Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

Izambaron V. Nassoulang's explanation was unanimously accepted by the other five elders.

Although Reno deserves to die, the other pirates cannot be ignored.

Especially that crazy Rocks!

"You've analyzed it for so long, but nothing works. What do we do?!"

"Are we just going to let Renault continue to act so arrogantly???"

"Don't forget, even that guy Rocks has never killed a Celestial Dragon!!"

"If we let this brat live any longer, what will become of the World Government's reputation?!"

"No matter what, the Reno Pirates must be destroyed!!"

Upon hearing that there was no way to deal with Renault, the volatile Jaigollucia Satan Saint was filled with murderous intent.

"Steelbow Sky, once you get back, issue bounty notices for those three people first."

"The bounty for Flameflower is tentatively set at 400 million, and the bounty for Lingling is tentatively set at 500 million. As for Renault..."

Shepard Depp stroked his chin, somewhat hesitant.

According to Kong's report, Reno, as the captain of the pirate crew, should be a master of physical skills and Haki, and has also awakened the one-in-a-million Conqueror's Haki, but his true strength has not been shown in battle.

"One billion!!"

While he was still undecided, Izambaron V. Nasshoulang said with great decisiveness.

"One billion??"

"We still don't know his true strength. Isn't a bounty of one billion a bit too high?"

The other five elders looked at each other, their brows furrowing.

The amount of the bounty depends not only on the strength of the target but also on the degree of threat they pose to the World Government.

It's not as simple as just randomly choosing a number.

So far, they still don't know Renault's strength, yet they've set such a high bounty of one billion. Everyone thinks Izambaron V. Nassoulang's decision is somewhat hasty.

"Since we can't deal with Renault right now, let's get others to help us deal with him."

"I've heard that Rocks has been recruiting strong men as crew members all over the seas lately. John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe, among other great pirates, have already joined his ranks. Why don't we use Rocks to help us get rid of Reno?"

Meeting the questioning gazes of the group, Izambalon V. Nasshoulang explained.

"Do you think Lox would remain indifferent if he knew about Reno?"

Izambalon V. Nassoulang carefully wiped his beloved knife, the blade reflecting his cold, handsome face.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up: "That's right, the Reno Pirates have three strongmen comparable to Marine Admirals, they will definitely not submit easily."

"But it won't be so easy for Lox to devour them!"

"They'll both be severely weakened, and we'll reap the benefits!"

The five elders hit it off immediately.

"What if... I mean, what if Reno is like Wang Zhi and the others? If they join the Rocks Pirates, wouldn't they pose an even greater threat to us?"

Steelbone Kong expressed his concerns.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"Besides, this matter has become a huge scandal, and we can't hide it from them. It's only a matter of time before Locke finds out. In that case, why don't we give it a push!"

Izanbaron V. Nasshoulang sheathed his sword and said coldly.

“With Renault rising to power, Lox won’t stand idly by. Let him handle it for us.”

"That's right, we'll use Lox to get rid of Reno!!"

"Even if things take the worst-case scenario and the Reno Pirates merge into the Rocks Pirates, we can simply awaken Lord Im and then eliminate them all at once, wiping out these bastards in one fell swoop!!"

"Seconded!!"

"Seconded!!"

.....

After discussion, the Five Elders made their final decision.

Upon receiving the order, Steelbone Sky immediately returned to Naval Headquarters and issued bounty posters for Reynolds, Flameflower, and Linlin.

News of the Reno Pirates' destruction of the Romanov Kingdom and their defeat of Zephyr and Garp quickly spread throughout the New World.

As for the Celestial Dragon Roswald being killed, they certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to report it openly.

In that case, the world government would truly lose face.

As for the leak, it was only known to a small group of influential people.

Most ordinary people would never know this.

Through the Navy's deliberate manipulation, Reno and his pirate crew quickly came into the public eye.

Many pirates and underground heroes in the New World have taken notice of this remote little country called Castor.

This naturally includes Lox!

......

Hatchinos, the stronghold of Locus.

The top of the massive Skull Rock.

Captain Locke 371729 sat in the main seat.

Below are three cadres: John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe.

