For a while, the discussion among the crowd gradually subsided.

  Sengoku cleared his throat and said: "I hope you will pay enough attention to this matter."

  "The East Blue is the most peaceful sea in the world. The average bounty for pirates is less than 5 million."

  "But now the bounty on White Knight Gawain has reached 85 million Belly."

  "Words are no longer enough to describe his threat."

  "You know, Smoker fought him twice. The first time, he had no way to deal with a Logia Fruit user, but only a few months ter, when they fought for the second time, he had already mastered the Armament Haki."

  "Such potential can even be compared with those monsters that roam the New World."

  There was an incredible emotion in Sengoku's voice.

  You should know that since Roger was executed in Loguetown 20 years ago, there has been no strong force in the East Blue for a long time."

  It is a peaceful sea recognized by the world, and it is also a facade that the Marines and even the World Government work hard to maintain.

  But now, Gawain has directly broken this peace, which is equivalent to giving the World Government a sp.

  The people sitting in the conference room were silent for a while, but their expressions were as bck as charcoal.

  Akainu's expression, which was cold as ice and hard as steel, changed.

  Accompanied by a sharp burning sound, everyone's eyes gathered on Sengoku's left side.

  Akainu, who was wearing a military cap, lowered his head, and his specific expression could not be seen clearly.

  But his voice revealed an unshakable will while speaking: "The evil must be strangled in the cradle."

  "I'll go and defeat White Knight Gawain, along with Fire Fist Ace, who just rose in the East Blue."

  Fire Fist Ace?

  Hearing the familiar name, Sengoku gnced at Garp without leaving a trace.

  Seeing the tter's cheeks puffed slightly with his head lowered and said nothing, but the hands under the table were tightly clenched as if he was suppressing his instincts.

  Sengoku sighed secretly, shook his head, and said: "Just wait."

  "Kaido is making trouble in the New World again. I heard that this time, he had a head-on conflict with Ochoku. You should keep an eye on the things over there."

  "These pirates, known as the four emperors, are the opponents that the Marines's highest combat power has to deal with."

  Akainu nodded and took the task.

  Sengoku gnced at the crowd and finally set his sights on Zephyr, who had just resigned from the position of chief instructor of the Marine Academy and returned to the front line of the battlefield.

  "This time, Zephyr will go to the East Blue. It's a good opportunity to test the effect of the Battle Smasher."

  Zephyr raised his hand and pushed his sungsses, saying lightly: "Got it."

  Sengoku responded and reminded: "In addition, according to the report obtained by the Marines who explored the scene, the pirate ship that sank to the bottom of the sea was cut off by a sword."

  "White Knight Gawain should have a certain level of accomplishment in swordsmanship. With such strength, a bounty of 85 million is already enough to expin his threat."

  "The specific bounty amount will be finalized today."

  The actions of the Marine Headquarters are much faster than those of the branches.

  In just three days, the News Coos from the World Economy News set off from various branches.

  At this moment, in the New World.

  Under the instruction of the World Government, the test newspapers, together with the test bounty, are sent to all parts of the world.

  Hawk Eyes, who had just passed Fish-Men isnd, was sitting on a ship made of several logs.

  The simple raft that can't even be called a pirate ship lets the current carry him to unknown waters.

  The sea surface was turbulent, and the weather was unpredictable, but the raft under Hawk Eyes' feet was as stable as a mountain.

  A few minutes ter.

  A News Coo flew at Hawk Eyes' raft, threw down a stack of newspapers, took a banknote from Hawk Eyes's hand, and skillfully put it into the pocket on its chest.

  Then it fpped its wings and flew away, disappearing on the horizon.

  "This is…"

  Hawk Eyes opened the newspaper and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar bounty.

  "Although the photo doesn't match the person, the name is undoubtedly that guy's. After such a tragic defeat, he has risen so quickly."

  "And judging from the bounty, his strength seems to have improved again compared to the day when he challenged me."

  Looking at the name and the skyrocketing number on the bounty, Hawk Eyes is looking forward to Gawain's future more and more.

  Unlike the unripe Fruit in the East Blue, in the near future, Gawain, who has become powerful, will definitely be able to fight him head-on happily without any reservations.

  Since Red Hair lost an arm, he has been looking forward to such an opponent for too long.

  Hawk Eyes's mouth curled up slightly, but his eyes became sharp in the next moment.

  Just because the sky in the distance was visibly turning dark to the naked eye, the clouds were swirling like a whirlpool, and lightning fshed.

  The overpping waves on the sea were as high as a hundred meters, and they were pressing towards Hawk Eyes with the power to swallow everything.

  Not to mention the raft under Hawk Eyes's feet, which was not even a boat, even a Marines warship, in the face of such a natural disaster, in an instant would be swallowed up and buried in the sea.

  But Hawk Eyes's face was full of indescribable excitement: "You want to challenge me too?!"

  The sword at his back was unsheathed and held in Hawk Eyes's hand.

  Boom!

  He waved lightly, and the light blue flying ssh flew out of his hand, directly tearing the incoming waves into pieces.

  As soon as the waves subsided, the sea accumuted a wave with higher momentum.

  Hawk Eyes showed no fear on his face.

  He rode the raft under his feet and plunged into the storm.

  He wanted to take the sea as his enemy!

  When the storm subsided, Hawk Eyes's ship had already anchored on a deserted isnd.

  The surroundings were full of trees, and it was not long before there were birds flying by, but after seeing the figure on the shore, they scattered away.

  At this moment, Hawk Eyes put the long sword behind him and walked along the beach, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.

  Red Hair, who else?

  Laughter, banquet, drinks, and the familiar Red Force anchored on the shore, Hawk Eyes unconsciously quickened his pace.

  "Hey, Mihawk, you are here too?"

  Red Hair looked at the man in front of him with a little surprise, and then his eyes turned, and he skillfully took out a brand new bounty from his side, like showing off: "Do you know?"

  "It has increased again."

  "Hahahaha!"

  Hawk Eyes was slightly stunned and subconsciously said: "How do you know that the bounty of the man I value has increased again?"

  The scene was quiet for a while.

  Everyone looked at Shanks, then at Hawk Eyes, with an inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

  I knew that your retionship was not right!

  Beckman was immediately attracted by this powerful figure who was not inferior to Shanks, and he couldn't help but recruit him: "That… Are you really not considering joining us? After all, this pce is closer to the man you value."

  Hawk Eyes raised his eyebrows, noticed the strange looks of the crowd, saw the bounty on Shanks' hand, and then realized that everyone had misunderstood.

  He quickly took out Gawain's bounty and pointed at the amount on it.

  "It's White Knight Gawain. His bounty has increased again."

  "Two hundred and forty-eight million!"

  "In less than half a year, the bounty has skyrocketed more than thirty times from eight million! This speed is rare even in the New World!"
