Pirate's Freedom

"Okay, there's no point in thinking about how Tata Tot became strong." As the host of the meeting, Marshal Kong would always interrupt these inappropriate exclamations and bring the meeting back to the main topic.

"The current issue is how to deal with him in the future, and——"

Having said this, Marshal Kong paused and his face became serious. Under his influence, even Garp's expression became serious.

"Determination of reward amount."

The one who spoke first this time was Lieutenant General He. She said calmly: "It's very simple. You can fight against powerful forces alone. Isn't there a precedent for this in the sea?"

"...You mean [Red Earl] Baloric Redfield?" Marshal Kong was the first to think of this old rival.

"Just treat him as the next [Red Earl] and prohibit ordinary naval branches from taking action against him." Lieutenant General He continued to explain her strategy. She believed that things that have already been done before will not be used until the situation changes. More discussion is needed.

"When he appears again, find the right opportunity, mobilize enough combat power, and defeat him in one fell swoop just like you did against the [Devil's Descendants]."

"That's it," Marshal Kong had no objection to this. After agreeing to this decision, he came to the last topic——

"Now let's discuss Tata Tot's bounty!"

The bounty is a bounty placed by the world government on wanted criminals (such as pirates). The amount of the bounty does not only represent how powerful the person being rewarded is, but also represents the [danger] that person poses to the government. Or how high the [threat level] is.

"..." This is not an easy job. The bounty for pirates cannot be determined with a slap on the head. There are many factors that need to be considered. Speaking rashly will only be dismissed. For a moment, everyone present Everyone fell silent.

"How about 15 billion?"

The person in charge of this aspect on a daily basis is Warring States, and he is also the first to speak now.

"If the reward reaches this amount for the first time, this guy will shock the world!"

Everyone was a little surprised by this number, but Garp agreed after sighing, "However, since the [Demon Slaying Order] has been defeated, this number is not exaggerated."

No one objected for a while, but before the bounty was finalized, Marshal Kong, who was just presiding over the meeting and not speaking much, spoke at this time.

"...The bounty this time must be at least 20 billion."

"Does it need to be higher?!" The first person to object this time was Sengoku. He was very sensitive to these numbers. "Of those guys who dominate the new world, there are still some who have not reached this level!"

Although Lieutenant General He did not object explicitly, he also expressed his doubts.

"At this point, no one will take action against him because of the bounty. Is there any point in continuing to increase the bounty besides improving his reputation?"

"This is done to give an explanation to the Tianlong people." Faced with these old subordinates, Marshal Kong had to make an explanation.

"The Tianlong people already know who did what happened last time. Regardless of whether it is meaningful or not, the Navy must find a way to appease them."

Once the Tianlong people are involved, many things become unreasonable, and everyone present knows this.

"There's nothing we can do about it," Warring States said in a helpless compromise, naming a figure that was just over 20 billion Baileys. "The bounty is set at 20 billion..."

"Porrrrrrrrrrr~~porrrrrrrrrrr~~"

The phone bug's voice rang, interrupting Warring States' speech. Marshal Kong frowned and took out a phone bug from his pocket. Although the meeting was still in progress, after thinking about who knew the phone bug's number, Kong Directly connected to the phone bug.

After a "porphyrin" sound, the phone bug turned into the image of an old man with a beard and long curly hair. Without any communication, a serious order came -

"Increase the bounty on Tata Tot by [-] million beli!"

"But..." Marshal Kong was a little surprised and couldn't help but want to defend.

"I don't care what the current bounty amount is, I mean, increase it to [-] million on this basis!" The voice on the phone bug was unquestionable, "Execute the order, Sora, and the information will be passed to you next."

"...I know." Sora didn't say anything else, and hung up the phone directly after replying.

"This is the first time that the Five Old Stars have directly intervened in the pirate bounty."

Garp ignored the tense atmosphere in the conference room and said in surprise, "Did something happen that we don't know about?"

Lieutenant General He also frowned, put his clenched hands under his nose, and pondered a little.

"There is no explanation at all. No matter what happened, Wu Laoxing has been angered."

After hanging up the phone bug, Marshal Kong took out a fax phone bug. After taking a look at the information passed on, he handed it to Lieutenant General He.

"Look, this is the latest information investigated by the government's intelligence agency."

General Hezhong took the information and read it while reading it. His soft voice echoed in the conference room.

"Starting from the merchant ship that carried Tata Tot to O'Hara, the intelligence agency used a lot of manpower to trace back, and finally determined that Tata Tot set out from Caldera Island in the South China Sea..."

"That island is near Badelila Island." Warring States did not wait for Lieutenant General He to continue reading. Because of a certain incident, he was somewhat familiar with the geographical conditions near Badelila Island.

Lieutenant General He nodded, and the rest were simple speculations, "A few days before he left, the [Roger's Ghost] incident occurred on Batelila Island, although there is no clear evidence that there was any connection between the two. relationship, but..."

"The evidence is unnecessary!" Others remained silent, but Garp was rude.

"That's it for this meeting. I'll leave the rest to you, Sengoku."

Marshal Kong announced the end of the meeting, and he was the first to leave the conference room, and the rest of the people also stood up. Marshal Kong announced the end of the meeting, and he was the first to leave the conference room, and the rest of the people also stood up. In the heart of [Zhijiang] Warring States Period Turning a thought——

The government will definitely block Tata Tot's information, whether it is the death of the Celestial Dragons, the defeat of the [Demon Slayer Order], or even the truth behind the Batelila Island incident, what Tata Tot did, which one The government will not allow this incident to be reported in the news.

Thinking of this, Warring States couldn't help but be curious about the subsequent events that would be triggered by the reward order——

A guy who suddenly appeared suddenly had a bounty equal to his own, but no one knew what he had done. What would the [Emperors] at sea think?
