"You're right, Teuss. I'm going to calm down now."
Ace clenched his fists and bit his lip until blood dripped.
"That bastard Lucifer is in the New World. We're going to find him there!"
After speaking, Ace walked directly into the cabin and locked himself inside.
At this moment, Ace wasn't just feeling sad; he was also worried about Luffy, who was far away in East Blue.
"Will Luffy be very sad when he finds out that the old man is dead?"
Thinking of this, tears welled up in Ace's eyes again.
Grand Line, Baldigo, the island of White Soil...
This was the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, a place of great secrecy.
Even the CP agents from all over the world had spent more than ten years trying to find it and still hadn't succeeded.
Inside a large white stone house, many members of the Revolutionary Army were busy with daily affairs.
The Revolutionary Army's ideals had spread to many islands, and the shadow of the Revolutionary Army lay behind the fall of many countries.
A few days ago, another country ruled by a tyrannical monarch had fallen. For members of the Revolutionary Army, this was great news, and everyone was celebrating.
But only Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, still wore a serious, expressionless face.
As Dragon walked by, a member of the Revolutionary Army whispered, "Why doesn't the leader look happy?"
"Of course, the leader isn't like us. His leadership skills are extremely strong."
"I've been with the Revolutionary Army for ten years, and I've never seen the leader smile!"
Another senior member of the Revolutionary Army said.
"It's truly remarkable."
However, no one knew that Dragon was not only unhappy but also deeply saddened and furious.
On the rooftop, Dragon looked in the direction of East Blue as usual.
In his hand, he held a stack of newspapers, with news of Garp's death in battle.
The identity of Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army, had always been a mystery. Few knew anything about him, and even at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, no one knew his origin.
His true identity, however, was that he was the biological son of Marine hero Garp.
Dragon took out an iron wine bottle from his coat and poured the liquor on the ground.
"Old man, travel well."
"You never imagined you'd leave this world like this, did you?"
Even with his father's death, Dragon did not shed a tear, nor did he scream for vengeance against Lucifer.
He only had a trace of sadness in his eyes.
As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon was resolute in his mission to overthrow the World Government.
Personal grudges and hatred were insignificant compared to the cause of the organization.
It was impossible for Dragon to lead the Revolutionary Army into a fight against Lucifer simply for revenge.
"Demon Lucifer... How ambitious is this monster?"
Dragon looked at Lucifer's photo in the newspaper, his pupils flashing coldly.
That was not killing intent, but an inquiry.
Dragon had sensed Lucifer's danger long ago, and this event only confirmed his judgment even more.
Dragon was certain that Lucifer was no ordinary pirate.
Lucifer wanted more than just the Grand Line's legendary treasure—he wanted something greater.
Only one pirate like him had ever appeared: the Forbidden Lockes.
"The tide of the times is coming."
As if responding to Dragon's words, a violent gust of wind suddenly blew from the distance.
The strong winds whipped up massive waves, which struck the edge of the island with force.
Rumble!
A section of the coast of Baitu Island was swept away, shattered, and sank into the deep sea.
"Captain Lucifer, Marine's latest reward orders are out!"
On the Nether, Lucifer was sitting on the bow, enjoying the sea breeze, when Enel dropped a stack of reward orders from the mast.
"Oh? Has it finally come out?"
"I've been waiting for this!"
"Hahahaha, the rewards must be sky-high, right?"
"Don't be stupid, how much bounty can a weakling like you get? My bounty is definitely higher than yours!"
"What did you say? You wanna fight?"
"Bring it on, I'm not afraid of you!"
Pizarro the Evil King, Joate the Great Wine, and Shiryu the Rain were all very interested in their bounties.
Lucifer took the reward order and immediately saw his own bounty.
The Devil Lucifer, with a bounty of 6,052,500,000 Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, with no mercy given, dead or alive.
A bounty of 6.0525 billion Baileys, surpassing Whitebeard's 5.046 billion Baileys and One Piece Rox D. Xebec's 5.5648 billion Baileys.
Today, Lucifer is truly the world's most wanted criminal!
(The information on Lockes has been covered up, and all traces of his existence have been completely erased, so the amount of his bounty remains unknown.)
The Marine Headquarters determines the bounty based on an individual's strength and level of threat.
Clearly, in the Marine's eyes, Lucifer's strength and danger surpass even that of One Piece Rox D. Xebec.
After all, Rox D. Xebec was merely a pirate seeking freedom and never attacked Marine Headquarters or the Holy Land of Mariejois.
In contrast, Lucifer proactively invaded Impel Down and the Holy Land of Mariejois, killing countless Celestial Dragons.
Lucifer is far more dangerous than Rox D. Xebec.
The bounty alone is enough to show how much the World Government fears Lucifer!
Next came the reward orders for the members of the Ghost Pirates. There were hundreds of them.
After all, this incident caused a massive upheaval. In addition to the renewal of the reward orders for the original members of the Ghost Pirates, there were also new bounties for the pirates who escaped from Impel Down.
Behind Lucifer stood the Red Earl, and his bounty was equally terrifying.
Red Earl Baloric Redfield, with a bounty of 4,333,700,000 Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Whitebeard II, Edward Weibull, with a bounty of 1.27 billion Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Charlotte Katakuri, with a bounty of 1.157 billion Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Thor Enel, with a bounty of 1,028,000,000 Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Charlotte Smoothie, with a bounty of 932 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Shiryu of the Rain, with a bounty of 895 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
World Destroyer Byrnndi Waldo, with a bounty of 880 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Charlotte Cracker, with a bounty of 860 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
The Evil King, Abalo Pizarro, with a bounty of 838 million Baileys.
Xuanyue Hunter, Katrin Diemei, with a bounty of 798 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
San Juan Wolf, with a bounty of 770 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Dajiu Basque Choate, with a bounty of 755 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Inulan, with a bounty of 720 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
The Cat Viper, with a bounty of 715 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
White Shinigami Simon Haye, with a bounty of 644 million Baileys, dead or alive.
Guy Sa Courant, with a bounty of 622 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Jack the Ripper, with a bounty of 590 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
Weasel Cavendish, with a bounty of 535 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
The Battle Maid Baby 5, with a bounty of 510 million Baileys, has committed heinous crimes, dead or alive.
There were too many bounties to go through, so Lucifer only glanced at a few of them.
After this battle, Weibull and Enel's bounties finally exceeded one billion.
Clearly, in this battle, they had both stopped Admiral Aokiji and Kizaru respectively, showing Marine their strength.
Including Charlotte Katakuri, the Ghost Pirates now had three members with bounties over one billion.
Of course, in terms of strength, figures like Shiryu the Rain, Pizarro the Evil King, Joate the Great Wine, Byrnndi Waldo, and others were no weaker than Enel, and their bounties could definitely surpass one billion.
But since they had only just escaped from prison, it was impossible for the Marines to set their bounties over one billion right away.
If it wasn't for the massive impact of this event, and the complete destruction of Impel Down, the World Government would have done everything in their power to cover up the escape of these legendary pirates.
This reward order was likely a last resort.
In general, after the Impel Down battle, the bounties of all members of the Ghost Pirates had increased significantly.
One person with a bounty over 6 billion, one over 4 billion, and several with bounties exceeding one billion.
Five people with more than 800 million, over 30 people with more than 500 million.
There were even more criminals with bounties over 100 million.
The name of the Ghost Pirates as the strongest in the world is now truly deserved!
