White Dragon Emperor's New Bounty!
"What a tragedy!!!"
The Warring Sengoku period was filled with regret, deep regret.
He stared at the headline on the front page of the World Economic Journal, his eyes gradually losing their luster.
He's so stupid, really.
Sengoku only knew that Storm was exceptionally talented, but he didn't know that the other party's talent was this strong.
They had just thwarted the Buster Call launched by Akainu and Kizaru.
He then went to Whole Cake Island, defeated Big Mom, and became the Pirate Emperor!
Why would Sengoku, in his madness, send such a peerless genius to be a damn undercover agent?
Wouldn't a marine like that, if he stayed in the navy, be a sure- Admiral candidate for admiral?
No!
Even the "Admiral generals" underestimated Storm.
This guy is a total "Fleet Admiral prospect"!
Moreover, he might be the strongest Fleet Admiral in eight hundred years!
For at least the past eight hundred years.
No Fleet Admiral would dare to claim that he could defeat two Admiral working together, one against two!
Despicable, yet...
If it had only been sending Storm as an undercover agent, Sengoku, however regretful, wouldn't have felt such extreme remorse as he does now.
But just when the other person was doing a good job as an undercover agent, they were being relentlessly targeted by their own superior.
The Gorosei personally issued the order to carry out the Buster Call against the White Dragon.
That's good now.
The fake undercover agent turned out to be a real pirate.
How could the Sengoku not feel regret and sorrow?
What would be more painful for a fleet Admiral than losing a Fleet Admiral?
They've lost two Admiral!
A few days ago.
The Gorosei issued another order, sending Kizaru to the New World to check on the situation on Punk Hazard Island.
But it wasn't until the G5 Branch had completely taken in and settled all the remaining "refugees" on Punk Hazard Island that things began to change.
Kizaru, who went to the New World to investigate, is still missing.
Ever since Kizaru went to the New World, this guy has completely disappeared!
Sengoku looked at the newspaper in his hand, recalling the failed Buster Call from some time ago, and prepared himself for the worst.
Kizaru... lost...
Sengoku's only hope now is that Kizaru will spare Storm out of consideration for their past as naval colleagues.
They were defeated, captured alive, imprisoned...
Whatever you do, don't just kill them outright!
Sengoku put down the newspaper in his hand, habitually took out his personal Den Den Mushi, and wanted to dial Kizaru's number.
But only a Den Den Mushi's receiver.
As for Storm's Den Den Mushi...
Since the end of the "Buster Call on Ruschired Island" incident, Sengoku has been unable to contact Storm.
He was unilaterally "blacklisted" by Storm.
"Still can't get in touch..."
Sengoku put down the Den Den Mushi with a worried expression.
The Marine Headquarters of one Fleet Admiral and three Admiral.
Now that Kizaru is suddenly gone... the consequences will be huge!
However, considering that Kizaru was mainly in charge of the Marine Science Unit, and that the Marine Science Unit's most powerful figure Vegapunk, was taken away by Storm along with Punk Hazard Island...
So, perhaps, maybe, possibly... the impact isn't that big?
Sengoku shook his head, dismissing the inexplicable thought, and dialed a new number.
"The Gorosei!"
Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, Chamber of Power.
The Gorosei were also reading today's World Economic Journal News.
"White Dragon defeated Big Mom... Why am I not surprised at all?"
"Of course, it's because this guy previously defeated Kizaru and Akainu were working together..."
"But now, the problem has really become very complicated..."
"The White Dragon stole Vegapunk, made connections with the Dawn Pirates, and even moved Punk Hazard Island away..."
"We must strip White Dragon of his status as one of the Shichibukai!"
After a brief discussion, the Gorosei exchanged glances, a faint sense of regret permeating their group.
The Fleet Admiral regretted forcing the Marine Vice Admiral to rebel.
Don't the Gorosei also regret for forcing the Shichibukai?
If it weren't for that Buster Call...
If White Dragon were still Shichibukai...
If the Shichibukai defeat and replace the Pirate Emperor...
Then the authority of the World Government will once again awe the entire ocean!
As is common knowledge, after all.
The Shichibukai are nothing more than lackeys of the World Government.
But now.
Spurred on by the World Government's Buster Call, White Dragon even relinquished his Shichibukai, went directly to defeat Big Mom, and conquered Whole Cake Island...
The Gorosei also felt very regretful.
It is merely the World Government's nominal supreme power.
Even if the Gorosei regretted it in their hearts, they would not easily show it.
As the saying goes, one must swallow one's pride and bear the pain.
There's nothing shameful about it if you don't care.
Whether others believe it or not, the Gorosei believe it.
The only thing that made the Gorosei feel fortunate was that Lord Imu did not blame them for what happened to the White Dragon.
Otherwise.
Imu's wrath is not something to be easily endured...
If Imu really pursues this matter...
The Gorosei forcibly forced a Shichibukai who was comparable to—no, surpassed—the highest fighting force of the World Government to rebel.
Someone must be held accountable for this incident.
They might even be severely punished by Lord Imu!
That's a situation none of the Gorosei want to see.
Fortunately, Lord Imu doesn't care about the White Dragon.
"So what if he's the Pirate Emperor?"
"So what if it's the Dawn Pirates?"
"So what if the Rocks Pirates successfully make a comeback?"
"Whitebeard, White Dragon... these people are just the tides of time, appearing every now and then."
"The real threat is still that person, that Devil Fruit... Joy Boy and the [Nika Fruit]!"
The Gorosei comforted each other.
