Chapter 20 Garin's Fury and the Bounty
Chapter 20 Garin's Fury and the Bounty
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
The Figaland family mansion.
Garin, his entire body wrapped in bandages, sat in the living room, carefully wiping his treasured sword, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, his eyes filled with endless hatred for a certain evil dragon.
In the midst of this almost endless wait, a CP0 agent in a white suit rang the doorbell of the mansion's courtyard.
The butler went to open the door, and after exchanging a few words, the CP0 agent was invited into the living room.
"Greetings, Sacred Heart Garin!"
After bowing respectfully, the CP0 agent went straight to the point and said what Garin wanted to hear most.
"Five minutes ago, Aita from CP8 reported that Kaido appeared on Beehive Island half an hour ago."
Boom!
Garin suddenly stood up, the murderous aura that had been brewing and lingering around his body suddenly exploding, his gaze sharp as a knife as he glanced at CP0.
"Is the news reliable?!"
The CP0 agent instantly felt as if a mountain had been pressed down on his shoulders, not only heavy but also like a mountain of knives.
The terrifying sharpness stung his entire body.
"The accuracy rate can reach 90%!"
Suppressing immense pressure, CP0 spoke up.
"This information was provided by Wang Zhi of Beehive Island himself. He has always wanted to establish stable trade relations with the companies under the names of the various gentlemen. This is the sincerity he is showing."
The sharpness in Garin's eyes softened slightly, and he nodded gently.
"Give the order: Wang Zhi's request has been granted by the Figarand family!"
After saying that, Garin couldn't help but ask again, "How is my sister? Was she abused by that maggot Kaido?!"
"Princess Selene is safe and sound. According to Wang Zhi, she does not appear to have been mistreated..."
At this point, CP0 hesitated, unsure whether to continue.
Garin didn't notice anything amiss at first, and upon hearing what he said, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that I wasn't abused. That damned Blue Dragon Kaido is incredibly audacious! He even dared to kidnap my sister!"
"Considering he didn't harm my sister, let's spare his life after we catch him and keep him as a slave for my sister! Consider it a favor to this maggot!"
Garin was talking to himself, while CP0's face was full of conflicted and hesitant expressions.
"That...that...Karin Sei..."
"Um?!"
CP0's slightly trembling tone made Garin frown slightly.
He turned his head and finally saw the bitter look on CP0's face.
Suddenly, a very ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Garin grabbed CP0 by the collar.
"Whatever comes out of your dog mouth next has to be nothing but good things about my sister!!"
His once handsome and dashing face suddenly transformed into a ferocious and terrifying demon.
CP0 looked bitter, but even if he were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to hide something so serious from Garin.
Finally, with a death wish, after carefully considering his words for a long time, this CP0 member spoke thus:
"Please...please forgive me, Lord Garin, according to what Wang Zhi said..."
“That Blue Dragon Kaido…it’s very likely…that he has already…become…a relative of the Figarand family…”
Rumble!!
Black and red lightning ripped through the sky above Mary Geoise, and a streak of light shot out from the Figarand family mansion, heading straight towards the direction from which the Holy Land was to be taken away.
"Kaido!!!"
A streak of light streaked across the sky.
Garin's suppressed, furious roar finally echoed through the air.
"I will kill you!!!"
………………
The Grand Line, the Calm Belt.
Kaido and his crew took a short rest on a deserted island here.
Bonfire and barbecue.
The four people sat in a circle.
Longbread took out a stack of newspapers and a stack of bounty posters from his backpack.
"Although I don't know where you guys were playing before, you probably don't know about the changes in the world situation yet, right?"
"These are the newspapers I've collected these past few days, along with the latest updated bounty posters. The amounts you've offered are ridiculously high. Take a look."
Kaido showed no mercy and immediately picked up the newspapers and began to examine them one by one according to the timeline.
He is currently completely unaware of the changes that have occurred around the world since the Battle of God Valley.
Although there is the original plot to refer to, the original description of what happened during this period is rather general.
To find out exactly what happened, we still need to read the newspapers and gather intelligence.
"Hmph, the Navy's propaganda is really something!"
Kaido skimmed through the text, quickly skipping over meaningless information and focusing on truly valuable intelligence.
"Steelbow, promoted to Fleet Admiral; Sengoku, promoted to Admiral; the rest..."
"Hmm, it seems we won't be under much pressure in the future."
"With just one admiral from Sengoku, and at most Garp and Zephyr, without the Navy launching a large-scale recruitment drive, the Navy won't have any more admiral-level experts for at least the next five years..."
the other side.
After Kaido chose to look at the newspaper, Charlotte Linlin picked up the wanted poster.
Charlotte Linlin quickly flipped through the bounties of the remaining Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates, and couldn't help but sigh, "They've all increased so much! I wonder how much mine has increased."
As I flipped through the pages, I finally found her own bounty poster on the second-to-last page.
At first glance, her attention was drawn to the amount of the reward.
"Mommy... 15 billion Berries? The World Government has quite the foresight!"
The purchasing power of Beli in this era hadn't depreciated as much as it had in Luffy's time, so the World Government was quite stingy with bounties.
Charlotte Linlin's bounty was already 880 million Berries when she was with the Rocks Pirates.
It has only increased by 6.2 million so far, which is far from doubling.
Keep in mind, she participated in almost the entire God Valley battle!
Although no Celestial Dragons were directly harmed, if this had happened in Luffy's era, a bounty of 25 billion would have been the bare minimum.
After admiring her bounty, Charlotte Linlin turned her attention to her new title.
"Um?!"
Charlotte Linlin blinked, wondering if she was seeing things.
After confirming it several times, she immediately burst into laughter.
"Mommy... Mommy... Kaido! Quick! Look! The World Government has given me a new title, Mommy... Mommy..."
Charlotte Linlin was overjoyed, patting Kaido's shoulder repeatedly with her large hand.
Kaido suppressed his frustration, quickly read the last newspaper, and then took the bounty poster from Charlotte Linlin and looked down at it.
next second.
Kaido: (╬ ̄皿 ̄)
"Those bastards from the World Government!!"
The wanted poster clearly stated—
【Dragon Knight Charlotte Linlin – Bounty 15 Billion Berries! Death or No Regrets!】
"Dragon Knight Princess, Mommy... Dragon Knight Princess, Mommy..."
Charlotte Linlin laughed so hard that her breasts heaved.
Beside her, Selene, who was initially confused, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after hearing Charlotte Linlin's words interspersed with laughter.
Seeing how easily these two could laugh, Kaido couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What are you laughing at! It's just a title used to deliberately sow discord between us, what's so funny about it!"
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin finally stopped laughing, but the lingering smile in her eyes could not be completely erased.
The woman, her eyes alluring, smiled as she looked at her young man and said, "Kaido, tonight I want to be a true dragon knight!"
Kaido snorted coldly, "Whatever makes you happy."
Selene, standing to the side, sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, knowing he was in for another misfortune.
Kaido turned his gaze away and looked down at the last wanted poster, which was also his own.
[Azure Dragon Kaido - Bounty 1.291 billion Berries! Death or life at stake!]
