Chapter 188 New Bounty
Chapter 188 New Bounty
World Government Headquarters at sunrise.
Bloopers~Bloopers~Bloopers~Bloopers~
The Den Den Mushi kept transmitting messages, and the people in the switchboard department were running around, very busy.
The dramatic changes in the new world have attracted the attention of the entire world, and the world government is extremely nervous about this.
The Four Emperors Beasts Pirates and the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates started a war at the starting point of the Westward Route. This was the biggest news in the world in the past decade.
In order to prevent the situation from becoming completely out of control, the Navy Headquarters responded by sending out two elite vice admirals and a number of elite personnel to supervise and be ready to deal with situations that are unfavorable to the World Government at any time.
But just last night, news came that their army had clashed with the Four Emperors. The Four Emperors Kaido and Big Mom stopped fighting and joined forces to hunt down the navy and completely defeated them.
Vice Admiral Borsalino retreated with his warships. Although he managed to fend off the first wave of attacks, he was later caught up by Big Mom's Singing Ship, and suffered heavy casualties. Only Vice Admiral Borsalino and several of his subordinates escaped.
Another new strong man who was highly expected by the Navy, Vice Admiral Huangmu, was lost in the West Sky Top Route and his life or death is currently unknown.
"Damn pirates, what on earth are they worried about? I told you that I should be the one to take action this time!"
General Zefa slammed the table hard, causing the documents on it to fall up and down. Even his sunglasses couldn't hide the anger on his face.
"Zefa, don't be so angry, things are still under control."
Buddha's Warring States on the side rubbed his brow and said that he was also involved in this strategic countermeasure. Originally, there was nothing wrong with his strategy. He just let the navy go over to "plunder" to prevent the war between the Four Emperors from affecting too many New World countries and causing large-scale deaths and injuries among the poor.
Apart from this, they will look for an opportunity to climb to the top of the Western Sky and observe the situation there. If there is really any dangerous historical text involving ancient weapons, or matters concerning the Lunalia tribe, the navy will take action.
However, the Five Elders at the top gave special instructions to Borsalino and Huangmu, asking them to find an opportunity to kill Lu Li.
Zhan Guo knew about this, but he was not too worried. He couldn't give clear instructions that the Five Elders didn't have to obey their orders, but he felt that Borsalino should know what was going on and wouldn't act recklessly.
The so-called looking for opportunities means that if there is no opportunity, he can just not do the task, which is natural.
He believed that with Borsalino's character, he would never do such a dangerous, laborious and thankless task. Anyway, he was about to be promoted to general, so this achievement would not be a big deal.
But Zhan Guo underestimated another person. Huang Mu, this guy was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, and he actually attacked Lu Li.
Although he failed and had a fierce battle with King on the Westward Journey, this action was enough to anger Kaido.
The worst thing is that for some reason Kaido persuaded Big Mom to join him in hunting down the navy. Currently, the two pirate groups have ceased fighting and are hunting down Borsalino in the New World.
The Den Den Mushi at the Navy Headquarters were about to explode, most of which were requests for help from various places. After being enraged, the Four Emperors successively destroyed several hidden bases of the Navy in the New World.
Borsalino, who was being hunted, also contacted them several times, asking for support during the retreat.
"The one being hunted wasn't your student. It was the pirate named Lu Li who killed Stoloberry!"
Zefa's tone was very angry. If Sengoku hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to the New World long ago to meet the so-called Four Emperors.
"Calm down first. If we take action now, it will mean an all-out war between the World Government and the two Four Emperors. At that time, the world situation will be seriously turbulent."
Zhan Guo said with a headache, he had read the report, and thought if Stoloberry had not been greedy for merit, he would not have died. What pirate would let you kill him obediently?
Lu Li should not have moved in the first place. According to Zhan Guo's understanding of Kaido, he is definitely not the kind of guy who can reason with reason. Although he felt a little sorry for his old friend Zephyr, he thought that it would be fine if Storobelli failed and died. If he really killed Lu Li, a world-class war would inevitably be triggered.
Zhan Guo felt that the Five Elders were too sensitive. Lu Li was just one person. What's the use of asking him to help Kaido develop? After all, he would be no match for the strength of the World Government. If they started a fight now, too many things would be involved.
"Just because we are cautious, should we let those pirates do whatever they want? The New World is no longer under the control of the World Government!"
Zefa said in a low voice, "I need to go and bring Borsalino back."
"Honestly."
Zhan Guo held Zefa with a serious expression, "Don't make trouble. You are not unaware of the ability of that child's fruit. He can come back by himself. Now we have to wait for news from Huangmu."
Although the current situation is very bad, it is still within his control. The Four Emperors have been angered, and now all they are doing is demolishing their naval bases in the New World. If they can't catch them, Kaido and Big Mom won't keep making trouble.
But if the general takes action, the conflict may be a fight to the death.
To put it cruelly, it doesn't matter how many naval soldiers die below, but the top combat power cannot be moved lightly.
Once there is a loss of admiral-level combat power, the status of the World Government will be significantly shaken, and its deterrent effect on pirates will be much smaller.
Zhan Guo felt that now that the situation had deteriorated, he should carry out the mission according to the original intention and let Huangmu, who was on the route to the top of the West Sky, reach the summit and go to Sky Island to investigate whether the rumors were true.
As long as they can deal with the mess on Sky Island, I believe it will be enough to redeem themselves from their misconduct in the New World and give an explanation to the Five Elders.
"Mr. Zhan Guo, a new bounty has been issued. Would you like to take a look?"
