Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Some people even think it's a bit too exaggerated?

"original?"

Some naval personnel realized something from Brannew's words: "What did Rear Admiral Brannew originally mean?"

"That's right, originally!"

"880 million peles is not the limit of their power, and it does not explain their ferocity."

Brannew paused for a moment and said, "But we need to consider the feelings of ordinary civilians on the high seas. We can't spread the news that Instructor Zephyr and the black-haired swordsman fought to a draw, as that would cause panic."

"Therefore... under the decision of the Sengoku period commander, the exorbitant figure of 880 million Berries was removed, and the bounty for the 'Black-Haired Swordsman' was set at 450 million Berries..."

Brannew slammed Rocks' new bounty on the whiteboard—"Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks, bounty of 450 million Berries!

"Eighty-eight hundred million berries is not enough to illustrate the ferocity of the other side, a point that all the generals attending the high-level meeting agreed on."

Brannew continued, "That's what makes 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks so terrifying!"

Brannew took a deep breath and emphasized again, "But raising the bounty too much all at once will plunge the seas into panic, which is something the Navy doesn't want to see..."

These words made everyone in the room suddenly realize the truth, and they all nodded in agreement.

If the value suddenly increased from 130 million Berries to 880 million Berries, it would indeed cause panic among ordinary people.

Unless everything that happened in Alabasta is revealed, raising the bounty too much all at once would be confusing.

But the Navy has many things to consider, and some things need to be kept secret.

This is for the sake of the Navy's prestige.

Those present expressed their understanding and agreement with the Warring States Marshal's decision...

Brannew slowly said, "I suppose you all heard what I just said? Yes, during the battle with the black-haired swordsman, Instructor Zephyr learned more about him."

"The black-haired swordsman's real name is Rocks!"

The name of Lox was spoken.

But everyone present maintained a solemn and serious expression.

It is clear that the meaning of this name is not very clear.

The naval officers in this meeting room are all from the new generation of naval personnel, mostly major generals.

They did not experience the era when the Rocks Seafaring F roamed the seas.

Furthermore, information about the name Lox has long been erased, and only a few older people know the meaning of the name.

These relatively young naval commanders were unaware of the name Rocks!

"Although the other party remains mysterious, we will eventually find out everything about them."

"A name is just the beginning."

Brannew said in a deep voice, "We will know everything about their abilities, their background, their purpose, and their allies!"

"No matter how vicious the enemy is, our navy will not be defeated, and justice will surely sweep away all evil!"

"Whether it's 'Fire Fist' Ace or 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks, they will all be brought to justice!"

"These bounty notices are just the beginning. They are not intended to embolden these criminals, but simply to ensure that the world remembers the extent of their cruelty!"

"We, the navy, have only one option: to do everything in our power to capture these vicious criminals as quickly as possible and completely eliminate their threat!"

Brannew's words lingered in the meeting room for a long time.

The expressions of the naval personnel present were all grave...

……

Night was falling.

Somewhere in the New World, in the same hemisphere as the Naval Headquarters.

At this time, the World Economic News received documents from liaisons of the World Government and the Navy...

This document contains the latest bounty and some of the events that have occurred, and it needs to be published in the World Economic News newspaper.

certainly.

Some things are "embellished and beautified".

By the time the information reached Morgons, its accuracy had changed...

Morgons glanced at the document and couldn't help but curl his lip: "Tch, the World Government and the Navy are still handling things the same way. Are they planning to cover up what happened in Zefa?"

"This won't do! Everyone on this vast ocean should have the right to know!"

Humans are all hypocritical, and so are bird people.

He may exaggerate the facts of an event based on his own subjective will or in order to attract attention.

But it was his decision, and they were all harmless matters.

Regarding breaking news, Mooreguns stated that he still maintains strong principles.

You can exaggerate to grab attention, but you absolutely cannot fabricate anything.

Did others want him to publish embellished "fake news"?

This won't do!

Especially when he knows the truth and the whole story.

Even if he didn't know the specifics of what happened, he could publish the newspaper according to the client's requirements in order to make it a bestseller on the high seas.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

The current situation is that Mooreguns knows more details and more specific information.

The world government and navy even asked him to publish "fake news"?

Morgons was not happy about that.

That's so insulting!

Chapter 106 The news spread far and wide, and the sea trembled!

