The bounties of every member of the Blood Sword Pirates had been updated once again.
Captain—Bloody Swordsman Ryan: 2.97 billion Beli
Blind Swordsman Issho Fujitora: 2.043 billion Beli
Green Lantern Beli: 1.214 billion Beli
Thunder God Enel: 966 million Beli
Red Lantern Kid: 440 million Beli
Yellow Lantern Killer: 330 million Beli
Devil Child Nico Robin: 500 million Beli
Tesoro: 852 million Beli
Lory: 20,000 Beli
The bounties of the Blood Sword Pirates had all risen dramatically. Aside from Captain Ryan, Fujitora and Tesoro had seen the greatest increases. Although Fujitora had always been strong, his bounty had remained low. After all, a pirate's bounty represented both his strength and status. Now, Fujitora's name had finally resounded throughout the world—a great pirate capable of matching a Marine Admiral!
Tesoro's increase was even more outrageous. His bounty had leaped from 20,000 Beli to 852 million Beli, an increase of who knew how many times. During the great battle at Fish-Man Island, manpower had been desperately short, so Tesoro, who had remained obscure within the Blood Sword Pirates, had begun to show his edge. With master-level physical skills, powerful Armament Haki, and respectable Observation Haki, Tesoro was not much weaker than he had been in the original history, even without the Gold-Gold Fruit.
As soon as the news came out, both the Four Seas and the Grand Line were utterly shocked.
South Blue, Baterilla Island.
"Hahaha!" Gaban looked at the newspaper in his hand and burst into hearty laughter. He had never expected his disciple to become an emperor of the seas standing alongside Whitebeard. This proved that Gaban truly had a good eye—far better than that old bastard Rayleigh.
Gaban picked up the flask from the table and headed outside. How could he not share such good news with old Carter?
