His bounty increased by another 500 million Belly in one go, not far from the level of Big Brother Kaido and Uncle Ochoku.

1.5 billion Belly, a terrifying number on the current seas.

Even Uncle Whitebeard and Shiki were not yet at 3 billion, and a lone monster like Redfield was only a little over 2 billion. Only Roger had a bounty exceeding 3 billion.

Roa was a little excited.

After all, in the world of pirates, bounty is a symbol of status.

With this bounty, no matter where he went, as long as he stood there, black energy should flow into his account.

But Roa quickly remembered that he was no longer a pirate. He would be a law-abiding entrepreneur from now on.

Should he contact the World Government and ask them to revoke his wanted poster?

Roa felt a little troubled.

It was all Captain Rocks' fault for leading him astray. Now it was not easy to stage a comeback as a prodigal son.

Oh right, Kaido's bounty also increased, but not as exaggerated as Roa's, only a 100 million Belly increase as a token gesture.

This angered Kaido greatly, who felt the World Government was looking down on him. When he fought Garp, he was the true core main force, wasn't he?

Without him holding the front line, Roa would have been beaten into a pig's head by Garp's two punches.

However, regardless, Roa's new wanted poster spread throughout the world in a very short time.

At a time when the former executives of the Rocks Pirates were expanding wildly and making names for themselves, the rise of another former executive of the Rocks Pirates undoubtedly made the already sensitive nerves of the world tighten once again.

"Roa? That monster who had a bounty of 1 billion Belly at the age of seven is still alive?"

"He's only thirteen this year! 1.5 billion Belly? Is the government serious?"

"Unimaginable, what kind of monster is that!"

"There are more and more monsters in the New World, what will this world turn into!"

People's laments echoed everywhere.

They all felt that the world was rotten and on the verge of destruction at any moment.

It could only be said that people were still too optimistic. This was just the beginning.

Compared to the ordinary people on the sea, Roa's old acquaintances reacted even more strongly.

Whole Cake Island Sea.

"This brat has really grown up!"

Charlotte Linlin held a wanted poster, furious, "His bounty is almost catching up to me! Kaido that brat's bounty also increased, did they act together?"

"It seems they have really joined forces, Mother."

The eldest son, Perospero, had a complicated expression. "If that's the case, the Beasts Pirates cannot be underestimated."

That kid is still a monster as always!

Beside him, Katakuri was foolishly happy, holding a wanted poster.

He's grown up, Roa!

But I haven't wasted my time these past few years either!

I really look forward to the moment we meet again!

A certain sky in the New World.

On an island floating in the sky.

"Jiehahahaha! Brat, you really chose Kaido?"

The man, as wild as a lion, laughed loudly. "Don't let me catch you!"

A certain sea area in the latter half of the New World.

A large ship, like a whale, cut through the waves.

"Tsk, this damn brat is still alive?"

Whitebeard, wearing a captain's horned hat and with brilliant long golden hair, irritably crumpled the wanted poster in his hand. "What a buzzkill."

"Old man,"

Beside him, a young pineapple-headed man asked curiously, "Weren't you once comrades?"

"We just happened to be on the same ship."

Whitebeard sneered. "I and that damn brat are not on the same path."

He paused, looking at his sons who seemed to understand but not quite, "Be careful if you meet that brat in the future. He's a born scoundrel, and yet, a scoundrel with monstrous power!"

The pineapple-headed man nodded subconsciously.

Monster?

Even Old Man has to call him a monster?

At the same time, on Beehive Island, in the Kuja Kingdom, and in every corner of the world, former members of the Rocks Pirates let out similar exclamations.

"That monster kid has grown up!"

On an island in the New World, pirates holding a banquet were also discussing animatedly.

"No way!"

A kid with blue hair and a red nose exclaimed, "Is he really only thirteen?"

"Of course, it's true. That kid joined the Rocks Pirates at five, and his first bounty was 300 million. By seven, his bounty had reached one billion."

A man with blond hair and gold-rimmed glasses, who appeared somewhat refined, said with a smile, "Although I haven't fought him, I've heard he's an incredible monster."

