Chapter 142 The Huge Impact of the New Bounty
Chapter 142 The Huge Impact of the New Bounty
In a certain area of the West Sea.
High in the sky atop the Ark of Truth, Nico Robin and Violet also received today's latest newspaper and bounty poster.
"What?! Uncle Yixiao hasn't done anything big! Why is his bounty higher than Bear Dad's?!"
"But Papa Bear's bounty has also increased significantly! Why is that!"
"Have you all been secretly carrying out some major event behind our backs?!"
Bonnie shouted excitedly as she held the bounty poster, her face turning bright red as she saw the long string of numbers on it.
"Haha! This bounty is not bad, at least it exceeds the Three Calamities and Four Generals, but it's still not enough!"
"It's not even as good as Yamato!"
Aramaki grinned widely as he held up his bounty poster. It seemed the World Government and Marine Headquarters had good eyesight, knowing that he was stronger than King the Wildfire.
"Am I now completely labeled as Captain Luo Ji?!"
"Pirates? I am the liberator!"
Yi Xiao didn't care about the bounty on his head, but he had been a war criminal who had been wandering for many years after the fall of his country, and he did live the life of a wanted criminal.
"Your bounties have all increased, even Luo Ji's have skyrocketed, so why is mine still unchanged?!"
Yamato shouted in dissatisfaction, "Aramaki has caught up with me in just two bounty updates, and Ichisho has already amassed a bounty no less than hers as soon as she joined the Luo Ji World Group."
"The captain's bounty actually exceeds that of all the Four Emperors, and is even higher than Whitebeard's bounty!"
He became the second most wanted criminal after Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!
"That means Luo Ji is the most wanted criminal with the highest living bounty!"
Nico Robin, Violet, and Baby5 all gasped in surprise.
Their captain became the man with the world's highest bounty in this era!!
"It seems the Five Elders have already decided to kill me!"
Luo Ji received his latest bounty poster from Robin without any surprise or fear. Black and red lightning flashed across his hand from time to time, making him look like a lightning sprite.
"Captain, you have become the focus of this sea and this era. We need to be more careful."
Big Bear knew how terrifying the Five Elders and the Knights of God were, and he spoke with a solemn expression to warn them.
Seeing that Luo Ji hadn't been blinded by the joy of the high bounty made him very gratified.
"What are you afraid of! Don't be a coward! Just do it!"
"I thought I could only increase my bounty by defeating the Eight Treasures Navy of the Flower Country and the Eight Warriors of the Mulberry Country."
"I didn't expect the World Government and the Navy Headquarters to add it for me on their own initiative! They're actually quite sensible!"
With a toothpick in his mouth and his bounty poster in hand, Huang Mu looked incredibly pleased. Whether as a member of the police force or a pirate, he was determined to make a name for himself.
"That's right! Uncle Aramaki is absolutely right! We can definitely defeat the Four Emperors now!"
Yamato calculated everyone's bounties and felt it was time to launch an attack on the Beasts Pirates.
However, Luo Ji had already prepared a series of plans, so she had to suppress the idea of dealing with the Beast Pirates immediately.
"Don't worry! We'll gain fame, and everyone's dreams will come true!"
Luo Ji chuckled softly. Now that he had recruited these powerful fighters, the momentum was about to begin.
The road ahead will only get smoother!
Now he needs to prepare for a full-scale battle with the Five Elders, and also take the initiative to gradually erode the power of the World Government and strengthen his own influence.

As the latest bounty poster for the Luo Ji Pirates spread throughout the world, the entire world was in an uproar.
Has the Luo Ji Pirates really gotten this big?
Not only is Luo Ji's bounty higher than that of the Four Emperors, but are his subordinates also that strong?!
Are these newcomers really stronger than the Three Calamities and Four Generals?
While countless civilians and small-time pirates were filled with fear, there were also countless powerful pirates and rookie pirates who simply refused to submit to Yixiao and Huangmu, two newcomers.
Tyrant Kuma also has the identity of a former Shichibukai, which can serve as a facade.
Those two guys I've never even heard of, what right do they have to offer a bounty higher than that of Jhin the Wildfire, a major disaster sign?

On a giant white whale pirate ship in a sea area of the New World.
"Why is Luo Ji's bounty higher than my father's?!"
"Those idiots! Fools! Blind men in the World Government and Marine Headquarters!!"
Fire Fist Ace was the first to object. Even though he and Luo Ji were friends, he would never allow Luo Ji to 'step on' his beloved father.
"Gurarara~, bounty money doesn't represent strength. It seems the World Government really values the Hades blueprints!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly, seemingly unconcerned that Luo Ji's bounty exceeded his own.
However, Marco the Phoenix, who knew Whitebeard's personality well, knew that deep down, his father was definitely a little jealous.
After all, Whitebeard was a bit frustrated when Shanks became one of the Four Emperors.
This might be because the younger generation has risen too quickly and is far more outstanding than his sons, making him a little unhappy.
Or perhaps the white-bearded man felt he was getting old and wondered who would support his sons in the future.
"The bounties for Luo Ji's new crew members are so high!!"
The other squad leaders were a bit unconvinced. They had been in the New World for so many years, yet their bounties were still less than those of Issho and Aramaki, two newcomers who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Most of the sixteen division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates have bounties between 4 million and 6 million.
For example, the new second division captain, Portgas D. Ace, has a bounty of 550 million Berries, while the sixteenth division captain, Izou, has a bounty of 510 million Berries.
The other squad leaders all have similar bounty levels.
Only Marco the Phoenix, Diamond Jozu, and Vista the Flower Sword, three of the three main combat division captains, have bounties exceeding 10 billion Berries.
They are comparable to the three top officers of the Red-Haired Pirates, the three calamities of the Beasts Pirates, and the four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates.
Vista the foil and Yasopp the pursuer had a fierce battle that left behind great conflict and grudges.
Charlotte Snag became one of the Four Sweet Commanders because her bounty reached the threshold of 6 million Berries.
It surpassed Who's Who, the leader of the Flying Six, and the other 13 division commanders of Whitebeard.
Furthermore, the reason why the Whitebeard Pirates are the leader of the Four Emperors is...
Whitebeard was very strong, that's one aspect.
Of course, besides the three major division commanders, the remaining 13 division commanders far exceed the number of the six members and officers of the Red-Haired Pirates, the Flying Six of the Beast Pirates, and the main ministers of the Big Mom Pirates.
Moreover, Whitebeard had more than forty affiliated pirate crews.
The captains' bounties are generally between 2 million and 5 million, indicating their immense power.
"The Navy must have a reason for offering such a high bounty to these new recruits. Perhaps Luo Ji found these hidden powerhouses somewhere."
Didn't Ace always say that Luo Ji has a certain prophetic ability?
These two must be top-tier experts that Luo Ji found using his prophetic abilities.
Seeing his brothers in a frenzy, Marco the Phoenix quickly stepped forward to ease the tension.
After all, he still wanted to be on good terms with Luo Ji and didn't want to start a war with Luo Ji's pirate crew over trivial matters like bounties.
