One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix.

Chapter 164 The storm is rising

New world.

On the white Moby Dick, the mature-looking Marco shook his blond punk hair and walked quickly towards the center of the ship.

There sat the core of the entire Whitebeard Pirates, the strongest man in the world, "Whitebeard Edward Newgate".

"Dad, this guy's bounty has increased again!"

Since attracting Whitebeard's attention two years ago, Marco and others have been paying attention to each other's information every day.

On the throne in the center of the deck, which symbolized status, a tall man wearing a white gold-rimmed cloak was sipping wine.

After drinking happily, some transparent liquid flowed down the squirming neck and scratched the new scars in the past two years.

Taking the fresh newspaper from Marco's hand, the long blond hair disappeared and was replaced by a black turban.

After all, time has left indelible marks on this man's body. No matter how strong he is, he admits that he is old.

"Gu la la la, I didn't expect Garp's granddaughter to be very powerful. The reward has reached 20 billion."

Looking around at his "sons" with adoring eyes, Whitebeard smiled proudly.

"Marco, if I remember correctly, your bounty seems to be 10 billion beli."

With a look of shame on his face, Marco scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's really embarrassing to be surpassed by a little girl."

"Marco, you are so mean."

"Marco, if you can't do it, just give me the position of captain of the first team."

Hearing the teasing of "brothers", Marco raised his fist and said, "If you want to be the captain of the first team, beat me!"

"Gu la la la, my sons find this girl and let her join the Whitebeard Pirates!!"

"Yes!"

……

The country of Wano, the island of ghosts.

Kaido, who was drunk and unconscious, was lying drunkenly on the highest seat in the hall. The wine gourd with the word "sky" on it rolled down from his hanging arm, and the precious wine spilled all over the floor.

As the deputy, Jhin was helpless and could only forcefully wake up the man, "Brother Kaido, wake up!"

The tightly closed eyes opened a crack, and the residual red color on his face meant that the alcohol had not dissipated. Kaido looked at the two Jin in front of him and said to himself, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Kaido, the female navy has appeared, and the reward has been increased to 20 billion beli."

His body glowed red, and a burst of white mist with the smell of alcohol came out. Kaido, who was completely out of his drunken state, opened his mouth and asked excitedly: "Where is she!"

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost 3% of Wano's output."

"The first half of the Grand Line!"

Knowing the character of Brother Kaido, Jhin had found out An's location long before he came here.

"Tell my men to keep an eye on her and let me know as soon as she arrives in the new world."

……

New World, Torrant Sea, Cake Island.

"Hurry up and ask the baguette chef to bring the dessert," Perospero said, holding the newspaper and preparing to report to Big Mom, just in time to catch up with the other party's thiasis attack.

“Dessert, dessert, I want dessert!!”

The eyes painted with purple eyeshadow suddenly opened wide, and the scarlet eyes and blood-open mouth brought a strong visual impact to everyone present.

Corrosive saliva fell from the corners of his mouth, and obvious pits appeared one after another. Big Mom, who was unconscious, grabbed Homiz who was present with his huge palm and swallowed him.

For a moment, the gorgeous hall was in chaos, and in the chaos, the newspaper in Perospero's hand fell without knowing where it was.

……

Red Forth.

The red-haired Shanks took An's reward order and focused on the "Deputy Leader of the Revolutionary Army" marked on the front. Then he turned to his companions behind him and said in a deep voice: "Beckman, the world is starting to turn."

Compared with the theatrical performance of other major forces, the Revolutionary Army had a huge headache. A large number of Revolutionary Army cadres asked through phone bugs whether the reward order was true.

Ignoring the noise inside the base, Dolag walked outside, stared at the white soil rolling up in the sky, and thought about the proposal given by An before leaving.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

Using the reward order in his hand, he severely slapped Garp's big hand that was reaching for his drawer. Warring States roared and shouted: "Garp, look what you have taught An!"

Withdrawing the red mark on the back of his hand, Garp muttered: "What, just forget it if you don't give it, why do you still hit people?"

"Not only will I beat you, I'll also kick you!"

The domineering big foot wrapped around Sakura kicked out hard, and Garp easily dodged it in a flash.

Thinking of the explanation given by the World Government, Sengoku became very irritable. There were not enough generals in the first place, but now it is required that once traces of An are discovered, generals must be sent to capture him.

Hejian saw that if he didn't speak out, the office would become a military operation, and it would be the front page headline of tomorrow's World Economic News.

"The naval hero beat the navy marshal. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morals..."

"Please be quiet. It's useless no matter how loud the matter is. What's more important than this is why An suddenly increased the bounty."

"And this man, the first bounty was 15 billion beli. It's as we guessed. His strength is at least the level of a general," He added, slapping the bounty order in his hand on the table.

Facing the silence between the two, He continued his analysis, "More than a month ago, An rescued Fire Fist Ace and Wind Sword Kuina from Kuzan and I."

"A month later, he and this man named Fujitora Yixiao were wanted by the World Government. According to the one they chose among the seven routes of the Grand Route, the most likely place where things happened is the Devil's Triangle."

The Seven Routes refer to the seven routes from Upside Down Mountain to the Chambord Islands.

Due to the magnetism of the Grand Line, the pirates can only choose one of them. If they want to change the route, they need to return to Upside Down Mountain and make another choice.

Taking Ahe's analysis, Warring States continued: "In the past month, we have not received any news of the death of the Celestial Dragon. To attract such attention from the World Government, An must have had a head-on encounter with the World Government. "

It is indeed the two major ceilings of the navy's intelligence. In just one word, the context of the whole matter was completely stripped away.

But no matter how much they think, they can't guess the truth. Something like the King of Heaven, which only exists in legends, actually exists.

"Garp, how much do you know about the Windmill Kingdom in the East China Sea?"

At this point, He suddenly changed the topic and looked at his old friend for many years with eyes full of wisdom.

"Hahaha, Windmill Kingdom, that's a really nice country, but Ahe, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

The moment he heard this question, Sengoku knew that Ahe understood what he was thinking, and listened to the conversation between the two in silence.

"Nothing. I just saw the warships of the Windmill Kingdom in Alabasta. They are not much better than the ships of the navy, and they seem to be able to pass through the windless zone freely."

As the representative of Big Mouth, Garp showed off carelessly: "I was shocked when I saw it for the first time, but I heard from An that they didn't rely on sea-floor rocks, it seemed like something..."

Before he could finish bragging, Garp realized that he had said the wrong thing and faced the scrutinizing eyes of his two former friends.

Garp said guiltily, "Can I take back what I just said?"

"What do you think?" x2
