Unprecedented! The Latest Bounties!

As everyone discussed how much to raise the bounties on Rosha, Kaido, and the Flying Pirates, Steel Bone Kong's personal Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

The meeting room fell silent at once.

"Brrr-brrr—"

Steel Bone Kong looked at the ringing Den Den Mushi, his expression solemn yet carrying a trace of respect. Then he picked it up.

Soon, a familiar voice came from the other end—it was the voice of the Five Elders.

Two minutes later, Steel Bone Kong hung up. He looked up at everyone and said, "According to the World Government's latest directive, the bounty on the Sinful Child, Rosha, will likely need to be raised even further."

"The government's upper ranks place great importance on the Sinful Child. Therefore, we must also place greater importance on him."

Vice Admiral Zane could not help frowning. "Fleet Admiral, how high are we raising it? We just discussed 670 million. Compared to before, that's already more than quadruple."

"Exactly. His first bounty was 160 million, and the second was raised fourfold in one go. That's practically unprecedented, isn't it? Raising it any further—"

"I also think 670 million is enough. Raising it too much at once would have a bad impact, and it could easily embolden the pirates."

"But—it is an order from the government—"

After a moment of silence, Steel Bone Kong made the final decision. "Raise it to 800 million Beli. Exactly five times the original amount!"

"Gasp! 800 million?!"

Everyone sucked in a breath. The Sinful Child was about to break another record!

Sengoku nodded. "Then 800 million it is. We don't know whether he's dead or alive right now, but as long as he's alive, his bounty will rise again soon. With his strength and threat level, surpassing one billion is only a matter of time."
