Chapter 209

It's nothing more than the literal meaning!

After a long silence,

Zhan Guo finally spoke:

"Let's put that aside for now. Regardless, he killed two Celestial Dragons in Shampody Islands. The Marines must immediately issue his bounty!"

"As for the bounty amount, let's tentatively set it at 3 billion Berries. What do you all think?"

Hearing this,

the few people looked at each other,

and ultimately just shook their heads,

saying nothing!

Clearly,

regarding this bounty amount,

none of those present had any objections!

3 billion Berries,

this is an extremely enormous sum,

almost equivalent to the bounty of an Emperor!

Let alone the fact that this is his first bounty!

Yet even so,

not a single person present raised an objection!

Only Tsuru, after pondering for a moment, spoke:

"With the strength he has displayed so far, he is already no weaker than an Emperor!"

"Moreover, he very likely did not fight at full strength today. His true strength is unknown. 3 billion Berries is not excessive!"

"In fact, since he killed two Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land Mariejois will only increase the bounty on top of this amount!"

"However, we must understand one thing!"

"Given his current strength, for the Marines to capture him would be an extremely difficult matter!"

"Although compared to the Four Emperors In the New World, he stands alone!"

"His strength is formidable, and his methods even more unfathomable. It would take at least three Admirals striking simultaneously to have a chance of holding him!"

Hearing this,

Zhan Guo could not help but rub his temples,

his face full of distress as he said:

"In that case, let's tentatively set the bounty at 3 billion Berries!"

"As for the other related matters, I'll handle them later. For now, let's leave it at this. Everyone, dismissed!"

"Sakazuki and Borsalino, you two get some proper rest!"

"Recently the Four Emperors In the New World have been restless, and the Marines' energy is already stretched thin!"

"Add to that a Li Xiao like this…"

"Sigh, now it's not about the Marines going to capture him. As long as he doesn't come causing trouble for the Marines, that would already be good enough!"

Listening to Zhan Guo's words,

Sakazuki could not help but clench his fists tightly!

This time,

he felt a sense of powerlessness he hadn't experienced in a long time!

Get stronger!

He had to become stronger!

Only this way,

could he eradicate all evil!

…………

The Marines' operational efficiency was extremely fast.

Before long,

a brand-new bounty poster was carried by News Coos to every corner of the world!

On the bounty poster,

a young man sat cross-legged,

leisurely eating an orange with a relaxed expression,

a faint golden light screen enveloping him,

adding a touch of mysterious color!

And below this photograph was the bounty amount,

plainly 3.5 billion Berries!

That's right,

just as Vice Admiral Tsuru had said,

the Celestial Dragons not only did not think the 3 billion Berries bounty was too high,

but instead felt it was insufficient,

so they added another 500 million Berries on top!

In the end,

Li Xiao was put on a bounty list for the first time,

with the amount being a staggering 3.5 billion Berries!

And flying to all corners of the world alongside this wanted poster,

was a news report detailing the specific events of this incident!

In fact,

regarding this matter,

both the Celestial Dragons and the Marines,

wanted to conceal it with all their might!

After all,

for the former,

it was a Celestial Dragon who died,

and this was hardly a glorious matter!

If it were spread widely,

it would only damage the lofty ruling image of the Celestial Dragons!

And for the latter,

under the combined assault of two Marine Admirals,

Li Xiao not only escaped unscathed,

but also severely injured one of them,

and even casually killed another Celestial Dragon along the way!

If such a thing were to get out,

it would undoubtedly be a disgrace to the Marines' face!

However,

regarding this matter,

even if the Marines wanted to conceal it, they simply could not!

As the terminal station of the first half of the Grand Line,

the Sabaody Archipelago was home to a motley crew of people,

and besides the Marines,

there were also a vast number of pirates!

Whether it was the fact that Li Xiao killed two Celestial Dragons,

or the process of his battle with Akainu and Huang Yuan, countless people saw it all with their own eyes!