At this time, a civilian staff member came running over quickly, saluted Zhan Guo and asked.
Zhan Guo nodded and took the bounty. When he turned to the next page, he confirmed Lu Li's bounty and nodded, "No problem, let them start printing."
Lu Li's threat level was raised mainly because he was the big boss of the Beasts Pirates and helped Kaido prepare for war in Wano Country. Now it has been discovered that he is not a simple civilian staff member and has excellent combat capabilities.
Stoloberi was supposed to be promoted to lieutenant general in the next few years. He would have been considered a top figure in the new world full of powerful people. However, he was killed by Lu Li in a one-on-one battle, and his defeat was without any suspense.
At present, the Navy Headquarters believes that Lu Li's combat capability is definitely at the level of a real fighter. Considering that Lu Li is only 21 years old, Lu Li still has a long period of growth. With this calculation, the Navy suddenly realized that Lu Li is very dangerous in terms of both combat capability and brain thinking, and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Of course, they themselves were not planning to send anyone there. It would be better for bounty hunters or other powerful people in the new world to do it.
Although this is not very realistic, marking a high reward is at least an idea.
"This Fujitora was a pirate before? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Zefa was very surprised to see that there was a newcomer on the wanted list and the bounty was incredibly high.
"Didn't the report say that this is the fifth great leader of the Beasts Pirates? He is incredibly powerful and probably not much inferior to us. He is definitely not comparable to an ordinary vice-captain."
Sengoku said that Fujitora's joining made him more vigilant against the Beasts Pirates again.
Originally, he thought that the strongest pirate group in the New World should be the Whitebeard Pirates among the Four Emperors, but now it is obvious that the Beasts Pirates are stronger.
The Beasts Pirates not only have a complete country with strong war potential, but their current top combat power is also a bit too strong.
Originally, King's Lunaria clan was a thorn in the side of the World Government, and was also among the top among the emperors and vice-chairmen. Now with the addition of Fujitora, Kaido already has the power to dominate the New World.
"These people have the ability but don't learn, they insist on becoming pirates!"
Zefa said with hatred, "Fortunately, our navy also has talent replenishment. I met the young man Huangmu and he seems to be quite capable. He should not be defeated by Jin. Let's wait for his news."

At this time, the dedicated Den Den Mushi that Zhan Guo carried with him rang. Not many people knew his number, so it should be a call from a high-ranking naval official, so he answered it directly.
After the Den Den Mushi answered the call, his expression changed immediately, and his snail head even turned green. "Moshi Moshi, is this Mr. Sengoku?"
Zhan Guo was delighted when he heard the voice, "Is it Huang Mu? How are you now?"
"It's me. I'm slightly injured, but I'll be well soon."
Huangmu replied.
"Did you defeat Jhin?"
Zefa interrupted and asked.
"No, we started the battle in the Western Sky Top Route. There was white sea below, which was not conducive to the use of my abilities. He is the user of the Winged Dragon Fruit and is too flexible."
There was a sense of frustration in Huangmu's tone. He felt that he should be stronger in terms of hard power, but in actual combat he was suppressed.
If the two were on land, the battle would definitely not be like this.
"The navy below has already evacuated. If you have no strength left, retreat as well."
Zefa said that he was not the kind of person who was very radical and greedy for merit. He felt that the most important thing was that the navy's seedlings were alive, and it was okay not to do the tasks assigned by the Five Elders.
Before Sengoku could speak, Aramaki in the Den Den Mushi retorted, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zephyr, but I'm fine at the moment. I just got separated by the current after a battle with Jin. I will continue to chase them upwards, so leave everything on Sky Island to me."
Zefa was a little worried when he heard this, but he also felt that what Huangmu said was right, and he seemed like a very responsible navy, so he could only encourage him: "Then you do your best."
After the Den Den Mushi hung up, Zephyr said with emotion: "This child has the potential to be a great general."
Zhan Guo had a strange look on his face. He really wanted to say that this man was clearly just a greedy guy, not a great general.
However, Huangmu's strength is indeed good. If he can complete this mission successfully and the Five Elders favor him, Huangmu may become an admiral within two years. By then, he will be the fastest person to become an admiral in the history of the Navy.
…………
At the Baron terminal on Sky Island, Lu Li and the others naturally had no idea about the turmoil in the Navy Headquarters because of them, nor did they know that Huangmu had separated from Jin and was heading towards Sky Island to hunt them down.
They were exploring the ruins of the sky island. Huge vines were creeping across the island, and the mottled ancient buildings gave them a sense of history.
It is difficult to appreciate the magical feeling that Sky Island brings without arriving here in person. Lu Li finally understood why so many people like to go on sea adventures. The constant novelty and excitement make people excited.
"Mr. Lu, can you come and help move off the boat?"
While Lu Li was exploring the buildings on the sky island with curiosity, Xuefeng outside shouted and urged them to go. They had just landed on the sky island and the voyage had not yet ended.
The Top of the Western Sky is a waterway formed by the White Sea, extending from Qinghai to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and can lead to other sky islands.
Baron has long been a historical ruin and is certainly not their destination. They have to go to other sky islands to find their target.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li stopped his adventure and prepared to go back to move the boat.
But after taking just two steps, he heard a prompt from the End Space.
[Side quest: The new stage of becoming famous at sea has been completed, and rewards are now being issued to pioneers. ]
Lu Li was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that the next stage was a 1 billion bounty. Did he meet the requirement?
But he already has the domineering aura.