"The Black-Haired Swordsman Rocks, with a bounty of 450 million Berries?"

Then Morgons picked up the brand-new bounty poster and began to read it.

He curled his lip again: "If we ignore the Zephyr incident, and just consider killing a Shichibukai, then it's about right..."

Morgons, who knows what's happening in Alabasta.

I think the 450 million Berry bounty is too little compared to what "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks has done.

How can someone who fought a former Navy Admiral to a standstill only be worth this much?

It's worth at least seven or eight hundred million Berries!

The Navy always likes to hide the truth for the sake of saving face...

"Huh? Wait! Rocks!?"

Morgons suddenly noticed something, his gaze fixed intently on that name…

"This name... Hiss! No... No way, this name would actually reappear one day?"

Morgons' pupils contracted.

As a veteran journalist, he was naturally familiar with the name "Lox"...

"This wanted poster and this name alone are big news, not to mention... the person with this name has done something even more sensational!"

"This is going to be amazing! Hahaha, you want me to follow your script? No way! That would be enough to shake the ocean, but it wouldn't be explosive enough!"

Morgons' eyes gleamed: "Trying to cover up the truth? Dream on!"

He did not intend to follow the documents given to him by the World Government and the Navy.

He wanted to write the article himself and expose everything that was happening in Alabasta.

With this name and this incident, Mooreguns had a premonition—this newspaper would definitely ignite the entire ocean!

Morgons waved his hand and laughed loudly as he ordered his men, "Hey, guys, get your spirits up!"

"Now comes our battle: get the newspaper published before tomorrow!"

"The truth! We must spread the truth about what happened in Alabasta!"

"That's precisely the purpose of establishing our World Economic News: to let everyone know what's happening on this ocean!"

"Have everyone in all the branches get ready for me."

"Once I finish the first draft, I will do everything I can to reproduce and print it, spreading this world-shaking newspaper across the entire ocean in the shortest possible time!"

"The Four Seas, the First Half, the New World—all places inhabited by humans must be delivered to me by tomorrow. This is not a notice, this is an order!"

……

the next day.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the staff at the World Economic News, the latest issue of the newspaper was finally published.

The World Economic News's branches across the sea began to go all out to reprint and publish the newspaper in large quantities...

Then, a group of energetic male companions were sent to deliver the newspaper to all parts of the world.

This newspaper spread throughout the world in just half a day.

Because of its sensational headline, the newspaper quickly sold out...

All over the world.

Countless people were stunned and lost in thought after seeing the newspaper.

Finally, a series of exclamations and incredulous shouts erupted!

The entire ocean was shaken by this newspaper, and towering waves surged forth...

……

An island in the East China Sea.

"Stealing a young man!?"

Old Duke stared at the brand-new bounty poster, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets: "Four hundred and fifty million Berries? The second bounty has increased that much? It's doubled!"

"What earth-shattering thing did that kid Rocks do? Did he wipe out one of the member states in one fell swoop?"

Old Duke certainly didn't think Rocks would do such a heinous thing.

He knew that Rocks had a bottom line and wouldn't do something like indiscriminately killing innocent people.

It was just a random, surprised rant...

"It can't just be because of the name 'Rocks,' can it? That's possible. The name has a lot of 'power,' so adding a hundred or two hundred million Berries to the bounty wouldn't be unreasonable..."

Old Duke muttered to himself, put down the bounty poster, and looked at the newspaper.

"What?! Killed Crocodile? And he went toe-to-toe with 'Black Arm' Zephyr? What's going on?"

Upon seeing this, old Duke's mouth gaped open.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "How long has this kid been at sea? And he's already able to compete with a former admiral?"

"Could this be a fake newspaper?!"

No wonder he was surprised.

As a former member of the Lokes Shopping Club, even if it was just wiping the floor.

It's impossible that he didn't know what "Black Wrist" Zephyr represented...

Former Admiral of the Naval Headquarters! Former top combatant of the Naval Headquarters!

In the Navy, he's comparable to powerhouses like Sengoku and Garp; in the Navy, he's considered one of the three legendary Marines: Jet Li, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion.

And then you say your kid not only killed Crocodile, but also fought "Black Arm" Zeff without being at a disadvantage?

"They even have photos... damn, they're actually real?"

The newspaper had a photo of Rocks and Zefa fighting, which completely shocked old Duke.
