One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 250 The Billion-Dollar Royal Group, Godslayer Xia Nuo!
Did they suppress Zephyr-sensei?

The lieutenant general was taken aback. To possess such strength meant…

"continue!"

Sengoku's expression grew increasingly grim. He said no more and turned to Brannew, giving him an order.

"Yes, everyone. I will introduce these people to you in order of their bounties, from lowest to highest."

Brannew's expression was solemn as he pointed to the first wanted poster.

He was a man who clearly had fish-man blood, was exceptionally burly, and had a rather fierce appearance.

"Jack the Rumbling, one of the original 'Three Calamities'!"

"The reason for adding the word 'original' is that after the man mentioned by the Warring States Marshal appeared, the highest-ranking members of the Fallen Order had become four, and their titles naturally changed to 'The Four Calamities'!"

"This person possesses a rare Ancient Zoan ability. Although his personality is somewhat reckless, his loyalty and strength are undoubtedly among the top tier of the Fallen Ones!"

"In this Sabaody Archipelago incident, Sentomaru of the Science Operations Unit and the ten Pacifistas he brought with him were defeated in just half an hour!"

"That's a full ten! You have to understand, this is the highest achievement of the scientific force to date, capable of easily annihilating supernova-level pirates!"

"Each one cost the same as the highest-spec warships in headquarters, but in Jack's hands, they were completely overwhelmed and had almost no chance to fight back!"

Were they crushed?
Many of the high-ranking officials present looked grim.

Compared to technology, they have more faith in their physical skills and domineering presence, and they harbor some disdain for the Pacifistas, these man-made creations that cost a lot of money.

But the Pacifistas' record of crushing the Supernovas speaks for itself, leaving many less experienced lieutenant generals in awe.

Comparing the two.

This immediately made the guy named Jack seem even more terrifying...

"In conclusion, the threat level of 'The Rumbling' Jack must be reassessed. The original bounty of 770 million Berries is now officially increased to 1 billion Berries!" Brannew announced in a deep voice.

One billion Berry!

A murmur immediately broke out in the conference room.

"It's a reasonable number."

Lieutenant General Doberman, with a cigar dangling from his lips, squinted and said, "But this is only the one with the lowest bounty among the highest-ranking officers, right? The others seem to be even more formidable..."

"It's really worrying just thinking about it," Huoshaoshan said, shaking his head.

"Next person!"

The Brannew above has already pointed to the second wanted poster on the whiteboard, which features a tall man wearing a bear-eared hat.

In stark contrast to Jack's temperament, he appeared to be the kind and honest type.

"Bartholomew Kuma, 'Lightning Meteor'! One of the candidates originally nominated by the headquarters to become a Shichibukai, but unfortunately he joined the Last Ones after the Dressrosa War."

"With his formidable strength, he surpassed many elders and became the highest-ranking executive! His Paw-Paw Fruit ability has been developed to its limit, possessing many terrifying characteristics such as repelling everything and teleportation!"

"During the Sabaody Archipelago incident, he single-handedly subdued two members of the Knights of God, blasting their bodies apart a full eight hundred times! The ferocity and brutality he displayed were truly appalling, perfectly living up to his former nickname, 'Tyrant'!"

Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.

Some high-ranking naval officers who were not very familiar with Kuma secretly wondered if this seemingly honest man was actually more brutal than the fierce-looking Jack.
"I would like to remind you that the specific information about the Divine Knights is currently classified as top secret. Even within headquarters, very few people know about it. Please do not leak it."

Sengoku began by emphasizing something, then gestured for Brannew to continue.

"Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Four Calamities, originally had a bounty of 870 million Berries. After reassessment, his new bounty is set at 1.265 billion Berries!"

With Jack's groundwork laid, the bounty didn't surprise the attending executives too much.

"And then there's the leader of the Four Calamities, Kuina, the vice-captain of the Fallen Ones' headquarters!"

Brannew pointed to the third wanted poster, featuring a black-haired female swordswoman wielding a Wado Ichimonji. As she grew older, she blossomed into a beautiful and spirited woman.

But his gaze was too cold and sharp, like a sword blade, making people feel afraid to approach him.

