Chapter 551: Mary Joa's Secret Talk
Explosion!
Big bang!
The war on the top is over, but the series of reactions caused by the incident are far from gone.
People all over the world are digesting and accepting the new era.
The Four Emperors Whitebeard died, and the Whitebeard Pirates disbanded.
The Marine Headquarters, Marinford, has become a ruin and has been abandoned by the World Government. The Marine Headquarters has also moved to the G1 branch in the New World and has been renamed New Marinford.
Almost every day in the second half of the Grand Line, that is, the New World, there are explosive news. In order to compete and devour Whitebeard's resources and territory, the major forces began to fight... The battle was particularly fierce. The most important thing is that the World Government's control over the New World was not strong, and there was no way to stop and interfere. But these are not the most important. Although the layout of the newspaper changes every day, there is always only one front page.
'The Emperor of the New Era, the God Slayer Oboro! '
'The new Four Emperors have emerged. '
'Whitebeard's successor, the most powerful man on the sea? Or is it the biggest threat the World Government has ever faced? ’
Various titles such as these began to appear in the public eye, but the content remained unchanged, all of them were about the Hell Pirates.
And almost all of them had wanted posters of Oboro or some live broadcast footage of the war at the top.
‘Red Hair vs God Slayer, who is stronger? ’
‘Terrible bounty, second only to Pirate King Roger, the great 5.2 billion! ’
‘The bounty of all members of the Hell Pirates exceeded 10 billion! ’
‘The strongest of the Four Emperors, the first of the Worst Generation. ’
Many slogans full of gimmicks have undoubtedly focused the attention of people all over the world on Oboro.
You know, before the war at the top began, even though everyone knew that the Hell Pirates were a huge threat and had good strength, the World Government or the Celestial Dragons had been suppressing this public opinion, and Oboro's 500 million bounty had never changed, fearing that it would boost the pirates' arrogance and cause panic. It would also make some member countries doubt the "control" of the World Government, causing "cracks" in power, but now it is useless to keep silent.
The whole world saw this live broadcast.
Although the final outcome was not witnessed, the result of Marinford has been made public.
The bounty of Pirate King Roger is 5.5648 billion.
On the second day after the end of the war on the top, the new bounty order of the Hell Pirates was announced.
God Slayer Oboro, bounty 5.217 billion.
This is a little more than Whitebeard's 5 billion.
From the side, it shows that the World Government has compared the God Slayer or the entire Hell Pirates with the Roger Pirates of the year.
Barrett is more than 3.1 billion.
Rain Shiryu is more than 1.3 billion.
Crocodile is 920 million.
Waldo is 1 billion.
Enel is 950 million, even a little more than the vice-captain Crocodile.
The reason for this is that from the perspective of the World Government, there is a difference in the threat between the two, because they are quite familiar with Crocodile, which reduces the risk factor to a certain extent, but Enel is still a little "strange".
The amount of the bounty is not just based on strength.
Then there is Yurivich, whose worth has skyrocketed to 600 million.
Dom is 700 million.
Kaka, Dolans, Mr. Daz and Sky Island Priest, the bounties have also climbed to more than 200 million.
Rob Lucci, who has changed his face, is also called ‘Hadori’, and his bounty is more than 300 million.
This also makes the Hell Pirates the pirate group with the highest bounty on the sea today.
What is scary is the number of people in the Hell Pirates... Everyone knows that once they enter the New World... the Hell Pirates will definitely expand.
Then the number of people and bounties of the subsequent fleet will be unimaginable.
The reason why the bounty of the Hell Pirates is so high is that in addition to the war on the top, there is also the reason why the Impel Down was captured. No matter which of these two things, it is unprecedented. Including the previous ‘preaching’ in the Sabaody Archipelago, granting pirates divine power, making the first half of the Grand Line extremely chaotic.
Even the Roger Pirates can’t do these.
In terms of danger alone, the Roger Pirates are not comparable to the Hell Pirates. Roger's threat is that he knows the truth about the world and leads a new era... making the world different and difficult for the Celestial Dragons to control.
Because Roger was eventually silenced and the "secret" was not made public, for the World Government, it was equivalent to the "crisis" being resolved.
What they fear is that the secret will be known.
At least one-third of Roger's bounty of more than 5 billion comes from his knowledge of the world's secrets.
But the threat of the Hell Pirates is direct "destruction".
The two are not the same kind of people at all.
In addition to the uproar caused by the Impel Down and the Battle of the Top, there were some small episodes during the period, such as Morgans of the World News Agency published a photo, which was the photo of the original team of the Hell Pirates executing the Celestial Dragons in the East Sea Pole Kingdom.
It also caused a thousand waves.
You know, the bounties of most members of the "Great Evil Generation" that is now on the rise on the sea are only at the level of 100 million or 200 million, which is not even comparable to the few members of the Hell Pirates with the weakest reputation.
So, it is only natural... the Hell Pirates are recognized as the new Four Emperors.
Successfully replaced the Whitebeard Pirates.
Even if they haven't taken action in the new world, haven't participated in the chaos caused by the new world, and started to occupy Whitebeard's territory... it will only be a matter of time before they become the four emperors.
Many people are already comparing the Hell Pirates to the other three Yonko.
In addition, in this series of events, in addition to the Hell Pirates, many people also had changes in their bounties, which became a topic of conversation.
Just like Luffy and Bucky the Clown.
Especially Bucky the Clown. Before the Hell Pirates appeared, this guy had a live broadcast of the Image Bug in his hand and showed off his 'big wave' in front of people all over the world. He was considered popular and no one knew about it. People don’t know it, but the bounty has become quite high now.
There is also Blackbeard Teach and others.
The outside world is already noisy.
But no one knows what happened to the Hell Pirates.
It seemed that after Marinefando caused a scene, they hid and temporarily 'disappeared'.
…
One day, the Holy Land Marie Gioia.
An agent led a mysterious figure covered in a cloak into a heavily guarded council building.
After walking in the long corridor for a long time, he reached out and knocked on the tight door.
"Come in."
A serious voice came from inside the house.
The agent pushed the door open, turned around and extended his hand to the cloaked man, asking him to come in.
The latter said thank you and stepped in.
Entered the luxurious and classic hall.
Looking up, there were five people standing or sitting in the room with different postures and auras.
But undoubtedly, all eyes were focused on him.
The cloaked man reached out and took off his hood, revealing his face.
"You actually came to us."
Saint Maz in the Five Old Stars said indifferently.
"You shouldn't be surprised that I come to you...otherwise, you wouldn't be able to agree to this meeting."
Shanks smiled slightly.
"Besides, you also know why I'm here."
"Now...it's time to throw away some positional issues, isn't it?"
Shanks' smile gradually faded and his eyes became serious.
"The situation...should have exceeded your expectations and control..."
The five old stars looked at each other and were silent.
