The next day, the world erupted.
Countless News Coos carried urgent extra editions to every corner of the Four Blues and the Grand Line. When people snatched up the newspapers and saw the staggering front-page headlines and the long string of astronomical bounties beneath them, the entire world seemed to fall silent, then exploded with thunderous cries of shock and uproar!
"The World Government's highest bounties! Astronomical prices on everyone in the Kaiyuan Empire! Emperor Chen Yu-six billion Beli!"
"The Seven Admiral Stars! Every bounty exceeds four billion! The Kaiyuan Empire's military might shocks the world!"
"Mass-produced Mythical Zoans? Mid-ranking officers' bounties exceed nine hundred million! The Empire's reserves are unfathomable!"
"Emperor Kaido's bounty drops to zero! Prisoner status confirms the Strongest Creature's defeat! Possibly already dead!"

He keenly realized that this was not merely a set of bounties, but the old world's rulers formally declaring war on that new emperor-the beginning of a complete reshuffling of the world order!
