The Red Dragon Emperor's Bounty!

"The Governor has appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Why has the governor's color turned red?"

"Why are there two governors?"

Excluding the Red-Haired Pirates, among the three Emperor Pirates of the New World, the Beasts Pirates, based in Wano Country, reacted most strongly to the appearance of the "Red Dragon Emperor".

The moment the Red Dragon Emperor's "Red Dragon Form" appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago.

From the Lead Performer to the ordinary henchmen, everyone in the Beasts Pirates thought that their pirate crew's governor had inexplicably wandered off to the Sabaody Archipelago.

As for why the dragon on Sabaody Archipelago is "red" instead of "blue-green"...

Beasts Kaido's ultimate technique is none other than the "Fire Dragon Torch," isn't it?

When the "Fire Dragon Torch" was unleashed.

Beasts Kaido's color will also change from "Blue Dragon" to "Red Dragon".

However, when the Red Dragon Emperor's true form was fully revealed to the world...

A deathly silence fell over the Beasts Pirates.

What could be more embarrassing than mistaking your own Captain?

How could two dragons be so similar in the world?

As for Beasts Kaido himself, he also fell into a state of extreme confusion the moment he saw the Red Dragon Emperor.

If someone were imitating his face, Beasts Kaido wouldn't be in such a state of chaos.

But that "Red Dragon Emperor" completely imitated his [Azure Dragon Fruit] ability!

Flame Cloud, roaring thunder, Heat Breath, Bad Wind...

Beasts Kaido possesses the same skills as that red dragon!

What troubled Beasts Kaido was...

The Red Dragon Emperor's use of the [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit] seems to be even more powerful than Beasts Kaido's own!

At this point.

Even disregarding combat performance, just looking at the battle result is sufficient.

The Red Dragon Emperor descended upon the Sabaody Archipelago, defeating a host of powerful figures, including Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Pirate Emperor Red-Haired Shanks!

Beasts Kaido asked himself this question.

What would be the outcome of a battle if he were to face both Buddha Sengoku and Shanks at the same time?

We will win!

Beasts Kaido longed to declare victory with such confidence.

However, touching the huge scar on his chest left by Kozuki Oden's "Peach Garden Ten Fists Spring," he couldn't bring himself to speak with such confidence.

The Red-Haired Pirates were able to stand out from the competition and become the fourth Pirate Emperor of the New World, despite the pressure from the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the BIG MOM Pirates.

This only proves one thing.

The Red-Haired Pirates possess the strength to contend with the other three Emperor Pirates!

At least Beasts Kaido has fought against Shanks.

In Beasts Kaido's view...

Shanks is far stronger than that old woman who only ate and drank on Cake Island!

Even Kozuki Oden then was far inferior to Shanks today.

If Beasts Kaido were to engage in a life-or-death battle with Shanks...

He really didn't have absolute confidence that he could beat that seemingly ordinary, even somewhat silly, "Red-Haired."

But that's Shanks.

They were actually defeated by the Red Dragon Emperor!

Moreover, the Red Dragon Emperor defeated Shanks one day and then Sengoku the Buddha Sengoku the next.

'Am I weaker than the Red Dragon Emperor?'

This idea inevitably crossed Beasts Kaido's mind.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Beasts Kaido would absolutely not accept that his strength could be surpassed by an "imposter".

"An expedition! I will personally lead an expedition to the Sabaody Archipelago!"

An expedition to the Marine Headquarters... that's impossible.

Beasts Kaido isn't a fool like Golden Lion Shiki.

This guy may seem rough around the edges, but he's actually very shrewd and cunning.

If Beasts Kaido were to head straight for the Marine Headquarters now, he'd genuinely worry he wouldn't be able to return to Wano Country...

An expedition against the Red Dragon Emperor and his pirate crew... that's impossible.

Beasts Kaido witnessed the Red Dragon Emperor's power firsthand, and he also saw the Red Dragon Emperor's subordinates.

Whitebeard the Second.

Golden Lion II.

One ate the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit], and the other ate the [Float-Float Fruit].

If Beasts Kaido were to launch an expedition against the "Red Dragon Pirates," wouldn't that be tantamount to challenging the "Rocks Pirates" of yesteryear?

That's even more dangerous than directly challenging Marine Headquarters!

At least the Marine Headquarters won't be constantly garrisoned by multiple incredibly powerful monsters!

