Who made him the Pirate King?

"Four billion Baileys?!"

Warring States clearly saw the number of the bounty of [Sekiryuutei], and he was suddenly shocked.

"The first time the bounty was offered, a figure of 4 billion beli was set... This should be unprecedented, right?"

Even Rocks D. Gibek back then.

Even Gol D. Roger back then.

The bounty amounts of these legendary pirates continue to accumulate as their pirate careers continue to increase.

In the memory of the Warring States Period, there had never been a newcomer to the sea who could have such an exaggerated bounty when he was first offered a bounty by the navy.

"The amount of the Sekiryuutei's bounty is 4.2315 billion beli, not 'four billion'."

Lieutenant General He corrected Sengoku's mistake in a calm tone, and then continued.

"But this is indeed an unprecedented first-time reward amount."

"Ahe."

Warring States held the reward order in his hand and looked at Lieutenant General He with a little hesitation.

"Is this bounty too high?"

Looking at the entire sea, who are the biggest pirates with a bounty of more than 4 billion beli?

Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

Kaido of all beasts!

BIG MOM Charlotte Lingling!

Red-haired Shanks!

Not one more.

It is not difficult to see from these four names.

In the eyes of the Navy Headquarters, the bounty amount of 4 billion beli is almost equal to that of the Pirate Emperor!

For example, red-haired Shanks.

The red-haired man only became the fourth pirate emperor this year, and his bounty amount only barely exceeded 4 billion beli.

4 billion 48.9 million Baileys, this is the amount of red-haired Shanks' bounty.

You must know that being the Pirate Emperor is not that easy.

Strength, fame, wealth, influence, territory... all kinds of conditions are indispensable.

The Warring States Period recognized Sekiryuutei's strength.

But the other party's "territory of influence" seems to be completely absent.

Can a pirate emperor without a "country" still be called an emperor?

"I watched the live broadcast of today's execution at my headquarters and on the warship."

Lieutenant General He said calmly.

“As far as my personal feeling is concerned, the bounty amount of 4.2315 million Baileys is only too low for the Sekiryuutei.

"In addition, I can tell you very frankly that there are countless people in the sea now who regard the Sekiryuutei as the fifth pirate emperor!"

There are five Yonko in the New World. Isn't this normal?

Warring States sighed again and stopped talking.

He lowered his head and silently checked the reward order in his hand.

Except for the Sekiryuutei.

Lieutenant General He also brought several other reward orders.

【Whitebeard II Edward Teach】

[Reward amount: 2.523 billion Baileys]

[Reward level: DEAD OR ALIVE (regardless of life or death)]

Another reward order with a bounty of over 2 billion beli!

Warring States looked at the face of Whitebeard II on the reward order. He didn't feel that the number was too high, but rather that it was too low.

Outsiders don't know the strength of Whitebeard II.

Sengoku, as the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, is still very clear.

Whitebeard II, single-handedly defeated the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the Five Old Stars.

If we want to talk about real strength.

Sengoku even felt that Whitebeard II was probably, maybe, maybe... a little stronger than the Sekiryuutei.

Even if he underestimates it further, Whitebeard II's strength should be on par with the Sekiryuutei.

After all, Whitebeard II is the "Lightning Man" who ate the invincible [Thunder Fruit]!

Warring States continued to look down, and the third reward order was the personal reward of Golden Lion II.

【Golden Lion II·Lane】

[Reward amount: 2.2857 billion Baileys]

[Reward level: DEAD OR ALIVE (regardless of life or death)]

Golden Lion II, like Whitebeard II, also has a bounty of more than 2 billion beli.

Warring States also felt that the reward amount was a bit low.

Golden Lion II's record is not as good as Whitebeard II's, but he can also fight back and forth with Porusalino.

The bounty amount of 2.2 billion is too low for a pirate who can fight fiercely with the admiral of the Navy Headquarters...

Warring States continued to look back, and the face of a very unfamiliar young man with black hair appeared on the reward order.

【? (Natsu)]

[Reward amount: 500 million Baileys]

[Reward level: DEAD OR ALIVE (regardless of life or death)]

"Who is this person?"

Warring States raised the unfamiliar reward order in his hand to Lieutenant General He.

"How come I haven't seen it before?"

"This person is indeed with the Red Dragon Emperor, White Beard II, and Golden Lion II. He also appeared on the floating island before, but this person did not take action."

Lieutenant General He told the story calmly.

"I have just confirmed the news with Porusalino. The name of this 'Fire Man' is temporarily unknown, but he has very powerful fire abilities.

