Three days later, a piece of news shocked the entire world.
Whether it was the New World, the Grand Line, East Blue, West Blue, or other places that received news, all were more or less shocked by this incident.
Dragon Knight Ye Chen appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, openly bombing Auction House 76.
Auction House 76 belonged to the Celestial Dragons, and it was the largest one. Ye Chen bombing Auction House 76 was already an open provocation.
If it were just plundering the Celestial Tribute, people would be shocked but wouldn't feel much. But bombing Auction House 76 was a blatant provocation to the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
If this piece of news showed Ye Chen's audacity.
Then a subsequent piece of news left many people dumbfounded.
"Admiral Kizaru appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago and fought Ye Chen, suffering injuries. New World Great Pirate Kaido appeared and was repelled."
As soon as this news broke, some individuals who had been sharpening their swords to find Ye Chen fell silent.
Kizaru represented the highest combat power of the Marines, and Kaido was one of the strongest pirates in the New World.
Both of them appearing could not keep Ye Chen, and instead were repelled and injured.
Then, the depth of Ye Chen's strength was beyond their ability to deal with.
Many pirate crews that had previously declared they would hunt down Ye Chen immediately vanished, hiding their tracks, fearing that Ye Chen would find and slaughter them all.
No kidding, although their strength was good, they were not on the same level as Kaido and Kizaru. Kizaru was injured; for them to go would be like throwing an egg at a rock.
With the two pieces of news, the World Government quickly made an announcement: "Worldwide pursuit of Dragon Knight Ye Chen."
This news surprised many. The World Government rarely came out to pursue someone like this.
Basically, it was always the Marines who spoke, rarely the World Government.
However, many people also understood that Ye Chen provoking the Celestial Dragons in this way forced the World Government to act. Otherwise, if a precedent like Ye Chen were set, there would be a second one.
In that case, the travel of the Celestial Tribute and the travel of the Celestial Dragons would be big problems.
Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku, Garp, the three Admirals, Zephyr, and other high-ranking Marine officials were all gathered there.
"Kizaru, you fought Ye Chen. How strong is he?" Sengoku asked Kizaru.
Kizaru shed his lazy demeanor, his expression grave: "Very strong."
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku is asking about Ye Chen himself, not his mount," Akainu said.
Sengoku nodded. "Akainu is right. I'm asking about Ye Chen himself."
Kizaru revealed a wry smile: "I am talking about Ye Chen himself. If he didn't use Armament Haki, it would be difficult for me to determine the winner."
As soon as these words came out, the high-ranking Marine officials in the room were all shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
Kizaru was a Marine Admiral, a figure at the peak of the Marines, yet he couldn't determine a winner against a mere brat.
"This... this is impossible, Kizaru," Tsuru said in a lost voice, looking at Kizaru.
"If it weren't for relying on abilities, it would indeed be difficult for me to determine the winner against him. His swordsmanship has surpassed most people," Kizaru recalled Ye Chen's Draw Slash, still startled.
He knew very well that if it were the effect of fluidity, he would have died then.
"Kizaru said so, so that brat Ye Chen should have Admiral-level strength. Plus his mount... His danger needs to be re-evaluated," Sengoku scratched his head, feeling a huge headache.
Just now, the Celestial Dragons had spoken, demanding that they capture Ye Chen within a month, no matter what, dead or alive.
But the Sky Dragon already gave them a headache, and Ye Chen's strength was still so great.
How could two Admiral-level figures pursue him?
Moreover, the Sky Dragon had an aerial advantage. If Ye Chen wanted to leave, they could only stare helplessly.
"Since he hasn't learned Armament Haki yet, we still have an advantage. I suggest dispatching two Admirals to pursue Ye Chen now," Akainu stood up and said sternly.
"That dragon can hurt us," Kizaru suddenly said.
Akainu's face instantly stiffened, and he said angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I hadn't finished speaking, how could I say anything?" Kizaru glanced at Akainu and said.
"You..." Akainu stared intently at Kizaru, then snorted coldly and sat back down.
"I'll go then. It's been a while since I've had a workout." At this moment, Garp, who had been eating donuts, suddenly spoke.
"Garp, are you serious?" Sengoku looked at Garp.
"Haha, Sengoku... Of course, I'm serious," Garp chuckled.
"Alright, then Garp will pursue Ye Chen. Ye Chen's bounty is raised to 500 million Berries," Sengoku said.
...
Ye Chen didn't know that Garp had volunteered to pursue him, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. He had already offended Kaido, so adding Garp was nothing.