The expeditionary Marine Headquarters is not an option.

An expedition against the Red Dragon Emperor would be far too dangerous.

Beasts Kaido has no choice but to launch an expedition to the Sabaody Archipelago!

This time, before the expedition, Beasts Kaido specifically summoned his trusted lieutenants to his presence.

King the Conflagration.

The Queen the Plague.

And the newly appointed Jack the Drought.

Beasts Kaido entrusted the task of guarding the house to his three Lead Performer, and then gave them a special instruction.

"Mobilize your forces to find the Shichibukai, White Dragon!"

Beasts Kaido said earnestly.

"That guy has the same face as the Red Dragon Emperor; he might be the Red Dragon Emperor's brother..."

"In short, let's find that guy first!"

"What's more, the White Dragon has clashed with us several times!"

A few days ago.

Beasts Kaido launched his expedition to Dressrosa, originally intending to search for traces of the White Dragon on that island.

However, instead of finding White Dragon, he ran into Kizaru.

Kizaru is slippery, like an eel.

Beasts Kaido fought Kizaru, but after sobering up, he abandoned him and returned to Wano Country.

If he had known that today's Execution Incident of Pluton Rayleigh would cause such a huge sensation...

He certainly won't "go home" so soon; he'll be waiting for him on the Sabaody Archipelago!

But it's too late to say anything now...

I just hope I'll meet some interesting people on this trip to Sabaody Archipelago!

At least one of the numbered islands must be destroyed!

No...

Beasts Kaido reconsidered.

The Red Dragon Emperor destroyed two islands.

He has to blow up at least four seats—no!

Five numbered islands are required!

Filled with ambition and resentment at not being second to anyone, Beasts Kaido left Onigashima and embarked on an expedition.

The Pirate Emperor of the New World were shocked and horrified by the matter of the Red Dragon Emperor.

The Shichibukai, one of the "Three Great Powers of the Grand Line" alongside the Marine Headquarters and the Pirate Emperor, were also shocked by the appearance of the Red Dragon Emperor.

An island in the East Blue.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk stared silently at the now completely extinguished live stream screen, a deep sense of regret flashing across his eyes.

"If I had known this Execution Incident would attract such a powerful figure, I should have gone to take a look... Red Dragon Emperor!"

The Red Dragon Emperor was not a swordsman.

There's only one reason why Hawk Eyes Mihawk is interested in the Red Dragon Emperor—

The other person has a face exactly like White Dragon's!

Others were unaware of White Dragon's strength level.

But how could Hawk Eyes Mihawk, who had once experienced the power of White Dragon's Peerless Clay Fist, not know this?

"I wonder who is stronger, the Red Dragon Emperor or the White Dragon..."

With a strange mix of thoughts, Hawk Eyes Mihawk slowly walked toward a village on the island.

He traveled in the East Blue for a while and unexpectedly came to this island. He happened to hear that the village on the island called "Shimotsuki Village" was the hometown of the East Blue's contemporary "strongest swordsman".

In the rumors of the East Blue.

That "strongest swordsman," skilled in the Three-Sword Style, with Moss Head, and fond of hunting pirates, once easily dealt with Great Pirate who had entered the East Blue from the Grand Line.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk originally wanted to find the "strongest swordsman in the East Blue".

It's a pity.

That "strongest swordsman" appeared and disappeared without a trace; no one could detect his whereabouts.

After searching for a while, Hawk Eyes Mihawk gave up on continuing to track down the so-called "Number One Swordsman of the East Blue".

He never expected that he would unexpectedly discover the hometown of the "Number One Swordsman of the East Blue" today.

"Shimotsuki Village? Shimotsuki? A strange name... Could it be related to Wano Country?"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk entered Shimotsuki Village and headed towards the Swordsmanship dojo called "Isshin Dojo".

Paradise, Alabasta.

Crocodile also watched today's execution livestream.

The place he was focusing on was also the appearance of the Red Dragon Emperor.

"Red Dragon... White Dragon..."

Crocodile's brow furrowed deeply.

"That face... it's so ugly it makes you angry just by looking at it!"

Sabaody Archipelago, Island 69.

Island 66, which was originally Marine Branch base, was completely destroyed in the previous battle.

The original Marine Branch base was also completely scrapped and could no longer be put into use.

The navy remaining on the Sabaody Archipelago temporarily chose to be stationed on nearby Island 69—an island that also belongs to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government.

