Indeed, after joining the pirate group, he could feel the distrust of people like Lafayette Jaya, but from Mod's attitude... he did not feel this way.
"Yo ho ho... I will send Binx's wine to you, and ride the waves like the sea breeze..."
At this time, Brooke's singing voice came along with the melodious piano sound.
The noise on the banquet table suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at Brooke who was sitting in front of the piano and swaying his body to the melody, and all smiled.
Qing Zhi felt the joyful atmosphere firsthand and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
... ... ... ...
A few days later.
The terrifying three-masted ship is still anchored on the sea, waiting for someone who is destined to pass by and replenish a wave of supplies for Maud and the others.
However, before the destined person could wait, he intercepted another newspaper delivery gull on the way.
"Oh, oh!!!"
The newspaper gull flapped its wings and gestured to Maud and the others.
Bebo promptly helped the newspaper delivery gull translate: "He said, why is it you again!!!"
"Oh, you are the one who delivered the newspaper last time. What a coincidence."
Looking at the newspaper delivery gull that looked similar, Maude was slightly stunned, and then took out the newspaper from the newspaper delivery gull's bag.
"Ooooh...!"
"He said, it's not for you."
"It's okay, just pay me."
Maude didn't care at all, opened the newspaper, and a reward notice fell out of it.
He glanced hastily and immediately saw his own photo.
"It's the captain's reward order."
Others nearby also saw it, and their eyes couldn't help but follow the falling reward order.
"Huh?"
As the reward order was implemented, everyone quickly noticed the change in the reward amount.
"This is... a new reward order."
"Look how much the captain's bounty has gone up."
"hiss-"
"2. 2.98 billion!!!"
After seeing the updated bounty amount, almost everyone looked shocked.
"Others' reward orders have also been updated."
Jim shook out many reward notices from the newspaper delivery bag.
... ... ... ...
Chapter 229: The Ten Billion Pirates
"Oh, oh oh!!"
Amid the helpless cry of the newspaper gull, Jim picked up the bulging bag, flipped it upside down, and roughly poured out everything in the bag.
A stack of newspapers and reward orders fell out of the bag.
At first glance, there are more bounty orders.
The newspaper delivery gull looked at the newspapers and reward orders scattered on the floor, and was so aggrieved that he almost cried.
It decided to go back and apply for a change of route after this trip was completed.
It never wants to see this group of people again!
Seeing the newspaper gull's aggrieved look, Perona, who loves small animals the most, couldn't help it.
She came over, stuffed a small stack of banknotes into the wings of the newspaper delivery gull, and said comfortingly: "Don't be sad, this money is enough to buy several packages of newspapers, and the extra money should be regarded as your hard work."
“…”
Hearing this, the newspaper gull lowered his head and glanced at Bailey, who was tucked into the wings by Perona, and opened his mouth several times with some hesitation.
Although Perona didn't understand, she guessed that the paper gull was thanking her.
"It doesn't cost much, so you don't need to thank me. Who made the cute little animal that I despise the most be wronged? Hahahahaha..."
“…”
The paper gull looked at Perona blankly.
Beibo, who temporarily acted as translator, hesitated to speak.
Bailey came over, casually smeared the boogers he had just picked out on Bebo's body, and then looked at Perona, who was immersed in her kind and lovely imagination.
"Perona, it's saying that the money you gave it isn't enough. You idiot, you thought it was thanking you. You're laughing so hard."
"?"
"If there is an afterlife, I want to be a booger that sticks to a smelly bear."
"??"
"You skunk bastard, you stuck your boogers on a bear, ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Bang bang...!"
Not far away, Jim looked at several living treasures in the team speechlessly. He bent down to pick up the bounty orders that fell on the ground, and then distributed them to his companions.
Everyone took the reward order and started reading it.
What concerned them most was not their own reward order, but Mod's reward order.
"Although the captain's bounty this time has increased by 1 billion, it is still much lower than last time."
Lafayette didn't care about his new bounty order. Instead, he held Maude's bounty order, his eyes flashed, and he said regretfully: "It would be great if it could be directly raised to 4 billion."
"4 billion..."
The flesh on Ulki's cheeks trembled, thinking that it had risen directly from 1.9 billion to 4 billion, why not just go to heaven.
Hawkins lowered his head and stared at the numbers on Maud's bounty order. He seemed to understand the reason why Lafayette said that. He said calmly: "The bounties of the four emperors are all over 4 billion."
"Yes, I remember that Red Hair's bounty is 4 billion 48.9 million, which is also the lowest among the four emperors."
Arthur stared intently at Maud's reward order and agreed with Hawkins' statement.
