The elephant-headed boat surged in, and the man, who was over eight meters tall, drew ever closer.
Amidst the turmoil, the elephant-headed ship, much smaller than the Golden Lion, charged at the adult with the ferocity and fearlessness of a child.
Bang!
The elephant head at the bow of the ship crashed heavily into the hull of the Golden Lion amidst the waves. The elephant head was smashed to pieces, with fragments flying everywhere, but this also meant that the ship had come very close to the Golden Lion.
"superior!!"
Jack pulled two Shorter knives, resembling lawnmowers, from behind his neck, gripped them in his hands, and with a roar, leaped into the air and landed on the deck of the Golden Lion.
"Oh~ such a big size, yet so agile?"
Kuro looked up, pouted, and said, "How scary."
Click.
Yixiao drew his staff-sword, gripped it in the back of his hand, and swung it upwards with force.
The lateral gravity almost materialized, like a rectangular frame added to the storm, striking directly at Jack in the air.
"Um!!"
Jack's eyes widened, and he gripped the knife with both hands, slashing down with tremendous force. The scythe-like blade gained an extra layer of domineering aura, resisting the impact of gravity. His body in the air only shifted slightly backward and was not completely blown away.
"Oh? Can it withstand your power, brother?" Kuro asked, somewhat surprised.
"After all, it's a billion. Kaido's three top lieutenants are not so easy to obtain," Tsuru said, shaking her head.
Kuro glanced at the ivory ornament. "So I have some reservations about our bounty assessment system, but there's no need to save the government money."
Jack the Drought, one of the three great members of Kaido's Beasts Pirates, looks to be in his thirties or forties, but is actually only in his mid-twenties, even a bit older than Clow Reed.
A bounty of 1 billion, a Zoan-type fruit, an ancient species, mammoth form.
It is called a 'drought' because nothing grows wherever it goes.
He is exceptionally violent and reckless, and also very stubborn.
They have a history of destroying a country.
Pirate bounties are different now than they were decades ago. The Great Pirate Era has produced a group of dangerous individuals who, while not particularly strong, are extremely destructive.
Decades ago, pirates would have been armed with a high-tech rifle, while today's pirates are at most armed with a pistol or a flintlock pistol.
But for defenseless civilians, any gun can kill them.
These flintlock muskets and pistols killed many people and caused great destruction, so they were naturally dangerous.
Nowadays, the bounty on pirates is more based on their perceived danger.
Otherwise, how could a straw hat have 500 million?
After the Dressrosa incident, the Navy learned of the situation and increased the bounty for the Thief King from 400 million to 100 million.
But if we were to calculate the bounty based on skill...
Five hundred million?
Even the weakest of the Straw Hat crew members with the long nose has 200 million.
What does 200 million mean?
Kuro had to be cautious about any of the old guys who came out from the sixth floor, especially those with a net worth of 200 million.
If someone invests 500 million, they should be prepared to abscond.
If it's a billion, then just call headquarters directly.
As for Jack's billion...
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Jack's arms bulged with veins as he pressed down, managing to break through the horizontal gravity and force his body, which had been suspended in mid-air, to begin pressing in.
"Oh? It's broken open a little. As expected of a member of the Beasts Pirates."
Yixiao gripped the staff and sword tighter, preparing to make a move, when at that moment, Kuro raised his hand and swung it forward.
The surrounding storm changed direction, bringing with it a powerful gust of wind that lashed at Jack.
Sizzle!
Like knives, the storm ripped countless wounds across Jack's body.
But soon, these wounds healed.
"The healing power of Zoan-type characters is truly terrifying," Kuro shrugged.
"Hmm!! Come on! Come on!! Fight me!"
Jack was roaring in the air.
They seemed to be treating the four people in front of them like complete noobs.
Yes, former Fleet Admiral, now Inspector General of the Navy Sengoku.
Vice Admiral, Chief of Naval Staff, He.
Admiral Fujitora of the Navy Headquarters smiled.
And Lucilfer Kuro, the current Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Admiral Candidate, directly under Admiral Kizaru, the second-in-command of Kizaru's faction, and the base commander of G-3.
The look in his eyes seemed to completely disregard them.
"You're still the bravest one."
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, looked at Jack with a mocking expression.
He originally thought the bravest person was Frank, the bravest person he had ever seen in his life, so brave that Kuro thought this person's head needed to be washed in the ocean to be saved.
But he was wrong. Yong is still the same Yong.
After all, Frank was terrified when he saw them.
Even though Jack saw them, he still wanted to charge.
If he's not brave, who is?
A billionaire did something that only a billionaire could do; of course he was brave.
"But if I just let you get on my boat like this, where will I put my face..."
Kuro lowered his hand and gripped the hilt of the sword.
brush!
A black light flashed in the storm, and the autumn water surged instantly, bringing with it a black and gold outlined with a crimson bottom, which rushed directly below Jack.
The slash missed him.
Bang!
However, the next moment, Jack heard a loud bang. He turned around and saw that his ship had been split in two. The pirates on board were falling into the sea with screams.
