Chapter 259 Five Emperors
In this world, there are only a handful of figures whose names alone inspire fear in people.
The current Pirate King Gol D. Roger, Edward Newgate, Albert Nicholas, Redfield, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin are among them.
For Ordinary People, even mentioning these names requires a certain degree of courage.
This is the effect brought about by titles.
Currently, with the reputation that Nicholas possesses, although it's not yet to the extent of making children stop crying like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, it is still possible to rely on reputation to deter some people from acting rashly.
But this is far from enough for Nicholas.
Or rather, what's the point of only being feared by a group of harmless small fry?
What Nicholas wants to do is to make the World Government, Marine Headquarters, and even the countless Pirates in the New World—lose the will to resist upon hearing his title.
"Captain, when are we going back to the Blue Sea?"
Katie asked while exchanging blows with Nicholas.
"No rush. Once the construction here is almost complete, and some of the Shandia warriors have learned Armament Haki, we can return to the Blue Sea."
Nicholas raised his sword to block Katie's tricky strike and replied. Since he planned to manage Sky Island into another Base, it naturally required some effort.
Just as Nicholas was on Vacation on Sky Island, the Blue Sea below Sky Island was being rocked by successive Big News, causing turbulent Waves.
Even the News Delivery Bird under Morgans of the World Economic Journal were becoming insufficient. Big News was generated every day, making Morgans feel like it was New Year.
"According to our Intelligence, Bullet destroyed Rhino Island and then G-6 Branch. His current whereabouts are unknown!"
"Furthermore, Intelligence indicates that Trace of Red Count Redfield has appeared in the British Isles. After killing the British Royal Family, he left openly. Anyone who tried to stop him during this process was killed without exception."
"Whitebeard's First Division Commander, Marco, after fighting fiercely with Katakuri for three days, clashed with King the Flame Disaster under the Beasts Pirates. Due to the Mobility of both, we cannot accurately ascertain their movements."
"The Beasts Pirates and BIGMOM Pirates have officially announced an Alliance to the outside world. Currently, more than twenty Pirate Crews are rushing towards Totto Land!"
"The Revolutionary Army has shown signs of activity in the West Blue. Their Target is currently uncertain."
"Furthermore, Intelligence Departments in the New World and the Four Seas have stated that they have not discovered the Whereabouts of Roger Pirates members or Roger. At the same time, there is also no News of the Nicholas Pirates."
It was still the same Conference Room as before. At this moment, the Conference Room could be described as Gloomy.
These pieces of News are more Troublesome than the last. In these News, Nicholas and Roger actually appear to be well-behaved children. After all, one is the Pirate King, and the other is a madman who dared to attack Mary Geoise. In the current environment, it's already good News that they haven't jumped out to cause trouble.
"The problem now is, what should we do?"
Kong scanned the Navy high-ranking officers in the Conference Room and asked.
It could be said that these problems gave him, who originally disliked handling Things, an especially bad headache.
"Of course, we should concentrate all our Power and Eradicate all those villains at Sea!"
Sakazuki said forcefully. As a Hardliner in the Navy, he almost wore his disgust for Pirates on his Face.
After speaking, Sakazuki looked at the Hardliner figures, but found that no one responded to him. They were all silent, as if contemplating something.
"Sakazuki, don't be Naive. We were able to take down Golden Lion back then with a lot of Luck involved. If we choose to wage All-out war against those guys, the Cost we pay will not be something we can Endure."
Sengoku glanced at Sakazuki and said. Although he didn't like Sakazuki's Personality, he had to admit that subordinates who faithfully executed Orders like this were really useful.
"Those guys at Sea are constantly fighting each other, nothing more than for Reputation and Right. Since that's the case, why don't we give them Reputation and let them Kill each other?"
Tsuru looked at Sengoku and slowly said. As for the other guys in the Conference Room, Tsuru subconsciously ignored them.
"Using Reputation to make them Kill each other? That is indeed a good method."
Sengoku pondered for a while and found that what Tsuru said was indeed a good direction. None of the Powerful Figures at Sea can escape the World of Fame and Fortune. For example, if someone claims to be the World's Greatest Swordsman, then naturally someone will think, 'Why should that Weapon?'
And the guys after the World's Greatest Swordsman will naturally be even more unconvinced. After all, you are first and I am second, and we haven't gone through a real Slaughter of life and death. Who knows who is the Strongest?
