Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 356: Forces Enough to Collapse the Bounty System
The Grand Line, the New World, on a certain island where the "Red Haired Pirates" flag has been planted, the climate is sweltering and there are few people on the spacious streets.

The few locals who occasionally walked out would look at a group of rugged men sitting on the ground. They recognized this group of people, and they were the "patron saints" of the island where they were located.

Among this group of people, the leader is naturally "Red Hair" Shanks.

"I killed Charlotte Lingling at the beginning of the year, Doflamingo and Teach in the middle of the year, and Kaido at the end of the year. What a terrible guy..."

When Shanks mentioned "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach, he couldn't help but stretch out his unbroken right hand and stroke the old scar on the eyelid of his left face.

"People who could leave me with wounds all died one after another." He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Ben Beckman leaned against the gray wall, looked at the captain squatting in the narrow alley to enjoy the cool air, and took the lit cigarette away from his mouth.

"The most important thing is that all your calculations have been disrupted by 'that person'."

"Who would have thought that he could actually do such an incredible thing in two or three years? Even if Captain Roger is alive... you are not willing to mention his name directly?"

"It's always a good thing to be cautious."

"I heard that some strange rumors have been released, what do you think?" Shanks raised his head and looked at his right-hand man, who seemed not to be depressed at all because the plan was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Their size is so huge that they cannot be covered up by the 'pirate' skin." Ben Beckman curled his lips and said, "A very smart choice, not to daydream."

"He's so awake, but it's giving us a headache." Shanks looked at the red-haired pirate members who were resting under the shade of trees and in the shadow of the corridor.

Beckman nodded in agreement, and the rising cigarette smoke also trembled and trembled intermittently.

"We can no longer compete with them head-on, so we have to unite some helpers...such as Wang Zhi and the 'New and Old Shichibukai'."

"captain!"

Someone shouted, and they turned around to see a figure emerging from the corner. It was Rockstar, the newcomer in the pirate group.

He was tall and fierce, but his character was not calm enough. At this time, he rushed over with a pile of paper in his hand, panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead in front of the two of them.

"Captain...Vice Captain...the reward order...is the reward order..."

"Our reward order? We haven't done anything 'earth-shattering' recently, so why don't we bother the men at the Navy Headquarters to pay attention to us?" Shanks couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"No, the captain... is... the 'Deep Sea'... the pirate group of 'that person'..."

"Ah...yeah, we got it. Let's take a rest and drink some water." Shanks said while suppressing his smile.

Rockstar handed the bounty order to Shanks and actually went to drink water obediently. His obedience was in stark contrast to his own appearance.

"With the title of defeating the Beast Pirates and establishing the Deep Sea Empire, the bounty must be... Sure enough, just by making a casual estimate, the total amount of the bounty they are offering is terrifyingly high."

Ben Beckman glanced at it and said, "Fortunately, the total amount of heavenly gold collected by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government every year is much higher, which is enough to buy the lives of their group of people."

"How can there be such a comparison? That's gold in the sky." Shanks smiled.

He actually felt a little uncomfortable, because he also had the blood of the Celestial Dragons flowing in his body, and he could not strip away this blood. He was also ashamed of the various evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons.

"By the way, how much is Rockstar's bounty?" Shanks suddenly asked.

"It used to be 9400 million Baileys, but recently it increased to 9600 million. He was still bragging to us."

"Oh." Shanks licked his lips, "If Rockstar were in the Deep Sea Empire, he would be at the bottom of the list and not even as good as the sea beasts. Look..."

"'Manatee' moo, 1 million Baileys."

"'Kraken' Kraken, 2 million beli."

"Hahaha, the bounty of three Rockstars is higher than the bounty of one Kulaken."

Beckman flipped through several bounty orders with his eyes lowered and said, "At least he has a higher bounty than these people."

"Indeed." Shanks glanced at them and raised his eyebrows, "But they are all newcomers who have just joined the Deep Sea Empire."

"'Flower Knight' Hyōgoro, 2100 million Baileys."