"You are all probably familiar with this genius female swordsman. After the Dressrosa War, Vice Admiral Gion praised her swordsmanship as being no less than his own. In the recent Sabaody incident, she demonstrated great perseverance and held back our Navy's top combat power, Ms. Borsalino!"

Brannew paused here before continuing:

"Although she was suppressed by Mr. Borsalino throughout the entire process and ultimately lost, the fact that she was able to hold her own against the general for so long is enough to prove her level of threat."

"Considering her astonishing growth rate and potential, Headquarters has decided to significantly increase Kuina's bounty from 940 million Berries to 1.38 billion Berries!"

This number made many people present tense.

The most suitable counterpart to him is undoubtedly the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates, the head of the All-Stars, King the Wildfire, whose bounty was recently updated to 1.39 billion Berries.

They are almost identical and can be considered as equivalent.

But King had been with Kaido for a long time and was a well-established veteran.

And this girl is so young, having only been at sea for a little over a year.

Has their strength really reached this level?!
No wonder that man appointed her as the first mate so early on...

"The last of the Four Calamities!"

Brannew's voice suddenly rose, pointing to the last wanted poster on the whiteboard:
"This person has already been briefly introduced by Marshal Sengoku. He is a newcomer who has just joined the Fallen Ones, but without a doubt, he is also the most dangerous character among the Four Calamities. The blind swordsman, Yixiao!"

The blind swordsman in the photo is wearing a purple yukata, holding a cane and a sword, with his eyes closed and his face calm.

"Single-handedly, he blocked all reinforcements and suppressed Mr. Zefa to the point of being unable to advance an inch! I don't need to say more about who the latter is. Many of those present are Mr. Zefa's disciples and should be much more familiar with Mr. Zefa's strength than I am!"

Brannew looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"According to Mr. Zephyr's own assessment, this blind swordsman's strength has completely reached the level of an admiral! His Gravity Fruit ability is extremely well developed, and he can even control meteorites to fall from the sky!"

"What's even more worrying is that after joining the Fallen Ones, this person seems to have completely embraced Shano's ideals, holding an extremely firm stance. During the Sabaody Incident, when questioned by Mr. Zephyr, he publicly and explicitly stated his willingness to pave the way for Shano's 'sins'!"

"He is a strongman who came from the common people and has never been wanted, yet he does not pursue justice, does not serve the navy, and instead associates with thugs. He is truly despicable!"

"Therefore, this headquarters has decided to award him a bounty commensurate with his strength. 'Starfall' smiled, 'The initial bounty is set at 21 billion Berries!'"

The meeting room erupted in an uproar.

21 billion Baileys!
This already exceeds the bounty of all the highest-ranking officers of the Imperial Fleet. The next step up is the bounty of the Emperors of the Sea themselves!
It's only the first time they've issued a warrant, yet the bounty is already this high...

The last person to receive this treatment was Rocks, who caused chaos in the Holy Land and killed a civilian general, decades ago!

Exaggeration?
Of course it's an exaggeration, but this guy's strength was personally acknowledged by Professor Zephyr!

As Brannew said, many of the high-ranking officials present were disciples personally trained by Zeff, and they trusted their teacher's character implicitly. Since Teacher Zeff said that this person's strength had reached the level of an Admiral, then it must be so. To put it another way, even if he is not as strong as the three current Admirals, he must be not far off.

The curtain falls.

This pirate crew, which has only been established for a year, has not yet caught up with the other four emperors in terms of overall size.

However, in terms of the foundation of its high-ranking officers, perhaps only the Red-Haired Pirates, known as the flawless iron wall, and the most powerful Whitebeard Pirates can compare!
"quiet!"

Sengoku tapped the table, and after the commotion subsided, he signaled to Brannew to remove all the wanted posters from the whiteboard.

In the end, only one was replaced.

But this wanted poster was far more effective than the roar of the Warring States period. The huge conference room fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on the wanted poster!

in the photo.

A handsome young man with black hair, wearing a black cloak, stood in the sunlight. The katana resting on his shoulder was still dripping blood. He looked down at the person in front of him with the same disdainful gaze one would give to trash.

Everyone in the upper echelons knew perfectly well who that gaze was directed at…

Even though the photo was still, the domineering aura emanating from it still caused the generals present to instinctively break out in a cold sweat and breathe heavily...

