No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

Chapter 190 The Man with a Hundred Billion Bounty

"Hmm... although in terms of physique and demeanor, there is indeed a significant difference compared to the demons of yesteryear!"

"But that face is just too similar... I'm thinking of reporting this directly to the government and making sure they take this seriously... maybe even reinstate the bounty..."

"To warn the world of the dangers of evil spirits... this time the bounty should be at least 90 billion Berries... maybe even exceeding 100 billion Berries..."

Kong Gu silently stared at the photo that the CP organization had taken on Arkas Island.

He said this with a somewhat melancholy and lost expression.

As the current Marshal of the Navy Headquarters.

He also participated in the God Valley Incident and the defense of Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

Of course, he was fully aware of the enormous impact that the reappearance of a man like Rahu in this world would have!

After all, that guy was a terrifying man who once had a bounty of over 60 billion Berries on his head!

He was the only member of the Rocks Pirates, who was once known as the most ferocious crew in history, to be recognized by Rocks as being at the level of two captains!

Even in his short pirate career of just a few years.

The number of naval soldiers, CP agents, officers and generals killed by Luo Hou has approached 100,000 or even more!

What's even more terrifying is that this evil spirit seems to be born without any fear.

Even figures like the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles whom the World Government explicitly forbids from being touched.

More than 50,000 were killed!

The noble gods were like lambs to the slaughter before him, easily killed at his mercy!

This terrifying aura of slaughter and the influence of this individual are far greater than those of the so-called great pirates of this era!

If this guy decides to gather power...

It is highly likely that another massive war will be launched, one that could engulf the entire world!

"100 billion Berries... That's an outrageous amount, but it certainly befits a demon..."

"However, let's wait until the matter is investigated thoroughly before making any plans..."

"As for the government, I think we can go and negotiate first, remind the higher-ups to pay attention to this kind of incident, and then we can talk about it further."

It seemed that the incident was very likely to become a real horrific event.

Even Chief of Staff Tsuru, known for his wisdom, was momentarily at a loss for what to do...

The meeting, which was held only among the senior management, quickly came to an end amidst whispers and discussions.

All the admirals and above left the conference room with heavy hearts.

The last two people to leave were Marshal Sorako and Chief of Staff Sorako.

The two walked silently down the street in the headquarters.

Just then, a youthful and beautiful figure dressed in a naval officer's uniform cloak strode over to the two of them, leaving a trail of fragrance in her wake.

"Greetings, Marshal Kong!"

Her clear, youthful voice rang out.

Kong Gu looked back in confusion.

The next moment, he quickly realized that the naval rear admiral standing in front of him was Chief of Staff Tsuru's adopted younger sister from many years ago.

"Oh, it's Gion... It's been so long! You've grown so much taller. In a few years, you might even surpass Marshal Kong!"

Kong Gu smiled and made a slight joke.

These young people, including Sakazuki, are the future backbone of the Navy Headquarters.

"You guys talk first, I have something to do at the government office..."

Sora, who was able to reach the position of Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, was certainly not a fool.

It was obvious that Gion had come specifically to pick up his sister. How could an old man who was already middle-aged or even elderly continue to be a third wheel here?

Kong Gu simply made up an excuse and disappeared from the spot in a few flashes.

Gion, brimming with youthful energy and exuding the aura of a young girl, watched Marshal Kūko depart with her large, bright eyes.

He turned to look at his god-sister.

"Sister He, who was that person that Marshal Kong was talking about in the meeting just now?"

"How can he be so powerful? He even dared to kill a Celestial Dragon? Sister Tsuru, have you ever seen this person? Is he a real, powerful being?"

In an instant, a series of questions were thrown out!

At this moment, Gion was extremely curious, her curiosity like an itchy spot, and she desperately wanted to know about this hidden historical figure!

The age of the peach rabbit should be not much different from that of the crane, at most ten years younger.

Her looks are alright, not worse than other female pirates.

The fact that he was able to become a candidate admiral in the future shows that he is indeed capable; it's just that he wasn't promoted due to factional differences within the Navy.

......

Chapter 191 Curious Gion

Gion's words had barely faded when...

The fear that had just faded from Staff Officer He's face reappeared.

"How did you find out about this? This meeting should only be open to marines of the rank of lieutenant general or higher..."

"Besides, knowing too much isn't good for your future development."

Staff Officer He was somewhat helpless with his mischievous god-sister.

The headquarters had already stipulated the rank and grade of military personnel participating in the meeting.

But Gion always manages to find a way to get a sliver of information out of him.

Most importantly, Staff Officer Tsuru did not want to transfer his fear of that man to Gion!

"Wow, Sister Tsuru, although Admiral Kong said that only Navy officers of the rank of Vice Admiral or above could participate in the meeting, he didn't say that those below the rank of Vice Admiral couldn't go!"

"If the law doesn't forbid it, then it's permissible. Besides, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose; I just happened to pass by and overheard a pinch~"

Gion waved her hand playfully and put on a truly innocent expression in front of Tsuru-neechan.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer He was speechless.

Could this little guy have acted any worse?

I really don't want to ignore this, since I'm supposed to be playing along!

"That man's name is Rahu... He was born on an island in the latter half of the Grand Line... His highest bounty in history was over 60 billion Berries!"

"Moreover, this great pirate Rahu is not only proficient in all three types of Haki, physical skills, swordsmanship, and hand-to-hand combat, but he is also the only person in the world with an extraordinary number of Devil Fruit abilities!"

"He's also a terrifying man whom the World Government itself nicknamed 'Demon'..."

Staff Officer He spoke in a low voice about his impression of Rahu.

The terrifying scenes of sweeping through armies and leaving rivers of blood in their wake in every battle!

Wherever that man appears.

Without exception, a terrible war will break out!

This resulted in a large number of casualties!

However, after summarizing the experiences of so many wars, Staff Officer He gradually discovered a pattern.

Rahu generally doesn't take drastic measures against the lower-ranking naval soldiers.

However, even so, if their naval officers and soldiers blocked Rahu's path...

Well... unfortunately, the other side won't hold back either!

In Rahu's belief, anyone who stands in his way is a hindrance!

Then they are enemies that must be killed!

No matter who it is! No matter what their status is!

Therefore, after gaining experience in commanding numerous wars, Staff Officer He has developed a set of highly applicable methods.

That is, any war in which Rahu is involved.

Then she can do her best to command the naval soldiers and keep them away from that man!

To avoid causing more unnecessary casualties!

"Proficient in all three types of Haki, skilled in physical combat, swordsmanship, and hand-to-hand fighting? And also a multiple Devil Fruit user???"

"Could it be that he has already reached the standard of our Navy Headquarters' highest combat power admiral?"

As Gion counted her slender white fingers one by one, the more she counted, the more she realized something was wrong.

According to what Sister Crane said.

Isn't that Rahu guy a true all-around master?

A man who can learn anything is so cool!

Young Gion looked at Tsuru with a gleam in her eyes, eager to know more about the powerful figures of the old era.

Although Gion is just a young man now, he has been working in the Navy Headquarters for many years.

She also knew more or less about the nature of the world government and its high-ranking political figures.

Many times, they have distorted historical facts!
