After picking up the bounty poster and placing it face up on the table, Olvia, whose face was still flushed, stepped aside, and only then did Vic glance at the bounty poster.
As he expected, the bounty was his own, which he could guess from Olvia's series of reactions and the World Government's attitude towards him in the news.
However, he hadn't expected his bounty to be so high—a full 6 billion Beli, even higher than Pirate King Roger's! Is this the kind of beating up of the Five Elders he'd done?
Vic estimated that this was the highest bounty ever set since the World Government was founded, and the bounty poster was also somewhat special.
Most other bounty posters say either life or death is acceptable, a few like Sanji's use of connections only require a living bounty, and very few like Vic's only require a dead bounty. Even Rocks and Roger didn't receive such treatment. This shows Imu and the Five Elders ' firm attitude towards Vic and reveals a lot of information!
After the incident where the Lulusia Kingdom was wiped out by the Mother Flame, the Five Elders were not entirely sure whether Vic was dead or not. Although they felt that under such a crisis, Vic was most likely killed, what if...?
The only people who knew that Vic was still alive were the high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army and Olvia. Vic had examined the memories of those in the Revolutionary Army, so they would never betray him or the Revolutionary Army.
Olvia didn't even have time to get dressed, let alone betray him. However, CP spies did come to Vic's base to gather intelligence.
Although he was entangled with Olvia, it didn't mean his consciousness and mind had fallen into a daze, and he could easily fool his companions with a little illusion.
The Five Elders couldn't confirm Vic was alive or dead, so the news wasn't released. Finally, it was CP Agent had infiltrated the Revolutionary Army's lower ranks who saw Sabo, and only then did the Five Elders realize that Vic was most likely alive!
After all, even Sabo, who was weaker than Vic, survived, so Vic, who was stronger and Logia Fruit user, was even less of a problem!
However, Vic has not shown up, and the Five Elders are also somewhat uncertain. In the end, they can only release the news and the bounty first, regardless of whether Vic is dead or alive, this way there will be no problem.
This is why the news of Vic's rampage in Mary Geoise was only released today. If Vic were still alive, the bounty would be paid according to the amount on the wanted poster. Whoever is capable of killing him can claim the bounty. If he is already dead, then no one can claim the bounty. It's just a matter of issuing a wanted poster.
"Tsk tsk! They really think highly of me! My bounty is even higher than that of the Pirate King Roger! How many heinous things have I done to deserve this?!"
Vic clicked his tongue at the long string of zeros on the bounty poster; his bounty alone was equivalent to ten years' worth of tax revenue for a small country!
Even Vic was starting to get greedy for his bounty; he was even considering using some underhanded methods to claim it.
But that's just wishful thinking. How many people in this world could possibly kill him? The chances are too low. Who knows, Imu might even come to check the truth himself. Even if he can fool the Five Elders with his illusions, he definitely can't fool God Realm powerhouse like Imu.
"Yeah! What exactly did you do? This is an unprecedented bounty in history! It can't be that you got such a high bounty just for demolishing Pangaea Castle, right?"
Olvia had already read the newspapers and the bounty poster, but her turbulent emotions had not yet subsided.
Vic already had a bounty of over 4 billion, and at that point, it might not even increase by a few hundred million in several years. But this time, it increased by over 1 billion. What kind of terrible thing must he have done to make the World Government so vehemently hate him and want to eliminate him?
Olvia knew that the World Government liked to hide the truth about certain events, especially major ones, like Ohara back then, so she knew there was definitely something hidden here, and a very big one at that!
"I'm not entirely sure either! This time, only twenty Celestial Dragons died, some slaves were freed, and some houses were demolished. I don't think anything major happened."
Oh! And also, they killed the Five Elders several times. These old bastards are practically immortal! Truly, evil lives on forever!
Vic didn't think he had done anything particularly significant; the biggest threat to the World Government was probably knowing about the existence of Imu, the King of the World.
However, Vic already knew this, but this time it came out in the open with Imu and the Five Elders. To Imu, the released slaves and the Celestial Dragons who died in this incident were nothing, and the lifeless buildings were even less important. None of them were as important as Imu's exposure.
"You're such a thoughtful person. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. I'm used to it. But I still hope you'll be careful. You're fearless when you're open and honest, but you can't guard against all sorts of schemes and tricks. Be careful, and if you really can't, don't go out for a while!"
What Vic said had already been reported in the newspapers, but the incident of him beating up the Five Elders was covered up. That was a matter of the World Government's reputation, and they couldn't let a lowly pirate like Vic easily get beaten up!
Even with all that, in Olvia's mind it wasn't worth a 6 billion Beli bounty. She knew Vic was definitely hiding something important, but there was nothing she could do if Vic wouldn't tell her.
She had sensed long ago that Vic was hiding something, something very important, because Vic was rushing forward relentlessly, as if some monstrous beast was chasing him from behind, and if he stopped, he would be devoured by the monster behind him!
Unlike other pirates who sail wherever they please, eating, drinking, and having fun! They're completely free!
Vic is used to keeping things to himself and bearing them alone. He has been doing this for many years. If he were capable of opening up, he would have done so long ago. So Olvia doesn't expect to get Vic to talk with just a few words. He will speak when he wants to!
"Oh my! You won't let me out? Are you trying to drain me dry? You're definitely getting to the point where you'll be sucking the dust dry!"
Vic joked that he had indeed been hiding a lot of things, and it wouldn't be useful to tell them now; the more ignorant others were, the safer they were.
And Vic didn't seem to mind Olvia's age. Although she was indeed nearing fifty, Vic had kept her appearance and body at their peak, like a fairy thousands of years old in a fantasy novel. Would you mind her age?
"You want to suck up dirt, huh? I'll show you right now, after all this tormenting you've been putting me through these past few days, huh!"
"Don't come any closer! You're no match for me. Have you forgotten your pleas for mercy?"
"That's because I let you have your way since you weren't paying attention!"
"Don't pull and tug at me in broad daylight! Hey! Don't take my clothes off..."
"Lie down, leave the rest to me!"
" Lightning Law God! Unleash your lightning!"
"Ugh! Ah..."