It's like when Roger became Pirate King, countless Pirates wanted to find him and take him down to Become famous.
"In addition to using Reputation to make them Kill each other, we can also use Benefit to Co-opt some Powerful Figures with Considerations. As far as I know, many Powerful Figures are not Alone. Behind them are countries or other People they value. We can Co-opt these People and form them into a new Force to Restrain those guys in the New World."
Two days later.
New World Sea, on the Moby Dick, a Banquet was held for the returning Marco. As Marco fought battles everywhere and successively clashed with Powerful Figures such as Katakuri and King, it could be said that Whitebeard was increasingly Gratified.
After all, with such a Promising Son, how could Pops not be happy!
Just then, a Newspaper Delivery Seagull flew overhead and dropped a few Newspapers.
The huge headline on the Newspaper was—Sea's Five Emperors!
And a few of the latest Bounty Wanted Posters were also clipped inside the Newspaper.
One was of Roger, and the other five were of Newgate, Nicholas, and others.
Newgate glanced at his Bounty Poster, quite surprised.
At his level, the Bounty is basically fixed like Strength, and it's difficult to have room for further increase.
Unless he causes some new Major event, the Bounty will not change.
Charlotte Linlin and Kaido's Bounties are 3,518,000,000 and 3,223,400,000 Beli respectively. Red Count Redfield's Bounty is 3,067,200,000 Beli.
Although Redfield's Bounty is lower than Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, no one would underestimate Red Count. After all, this Weapon is an Existence that is one person and one Pirate Crew. If Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were to duel Redfield one-on-one, the one at a disadvantage would definitely not be Redfield.
"Pops, your Bounty has also increased!?"
Marco, holding a Beer, looked at the Bounty Poster in Whitebeard's hand and exclaimed in surprise.
And what Whitebeard didn't expect was that the Bounty Amount of 3,847,200,000 Beli, which hadn't changed for many years, would increase by 500 million in one go, becoming the current 4,347,200,000 Beli.
"Gurararara, it's those Navy guys again, making boring Things."
Whitebeard didn't pay too much attention to the change in his own Bounty, and instead continued to look at Nicholas's latest Bounty Poster.
5 billion Beli!
This is Nicholas's latest Bounty, outrageously high.
Judging by Bounty alone, it is estimated that only Roger can compare with him.
Marco saw Nicholas's portrait on the Bounty Poster with a hearty smile, put away his Cynical attitude, and Gaze at Nicholas's Bounty Amount with deep Eyes.
He wouldn't forget Nicholas's words back then, and in the exchanges with Katakuri and King, he realized that if it really went according to what Nicholas said, once Whitebeard became Feeble, the Crisis faced by the Whitebeard Pirates would be no joke.
After all, whether it's Katakuri or King, they are both rare Powerful Figures. He couldn't gain an absolute Advantage against these two guys, let alone Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, who are even stronger than these two.
On the Deck.
Everyone cheered loudly, as excited as if it were a festival.
"Pops' Bounty actually increased, and it increased by 500 million at once!"
"Haha, 4,347,200,000 Beli!!!"
"But why hasn't Marco's Bounty changed much? You know, Marco has also done a lot of Major events recently!"
"I don't know, but I'm curious if Roger's Bounty has changed, haha."
"But, Nicholas's Bounty increase this time is too Outrageous, 5 billion Beli. It's even higher than Pops, and almost catching up to Roger."
"How much was it originally?"
"It seems to be around 2 billion."
"Ah?"
"In other words... Nicholas's Bounty more than doubled this time!!!?"
"This..."
"Too Outrageous!"
Talking about Nicholas's latest Bounty, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were slightly Dumbfounded.
But Dumbfounded as they were, what made them most unbelievable was that Nicholas's Bounty had risen all the way to 5 billion Beli.
You know, Nicholas is not some Newcomer Small fry. It's not uncommon for the Bounty of Small fry to double or even triple, but Nicholas is different. Almost every change in his Bounty can be said to be because he has done Things that have a Huge impact.
"So what exactly did that Weapon do?"
"Could it be that he Conquer head-on the World Government? Or killed the Family of the Five Elders?"
"Maybe he Dig up the Ancestral grave of the Celestial Dragons?"
"Huh?"
"I still can't quite believe it."
Everyone looked emotional.
Just thinking about Nicholas's Bounty, they had an Unreal feeling.
And with the efforts of the Newspaper Delivery Seagull, the Title of Five Emperors also Resound throughout the Whole world.
