Chapter 333: I will go find him myself

Bockerman's bounty of 2.8 billion is more than double that of the vice captains of the other three Emperors' crews.

In other words, the Red-Haired Pirates are truly a double-Emperor crew.

Aside from Bockerman, the other senior officers of the Red-Haired Pirates also have high bounties—Jesus Burgess and Lachiru each have bounties above one billion, and the Navy regards them as the strongest iron wall pirate crew.

Precisely because of these reasons, Sakazuki was unwilling to continue fighting the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Nico Luo Bin..."

Aokiji, seeing Nico Luo Bin standing behind Lin Yu, furrowed his brow slightly.

After he had spared Nico Luo Bin out of respect for his friend Sauro, he had kept close watch on her ever since.

Now seeing her accompanying the lawless killer Lin Yu, he felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"Princess Vivi of Alabasta... was she forced?"

Aokiji stared at Luo Bin, while Sakazuki frowned at Vivi.

The Kingdom of Alabasta holds a special status; Lin Yu's abduction of Princess Vivi was indeed a difficult matter for him.

After locking eyes with Red-Haired for several seconds and confirming that Nami, Vivi, and others were clearly seen, Lin Yu stood up from his seat and dropped a smoke bomb beneath his feet.

As smoke engulfed him, Lin Yu opened an air gate and entered the alternate dimension with Reiju, Luo Bin, and the others.

The War at Marineford had ended; it was time for him to proceed with what came next.

Moreover, he had no desire to face the combined assault of the three Marine Admirals.

The reason Lin Yu did not appear alone but instead revealed himself alongside Reiju, Nami, and Vivi before the Marines was to raise their bounties.

After Lin Yu's pirate crew level increased, once any crew member reached Star Rank Eight or a bounty of one billion, he could gain an additional ability from them—highly cost-effective.

Seeing the smoke clear and Lin Yu and the others vanish, Sakazuki, Akainu, Red-Haired, and others all frowned—this eerie ability to appear and disappear without trace was truly troublesome.

After Lin Yu departed, Sakazuki turned to Red-Haired and said coldly:

"You may leave now."

Although Lin Yu had promised to deal with most of the prisoners who escaped from the City Sixth Floor, Sakazuki still intended to go in person.

But this would have to wait until the Red-Haired Pirates had departed.

"Farewell!"

Red-Haired cast one last glance at the spot where Lin Yu had vanished, then turned and left first.

Ace and Bai Huzi were killed by Lin Yu, and Ma Erke and Qiaozi's disappearance was likely also tied to the God-Killer Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's displayed potential was too great, his threat to Luffy too strong—he had already stirred Red-Haired's intent to kill him.

Luffy is the chosen heir of the Niko Fruit, the one Roger spoke of as the hope of change; Red-Haired would never allow anyone to threaten him!

Boarding the Red Force, Red-Haired Shanks spoke to Bockerman beside him:

"Bockerman, activate all informants and intelligence channels—I want every piece of information on the God-Killer Lin Yu."

"Also, have the shipwrights begin coating the ship immediately."