"According to Porusalino, the strength level of this unknown 'Fire Man' is at the very least comparable to the Beast Pirates' big sign, Flame Calamity."

Yan Liangjin is another big pirate with a bounty of more than 1 billion beli.

He Zhong will use a simple example.

This made Warring States understand the strength level of this "Fire Man".

For a "Fire Man" whose strength level can compete with Yan Calamity, the bounty amount of 500 million beli is a bit low...

"All right."

Warring States turned to the last reward notice.

This reward order is even more extreme than the previous reward order.

[Reward amount: 500 million Baileys]

[Reward level: DEAD OR ALIVE (regardless of life or death)]

Warring States looked at this dark, devoid of portraits, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

"What's going on?"

"It's also intelligence information from Porusalino."

Lieutenant General He explained in a calm tone.

“Polusalino went to Beehive Island before and had brief contact with Sekiryuutei’s group.

"He told me with great confidence that, in addition to the Sekiryuutei and the other four, there was also an unknown person hidden among their group who could temporarily deprive others of their five sense abilities.

"The other party's ability development level... according to Porusalino, he personally feels that the other party's level should be close to it, or has reached the [awakening] state.

"Otherwise, ordinary ability users would not be able to use their abilities on Porusalino."

A person with abilities who seems to have mastered the [Awakening] level Devil Fruit power.

The reward amount of 500 million Baileys is indeed not an exaggeration, and is even a bit low...

Um?

Warring States was suddenly startled and noticed something was wrong.

Why do you feel that the bounty figures for these bounty orders are all a bit low?

Warring States looked through several reward notices in his hand.

[Sekiryuutei], with a bounty of 4.2315 billion beli.

[Whitebeard II], with a bounty of 2.523 billion beli.

[Golden Lion II], the reward amount is 2.2857 billion beli.

[Fire Man/Person with Five Senses], the reward is 500 million beli.

After a rough calculation by the Warring States Period, he discovered to his surprise that just for these five people, the sum of their bounties together exceeded tens of billions of beli!

"Ten billion Baileys?!"

Warring States was dumbfounded and shocked.

A super pirate group with a total bounty of over 10 billion Baileys.

His first feeling was...

Is the bounty amount for this pirate group member too low?

What happened to this era?

"Have you finally discovered it, Sengoku?"

Lieutenant General He said in a faint tone.

“The bounty amount for the Sekiryuutei and his subordinates is already as low as I tried my best to lower it.

"If we really want to use the bounty amount to express their threat to the navy, the government, and the world, 10 billion beli is definitely not enough.

"In addition, I must remind you that the Sekiryuutei's subordinates are currently only exposed to these four people.

"Are there any other pirates on that island in the sky... We don't know anything about it.

"Now, do you still think the bounty amount of the Sekiryuutei is too high?"

Lieutenant General He's tone was not intense.

But after hearing this, Warring States still felt his scalp numb.

"...Forgive me, Ahe, just pretend that I never said that before."

Sengoku dug out Sekiryuutei's reward order again and placed it directly on top of a stack of reward orders.

The navy marshal stared at the face on the reward order, and the more he looked at it, the more awkward he became.

The red dragon and the white dragon have exactly the same appearance.

In order to distinguish between the two.

The naval staff made a temporary bounty order for [Sekiryuutei], and the captured photo was of Sekiryuutei after he transformed into a dragon.

To be precise -

The Sekiryuutei who lit up his golden eyes!

Warring States looked at the reward order in his hand.

The Sekiryuutei's indifferent golden eyes were also looking at the marshal of the Navy Headquarters.

"The Sekiryuutei...and...the White Dragon."

Sengoku hesitated, but finally pronounced the name.

"Vongola Storm.

"What is the relationship between the two of them?"

brother?

Relatives?

stranger?

Or even... a clone?

One conjecture after another emerged in Sengoku's mind.

"I don't know about that either."

Lieutenant General He took out the phone bug that he had prepared long ago.

"But why not just ask Storm?"

Warring States took a deep breath and took the phone bug from Lieutenant General He's hand.

He hesitated for a moment, then directly dialed the familiar phone number.

After a period of ringing that seemed like seconds passed.

The phone bug finally got through.

Warring States held the phone's receiver and spoke with a slight hesitation.

"Lieutenant General Storm?"

"Hoo ho!"

Storm's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, I thought you would call me 'Red Dragon Emperor'..."

As soon as these words came out, Warring States frowned, and then relaxed.

"It seems that you have understood my intention of calling you, Lieutenant General Storm."

Warring States stared at the phone bug in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Do you know the true identity of Sekiryuutei?"

"...?"