Each of them held a newspaper, and their expressions varied as they looked at the eye-catching headlines.

"Renault?? This brat just popped out of his body??"

"A billion Berries?! I don't even have a billion Berries!!"

John took a swig of his drink and slammed the newspaper down on the table.

He's been in the New World for so many years and has become somewhat famous, but his bounty is only 400 million Berries.

"The most outrageous thing is that the Navy has already set a price of 1 billion Berries for this guy when his strength is still uncertain? That's ridiculous."

Wang Zhi stroked his long beard, looking rather uninterested.

"Compared to Renault, whose strength is unknown, I am more interested in these two women."

"Linlin, the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with a bounty of 500 million Berries, and Flame Flower, the user of the Soul-Soul Fruit with a bounty of 400 million Berries."

"Boss, these two are pretty strong. Are you interested?"

Wang Zhi shifted his gaze to Lockes, who had not uttered a word.

"Didn't the boss have his eye on Whitebeard and Golden Lion?"

"Moreover, we should only believe half of what the Navy reports."

Silver Axe shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Even Garp and Zeff were defeated by them??"

Hidden in the shadows, Lox murmured to himself, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

As soon as he began to speak, all the other cadres fell silent.

Although they did not join the Rocks Pirates by choice, and their relationship was based solely on mutual benefit with no sense of cohesion, they did not join the crew of the Rocks Pirates.

But as long as Rocks exists, they must obey him absolutely.

"I never imagined there would be such a group of brats in the New World. I guess I'm a bit ignorant!"

Rocks slowly rose and stepped into the sunlight.

"Although Garp and Zephyr are not worth mentioning, these kids are not bad since they were able to defeat them."

"Boss, are you deciding to recruit these kids?"

John understood the implied meaning.

"That's right. The Rocks Pirates must grow stronger and recruit powerful crew members. Only in this way can I defeat the World Government in one fell swoop."

"However, news has just come that Whitebeard's whereabouts have been discovered, and he and Shiki are my primary targets."

"I need to recruit Whitebeard into my pirate crew first."

"As for those brats like Renault..." Lox stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

"Silver Axe's words are not without reason; the Navy's reports cannot be entirely trusted."

"Wang Zhi, go to the Kingdom of Castor and recruit this brat for me."

Caught off guard, Wang Zhi hesitated and said, "Boss, what if those kids refuse?"

boom-

As he finished speaking, an incredibly violent burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Rocks 030's body like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing the entire Hatchinos.

"Boss...!"

The immense pressure they felt made many cadres look pale, and they even slowly bent over.

"reject?!!"

Rocks grinned maliciously, "If they dare to refuse, their deaths will be imminent once I bring Whitebeard and Golden Lion under my command!"

"No one has ever dared to refuse me, Lox, understand?"

Seemingly as a form of intimidation, the cadres, led by John, nodded vigorously, and only then did the terrifying pressure dissipate.

"call-"

With the pressure gone, everyone breathed heavily.

His eyes were filled with apprehension as he looked at Lox.

They were considered great pirates in the New World, but they didn't dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts in front of Rocks.

"Boss, I'll get right on it!!"

Wang Zhi grabbed the giant sword beside him and hurriedly left.

.......

......

An unnamed island in the new world.

A pirate ship was quietly moored on the shore.

In the center of the island, the pirates are having a grand feast.

"Hahahaha... Rayleigh, your grilling skills are getting better and better."

Roger wolfed down the roasted meat, his mouth greasy.

"Captain, slow down, there's still plenty left, no one's going to take it from you."

Jabba, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly as he looked at Roger, who had completely lost his composure.

Who would have thought that Roger would be like this in private?

"Sambel, what are you standing there for?! Come and eat some barbecue!"

Reilly glanced at Sambel, who had been reading the newspaper for a long time, and urged him on.

"No, Captain and everyone, come quick! It seems like a few more formidable brats have appeared in the New World."

"Hahahaha... Impressive, just how impressive can it be??"

"Are they even more powerful than us?"

"That's right, come over here quickly..."

"They defeated Garp and Zeff!"

.........

The crowd, which had been making a racket just moments before, fell silent upon hearing this.
