Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 57
Kaido the Hundred Beasts – Reward of 1.6 Billion Bells, life or death.
The news they brought is pretty shocking. It’s about the reward update. Kaido’s reward has been rounded up to 1.6 billion Bells, and he has been given a new picture with the prefix of the Beast.
In the eyes of the Marines, Kaido’s escape from the branch base is no longer a big deal.
This also has something to do with Olga because, this time, Kaido didn’t escape on his own but was rescued.
Although Olga and Elizabeth just opened a lock, the Marines don’t think so, and they put a big part of the reason for Kaido’s escape on Olga.
The reasoning is simple: letting a pirate escape on his own from the custody of a branch chief and having him rescued by someone else are two completely different concepts.
Though both are humiliating, it’s better to be robbed than to have a prisoner escape on his own.
It was also Hadlow’s operation. He was a retiring lieutenant general who had encountered such a thing, and he was helpless inside.
If the coast defense guns had not fired and Kaido had left the base, there would not have been any casualties.
It was only the heat from Kaido’s return attack that caused them a lot of damage.
The base commander was responsible for the escape of the inmates and the damage done to the base, so his retirement package was downgraded from lieutenant general to major general, which wasn’t too much of a punishment.
This has to do with his definition of the event, which is that Kaido’s escape was due to the intervention of external factors.
In return, Olga and Elizabeth get their own reward warrants.
Who is the strongest agent in the world? It is not the CP0 who is known as the strongest shield of the Tian Long people, nor is it the CP9 who is unknown to the public, and those detectives in the underground world are not even ranked in the DC.
This is the strongest, and it belongs to the world government and the Marine photographers.
Wanted persons need photos, and most of the sources of these photos are photographers, down to millions of small pirates, up to monsters like Rocks.
No one wanted by the World Government could escape the photographer’s lens.
Whether it’s an empty island in the sky or Fishman Island in the deep sea, you can always find them.
They are definitely the best in the world at a sneak peek.
Unless something happens and the photographer forgets to take off the cover of the camera, no one can hide from them.
This is how Olga and Elizabeth’s pictures got on the wanted list, but these photographers are not infallible, and at least Olga and Elizabeth’s real faces have yet to be exposed.
At least the real faces of Olga and Elizabeth haven’t been revealed yet, just two of Zoroark and Thousand Faces standing on Kaido’s flaming cloud, which the Marines failed to take down but did take pictures of.
These are not the photos taken by the telephone bugs that were monitoring the base, but the ones taken by the bugs were the illusions released by Olga’s power, and only when Olga was not strong enough was she photographed in her transformed form.
Because of the Beast’s lack of action, the wanted list does not even have a name but is only labeled as a prison robber, and the bounty for both of them is a uniform 50 million dollars.
Olga didn’t have a head-to-head fight, and those marines needed to figure out whose powers the illusions actually were.
“Is that all there is to it?”
To Kaido, the renewal of the reward order was no big deal, and he was long past the age of being happy about being rewarded.
“No, but the only thing left to do is the Marines’s business… The family of the Marines Headquarters Admiral that black-fisted Zephyr has been killed!”
As soon as he said that, a hand made of evil energy took away the newspaper he was holding. The death of Zephyr’s family was one of the big events in Arceus’s memory.
The death of the Zephyr family was one of the major events in Arceus’ memory. It signaled a change of heart for the admiral of the Marines, and although he retained the title of admiral at the behest of his superiors, he retired to the background and became the Marines’s chief instructor, training a large number of cornerstones of the Marines for the rest of his life.
Flame and water were inconvenient when holding paper objects, and the four stone tablets allowed him to gradually perfect his powers, using all kinds of energy hands with ease.
“Zephyr is still a loser.”
The newspaper’s news was written in detail: Zephyr’s family was unfortunately attacked, the world government expressed their sorrow, and the murderer was arrested by the Marines and escorted to Pushing City.
He never killed pirates, but they killed his entire family. That’s what he got for following his “no-kill” philosophy.
It’s even more outrageous that the Shogun’s family wasn’t adequately protected by a few unknown pirates who weren’t even killed on the spot.
It’s possible that Zephyr offended someone, and a conspiracy arose, and Zephyr’s position with the World Government is questionable.
There are so many pirates on the sea, and there is more than one person who can afford the position of the Seven Musketeers, but they choose to let Zephyr break his arm and kill his disciples, which is just like rubbing salt in the wound.
If they were in their right mind, they wouldn’t have done such a thing.
Everyone knows that the city is a place for people to suffer, but it is only through bloodshed and the killing of one’s enemies that one can find some peace of mind.
Zephyr will do this, but only because of the Marines’s rules. To comply with the rules to this point, in addition to the sarcasm, he did not know what to say well.
“So this is the Marines, countless rules and regulations, the dogs of the Dragons, but the food on the prison ship is really good.”
Kaido was biased and resistant to the Marines, which was normal. You couldn’t expect a pirate to praise the Marines. People would always find a more reasonable-sounding explanation for their behavior.
His resistance to the Marines wasn’t that high at first, until the King of Wokka forced him to join the world’s conscription of the Marines, and his rebelliousness decided him to take this path, and he spent his adolescence on the Rocks ship again.
In the beginning, he is a “young man of honor” who can question his fellow countrymen about why he has to be a dog for the Dragons and why he has to pay up the gold in the sky.
The deaths of the Zephyr family were like a wake-up call but also hit the Marines in the face. As the Marines’ highest combatant, the safety of his family could not be guaranteed, and for a while, the number of enlisted personnel in the Marines was reduced to a certain extent.
However, this refers to the grassroots soldiers. Some gifted people saw the chaos in the sea, some people chose to go out to sea to become pirates, and others joined the Marines to realize their ideals.
“By the way, your empowerment abilities are also divided into strengths and weaknesses, right?” Kaido suddenly asked a question as he drove those minions to move the supplies.
“Of course, the ones you’ve seen now are the stronger ones, but Queen’s should be the weakest. After all, he’s the one who uses the least amount of energy. Why?”
“Nothing, there’s 14 more to find. Make sure you reserve a stronger ability for me.”
