Chapter 317 The World is Shocked! The New Fifth Emperor! (Third Update)
The Whitebeard Pirates crew members gathered around the bounty poster, chattering excitedly.

"How is this possible? How could a pirate with such a high bounty suddenly appear?"

"Yes, we've never heard of this person before!"

"Him? It's that Yu the Twins from before! He took down two Shichibukai, Gecko Moria and Crocodile, as soon as he set sail!" The crew members' discussions rose and fell.

Whitebeard's eyes widened. "I remember now, there was such a kid."

Ace suddenly ran over, and when he saw the face on the wanted poster, he was completely dumbfounded!
He couldn't reconcile the number 4.5 billion with Fang Yu's face!
This is too exaggerated!
Ace swallowed hard and said, "Dad, I know him. I met him once in the Sabaody Archipelago. I thought he was quite strong then, but I never imagined he would be this powerful!"

Marco stood to the side, arms crossed, deep in thought: "A few days ago, strange phenomena appeared in the East China Sea. The compass spun wildly, and several areas were designated as permanent no-entry zones by the World Government. Now it seems that it might be related to this Great Buddha Temple! We must find out exactly what happened. This guy might very well change the landscape of the New World."

Whitebeard nodded, his voice deep and powerful: "Marco is right, Ace. You've had contact with him. What are your thoughts?"

Ace took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I think we should take the initiative to understand him. Since he can get such a high bounty, he must have done something that the World Government is extremely wary of."

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, a wise glint in them: "Very well! The New World hasn't seen such a big commotion in a long time. This Great Buddha might bring us new opportunities. Marco, send someone to gather information. Make sure you find out his origins and strength."

"Yes, Dad!"

Meanwhile, in another part of the sea, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin was enjoying a sumptuous meal aboard her luxurious castle ship.

Her son, Cracker, hurried into the restaurant with the latest newspaper in hand.

"Mom, look at this!" Cracker handed the newspaper to the older woman. She put down her food, took the newspaper, and was startled when she saw Fang Yu's bounty: "4.5 billion Berries?! This kid, how could the World Government take him so seriously?! What did he do?!"

Katakuri, standing next to the older woman, crossed his arms and said, "Mom, this guy challenged two Shichibukai after setting sail, and the World Government suddenly offered such a high bounty. There must be a reason behind it! Should we..."

The older woman waved her hand, interrupting Katakuri: "Let's wait and see. The more nervous the World Government is, the more useful they might be to us."

The woman, still in this state, wasn't confused. She was analyzing the situation: "He must have done something extraordinary. Or... his Devil Fruit ability is extremely rare? Never mind, have someone keep an eye on him and report any news to me immediately."

Meanwhile, in Kaido's Beasts Pirates, Kaido, holding a gourd of sake, is sitting on the throne of Onigashima, completely drunk.

Jack, holding the bounty poster, approached Kaido. "A new bounty has been issued. It's for a pirate named Daibutsu, with a bounty of 4.5 billion Berries."

Kaido abruptly raised his head, the gourd slipping from his hand and smashing to pieces on the floor. "What? 4.5 billion? Who is this guy?" Kaido's eyes gleamed with madness and defiance!

Jin stood aside and said, "To get such a high bounty, one must be quite strong. Or perhaps, like the Op-Op Fruit, the fruit's ability is very important; a person's status is determined by their fruit."

Kaido laughed heartily: "Interesting! I want to see who this Great Buddha is! Send people to investigate, I want to know everything about him! I want to meet him in person!"

He changed the subject.

"If they're weak, just take them out."

On Shanks' ship, Shanks was also filled with shock as he looked at the wanted poster in his hand.

Like the previous three Emperors, he also felt that the appearance of the "Great Buddha" would bring turmoil to this sea. "We need to hurry."

The Kingdom of Transgender People.

In the Demon Kingdom's main hall, Ivankov was performing a newly arranged death metal version of "Swan Lake" in high heels, his pink wig swinging wildly to the rhythm of death rock.

Lightning silently trimmed the statue of Ivankov.

Suddenly, the Revolutionary Army's exclusive Den Den Mushi (snail phone) went off with a "pop pop pop" sound!
"Breaking news!" The Den Den Mushi mimicked the thick lips of Western Army Commander Mori, "Supernova 'Hellwood Mayu's' bounty has soared to 45 billion Berries!"

Click!

Lightning's scissor-like hand went out of control and severed Ivankov's statue. Ivankov slammed on the brakes, his ten-centimeter heels creaking and twisting into a pretzel: "What?! That little potato from Crimson Hell?! Hip-hop!!!"

Ivankov's eyes popped out of their sockets, his jaw snapped off and slumped to his chest, and he grabbed Lightning's shoulders and shook him wildly: "Little Fangfang! The lovestruck boy who's going to the Holy Land Mary Geoise to save his childhood sweetheart! Hee-ha!!!"

Lightning's poker face remained impassive: "What...what did he do?"

An eerie silence fell over the entire Kamabakka Palace. The transgender people who were pole dancing were frozen in place, their wigs falling to the ground with a clatter.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ivankov's jaw suddenly snapped back into place, and he spiraled upwards in his broken high heel. "How could he possibly have a Yonko-level bounty! No! Oh no! He'll definitely be targeted by many bounty hunters and pirates!"

"Let me remind you—" Lightning said after a moment of silence, "That kid is growing much faster than you think. He's already a Shichibukai. Maybe he really can take down an Admiral."

Ivankov's head suddenly swelled to three times its normal size. "You mean! Impossible! He killed a general!? My God! Haha~!"

As the bounty notice dropped by the newsbird drifted into the transvestite kingdom, the entire kingdom suddenly erupted in deafening screams.

The transvestites began dancing in celebration, and Ivankov, her tattered high heels clicking on the floor, leaped onto the throne, pointing her fingernails at the sky: "Have a party! Bring out my entire wine collection! Tonight's theme is—"

All the transvestites blinked instantly, staring at the transvestite king.

"Impatiens Prison Uniform Cosplay Party! Hip Hop!!!"

Lightning silently poured herself a glass of aged wine, gazing at the sky and murmuring to herself, "Perhaps... he really can shake the Grand Line."

In the chat group, Fang Yu and others had already exchanged thousands of messages.

Stephen Fang: "Dude! You've really stirred up some big news this time!"

Pirate Fang Yu: "I don't think so. I feel that the World Government won't let this go. As long as I show my face, it will definitely be an unreasonable 'nuclear strike'. Now there's another problem. I've been sailing for so long, and I've been brought back to the starting point. My ship is gone. When will I be able to find Sky Island? If I eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and fuse it with the True Several Thousand Hands, and create a Lightning Wood Release Buddha, wouldn't that be world-destroying?"

Uchiha U: "Update quickly, I can't sleep tonight!"