Among the Four Emperors, except for the deceased Whitebeard, whose bounty was over 5 billion, the bounties of the other Four Emperors ranged from 4 billion to 4.7 billion.
In other words, a 4 billion bounty is the basic standard for the Yonko.
However, this statement is baseless.
But the bounty of the four emperors is more than 4 billion, so the pirates in the New World generally think so.
Therefore, it is not so much that Lafayette hopes that Maude's bounty can be increased to 4 billion, but that Lafayette hopes that Maude can quickly ascend to the position of four emperors.
"Oh ho ho, that means... To become the Four Emperors, the most basic condition is that the reward exceeds 4 billion?"
Brooke was very curious.
"call-"
Xia Qi puffed out the smoke and said with a smile: "That's right, after all... Being able to be rewarded with 4 billion is enough to show your strength, but if you want to stand firm in the new world, the scale of your power is the most important."
"Yo ho ho, then our captain... must be fine."
Brooke looked at Maud, who was not far away.
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi glanced at Qing Pheasant, who was looking at his reward order with a strange expression. Then, like Brooke, he looked at Maud not far away and said softly:
"Yes, after the Blackbeard Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates were defeated one after another, little Mod is indeed the most powerful contender for the position of the Four Emperors."
"Competing for the position of the Four Emperors..."
Luo crossed his arms and said coldly: "But Maude has never expressed his stance on this kind of thing."
Hearing Luo's words, the people around him couldn't help but be startled.
It seems to be true.
Maude... never said anything about becoming the "Pirate King" or the "Yonko".
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Maude.
At this time, Maude happened to come to Qingzhi. She seemed to have seen something very interesting. She patted Qingzhi on the shoulder and smiled happily.
And Qing Pheasant let Maud keep patting her shoulders.
He was holding a reward order in his hand, and the look on his face was indescribably weird.
... ... .
Navy headquarters, conference room.
The spacious floor is covered with soft tatami mats.
A series of low tables, neatly arranged on both sides.
Behind each low table is a futon.
This is a conference room full of Japanese style.
Click—
The lattice door was suddenly pushed to one side.
A man with green hair, sunglasses, and a navy coat walked into the conference room and placed the documents in his hands on a low table in the center of the conference room.
As he put down the documents, the lattice doors on both sides of the conference room were pushed open.
One by one, the admirals wearing coats and looking solemn on their faces crossed the open lattice door, walked into the conference room one after another, and sat behind the low tables on both sides.
The man with green hair and sunglasses glanced at his colleagues who entered the conference room one after another.
Before the meeting began, he pinned the latest bounty order on the whiteboard dedicated to the meeting.
In the most conspicuous position in the center, there are four reward orders, namely - Maude, Qingji, Barrett, and Shiliu.
The man with green hair and sunglasses glanced at the bounty orders one by one, and finally settled on the photo of the Aoki Pheasant bounty order.
In the photo, Aoki is wearing a white suit, with his hands in his pockets and his body leaning to one side.
His head was tilted back slightly, his eyes were covered with a mesh goggle, a big bubble came out of his left nostril, and drool could be clearly seen unconsciously dripping from the corner of his mouth.
This is the bounty photo of Qing Pheasant. It can be said that it has no image at all.
But there is no way. The navy has only one photo of Aoki without a navy coat.
"2.68 billion... As the first time a bounty has been offered, it can be said to be unprecedented."
Looking at the amount of Qing Pheasant's reward, the man with green hair and sunglasses had a complicated expression.
He was originally one of the few with the highest combat power in the Navy Headquarters, but now he has become a member of the Mord Pirates.
It feels so bad.
The green-haired man with sunglasses sighed in his heart, and immediately looked at the reward orders for the members of the Morde Pirates, with a solemn look in his eyes under the sunglasses.
"The Morde Pirates have reached a 'tens of billions bounty' scale in less than three years. This is also... unprecedented!"
After glancing at all the latest bounty orders, the man with green hair and sunglasses felt extremely heavy.
Leaving aside Barrett, the most vicious prison escapee in history, the existence of the Morde Pirates is obviously another threat that is comparable to the Yonko and gives the Navy Headquarters quite a headache.
Although there is no logical explanation yet...
But with the size and record of the Morde Pirates, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sure thing to replace the Whitebeard Pirates as the Four Emperors.
Chapter 230 Their reward
The people from the Navy Headquarters who came to attend this meeting have not yet arrived, but the white board of the meeting has been filled with reward orders posted by a man with green hair and sunglasses.
The admirals who arrived at the conference room first took their seats.