Sengoku, his body wrapped in bandages, gazed at the Sabaody Archipelago before him with an expression neither sad nor happy.

He heard footsteps approaching, and when he turned around, he saw Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral walking towards him carrying a stack of documents.

Vice Admiral Tsuru was not involved in the executions in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Sengoku left the Marine Headquarters to oversee Execution Incident on the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Marine Headquarters lacks a "stabilizing force".

As the chief of staff of the headquarters, Tsuru temporarily took on the task of managing the Marine Headquarters.

Vice Admiral Tsuru hadn't expected that an execution would attract so many powerful enemies...

The Red-Haired Pirates.

Red Dragon Emperor...

Especially the latter!

Before Vice Admiral Tsuru could speak...

The Sengoku was the first to ask the question.

"Ah He, have the casualty figures for this war been tallied yet?"

"The statistics are complete... the losses are much less than we initially anticipated."

Vice Admiral Tsuru first took out a document and handed it to Sengoku.

"The vast majority of marines were stunned by Red-Haired ' [Conqueror's Haki] at the very beginning of the battle and did not participate in the subsequent battle, so their injuries were relatively minor."

"Aside from the direct casualties from the battle with the Red-Haired Pirates, many more were injured by the aftershocks of the fight..."

"If I had known it would attract Red-Haired, and... the red dragon."

"We won't send so many low-ranking marines."

Vice Admiral Tsuru only mentioned the navy's losses.

She didn't say anything more about the Shichibukai participated in the execution.

The three Shichibukai accepted the invitation from the Marine Headquarters to participate in the Execution Incident of Pluton Rayleigh.

Boa Hancock, the Snake Princess, was severely injured.

Sea Knight Jinbe, accidentally stumbled into the range of Whitebeard the Second.'s lightning attack and was nearly "electrocuted".

The only one who wasn't injured was actually Gecko Moria, that seemingly useless piece of trash...

Um.

"There's no point in saying all this now..."

Sengoku sighed deeply.

"In a live broadcast to the world, a major mission of the Marine Headquarters was actually thwarted by two pirates."

"This is a disgrace to justice!"

The real disgrace shouldn't be that you, the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, have been rumored to have "died suddenly"?

Vice Admiral Tsuru Crane silently muttered something to himself.

She didn't mention Morgans either.

As a Devil Fruit User the Albatross Fruit, Big News Bird was also affected by the combined attack of Golden Lion II. and Whitebeard the Second.

The lightning tsunami that submerged the entire Island 66 indiscriminately attacked all the Devil Fruit User present.

When the navy was clearing the battlefield, they found no trace of Morgans.

But.

Morgans's influence, however, was far-reaching.

If that Big News Bird were just doing its job broadcasting properly, it would keep quiet.

Vice Admiral Tsuru has nothing to say yet.

But Big News Bird not only broadcasts live, but also likes to make irresponsible statements.

If you only listen to Big News Bird 'Morgans live commentary.

The outside world will surely assume that both the Fleet Admiral and the Pirate Emperor died at the hands of the Red Dragon Emperor.

But the reality is not like that at all!

At least.

The Navy also failed to find any trace of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"... Don't think about 'justice' right now."

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head and spoke frankly.

"You'd better think about how you're going to face the Gorosei's questions later!"

World Government don't care about the process, they only care about the result.

An execution broadcast that should have been a declaration to the sea of World Government and the Marine Headquarters' unwavering determination to eradicate pirates.

It was ultimately ruined by two intruding Great Pirate.

The Gorosei have no sympathy for the Navy's hardships; they simply think the Navy is useless!

"Well..."

Sengoku held his forehead and sighed deeply.

Why is he, Fleet Admiral, so frustrated in this situation?

"Aside from war losses and post-war compensation, I also had the General Staff draft a bounty for Red Dragon Emperor and his men."

Vice Admiral Tsuru, looking at the exhausted Sengoku, calmly handed over several bounty posters.

"It's not just the Red Dragon Emperor, but also the changes in bounties for Whitebeard the Second. and Golden Lion II., as well as that pirate who hasn't made a move yet... I've also had the General Staff draft a bounty list."

Sengoku accepted the bounty money handed to him by Vice Admiral Tsuru.

The first thing that caught his eye was the Red Dragon Emperor's bounty poster.

This is the second update, probably the latest one yet...

Yes, there are still some in the early morning.
