Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

So he confessed to Tiger and the others that Spandam was targeting him and revealed where he had hidden the blueprints for "Pluto".

When everyone heard that Tom had hidden the blueprints for "Pluto" inside the engine of "Rocketman's" train, they were all dumbfounded. Franky and Iceberg looked at each other, not knowing how to explain it to their mentor.

"What! You guys stormed onto Enies Lobby in Rocket Man and left Rocket Man on the island!"

Upon hearing what Iceberg said, Tom froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

He did so much, even risking his life, all to get 'Pluton' into the hands of the World Government. But Franky and his crew just delivered what they risked their lives to protect to their doorstep!

Tom knew very well how terrifying "Pluto" was; if the World Government were to obtain it, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

Even when they heard that the terrifying ancient weapon "Pluto" had fallen into the hands of the World Government, Tiger and the others looked worried.

Currently, the group that has offended the World Government the most, besides Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, is undoubtedly the Sun Pirates.

The World Government has obtained such a dangerous weapon, and the Fish-Men are equally unwilling to see it happen. So they are even hesitating whether to venture into Mary Geoise again and destroy this so-called Pluto blueprint!

"If the blueprints for 'Pluto' are hidden inside Rocket Man, then there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

Before I left, the World Government's forces launched a Buster Call on Enies Lobby. Now, there's not a single intact rock left, let alone Rocket Man.

Although Rocketman was blown to smithereens, Wood had already retrieved the Pluto blueprints hidden inside. But will he tell anyone about it?

Obviously not; everyone understands the principle of making a fortune quietly.

"This is a good result. Although we have lost the wisdom of our ancestors, it is good that such dangerous things do not reappear in the world."

Upon hearing that the "Pluto" design might have been destroyed along with Enies Lobby, Tom's expression turned somewhat melancholic, but he quickly recovered.

Although the wisdom of our ancestors is gone, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the World Government, everything is fine.

Tiger and Jinbe were alright, but the other fishmen, including Arlong, couldn't help but feel a little regretful when they heard that the design for 'Pluto' was gone just like that.

After all, they had saved Tom's life this time, and they were also compatriots. If Boss Tiger asked Tom for the blueprints, Tom couldn't possibly refuse.

With ancient weapons, the fish-men would have a greater chance of defeating humans, and would be one step closer to realizing their dream of living on land.

As everyone was filled with mixed emotions because of the loss of the "Pluto" technique, a fishman suddenly appeared in front of them, carrying a newspaper and a stack of bounty posters.

With such a major event occurring on Enies Lobby, one of the three major agencies of the world government and the place where criminals of the world are tried, Morgans, the president of the news agency, would naturally not let it go.

Fisher Tiger, the merfolk hero who, after wreaking havoc in Mary Geoise, once again attacks Enies Lobby for the sake of his people.

The name of the "Sun Pirates" has once again become famous throughout the seas. Not only Tiger, but also all the executives, including Jinbe and Arlong, have had their bounties almost doubled this time.

Besides the Sun Pirates, there is another pirate crew that has appeared in the public eye for the first time this time. That is the Nirvana Pirates, who are considered to be hitching a ride.

Because of their mediocre performance, the bounties on Ruth and the others were only symbolically increased.

However, when everyone flipped to the last page of the bounty poster and saw the face on it that looked exactly like their captain's, and then looked at the bounty amount below, they were all shocked.

So surprised were they that Ruth and the others carefully checked it several times.

But no matter how many times they looked at it, not a single zero was missing!

But this is completely illogical. The World Government hates Tiger the most, and he is once again considered the mastermind.

But why is their captain's bounty so much higher than Tiger's?

Chapter 192 Wood's skyrocketing bounty!

"Wood, a traitor to the Navy, released prisoners from Impel Down, brutally murdered a Navy branch captain, and was one of the main culprits in the destruction of Enies Lobby."

This person is extremely dangerous; anyone who arrests him is entitled to a bounty of one billion Berries, regardless of life or death!

That's right, it's one billion Berries! Russ was so shocked that he checked it several times, but no matter how he counted, his captain's bounty was always in the tens of digits!

Despite being identified as the mastermind, Fisher Tiger's bounty was only increased from 350 million Berries to 500 million Berries.

Their captain's salary jumped from 120 million Berries to 1 billion Berries, double that of Tiger.

Not only were Ruth and his men surprised, but even Wood himself was dumbfounded when he saw the bounty poster.

He even thought that the Navy's bounty poster must have been printed incorrectly, but no matter how many times he looked at it, the person on the bounty poster was so handsome that it was basically him.

Wood then thought of a second possibility: that his own identity as "Fishman Sword Saint Yasuo" had been exposed. If that were the case, the two possibilities combined would indeed allow him to reach that bounty amount.

However, very few people know about this disguise. Gion is one, Tiger is another, and others, including Sengoku, are only suspected. It's unlikely that they would give themselves away.

Tiger looked at Wood's bounty poster and quickly realized this possibility as well, but he shook his head at Wood, indicating that he had never revealed Wood's identity to anyone else, including his most trusted Jinbe and Arlong.

