Chapter 114 Navy-Customized Bounty
Kong Kong glanced around at everyone, coughed, and said, "Alright, now we have a general understanding of the situation. Regarding the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons, I wonder what everyone's thoughts or opinions are."
However, this concerned the Celestial Dragons. No one was willing to speak up, and no one wanted to get involved in this trouble.
After a long silence with no one answering, Sengoku said helplessly, "Back then in the Sabaody Archipelago, there were only a handful of people who had the ability and dared to do this, weren't there?"
Staff Officer He nodded seriously: "Sengoku, do you mean Minos and his group?"
A glint of light flashed in Sengoku's eyes as he nodded: "Of course, they are the most likely and the only ones who would dare to do this."
After listening carefully to Sengoku's words, Kong felt that they made a lot of sense. Given the circumstances at the time, they were the only ones left.
Kizaru curled his lip: "Even if it's not Minos and his group, as long as we pin the blame on them, that's fine."
Well, Kizaru's words successfully drew everyone's attention to him.
The look of astonishment in their eyes as they gazed at Kizaru was one of surprise; they hadn't expected Kizaru to come up with such a desperate, albeit imperfect, solution. However, it was the most suitable option for the current situation.
Sengoku gave a thumbs-up: "What Kizaru said actually makes a lot of sense."
Kong reluctantly said, "Since that's the case, let's leave the matter of the Celestial Dragons at that! Now, let's talk about Minos and that Shadow King!"
No one remained silent; at this moment, no one was willing to answer questions concerning Minos.
Judging from the past few battles, it is clear that their navy has been consistently at a disadvantage.
In the Sabaody Archipelago, Garp, Kizaru, and Rayleigh all failed to defeat Minos.
Now, no matter how you look at it, their navy has no way to deal with Minos.
After a long silence, Staff Officer Tsuru said helplessly, "It's a pity that our navy currently has no way to deal with Minos, but it is certain that once Minos enters the New World, he will inevitably engage in a fierce battle with the Emperor of the New World."
Staff Officer He glanced at everyone and said seriously, "Minos is too powerful and will inevitably force his way into the New World. At that time, he will step into the territories of the other emperors..."
Sengoku took over from Tsuru and said solemnly, "Whether it's Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shanks, or Kaido, none of them want to lose face, so a major battle is inevitable."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Staff Officer He's eyes: "Why don't we just sit back and reap the benefits, and let them fight like dogs!"
Kong Kong carefully analyzed what Staff Officer Tsuru and Sengoku had said, pondering deeply. In fact, what they said made a lot of sense. At present, the Navy had no way to deal with Minos and the others, so it was better to let them kill each other.
After a long while, Steel Bone's heavy voice rang out.
"That's settled then. Let Minos and the other emperors fight amongst themselves! We just need to maintain order and then reap the benefits."
"Agreed." After Steelbone Kong said this, everyone thought it was a good idea and immediately agreed.
Suddenly, Staff Officer He's voice rang out again.
Since we're letting Minos and his crew fight each other with the pirates of the New World, let's increase the bounties on Minos and his crew!
what!
Sengoku smiled slightly and said, "Advisor He is right. Let's increase the bounty! Let them dislike and distrust each other."
Kizaru, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "Then what would be a suitable amount? Too much, and the pirates will say that our Navy can't handle Minos anymore; too little, and no one will be willing to take action."
After a long silence, Advisor Crane spoke seriously: "Let's set Minos at 40 billion Berries! And Shadow King at 22 billion, and Shadow General at 20 billion Berries."
Sengoku spoke seriously: "Minos's is more suitable, but wouldn't it be a bit too few for the Shadow King and the Shadow Soldiers?"
Kizaru pursed his lips again and said, "That Shadow General is very strong. I was completely suppressed by him in swordsmanship."
Staff Officer He shook his head and said, "This is their first time offering a bounty, there's no need to set it too high."
"Okay, that's settled then. Staff Officer Steelbone Sora said a lot and just settled it outright."
Next, let's quickly create the bounty and release it across the sea! (Actually, guys, I feel like I've tried to write as little as possible about the navy, but this is about all I have. I think I'm better suited to writing long novels, since that allows for more padding. (◣_◢))
……
On the Moby Dick in the New World.
The Whitebeard Pirates were completely silent at this moment, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Whitebeard stared at the newspaper in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, Marco and the other captains beside him looked worried.
Who would have thought that such a big thing would happen so soon?
It was clearly agreed that the Fifth Emperor Minos would always fight alone, so what's with the Shadow King and Shadow Soldiers that have suddenly appeared?
Isn't this just like all their previous guesses being about the Joker?
After a long silence, Whitebeard sighed, "I never expected Shakky and that old man Rayleigh to actually appear in the Sabaody Archipelago! It's just that I won't be able to see Shakky again!"
Marco, standing nearby, said worriedly, "Rayleigh is very strong, yet he almost died."
If we were to ask who among everyone present was most qualified to say that Rayleigh was strong, he would be one of the most qualified.
During the great battle with Roger's pirate crew, he excitedly challenged Rayleigh, only to be easily defeated by Rayleigh with a single finger.
Although he was still very weak at that time, Rayleigh was undeniably powerful.
Marco's words made the atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates even more serious. Even Rayleigh almost died, so if they encountered Minos, wouldn't they be completely finished?
After a long silence, Whitebeard burst into laughter: "No need to worry. What are the Five Emperors Minos and the Shadow King? If they dare to come, I will defeat them..."
Whitebeard stood up, unleashing a powerful aura, and shouted, "I am Whitebeard!"
The Whitebeard Pirates shouted loudly.
Yes! Old Man Whitebeard, you know? Minos and Shadow King are no match for him.
That's right, that's right. Dad is the strongest man in the world, isn't he?
Hmph? If Minos and the Shadow King dare to come, we'll teach them a lesson.
That's right, Minos and the Shadow King are nothing special.
Marco looked at the excited crowd and a sense of worry flashed through his mind.
They are family, and he shouldn't interrupt them, otherwise it would hurt their feelings.
Like Marco, Whitebeard's eyes were filled with worry. Only he knew the absolute pressure of facing two Emperor-level powerhouses at the same time, as well as a shadow soldier who was watching him with predatory eyes.
If a battle were to actually break out, the Whitebeard Pirates could suffer heavy losses.
In one corner of the ship, a fat, dark-skinned man was fiddling with something.
If you get closer, you'll hear the fat, dark-skinned man whispering, "Is this guy's ability really the Dark-Dark Fruit's power? But he doesn't look like it."
The fat, dark-skinned man grinned: "Minos, we'll meet again."
