I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 697 Kuzan, billion Baileys!
Malinvando.

Akainu's original group that moved back from the New World.

As a fortress that was destroyed and then rebuilt, it has Akainu's unique aesthetic after its re-formation.

The original fortress could only be described as huge and magnificent, but the newly built fortress looked like a war fortress.

The remaining crescent-shaped port was expanded, and the expanded area was filled with status and guard pacifists.

And at the front of the port, there is the tallest castle tower, which is also built in the shape of a huge gun muzzle in the center, facing the sea.

York joined the World Government and contributed technology, which also brought some changes to the headquarters of the Navy.

In addition to the main reason being that it is close to the holy land of Marijoa, it is also because they think that this fortress cannot experience a second destruction.

Otherwise, the navy’s already declining prestige will probably be further reduced.

boom!
In the office, Akainu hung up the phone angrily, and then punched the desk that had been changed countless times. The red stain on his fist dissolved a hole in the table below, and magma dripped down.

Under the brim of the hat, smoke from a cigar was gushing out from his mouth, swirling in front of his face.

He stood up and walked straight to the balcony, overlooking the vast blue sea in front of him, in silence.

From behind him, the navy subordinates who were always ready approached stealthily and carried away the broken desk. Several other subordinates carried another desk and put it back in its original place.

Yellow Monkey, who was leaning against the balcony door frame and cutting his nails, put down his nail clippers, turned his head and turned to the sea, then pouted and smiled:

"How terrifying! Although it has always been this terrifying, if I had known earlier, I should have killed him in the Seven Water City."

"Who knows what will happen in the future? Don't make such teasing remarks."

Akainu slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of determined eyes. "The Revolutionary Army has not only failed to solve the problem after shrinking its forces until now, but also allowed the natural disaster to grow. I have long opposed it. It is unrealistic for the Pirate Kingdom. It can do nothing except lower our reputation and lose face for the Navy."

“It’s not like there’s nothing.”

Kizaru glanced in the direction of the Red Earth Continent, and he didn't know if he was being sarcastic or not: "At least a certain guy is now very popular. As long as we talk about pirates, we can never get around him. Not only that, he has also gained a lot of combat power. It is unrealistic to deal with him now."

"Huh! That guy Kuzan!"

Akainu snorted coldly, but remained silent for a while before saying, "Although it is evil, at least this time, the vision is good."

Sarge has become so powerful that even Akainu, who regards pirates as evil, has to admit that he is a pirate who has surpassed Rocks and is the only pirate in the history of navigation who can compete with their navy!
Locks?
It's a loose alliance without any base. Although it's powerful, it has to coexist with other pirates. Once the captain falls, they will immediately disperse.

Ancient Nika? The original pirate?

Although powerful, it is only a very small team, or even just one person.

Only Sag is not only personally powerful, but also has such a huge influence that everyone, including the navy, has begun to take it for granted that the New World is his territory. Even though, judging from the intelligence, he is still digesting the first half and has not made any moves on the second half.

Especially after this battle, its position became unshakable.

But it also made Akainu even angrier.

He had nothing to do with the relocation of the headquarters. That was a complete disrespect to the navy. Even if he went to Marijoa many times, the answer he got was always
The Navy is just a peripheral organization of the World Government.

The higher up you get, the more you realize how factual and powerless this statement is.

Many decisions are not made as they wish. No matter how much autonomy they have, it only applies to ordinary pirates. Once they rise to the level of big pirates, they are actually no different from puppets.

But this made Akainu even more angry.

"If you had listened to me and stayed in the New World Headquarters, there wouldn't be so many problems!"

Akainu said angrily: "Although Sarge is powerful, it is impossible for him to attack the Navy Headquarters. Even if there is no such a shitty agreement, he will not come to deal with the Navy! But now, it is equivalent to giving up the last territory of the New World. What about the West Sea and the North Sea? Vegapunk is with him, so it is impossible that he does not have the technology to cross the Calm Belt!"

"If there is a mistake in strategy, no matter how you fight tactically, it will not work out!"

