"Wood, the navy traitor, once released Impel City prisoners, brutally murdered the captain of the naval branch, and was one of the culprits in the destruction of Judiciary Island.
This man is extremely dangerous. Anyone who arrests him will face life or death, and there will be a reward of one billion beli!"
That's right, it's one billion Baileys! Because he was too surprised, Russ confirmed it several times in a row, but no matter how he counted it, the amount of the reward for his captain was always in the ten digits!
Fisher Tiger, who was clearly identified as the mastermind, had his bounty raised from the original 350 million beli to 500 million beli.
As for their captain, his salary was raised from the original 120 million Baileys to one billion Baileys in one go, which was twice as much as Tiger.
Not to mention Ruth and the others were surprised, even Wood himself was dumbfounded when he saw the reward notice.
What's more, he once thought that the Navy's reward order must be a printing error, but no matter how many times he read it, the people on the reward order were all so handsome, so he was basically right.
Then Wood thought of the second possibility, that is, the vest of his own "Mlocculant Sword Master Yasuo" was exposed. If this is the case, the amount of his bounty can indeed reach this amount by adding two by two.
However, there are only a handful of people who know that he is a vest, Gion is one of them, Tiger is one, and the others are just suspicious of Sengoku, so it should be impossible for them to reveal their flaws.
Tiger looked at Wood's reward order and quickly thought of this possibility, but he shook his head at Wood and said that he had never revealed Wood's identity to anyone else, including the most trusted Jinbei and Aaron.
Wood, who was confused, could only find an excuse to leave alone, and then took out his exclusive phone bug to contact Warring States while avoiding everyone's sight.
After the incident on Justice Island ended, Warring States actually wanted to contact Wood several times.
But at that time, Wood was so cruel that he was in a coma, and Warring States could not contact him at all.
The phone bug didn't have a high-end phone message function, so Warring States had been worried about the situation on Wood's side.
But fortunately, Gion had Wood's life paper in hand. Because the paper was intact, they were sure that Wood's current situation should be safe.
Gion returned to the headquarters and reported the situation to Sengoku. Sengoku was quite satisfied with the way Gion and Wood handled the situation.
Not only did he let Spandam take the blame for his father, but he also completely took out the navy, and he also completed the task perfectly.
Now as long as Wood gets the news about the "Pluto" design from Tom, then this mission will almost get a perfect score of 100 points.
"In other words, Tom hid the blueprints in the sea train, and you drove that thing to rescue people. In the end, the blueprints and the sea train were all destroyed in the bombardment?"
After hearing Wood's report, Warring States on the other side of the phone couldn't help but let out a big sigh.
He didn't mean to blame Wood, Gion and the others, he just felt it was a pity.
"Sorry, Marshal Warring States, we have tried our best."
"I can't blame you. Compared to Garp, that old guy with only brains and muscles, you have done better than I expected.
After all, no one would have thought that Tom would hide the blueprints in a place like that.
At least the World Government didn’t get the ‘Pluto’ design this time, so your mission is half completed.”
Sengoku did not mean to comfort Wood, but he and He agreed that even if they were responsible for the matter this time, there was no way they could do better than Wood and Gion.
Compared to the Spandams, who lost so much money that they didn't even have any underwear left, at least their navy earned an extra spot as an admiral this time.
"By the way, Marshal Warring States, there is one more thing I want to ask, that is, what is the reward order about me?
Since you have no dissatisfaction with this mission, why are you targeting me so much and raising my bounty from 120 million beli to 1 billion beli?
I am preparing to enter the new world in a while. If I go there with such a bounty, I will be directly targeted to death by those old pirates!"
It's okay to have the strength and reputation to carry a high bounty, but the point is how long has Wood been a pirate?
After about a year of being a pirate, the bounty amount has reached one billion. Such a young boy who is considered a newbie by other pirates will be targeted when he enters a place like the New World.
How do pirates become famous? Either they cause trouble for the Navy or the World Government, or they kill other big pirates to make themselves famous.
A pirate with a bounty of one billion beli is considered an outstanding existence even in the new world.
What's more, in the eyes of other pirates, Wood is probably just a lucky guy who caused big events everywhere due to luck.
Without even thinking about it, Wood knew that in his current situation, if he went to the New World, he would definitely be targeted. There would probably be many people who wanted to step on his billion-dollar head to get to the top!
"Raising your bounty to one billion Baileys is not only the intention of the Navy, but also the World Government's great efforts.
The combat power of fighting a naval hero without being defeated and killing three CP0s with one sword. If the bounty is set too low, then the naval hero and the world government's strongest spy agency will become less deterrent, so..."
"So you raised my bounty to one billion beli and asked me to go to the new world and become a great pirate?
This is too fucking deceptive, just become a pirate supernova, you are trying to get me to death!"
The over 100 million pirate supernova may be considered a figure in the first half of the Grand Line, but in the eyes of the real big shots in the New World, it is nothing more than that.
But the bounty of one billion beli is different. Pirates who can reach this level are usually those whose navy is helpless, or who dare not touch them casually.
The pirates with such a net worth today are either pirates of the same era as Roger, the Pirate King, or world-class criminals.
"I heard from that old boy Garp that with your current strength, even if you enter the new world, there won't be many people who can threaten you, right?
The pirates of the New World are the real headaches for the navy. Originally, I thought it would take a few years to enter this stage.
But since you have this level of strength, it would be pretty good to enter the strong circle of pirates in advance."
In fact, when he heard Gion and Garp's description of Wood's combat power, Sengoku was absolutely incredible.
He had overestimated Wood's talent and strength as much as possible, but what he couldn't believe was that Wood had grown to this extent now.
If Garp and Gion had not lied about Wood's combat power, Sengoku could even basically judge that Wood's overall combat power was now stronger than Akainu and the three alternate generals!
