This time, the implementation of the Royal Shichibukai system was crucial for the Navy. He couldn't trust anyone else to handle it.
If he let Akainu do it, it was estimated that no matter how much time he gave him, he wouldn't be able to select a single person to become a Shichibukai; Kizaru was even more out of the question, he would probably just randomly find a few pirates to become Shichibukai; Only Aokiji would take this matter seriously, and seriously choose.
Sengoku said, "In addition, the bounty for Akira also needs to be changed. Let's set it at 500 million Berries."
"500 million? Isn't that too high?" Garp shouted in surprise.
Sengoku glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, It's not high. This is a special event. We must make a gesture to let the people above see.
If we can really use 500 million Berries to catch that kid, I'll give out 500 million Berries without blinking an eye.
The others didn't say anything. Although in their opinion, it was a bit too high for Akira to have a bounty of 500 million Berries at the age of less than sixteen, thinking about that kid's ability, potential, and actions, 500 million Berries wasn't unacceptable.
It was just that they didn't know what kind of shock this bounty would cause when it was announced.
"Tsuru."
Sengoku said to Vice Admiral Tsuru, "I'm going to the Holy Land Mariejois. The launch of the Royal Shichibukai, and that kid's matter, must be told to the people above. After I leave, the Navy's full power will be temporarily handed over to you."
Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded. Like Garp, their importance and abilities couldn't be reflected by their ranks alone.
"Dad, Dad, something big happened. Something big happened."
On the Moby Dick, Fourth Division Commander Thatch suddenly ran towards Whitebeard, shouting loudly.
Ever since he obtained the Yuki Yuki no Mi, Thatch had been training the Yuki Yuki no Mi's ability on the ship.
Just now, he accidentally used his ability to knock down a news bird. When he saw the content on the news bird, he was immediately stunned.
Then, he quickly ran to Whitebeard to report the news.
Seeing Thatch running over in a fuss, Whitebeard shouted, "What big thing happened again? Is it about that kid, Newgate, again?"
Thatch, who had just run here, was stunned when he heard Whitebeard's words. He looked at Whitebeard in astonishment, and asked, "Dad, you already know?"
Whitebeard was also stunned, and asked, "What do I know? Is it really about Newgate?"
Just now, Whitebeard was just saying it casually. Because he was always thinking about Newgate, he had instinctively said those words.
But who knew that Thatch would actually respond. This made Whitebeard nervous.
Thatch looked at Whitebeard's expression, and knew that Whitebeard didn't know. So he quickly said, "Dad, it's indeed Newgate. He caused trouble, and it's a huge trouble."
Hearing Thatch and Whitebeard's conversation, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the ship all gathered here.
Marco asked curiously, "Thatch, you said Newgate caused a huge trouble. What's going on?"
Thatch handed the newspaper to Whitebeard, and then explained to the others, Newgate really broke the sky this time.
He attacked a Celestial Dragon on the Sabaody Archipelago, and even forced the Celestial Dragon to kneel to him.
"What?"
The eyes of the Whitebeard Pirates were about to pop out. Afterwards, they all took a breath of cold air, and a deep shock flowed out of their eyes.
They were all very aware of the Celestial Dragons' status. Newgate forcing the Celestial Dragon to kneel to him was indeed no different from breaking the sky.
"Gurarara..."
While everyone was shocked, Whitebeard suddenly let out a huge laughter, waking everyone from their trance.
Thatch said even more urgently, "Dad, why are you still laughing? Newgate has caused such a big trouble. Why are you still laughing?"
Whitebeard stopped laughing after a while. He said, What else can I do if I don't laugh? That kid wasn't a peaceful person by nature.
When he went out, I predicted that he would cause trouble. But I still underestimated his ability to cause trouble.
He actually caused such a big commotion as soon as he came up. He even dared to touch a Celestial Dragon. What else is there that he wouldn't dare to do?
Even Whitebeard was shocked by Newgate's courage at this time. That was a Celestial Dragon.
Although he never took the Celestial Dragons seriously, he would never take the initiative to provoke the Celestial Dragons like Newgate, and even do such a shocking thing.
Forcing the Celestial Dragon to kneel wasn't just as simple as saying it. Newgate's actions were even more serious than killing the Celestial Dragon.
This was the greatest provocation to the world's nobles, the supreme Celestial Dragon race.
"500 million Berries. The Navy is really generous enough. They actually raised his bounty to 500 million Berries. There aren't many great pirates in the entire sea with bounties exceeding 500 million Berries, right?" Whitebeard was even more shocked after seeing the Navy's bounty.
Hearing that Newgate's bounty had actually been raised to 500 million, the Whitebeard Pirates were all very shocked.
You had to know that in the entire Whitebeard Pirates, only Whitebeard and Marco had bounties exceeding 500 million.
