One Piece: God Killer

"What, what's going on?" Morana's voice came from the deck of the Bifur. At this time, she had turned into a human-animal form and held the news bird tightly that wanted to fly away. He caught it and asked loudly, "The last time I bought a newspaper, it only cost 20 beli. Why did the price increase by five yuan now?"

Because she has been the gang leader of Black Constellation for several years, Morana is particularly sensitive to money matters, and the slightest change in price is enough to attract her attention. According to her, "Even if it's a berry, you shouldn't hand it over easily." No, the increase in newspaper prices aroused her great anger. She even temporarily gave up her catchphrase of "I heard it" or famous quotes.

The news bird flapped its wings in fear, trying to fly away from Morana's hands. However, such an attempt was doomed to be in vain.

"Okay," Gao Shifu couldn't stand it anymore, "It's only five berries, and it's not like we don't have money."

"What do you know? I heard, 'Looking at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success is due to diligence and frugality, and failure is due to extravagance!'" Molana turned his head and scolded Gao Shifu, and then threatened Newsbird, "Two Ten berries for one price, otherwise, I will stew you!"

Although the Newsbird couldn't speak human language, it was obvious that it could understand what Morana was saying. When it heard "I'll stew you," it was already a little numb and flapped even more fiercely. It tried its best to Want to fly away from Morana's clutches. After trying to no avail, he even gestured with his wings and screamed, as if he wanted to say something.

"Okay, Morana," Profic put down the "Encyclopedia of Sea Beasts Seen in the Grand Route" and persuaded him, "Five beli is small, but intelligence is big. If you really stew it, we can do it later Unfortunately, I won’t be able to buy newspapers for a long time.”

Newsbirds deliver newspapers by region, and one bird is responsible for one area. If Morana really stewed the newsbirds, they would not be able to buy newspapers until they left this area or Morgans replenished the newsbirds in this area. Compared with the lack of intelligence, Wu Beili is obviously easier to accept.

After all, the world of One Piece obviously lacks a relatively complete financial system, but there is a globally circulating currency like Berry. This makes it difficult to stabilize Berry's value, and soaring prices will become inevitable. In fact, take "World Economic News" as an example. A few days ago, the price of "World Economic News" was 20 Berry per copy, but now the price has increased to 25 Berry. More than ten years later, when Luffy went to sea, the price rose from 50 Berry to 100 Berry.

On the one hand, this reflects the uncontrollable price rise and hyperinflation, but in fact, Plovik even feels that compared with some currencies of the earth world (such as the Zimbabwean dollar), the rate of inflation in Berry is not too fast. .

Morana glared at Profik so fiercely that even through the veil, Profik could feel her anger. But in the end, it was Morana who compromised. As the former gang leader of Black Constellation, although she valued money, she also knew the importance of intelligence. Spending money on intelligence was always worth it.

Morana let go of the Newsbird in his hand, and before it could fly, he viciously threw two fifty-berry bills and hit it.

The news bird screamed and fell directly into the sea. It fluttered for a while before flying again.

"Look!" Matifa, who had just received the newspaper, quickly found news worthy of attention - a stack of reward orders. Among them is their reward.

"'Tax Resistor' Profik has a bounty of 45 million beli!"

"'Monster Sailor' Takajufu has a bounty of 32 million berries!"

“‘Webweaver’ Matifa has a bounty of 10 million Beli!”

As for Morana's bounty, it remains unchanged at 30 million beli.

Buck saw that Morana seemed a little disappointed and asked: "Morana, are you disappointed that the reward has not increased? It doesn't matter, Uncle Fuentes and I are still naked!"

"Who would be happy about being offered a bounty?" Morana felt that sometimes her partners had some problems with their heads. "I feel sorry because Mr. Kong Ming did not help cancel the bounty!"

"Okay, haven't I told you a long time ago?" Profik was not surprised by this. "Kong Ming is a navy guy. We are pirates, so he can't help us. Besides, even if Kong Ming If we are willing to help, the World Government will never revoke our bounty because of this. Besides, the bounty is a proof of strength to a certain extent, and many pirates will really be complacent about the increase in bounty."

"I know!" After saying this, Morana went back to her room, not knowing whether to sulk or write her diary.

Profik picked up the newspaper and continued to pay attention to other news in the newspaper.

The headline of the newspaper clearly read: "Super Pirates Rule the New World - The Four Pirate Emperors and the Final Establishment of the New World Pattern", and these four super pirates, who are honored as "Emperors of the Sea" are: "Whitebeard" "Edward Newgate, "Hundred Beasts" Kaido, "Big Mom" ​​Charlotte Lingling, and "Five Peaks Captain" Wang Zhi. That's right, at this time, the "red-haired" Shanks, who will become the four emperors in the future, still doesn't know where he is, let alone "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach, "Senryang Daohua" Bucky, and " "Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy are three rising stars.

