And this girl is so young, having been at sea for only a little over a year.
Her strength has already reached such a level!
No wonder she was decided early on to be the Deputy Captain by that man...
"The last of the Four Calamities!"
Blanu's voice suddenly increased, pointing to the last Warrant on the white board:
"This person has been briefly introduced by the Marshal of the Warring States, a newcomer who just joined the Endgame, but undoubtedly! Also currently the most dangerous character among the Four Calamities, the Blind Swordsman, Issho!"
In the photo, the Blind Swordsman is dressed in a purple yukata, holding a Staff Blade, eyes closed, and face placid.
"With his own strength, he stopped all reinforcements, suppressing Mr. Zephyr to the point where he couldn't advance an inch! I don't need to elaborate on what kind of person the latter is, as many here are Mr. Zephyr's disciples and should be much more familiar with Mr. Zephyr's strength than I am!"
Blanu surveyed the crowd, speaking in a deep voice:
"According to Mr. Zephyr's own assessment, the strength of this Blind Swordsman has fully reached Admiral Level! His Press-Press Fruit ability development is extremely high, capable of even controlling meteors to fall from the sky!"
"What's more worrying is that after joining the Endgame, this person seems to fully agree with Shano's ideology, his stance is extremely firm, and in the Shampodi incident, when questioned by Mr. Zephyr, he publicly stated his willingness to pave the way for Shano's 'evil'!"
"Obviously a strong figure from among the people, never been bountied, yet neither pursuing justice nor serving the Navy, instead associating with marauders, truly despicable!"
"Thus, the headquarters has decided to grant him a bounty matching his power, 'Star Fall' Issho, initial bounty, set at 2.1 billion Belly!"
The meeting room instantly erupted into an uproar.
2.1 billion Belly!
This has already surpassed the bounty of the highest cadres of all Royal Teams, and a step up would be the Sea Emperors themselves!
Only a first Warrant, yet such a high Bounty Order...
The last to receive such a treatment, you'd have to trace back several decades to that Rocks who caused havoc in the Holy Land and murdered a civilian Grand Admiral!
Is it exaggerated?
Of course it's exaggerated, but this guy's strength has been personally acknowledged by Teacher Zephyr!
As Blanu said, many high-ranking individuals present are disciples personally cultivated by Zephyr, they trust the teacher's character very much.
Since Teacher Zephyr says this person's strength has reached Admiral Level, then it certainly is, retreating a step, even if not as strong as the current three Grand Admirals, it must be close.
Endgame.
This Pirate Gang, established only a year ago, in terms of overall scale, hasn't yet caught up with the other Four Emperors.
But the depth of high-level cadre is probably only matched by the Red Hair Pirates, known for their impenetrable defenses, and the mighty Whitebeard Pirates!
"Silence!"
Sengoku knocked on the table, waiting for the noise to subside, he signaled Blanu to remove all Warrants from the whiteboard.
Finally replaced, only one remains.
But this Warrant, displayed, is even more effective than Sengoku's roar, the large meeting room fell silent instantly, all eyes focused on this Warrant!
In the photo.
The handsome black-haired youth draped in a black cloak stood under the sun, the tachi on his shoulder still dripping blood, gazing downwards with eyes that seemed to view trash.
The one those eyes are looking at, all high ranking members present know full well...
Even though the photo is static, the overpowering Haki still makes the generals present unconsciously break into a cold sweat, breathing heavily...
"Judging by your reactions, it's clear the weight of this man today."
Blanu, too, wiped the sweat off his forehead, his expression serious:
"The most dangerous existence of this era! The most vicious marauder! During the recent Shampodi incident, he publicly slaughtered four World Nobility, and arrogantly tore up the ceasefire agreement, challenging the authority of the World Government!"
"His crimes already exceed the scope of ordinary pirates, his threat level is enough to shake our foundation! Authorized personally by the Holy Land—"
Blanu took a deep breath, placing both hands on the table, revealing the answer in a trembling voice:
"World's No.1 Sword Master! Godslayer Shano! His new bounty is set at 4,186 million Belly!!!"
In the silence, Blanu's voice echoed through the room.
4,186 million Belly... this number is terrifyingly out of reach.
But no one is in uproar, nor does anyone question it.
Because it's that man!
No one would think this bounty is too high, the increase rate too fast...
Even though his bounty soared nearly one billion Belly compared to last time, even surpassing Red-haired Shanks among the Four Emperors!
It is still rightful!
On this vast sea, only three people have higher bounties than this man... some Navy higher-ups quietly digesting this information in their minds.
"Blanu." Tsuru suddenly asked, "Can you help me calculate the total bounty of the Endgame currently?"
"Yes, Chief Strategist Ma'am!"
Blanu hesitated but quickly responded, saluting first, then calculating rapidly and reporting:
"Among the cadres, those remaining are seven people, totaling 2.292 billion Belly, four went out, totaling 6.745 billion Belly, plus Shano himself, 12.223 billion Belly!"
"You missed some."
Tsuru expressionless picked up her red tea and took a sip, "Based on intelligence, among this year's Super Rookies, aren't there several who joined the Endgame too? Including them..."
She lifted her head, speaking softly: "It already exceeds 13 billion Belly."
"..."
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly grew heavier, many exhaling smoke rings and falling into silence.
A genuine 'Hundred Billion Royal Team'?
This title is equally intimidating...
"The wave of the new generation has arrived, we the Navy cannot stand aside."
Sengoku stood up, his expression having returned to calm, summarizing in a deep voice:
"Everyone, please attach the utmost importance to this unstoppable rise of a new power! This gang of marauders must not be underestimated, but also don't be too worried!"
He's experienced far too many deep waters and turbulent waves.
From Rocks to Roger, countless Pirate Gang prospered and declined, yet still standing at the world's pinnacle, isn't that still just the Navy!
Bam!
Sengoku's right palm struck the table heavily, his volume abruptly increasing, his hair and beard bristling as he roared:
"Betting on my name, Sengoku Buddha, betting on the Navy's justice and glory! It won't be long, sooner or later, we will bury the Endgame, bury that dangerous monster completely beneath this vast sea!!!"
————
New World, a remote small town.
Knock knock.
Sudden urgent knocking broke the night silence.
In the dim room, Morgans raised his head abruptly from the pile of news drafts, vigilantly placing the feather pen aside.
"Who?!"
He lowered his voice to question.
"..."
No response from outside, only a second, more muffled knock, Morgans squinted, fingering the pistol under the table, slowly opening a crack in the window with a wing.
"Long time no dealings, Morgans."
In the moonlight, three silhouettes in white coats blocked the window, the leader with hands in pockets, expression indifferent:
"Finding your hiding place really took a lot of effort, but this is the end of the line, you need to come with us."
"CP-0, isn't it?"
Morgans blinked in surprise, "Coming to my door, is it... for the paper I recently published?"
"Hey hey hey, let's be reasonable, those secrets related to the World Government, the Pentagram Array, the Undying Body of Divine Knight, I tactfully omitted those, didn't write them down."
"If you were truly tactful, you should have altered all the death news of the World Nobility, wouldn't be hiding nervously in such a rural place."
The leading CP-0 sneered, impatiently said:
"No more nonsense, this is an order from Saint Saturn himself, asking you to go to the Holy Land for a cup of tea, you have no choice but to comply, put down the weapon and cooperate obediently!"
