Chapter 179

“Nii-san, the person who fought with you yesterday was actually the pirate king deputy commander?!”

“Nii-san, you actually defeated such a legendary pirate?!”

After passing through the Florian triangle and taking Perona home to visit her family, they continue sailing toward the water 7. At this moment, a sound of exclamation suddenly sounded inside the deck. The next moment Carina and Nami rush out while holding the newspaper release today, then they look at El with admiration.

“Nii-san, you are really amazing.”

“Not only that, but El’s bounty has skyrocketed by one billion Belly, reaching 4 billion Belly.” Robin follows behind them while holding the new release bounty. “With this level of bounty, El has already squeezed into the top ten in the world. The only ones who are ranked above him are those deceased legendary pirates from the previous era and the current three emperors.”

“Too strong, as expected of Nii-san.” Carina and Nami sat on El’s side while wrapping their hands around El’s arm.

“One billion Belly?” while subconsciously touching Carina and Nami’s legs, El chuckled lightly. “I didn’t expect that after more than ten years, the Navy still attaches so much importance to that senior, as expected of the Pirate King deputy commander.”

As everyone knows, the reason why Mary Geoise and the Navy Headquarters raised his bounty to 4 billion Belly. It is completely because while he is still young his strength has already reached the pirate emperor level while also having the ability to destroy the world.

If he doesn’t have the ability to destroy the world, even if El’s strength has reached the emperor level, his still not worthy of becoming the Fourth Emperor of the Sea. After all, Shanks and Benn Beckman, both of them have the Pirate Emperor-level of strength, as well as a group of powerhouses subordinates in the new world, yet they are still one step away from reaching the top of the world.

Even if El knew the reason for his bounty skyrocketing, he just laughed it off. Just as he said to Carina and the other girls, after obtaining the Float-Float Fruit, they already have the confidence to not fear anyone, especially the major force.

Just like whitebeard who has the Quake-Quake Fruit, there are only two ways that Mary Geoise and the Navy Headquarters can deal with El. The first is to kill him before he has fully developed. The second is to wait until El becomes old like whitebeard and his body functions degenerate so severely that even the advanced armament haki cannot be used.

It’s a pity that they have missed the best opportunity to kill El since the failure on the Sabaody Archipelago. Now, even if they mobilize the three Admirals together, they can’t kill El, because among the three Admirals, except for Kizaru’s speed that he is helpless. The other two admirals can’t continuously chase them in the air even if they use Moonwalk (Geppo).

Unless they have the ability to restrain El’s air superiority, even if Sengoku and Garp join forces again, they can’t stop El from escaping, and since there is no guarantee that they will be able to capture or kill him. The Mary Geoise and the navy headquarters did not dare to act rashly.

If the world is likened to a chessboard, then the major force is the chess pieces that leave the chessboard and become the players and after becoming players unless they flip the table and stop playing, they have to abide by the rules of the game.

In order to maintain the current balance, whether it is the Four Emperors, Mary Geoise/Navy Headquarters, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they don’t rashly declare war with each other.

Mary Geoise is even more involved with Kaido, Doflamingo, and El, in secret arms deals. If at this time, Mary Geoise and the Navy Headquarters dared to attack El, then the amount of iron used to make military weapons will plummet or even ceases.

as El’s form of retaliation. Especially if El decides to smash an island to the affiliated countries under the Mary Geoise, cutting off their supply of Heavenly Tribute, or to off a tsunami to destroy the navy bases scatter all over the world, as El’s form of retaliation.

Two days later, the Pegasus returned to the place where it was born after several months and its sudden appearance in the port, caused a sensation in the entire port in an instant, and it quickly spread across the entire island.

Through the newspapers of two days ago, the people learned that the battle between “World Destroyer” El and “Dark King” Silvers Rayleigh, that destroy two islands and caused a large number of casualties among the residents on the two islands. Causing the Pegasus’s sudden appearance to a large number of pirates, businessmen, and even civilians with some ability to sail their ships and escaped from the water 7.

El didn’t care that these people treated him like Calamity, in fact, he was quite happy about it. In this way, there is no need to worry that someone will dare to disturb him or the other girls.

After making Kuina be in charge of protecting Shirahoshi and the others, El was still the same as landing in the Sabaody Archipelago, he left the team, but this time, he took Carina and Violet away with him.

“Nii-san, are we going to hunt devil fruit user?” Carina raised her brows and ask doubtfully. “In the past few years, we have been going back and forth to the Waters 7 so many times, but you didn’t take me to the hunt a devil fruit user, is it because you didn’t find someone or the other party just arrive at the Water 7?”

Since being caught by Carina that he can read people’s minds, when he does something without reason, he will no longer make an excuse. By the way, after his observation haki promotes, he finally masters his passive ability, that is to say, his mind-reading ability can freely be opened and closed.

This means that El’s psychological cleanliness has been cured, he will no longer care about the girls excluding an aura that make him feel uncomfortable.

So at some point, he can do things that are more in line with his identity as the pirate emperor, that is being really unscrupulous. Even if their hearts become ruthless and become unscrupulous like him, it doesn’t matter, because their unscrupulousness and ruthlessness will only be against their enemies never on him. In their own eyes, they still give all their tenderness to him and regard themselves as his wings.