As for the "Golden Lion" Shi Ji, who is said to have retired and disappeared from public view, he also failed to appear on this list.

The article does not introduce the lives of the four great pirates in detail. Profik has a better understanding of Whitebeard, Beasts and Big Mom. He focuses on the last four emperors, Oizhi. According to the information in the newspaper, Wang Zhi’s origins are unknown, and there is no detailed description of his experiences after becoming a pirate. It is only said that he gathered a group of fierce and combative guys about 20 years ago and established the "Wu Feng Pirates". group". Then, there are the "big cadres" under Wang Zhi. They are: "Four Great Warriors" - Xu Weixue, Ye Zongman, Xie He, Fang Tingzhu, "Eight Great Generals" - Mao Haifeng, Xu Yuanliang, Xiao Xian, Shen Men, Lin Bichuan, Xu Hai, Deng Wenjun.

To be honest, Profik was a little disappointed with the newspaper reports about Wang Zhi. However, this cannot be blamed on the World Economic News. The Cross Pirates and the Valley of the Gods incident are news that the World Government has explicitly prohibited from spreading. But now, the world government's influence on "World Economic News" can reach as far as twenty years later, and even Morgans dare not publicly report content that is expressly prohibited by the government. Therefore, as a former member of the Rocks Pirates and a participant in the Valley of the Gods incident, not only Wang Zhi, but also a large part of the "glorious resume" of Kaido, Big Mom, and Whitebeard were deliberately concealed.

As for information such as the origins of the four emperors, there was no report in the newspapers, perhaps because even the "World Economic News" did not dare to directly release such important content related to the origins of the four emperors.

In addition to the big news of One Piece Yonko, there is also a lot of news worth noting.

For example, the article "Unrest in the North Sea Kingdom of Sagas" reported the news that the king of the North Sea Kingdom of Sagas was overthrown by domestic rebels. The entire article implicitly points the finger at Monkey D. Long, the leader of the revolutionary army who may be involved in the revolution. The article described Long as an ambitious man who was afraid of chaos in the world, and called on the world government's participating countries to work together to nip the threat posed by this person in the bud.

The article "Supernova Across the Sea" introduces the pirate supernova - Sand Crocodile - who is tied with Barrett. At the same time, among the stack of reward orders that came with it, there was also a new reward for him, which was as high as 81 million Berry. You must know that this is not yet an era when pirate bounties will generally skyrocket in more than ten years. Eighty-one million berry can be regarded as a huge sum of money. In addition, Sand Crocodile is not the type who does evil all day long just for fun, so these 81 million can be said to have no water at all, and are really achievements.

It is also worth mentioning that the "Descendant of the Devil" Douglas Barrett, a former member of the Roger Pirates, who is the opponent of Sand Crocodile, has a bounty of up to 650 million Berry. This naturally includes all the "evil deeds" starting from being a member of the Roger Pirates.

Compared with these big news, Profic and others did not even appear in the newspapers, but only had a small position among a lot of inconspicuous reward orders.

"The sea is really a mess." Profik couldn't help but sigh. Now, we are in the early stages of the great pirate era. The balance of power on the sea has not yet been formed, and the navy has not yet accepted the fact that there are several pirate groups that are too big to lose and are "fighting against each other" with the navy headquarters. At the same time, although the four pirate groups are strong, they have not yet been able to convince all the other pirates.

Profik felt that the reason why the Navy Headquarters and the World Government acquiesced to the "World Economic News" calling the four super pirate groups the "Yonko" was probably because they wanted to use this to provoke internal struggles among the pirates. The purpose of killing. Its intention is probably to provoke the following mentality in the rest of the pirate group:

"Okay, you guys are called the Emperors of the Sea, right? Come on, let's have a fight."

If this strategy can really attract a few young talents like Barrett to challenge, it may pose some challenges to the Yonko. But judging from the subsequent development of things, no matter what calculations the world government made, they failed. The four emperors stabilized their footing, successfully gained their own territory in the new world, and grew into behemoths.

Even if "Red Haired" Shanks replaced Wang Zhi and became the new Four Emperors, that would already be ten years later. The Five Peaks Pirates even managed to preserve Honeycomb Island, the base camp inherited from the Rocks Pirates. It was not until the Rocky Port incident that the Blackbeard Pirates took over the Honeycomb with the "help" of their trusted "Navy Hero" Kirby. island.

It can be seen from this that if the election of the four major pirate groups as the Four Emperors is really a strategy of the World Government or the Navy Headquarters, then it can be said that they have failed miserably.

Having said that, with the emergence of the Four Emperors, the trend on the sea will definitely undergo new changes.