"'Little Tuanzi' black charcoal jade, 3300 million Baileys."

"'Shutenmaru' Ashura Doji, 5600 million beli."

"'Pudding' Charlotte Breen, 6200 million Baileys."

"They are the ones with the lowest bounty in this pile of reward orders."

"This group of people should have been recruited in Wano Country, right? I haven't heard of Kurotama. Hyogoro and Ashura Doji seem a bit familiar. Uncle Oden seems to have mentioned them."

"The only famous person here is Brynn. Her name has always been in the newspapers. People who don't know the inside story really think that she will marry Kaido's 'son' Yamato."

Beckman held a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and kept flipping through the reward orders. His photographic memory allowed him to quickly notice the anomaly in this thick stack of reward orders.

"When the news was released that the Deep Sea Empire was about to be established, they stole the limelight, and the bounties were also increased. However, some of them were promoted much higher than others."

"For example, this 'Violet' Violet is said to be one of the core figures in destroying the CP spies who infiltrated the Deep Sea Empire. The bounty has suddenly increased from 2 million Baileys to 2900 million Baileys."

"There is also this 'Twin Gun' Izo. Because he played an important role in the War of Wano Country, the bounty has also increased from 6 million beli to 1000 million beli."

"Izo... I really miss the name." Shanks pursed his lips, "Back when our Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates often fought, we fought against Izo. He is indeed a Excellent fighter."

Beckman let out a dull sigh and continued:
"There are so many talents under the Deep Sea Empire. Even the former captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, most of them can only be Paradox Generals and Cursed Knights. Only two of them are among the commanders of Omen."

"This 'Doll' Michita seems to have followed Marco and defeated Jhin's air force. The bounty has been increased by 2 million to 9 million Baileys."

"I remember that she used to be just a 'leftover' member of the Baroque Works Company founded by Crocodile. I never thought that she would have such a day."

"The same goes for 'Man-Eater' Bartolomeo. A year ago he was just a 'Supernova' kid with more than 1 million Baileys, but now he has jumped to 9 million Baileys..."

"It's like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, right?" Shanks smiled, not showing any displeasure at all. "Beckman, are you envious? After joining the Deep Sea Empire, you can increase the bounty at such a speed. .”

"Shanks, don't make such nasty jokes, I'm not the same person as them." Beckman responded briefly.

"We were not friends in the past, but we can come together because of the same goal." Shanks flicked one of the bounty orders, "Kaido's daughter, 'Onihime' Yamato, the first bounty is 10 billion 1100 million Baileys..." "I don't understand this Yamato." Beckman said bluntly, "Maybe Kaido can't handle family relations, just like Jesus Bu."

"Haha, I will definitely tell Jesus what you said later. But also, his own daughter doesn't turn to him, which shows how cruel Kaido's actions are in the country of Wano. Yamato is a conscientious person. "

Beckman shrugged his shoulders and didn't care about Shanks' threat: "In this bounty update, General Paradox, Cursed Knight, and Netherworld Bad Beast are the most prominent ones."

"Then there is Commander Bad Omen. I heard that they have added three new commanders and expanded their army." Shanks clicked his tongue, "A decent empire is different from half-baked ones like us."

"There is no other way. We are pirates after all, and we don't want to fight against the behemoth of the World Government now. We still have to leave some room for maneuver."

Beckman glanced at Shanks sideways, shook his head, sighed, and read the contents of the reward order.

"The new ominous commander, 'Magician' Hawkins, has a bounty of 16 billion Baileys."

"The new ominous commander, 'Qianliangdao' Bucky, has a bounty of 17 billion Baileys."

"The new ominous commander, 'Trickster' Crowe, has a bounty of 19 billion Baileys."

"Bucky..." Shanks deliberately picked up Bucky's reward ticket and carefully looked at the domineering clown face with an exaggerated smile on it.

"It took you less than two years to reach this height... Sure enough, we will meet again at a high place. It's a pity that our paths are completely different."

"What's more, where is the remaining bounty for Commander Bad Omen?"

"Wait a moment." Beckman started flipping.

