Garp could not help but roar, "Shut up!"
"How could a dignified Marine Admiral say something so discouraging?!"
Yet Kizaru did not care in the slightest. "Then why don't you offer a suggestion?"
"Akainu died just dealing with Lin Ye. Now there are three Emperors."
The moment he said that, the meeting room fell silent.
Everyone recalled that bloody scene.
The fall of an Admiral still filled them with lingering fear.
Just as the atmosphere hit rock bottom, Sengoku suddenly said, "We still have one last hope."
"Kaido is also on his way to Amazon Lily."
"He has a grudge against Lin Ye. They will definitely fight."
But Garp shook his head. "Lin Ye could defeat Kaido years ago."
"Lin Ye's progress over these years has been obvious to all. How could Kaido still be his match?"
"You're thinking too simply." Sengoku rose to his feet and paced back and forth.
"Kaido hasn't been idle these past few years either. He has constantly challenged powerful opponents from all sides."
"Whether Marine Admirals or renowned pirate captains, all of them have become his sparring partners."
"His Devil Fruit powers have already fully awakened."
Aokiji nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, the officers who have fought Kaido recently all say that he has grown stronger."
"And it is the kind of improvement that marks a qualitative leap."
"Several attempts to surround and eliminate Kaido have all failed without exception."
"So..." Sengoku's voice was steady and powerful.
"We have raised Kaido's bounty to 4.6 billion!"
"One hundred million higher than Lin Ye's!"
"Kaido is now the Four Emperors member with the highest bounty!"
The entire meeting room erupted.
"4.6 billion?!" Momousagi cried out.
"That already surpasses Lin Ye!" a Vice Admiral said in shock.
"It seems Kaido truly has made rapid progress these past few years."
