Chapter 118
Regarding this matter, we need to discuss the classification of bounties.
Generally speaking, reaching the height of the Four Emperors level, the bounty basically starts at the 3 billion standard. Luffy is at the level of testing the waters at this level. And reaching the height of a legendary pirate, the starting point is the 5 billion standard.
For example, Whitebeard and Pirate King Roger in their prime both had bounties exceeding 5 billion.
Further down!
The 2 billion standard is hard to say, and the 1 billion to 2 billion standard is the Emperor-level/quasi-Admiral level. Further down, Emperor-level executives are basically just over 1 billion, not more. As for further down, those are executive levels, which is the level exceeding 500 million Beli.
So!
Bounties, many times, as long as they are not falsely reported by the Navy, then! Basically, they can reflect a pirate's strength. This is absolutely no joke.
"Hmm~~~"
Lei Ounai pondered: "Your Highness, this is definitely a sure loss!"
Locke nodded: "I know. Still the same saying, with the strength of the four of us, it's definitely a sure loss. So! I have already contacted personnel. I will summon Esdeath over. After the battle ends, I will immediately let Esdeath take a ship back to Noxas. Basically, there won't be any problems."
"That woman..."
"Tch!"
Lei Ounai curled her lips, very unhappy, but didn't say anything.
"Esdeath..."
"Very strong..."
Akame nodded cutely. As a true battle where she gave her all, Akame recognized Esdeath's strength very much. It was just too strong.
Locke also said calmly: "No way! None of the three of us are good at group combat, and Esdeath's Demon Extract ability is most suitable for group combat. Plus Esdeath's strength, only then can this mission succeed."
"Otherwise..."
Locke shook his head with emotion.
No way!
If the mission cannot succeed, then! No matter where he hides, he will definitely die.
According to the Rocks Pirates' personality, they will absolutely not show mercy. You accepted the mission, there are only two paths: completion and death. Either complete the mission and get the reward, or die—die thoroughly in the mission.
You want to choose to escape?
*Hehehe~~~*
On this sea, no one has dared to face the pursuit of the entire Rocks Pirates.
Besides!
Locke still had confidence. This battle was not absolutely without any possibility of success. Even! According to his own estimation, the probability of success was quite high. Precisely because of this, the next situation was hard to say.
"Phew~~~"
Taking a deep breath, Locke murmured with a calm expression: "What will happen next?"
"Forget it!"
"The specific situation is hard to say. Let's complete this mission first!"
"And..."
Locke patted his head. Since when did he start to be sentimental? He was not a person who liked to be sentimental!
Regarding all kinds of things!
Locke was never a person who liked to be sentimental. On the contrary! Locke preferred to suppress the other party with his own means and crush them thoroughly. This was what he liked most. Besides that? Everything else was just meaningless!
The winner takes all!
The loser has nothing!
This is Locke's personality. Normally, Locke doesn't like gambling.
But!
The return this time was huge. Locke knew that only by winning this mission could he get everything he wanted. Collecting Devil Fruits was never an easy path.
The return of 3 Devil Fruits was extremely important for him, who had only summoned 3 Teigu and still had 45 left to summon!
Locke understood this very well, and even more clearly about the core.
"Your Highness!" Lei Ounai pondered: "However! Even with Esdeath's power, can we win? According to the information I read! Wanting to win is not an easy thing."
"And..."
Lei Ounai was also pondering a question. This was not an easy thing.
The recovery power of the Phoenix Fruit could be seen from Marco.
And!
The power Wa Erke developed might be a step higher than Marco's.
"Hehehe~~~"
Locke hooked a smile at the corner of his mouth and said interestingly: "Don't worry! According to Esdeath's strength, there will be no problem. Don't forget! Esdeath is a monster!"
"Ah!"
"Although I don't want to admit it."
Lei Ounai smacked her lips, indeed she had to admit it.
