World Destroyer!
"Ha ha!"
Bondi Byrnndi World stood at the bow of the ship, laughing wildly as the sea breeze rushed towards him.
"I knew it was that brat! I've been thinking about him for so long!"
When I passed by this warship before, I didn't really want to pay it any attention, because it had just annihilated a fleet of three warships a few days ago.
Oh, and there was also a luxurious ship flying the World Government flag, which seemed to be the royal ship of some kingdom. The amount of treasure on board was simply astonishing.
In short, we've just had our fun, and this mere warship isn't even enough to satisfy our hunger.
But to everyone's surprise, Byrnndi World glanced at it and suddenly felt a sudden urge, a feeling that most people might have overlooked.
But for a master like him, who had been immersed in Haki for decades, this was a harbinger he could believe; there must be something on that warship that was attracting him.
He then had someone move closer, and then activated his Observation Haki to scan the area, immediately sensing a somewhat familiar aura.
Byrnndi World pondered for several minutes before recalling the two troublesome kids he had encountered two years ago, and how he had been tricked!
That's right. A month or two later, he found out about the Devil Fruit ability of Vice Admiral Amyz, the commander of the G-2 Branch, and naturally guessed what Garp was all about.
To be honest, if he were to go back to that time, he would still choose to leave. Like I said, he wouldn't dare to gamble!
Unexpectedly, I ran into that kid again today, and it seemed he was alone!
As for the other people on the warship, Byrnndi World didn't take them seriously at all; they were just a bunch of small fry, and he would leave them to Sebastian others to deal with later.
The shipwright Gairam, carrying a large iron hammer on his back, walked over and asked, "Captain, do you know who's on that warship?"
Look here, Byrnndi World's brother, First Mate Binjack, the giant fish Sebastian, the ship's doctor Nacil, and many other crew members.
"Of course, do you still remember that tree boy we encountered two years ago? His scent lingered on that warship!" Bundy Byrnndi World gave a mocking sneer.
"It's him!!"
A group of people shouted in unison, "Vidal and Yixiao's performance at that time was quite outstanding. They were actually able to block their captain's Hundredfold Speed!"
"That's him! Go full speed ahead and chase after him! Let's see where he can run this time!"
"Yes!"
At the other end of the warship, Vidal came to the deck, where three Lieutenants, including Rogers, were also present, looking solemnly at the World Pirates were constantly firing cannonballs at them.
"I've already sent people to request reinforcements from headquarters and the nearest branch. Our task now is to do our best to hold them off."
Vidal showed no tension, instead displaying that familiar smile, and said, "As long as we stall until reinforcements arrive, or until we find the island, nothing will happen."
"Colonel, the nearest branch should be the G-8 Branch." Lieutenant Brandon, who had transferred from Sengoku's command, spoke with hesitation.
"If I remember correctly, the commander there was Vice Admiral Dewitt, who had only recently been promoted."
Vidal raised an eyebrow. He knew about Rear Admiral Dewitt's promotion to Vice Admiral and then commander. He had previously thought it was a good thing, since the new commander of Navarone Fortress was an acquaintance.
However, under these special circumstances, this good thing doesn't seem so good after all. Lieutenant Brandon's words were actually a questioning of whether Dewitt's abilities were sufficient.
After all, the opponent was Bundy Byrnndi World, whose bounty was a whopping 200 million! And the newly promoted Vice Admiral were generally not very strong.
After all, this is reality, not a game. You can't expect your strength to immediately increase to the corresponding level just because you've been promoted.
Just then, as if fate felt that Vidal's morale wasn't low enough, the marine who had run to the office to report earlier came running from the cabin with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Colonel Vidal! This is the latest bounty poster for Bundy Byrnndi World, just sent from headquarters!" If the marines were just flustered before, they were now terrified.
Vidal took the paper expressionlessly—a wanted poster. He glanced at its contents and thought, "Hmm, it's definitely a surprise."
The nine-digit number that started with a 2 has now become a 5!
Bondi Byrnndi World, with a bounty of 500 million Beli!!
In this era, the meaning of this number is indeed terrifying, and it's no wonder that this marine, who had only recently graduated, was so frightened.
"Headquarters also said that Bundy Byrnndi World is now known as the 'World Destroyer,' and his fate is irrelevant!"
Silence fell on the deck, and many sailors' faces turned ashen.
"Looks like this guy's done something pretty impressive lately. What has he done?" Vidal asked.
"A month and a half ago, the World Pirates attacked the royal ship of the Kingdom of South Blue and the three warships responsible for its escort."
Now Vidal understood that the Reverie, held every four years, would take place next year, and most of the kingdoms located in the Four Blues and holding seats at the conference would arrive at Sabaody Archipelago in advance.
After all, the climate on the Grand Line is far too chaotic, and this way, we can not only wait for the meeting to start, but also take this opportunity to enjoy ourselves on the island for a while.
For example, you could visit an amusement park, buy a slave at an auction, and if you're lucky, you might even meet Celestial Dragons, Celestial Dragons.
The reason Bondi Byrnndi World's bounty rose so quickly is probably not because he destroyed those three warships, but because he attacked Affiliated Nation family that held a seat.
This is the most intolerable thing for the World Government, and this is probably where the title of "World Destroyer" comes from.
It doesn't refer to destroying the world, but rather to disrupting the Reverie, which is also a serious crime!
"Whether it's two hundred million or five hundred million, it's still a troublesome matter for us, so it makes no difference." Vidal casually rolled up the bounty poster and threw it into the sea.
"Pay attention, everyone! You all seem to only notice how strong the opponent is, but you've overlooked the fact that I'm no weakling either!"
Colonel Vidal
Rogers and the others looked over in confusion. What did this mean? Could it be that their lord could defeat a pirate with a bounty of 500 million?
"In short, stop looking so dejected and get ready for battle!" With that, Vidal took a few steps forward, passing the crowd to the very edge of the stern.
It's normal for his marines to lack confidence in himself. Those hundred men who transferred from the Iceburg Sengoku are better off, since they've seen a glimpse of him.
The remaining 700 men were all fresh recruits from school, and they knew nothing about themselves. But things should get better after this battle with Bundy Byrnndi World.
After all, there is no such thing as trust without a reason in this world!
"Let's say hello first, World Destroyer." Vidal squinted and slowly raised his right hand, a layer of green light appearing on it.
The next moment, the World Pirates' ship, hundreds of meters away, suddenly stopped, and then sharp logs sprouted from all directions, plunging the pirates into chaos.
Thank you very much for waking up and I am very touched by my 200 reward!! Thank you, thank you!
I just rewatched 3D2Y. I originally thought that the $500 million bounty and the title of World Destroyer were earned after he escaped from Impel Down and caused trouble. I didn't expect that the bounty had already increased from $200 million to $500 million before he was captured, and that he had already earned the title.
Furthermore, my statement that he attacked the Royal Ship flying the World Government flag and three warships wasn't just a random thing to say; there was indeed a scene in the movie, and the fact that his bounty increased to 500 million happened right after that incident.
Finally, I calculated the time of the Reverie, and 1492 was also the year the conference was held, so the plot I wrote here is reasonable.
The speculation surrounding this title is not without merit; it suggests that he had a serious impact on the Reverie, with "damage" being a slight exaggeration.
It doesn't mean he has the power to destroy the world.