"The remaining commanders of Bad Omen, listed in ascending order of bounty, are -"

"'Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Law, with a bounty of 25 billion Baileys."

"The 'White Hat Lady' Arrita has a bounty of 25 billion Baileys."

"'Qing Pheasant' Kuzan has a bounty of 27 billion beli."

"Marco 'Phoenix' has a bounty of 32 billion Baileys."

"'Fire Fist' Ace has a bounty of 33 billion Baileys."

"'Kai Xia' Jinbei has a bounty of 34 billion Baileys."

"'Sand Crocodile' Crocodile, with a bounty of 36 billion Baileys."

"The bounties on these people are really horribly high." Shanks said, "In the past, the great pirate forces with a bounty of over 20 billion could basically compete with the 'Old Four Emperors', but now... …”

"Beckman, look, our two major forces alone are enough to completely collapse the bounty system."

Shanks' words are not groundless. The Deep Sea Empire has eight big figures with bounties exceeding 20 billion, and the Red Haired Pirates are no less generous.

In addition to being "the most balanced Iron Wall Pirates", the Red Haired Pirates also have another characteristic that is well-known to the world.

That's why bounty averages are unusually high.

Shanks' bounty is 40 million Baileys, and the bounties of other members of the Red-Haired Pirates must also be very high to be worthy of this feature.

Indeed, the collective bounty order of the Deep Sea Empire and the Red-haired Pirates is enough to crush most of the people or groups on which the bounty is placed, dragging the bounty system into a completely unfamiliar realm.

This sea seems to have become an extremely polarized world.

Beckman didn't think so much. He just took the cigarette out of his mouth, threw the stack of reward orders on the floor tiles, and lit them all.

Watching the flames burning and the smoke rising, he asked the last question: "According to the order, the next target of 'that person' will be us, right?"

"His power has grown to such an extent that he will not stop the war." Shanks replied, "However, we should still have about half a year to a year. It is a bit dangerous for us. But it should be barely enough.”

There were several months between the destruction of the Big Mom Pirates and the destruction of the Beasts Pirates. Shanks made his guess based on this.

He looked down and looked at the most eye-catching and intimidating one among the stack of reward orders, still giving off a chill in the flames.

"'King of the Deep' Davy Jones, with a bounty of 56 billion Baileys."

His bounty has exceeded Captain Roger's 55 billion Baileys... This means that the World Government and the Navy have once again raised his danger, making him the No. 6480 in modern times!
Shanks knew that he shouldn't compare like this, because this was the bounty that Captain Roger paid before he surrendered.

If you include his "bad consequences" for starting the great pirate era, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this bounty.

But Shanks still couldn't help it. He knew very well that in his heart he could not accept it as calmly or even happily as he appeared on the surface.

Think about "that person" you first met during the war, and then think about "that person" now. He has completed an almost magnificent transformation.

In another year, would he really... No, that man would not surpass Captain Roger, not ever.

Shanks thought like this, but his brows were furrowed tightly and he could not relax.
-
Somewhere on the great route.

A burst of yellow sand rose in the distance, and giant beasts appeared one after another in the hazy field of vision. They had the trunks and torsos of elephants, but they ran as fast as horses.

The leader of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Long, was wrapped in an old green robe, blocking the oncoming wind and sand and the scorching sun.

He talked for a long time on the back of the swaying elephant beast, talking to people thousands of miles away.

pat.

Long finally hung up the phone and took the small phone bug back into his arms. Half of his face with red tattoos was submerged in the shadow of the hood, silent and his eyes were obscure.

"What's the matter, dragon?" asked Ambrio Ivankov, commander of the Grand Line Army, who was sitting on another elephant beast with his big face holding his hood like an open umbrella. "Bad news?"

The hairstyle and fur coat are all white on one side and orange on the other. Ivankov's deputy captain, Lightning, is also riding an elephant beast.

He was a few steps behind and looked around warily.

"It should be considered good news." Long replied, "'That man' has spread the news and will hold a grand ceremony next month to integrate his forces into the 'Deep Sea Empire'."
