"Is this all the information?"
After Aokiji and the others returned, Sengoku got a headache.
"Where's Garp?"
"Vice Admiral Garp went to the East Blue. I heard his grandson appeared, so…"
"That guy!"
Sengoku was speechless at the thought of Garp's grandson going out to be a pirate.
He couldn't very well send people to arrest Luffy and the others to question them about Shaya, as these people hadn't even been given bounties yet and weren't considered pirates.
"Sigh…"
Sengoku frowned. How could the Marine's massive operation be hidden from everyone?
He believed many forces were watching, but after all this effort, besides knowing the names of Shaya and a few others, they knew nothing about their strength, abilities, or affiliations.
"Borsalino, it's rare for him to be so serious."
Mentioning Kizaru, Sengoku's tone was appreciative. Daring to delve deep into enemy territory to investigate information, he would get a raise when he returned!
"Fleet Admiral, how should we deal with Shaya and them?"
Aokiji also became serious. He had a feeling that Shaya and the others were definitely a great enemy of the World Government, especially since this involved Red Hair.
Kizaru investigating enemy territory was understandable, but why had Red Hair's entire pirate crew disappeared? Did they all enter the giant gate?
But that didn't make sense. If they all entered the giant gate, where would Kizaru go to investigate? If he also went in, he would definitely be besieged. Aokiji couldn't figure out the reason at all.
"Deal with them? We don't even know where they are, how can we deal with them?"
Sengoku frowned, then said, "Issue bounties. Since Hawkeye surrendered to others and fought Kizaru, he has betrayed the World Government and must also have a bounty!"
"We must make the whole world notice them so that they will be exposed."
This feeling of the enemy being hidden and us being exposed was very bad; Sengoku was very displeased!
Bounties must be issued, and you must make headlines!
"How much should the bounties be?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru asked curiously. The new force had Hawkeye, and even stronger individuals than Hawkeye, plus Crocodile. Other details were unknown, but their overall strength was definitely not weaker than a Four Emperors crew.
"Captain Shaya of the Moon Pirates: 3.6 billion Beli!"
"Crewmate Hawkeye of the Moon Pirates: 2.5 billion Beli!"
"…Anas bounty: 1.2 billion Beli!"
"…Crocodile bounty: 500 million Beli!"
Everyone was astonished. Hawkeye and Crocodile were fine, but Shaya's first bounty directly rivaled the Four Emperors. What a huge stir this would cause!
Presumably, as soon as they appeared, it would cause chaos, which would also make it easier for the Marine to gather information.
"Oh, and give Shaya a nickname!"
Sengoku thought for a moment, his gaze sharpening, and said coldly, "To make Hawkeye surrender, this person is definitely a great enemy. The World Government will absolutely not allow new forces to exist, so his title will be…"
"World's Strongest!"
In an instant, Tokikake jumped up and objected, "Fleet Admiral, I disagree! This person is just a pretty boy, what right does he have to be called the World's Strongest?!"
"He must have used schemes and tricks to force Hawkeye to surrender. It's hard to say if he can even beat me."
Tokikake was very displeased with Shaya because he noticed that Momousagi was particularly interested in Shaya.
Damn it, is being handsome a big deal? Is having good temperament a big deal? Is being strong a big deal?
He, Tokikake, refused to accept it!
"Vice Admiral Gion, I think your perspective is too narrow!"
Momousagi gave Tokikake a flat look, gently smoothed her hair, and calmly said, "The title given by the Fleet Admiral is excellent. Firstly, this will weaken Whitebeard's influence and even cause more people to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates, tying them down."
"Secondly, pirates are a lawless bunch. Once this title is out, Whitebeard's sons will definitely be unhappy, and other strong individuals will also be unhappy."
"That strongest creature will also search everywhere to fight Shaya. Regardless of life or death, it will make it easier for us to gather information about him."
Everyone nodded, giving the Fleet Admiral a thumbs up.
Just one title created countless enemies for Shaya. The Fleet Admiral is brilliant!
Feeling everyone's admiration, Sengoku spoke contentedly, "Alright, that's settled. Arrange it. Anyone who sees Shaya and the others, report immediately!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
...The next day, driven by the Marine and the World Government, almost all newspapers printed news and sent out a massive number of papers to the entire world.
The Four Seas, the Grand Line, and even some Sky Islands received newspapers, and... the extremely low price sparked everyone's curiosity.
It was imperative to make the entire world notice Xayah's Crew and expose them.
New World!
On the Moby Dick, all the pirates were idly bragging, chatting, eating meat, and drinking alcohol on the ship.
Who are they?
They are under Whitebeard, the world's strongest, and no one dares to provoke them!
Their days were spent fishing or relaxing, occasionally dealing with idiots who challenged Whitebeard; life was quite carefree, leisurely, and enjoyable!
"Ace, I've received news..."
Marco hung up the den den mushi and said to the anxious man beside him, who was even starting to get angry: "Your younger brother Luffy has appeared again, he's in the East Blue now, and all is well."
"Phew, that's good, that's really good..."
Ace relaxed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he thought of his foolish younger brother.
A few days ago, Garp had actually contacted him, which scared Ace quite a bit.
Upon hearing that Luffy's crew had been captured and their location was unknown, Ace was full of worry.
He didn't want to trouble Whitebeard, but he mobilized the Second Division to search all over the New World.
After all, Garp said that the location was likely in the New World because the person who captured Luffy was very strong.
Now, it's good that he's fine.
Seeing the seagulls flying overhead, Marco casually paid them, took the newspaper, and laughed: "If he hadn't gotten into trouble this time, we really wouldn't have known you had a younger brother..."
"My brother... huh?"
Glancing at the newspaper in Marco's hand, Ace was startled, leaned over to look closely, and immediately exclaimed!
"How is this possible! Hawkeye Mihawk..."
"What did you say? Huh? Is it real or fake..."
Marco also trembled as he looked at the newspaper, then ran towards the center of the deck without looking back, shouting.
"Whitebeard, something big has happened."
