Marineford.
The Pirate Empress destroyed the warship that had come to summon her.
Doflamingo truly took schadenfreude to the extreme.
Blackbeard Teach revealed a sinister smile; the Pirate Empress's Devil Fruit ability was one of the candidate abilities he wanted to obtain.
The power of this Twin Fruit is not as simple as it seems.
Without the World Government's protection, I might have found an opportunity to invade Amazon Lily and steal the Love-Love Fruit's power.
Even if you don't use it yourself, you can give it to your subordinates.
In short, this ability must be in your own hands.
"Friday, did you set this bounty?"
Doflamingo looked at the newly issued bounty poster, his eyes filled with displeasure.
The Marine Headquarters has surprisingly set the bounty on the Pirate Empress at 1.659 billion Belly.
This is even higher than the Three Disasters!
Are these navy men out of their minds?!
Such a high bounty, isn't it implying that the Shichibukai present are all useless?
"If I don't come, what kind of bounty does Fleet Admiral Sengoku plan to offer me?"
Hawkeye Mihawk casually asked that the Pirate Empress's bounty was more than four times higher than his original bounty.
Before the bounties for these Shichibukai were abolished, they all had Belly two to three hundred million Berries, with only Mihawk exceeding four hundred million.
Now he really wants to know what kind of evaluation the Sengoku the Buddha will give him.
"Don't make those assumptions."
The Sengoku the Buddha refused to respond directly, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
"Hahaha, is inflation that bad these days? Even a Pirate Empress has increased to 1.6 billion."
Blackbeard Teach grinned, thinking that once he completed his plan, his first bounty would surely soar to over 2 billion.
I want to know.
Hawkeye Mihawk's sharp eyes suddenly turned to Sengoku the Buddha with great seriousness.
"..."
"Over 3 billion!"
Sengoku the Buddha looked at these unruly Shichibukai, snorted coldly, and responded to Hawkeye Mihawk's question.
"Hehehe, then I should be able to surpass the bounty of the Three Disasters, right!"
Gecko Moria laughed. He remembered that Wang Shi had said he would sit at the same table as the Tobi Roppo and the ordinary division commanders of Whitebeard, which made him a little nervous.
He wanted to see how the Fleet Admiral would rate him.
"Enough!"
"If you can withstand one of my blows, I'll give you the exact amount of the bounty."
Sengoku the Buddha slammed his hand on the table and roared.
He gave Hawkeye Mihawk, the World's Greatest Swordsman a solitary life, face, but that didn't mean he had to give face to the other Shichibukai.
Doesn't he, as a Fleet Admiral, have any pride?
Each of them has their own pirate crew and weaknesses, and their strength is not even as good as Hawkeye's, yet they still want to threaten him.
···
Gecko Moria's face was ashen, his fists clenched, and he fell silent, his expression cold.
Kuma, however, maintained a blank, detached expression, seemingly oblivious to both the bounty and his pride.
Doflamingo has his own vast territory, and he doesn't want to completely anger Sengoku the Buddha.
It's just a bounty amount anyway, what's the point?
Blackbeard Teach maintained his carefree smile. What use was a bounty? What use was face?
The most important thing is to become stronger and plunder the most powerful Devil Fruit abilities!
With the strongest power, both the bounty and prestige will increase.
Crocodile, who attended as the second-in-command, had an inscrutable expression, and behind his cold eyes, it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Stay put and wait for your execution!"
"The World Government use the destruction of Amazon Lily to show you the consequences of disobeying it."
Sengoku the Sengoku the Buddha gave a cold warning and left the troublesome Shichibukai meeting room.
···
Another day has passed.
News reports about Fire Fist Ace asking Shiki for help, looking down on the Roger Pirates, and Red-Haired Shanks making a pledge to the World Government have once again caused a great stir around the world.
Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, really just a pawn planted by the Celestial Dragons in the New World and among pirates?
Wouldn't the strong members of Roger Pirates go to rescue Roger's son?
Above a remote sea area along the Grand Line.
Golden Lion Shiki saw the news and newspapers from the past few days.
"Roger's son called me uncle? Are all those guys in the Roger Pirates spineless? Why didn't they go and save Roger's son?"
Golden Lion Shiki, munching on a cigar, found the newspaper rather interesting.
You should know that when he learned that Roger had been arrested, he single-handedly went to rescue Roger.
After all, Roger was an opponent who only deserved to die at his hands; how could he possibly be captured by these trash pirates?
Roger's men were indeed spineless; not one of them went to save Roger.
I heard that not a single member of the Roger Pirates appeared on the Execution Platform in Loguetown.
If he hadn't already been imprisoned in Impel Down, he would have caused a huge disturbance in Loguetown and personally killed that bastard Roger.
"Since you call me uncle, I'll save you this time out of respect for that bastard Roger."
Golden Lion Shiki was delighted to see Roger's son call Roger a piece of trash and the Roger Pirates spineless.
"Indigo, prepare a batch of evolved beasts. I want to give Marineford a gift."
Golden Lion Shiki grinned, recalling how he Sengoku Garp and Sengoku in a battle that destroyed half of Marineford.
Now another batch of gifts will be sent to Marineford.
Besides helping Roger's son, it's also helping that old Whitebeard.
After all, he and Whitebeard had known each other for forty or fifty years.
He, along with Whitebeard and Stussy, were the first three to follow Rocks.
Forty-six years ago, he had already followed Rocks to Elbaf to search for the Elbaf Harald.
More than 20 years ago, after escaping from Impel Down, his first priority was to find Whitebeard.
"Understood, Captain."
Dr. Indigo immediately followed Golden Lion Shiki's orders and selected a group of powerful evolved beasts, gathering them on a special island.
At that time, the beasts and the island will be deployed together to Marineford.
Simple and convenient.

On the Red Force of the Red Hair Pirates
These news reports almost Red-Haired Shanks crazy.
He wanted to stop Beast Kaido, but not for the Celestial Dragons, not for the World Government; he wanted to maintain the balance of the New World.
This war is already large in scale; if Beast Kaido gets involved, it will probably become an even bigger war.
If it escalates into an uncontrollable, total war, then everything becomes unknown.
Furthermore, he can, if necessary, stop the war between the World Government and the Whitebeard Pirates, minimizing losses.
But now that this newspaper has been published, if he were to intervene in Beast Kaido, it would confirm that he is a pawn of the Celestial Dragons.
"Benn Beckman, what should we do?"
Looking troubled, Red-Haired Shanks quickly sought help from his strategist, the first mate.
Who is the mastermind behind Morgans?
"This shouldn't be the World Government; it's probably the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army."
Benn Beckman listed all the parties who would benefit from the expansion of the war, and on the surface, it seemed that only the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army would benefit.
Has a smart person appeared in the Whitebeard Pirates now?
