Chapter 80: Reward
Admiral Kong said helplessly as he looked at the information in his hand.
After hearing what Admiral Kong said, Sengoku and Tsuru nodded silently.
This is indeed the best way. Although the Navy Headquarters has expanded its enrollment, it cannot be used immediately after the expansion. Training is still needed.
It is impossible to recruit them and send them into the battlefield.
And to deal with Charlotte, you need high-end combat power.
There are only a few people in the Navy Headquarters who can capture Charlotte.
It is impossible to send a senior navy fighter to chase Charlotte all over the world.
"Then how much should we offer? You know, Charlotte's bounty is already as high as 950 million berries, which is already one of the highest in the world," Sengoku asked, looking at Admiral Kong.
Admiral Kong was also troubled. Today's bounty is no longer just a reward order, but a symbol of strength. Moreover, pirates often use bounties as a comparison to increase their popularity.
"Let's set it at one billion! Anyway, his strength is definitely there. The swordsmanship of that great swordsman alone is worthy of one billion," Admiral Kong decided, holding his forehead.
"Okay! Then I'll go post the reward," Tsuru said.
"Let's also send out the bounty for the Red Earl. Set it at 900 million berries! A little lower than Charlotte's. This way, it will help to create a rift between the two of them," Admiral Kong added.
Sengoku frowned.
"Won't such a significant increase in bounties have unintended consequences?"Sengoku asked worriedly.
Admiral Kong waved his hand.
"What worse consequences could there be? The seas are already overflowing with pirates. One more or less doesn't change much,"
Admiral Kong said self-deprecatingly.
Since he became the admiral of the navy, a Rocks emerged among pirates.
One Rocks turned the second half of the Grand Line upside down. The number of people going out to sea as pirates increased sharply, and they could not be killed at all.
After hearing what Admiral Kong said, Sengoku fell silent.
After Tsuru saw that the two of them stopped talking, she silently turned around to arrange the bounty order.
Watching Tsuru leave, Admiral Kong already knew how much of a stir this bounty would cause.
…
As the latest bounty was released, it was spread across the sea by the newspaper gulls.

Beehive Island!
"Captain Rocks, there is news about Captain Charlotte of the Eighth Division. Captain Charlotte did something big in the Seven Waters City!"
Just as Rocks sat on his throne, one of his men trotted over with today's newspaper.
"Um?"
Rocks took the newspaper with interest and took a look at it.
Apart from that long string of zeros, there was a bloody photo.
"Shocked! The bloody swordsman Charlotte actually committed such a crime in the Water City."
"After massacring more than a thousand townspeople on the island, he disappeared without a trace as the navy pursued him."
Rocks looked at a few headlines on the newspaper and threw it down with some disinterest.
These are all small things to him.
"Has Kurozumi Murasaki come back?"
Rocks asked, looking at his men below.
"Not yet! I've urged them, but they said they were delayed for a while because of something?"
The subordinate reported with his head down.
After hearing what his men said, Rocks frowned.
He took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed the number directly.
Bru Bru!
The call was picked up quickly.
"Hey! How are you doing over there, Kurozumi Murasaki?" Rocks said in a deep voice.
After hearing Rocks' words, Kurozumi Murasaki immediately responded.
"Captain Rocks, we have found a historical text with news about the King of Heaven, and we have an address, which is in a place called the Valley of the Gods. However, we still need to investigate where the Valley of the Gods is!"
Rocks' expression changed drastically after hearing the words "King of Heaven" and "Valley of the Gods," but his tone remained calm.
"Good. Keep investigating," he instructed before hanging up.
"Yes Captain Rocks!"
Kurozumi Murasaki said cautiously.
Then she hung up the phone.
"Sister! Can what you just said really fool Rocks?"
Kurozumi Muramaru looked at his sister and said cautiously.
"Idiot! That's not Fooling. I just lured him into making a choice! Besides, what I said just now was not wrong. You have seen the historical text in the family. It clearly mentioned the Heavenly King and the Valley of the Gods. Moreover, the Valley of the Gods only opens once every forty years. The next time it opens is next year."
Said Kurozumi Murasaki.
"Then why don't you tell Rocks that the Valley of the Gods will open next year?"
Kurozumi Muramaru asked in confusion.
"Idiot! If I tell him now, then we will be useless, right? The reason why we can become the captain of the 7th Division is because we are useful. If we are no longer useful, can we survive in the Rocks Pirates?
Don't forget, Charlotte almost killed you. If Rocks hadn't stopped him, you would have gone to see Amaterasu."

At Sea
On Charlotte's merchant ship, Paul leaned over the side of the vessel, bored, when a newspaper gull caught his eye.
"Hey! Over here! I'll buy a paper!" Paul called, waving his hand.
The gull swooped down, exchanging a fresh stack of newspapers for fifty berries.
Paul eagerly unfolded the papers, and the rest of the crew crowded around him, seeking distraction from the monotony of their voyage.
