Bounty of 300 Million

The other two CP0 members were the same!

What did Devil Fruit users fear most at sea?

Storms, and thunderstorm weather!

"You reacted quickly, but sadly, it's too late! It's over, everyone!"

Lightning suddenly appeared in Xia Zhiqing's hand. He swung it downward. "Fall!"

"Roar!"

A world-shaking bolt of lightning revealed its destructive visage and crashed down!

Boom!

The surroundings were instantly illuminated. Terrifying pillars of lightning, mixed with horrifying electric arcs, completely swallowed the warship!

"Roar!"

The sea roared, raising monstrous waves that slammed heavily into the ship beneath Xia Zhiqing's feet!

Bang!

The entire ship let out a muffled groan of pain and was shoved back a great distance!

"Bastard!"

Amid the lightning, a miserable roar could vaguely be heard!

Just as the lightning ceased and the dark clouds dispersed—

"Pfft!"

Xia Zhiqing's expression suddenly changed. He spat out a mouthful of blood, dropped to one knee on the deck, and began gasping for breath!

"Lord Xia Zhiqing, are you all right? Are you hurt?"

Xia Zhiqing's sudden coughing of blood frightened Anna pale!

"It's nothing. I just used up too much energy and pulled at my wound! I'll be fine after resting for a while!"

"It's all because I'm too useless. Whenever I run into even a slightly stronger enemy, I'm nothing but dead weight!"

"And I don't even know any support skills. I'm such a burden!"

She said reproachfully!

"Don't blame yourself so much, Anna! You simply encountered the wrong opponent when your strength had only just begun to grow!"

"Don't worry. Before long, you'll be able to help me properly! You'll have to work hard in the days ahead!"

Xia Zhiqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and comforted her!

"Lord Xia Zhiqing, I understand. I'll work even harder!" Anna nodded!

"Now that we have the money, it's time to find you a Devil Fruit!"

"Are you willing to make a sacrifice—become a landlubber for the rest of your life—in exchange for great power?"

Xia Zhiqing looked at Anna and asked!

"I am, Lord Xia Zhiqing. Next time, I definitely won't become a burden to you again!" Anna said firmly!

"Then let's go. Let's see whether this New World has a Devil Fruit suitable for you!"

Xia Zhiqing did not know about the Grand Line, but the New World definitely had Devil Fruit auctions!

World Government!

"What? CP0 failed? They were completely wiped out?"

The Five Elders were startled upon learning this news!

"Natsi is actually this strong! It seems our understanding of him has been seriously lacking!"

One of the Five Elders, holding a sinister longsword, said!

"It appears we underestimated him this time. Lucci just sent word—he was also defeated by that guy a few days ago!" said one of the Five Elders with a horn-shaped mustache!

"Put out a bounty. Notify Sengoku and expose him!"

A blond Five Elder spoke with supreme authority as his eyes opened and closed!

"Indeed!"

The other Five Elders all nodded in agreement!

After careful consideration, Sengoku set an appropriate bounty!

Two days later, New World!

"Hehehe, I actually got a bounty. What an eye-catching amount!"

Xia Zhiqing held the bounty posters just delivered by the news bird. Looking at the string of numbers, he could not help narrowing his eyes!

Natsi the Bounty Hunter of Lightning, bounty: 327 million Beli!

Anna the Gun Queen, bounty: 58 million Beli!

A first bounty reaching 300 million right away—one could imagine just how notorious he had to be!
