"This is the highlight of today's meeting."
Blanu returned to the whiteboard, his gaze sweeping across the room as he solemnly spoke:
"The second-tier members of the Endgame crew, the key officers beneath the captain, total three in number."
"Our advisory department, after evaluation and discussion, has temporarily named this tier 'Three Calamities', these few who are destined to bring countless misfortunes to the world!"
"Their level of importance is equivalent to the 'Three Great Billboards' of the Hundred Beasts Pirates and the 'Four Sweet Commanders' of the Charlotte family!"
Blanu's right hand heavily slapped towards the silent, reserved man wearing a plush bear ear hat on the left:
"On the far left is a newcomer who joined just before this war... or perhaps secretly joined long ago, unbeknownst to us -- the 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Kuma!"
"Once single-handedly orchestrated the 'One-Man Revolution', illegally seized the throne of the South Sea Sobel Kingdom, and recently, stormed into Dressrosa alone, defeating the entire Donquixote family!"
"In this war, the strength he demonstrated was astonishing."
"Almost overwhelming throughout, effortlessly exterminating Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability User and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, on the spot, with his own injuries... almost negligible!"
"Such strength, such brutal and dangerous nature... the original bounty of 600 million doesn't match him anymore, not at all! Without a doubt on this!"
"Therefore, after evaluation, the headquarters has unanimously agreed to raise his bounty to 870 million Belly!"
"Thus, he is one of the 'Three Calamities', known as 'Thunder Meteor'!"
870 million?!
Upon hearing this number, many in the Navy gasped in shock.
No wonder it was said that the level of attention towards these three will be elevated to the ranks of Marco and Katakuri…
Just the bounty alone is already quite close to theirs!
"Next is the one on the far right."
Blanu skipped the warrant in the middle and directly turned to the right side of the screen, continuing:
"Just half a year ago, he was an obscure individual, but now he is a pillar-level officer cultivated entirely by the Endgame crew, devotedly loyal to Shano, possessing the precious Ancient ability 'Wild Elephant' Jack!"
"Reckless and impulsive, he enjoys fighting and combat, and his strength is steadily improving!"
"In the last combat report, he was only capable of stampeding around as a mammoth, but this time, he has adeptly mastered the half-beastification combat stance."
"Dalmatia and Doberman, two renowned veteran Vice Admirals from headquarters, couldn't stand against him even when joining forces, suffering a crushing defeat."
Is that true?
The high-ranking Naval officers present all dramatically changed their expressions, some narrowing their eyes.
These two are prominent disciples cultivated by Mr. Zephyr, having risen to Vice Admiral over a decade ago, with strength ranked among the top of all Vice Admirals.
Yet even combined, they were utterly no match…
Another troublesome monster!
"Based on this, Jack's original bounty of 500 million Belly is now set at 777 million Belly!"
"He is one of the 'Three Calamities', known as 'Earthquake'!"
Earthquake, huh?
The Navy attendees nodded thoughtfully, as the disturbance caused by the mammoth's charge indeed felt like an earthquake.
The title is rather fitting.
"After these two, we need to focus on introducing the highest core member among the three calamities, highly trusted by Shano -- Deputy Captain, 'Gale Sword Master' Kuina!"
Blanu's palm slammed heavily onto the warrant in the middle!
The photo showed a black-haired girl, holding the Wado Ichimonji, standing at the top of a wind-swept icy tundra, her expression cold, long hair tied up, disheveled and flying due to the air currents, exposing several bloodstains on her forehead and cheeks.
Yet these bloodstains did not mar her looks or aura, but rather added a touch of sharp, sword-like heroism between her brows.
"Before entering the New World, this Female Sword Master's combat record was already quite impressive, and recently, her strength, especially her physique, has significantly improved!"
"Previously at the Shampodi Islands, this woman barely managed to hold off Mr. Tokikake for about an hour, but in this war, she battled with Vice Admiral Gion from noon till late at night without losing ground!"
"According to Vice Admiral Gion's assessment, her swordsmanship cultivation has become extremely close to hers, and she can be regarded as the woman standing at the pinnacle of swordsmanship within the Pirate Camp, without exception!"
"Her new bounty is set at 940 million Belly! As one of the 'Three Calamities', known as 'Wind Erosion'!"
The conference room was filled with smoke, and some members of the Navy were already starting to feel numb.
Each bounty is higher than the last, with the Deputy Captain nearly breaking through a billion; then the captain of the Endgame crew, standing at the top, should be…
"Lastly, there's the one everyone is most concerned about, the World's No.1 Sword Master, recognized across the entire One Piece Chronology, a true monster --"
"Captain of the Endgame Pirates, Shano!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the new warrant emerged, enlarged several times, completely filling the screen.
It was still the photo taken in the heavy rain at Shampodi -- a handsome black-haired, black-dressed, black-eyed youth walking step by step toward the camera, his hand reaching for the sword behind him, eyes mocking and indifferent, with a god-like demeanour.