Completely bewildered, Wood eventually made up an excuse to leave alone, and then, avoiding everyone's sight, took out his personal Den Den Mushi to contact Sengoku.

After the events at Enies Lobby, Sengoku had tried to contact Wood several times.

However, Wood had overdosed himself with the drug, which caused him to remain in a coma, making it impossible for Sengoku to contact him.

Since Den Den Mushi (snail phone devices) don't have a sophisticated voicemail function, Sengoku was constantly worried about Wood's situation.

Fortunately, Gion had Wood's life paper, and because the paper was intact, they were able to confirm that Wood's current situation was safe.

Gion returned to headquarters and reported the situation to Sengoku, who was quite satisfied with how Gion and Wood had handled it.

Not only did they make Spandam take the blame for his father, completely extricating the Navy from the situation, but they also perfectly completed their mission.

If Wood can get the "Pluto" blueprints from Tom, then this mission will almost certainly be a perfect 100.

"So, Tom hid the blueprints in the sea train, and you guys used that thing to rescue people, and in the end, the blueprints and the sea train were all destroyed in the shelling?"

Upon hearing Wood's report, Sengoku, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

I don't mean to blame Wood and Gion for dealing with him, I just feel it's a great pity.

"I'm sorry, Marshal Sengoku, we have done our best."

"I can't blame you for this. Compared to that old man Garp, whose brain is only muscles, you've done better than I expected."

After all, no one expected Tom to hide the blueprints in such a place.

At least the World Government didn't get the blueprints for "Pluto" this time, so your mission is half complete.

Sengoku didn't try to comfort Wood; instead, he and Tsuru agreed that even if they had taken charge themselves, they couldn't have done a better job than Wood and Gion.

Compared to the Spandam father and son, who lost everything, at least their navy gained an extra admiral position this time.

"By the way, Marshal Sengoku, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you about. What's the deal with my bounty poster?"

Since you have no complaints about this mission, why are you targeting me like this, raising my bounty from 120 million Berries to 1 billion Berries?

"I'm planning to enter the New World soon, and going there with a bounty like this would just get me killed by those veteran pirates!"

Having the strength and fame to carry a high bounty is not a problem, but the key point is that Wood has only been a pirate for a short time.

After about a year as a pirate, he had already raised his bounty to one billion. Such a rookie, in the eyes of other pirates, would be targeted if he entered a place like the New World.

What are the ways for pirates to become famous? They either cause trouble for the Navy or the World Government, or they kill other great pirates to make a name for themselves.

A pirate with a bounty of one billion Berries is considered an extremely outstanding individual, even in the New World.

Besides, in the eyes of other pirates, Wood was probably just a lucky guy who got into big incidents everywhere he went.

Without much thought, Wood knew that in his current state, if he went to the New World, he would definitely be targeted. There would probably be quite a few people who wanted to climb over his billion-dollar head to get ahead!

"Raising your bounty to one billion Berries was not just the Navy's idea; the World Government also played a significant role."

He fought valiantly against naval heroes and survived, slaying three CP0 agents with a single strike. If the bounty is set too low, both naval heroes and the World Government's strongest intelligence agency will lose their deterrent power. Therefore…”

"So they raised my bounty to one billion Berries and sent me to the New World to become a great pirate."

This is outrageous! Being a pirate supernova is bad enough, but this is practically trying to kill me!

A pirate supernova with a bounty of over 100 million might be considered a figure in the first half of the Grand Line, but in the eyes of the truly powerful figures in the New World, he's nothing special.

However, a bounty of one billion Berries is different. Pirates who can reach this level are usually those whom the Navy can't do anything about, or who dare not mess with.

Pirates who can now command this level of wealth are either from the same era as the Pirate King Roger or are world-class criminals.

"I heard from that old bastard Garp that with your current strength, even if you enter the New World, there shouldn't be many guys who can threaten you, right?"

The pirates of the New World are the real headaches for the Navy. I originally thought it would take several more years to reach that stage.

But since you possess this level of strength, entering the ranks of the strongest pirates ahead of time is quite a good thing.

In fact, Sengoku was absolutely incredulous when he heard Gion and Garp describe Wood's fighting strength.

He had overestimated Wood's talent and ability as much as possible, but what he couldn't believe was that Wood had grown to this level.

If Garp and Gion hadn't lied about Wood's strength, Sengoku could basically conclude that Wood's overall strength was now stronger than that of Akainu and the other two candidate admirals!

Chapter 193 Wood Becomes a Great Pirate

The strength of Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji largely stems from the abilities of their Devil Fruits.

However, Wood's strength comes more from his martial arts and swordsmanship.

According to Garp's report, Sengoku speculated that the light that emanated from Wood's chest during the battle was due to Wood consuming some kind of Devil Fruit.

The specific abilities of the fruit are unknown, but it is currently confirmed that this fruit can greatly enhance Wood's physical abilities.

The current candidates for the three admirals are all Devil Fruit users, and they are particularly troublesome Logia-type users.

Wood's "Armament Haki" level is only at a beginner level, so it might not be easy for him to hurt Akainu, who can transform into an element.

However, given Wood's ability to fight Garp to a standstill, it's unlikely that defeating Wood will be an easy task for the three vice admirals.
