Pirate Catcher in the Rye

Two days later,

royal palace.

After the war with the Beast Pirates ended, the Hawkins Pirates worked non-stop. After cleaning the battlefield, they returned to the royal capital of Aponis.

Everyone in the Hawkins Pirates looked at Hawkins with burning eyes...the stack of bounty orders in their hands, showing expressions of anticipation.

Their reward should be increased this time!

"Let's take a look!" After saying that, Hawkins spread out all the bounties in his hand and placed them on the table in front of him.

Everyone quickly looked for their own share!

"The captain of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Magician' Basil Hawkins, has a bounty of 18 billion Baileys."

"The chef of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Lady' Bettina, has a bounty of 300 million Baileys."

"The vice-captain of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Nightmare' Randall, has a bounty of 10 million Baileys."

"Combatant of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Whitebeard II' Edward Weeble, has a bounty of 10 Baileys."

"A combatant of the Hawkins Pirates, the 'King of Evil' Abarro Pizarro, has a bounty of 6 million Baileys."

"The swordsman of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Hound' Dent, has a bounty of 2 million Baileys."

"The swordsman of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Evil Ghost' Isiah, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys!"

"The swordsman of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Red Eyes' Brent, has a bounty of 8900 million Baileys!"

"The navigator of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Fire Demon' Jamory, has a bounty of 9400 million Baileys."

"Fighter Baker, a combatant of the Hawkins Pirates, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"The leader of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Skull Crusher' Bartholomew, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys!"

"The sniper of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Silent' Tanya, has a bounty of 9000 million Baileys!"

"The musician of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Accompanist' Elise, has a bounty of 5200 million beli."

"The doctor of the Hawkins Pirates, the 'God of Death' Poison Q, has a bounty of 2 million Baileys."

"Fighter of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Priest' Bernard, has a bounty of 8600 million Baileys."

"The helmsman of the Hawkins Pirates, Elke the Strange Limb, has a bounty of 2 million Baileys."

"The shipwrights of the Hawkins Pirates, the 'violent shipwrights' Dai and Darrell brothers, have a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"The combatant of the Hawkins Pirates, the 'Poisonous Lady' Vinsmoke Reiju, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"The Hawkins Pirates' combatant, 'Fire' Vinsmoke Iji, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"Fighter of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Electric' Vinsmoke Nige, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"Fighter of the Hawkins Pirates, 'Impact' Vinsmoke Yuuji, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

Uh? ! !

When everyone saw the reward issued by the Navy this time, they felt a little confused. It was not that the increase was too big, but that it was too little!

Except for Randall, Weibull and Pizarro, the bounties offered by the others are too small and completely inconsistent with their current strength and status.

Especially Hawkins,

He had a battle with Kaido, and Kaido's bounty was 46 million Baileys!

Although Hawkins has also increased to the 18 billion level this time, it is still less than half of Kaido's.

Randall and Weibull's bounty was expected. After all, they had fought alone against the three plagues of the Beast Pirates on the uninhabited island, and they were able to survive.

As for Pizarro, who has always been so jealous, perhaps because of his status as a repeat offender of Infinite Hell, the Navy just restored his original reward!

And except for the three of them and the captain Hawkins, the bounties offered by the others don't look like officials of the superpower in the New World at all.

This kind of bounty looks like a pirate at the level of the first half of the Grand Line!

"I said, the navy is too stingy. The bounties on Kaido's flying six cells are all over 4 million." Deent frowned dissatisfied.

Fortunately, they waited for so long, and this is the result?

However, judging from the overall increase, everyone has obviously increased a lot, especially the few people who showed their domineering power in that battle, basically all of them have exceeded [-] million.

Other than that,

The three Iji brothers and Reiju also performed well, with their bounties all exceeding the [-] million level this time!

"It should be because of territory, influence and reputation!"

"After all, the Beast Pirates are the old four emperors. They also occupy the country of Wano and have a huge weapons processing factory."

"If we include these things, even the Wallis Kingdom has not yet been integrated, so our value is indeed only this!"

Hawkins touched his chin, but there was no big surprise.

