The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 299: Taking advantage of others
The first time a bounty was offered, the reward was as high as 20 billion berries, which was unprecedented in the history of the entire ocean.

You know, in the past, even those pirates who committed many heinous crimes and overthrew several countries would probably find it difficult to get such a high bounty.

If it was just to overthrow a country, it would definitely not be worth such a sky-high bounty.

So, those sharp-minded and smart guys on the sea know very well that something earth-shattering must have happened behind this, which made the world government offer such a high reward.

This time, the world government has blocked the news so tightly that it is airtight.

Even Morgans, who was the most well-informed and always managed to dig up all kinds of exclusive and explosive news at the first opportunity, did not receive any definite news this time.

However, Morgans is, after all, a veteran in the news industry with many years of experience. With his rich experience and keen intuition, he has some guesses of his own.

So, after much deliberation, Morgans decided to call Weiss's Den Den Mushi to sound him out and see if he could dig out some big news.

"Broo~Broo~"

The Den Den Mushi rang, its unique sound echoing in the silent room.

"Cach~"

The Den Den Mushi was connected, and a sound of howling wind came from inside. At the same time, the anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi also imitated the appearance of Wes.

"What do you want from me?"

Weiss's voice came out from the Den Den Mushi, and it still sounded so calm, without any ripples.

"Hahaha~ I just want to tell you something. The World Government has put a bounty on your head. The bounty is 20 billion berries!! This is unprecedented!!"

Morgans said excitedly, his voice unconsciously rising a few degrees due to excitement.

In his opinion, this is definitely a huge piece of news.

"Yeah."

Weiss's response was very flat, as if he heard something insignificant and didn't take it to heart at all.

In his eyes, the actions of the World Government, such as bounties, were nothing more than minor incidents that could not affect him at all.

"As expected of you, what happened?"

Morgans asked curiously, and he became more certain in his heart that Weiss must have done something big this time to cause the World Government to make such a big fuss.

"Nothing, just took Vegapunk away."

Weiss said this lightly, as if the person being taken away wasn't the genius scientist who was crucial to the World Government.

"This is amazing." Morgans couldn't help but admire.

Now he finally understood why he couldn't receive any news at all. After all, the Vegapunk incident was too complicated, and the World Government must have tried every means to cover up the news.

Morgans rolled his eyes and calculated rapidly in his mind.

He knew in his heart that if this matter was reported, not to mention whether the World Government would cause trouble for him, it would be difficult to explain the source of the information.

Besides, if you piss off Wes, you won't be able to get any exclusive news from him in the future.

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of reporting this matter.

"It just so happens that I need your help with something."

Morgans felt that keeping in touch with Weiss was the most important thing right now. Perhaps he could get more big news from him in the future. So, without hesitation, he agreed to help Weiss and take this opportunity to get closer to him.

"Ha~ha, no problem." Morgans said with a hearty laugh, with a hint of flattery in his laughter.

"Where are you now?"

Morgans continued to ask, thinking that if he knew where Wes was, it would be easier to contact him if anything happened in the future.

"West Sea, the Land of Flowers."

Weiss spoke slowly, while slowly looking up at the distant sky.

At this moment, he was standing steadily on a vast ice field. The ice field was like a huge mirror. Under the generous sunlight, it was shining with an extremely dazzling and brilliant light. The light almost stung people's eyes, but it was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.

And just beneath the indestructible ice field, there are countless treasures piled up densely.

The treasures were in various shapes, some were carefully packed in beautifully crafted boxes, the patterns and decorations on the boxes all showed their preciousness and extraordinaryness;

Some are scattered randomly among the ice layers. Even though they are not deliberately placed, they still emit an extremely attractive light.

This is the famous Baoyu Ice Cap, the location of the treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Babao Navy, carrying the huge wealth they have accumulated over hundreds of years.

The ice on this ice field is indestructible and its strength is beyond imagination. Even if a powerful cannon bombards it with full force, it cannot leave even the slightest trace of damage on it.

In the tradition of the Eight Treasures Navy, only the leader of each generation, relying on his own superb domineering cultivation, combined with the unique Eight Chong Fist technique, can open the jade ice cover that guards the treasure.

The leader of this generation is none other than the great pirate Qingjiao, who is also quite famous on the sea.

Back then, the steel-hard cone head of the green pepper was his proud weapon. With the help of this cone head, he was able to gain the upper hand in countless battles.

However, in a fierce battle with Garp, his proud cone head was flattened by Garp's hammer. Since then, he has been unable to use his own strength to open the precious ice cover.

Because of this, all the accumulation of the Eight Treasures Navy over hundreds of years has now been taken advantage of by Weiss.

Weiss slowly raised his hands, and then gently separated them. An invisible yet extremely powerful force instantly surged out from his hands.

The jade ice cap that had seemed indestructible actually cracked slowly like fragile glass, with cracks gradually spreading out until it shattered completely, revealing the mountains of treasures inside.

Those treasures shone even more brilliantly under the sunlight.

A huge black hole appeared without warning, and the hole looked like the bottomless mouth of a giant beast.

A shockingly powerful suction force surged out from the black hole, like a hungry prehistoric beast madly devouring everything.

The treasures that were originally scattered on the ice field and shining with attractive light were instantly swept up by the suction force and flew towards the black hole.

They gathered in the air to form an extremely spectacular scene. Looking from a distance, it looked like a giant golden tornado was raging and swirling. The bright golden light was even more dazzling under the sunlight, forming a sharp and strange contrast with the black cave entrance.

The suction continued to work, and it took a full half hour before all the treasures were sucked away without a trace left.

The treasures that were once piled up like mountains and shining brightly disappeared completely, without leaving even the slightest trace, as if they had never existed there.

After all the treasures were sucked away, Weiss calmly clasped his hands together slowly.

The precious jade ice cover that he had broken and was now empty, began to slowly recover as if it was gently stroked by an invisible big hand.

The ice layer on the ice cap quickly spread and spliced together, and soon it regained its previous indestructible appearance.
However, now it no longer contains the precious treasures that had been accumulated for hundreds of years, leaving only silence and emptiness.
