Chapter 30

The other members of the Red Hair Pirates, hearing this, all looked up at Benn Beckman with stunned expressions.

A bounty of 1.5 billion on the very first try? That's way too outrageous.

Although the North Blue is known for producing monsters, this one is simply too strong.

As the strongest of the four seas, the North Blue has produced many top-tier powerhouses.

Benn Beckman, Donquixote Doflamingo, Akainu Sakazuki, Kizaru Borsalino, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's subordinate Vice Admiral Tsuru, and her younger sister, the Admiral candidate, all hail from the North Blue.

It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the North Blue became the strongest among the four seas.

"Beckman, you must trust my judgment."

"Hic... No matter who it is, the position of Pirate King will eventually belong to Luffy."

The Red-Haired man looked at the newspaper, let out a drunken burp, and paid no mind to Beckman's words.

In his view,

Luffy, as the one chosen by the Mythical Zoan-type Nika Fruit, will absolutely become the future Pirate King.

This point is beyond doubt.

As a Devil Fruit possessing 'will', the Nika Fruit automatically selects a host suitable for itself.

And throughout the World Government's eight-hundred-year pursuit, it has repeatedly evaded capture.

And all of this was simply to wait for Luffy's birth.

On this great sea,

Luffy is the chosen one of fate!

Luffy is the great warrior who brings hope to the world!

Luffy is the future Pirate King!

Everyone else must step aside!

Beckman shrugged and said indifferently:

"Then let's just wait and see."

The Grand Line, the Calm Belt.

Amazon Lily Kingdom, the Island of Women.

"God-Slayer Lin Yu kills a Celestial Dragon in the North Blue..."

The Pirate Empress and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Boa Hancock, stared at the newspaper in her hand, unable to regain her composure for a long time.

Beside her, Boa Sandersonia with green hair and Boa Marigold with orange hair wore equally shocked expressions.

As former slaves of the Celestial Dragons, they never imagined that someone would now dare to attack and kill the World Noble Celestial Dragons.

The last person was the Fish-Man hero who climbed Red Line with his bare hands and liberated Celestial Dragon slaves—Fisher Tiger.

And such a hero, in the face of the World Government, ultimately met only the fate of death.

"Ah!!!"

Sandersonia let out a scream of agony and began to clutch her head and weep, as she had just remembered the miserable days under the Celestial Dragons.

Because of her rare green hair, she was the most severely tortured of the three sisters.

"Sister," Marigold quickly held Sandersonia down and turned to Hancock for help.

Frowning her beautiful brows, Hancock put down the newspaper, walked in front of Sandersonia, kicked the back of her neck, and knocked her unconscious.

"Take her away."

After giving the order, Hancock picked up the newspaper again and stared intently at Lin Yu's photo.

This man who dared to attack and kill a Celestial Dragon had successfully caught her attention.

"I hope you can survive and reach the Grand Line."

World Economic News Agency Headquarters.

"President."

"It's bad! People from the World Government have arrived."

"They demand that we delete the report on the Celestial Dragon's death from the newspaper and forbid us from continuing to spread this news to the common people."

Morgans lifted his head from behind his desk, sneered, and said, "Tell them to get lost!"

As the News King of the Underworld, he, Morgans, was not someone who would compromise with the World Government.

What gets printed in his newspaper is decided solely by him!

"Morgans, you had better watch your words."

"You had better stop your report immediately, or else..."

Several World Government staff members in suits walked into the office and warned Morgans.

"Heh heh, or else what?"

'Big News' Morgans took a sip of red wine and sneered.

No sooner had the words left his lips than he lunged at the World Government staff and started beating them up.

"You actually dare to attack us."

The several World Government staff members, not expecting Morgans to suddenly strike, were immediately beaten into a state where they had no power to fight back and were all knocked down within a short time.

"Tch!"

Seeing the staff members on the ground, Morgans spat.

As the News King of the Underworld, he certainly possessed the necessary strength.

Although he often fabricated shocking headlines to seize the news market, he also possessed the professional ethics expected of a journalist.

Pouring a glass of red wine, Morgans ordered:

"Throw them all out."

"Additionally, prepare to relocate the headquarters to a secret floating island."

Morgans held a small, unknown floating island in his grasp, a place he used to store confidential documents and the very foundation of his audacity to offend the World Government.

He had stumbled upon it by chance just after acquiring the Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Albatross, when he could still fly freely in the sky.

"Yes, Mr. President."

Hearing this, the several reporters nearby immediately sprang into action.

Meanwhile.

Lin Yu, unaware that he had already been targeted by powerful figures,

was currently standing in the laboratory aboard the God Slave, watching Reiju process the transformation device for his scientific combat suit.

The God Slave housed the Navy's latest scientific technologies and was naturally equipped with dedicated repair rooms and laboratories.

After two hours of processing, Reiju finally completed the transformation device for Lin Yu's combat suit.

Picking up the finished transformation device, Reiju looked at Lin Yu and smiled:

"Done!"

"Excellent!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu immediately rejoiced and grabbed Reiju, kissing her fiercely.

"Y-you should go try it out right away."

Overwhelmed by Lin Yu's kiss, Reiju only managed to catch her breath and forcefully break free from his grasp a few minutes later.

If she did not send Lin Yu away, she feared he would execute her on the spot.

"Alright."

Lin Yu chuckled softly, took Reiju's hand, and ran toward the deck.

He had been looking forward to testing his transformation device for a long time.
