Chapter 24

"Eagle Eye, this is my territory. You barging in is one thing, but you actually broke my toy!"

26. Luo Xing's Bounty: One Billion Five Hundred Million Berries!

To unleash such a powerful sword wave with a single casual slash, who else could it be but the world's greatest swordsman, Eagle Eye Dracule Mihawk?

Eagle Eye walked straight up to Shanks.

The two were old friends who often sparred in swordsmanship.

Shanks helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Knowing that someone with Eagle Eye's cold personality would not apologize for killing his toy, he sat down heavily on the ground and said:

"Why have you come to find me?"

"I heard you spent a great deal of effort fighting over the Mysterious Cell, so I came to take a look," Eagle Eye said indifferently.

Shanks plucked a blade of grass from somewhere and stuck it in his mouth.

"You've come just to watch me make a fool of myself, haven't you?"

Eagle Eye glanced at the corpse he had instantly killed with a single slash.

"If it's only at this level, then the Mysterious Cell you spent so much effort to snatch is indeed a joke."

The Mysterious Cell had doubled the strength of that just-arrived pirate, and the surge in his aura caused many members of the Red Hair Pirates to turn pale.

But,

in front of top-tier powerhouses like Eagle Eye and Shanks, it was still far from impressive.

Shanks spat out the blade of grass, and his careless expression suddenly turned serious.

"Eagle Eye, you are mistaken. According to the intelligence I secretly gathered, the Mysterious Cell that the Beast Emperor's Imperial Son-in-Law sold to Charlotte Linlin was only a low-grade one. He has also invented a high-grade Mysterious Cell!"

"It was that high-grade Mysterious Cell that allowed the Ancient Zoan fruits of the Tobiroppo of the Beast Pirates to evolve into Mythical Zoan!"

Eagle Eye's sharp pupils contracted slightly.

This was truly the first time he had heard this news.

A high-grade Mysterious Cell capable of evolving an Ancient Zoan into a Mythical Zoan; even he could no longer treat it as ordinary.

After a moment of silence, Eagle Eye asked:

"How much do you know about that Beast Emperor's Imperial Son-in-Law?"

Shanks shook his head and sighed, "Basically nothing at all. He is too mysterious. He has never shown himself in the outside world, and to this day, no one even knows what he looks like."

Speaking of this, Shanks thought of his own daughter and couldn't help but envy Kaido for finding such a good son-in-law.

Benn Beckman exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, "In any case, that person, being able to invent Mysterious Cells, is certainly no ordinary man."

Shanks, Eagle Eye, Lucky Roux, and others all nodded in deep agreement.

Mysterious Cells can rival Devil Fruits. As for a person with such research capabilities, throughout the entire Grand Line, probably only Vegapunk, hidden by the World Government, can be compared to him.

Eagle Eye changed the subject and spoke of something else.

"Shanks, I plan to travel to the East Blue for a while. This visit is also to say goodbye to you."

Eagle Eye looked at Shanks' empty left arm.

"I want to know what kind of powerful figure is hidden in the East Blue, known as the weakest of the Four Seas, that caused you to lose an arm."

As soon as these words were spoken,

Shanks and the rest of the Red Hair Pirates wore awkward smiles on their faces.

That was hardly a glorious matter.

Shanks coughed once and half-joked, half-persuaded:

"Eagle Eye, if it is for this reason, then I advise you not to go to the East Blue. If you happen to meet the King of the Coast, I fear for your life..."

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

If we speak of the biggest beneficiary of this struggle for the Mysterious Cell, it is certainly the Marines and the World Government.

After all.

their spies are everywhere, and their overall power on the seas is undoubtedly number one.

At this moment,

in the office of the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and the three Admirals were all present.

Sengoku said:

"We have handed over all the Mysterious Cells obtained this time to Dr. Vegapunk for research. The doctor has sent word that he can analyze the mechanism of action of the Mysterious Cells, but he cannot decipher their production principle."

"In other words, our Marines cannot replicate the Mysterious Cells."

Garp and the three Admirals were all greatly surprised.

Even Dr. Vegapunk, who can develop artificial Devil Fruits, cannot decipher the Mysterious Cells!

Does that not mean that the research capabilities of that Beast Emperor's Imperial Son-in-Law, Luo Xing, are even superior to Dr. Vegapunk?!

This was truly somewhat chilling.

"There is one more thing," Sengoku continued. "The Heavenly Gold in the New World has been plundered by the Beast Pirates again."

Robbing once was not enough; they had to rob a second time!

In the eight-hundred-year history of the World Government, this had never happened before!

"Damn it, those bastards from the Beasts Pirates!"

Akainu, whose temper is explosive, could not suppress his anger.

Sengoku let out a sigh: "The World's Gold has been hijacked twice. The Five Elders are truly furious and have issued a death order, commanding me to dispatch an Admiral to protect the World's Gold."

Sengoku's gaze swept over Akainu, Kuzan, and Huang Yuan.

"You three, who is willing to take on this task?"

Sengoku's gaze lingered longest on Kuzan, after all, Kuzan was his most favored successor.

However, Kuzan was unwilling to be a dog for the Celestial Dragons and showed no intention of volunteering.

Huang Yuan, the master of clocking out, was still clipping his nails there, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Without any surprise, it was Akainu who took on this matter.

"Finally, in response to the World Government's request, we must issue a bounty on that Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law."

"The bounty amount was set personally by the Five Elders."

Sengoku took a deep breath and spoke a number that made everyone present's eyebrows twitch.

"Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing, bounty: one billion five hundred million Berries!"

27. The Mysterious Fifth Emperor of the Sea (Including the Protagonist's Bounty Poster Image)

"Breaking News! Breaking News!"

"The mysterious Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law, bounty: one billion five hundred million Berries!"

"It is said that this bounty was set by the Five Elders, the supreme holders of power in the World Government!"

Above the boundless sea, all the carrier pigeons of the World News Service screamed at the top of their lungs across the world.

People looked up in shock, took the newspapers that fell down, and their eyes immediately widened—

Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing, bounty: one billion five hundred million Berries!

Hiss!

Countless sounds of gasping in cold air.

That is a full one billion five hundred million Berries, higher than the second-in-command of the Emperor's crew!

Across the entire sea, the only ones with a bounty higher than Luo Xing's were the Four Emperors themselves, who rule over Approaching the New World and stand above countless pirates!

"However, why is the photo of the Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law on the bounty poster just a yellow Psyduck?"

"It must be that the Marines still do not know what the Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law looks like."

"What a mysterious figure! Even the Marines' spies spread all over the world have not seen his shadow."

"They haven't seen him, yet they set the bounty at one billion five hundred million Berries; this is enough to prove how terrifying that Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law is!"

"After all, he is the existence who invented the Monster Cells that can rival Devil Fruits!"

The whole world is filled with fierce discussions about Luo Xing.