Even if the White Dragon is incredibly strong.
How powerful can a "Clay Person" be?
The advantage is still with me!
"Speaking of which, since the government later issued a notice revoking White Dragon's status Shichibukai, his bounty should be reinstated as well, right?"
Saint Nusjuro paused for a moment before speaking.
"Times have changed. White Dragon's actions are enough to warrant a hefty bounty on his head..."
The other Gorosei were about to add a few words of agreement.
But then the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Saint Nusjuro's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately took out Den Den Mushi.
But when he saw the subtle features of the Den Den Mushi, his previously expectant expression instantly turned cold.
I thought it was Kizaru, but it turned out to be Sengoku...
Saint Nusjuro still answered the Den Den Mushi, but his tone was very impatient.
"Sengoku! What's the matter?"
Borsalino--
"There's still no news from him!"
Saint Nusjuro coldly interrupted Sengoku.
"Just do what you're supposed to do."
"Then what am I supposed to do?!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's emotions also surged.
"Isn't it the Fleet Admiral's job to care about the safety of Admiral?"
Sengoku believed he had devoted himself entirely to the navy.
However, the Gorosei at the top... made one blunder after another, utterly foolish.
For the first time in the Sengoku period, such a thought arose in his mind--
How can you possibly run a navy while surrounded by these insects?
Saint Nusjuro was speechless at Sengoku's question.
Kizaru was sent by him...
Now that Kizaru is missing, the Gorosei are naturally the ones most responsible.
Could it be the Sengoku?
But no matter what...
As one of the Gorosei, being questioned by the Fleet Admiral, Saint Nusjuro felt a surge of anger.
"What kind of attitude is this?! Sengoku!"
"My attitude is perfectly normal!"
This time, Sengoku did not echo the Gorosei, but instead refuted them with conviction.
"Borsalino! The Navy's strongest fighting force! Just like that, it's been destroyed! Has the government ever understood the Navy's pain!?"
Sengoku's words made it sound as if Kizaru was already dead...
Saint Nusjuro didn't sense anything strange.
Because Kizaru was indeed "out of contact" for many days.
With Kizaru's [Glint-Glint Fruit] ability.
If Kizaru wanted to, there wouldn't be anyone in the entire ocean who could keep him here.
Kizaru has been unreachable for some time.
This only proves one thing.
Kizaru is "gone"!
"Watch your mouth, Sengoku!"
Saint Nusjuro had nothing to say, so he could only use his status and position to forcefully suppress the Fleet Admiral.
"As for Kizaru... we're missing an Admiral, we can just find another Admiral!"
This was, of course, just a polite remark.
If it were really that easy to find combat power at the level of Admiral.
Then the state of the ocean wouldn't be in such a chaotic state now.
Sengoku was about to say something.
Saint Nusjuro then dropped another bombshell.
"You should pay more attention to that newly enthroned Pirate Emperor, White Dragon!"
After saying that, Saint Nusjuro abruptly hung up the Den Den Mushi.
The ear-piercing "thud" made the Sengoku's eardrums ring.
He instinctively wanted to call the Gorosei again via Den Den Mushi and have a good argument with them.
How can the Navy possibly continue to care about White Dragon?
Wasn't the Gorosei the ones who forced Vongola Storm to rebel?
Useless at everything, but a master at shifting blame!
But after quickly dialing a number, Sengoku hesitated to make the call.
After a while.
The Fleet Admiral dejectedly put down the Den Den Mushi he was holding.
All the Gorosei need to do is shift the blame.
However, the navy has many more things to consider.
The Gorosei of the Groove!
Sengoku grumbled as he put away the Den Den Mushi.
But just then, another man with a cold expression pushed open the door to the Fleet Admiral's Office.
Upon seeing his opponent, Sengoku broke out in a cold sweat, the sweat soaking the back of his clothes.
"Ku, Kuzan..."
Sengoku was heartbroken that the navy had lost a "promising Fleet Admiral".
But Aokiji Kuzan is Vongola Storm's direct superior in the Navy!
If we were to rate the "regret index" of the Sengoku period at 9, then...
How high would Aokiji's "regret index" be?
The sweat-drenched Fleet Admiral dared not think further; he was only hoping for something else—
Kuzan probably hasn't seen today's newspaper, has he?
But in the very next moment...
Aokiji's indifferent voice shattered Sengoku's meaningless fantasy.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I saw today's news, and I now wish to make a trip to the New World."
"You're going to the New World too?"
Ignoring the cold sweat covering his back, Sengoku blurted out instinctively.
Huh?
Why did he use "also"?
"Well, after all, it's a major event like... Vongola Storm becoming the Pirate Emperor."
Aokiji scratched his head and said in a calm tone.
"I want to visit Whole Cake Island."
Sengoku opened his mouth, wanting to say something to dissuade him.
Kizaru's whereabouts remain unknown.
Aokiji... hopefully he won't repeat the same mistake, right?
But before the Sengoku period could finish speaking...
A sudden fax machine interrupted him.
Sengoku and Aokiji both looked at the Den Den Den Mushi that had suddenly started working beside them.
A simple bounty order, originating from Chamber of Power, was sent to the Fleet Admiral's Office.
This is a bounty order personally drawn up by the Gorosei for the former Shichibukai, White Dragon.
"What was Storm's previous bounty? I don't think it was over a hundred million, right?"
Aokiji picked up the slightly warm wanted poster, his gaze lingering on the long string of numbers for a moment.
"The bounty has been increased by so many billions at once..."
This is truly unprecedented!
