As Ron and Ace began special training with the help of Thatch, the Moby Dick was also heading rapidly towards the Honeycomb Island.
But at this moment the world is in uproar.
First thing.
That is, Whitebeard and Kaido joined forces to destroy the G5 base, completely destroying the navy's hope and possibility to continue expanding its influence in the New World.
The second thing.
Kaido defeated the former Navy Admiral Zephyr single-handedly. This news made countless pirates cheer, but countless people also expressed disappointment towards the pirates.
After all, Zephyr, as a former admiral of the navy, was directly defeated by Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and even had his naval base destroyed by him. The meaning of this is something that many people can understand and know.
The third thing.
That's the message about Ron.
Whitebeard's successor.
A super supernova who was offered a bounty of 300 million berries by the Navy right after his debut.
For a time, the bounty on Ron appeared on the desks of the leaders of various forces around the world at the first possible moment.
Ron
[Identity: Whitebeard's successor]
Age: 14
[Possessing the domineering aura of the king, and a devil fruit ability that is suspected to be of the animal type and mythical beast type. ]
[This boy is invincible among his peers, extremely dangerous, regardless of life or death. ]
New world, all nations.
"Mmmm~"
"Old fellow Whitebeard actually has an heir."
"An animal-type mythical beastman with supernatural powers, and invincible among his peers? Those guys in the navy are really exaggerating."
Charlotte Lingling looked at the bounty order in front of her with a strange expression, but more of it was ridicule, disbelief and amusement.
Although it can be seen from this bounty that Ron has great potential, except for his identity as Whitebeard's successor, he is really not worthy of the bounty of 300 million berries.
"Mom, this must be the navy's way of killing someone with a borrowed knife!"
At this time, Katakuri on the side said: "This guy named Roan has potential. After all, a man who awakens the Conqueror's Haki is not weak."
"In addition, he is very likely a user of the Animal-type Mythical Beast Species, which means that he will have a very high ceiling. In the future, he may become the Vice-President, or even a higher level."
"Plus, Whitebeard recognized him as his successor, which caused the navy to be extremely wary of him. However, they did not dare to risk offending Whitebeard by attacking or assassinating him, so they issued such a bounty order to let others kill him."
After these words were spoken, Perospero and others beside him nodded.
Just as Katakuri said, although this incident is shocking, as long as we analyze it rationally, we can see the purpose of the navy.
After all, this is an open conspiracy of the navy.
The purpose is to let those who do not want to see Roan's rise take action to annihilate him, thereby diverting the anger and murderous intent of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Mom~"
At this time, Cracker hesitated and said, "Since this man is Whitebeard's successor, isn't he very dangerous? Do you want us to annihilate him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Owen and others on the side twitched their lips.
I just said that this was a conspiracy of the navy, but Cracker actually wanted to kill Ron. This is simply...
"unnecessary!"
Waving her hands, the aunt looked at Cracker speechlessly.
If he wasn't her own son, or even one of the generals, she would have the urge to beat such a stupid guy to death.
Then, Big Mom spoke up, "But we have to take this boy seriously. For someone who was recognized by Whitebeard and even announced as the heir so early, he must have a big secret."
"Katakuri, pass the order down. If the members of the Big Mam Pirates encounter this guy, invite him to visit the Wano Country. Mom is also very curious about this guy's abilities."
"Yes! Mom!"
Hearing this, Katakuri immediately agreed.
The members of the Charlotte family around them also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the aunt said she would not attack him, that was the best news for them.
…
"Three hundred million Baileys!"
"Whitebeard's successor?"
In the New World, on an island, Shanks looked at the bounty order for Ron in front of him, and his expression became solemn and serious.
After all, he has his own plans and goals.
Luffy is now fourteen or fifteen years old, and has only been going to sea for about the next two years.
But Ron is about the same age as Luffy, but now he has been recognized by Whitebeard and becomes the heir.
If this child is really allowed to grow up, he will probably become a huge obstacle and hidden danger.
"Boss, this little brat is a bit troublesome!"
"Does it need to be sorted out?"
Beckman spoke quietly.
As one of the smartest people in the One Piece world, Beckman was the first to see the hidden dangers that Ron would bring.
The Whitebeard Pirates are already at the end of their strength, and they even think that it won't take many years before Whitebeard completely collapses, and by then the collapse of the Whitebeard Pirates will be a foregone conclusion.
Even if there is no collapse, they have already made preparations for the rest.
For example, Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although it was not controlled by them, there is no doubt that Ace's words in the Whitebeard Pirates were beneficial to them.
Even if he doesn't care about Roger's face and the goodwill of the Red Hair Pirates, as Luffy's brother, Ace will definitely help Luffy when he enters the New World. At that time...
"Why?"
"This little guy is only fourteen years old, about the same age as Luffy. He's not threatening at all."
Lakilu on the side disagreed.
After these words were spoken, many members of the Red Hair Pirates nodded.
Not everyone knows how ruthless Shanks is. Although they all feel that Ron may be strong in the future, they don't take him seriously now.
"We can't do it ourselves."
As the crew members each had their own opinions, Shanks slowly raised his head and said, "Ron is very dangerous, and his existence has deprived Ace of his future and possibilities."
"As long as this person is in the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no possibility for Ace to rise to the top, nor is there any possibility for him to take over the Whitebeard Pirates as we expected."
"Beckman, go to the underground world and issue a bounty. The reward is 1 billion Baileys for killing Ron, but you must be clean and don't let anyone know that it was us who issued it."
"yes!"
Beckman nodded, the corners of his mouth raised.
He extremely approved of Shanks's decision. He immediately walked aside, picked up the Den Den Mushi and started contacting people in the underground world.
