Chapter 271 An Unprecedented Bounty: The World's Most Vicious Pirate!
Seven days after the Sabaody Archipelago incident.
Somewhere along the Grand Line, at the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency—
"President, President Morgans~~ A liaison from the World Government!"
"Come in!"
"President, Den Den Mushi!"
Morgans didn't even look up, gesturing for his men to put down the Den Den Mushi before taking the receiver.
"Hey! Who is it? I'm busy right now, the news from Sabaody Archipelago is about to be released—"
"I am Spandam." The Den Den Mushi looked up arrogantly.
Spandam —
Morgans put down his brush, looked at the Den Den Mushi, and frowned.
"Hey CP's hound leader, what do you want? Didn't I already tell you?"
"I'm a journalist, and I would never report fake news!"
"No, this incident is extremely urgent."
The Den Den Mushi's expression turned serious: "Next, I will convey the Five Elders' order, which concerns an incident related to the Beast Pirates' Calamity General, Lord Yamata no Bazel."
"These are the Five Elders' exact words—"
[Define Bazel as the world's most vicious pirate!!]
[Bounty: 4.93 billion Berries. Anyone who captures Bazel alive and hands him over to the World Government!]
The World Government has allowed them to become part of the Creators! Their kingdom and sphere of influence enjoy the same treatment as the Celestial Dragons!
4.93 billion Pelés!?
boom--!
The chair fell to the ground, and Morgans stood up in disbelief.
"The world's most vicious pirate?! Are you kidding me? A bounty of that level in Berries—how is that possible?!"
"How could he possibly be—this bounty is higher than that of the Beasts Pirates' captain!"
"What on earth happened? Why did Bazel's bounty suddenly increase so much!?"
"—This is none of your business. The massacre at Sabaody Archipelago is entirely blamed on the great pirate Bazel!"
The Den Den Mushi's gaze suddenly sharpened: "Don't try to find out what happened, unless you want to be among those purged from Sabaody Archipelago, Morgans."
"Remember, you just need to do as you're told. This isn't a discussion, it's a notification."
"The five adults said that if you don't listen, the World Economic News Agency has no reason to exist."

The Den Den Mushi was abruptly hung up.
Morgans stared at the Den Den Mushi for a long time, unable to come to his senses, as various clues flashed through his mind.
Seven days ago, Bazel appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago. After eliminating the slave traders, he fought a great battle with a mysterious powerful figure. The outcome of the battle is unknown.
However, at dawn the following day, the World Government dispatched the Navy and agents to "clean up" Tree Area 1.
The entire No Man's Land zone in Zone 1 was completely sealed off, and the lockdown lasted for a full three days.
Within these three days, even his messenger gulls would be shot dead by agents if they passed by.
When the lockdown finally ended, his reporters risked their lives to infiltrate the area, only to find the entire lawless zone deserted.
There aren't even a single Den Den Mushi, let alone people.
Aside from the bloodstains everywhere, there were signs of a struggle and battle.
On the contrary, gold and pesos, those things that used to dazzle people, were carelessly discarded like garbage.
"What on earth happened?!"
Morgans staggered to the vicinity of the information board, muttering to himself like a madman.
Why did the World Government seal off the No Man's Land at Tree One?
"Why pin everything on Bazel, and that title of the world's most vicious pirate—"
'
"That's an achievement even Rocks couldn't accomplish—"
"What exactly did Bazel do? Why would the Five Elders personally order this?"
"Why, why!?"
Bang--!!
The blackboard, covered with various intelligence reports, was punched through, and Morgans's bird-like eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
"hateful!!"
"What exactly was missed? Could it be that Bazel saw something he shouldn't have seen?!"
After walking back to his desk and taking out a Den Den Mushi, Morgans suddenly regained his composure.
Unable to contact!
The world government is now absolutely monitoring his every move!
If they discover that we are trying to uncover the truth, we will be ruthlessly eliminated!
"Navy, yes! I can contact the Navy!!"
"Increasing the bounty requires contacting the Navy; perhaps I can steal some intelligence from them!"
Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~
Snap—
"Who is it?"
Sengoku's calm voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
Morgans picked up the microphone: "It's me, General Morgans of the Sengoku Period!"
'
The Den Den Mushi remained silent for a few moments. "I know what you want to ask, but I've been warned not to mention anything related to that incident."
"Morgons, stop calling our Navy's Den Den Mushi."
"Do as the Five Elders say; there is no room for discussion on this matter."
The moment the words left her lips, the Den Den Mushi was disconnected.
"Something really bad has happened!!"
After receiving intelligence that even the general had been warned, Morgans became even more certain of his suspicions.
Bazel must have seen, known, or encountered something they didn't know!
Otherwise, the World Government and the Navy would not have thoroughly cleaned up Tree 1!
"In that case, let me see what you're planning to do!"
Pushing aside the rest of the documents on the table, Morgans began rewriting the latest intelligence on Bazel.
"4.93 billion, wow, this bounty will definitely cause a sensation at sea, hahaha~~"
i
'
"Let me, Morgans, add another layer of oil to this bustling sea!"
A glint of madness flashed in Morgans' eyes as he picked up the brush to write.
"Who do you think I am? I'm Morgans, the King of News!!"
"Since you want to hide the truth, I'll give the imagination back to the sea and let them guess what Bazel has discovered!!"
"Five Elders, World Government, Navy, prepare for the most exciting new era ever!"
"Heh heh heh heh!!!"
The ninth day after the Sabaody Archipelago incident.
Newspaper-delivering seagulls flew across the sky, dropping free newspapers onto the sea before quickly flying away.