No matter how wide the Grand Route is, it is not as long as the route itself. It won’t take long for the natural disaster to cross the two seas.

The World Government didn't care at all about what he could think of. They always talked about the agreement and only wanted to deal with the Revolutionary Army that threatened their foundation first.

As for Sager, they think it is just business.

But this business is the biggest problem.

No matter how strong Sarger is, Akainu dares to fight him, but this business, even if he doesn't understand it completely, just based on the intelligence, makes him feel creepy.

As Sage grew stronger, their prestige plummeted, causing more and more pirates to no longer fear their navy.

In the past, pirates’ first reaction when encountering a warship was to run away. Only a few vicious ones would think of starting a war with the warship.

Now the proportion of this part has increased significantly, which has greatly increased the intensity of their battles and consumed a lot of funds.

Medicine, weapons, ships. Which one doesn't cost money?

"Once the prestige of the navy falls, it will be very difficult to pick it up again!"

It is difficult to improve the prestige of the side representing justice, and it is even more difficult to improve it once it falls behind.

The side representing evil seems to make people more tolerant. Even if it is eliminated, as long as it revive, it will still make people afraid. The bigger the evil, the more afraid people will be.

"And that guy, let's offer a reward."

Akainu was silent for a while, with a sigh and emotion in his tone, "Since he doesn't care about the impact at all, it means that he has completely joined the evil side. We don't need to care about face anymore."

"The impact will be huge." Kizaru reminded.

"No matter how big it is, there will be a reward!"

Akainu gritted his teeth and said, "He is not like that guy Yixiao. He has only been a member for two years. Even if he joined the evil side, he was just a kingdom sheriff. That guy is a veteran marine! But he joined the evil twice without any regard for his dignity! We must offer a bounty! Let the world know!"

As he said this, he clenched his fists, and the lava red light came out again, "That damn guy Kuzan!!"

Kuzan's departure was a scandal in itself, and the World Government had been keeping it a secret. When he helped Teach fight the War of Interruption, the news was also suppressed. Although the ocean had a wide range of channels for transmitting information, only a limited number of people knew about these things.

As long as there is no corresponding written news newspaper, people will just treat it as a rumor.

After all, the resignation of a general is enough to spread various versions of rumors.

But this time it's different.

Even if they don't say it, Sag will tell it too. He is not the kind of person who hides things.

What's more, Kuzan himself is still a pirate instead of joining O'Hara.

We can only offer a reward and send him to the evil side.
Enough of the shame!

……

meeting room.

The king of navy meetings, who is more interested in PPT presentations than actual achievements, the meeting version of 'Green Bull' Brannew once again stood in front of the stage, his face under the sunglasses full of solemnity, facing the vice admirals who were sitting in two rows below with equally solemn expressions.

Although he is good at giving PPT presentations, he actually belongs to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and is not a naval commander. He is a criminal level assessor.

The Revolutionary Army caused unrest, and a large number of pirates from all over the world entered the Grand Line. He had held many meetings during this period to assess the danger of hundreds of millions of pirates, targeting naval officers with ranks ranging from colonel to vice admiral.

But every time there are meetings, there are only vice admirals present, which means that the person being talked about must be a big pirate.

Even the information they heard this time.
But there was no need for them to guess. Brannew turned on the video Den Den Mushi, and what immediately appeared was Blackbeard's bounty order.

"According to the intelligence received a few days ago, Blackbeard gathered 100,000 men in the new headquarters, not in the Blackbeard Kingdom, and fought a fierce battle with the Calamity Pirates, who had 30,000 men, and were defeated."

Brannew adjusted the image, drew a big red cross on it, and then transformed the image into a ruined fortress.

The familiar lieutenant generals saw that this was their original G1 fortress, but at this moment the fortress was almost broken into pieces. The only main area that could be considered large was covered with corpses with blood gushing from all their orifices.

And nearby, you can see several huge sea kings swimming around.

A sea king even jumped out of the water, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed up a fragmented island along with the corpse on it, and the movement caused huge waves.

