Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 23 Big news!World Economic News newspaper's gimmick

The second half of the Grand Line, the "New World", the headquarters of World Economic News.

A bird wearing a top hat, with wings on its back, paced back and forth in front of the big sign.

"Isn't there any big news? Why is the world so peaceful recently? What are the Yonko doing? And those Shichibukai! Why are everyone quiet?!"

This bird is Morgans, the president of World Economic News.

Morgans is the animal-type devil fruit "Bird Fruit Albatross Form Power User". Most of the time, he is seen in this posture, and very few people have ever seen his true form.

The staff of his newspapers were all silent and could only lower their heads and flip through the information.

Morgans looked at the decline in newspaper sales and was in pain. After rolling his eyes, he made a decision immediately.

"There is no big news on the Grand Line, so look outside the Grand Line."

"President, this..." a newspaper staff hesitated, "Would anyone be willing to read news outside the Grand Line?"

"Are people willing to watch it? Is it because of the gimmick?" Morgans slapped the table, "Moreover, the calmer the place, the more big news appears, the greater the contrast, and the easier it is to attract people's attention. !”

"In that case..." Another newspaper employee searched for a while and found a piece of information. "This is the latest front page headline faxed from the Nanhai and Donghai branches. President, take a look and see if there is anything interesting."

Morgans took it and read one after another. The more he read, the more impatient he became, and the movements of his hands became more and more sharp.

The newspaper staff in the audience became even more nervous and uneasy, and they did not dare to make any eye contact with Morgans.

At this time, they suddenly heard Morgans say "Huh".

Then, Morgans sat on the chair and opened a document.

He read it for a few minutes, then put down the information and said, "You all have a look at this information."

Morgans passed the information on, and the newspaper staff took it and read it one by one, looking weird.

"The villain with the highest bounty in the East China Sea!!!"

"With the same name as the legendary 'King of Hell' in the Deep Sea, Davy Jones massacred the Captain of the Navy Branch!!!"

"The black market at sea has been destroyed, the Devil Fruit has been snatched away, and notorious pirates have gathered together. What on earth does this fishman want to do?!"

At the end of the information, three bounty orders that were recently updated are attached.

"'Iron Rod' Arrita, the bounty is 1500 million Baileys!"

"'Bucky the Clown', the bounty is 2500 million Baileys!"

"'The King of Hell' Davy Jones, with a bounty of 5000 million Baileys!"

Bucky and Arrita's bounties were increased by 1000 million Baileys, while Davy Jones's was increased by 2000 million Baileys.

This is all thanks to their evil deeds of attacking the black market in the sea a few days ago.

Although the black market on the sea is not protected by the laws of the world government, those who can participate in it have considerable power in both the black and white circles of the East China Sea.

Therefore, after listening to the report from the East China Sea Branch, the Navy Headquarters at the Grand Line raised the bounty to this amount.

However, even so, the bounty for the three of them was nothing on the Grand Line, which was why the newspaper staff had weird expressions.

There are as many pirates as there are on the Grand Line. Is there anything to report?
Morgans glanced at everyone's faces and understood what these subordinates were thinking. He couldn't help but press his hat with his wings, shook his head, and sighed.

"I understand what you are thinking." Morgans sat in his seat, crossed his slender legs and rested them on the conference table. "However, your ideas are still too superficial."

"First of all, the most noteworthy thing here is not how high Davy Jones' bounty is, but how frequently the bounty changes. You guys have seen it clearly."

The newspaper staff then flipped through the information to confirm the time when Captain Davy Jones was first offered a bounty, but they were stunned.

what?
Davy Jones was first put on a bounty, a month ago?
In just 30 days, his bounty changed twice, doubling from the original 2500 million Baileys to 5000 million Baileys!
What kind of evil speed is this?

Moreover, with "Joker" Bucky and "Iron Rod" Arrita following him, the bounty has also increased!

"So the group of employees in the East China Sea who are not enterprising..." Morgans shook his head and sighed, "In addition, this fish man has the same name as the legendary 'King of Hell' in the Deep Sea, which is also a good selling point and should not be ignored. "

The newspaper staff nodded repeatedly. Sure enough, the president was indeed a president and was extremely keen on big news.

Morgans waved his wings and commanded: "Now, collect more information about Davy Jones for me. It doesn't matter if it's true or false. Collect it first."

"Yes, President!" The newspaper staff responded in unison, with high morale.

As for Morgans, looking at the three reward notices, his beak showed a greedy and cunning smile. "I've already thought of the title of the big news, and it's called..."

"'The villain with the fastest rising bounty in the East China Sea is actually the legendary King of Hell in the Deep Sea?!'"

"'David Jones, the Hell King of the Deep Sea, wants to regain the hegemony of the sea and is preparing to declare war on the World Government and the Navy Headquarters!'"

"Hahaha……"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter. The sales volume of the last two issues of the newspaper should have rebounded to a certain extent! ——
East China Sea.

The boundary between the sky and the sea shows the white color of fish belly, and a new day is about to begin.

The Dread Ghost sailed under a gloomy sky, but this time there was neither storm nor sea fog.

Davy Jones stood next to the rudder, but did not reach out to touch it. He could control its rotation with just his thoughts.

Arrita stood on the bow of the boat, enjoying the cool sea breeze.

Originally, according to the customs of Davy Jones' world, women on ships were usually regarded as a source of bad luck.

However, in the past, Davy Jones had already been cursed, and he had even given curses to others, so he didn't care much about this aspect, let alone have any prejudice against Arrita.

In fact, after Alita surrendered, she has been the Dread Ghost's right-hand man.

At least, her loyalty is much greater than that of Bucky and Crowe.

Bucky huddled in his exclusive equipment room, making his "Bucky bombs". Four of them have been made so far.

This speed is already considered fast. After all, he had a group of pirates working for him before, but now he is the only one left.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of materials.

Crowe was on the observation deck above the ship's mast. It was his turn to be on duty today.

He was still wearing the suit, holding his glasses with his palms, looking at the sea with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for the wound on his left chest, it had been bandaged by Davy Jones.

The method of bandaging is also quite unique. Davy Jones dismantled a small part of the Terror Ghost and patched it up on Crowe's wound.

That small part quickly materialized into the shape of a shell, and at the same time, mycelium grew toward Crowe's body, firmly taking root.

Every time Crowe took a breath and every time his heart beat, he could feel the foreign body on his left chest stretching, which gave him a creepy feeling.

He was not naive enough to think that Captain Davy Jones would let down his guard against him, so he was quite wary of the shell on his chest.

Never act rashly until you are fully prepared.

This was Crowe's warning to himself.

In recent days, the Terror Ghost has been heading in one direction, except for taking detours to "fill its stomach."

That is the entrance to the Grand Line - Upside Down Mountain.

It is estimated that in more than a week, the Terror Ghost will be able to reach the huge mountain range of the Red Earth Continent.

Crow knew that as the ship got closer to the Upside Down, he was getting further away from his whitewashed retirement, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Anyone who defies Davy Jones' will will die unless he can give him something satisfactory or do something for him.

Crowe decided to endure it.

At this time, he noticed unusual traces on the sea. After picking up the telescope to confirm, he walked out of the observation deck calmly and shouted down:

"captain."

Davy Jones was unfolding the chart and looking at it. When he heard Crowe's voice, he raised his head and looked at him on the observation deck.

"what's up?"

"There was a firefight between the navy and pirates ahead. Three warships are chasing two pirate ships." Crowe put his hands on the railing, "Captain, what are you going to do?"

　Thanks to Xiang Feng'er for the reward!
　　Thank you for your votes!
