The Annoying Rocks

"Th-That is... that is..."

"That's one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard?!!"

"Why would someone that important appear in Paradise on the Grand Line?!"

Countless pirates in Mock Town stared at the massive figure in terror.

Most of the pirates did not recognize Rocks, whose information had been erased by the World Government, but they certainly recognized Whitebeard, the foremost of the Four Emperors.

But why was this Whitebeard so young, with a head of flowing blond hair?

"Gurararara! Houka, Rocks, it looks like my reputation is much greater than yours!"

Newgate laughed smugly. With his laughter, all of Mock Town shook.

"So terrifying!!"

Zoro, Sanji, and the others' pupils constricted instantly.

His laughter alone could make an entire town tremble?

"The legendary Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability?"

Nico Robin confirmed it once more. This might truly be Whitebeard Newgate in his prime.

Just how strong was Houka?!

He had said that against the world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, and one of the Four Emperors, Shanks, the odds were one to nine.

With one move from him, Mihawk and Shanks would have only a one-in-ten chance of survival.

Could that be true?

But even Whitebeard, the foremost of the Four Emperors, did not seem capable of instantly defeating Mihawk and Shanks with a single move.

At this moment, the pirates at Jaya's port and in Mock Town's bars received the latest newspapers and bounty posters.

A pirate from the Bellamy Pirates held Luffy's wanted poster in terror, trembling as he handed it to the vice-captain, Sarchies.

After all, Sarchies only had a bounty of 38 million Beli.

Captain Bellamy's bounty was only 55 million Beli.

Yet Luffy, whom Bellamy had just beaten up, had a bounty as high as 100 million Beli.

What kind of joke was this?

"100 million Beli?"

Sarchies
