The Two-Billion-Berry Man! The Navy's Special Operations Unit!

After the meeting in the palace, Morgans quickly rode away on his hot air currents, eager to return to his loyal World Economic News to assume the presidency.

Roa naturally continued his journey back to Wano Country.

There are still quite a few powerful figures in the New World that you shouldn't mess with, so it's safer to stick with Big Brother Kaido for protection.

With all company affairs handled by designated personnel, I can finally take a short break.

Quietly waiting for the world to begin to burn, quietly waiting for myself to possess the power to act even more recklessly.

The day after Morgans left, a new newspaper brought new news.

"Wow! A new wanted poster, isn't it cool?"

Roa Ya held up a piece of paper high, exclaiming, "Now the whole world really knows me!"

Now that the news has leaked, the navy certainly cannot remain silent.

A statement has already been published in major newspapers around the world today.

It's basically about how Roa used the lives of naval soldiers to threaten Zephyr, and how he used the most despicable means to severely injure a veteran.

The entire message conveyed is singular: the Calamity Roa is all talk; if he didn't resort to underhanded tactics and actually went head-to-head with Black Arm Zephyr, he would only get utterly thrashed.

However, his words were sincere, his language was refined, and his emotional appeal was superb, which moved even Roa. In particular, there was the part where Zephyr, in order to save his disciple from a sudden attack by the enemy, had one of his arms cut off by the enemy, but still used his other hand to protect his disciple and said that it was just a mere arm.

Although it feels a bit familiar, it is indeed very moving.

Mr. Zephyr, what a wonderful person he is.

How could anyone be so evil!

That guy is called Roa--

Oh, it's just me.

The Navy's press release was so outrageous that I almost forgot I wrote it myself.

Roa didn't seem to care much about the World Government's denials.

To portray oneself as more evil is a good thing—no, it seems like one hasn't actually become more evil!

Is the self in the article more evil than the real self?

Those damned navy navy officers are utterly useless! Can't they even make up a story?

The photos turned out pretty good, though.

Roa looked at his face on the new wanted poster and nodded in satisfaction.

This time it's finally not in beast form, but in human form.

It was probably taken while he was standing on the snail's head, making threats to the navy according to the rules of the underworld. I have to say, to be able to take such a clear picture from that distance is truly remarkable; he must be a genius.

Now, with that face alone, he'll probably be surrounded by darkness wherever he goes.

"Two billion Beli, there are very few people in the entire world with a higher bounty than you, Boss."

Dylan stood beside the throne, smiling and praising.

"How stingy, isn't it? Only an increase of 500 million."

Roa said leisurely, "This time, I defeated Admiral. Although he was a former Admiral, have Uncle Shiki, Whitebeard, and the others ever done that?"

"While the Navy is publishing articles in the newspapers disparaging you, it's impossible for them to simultaneously raise your bounty to an outrageous level."

Dylan's smile remained unchanged. To be honest, a bounty of two billion was already outrageous, but of course he had to go along with his boss's words.

"But this time, we're offering a bounty on everyone."

Beneath the throne, Bullet and Abel were also looking at their wanted posters.

Their performance in the previous battle was equally outstanding, and the Navy took notice of their presence.

Bullet has a bounty of 460 million Beli.

Abel's bounty is even higher, a full 550 million Beli.

Dylan's bounty, which had been dormant for many years, also increased by more than 100 million, bringing it to a total of 500 million.

Bullet was very unhappy about this, as his bounty was the lowest.

But there's nothing we can do. Abel has a racial advantage, and Dylan had a bounty of over 300 million many years ago because of his cruel methods.

However, to be honest, the bounties for all three were inflated.

The bounties in this era weren't as outrageous as they would be thirty years later; even Chinjao only had a little over 500 million.

Since they all follow Roa, the bounty isn't based on strength, but on the level of danger.

"Even Judge has a bounty of 360 million,"

Dylan said, "Even on a global scale, there are very few organizations where all members have bounties on their heads."

Roa nodded slightly. After all, his small company didn't have many managers on the surface.

Even Judge is still highly regarded by the World Government.

There are very few top scientists in the world who have mastered the Lineage Factor.

What does it mean that everyone has a bounty on their head?

But then, some sharp voices rang out, Doflamingo angrily tore a newspaper to shreds, shouting, "What about me? I don't have a bounty on my head!"

Doflamingo, nine years old this year, is the only executive in the company who has not been put on a bounty.

I feel like I'm being bullied.

"Oh! Doflamingo!"

Roa suddenly realized, "I almost forgot about you! Just like in that previous battle, you were so barely noticeable. The Navy probably wouldn't put a bounty on a heavy cannon, would they?"