"~Morgans, that stingy guy, actually gives away newspapers for free."
The Moby Dick, lingering in the first half of the Grand Line—
Marco picked up the newspaper that had been left on the deck.
But before he could even look at it, a golden wanted poster slipped out.
"What is this?!?!"
"Hey, Dad!"
"Something terrible has happened!!!"
Marco stumbled and staggered to his father's side.
"Bazaar, Bazel's bounty! Look at it!!"
"What's the big deal? That kid must have done something weird again."
The white-bearded man initially remained calm upon receiving the bounty, but after counting the zeros, his brows gradually furrowed.
"Give me the newspaper!"
"What happened, Baiji?"
Kozuki Oden walked over curiously and picked up the wanted poster.
"One zero, two zeros—!!!"
"4.93 billion Berry!?"
Kozuki Oden's exclamation attracted the attention of the entire group.
Meanwhile, the white-bearded man, who was flipping through the newspaper, had a gloomy expression.
[#The World's Most Dangerous Pirate - Bazel! Bounty: 4.93 Billion Berries!]
[#The vanished lawless zone, the madness of world destruction, the revenge of Lord Yamata no Bazel!]
In the new era after the disappearance of Lox D. Giebeck, the sea has finally welcomed an even crazier man!
! ]
[#Top Wanted Notice from the World Government! What has become of Lord Yamata no Bazel?]
"49 billion Berries, Baiji, that's about the same as your bounty, isn't it!?"
The white-bearded man didn't answer; he just kept flipping through the newspaper.
"—Marco!"
"Dad!" Marco stood before the white-bearded man, awaiting orders.
"Let's go back to the new world!"
Whitebeard put down his newspaper and said in a deep voice, "I've changed my mind. The Whitebeard Pirates are preparing to attend that grand banquet."
"I'm going to go and find out for myself what that man is doing!"
The newspaper fell onto the chair, and Teach, who was hiding to the side, sneaked over and began to read the contents of the newspaper.
"A man even crazier than Rocks?!"
Upon seeing this news, Teach's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.
"Teach, get ready for the big battle."
Satching the newspaper from Teach's hand, Sachs smiled as he read the contents.
"I don't know why Dad changed his mind, but—oh!! That guy caused quite a commotion!"
"That birdman Morgans actually called him a man who surpassed Lox!"
"No wonder Dad changed his mind, Dad!"
"What's wrong, Sachi?"
Sachi waved the newspaper in his hand: "That man shouldn't be this crazy, otherwise Roger wouldn't have approved of him."
"I know without you telling me!"
Whitebeard's reply sounded somewhat annoyed.
He knew what kind of person Locke was, and he also knew what kind of person Bazel was.
It was precisely because he knew this that he was unwilling to believe what was reported in the newspapers.
Even crazier than Rocks?!
"I don't acknowledge that bounty, nor do I acknowledge the story described above!"
"That brat Bazel definitely knows something that neither I nor Roger know!"
Walking to the side of the boat, Edward Newgate tried to let the waves of the sea carry away his inner turmoil.
That man was just like Rocks back then. Rocks was also targeted by certain forces after he learned about something.
What did they know, and what did they see?
He slammed his fist against the side of the boat.
Upon seeing this, Marco stopped his companion from going forward to ask what was happening.
"Let Dad have some peace and quiet. If he wants to talk to us, he will tell us later."
"Oden, you too, don't disturb Father until he calms down."
Kozuki Oden nodded: "I understand, but that guy's bounty is really high."
Meanwhile, the new world—
On the Oro Jackson, which was sailing away from Thunder Isle, Bucky's exclamation also drew the attention of his compatriots.
"Captain Roger, Captain Roger!!"
"This is big news! Bazel's bounty is higher than yours!"
"What did you say?!"
Roger walked out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth and foam on his lips.
(òωÓ")!!
"49 billion?! What did that bastard do now?!"
Rayleigh moved closer, holding the Den Den Mushi that was still connected.
"I understand, Shakky, but you'd better leave Sabaody Archipelago."
"You saw something you shouldn't have seen. If things get really bad, go back to Amazon Lily. With Gloria's help, you should be fine for a while."
Den Den Mushi pouted: "I said, either you come and pick me up and put me on the ship, or I'll stay in the shop!"
'
"If you don't want to see me captured by the Knights of God and used as a prize, come back and get me right now!"
Rayleigh said with a headache, "But we're already in the New World—"
"Then just watch as the Celestial Dragons capture me and enslave me. You've already taken advantage of me, you scumbag! Trash! Heartless, stinking pirate!"
Rayleigh sighed, "Alright, alright, I understand. I'll go back with the others to get you. Please find a place to hide first."
"If all else fails, wait for us at Ryugu Castle. The World Government doesn't dare go to the deep sea; it's a safe place."
The Den Den Mushi grinned smugly: "I understand, then you'd better hurry."
Snap—
The Den Den Mushi hung up, and Rayleigh looked at Roger, but before he could say anything, Roger, with a serious expression, preemptively opened the fire.
"I know, go pick up Shakky, but Rayleigh, what did Shakky see?"
"Xia Qi,"
He stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, a look of horror flashing in Rayleigh's eyes.
She only saw the beginning, but she heard it.
"She overheard a conversation between Bazel and Brooke before Bazel and his men fled."
She said—
"Because of Brook's music, the BOSS hidden in the deepest part of the world has been summoned."
BOSS?!
Roger's eyes widened, and his pupils contracted.
"Hey, hey—"
Roger glanced at his companions with a shocked look, then looked up at the sky.
"Something terrible has happened! That guy, Bazel, looks like he accidentally touched on a forbidden truth!"
