Furthermore, the power of the Gluttony Fruit has also been revealed, indicating that not only is the Indian a smart man, but his combat strength is also quite formidable.

As Robert's most important right-hand man, A-San was involved in almost all the major events related to Robert. Although he often appeared behind the scenes in a logistical role, A-San was definitely the most important cadre in the newly established Thunder Department, without exception.

In conclusion, Raleigh, the God of Wealth, has a bounty of 2.63 billion Berries!

Life or death, it doesn't matter!

Chapter 11 Momonosuke must die!

When the last two wanted posters were placed in front of Robert, he chuckled. Everyone had been passing around the stack of wanted posters, and after Robert finished reading them, he handed them to the people around him. They took them and passed them around, and finally gave them to the person on the wanted poster as a souvenir.

After all, it was the first bounty offered after the new team was established, so it was quite memorable.

When Robert laughed, Karina, who was closest to him, immediately tilted her head to look and laughed along.

The wanted poster itself is definitely not problematic; the photo printed on it shows Master Redfield in an elegant pose, and the bounty is clearly stated as 50 billion Berries!

This amount was originally his bounty at his peak, but he was detained for a period of time and imprisoned in Impel Down for more than ten years.

So whether it's the fact that this lone red-haired man single-handedly fought against the entire Roger Pirates, or his glorious deeds such as defeating former Marine Admiral Kong and then fighting Garp for a long time before being captured due to exhaustion, these are almost forgotten in this information-saturated age.

Pirates who are captured, regardless of their previous bounty, will have their bounties revoked, and Redfield is no exception.

If Robert hadn't appeared, this elderly legendary pirate would have met Paton, fought a great battle with the Straw Hat Pirates, and eventually, after figuring things out, chose to wander the world.

If things had unfolded according to that timeline, the Navy wouldn't even have reassigned a bounty to him. After all, he was just an old man who had lost all ambition for power; what difference would it make if he were stronger?

However, Robert's arrival changed the course of events, and Redfield, as his and Karina's teacher, became deeply involved in the Raiden team's activities.

This newly created superpower has a veteran generation of super pirates in charge, a core force of the middle generation, and a young leader of the new generation at its head. It has gathered all the factors that make the World Government worry.

Therefore, it was imperative to re-offend the bounty on Redfield. More importantly, based on their limited understanding of him, the World Government discovered that he had actually rejuvenated.

Considering the fact that Robert and he had repeatedly summoned Devil Fruit users who should never have associated with them after they colluded with him, the Navy made a bold yet reasonable judgment!

Lone Red Baroque Redfield's Devil Fruit power is Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Tanuki Mode!

He used this fruit to replicate Law, the owner of the Op-Op Fruit, to perform an immortality surgery on himself, thus returning to his youthful physical state!

Decades of combat experience allow him to summon the Devil Fruit abilities of known masters in large numbers, granting him a youthful body and endless lifespan!

With these buffs stacked together, even the Navy felt he was becoming too troublesome!

Taking all factors into account, the bounty is set at 50 billion Berries!

Life or death, it doesn't matter!

Robert actually admired the Marines. After all, even with the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, it would take extremely keen insight to analyze the Tanuki form of the Devil Fruit from the slightest clues.

However, he couldn't help but laugh at the thought of his master staring at Padong with the same dark circles under his eyes.

Karina took her master's wanted poster, carefully put it away, and didn't show it to anyone else.

Robert only had one bounty left.

Before going to Whole Cake Island, Robert's bounty had just increased significantly, but the main reason for that was that he demonstrated a weapon that could flatten a small island with a single shot, coupled with the great melee in the Sabaody Archipelago, which raised the amount so much.

But now that Hela's secondary guns have been attributed to Baby-5, the question of whether Robert's bounty should be reduced has become a major issue.

Fortunately, Morgans tipped off the Navy, though he deliberately helped Robert pass on the message. This allowed the Navy to maintain Robert's bounty as the leader of the super pirate group Raibu, and even slightly increase it.

Lord of the Thunder Department, Robert D. Nilu: Logia-type Devil Fruit, Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

The de facto ruler of the notorious Raibu Pirates, whose crew has over 5 members and whose core territory is Fishman Island. The total bounty on the crew's officers exceeds 150 billion Berries!

He has committed numerous crimes on the scale of destroying nations, and his total bounty is 4.413 billion Berries!

Life or death, it doesn't matter!

After all, he defeated Charlotte Linlin in a head-on battle, so it would be unreasonable if his bounty was still lower than hers.