Even Third Division Commander Jozu only had 500 million Berries. Now, Newgate had actually become the person with the third highest bounty in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Marco said in a deep voice, "I remember that attacking a Celestial Dragon seems to attract the pursuit of a Navy Admiral, right? Newgate attacked a Celestial Dragon on the Sabaody Archipelago. The Sabaody Archipelago is so close to the Navy Headquarters Marineford. The speed of the Navy Admiral's dispatch must be very fast. Isn't Newgate's current situation very dangerous?"
Whitebeard said, "Marco, you're confused because you're concerned. Look at the Navy's bounty. If they had caught Newgate, would they still raise his bounty to 500 million Berries? The only explanation for them raising the bounty is that they haven't caught Newgate. So we don't need to worry about his safety for the time being."
Looking at that huge photo on the newspaper in his hand, Newgate on it was forcing the Celestial Dragon to kneel with a cold face. Whitebeard sighed lightly in his heart.
Newgate had indeed played too big this time. With the personalities of those guys in the Holy Land, how could they let Newgate go?
Whitebeard said, "I'm not very worried about the Navy now. Since Newgate did such a thing, it means that he has confidence. What I'm worried about now is the people besides the Navy."
The Whitebeard Pirates' faces also changed. Marco said in a deep voice, "Dad, you mean that those people may chase after him for Newgate's bounty?"
Whitebeard nodded, and said, "Not only that. Newgate is still young after all. The Navy gave such a high bounty. It will definitely attract some desperadoes. Moreover, there may also be secret departments from the World Government. The Celestial Dragons are the masters of the Holy Land after all. They can still mobilize a lot of power."
"Then let's go save Newgate immediately." The Whitebeard Pirates all said.
Although everyone felt that Newgate had done a bit too much this time, no one blamed him.
Instead, they wanted to rescue him at the first time. This was the cohesion of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Whitebeard glared at everyone, and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go save Newgate? How are you going to save him? Bring all our subordinates to the Grand Line? Think about it. Is that possible? Will the Navy let us go? Unless we risk a full-scale war with the Navy, we definitely can't leave the New World."
Everyone immediately didn't speak. They could indeed be the kings and hegemons in the New World. However, in the first half of the Grand Line, that was the Navy's base camp.
Even if they weren't afraid, they would definitely suffer if they fought. But if they didn't do anything, everyone was a bit unwilling.
Whitebeard said, "Alright. You don't need to be too pessimistic either. Don't you know that kid, Newgate, has some skills? Although his strength is a bit lacking, all kinds of abilities are very practical. Even if the Navy Admiral is dispatched, it won't be that easy to catch him. Those bounty hunters and the like are also very dangerous, but he should be able to deal with them."
"However, we can't do nothing either. Although it's impossible to directly go to the Grand Line to help him, we can use other means to give the Navy and the World Government pressure. Don't forget that the New World is our territory. Doesn't the Navy still have many bases in the New World? Our goal is those bases. Clear all those bases for me. I want to see what that guy, Sengoku, will react to."
"Yes, Dad. We'll start preparing immediately."
Hearing Whitebeard's words, everyone was excited. Just as Whitebeard said, although they couldn't directly help Newgate, it wasn't a problem for them to contain a part of the Navy's power.
Whitebeard said to himself with a heavy face, "Kid, you caused this trouble yourself. I believe you should have the ability to settle it. Don't disappoint me."
Besides the Whitebeard Pirates, the other major forces also knew about the incident caused by Newgate.
Everyone's attitudes were different. However, without exception, Newgate's name was remembered by everyone. Perhaps some people looked down on him, but more people were dignified.
Besides the Whitebeard Pirates, there was another force that attached great importance to this incident.
That was the Revolutionary Army, which had been extremely active in the world in the past two years. Monkey D. Dragon's name was also immediately listed as the world's most heinous criminal after he appeared.
There was no one else. He was also considered by the World Government to be the only existence that could potentially subvert them.
"Dragon, why do you attach so much importance to this matter?"
In a certain corner of the world, this was a base of the Revolutionary Army. Dragon was leading the cadres of the Revolutionary Army here.
Dragon hadn't publicly appeared in the world since becoming the leader of the Revolutionary Army. So, apart from those who had seen him before, no one knew what he looked like.
Moreover, he had a tattoo on his face, so even fewer people recognized him.
Dragon said in a deep voice, This is a great opportunity. The Celestial Dragons' prestige has been damaged, and the World Government is in a mess. It's the perfect time for us to revolt. I once met that kid who boldly forced the Celestial Dragon to kneel.
Although I'm a little surprised that he dared to do such a thing, I also know that he won't end it there so easily. So, we must seize this opportunity, and we can also help that kid along the way.
