Chapter 272 The Heat-Heat Fruit User
Chapter 272 The Heat-Heat Fruit User
On the Ark's prophecy, as we leave the Devil's Triangle and head towards the Grand Line Paradise.
Everyone in the Luo Ji World Group is watching today's big news.
The World Economic News Agency's newspaper published three issues in one day, giving extensive coverage to yesterday's Impel Down and Enies Lobby incidents.
The news that Gecko Moria had been dealt with by the Loki World Pirates was sent to Morgans by Robin and Violet, who earned a reward for the information.
However, amidst the major events at Impel Down and Enies Lobby, the news about Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was still not enough to draw attention.
It's estimated that news about Gecko Moria won't appear until the next day.
Luo Ji's revelations are enough to keep Morgans' editors busy writing gossip news for days.
It must be said that Morgans knows how to grab attention and create buzz.
Between the news reports about the major events in Impel Down and Enies Lobby, they kept inserting scandals about various high-ranking officials, resulting in several extra pages of newspapers and making a few more rounds of money.
Morgans caught the enormous fortune that Luo Ji threw at him with ease.
This guy is a ruthless individual capable of intercepting World Government intelligence; he even dared to eavesdrop on CP0 agents' Den Den Mushi communications.
Their skills and courage are both top-notch.
He also knew some information that even Luo Ji didn't know.
This time, they all took the opportunity to incorporate the fascinating stories of these high-ranking officials, captivating audiences around the world as if they were watching a grand drama.
"Is this news true or false? Was Sengoku's first love really forcibly married by a Celestial Dragon?"
Even the refined Earl of Red couldn't resist indulging his gossipy nature and was eager to ascertain the truth of these rumors.
"Haha, does Kizaru often get lectured and scolded by Zephyr?"
When Aramaki saw in the newspaper that Zephyr had called Kizaru a piece of trash and a cripple in physical combat, he burst into laughter.
He remembered reading in the newspapers of the member states that the three admirals were already considered monsters even in their rookie days.
Why is it that Kizaru always gets scolded by his teacher?
"The reason why Iron Fist Garp refused to be promoted to Marine Admiral was that he also had a crush on Sengoku's first love?"
Holy crap!
Sengoku chose to hide his hatred in order to advance his career, while Garp openly expressed his displeasure with the Celestial Dragons.
When the scandal in the newspaper was reported, not only Luo Ji was speechless, but everyone else was also dumbfounded.
Morgans is really daring in his writing.
Is he really not afraid that the powerful figures of the World Government and the Navy will kill him?
"These news stories are terrible! Where's my new bounty?! Where's my money?!"
Bonnie slammed the newspaper on the table, looking just like Uncle Dong in a fit of anger, her brows furrowed tightly.
She really wasn't interested in these gossip stories about the older generation at all.
All she wanted to know was how much her new bounty had increased.
In one of the three newspapers, she actually saw a small picture of her burning the World Government flag in a corner, which made her very unhappy.
Her heroic act of burning the flag to declare war on the World Government once again was completely ignored.
Even the pages of gossip news, whose veracity is uncertain, have more space than her.
She's angry!
"Sweetie! Eat your watermelon!"
Luo Ji handed a slice of watermelon to the sulking Bonnie, expressing the good captain's concern for his sister.
"Brother Luo Ji, why don't we attack another naval stronghold?"
Robin's sister said that there is a G2 naval fortress near the Kingdom of Lulusia.
Not far from the Sky Island, there is also a G8 naval fortress.
Bonnie now wants to create some big events to suppress the gossip and rumors.
This is infuriating.
Morgans, that unethical news king, actually makes money from these boring news stories.
"Bonnie, you must remember that those despicable Celestial Dragons are our true enemies."
These naval forces are not our target.
Luo Ji stroked Bonnie's pink-haired head, trying to soothe the irritable little princess.
"I never expected that Captain Luo Ji was actually the Emperor of the Sea, Luo Ji, one of the Five Emperors and the Godslayer."
Brooke, with his limited access to information, was once again utterly shocked after learning about the Luo Ji World Group from various newspapers.
It seems he's joined an amazing pirate crew.
The bounties offered for each official were outrageously high.
It turns out that Redfield also escaped from Impel Down yesterday, and his situation doesn't seem to be much better than Brooke's.
After learning about the bounties of over two billion for Yamato, Aramaki, Issho, and Ookuma, Barrett's eyes became even sharper.
No wonder Crocodile and that lightning guy went through so much trouble to try and raise the bounty.
It turns out that the bounties for these two nature-type guys are so much lower than those for the top-tier officers on the ship.
Barrett's bounty more than 20 years ago was less than Crocodile's bounty today.
Although he only pursues strength and doesn't care much about these bounty numbers, he can't have fewer than weaklings like Crocodile.
They should be at least on the same level as the four members of the Wildwood Clan, or even higher.
Crocodile and Hanafzai finally found Gecko Moria to amuse them.
This guy was shouting, "We are mortal enemies with Yamato! We swear we will never surrender!"
Neither of them cared, since Luo Ji had already decided to alter Gecko Moria's memories anyway.
They were too lazy to persuade Moria to surrender anymore, but they could still have some fun.
Perona and Dr. Hogback were trembling with fear, and even the Invisible Absalom turned pale with fright.
There were so many monsters on this ship, it was terrifying.
There are three Shichibukai of the Sea who are on par with their captain, Gecko Moria.
Moreover, Crocodile and Hanafza's status doesn't seem to be very high.
Even top-tier powerhouses at the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are only mid-level powerhouses on this ship.
This is terrifying.
"Luo Ji, we've arrived at the Flag Islands you're looking for."
Violet came to report on the itinerary; their Grand Line voyage was also very time-sensitive.
They also needed to rush back to the New World to deliver the spoils back to the Vegapunk Research Laboratory on Zou Island.
"Capture that family who have the Heat-Heat Fruit ability and then leave."
Luo Ji assigned tasks, and with activists like Yamato and Enel around, there was no fear of a lack of work.
"Understood! The pointer for the next target, the long roundabout, is ready."
Violet turned around with a flourish, leaving behind a capable and efficient figure.
Luo Ji chuckled slightly. What a capable and good woman.
The Achino clan of the Flag Islands are known as the Pirate Flag Hunters, specializing in capturing pirate crews passing through this sea area.
Even supernovas with bounties of hundreds of millions might not be able to defeat Don Achino's Heat-Heat Fruit ability.
This ability can reach temperatures of up to 10,000 degrees Celsius, making even metal weapons seem like toys in its hands, easily melting them.
Not to mention the mortal body.
Even if a Supernova encountered him, a rookie pirate crew that hadn't mastered Armament Haki would probably be defeated at sea.
But today, they actually encountered the Fifth Emperor, who had come to them on his own initiative, and was the absolute protagonist of their newspaper.
It didn't take much time for the Achino clan to be defeated by Enel, and the entire clan was captured.
Seraph's candidate Paramecia-type ability increased by one.