Moreover, given the current size of the Raibu Pirates, aside from occupying less land than the Big Mom Pirates, both the strength of their top leaders and the strength of their subordinates far surpass that of the Big Mom Pirates.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates back then didn't have such high bounties for their subordinates. Unbeknownst to many, the team built around Robert has actually reached this level.

The Straw Hat crew was also looking at the bounty posters. Everyone's bounty had increased, and they even had Jinbe, a former Shichibukai-level super helmsman, added to the list.

Except for Chopper, whose bounty remains dry, everyone else is all smiles.

However, compared to Lei Bu, everyone felt somewhat discouraged. Back then, Robert was just an ordinary person who managed to reach the Sky Island by hitching a ride on a boat, yet he reached his current level in just two years.

Only Luffy remained eager to fight, plotting how to improve his strength so he could have a serious battle with Robert.

It's not that Luffy doesn't consider Robert a friend, but the path he's on requires him to leave all other pirates behind in order to become the freest Pirate King on the high seas!

The massive fleets of the two superpowers sailed the seas, and both merchant ships and pirate ships along the way avoided them. Even the Big Mom Pirates, who had just suffered a great loss, did not send anyone to pursue them.

Luffy and his crew had formed a deep friendship with the Mink Tribe in Zou. Since Robert had taken the initiative to suggest meeting Kin'emon and the others, he simply contacted them beforehand via Den Den Mushi on the way.

Upon receiving the news, the Wool Principality did not wait for the super pirate crew to arrive in Zou, but instead gathered its fleet and took the initiative to meet them.

They had long heard of Robert's gang's reputation, and now, with the backing of the World Economic News and the Navy's bounty, they were even less inclined to let Robert lead his men onto Zulu's back.

When the fleet of the Wool Kingdom came head-on, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet deliberately broke away from the main fleet and began to turn to the side to indicate that it would not help either side, thus forming a three-way standoff at sea.

Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo stood at the bow of the ship, showing no fear whatsoever of Robert. Before the ship had even come to a complete stop, they shouted and questioned him:

"You're Robert D. Neru? The one who kidnapped Momonosuke?"

When they asked this question, even Luffy and his crew's expressions changed. Although they were somewhat unhappy when they learned that these people had concealed Momonosuke's identity, they had, after all, swore that Robert had kidnapped a seven or eight-year-old child.

Judging from what they're saying now, it seems they're not even sure if Robert actually kidnapped them!

Fortunately, Robert never intended to deny it: "Yes, I kidnapped Momonosuke."

Having received an affirmative answer, Kin'emon and the others immediately wanted to draw their swords, but then Robert continued:

"And I can tell you clearly, no matter who you bring in as your intermediary today, there is absolutely no way you will get them back!"

"I was being merciful by not killing him. If it were me with that explosive temper I had in sixth grade, Momonosuke would have been squeezed into peach juice and boiled by now!"

Chapter 12 Luo Banxian's Ironclad Predictions!

These samurai from Wano Country were all loyal to their respective allies. Even Kanjuro, who was an undercover agent, was not disloyal. He was just loyal to the Kurozumi family from beginning to end, since his real name was Kurozumi Kanjuro.

A group of people who are willing to travel 20 years into the future to continue their mission for the sake of their loyalty have basically put their own life, death, honor, and disgrace aside. All they care about is the obsession with completing the mission.

Upon hearing Robert's almost provocative words, Kin'emon flew into a rage, drew his katana, and prepared to fight Robert to the death.

However, at this time, the two sides were still several hundred meters apart and confronted each other. If Robert hadn't used the resonance of lightning to make the sound travel throughout the sea, the other side wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

Seeing the samurai's agitated state, the Mink Tribe behind them also began to rub their hands together in anticipation. Robert, unwilling to put Luffy and Law in a difficult position, ordered his crew to find a deserted island to dock. They needed to have a face-to-face exchange to establish a proper confrontation; he couldn't just attack unilaterally, or he would be bullying them.

On a deserted island less than ten acres in size, without a single tree, a group of pirates worth over 10 billion have gathered.

Robert only took Ace and Law to the island, while the Straw Hat crew, except for Franky and Brook who stayed on the ship, all came along.

As for the samurai of Wano Country, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo all came to the island, accompanied by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, the two leaders of the furry principality, to show their support.

Seeing that neither of the two Mink Tribe leaders was injured, Robert knew that he had changed the plot and that Kaido hadn't sent Jack the Drought to attack them, so the two hadn't become disabled.

Upon their first meeting, Kin'emon immediately drew his sword and charged at Robert.