"Judging from everyone's reactions, you can tell how important this man is now."

Brannew also wiped the cold sweat from his brow, his expression grave.
"The most dangerous being of this generation! The most vicious thug! In the recent Sabaody Archipelago incident, he publicly murdered four World Nobles and arrogantly tore up the ceasefire agreement, challenging the authority of the World Government!"

"Their crimes far exceed those of ordinary pirates, and their threat level is enough to shake our very foundation! With the personal approval of the Holy Land—"

Brannew took a deep breath, placed his hands on the table, and revealed the answer in a trembling voice:

"The world's greatest swordsman! The Godslayer Shano! His new bounty is set at 4,186 million Berries!!!"

In the silence, Brannew’s voice echoed in the room.

4.186 billion peles... This number is terrifyingly high, on an absolute scale.

But no one made a fuss, and no one questioned it.

Because it's that man!
No one thinks the bounty is too high or that the increase is too rapid...

Even though his bounty has increased by nearly a billion Berries compared to the last time, and has even surpassed that of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!

That's perfectly reasonable!

On this vast ocean, there are only three people left with a higher bounty than this man... Some high-ranking naval officers silently processed this information.

“Brandu,” Crane suddenly asked, “can you help this old woman calculate the total bounty of the Fallen Ones?”

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

Brannew paused for a moment, but reacted immediately, saluted, and quickly reported back after mentally calculating:
"Among the executives, seven remained behind, totaling 22.92 billion Berries, while four went to attack, totaling 67.45 billion Berries. Adding Shano's own, the total is 122.23 billion Berries!"

"It's still missing."

Crane, expressionless, picked up his black tea and took a sip. "According to intelligence, weren't there a few Supernovas from this year's generation who also joined the Fallen Ones? Adding them to that..."

She raised her head and said quietly, "It has already exceeded 13 billion Berries."

"..."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became even more oppressive and heavy, and many people exhaled smoke rings and fell silent.

Is it a genuine "billion-dollar royal group"?

This title is also extremely intimidating...

"A new wave has arrived, and our navy cannot stand idly by."

Sengoku stood up, his expression now calm, and said in a deep voice:
"Gentlemen, please take this rising new force seriously with the utmost attention! This gang of thugs should not be underestimated, but there is no need to worry too much!"

He has weathered far too many storms.

From Rocks to Roger, countless pirate crews have risen and fallen, ultimately perishing. Yet, the only ones still standing at the pinnacle of this world are the Marines!

Snapped!
Sengoku slammed his right hand heavily on the table, and he suddenly raised his voice, roaring with his hair and beard standing on end:

"I stake the honor of myself, Sengoku the Buddha, and the justice and glory of the Navy! Sooner or later, we will bury that dangerous monster, the Fallen One, utterly on this sea!!!"

New World, a remote town.

dong dong.

The sudden, urgent knocking on the door shattered the silence of the night.

In the dimly lit room, Morgans abruptly looked up from the mountain of press releases and alertly set his quill aside.

"Who?!"

It lowered its voice and asked.

"..."

There was no response from outside the door, only a second, more muffled knock. Morgans squinted, pulled out a pistol from under the table, and slowly pushed open the window a crack with his wing.

“It’s been a long time since we last met, Morgans.”

Under the moonlight, three figures dressed in white coats blocked the window; the one in the lead had his hands in his pockets and an indifferent expression.

"It took us a lot of effort to find your hiding place, but that's all for now. You have to come with us."

"CP-0?"

Morgans blinked in surprise. "You've come knocking on my door... perhaps because of my recently published newspaper?"

"Hey, hey, hey, at least be reasonable. I've wisely cut out and omitted those secrets related to the World Government, like the pentagram array and the immortality of the Divine Riders."

"If you were really sensible, you should have changed all the news of the deaths of the world's nobles, and you wouldn't be hiding in this rural place with a guilty conscience."

The leader of CP-0 sneered and said impatiently:
"Stop talking nonsense. This is an order personally issued by Saint Satan. He wants you to come to the Holy Land to have tea with him. You have no choice but to give him this face. Put down your weapons and cooperate obediently!"
