"I slaughtered three Vice Admirals, killed one or two thousand elite sailors, and earned a reward of 1.5 billion berries!"
Marco was himself surprised to see that he was offered a reward of up to 1.555 billion berries. Could it be that the Navy had become wealthy in the short time since Akainu took over? Was it possible for the bounty to be so extravagant?
In reality,
Marco's notoriety was not simply due to killing two veteran Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters, along with a base commander and thousands of elite sailors. He had participated in the Paramount War as a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had retreated.
Marco, who had always been quiet and low-key, suddenly became irritable, which led to a sense of uneasiness among the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, once they became aware of his actions.
Similarly, Marco's actions not only unsettled the Navy Headquarters but also reached the ears of many other pirate groups. When the bounty order was released, countless pirate crews were left in shock.
"Immortal Phoenix Marco… He finally couldn't hold back from killing!"
Such news spread wildly across the expansive seas of this great waterway, attracting the attention of unknown pirates and stirring up waves of excitement and unrest!
...
In the New World, on some unknown island.
On this small island, which was shaped like a winding centipede, a burly pirate wearing a cape—so large that he had trouble sitting in a big chair—was astonished as he looked down at the bounty order in his hand. "Marco… It's great that you're safe and sound!"
If anyone were to see the face of this pirate clearly, they would be amazed to recognize him as Diamond Jozu, the captain of the third team of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Unlike before, Diamond Jozu's humble face bore two new hideous scars. "Marco… It's so good that you're okay!" He touched the dull scars on his cheek, gritting his teeth. "Shiryu, I have to make you pay for these scars sooner or later!"
Not only had he acquired two more scars on his face, but his muscular and burly body was also covered in hideous and terrifying scars, the most notable being a sword wound.
The sword of Shiryu…!
"Blackbeard Pirates… Before I slaughter you to avenge our captain, the Whitebeard Pirates will never perish!"
...
In the North Sea, within the Calm Belt.
On a treacherous island, a cheerful swordsman grinned as he looked at a bounty order. "Marco… You look good, very good!"
"Someday, we'll meet again, won't we?"
"In this world, there are no eternal hardships; all sufferings are only temporary!"
Behind him lay two enormous beast corpses, each with a sword embedded in their heads. This kind-hearted swordsman with a smiling face was Foil Bista, the captain of the fifth team of the Whitebeard Pirates!
The same scenario unfolded on the islands of the New World and other seas, which, without exception, were almost all deserted or barren.
...
In the New World, on the edge of the Grand Line, on an unusually desolate island.
"Sister Bei, I just received a huge bounty… This guy seems to be worth our attention. Should I report it to Boss Long?"
A man, dressed in ordinary clothing but exuding a military demeanor, spoke respectfully to a proud woman in front of him.
"I'll take a look!"
The beautiful woman, sporting a lady's cigarette, sunglasses, and a striking appearance, seized the bounty order without hesitation. As she glanced at the bounty amount and the photo of the person, the cigarette in her mouth fell to the ground.
"Sister Bei is so surprised!"
Several subordinates nearby observed this reaction with astonishment. In their eyes, the strong and generous Sister Bei would never be so easily surprised by anything!
"Immortal Phoenix Marco, with a bounty of 1.555 billion berries!"
A few subordinates couldn't help but mutter again.
Slam!
Sister Bei, having taken off her sunglasses, slapped one of her subordinates on the head. "I'm not surprised by these mundane things!"
Her gaze then landed on the image of Marco with his fluttering wings. In the corner of the photo, one could faintly see a girl with big, cute eyes, tilting her head in adoration as she looked at Marco.
"This girl… She must have lost her mind!"
Sister Bei, also known as Bello Betty…!
...
In the New World, at the Four Emperors' Big Mom Pirate Base in Wanguo, Chocolate Town.
"The latest bounty order is out… Marco has a bounty of 1.555 billion berries!"
Several sons and daughters of the Charlotte family gathered together, eagerly watching Marco's bounty.
"It's five hundred million higher than the reward for Brother Katakuri! How annoying!"
"What else can that guy do besides fly? The regeneration flames of the Immortal Phoenix? They can only be used to flee for his life! Compared to his powerful brother, he falls far behind!"
"I just hope Brother Katakuri returns soon. If he can kill this guy Marco with his own hands, I'll feel much better!"