Given Robert's current status, it would be beneath him to fight Kin'emon. He didn't even need to lift a finger; Robert simply snapped his fingers, and Kin'emon was instantly cut into seven or eight pieces.

Seeing that Luo had dismembered Kin'emon with a single move, Kanjuro and Raizo were shocked. A moment later, they rushed forward to avenge their comrade.

Although Kanjuro was an undercover agent sent by the Kurozumi family to infiltrate the Kozuki clan, he had worked with the other members of the Nine Red Scabbards for many years and had developed feelings for them. At this moment, seeing Kin'emon die tragically in front of him, he instantly put his own life aside and only thought about fighting for his comrade.

Luo sighed, pulled the Ghost Cry sword he was holding from its sheath a short distance, and the other two warriors were also cut into pieces, their momentum coming to an abrupt halt.

Only then did they realize that although they were decapitated, they were not dead, and their other companions were also floating in mid-air in a strange manner, unable to move.

If they still don't realize at this point that their strength is far inferior to their opponent's, to the point that the opponent can render them helpless with a simple snap of their fingers, then they might as well give up.

Robert waved to Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who were already arching their backs and baring their teeth in a pouncing motion. Their bodies froze in place, their faces showing shock.

The Mink Tribe are all masters of electricity, and fighting using static electricity generated by the friction of their fur has become instinctive for them. Now, with Robert waving his hand, they can't even move a little finger. They immediately realize that this is caused by controlling the current.

Everyone on the other side passively calmed down, and Robert began to explain his point of view:

“Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, you both used to be on Daddy’s ship. Others may not know your identities, but we know them very well.”

"Let me ask you a question first: are you representing the Fuzzy Principality today, or are you simply speaking to me as the Nine Crimson Heroes?"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi gritted their teeth: "What's the difference?!"

Robert shook his head: "Of course there is a difference. You two were stranded in Wano Country back then and received kindness from Kozuki Oden, but the entire Mink Tribe has no connection with Kozuki Oden. It's just that Wano Country and the Mink Tribe fought side by side a few hundred years ago."

"It's fine if you two swear allegiance to the Kozuki family and are willing to sacrifice your lives, but are you sure you want to drag the entire Mink Clan into this?"

"Have you considered that I am, after all, the leader of the Thunder Department? If you attack me, you are slapping the face of the entire Thunder Department."

"I can represent the Thunder Tribe, but can you represent the entire Mink Tribe?"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were relatively simple-minded and were easily persuaded by Robert with just a few words: "We are only representing ourselves! If you want revenge, kill the two of us! It has nothing to do with the Mink Tribe."

Robert nodded: "You two do have some sense of responsibility. As for Kin'emon, I'm asking you now, what's your stance?"

"Are you merely a retainer of the Kozuki clan, here to demand your young lord, or do you wish to represent the entire Wano Country?"

Kin'emon shouted, "So you really knew the young master's identity!"

Robert shrugged: "I know more than you think, including the fact that you were sent from 20 years ago to the present by Lady Toki using her Devil Fruit powers, and also..."

Robert glanced at Kanjuro, who had been cut into several pieces and was floating in mid-air, completely unable to move: "Your brother Kanjuro is a spy sent by Kurozumi Orochi to infiltrate the Kozuki family..."

Before Robert could finish speaking, Kanjuro burst into a tirade: "Don't try to sow discord between us! I'm a samurai who has served Lord Oden for many years! You can kill me! But you can't tarnish my reputation!"

Kin'emon and the others also shouted that they didn't believe it; of course, they wouldn't believe Robert, whom they had just met.

Robert chuckled and waited for them to finish venting before slowly saying, "Kurozumi Kanjuro, you are actually a very good artist, but in order to hide your identity, you pretended to be left-handed and always drew with your non-dominant left hand, which is why you drew so many ugly things."

"The reason you pledged allegiance to Kurozumi Orochi is quite simple: your parents were murdered, so when you heard that Kurozumi Orochi had executed the murderer of your parents, you swore allegiance to him."

“You were originally a member of a branch family of the Kurozumi clan. It was Kurozumi Orochi who found you first, and that's why you were sent by him to follow Kozuki Oden.”

Do I need to say anything else?

Kanjuro's face was extremely pale. Even though he had spent his entire life acting, he was still terrified when his biggest secret was suddenly revealed.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Robert secretly gave him an order by shaking the thunder and lightning.

Luo Xin understood immediately and suddenly released his control over Kanjuro. With a flash of his foot, he swung his sword and slashed at Kanjuro's neck!