"Including the prisoners selected by Impel Down, the pirates who entered the New World from the first half of the Grand Line, and Blackbeard's former subordinates, a total of 100,000 people. Except for a few people, no one is left. They all died here."

"Not only that, this sea area has also become an area where sea kings are active. It is now very dangerous. And the natural disasters are on the side."

Brannew was silent for a while, then slowly said, "According to intelligence, the casualties this time were no more than 2,000 people. This is a real victory!"

"Gudu——!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lieutenant generals swallowed in unison, their faces filled with fear.

Both of them are frequent commanders of naval battles and have fought in land battles. The casualty ratio between the navy and pirates has always been very high. The former has standardized training, consistent combat power and high discipline. Although the latter is unconventional, they are also full of cunning tactics and have rich combat experience. When a real battle breaks out, the more ruthless they can achieve a one-to-one casualty rate.

One hundred thousand against thirty thousand. No matter how weak one is, when the numbers count together, no matter how elite the other side is, they will suffer heavy losses.

Two thousand casualties
It's simply a myth!
"This time, the bounties of the main cadres and affiliated pirate groups of the Natural Disaster have all been increased by 100 million. I won't introduce these people because they are not the focus."

Brannew continued to operate the machine and directly released a bounty order for a melancholy middle-aged man wearing a monocle and a moustache.

"Let's talk about the Blackbeard Pirates. There are only three of them who joined the Calamity. The first one is Van Oka."

"He came from the East China Sea, with an initial bounty of 64 million Baileys. He was the former captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' third ship. Because he was not dangerous enough and we were distracted by the Revolutionary Army recently, we never noticed him."

"But now that he has been absorbed by the Scourge, as one of the three, we must re-evaluate the danger. The Scourge will not personally invite people for no reason, especially in this battlefield of annihilation. Those who can survive must be talented."

"As a sniper, Van Oka is just like those powerful men on the sea. He has strong observation and acumen, and is strong enough to support his sniping skills. He is also a user of the teleportation fruit, and can teleport anywhere within range. He is very mobile."

"He joined the Natural Disaster and will certainly take high-risk actions under the orders of the Natural Disaster. Considering that he was originally one of the captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, a bounty was set for him."

The photo suddenly changed. The original bounty did not disappear, but there was an extra '7' in front.

"Seven hundred and sixty-four million Baileys!"

No one was surprised by this number.

If it was a big pirate, it wouldn't be surprising to have a bounty of several hundred million.

"Next"

Brannew changed the photo again, replacing it with a face that everyone was somewhat familiar with, with a hard-contoured face and a cigar in his mouth wiping the blade.

"Ame no Shiryu, former warden of Impel Down, one of the three who joined the Scourge Pirates, former captain of the second ship of the Blackbeard Pirates. If that person is not counted, his strength should be the second most powerful person in the Blackbeard Pirates. The original bounty was 1.32 billion Baileys. This bounty is already high enough. No dangerous behavior has been found for the time being, so the bounty remains unchanged."

“There is one last person.”

Brannew pursed his lips, but then remembered something. When he changed the photo, a photo with a curly hair style flashed by, and then it turned into a photo of a woman with big wavy blonde hair and cold eyes.

"Biendetta Lily, an old acquaintance. She is the true number two of the Scourge Pirates. Whether it is the Three Phases or the 'Inner Three Phases' recognized by the Scourge Pirates, she is among them."

"Minister O'Hara, in charge of all internal affairs, Scourge's most trusted deputy. In that 'Kingdom War', he easily defeated Shiryu, and with his unparalleled leadership, he is feared by important citizens on the sea."

"The bounty we set for this Sword Princess is 2.2 billion berries. Even though it has only increased by 200 million, we must not underestimate her. She will surely make more dangerous moves in the future!"

"after."

Brannew sighed and resigned himself to reversing the bounty order. Amid the pale and even desperate eyes of many lieutenant generals, he put forward the face that they were very familiar with and had once respected.

"Former admiral of the navy, former captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' tenth ship, and the last of the three to join the Calamity, Aokiji Kuzan!"

Brannew said in a deep voice: "Four and a half billion Baileys!"