"Whoa!"

The red-nosed one was dumbfounded.

Thirteen years old, that meant he was only six years older than him?

He was seven this year, with a bounty of zero.

And that guy...

"So amazing!"

Beside him, the child with red hair looked on with anticipation, "I really want to meet him."

"There will be opportunities."

Nearby, a man who had gradually grown a beard raised his hand and ruffled the straw hat on the red-haired child's head. "In the future, he should be your opponent, Buggy, Shanks!"

"L-leave it to me, Buggy-sama!"

The red-nosed one's legs trembled.

The red-haired boy asked curiously, "Captain, why would we be opponents?"

"Why?"

Roger smiled. "Who knows?"

Perhaps it was because Rocks said that kid was his successor.

Marine Headquarters, new recruit training camp.

"A new star symbolizing evil has emerged among the pirates of the New World!"

The stern-faced, purple-haired Marine chief instructor shouted, "The world will become more chaotic with his rise! The people are calling for the power of justice!"

"And you are the future hope of the Marines!"

Among the Marine recruits lined up, two stood out: one wore a Marine hat with a serious expression, and the other wore sunglasses, looking nonchalant.

"Strive, soldiers! The world awaits your debut!"

And in the Marine Headquarters building on the same island.

The Marine Fleet Admiral slammed the table forcefully. "We absolutely cannot allow that kid to grow! He has the potential to become a second Rocks, no, even surpass him!"

The world rippled slightly because of Roa.

Meanwhile, on Roa's side, the initial excitement had passed, and Roa was enthusiastically watching the battle between Abel and Bullet.

Bullet was somewhat displeased with Roa's decision to appoint Abel as the head of the security department and have him serve as a close bodyguard.

He was the Boss's personal bodyguard!

Of course, his dissatisfaction wasn't directed at Roa, but at Abel.

Thus, Roa's left and right-hand men began to fight.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two were engaged in close-quarters combat, punching each other with manly blows.

Doflamingo, watching from the side, twitched his eyes.

The newcomer was also a monster!

Bullet's fists, wrapped in Haki, had no effect on Abel.

The clanging sounds were lively, but in reality, they couldn't harm Abel in the slightest.

"The Lunarian race possesses the strongest defense!"

Judge, who had taken time off to watch, exclaimed in surprise, "I wonder how it compares to the exoskeleton I designed!"

"His strength is still quite a bit behind Bullet's," Dylan said.

Although he was two years older, Abel's strength was still inferior to the naturally born monster Bullet. Furthermore, since he couldn't even use Haki, his fists couldn't inflict any damage on Bullet.

"Bullet?"

Abel's eyes became serious. "You're very strong!"

As expected of the Boss's subordinate, his strength is not to be underestimated.

"I'm getting serious now."

Abel flapped his wings and took to the sky, the makeshift sword in his hand engulfed in flames.

"It's appearing!"

Judge continued his commentary, "The Lunarian race's ability to control fire!"

"Fire?"

Bullet showed no fear. "Then I'll let you see the ability the Boss bestowed upon me!"

Half of his body had already turned into mercury vapor.

If physical attacks don't work, then victory will be decided by temperature and toxicity!

"Logia?"

Kaido, who was sitting cross-legged beside Roa and also watching the fight, looked down at Roa in surprise.

Roa shrugged. "The fruit I snatched from God Valley."

"..."

Kaido fell silent.

He silently took out his gourd and took a swig of alcohol.

"Fire Dragon Emperor!"

Abel had unleashed a long, fiery dragon.

"You're still far from it!"

Bullet roared, swinging his fist with all his might, the mercury vapor transforming into a roaring tsunami.

Accompanied by a roar, a furious aura surged forth.

Kaido's hand, holding the gourd, suddenly paused, and he looked back at Roa.

Roa spread his hands.

Kaido then raised his gourd high.

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

I need to find someone with Conqueror's Haki too!

Not long after.

"Oh!"

Roa stood atop the snail once more, gazing at the island rising high on the distant sea. Waterfalls cascaded down steep, towering mountain cliffs.

"We've finally arrived! Wano Country!"
