In a luxurious office in Mariejoia, a meeting was being held secretly.

The luxurious office seemed a bit empty, with only five old men of different ages and demeanor sitting around the small round table in the center.

The five old men sat around the round table with different expressions, staring at the photo placed on the round table.

The photo shows a strong, red-haired man with small eyes, who is Seti's carefully designed small-sized black tiger Afu.

After staring at the photo for a long time, an old man with a long goatee among the five people spoke first:

"I just received news that the fire in the manor area has been completely extinguished. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Except for the two members of Xia Maria's family who died, the rest of the people were not injured."

Upon hearing this, the scar-faced old man wearing a black hat suddenly asked:

"Did your lord give any instructions on this matter?"

At these words, the expressions of the five people present were all stunned. They all looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Then they let out a long breath, and the originally solemn atmosphere relaxed a lot.

The bald and bespectacled old man who had been holding the knife took a sip of tea and speculated:

"Only the father and son of the Xia Maria family were killed... Could it be that this black tiger Afu had any grudge against their family? The fire was just to hide the truth from others. Revenge is the real purpose?"

The square-faced old man with golden beard retorted.

"If it's just revenge, we can wait until the father and his son go down to the realm before taking action. The father and his son go down to the realm quite often on weekdays. There is no need to go to Marigioa specifically to take action and go to such trouble to bring out such a large number of slaves."

Hearing what he said, the bearded old man who had been holding his arms frowned and said:

"But if it's not for revenge, then why? To rescue the slaves like Fisher Tiger did? It can't be for the Shamaria family's treasure, right?"

When he said this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and a smile appeared on the faces of the other four people.

If you want to rob, why bother to go to Marigioa? Wouldn't it be easier and safer to loot a country's treasury or hijack the heavenly gold?

In this way, the five old stars were chatting and laughing and eliminated the truth of the matter early...

The truth was ruled out early, and no matter how hard the Five Old Stars tried, it would be impossible to discuss a reasonable motive for the crime.

The five old men couldn't come up with a solution after discussing it for a long time, so they simply stopped worrying too much about the motive of the crime.

Their time is very precious and there is no need to waste it on the criminal motives of such a "mortal man".

That's right, in the eyes of the Five Old Stars, there is not much difference between this black tiger Afu and a dead man. Faced with the high bounty offered by the World Government and the Navy, this guy will soon follow in the footsteps of Fisher Tiger.

It's not that they look down on this black tiger Ah Fu, but the background of the World Government is there.

All in all, after the five old stars dispersed, the decision was officially made on how to deal with Black Tiger Ah Fu.

The matter was handled almost exactly according to the way Fisher Tiger handled it eleven years ago, focusing on promoting Black Tiger Afu's arson in Mariejoa and the release of the Draco slaves.

As for Black Tiger Afu's "groundbreaking" killing of two Tianlong people, it was suppressed quietly, with only a little obscure reflection in the reward amount.

Everyone who understands understands, and I don’t want to explain too much to those who don’t understand. After all, just know what you know, and just take a closer look.

Don't ask me what's wrong. The interests are too involved. It won't be good for you or me to tell you. Just pretend that you don't know. For the rest, I can only say that the water is very deep and there are many things involved. You know what I mean.

Bar?

The World Government has finalized how to deal with Black Tiger Ah Fu, and the Navy did not raise any objections after reading it. Just like that, after the printing press at the Navy headquarters was busy for a while, Black Tiger Ah Fu's bounty order was released.

.

The photo is a photo captured by Mary Joa's video phone bug. In the photo, the black tiger Afu looks ferocious, and in the background is the burning Mary Joa.

Black Tiger Afu, the bounty is 660 million beli.

After the bounty orders were distributed around the world, the whole world was shocked.

This is Black Tiger Ah Fu's first bounty. But the first time he was offered a bounty, the terrifying figure of 660 million was set. Could it be that Black Tiger Ah Fu is really as powerful as those rumors say?

?

For a time, the discussion about Black Tiger Ah Fu reached a whole new level.

Ordinary people who don't know the inside story either lament the high amount of the reward for Black Tiger Ah Fu, or worry about whether the future will be more difficult, and whether the World Government can bring the criminal to justice.

And those powerful people from all sides who knew enough about the World Government had different reactions after seeing this reward order.

…

The first half of the Grand Line, White Earth Island, Baldigo.

In a secret stronghold somewhere, Dorag looked at the reward order placed on the table, and the application seemed a little solemn.

Six hundred and sixty million...there is definitely something wrong with this number.

