  …

  After El, the leader of the Fallen Angel Pirates, set the to took only a few days for Sally and her intelligence department to pile and cssify lists of Wover officials and Navy perso all ranks.

  These lists were then published ito Land Daily, which rinted and distributed across the world.

  For the first time in five years, Totto Land’s work of specially trained News essengers demonstrated its extraordinary reach.

  With the help of the Homies and the ever-present News Coo reporters, The Totto Land Daily gathered intelligence from around the globe. Its ability to deliver breaking neidly had elevated it to bee the seost popur neer on the seas, now a direpetitor to the leading World Ey Neer.

  When the bounty annous were released, the entire o was shaken, and the world erupted in chaos.

  “What?”

  “Hey, is this for real?”

  “Totto Land is pg bounties on the Wover?”

  “A Navy Admiral has a 3 billion Berry bounty?”

  “The Five Elders, who hold the highest power in the world, have been given a 10 billion Berry bounty?”

  “Even the Celestial Dragons are worth 3 billion Berries each? And Totto Land is prote for anyone who kills a key figure in the Wover or the Navy—and their family?”

  “Coo-coo! Even the Celestial Dragons? Is this the end of the world?”

  “Navy Vice Admirals are worth 500 million Berries?”

  “And that’s not all—even Navy Rear Admirals are at 200 million Berries!”

  “Brigadiers are 100 million, and lower-ranking officers range from 10 to 50 million Berries!”

  “My God! Is this actually happening?”

  “Pirates pg bounties on the Navy? What a joke!”

  “Coo! The sky is falling!”

  As people looked at the freshly delivered copies of The Totto Land Daily, dropped by the News Coos, they were stunned.

  The neer listed the bounty amounts, the ditions, and the names of key Wover and Navy personnel. It even included the first set of bounty posters, featuring the Five Elders, the Fleet Admiral, the Admirals, and other top-ranking officials.

  The colossal sums o their names were shog—numbers never before seen in the history of bounties.

  Pirates, civilians, merts, nobles, and royalty alike stared in disbelief at the bold, bd-white headlines.

  Instinctively, they rubbed their eyes over and over, re-reading the news again and again. The truth left them pale with shock.

  “Boom… Boom…”

  At that moment, in the first half of the New World, at G-1 Fortress, near an old, deissioned warship:

  A tall, young man was furiously pounding the ship’s bow with his fists, using the massive warship like a pung bag.

  Sweat streamed from him as he struck the ship with nothing but raw strength—no Haki, no special powers. Under his blows, the immeeel hull began to dent inward.

  “Garp!!”

  Sengoku the Buddha ran over, clutg a neer and about a dozen freshly printed bounty posters.

  His face was urgent, and he shouted tarp, who was in the midst of his training.

  “Something terrible has happened!”

  “What’s wrong, Sengoku?”

  Soaked i, Garp paused his punches and turo face his close friend, surprised by Sengoku’s uncharacteristic arm.

  “You’re not oo panic like this.”

  “Take a look at these…”

  Sengoku’s expression was grave as he hahe posters to Garp.

  “This… Aren’t these the Five Elders?”

  Garp g the first few bounty posters and reized the Five Elders’ faces. At first, he was indifferent.

  But in the instant, his eyes widened, and his jaw nearly hit the floor.

  “What? They’ve been bountied… 1 billion Berries?”

  “1 billion? No, look closely—it’s 10 billion!” Sengoku corrected him, eyes twitg as he poi the figure. “Check the others.”

  “10 billion? Is this some kind of joke?”

  Stunned, Garp flipped through the other posters, his voice rising in disbelief.

  “Fleet Admiral William at 5 billion Berries? Admiral Kong at 3 billion?!”

  He paused, face darkening.

  “Wait a sed… Why are we on the list, too?”

  Soon, Garp found bounty posters featuring himself and Sengoku, each with an equally absurdly high bounty.

  “Not only us,” Sengoku said seriously, “we’re both listed at 2 billion Berries each.”

  “2 billion…”

  Garp froze, his mind going bnk, before turning to Sengoku in shock.

  “What in the world is going on? Is this some pirate’s twisted prank?”

  “This is no joke!” Sengoku gritted his teeth, his expression more serious than ever.

  “The Fallen Angel Pirates, uotto Land’s name, have issued these bouhrough The Totto Land Daily. They’ve targeted all 12over agencies and their personnel, and annouhat the Hell Trading pany will pay out these rewards.”

  “From the top of the Woverhe Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons—to CP agents, gover officials, and every Navy officer, from ensigns down to on soldiers, everyone has been bountied!”

  “And the numbers are monstrous. This will create unimaginable chaos—just you wait!”

  Sengoku could already envisioastrophe ahead.

  With every rank of Navy offiow worth a fortuhey were practically walking targets. Pirates, bounty hunters, and even ordinary civilians driven by greed would risk everything for the reward.

  Worse still, the fear that some within the Navy might turn traitor for such wealth loomed over them like a dark cloud.

  “That bastard Fallen Angel El…”

  Garp growled, his face showing both shod fury.

  “Damn it… This is unspeakable!”

  “Vice Admiral Sengoku, bad news!”

  Just then, a panting subordinate rushed over, voice trembling:

  “We’ve received word: Rear Admiral Buck, who took a supply team to a nearby isnd, was ambushed by a group masquerading as merts! He was shot in the bad… he didn’t make it!”

  “What!?”
