Chapter 75: The Incomprehensible Bounty Posters!
Still in the second half of the Grand Line, the New World, on Whole Cake Island, Big Mom, reclining on a giant sofa, had just finished listening to her subordinate read the report about the White Town in the North Sea.
"Have someone contact the Vinsmoke Family. I need detailed intelligence on the Red Nose Pirates," after a brief consideration, Big Mom gave the order.
"Mama, are you preparing to send them an invitation?" Not far from the giant sofa, a long-legged man wearing an eggshell and with a teacup on his head asked.
"Of course. This is a pirate crew worthy of receiving an invitation. With them joining us, we will have a chance to crush the Whitebeard Pirates head-on." At this point, a furious killing intent flashed in Big Mom's somewhat bloodshot eyes.
On an island in the first half of the Grand Line, a man who walked as if he were breaking wind picked up a newspaper. Looking at the photo printed on it, he said with a cold expression, "Captain, the person who treacherously ambushed you will pay the price. I will definitely avenge you."
If Buggy were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize this man as Golden Lion Shiki's capable assistant, Dr. Indigo, the very doctor Buggy never encountered in the secret realm of Virmel in the Grand Line.
Also in the first half of the Grand Line, the reactions of two old men at Twin Capes and the Sabaody Archipelago were completely different upon seeing the newspaper.
Crocus wore a smile on his lips. He succeeded in his revenge. Law's heart should be much more at ease now. As a rare disciple, Crocus naturally didn't want him to be lost to hatred.
And in the amusement park on the Sabaody Archipelago, the white-haired Rayleigh looked at the news with a calm expression, his thoughts completely unreadable.
In Amazon Lily, Kuja City, on the Calm Belt, Sandersonia, sitting high on her throne, looked at the newspaper in her hand, a slight curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, Brother Buggy and Big Sis and the others have finally formed a pirate crew! I'm so happy for them," Marigold said happily from the side.
"You carefree thing, you should be worried for them right now. Brother Buggy doesn't make a move, but when he does, he annihilates three great kingdoms. I've met that Sarkozy IV at the World Conference; the top brass of the World Government thinks very highly of him. If Brother Buggy had killed anyone else, the World Government would at most be furious for a bit, then casually issue a wanted poster and the matter would be over. But Sarkozy IV was a key figure in the World Government's layout for the North Sea in the coming years. I estimate that the World Government probably won't let this go easily this time."
After Sandersonia accepted the World Government's invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, she also participated in the recent World Conference due to her status as the empress of Kuja.
After hearing her second sister's words, Marigold pouted and said, "Sister, you should know how strong Brother Buggy and their Red Nose Pirates are. Just Brother Buggy, Big Sis, and the Great Swordsman Dracule Mihawk alone would require considerable combat power to have a chance of winning. I don't know the strength of the World Government, but using the Marines as a measure, they'd probably have to send all three Admirals at once to put them in danger. As long as we pay attention to the whereabouts of the three Admirals and notify Big Sis and the others in time, there shouldn't be any danger, right?"
"The enemies of pirates are not just the Marines; pirates are also enemies to each other. Brother Buggy and his crew have made a big splash this time, so it's natural for them to be targeted by other pirates. However, I believe that with their strength, as long as they don't directly confront the other three Emperors of the New World, there shouldn't be any major problems."
And while Sandersonia wore a pensive expression, on an island in the West Sea, Shanks, with his dazzling red hair, was also looking at a newspaper.
"So that's the Buggy you were talking about. This guy is really something else. To think that just a few people could breach three royal palaces in a single day and wipe out the three royal families surrounding the White Town. Looks like we're in for a tough fight," Benn Beckman said, standing beside Shanks with a cigar in his mouth.
"Yeah, it's definitely going to be a tough fight. After all, even I didn't expect that guy Mihawk to actually accept his invitation. This is a real headache now, hahahahahaha." As Shanks spoke, he suddenly burst into his carefree laughter.
"Boss, I don't think it's strange that Mihawk agreed to join Buggy. I heard from Mihawk that Buggy found him the day after the Pirate King's execution and invited him, then waited for sixteen years. I believe that kind of patience is enough to move most people. Now it seems the wait was absolutely worth it," Yasopp analyzed with a grin.
"Thinking so much is useless. Didn't the captain say it? If we run into them, we'll have a big fight, and then drink afterwards. Buggy and the captain are brothers from the same era. In the eyes of others, our Red Hair Pirates are allies of the Red Nose Pirates, not enemies. It's all good, no matter what. Don't you think so, Captain?" Lucky Roo asked Shanks while munching on a large piece of meat.
"Hahahaha, right! Speaking of which, I still haven't thanked him for the matter with my arm. Next time we meet, don't forget to remind me to thank that guy Buggy before we start fighting! Let's go, let's head back to the New World. That guy Buggy should be preparing to enter the New World soon too." Accompanied by his carefree laughter, the Red Force slowly set sail in the morning sun, then gradually disappeared over the horizon.
Three days later, in the Fleet Admiral's office at Marine Headquarters, a Marine officer stood before Sengoku's desk.
"Fleet Admiral, may I ask if the bounty amounts on these wanted posters are a bit high? After all, this is the Red Nose Pirates' first bounty," the Marine officer asked loudly, standing straight before Sengoku.
"High? I don't think so. If anything, they might even be a bit low. This is final. Send them out!" Waving his hand, Sengoku looked at the wanted posters on his desk and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Saying no more, the mid-level Marine officer turned and walked out. Before turning, he glanced at the wanted posters on Sengoku's desk.
There were eight in total, from left to right. The first one featured a sunny young man with blue hair. Ahem, if it weren't for the glaring red nose, the photo on the wanted poster would be more perfect. However, the words printed below the photo made the officer's eyelids twitch—Red-Nosed Buggy, Wanted Dead or Alive, 500,000,000 Berries!
Right next to Red-Nosed Buggy was the former Warlord of the Sea, the Great Swordsman Dracule Mihawk, who was stripped of his title by the World Government after the Dressrosa incident. His bounty was 385,000,000 Berries.
Following that was the one poster among the eight that the mid-level Marine officer could not understand: "Toy Empress" Boa Hancock, bounty 300,000,000 Berries.
