to be 94 million Bailey, but recently it has risen to 96 million, and he is still boasting to us."

"Oh ho." Shanks licked his lips, "If Lockstar is in the Deep Sea Empire, but the countdown of the countdown, even the sea beasts are not as good." Look at ......"

"'Manatee' moo, 185 million Baileys."

"'North Sea Monster' Kuraken, 200 million Bailey."

"Hahaha, three Loxstar is higher than a kuraken's bounty."

Beckman's eyes lowered and he flipped through a few bounty orders and said, "At least he has a higher bounty than these men." ”

"Indeed." Shanks glanced at it and raised an eyebrow, "But they're all newcomers who have just joined the Deep Sea Empire." ”

"'Flower Hero' Hyogoro, 21 million Bailey."

"'Little Tuanzi' black charcoal jade, 33 million Bailey."

"'Wine Heaven Pill' Asura Boy, 56 million Bailey."

"'Pudding' Charlotte Brynn, 62 million Bailey."

"They're the ones with the lowest bounties in this stack."

"This group of people must have been recruited in Wano Country, right? Black charcoal jade, I haven't heard of it. Hyogoro and the Asura boy seem to be a little familiar, and Uncle Ota seems to have mentioned it. ”

"The only one here who is famous is Brienne, whose name has been published in the newspapers. People who don't know the inside story really think that she will marry Kaido's 'son' Yamato. ”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Beckman kept flipping through the bounty order, and his ability to remember it made him quickly notice the anomaly in the thick bounty order.

"The news of the imminent establishment of the Deep Sea Empire has been released, and they have taken the limelight, and the bounty has also risen, but there are still some of them who have been promoted much higher than others."

"For example, this 'Violet' Violet is said to be one of the core figures in destroying the CP spies who infiltrated the Deep Sea Empire, and the bounty has increased from 229 million Baileys to 529 million Baileys at once."

"There is also this 'double gun' Izo, because it played an important role in the Wano Country War, and the bounty has also risen from 610 million Baileys to 910 million Baileys."

"Hide ...... A name that I really miss. Shanks pursed the corners of his mouth downward, "When we Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates fought a lot, we fought against Izang. He is indeed a good fighter. ”

Beckman hummed sullenly and continued:

"There are many talents under the Deep Sea Empire, even the former captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, most of them can only be paradox generals and cursed knights, and only two of them are among the commanders of the bad omen."

"This 'Doll' Mikita, as if she followed Marko, defeated the air force of the 'Firescourge' Ember, and the bounty was increased by 200 million to 937 million Bailey."

"I remember that she used to be just a 'leftover' for the Baroque work club founded by Klockdahl, and I didn't expect her to have such a day."

"The same goes for Bartolomeo, the 'ogre', who was just a 'supernova' imp of more than 100 million Baileys a year ago, and now it has jumped to 950 million Baileys......

"It's like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, right?" Shanks smiled, not seeing any displeasure at all, "Beckman, are you envious?" Join the Deep Sea Empire, and there will be such a bounty to increase speed. ”

"Shanks, don't make such a bad joke, I'm not the same person with them." Beckman responded briefly.

"In the past, people were not all the way, but they could also come together because of the same goal." Shanks flicked one of the bounty orders, "Kaido's daughter, 'Onihime' Yamato, has a bounty of 1,011,000,000 Baileys for the first time......"

"I don't know about this Yamato." Beckman bluntly said, "Maybe Kaido won't handle family relationships, like Jesus did with Bu. ”

"Haha, I'll tell Jesus this later. But also, his daughter is not towards him, which shows how vicious Kaido is in Wano Country. Yamato is a man of conscience. ”

Beckman shrugged his shoulders, not caring about Shanks' threat: "In this bounty update, these are the more prominent people among the Paradox General, the Cursed Knight, and the Ghostly Beast. ”

"Then there's the Bad Omen Commander, I heard that they have added three new commanders and expanded their army." Shanks sighed, "There is a decent empire, and it is not the same as us half-. ”

"No way, we're pirates after all, and we don't want to fight the behemoth of the World Government right now. It is still necessary to leave a little room for manoeuvre. ”

Beckman glanced at Shanks obliquely, shook his head and sighed, remembering the contents of the bounty order.

"New Omen Commander, 'Magic' Hawkins, with a bounty of 1,649,000,000 Bailey."

"The new Omen Commander, 'Thousand Two Daohua' Bucky, with a bounty of 1,745,000,000 Bailey."

"The new Omen Commander, 'Trick' Chloe, with a bounty of 1,976,000,000 Bailey."