Eleven years ago, Fisher Tiger made a big fuss about Mariejoia for releasing so many Draco slaves, and the reward amount was only 220 million.

Thinking of the scene where Seti turned the Celestial Dragon's head into a rotten watermelon in front of him, Dolag's expression changed. He took out the phone from his arms and carefully dialed a number. It took him a long time.

Then he said:

"I'm sorry to contact you at this time. I've encountered some problems here and need your help..."

…………

New world, a certain winter island.

The members of the Spade Pirates have just finished visiting the Red-haired Pirates and are thinking about the next sailing route on a desert island.

At this moment, the chirping of the newsbird suddenly sounded in the air. Deus handed over a copy. Bailey took out a newspaper from the bag of the newsbird. As soon as he opened the newspaper, a small reward order appeared.

fell out.

wanted: Black Tiger Ah Fu, 660 million Baileys.

Just taking a glance at the numbers below, Deus couldn't help but take a breath:

"Captain, look, the reward for that Black Tiger Ah Fu is actually higher than yours!"

Ace, who was stuffing meat into his mouth, subconsciously turned his head when he heard this. His chewing movements subconsciously slowed down a lot. He stared at the reward notice for a long time and then suddenly showed a smile and said:

"Hey, Deus, do you think it's time for us to make some big news, otherwise the limelight will be robbed by others."

Deus was stunned for a moment and then nodded subconsciously: "That's the truth, but Captain, this is a new world. I think we still need to be careful..."

"Do you still remember what I said on Fish-Man Island?"

"What's up?"

Deus was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something. He hugged his captain's thigh and wailed:

"Captain, calm down, those are the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Ace didn't pay attention to him at all, he just gently held the brim of his hat and looked toward the distant horizon with his deep eyes.

Iska, wait for me, you will read about me in the newspaper soon!

…………

New World, on the deck of Moby Dick.

The Whitebeard Pirates were holding a banquet to bid farewell to their friends, and the person bidding farewell was none other than Kai Xia Jinbei, one of the Shichibukai.

While everyone was chatting happily, a fat black man in the crowd suddenly shouted exaggeratedly:

"Everyone, look at it!"

This voice attracted the attention of everyone on the boat. Even Jinbei and Whitebeard, who were having a drink, stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the fat black man with gaping teeth in the crowd.

Putting down the exaggeratedly large shallow sea bowl in his hand, the white-bearded Edward Newgate, known as the "World's Strongest Man", said with a smile on his face:

"Teach, what are you doing?"

A fat black man named Teach squeezed into the crowd, waving the newspaper and reward order in his hand exaggeratedly:

"Dad, there was a guy named Black Tiger Afu who burned Mariejoia! Because of this, the World Government set a reward of up to 660 million for him!"

"This is nothing new."

Zi Tiqi took out the newspaper behind him. Whitebeard scanned the contents of the newspaper and suddenly laughed loudly:

"Gu la la la la, what a bold guy."

When he said this, he specially handed the newspaper to Fatty Lan, who was slightly anxious next to him:

"Take a good look, Jinbei."

Jinbei took the newspaper and carefully scanned the lines of news item by item. As he read, his brows knitted together unconsciously:

"Six hundred and sixty million? That shouldn't be right. Brother Tiger only had a bounty of more than 200 million back then."

Having said this, he subconsciously glanced at the white beard who had been staring at him. When he saw the other person's meaningful smile, he thought of a possibility:

"Impossible? Is there really such a bold guy?"

The more Jinbei thought about it, the more he felt itchy like a cat scratching his heart. Not only was he curious about whether any of his fellow fishmen were among the freed slaves, but more importantly, he saw a glimmer of hope in this news.

Although it was extremely slim, when he thought about Princess Otohime, whom he had dedicated his whole life to, Jinbei still felt that he had to fight for it.

"If you have something you want to do, then go and do it quickly. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not the qualities that a man at sea should have."

At this moment, Whitebeard's voice also sounded at the right time.

Jinbei nodded, bowed deeply to the other party with respect, then turned around and jumped into the sea.

…………

New World, Gulam Tezolo.

"Lord Tezolo, please look at this."

A small man with a huge head suddenly popped his head out from the ground, holding a newspaper and a reward order in his hand.

The Golden Emperor Tezzolo, who was tasting the wine, reached out to read the newspaper. As soon as he saw the title, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the wine in his hand suddenly spilled on the ground.

"Lord Tezolo?"

Mr. Tanaka, the head guard of Gulan Tezoro, tilted his big head and looked at his boss carefully.

Tezzolo tried to calm down his mood and suddenly said to Tanaka:
Chapter completed!