The Beast Pirates have been in the New World for many years, and their relationships with all the major forces are intricate and intertwined, forming a huge network of interests.

It is definitely not comparable to the current Hawkins Pirates!

Simultaneously,

Whether it is Kaido or the cadres of the Beast Pirates, they have considerable prestige and deterrence in the new world and even the world.

Just a pirate flag can play a huge role in preventing other forces from taking a step too far!

The members of the Hawkins Pirates have only initially gained fame, and the gap between them is like a chasm.

These all take time to accumulate!

Even Blackbeard, who later became the Yonko, had a reward of only 22 million beli, which shows.

"Isn't Boss Hawkins angry?"

"Why are you angry? That's just our value in the eyes of the Navy. There's no need to care too much about the standards set by others."

"But... our bounty is not even as good as some supernovas, who obviously fought a battle with the Beast Pirates."

Bartholomew said with an unhappy expression.

Some of the supernovas in the Chambord Islands had higher bounties than him. They were obviously a bunch of rookies who didn't even have the power to master!

"The reason why those people's bounties are so high, in addition to their strength, is mostly because they have caused huge damage to the navy and the countries that are affiliated with the World Government."

"Of course, killing civilians is also included!"

Speaking of which, even his reward was ranked third when he landed on the Chambord Islands.

After all, the bounty is just a comprehensive estimate given by the navy, and it doesn't mean anything.

Although it is very popular among pirates, and eventually it even evolved into a proof of strength, but after reaching a certain level, it becomes a piece of waste paper!

They have similar meanings to trophies and certificates. The only difference is that most of these rewards are negative.

There are so many ways to increase the bounty, but Hawkins is not very interested in them!

"Has the investigation in Nanfang Town been clear? Are those people sure that they have defected to the Revolutionary Army?" Then Hawkins turned to look at Henryk below.

Bartholomew had already informed Hawkins of the declaration of war by Lord Sares of Southern Town two days ago.

However, after the battle with the Beast Pirates, everyone was a little tired. They just returned to the royal capital Aponis yesterday, so they were delayed for a day.

But it’s time to deal with it now!

"Yes, the Revolutionary Army attaches great importance to this operation and dispatched Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, and Karas, Commander of the Northern Army."

"Both of them are core members of the revolutionary army with extraordinary strength, and they are also Long's right-hand men!"

Karas? ! !

Hawkins was immediately interested.

After all, Karas was also born in Beihai. In the eight years since Doflamingo left Beihai, and after acquiring Doflamingo's two arsenals, the Revolutionary Army has been the most active force in Beihai.

And the leader among them is Karas! ! !

When Yongji and others were engaged in mercenary missions, they had many encounters with them, and several missions failed due to Karas's actions.

However, the other party still knew the rules and did not kill Yongji and others, so Hawkins did not pursue the case!

Unexpectedly, this time for the Wallis Kingdom, they would face off against the Hawkins Pirates. I must have been mentally prepared for it.

"So, over there in Western Town..."

"You're from Western Town! It's a bit troublesome. He actually defected to the BIGMOM Pirates. Don't worry about it for now. Prioritize the Revolutionary Army."

"However, Noble knows many of the Wallis Kingdom's relationships and military deployment. Once..."

Henrik looked worried.

With the power of the BIGMOM Pirates and Noble as a matchmaker, many forces that have previously cooperated with the Wallis Kingdom are likely to all switch sides.

As a result, their losses will be great, and may even affect the normal operation of the Wallis Kingdom.

Much-needed supplies cannot be purchased, and goods produced have nowhere to sell.

If things go on like this, people's lives will not be protected, and more and more people will stand up against them!

Coupled with the fact that they are familiar with the military deployment of Wallis Kingdom, it is easy for the BIGMOM pirates to come and plunder.

The situation is extremely unfavorable!

"You can even think about it with your toes. How could that old woman from BIGMOM be willing to spit out the food she ate?"

"Besides, the two pirate groups are on the same route, and they will be our main competitors from now on."

"When the revolutionary army is dealt with..."

"We will gather all our troops, go to Cake Island and visit her in person, and beat her until she vomits everything out!"