"Bucky......" Shanks deliberately picked up Bucky's bounty order and carefully looked at the domineering, exaggerated smile of the clown face on it.

"It took you less than two years to reach this height...... Sure enough, we will meet again in the heights. Unfortunately, our paths are very different. ”

"And what about the rest of the Omen Commander's bounty?"

"Wait a minute." Beckman flipped up.

"The rest of the Commanders of Bad Omen, the bounties are listed from lowest to highest, they are-"

"'Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Rowe, with a bounty of 2.52 billion Bailey."

"'White Hat' Yarrita, a bounty of 2.54 billion Bailey."

"'Pheasant' Kuzan, a bounty of 2.7 billion Bailey."

"'Immortal' Marco, a bounty of 3,224 million Bailey."

"'Fire Fist' Ace, a bounty of 3.35 billion Bailey."

"'Sea Hero' is very flat, with a bounty of 3.438 billion Bailey."

"'Sand Crocodile' Klockdahl, with a bounty of 3,681,000,000 Bailey."

"The bounty for this group of people is terrifyingly high." Shanks said, "In the past, the pirate forces with a bounty of more than 2 billion were basically able to compete for the 'Old Four Emperors', but now they are ......."

"Beckman, you see, our two forces alone are enough to completely collapse the bounty system."

Shanks's words are not groundless, the Deep Sea Empire has eight big people with bounties of more than 2 billion, and the red-haired pirates are not far behind.

In addition to the characteristic of "the most balanced iron-walled pirates", the red-haired pirates also have another feature that is well-known to the world.

That's the unusually high average bounty value.

Shanks' bounty is 4,048.9 million Bailey, and the other members of the Red-Haired Pirates have to have very high bounties to be worthy of this trait.

Indeed, the collective bounty order between the Deep Sea Empire and the Red-Haired Pirates is enough to smash the vast majority of the people or gangs who have been bountied, and drag the bounty system into a completely unfamiliar territory.

It is as if this sea has become a world of extreme polarization.

Beckman didn't think much of it, he just took the cigarette from his mouth and threw the bounty onto the floor tiles, lighting them all together.

Watching the flames burn and smoke rise, he asked one last question: "In order, the next target of 'that person' will be us, right?" ”

"His power has grown to such an extent that he should not stop the pace of war." Shanks replied, "Still, we should have about half a year to a year." It's a bit dangerous for us, but it should be barely enough. ”

There was a few months between the fall of the Big Mom Pirates and the fall of the Hundred Beast Pirates, and Shanks speculated based on this.

He looked down at the most striking and intimidating of the stacks of bounty orders, still chilling through the flames.

"'Emperor of the Deep' David Jones, 5.6 billion Bailey."

His bounty has exceeded Captain Roger's 5,564.8 million Bailey...... This means that the world government and navy have raised his danger again, becoming the first person in modern times!

Shanks knew it shouldn't be compared, as it was the bounty offered before Captain Roger turned himself in.

If you count the "evil consequences" of his opening of the era of pirates, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this bounty.

But Shanks couldn't help it, he knew very well that his heart could not accept it as calmly or even happily as it appeared on the surface.

Think about the "man" I saw for the first time during the war, and then think about the "man" now, he has completed an almost gorgeous transformation.

In the past year, will he really ...... No, that man won't overtake Captain Roger, never.

Shanks thought so, but his brow furrowed tightly, and he could not stretch it out.

——

Somewhere in the Great Voyage.

In the distance, a burst of yellow sand rose, and in the misty field of vision emerged one giant beast after another, with the trunk and trunk of an elephant, but running as fast as a horse.

The leader of the revolutionary army, Monchi M. D. Dragon was wrapped in an old green robe, blocking the oncoming wind and sand and the scorching sun.

On the back of the rickety elephant beast, he talked to people thousands of miles away, and talked for a long time.

Smack.

The dragon finally hung up the phone and withdrew the small phone bug into his arms, half of his red-tattooed face submerged in the shadow of the hood, silent, his eyes obscure.

"What's wrong, Dragon?" Sitting on another elephant beast, the great seafaring army with a big face propped up like an open umbrella, Anbrio Ivankov, asked, "Bad news?" ”

His hair and fur coat were snow-white and orange-yellow, and Ivankov's lieutenant, Lightning, rode the elephant beast.

He was a few feet behind and looked around warily.

"It should be good news." The dragon replied, "'That man' has unleashed the news that a grand ceremony will be held next month to integrate his forces into the 'Deep Sea Empire'. ”