Doflamingo's biggest contribution in that previous battle was firing a few cannon shots.

"Damn the Navy, damn the World Government, they really underestimate me!"

And that wretched Roa! What do you mean by "one cannon"?!

Doflamingo flew into a rage, "Just you wait! One day, I'll make you pay!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

In any case, Calamity Company has certainly made a name for itself this time.

The bounty of two billion for Roa has once again shocked the world.

After that, when people mentioned Roa, they would subconsciously compare him to world-renowned names like Golden Lion and Whitebeard.

At the same moment, when Roa was not far from Wano Country, at Marine Headquarters.

In the Fleet Admiral's Office, Fleet Admiral Kong was discussing something with some naval staff officers.

Just then, the office door was kicked open forcefully.

Kong frowned immediately.

Which one is courting death?

Do you really think I can't lift a knife?

Looking up, I saw a man in a hospital gown standing at the door, with thick bandages peeking out from the gaps in his clothes.

His angry gaze softened for a moment, and he asked with some concern, "Zephyr, why didn't you rest properly before coming back?"

After several rounds of treatment, Zephyr was no longer in serious condition, but was still very weak. He then demanded aggressively, "Brother Kong, what do you mean by suspending the operation against Roa?"

Is it because of this?

Looking at Zephyr's angry face, Sora understood his emotions. Anyone who had experienced something like that would have had a similar reaction to Zephyr.

Therefore, the Fleet Admiral explained, "As you know, that brat is not someone we can easily deal with. To truly defeat him, we need to send at least two of our top fighters, not even counting Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, who are allies with him."

"Under normal circumstances, where would we find such leeway?"

To protect Mary Geoise, the G-1 base across the Red Line also requires a top-tier fighter to be stationed there year-round.

Even if the Fleet Admiral himself were to be stationed at Marineford, could the Navy's remaining two top combatants possibly be deployed simultaneously to relentlessly pursue that guy Roa?

Let's wait for the right opportunity.

He sighed.

The navy's strength is far from enough. After all, their enemies are not only the monsters of the New World, but also all the pirates in the world.

"I can't accept this!!"

Zephyr's eyes trembled. "Does that mean we should let that guy get away with it? No! No! That won't do!!"

He practically roared, "All pirates must die! Roa must die too!"

"Zephyr! Calm down!"

Kong couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Zephyr has been really shocked this time.

The kind and benevolent Zephyr had completely changed.

"How can I stay calm like this!"

Zephyr roared, "He killed so many people! So many young people were killed right before my eyes! And the other pirates, how many people in the world died because of them! How many families were torn apart because of them!"

"No! I absolutely cannot allow them to live peacefully!"

"Let's send out troops! Brother Kong, let's go clear out the New World first!"

Cleaning up the New World?

Kong's lips twitched slightly.

They really think highly of the navy these days.

"Zephyr, stop fooling around!"

At the crucial moment, a hand landed on Zephyr's shoulder, pulled him up, and turned Zephyr into a fluttering piece of clothing before slamming him against the back of a chair.

"Mmm! So refreshing!"

Zephyr's fury vanished instantly, replaced by a pleased smile.

Vice Admiral Tsuru rolled up his sleeves, his gaze calm. "Calm down."

The Paramecia Wash-Wash Fruit allows the user to wash people like clothes, not only removing their powers but also their "evil."

But the next second, black Inazuma crackled around the withered Zephyr, and he instantly returned to normal.

Its powerful Haki can resist or even neutralize the abilities of Devil Fruit.

"Call--"

Zephyr let out a slow sigh of relief.

Vice Admiral Tsuru's abilities did play a role.

But.

"I will never let Roa get away with this, nor will I let those pirates of the New World get away with it!"

Zephyr said, enunciating each word clearly, "Brother Kong, since headquarters can't deploy at will, let me do it. I'll form a Marine Guerrilla Unit to hunt down those pirates in the New World!"

His gaze was so unwavering that even Kong felt a little uneasy, as if refusing him would cause the Navy to lose Zephyr completely.

The Fleet Admiral could only sigh, "Then do it, but don't go too far."

Well, Garp also chases after Roger every few days, even though he never wins.

Too much?

Is it really going too far to fight pirates?

The navy... is indeed somewhat weak.

Zephyr turned and left without hesitation.

Next, I need to recover my strength. If I want to hunt down that guy Roa, I must return to my peak!

Watching his retreating figure, Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed, "Zephyr's heart is filled with rage."

Fleet Admiral Kong forced an awkward smile. "The good news is that Zephyr has regained his fighting spirit and might be able to return to his peak."
