Kong (Steel - Bone Kong) looked at the intelligence in his hand and said helplessly.
After hearing Kong's words, Sengoku and Tsuru also silently nodded.
Indeed, this was the best way since, although the Navy Headquarters had expanded its recruitment, the newly - recruited sailors couldn't be put into use immediately as they still needed training. It's impossible to send the newly - recruited sailors into the battlefield right after they join the Navy.
Moreover, to deal with Charlotte, high - end combat power was necessary. There were only a few people at the Navy Headquarters who could capture Charlotte. It was impossible to specially send a high - ranking Navy combatant to chase Charlotte all over the world.
"How much should we set the bounty? You know, Charlotte's bounty has already reached 950 million berries. He's one of the top ones in the whole world."
Sengoku looked at Kong and asked.
Kong was also thinking with a headache.
Now, the bounty is no longer just a matter of the wanted poster; it has become a symbol of strength. Moreover, pirates often use bounties as a comparison to increase their popularity.
"Set it at one billion. Anyway, his strength definitely matches it. Just the swordsmanship of The Great Blood - Sword Hero is worth one billion."
Kong rubbed his forehead and said.
"Okay! Then I'll go and issue the wanted poster!"
Tsuru beside him said.
"Also issue the wanted poster for The Red Count. Set his bounty at 900 million berries, a bit lower than Charlotte's. This way, it'll be easier to create a rift between them."
Kong said.
Sengoku frowned.
"Will such a big increase have any bad effects?"
Sengoku said worriedly.
Kong waved his hand.
"What's the big deal? It'll just bring more pirates. There are already tons of pirates on the sea, aren't there?"
Kong said self - deprecatingly.
Since he became an Admiral, Rocks had emerged among the pirates. Rocks had turned the second half of the Grand Line upside down. The number of people going out to become pirates had skyrocketed, and they just couldn't be exterminated.
After hearing Kong's words, Sengoku fell silent.
Seeing that both of them stopped talking, Tsuru silently turned around to arrange the matter of the wanted posters.
Watching Tsuru leave, Kong already knew how big a stir this wanted poster would cause once it spread.
...
As the latest wanted poster came out, it was spread across the sea by the news - carrying seagulls.
Hive Island!
"Captain Rocks, there's news about Charlotte, the captain of the 8th Division. Captain Charlotte did something big in Water 7!"
Just as Rocks was sitting on his throne, a subordinate trotted over with today's newspaper.
"Hmm?"
Rocks took the newspaper with interest and glanced at it.
Apart from a long string of zeros, there was a bloody photo.
Shocking! The Great Blood - Sword Hero Charlotte Committed Such Crimes in Water 7!
After Massacring Over a Thousand Townspeople on the Island, Charlotte Disappears Without a Trace Under Navy Pursuit!
Rocks looked at the headlines on the newspaper and threw it down disinterestedly.
These were all small matters to him.
"Has Kurozome Kugane returned?"
Rocks looked at his subordinates below and asked.
"Not yet!"
I've urged them, but they said they were delayed by something."
The subordinate reported, with his head down.
Upon hearing what his subordinate said, Rocks frowned.
He took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed directly.
Brew Brew!
It was quickly answered as soon as the call was dialed.
"Hey! How's it going on your side, Kurozome Kugane?"
Rocks said in his deep voice.
After hearing what Rocks said, Kurozome Kugane immediately responded.
"Captain Rocks, we've found a Poneglyph. It's about the news on Uranus. And we've got an address. It's a place named God Valley. But we still need to investigate where God Valley is now!"
Rocks' face changed greatly when he heard the words "Uranus" and "God Valley", but his tone remained calm.
"Okay! I got it. You should investigate it clearly as soon as possible."
"Yes, Captain Rocks!"
Kurozome Kugane said cautiously.
Then she hung up the phone.
"Sister! Can what you just said really deceive Rocks?"
Kurozome Semaru looked at his sister and said cautiously.
"Idiot! That's not deception. I'm just leading him to choose! Besides, I wasn't wrong just now. You've seen the Poneglyph in our family. It clearly mentions Uranus and God Valley. And that God Valley only opens once every forty years. It'll be next year before it opens again."
Kurozome Kugane said.
"Then why didn't you tell Rocks that God Valley will open next year?"
Kurozome Semaru asked puzzledly.
"Idiot! If I tell him now, won't our value in being useful be gone? The reason why we can become the captains of the Seventh Division is because the two of us are useful. If we lose our value in being useful, can we survive in the Rocks Pirates?
Don't forget, Charlotte almost killed you back then. If Rocks hadn't stopped her, you would have gone to see Amaterasu Omikami long ago."
Kurozome Kugane said with a look of hatred for iron that couldn't turn into steel.
As the Kurozome clan, who was exiled from Wano Country, they dreamed of returning to Wano Country.
Now they were using Rocks' power to help them regain Wano Country.
"By the way, is there any news about that Devil Fruit?"
Kurozome Kugane looked at her younger brother and asked.
"Not yet! I suspect it's in Rocks' possession. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found no news after investigating for so long. And according to the last person who saw it, Rocks was on that island back then. So I suspect that Devil Fruit was collected by Rocks."
As soon as Kurozome Semaru heard his sister mention the Devil Fruit, he immediately perked up.
Because that Devil Fruit was a symbol of Wano Country.
If they got that fruit, their Kurozome family could return to Wano Country again.
"Okay! Keep a close eye on the news about that Devil Fruit. Inform me immediately as soon as there's any news."
Kurozome Kugane looked at her younger brother and said uneasily.
"Okay!"
Seeing Kurozome Semaru nodding, Kurozome Kugane felt relieved.
...
On the sea!
A merchant ship was sailing across the sea.
This is truly the ship that Charlotte is taking.
Paul stared at the sea boredly.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw a newspaper - selling seagull overhead.
"Come here quickly! I want to buy a newspaper!" Paul shouted at the low - flying newspaper - selling seagull.
When the seagull heard the sound, it quickly lowered its head and saw someone waving at it.
This made its eyes light up instantly. Business was coming.
"Kakukaku!"
The seagull flew above Paul!
Paul got the hint and threw fifty berries over.
When the seagull saw this, it also dropped a stack of newspapers.
Paul quickly caught them and couldn't wait to open them and have a look.
People around also gathered around Paul one by one.
In this boundless sea, there were no amusement facilities, which made them very bored during the voyage.
