CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164: EVERYONE HAS A BOUNTY, A NEW WANTED POSTER

"Tsk, tsk... If Big Mom isn’t dead, she’ll definitely hate you when she wakes up!"

A week later.

On the top floor of the Golden Hotel, Carina was looking at yesterday’s World Economic Journal. She couldn’t help but smile and tease Karl, who was lying on the long sofa next to her, playing with O-Tama.

"I didn’t expect it either. A well-intentioned reminder would actually have such a big impact."

Karl first complained with a helpless look, and then said indifferently, "If you want to take five hundred billion Berries, you can’t not pay a price."

"If she had won, even if I had only been one move short, I would have given her five hundred billion Berries."

"Since she lost, she can only blame herself for wasting her innate talent."

At this, Karl’s tone was rarely tinged with a hint of regret.

Like the envy, jealousy, and hatred of those people.

A natural monster, the darling of this world.

With her innate characteristics and potential, she was destined to stand at the top of the world from birth.

If she had fully realized her talent, she could even have become an ultimate person like the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, whose mind, technique, and body were all at the peak.

The result...

For decades, apart from eating, drinking, and giving birth, Charlotte Linlin, who could have been as slim as Kaido and possessed the ultimate talent of speed and defense, had been wasted, leaving only her powerful monstrous strength and impenetrable defense.

If Charlotte Linlin had had speed, even if Karl had developed the Superhuman Mode, it would have taken him a long time to defeat her.

It wasn’t like now, where Karl had only used less than an hour to defeat her.

A few years ago, it would have been an incredible thing.

"...When are you preparing to start the second round of challenges?"

Seeing that Karl no longer took Charlotte Linlin seriously, Carina timely changed the subject and asked.

"Let’s see how it goes..."

Karl rubbed O-Tama’s little face. Looking at O-Tama, who had grown taller than her eight-year-old self in the original story after three years of rich nutrition and professional training, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

But on the surface, he once again showed a helpless look, "According to the original plan, I had planned to challenge one a month and complete one of my dreams before April of the year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar."

"But now, those overlords will definitely not easily agree to my challenge."

"...Indeed."

Carina nodded in agreement and sighed, "Now I feel more and more that the decision to announce to the outside world that I would not be a pirate was the right one."

A large force has the advantages of a large force, and a small force has the advantages of a small force.

The former was like an emperor, reigning over the world.

Even the affiliated countries that were protected by Mary Geoise did not dare to offend, and even had to please the several sea emperors.

Otherwise, their country would be destroyed.

For example, Charlotte Linlin had once, for a certain kind of sweet, mobilized the forces of Totto Land and had conquered a country.

A huge force could decide the fate of a country with a single sentence.

But as a price... when she fell, the current situation of Totto Land was her retribution.

The latter was light and had few worries. They only needed to take care of their own small territory.

In a crisis, Nami only needed to take the Gran Tesoro and fly into the sky, and those people could only stare.

So... Carina felt that Karl’s decision not to compete for hegemony in the New World and to be a dark king was the best decision of his life.

Take in so many miscellaneous fish?

Not only do you need to make money and spend money to support them, but you also need to suspect if there are any undercover agents among them. It’s just looking for trouble.

It’s better to occupy this world’s largest entertainment city, which is only ten thousand meters long, and live a happy life with a few people without having to worry about money.

"Hehe... of course. I’m not the material for a pirate."

Karl showed a smug smile and said self-deprecatingly.

"Karl, Carina... today’s World Economic Journal is here."

While Karl and Carina were on the top floor of the Golden Hotel, chatting and playing with O-Tama.

On the golden balcony, Nami’s voice was suddenly heard.

Nami’s figure flew in from the outside. She handed a roll of newspaper to Carina, and then took out a wanted poster from her increasingly large bosom and handed it to Karl, "Karl, congratulations. Your bounty has gone up again..."

"It went up again?!"

Carina raised her willow-like eyebrows and said, "The reason it went up by five hundred million last year was because Karl had killed a Celestial Dragon for the second time."

"Logically speaking, with our threat level, Karl’s 2,511,000,000 Berries should have reached the end. It went up again?"

"It’s because of Karl’s last sentence before the live broadcast ended."

Nami flew to the side of the sofa, looked at Karl with admiration, and said, "A single sentence raised it by five hundred million Berries. Karl, you’re really something!"

Taking the wanted poster, which still had a lingering fragrance, Karl looked at the number [3,011,000,000 Berries] on it and said with a wry smile, "A single sentence raised it by five hundred million Berries. The Navy really doesn’t give the Celestial Dragons any face at all!"

"Hee hee... maybe they’re taking this opportunity to disgust the Celestial Dragons. After all, every time those pigs get into trouble, they have to clean up their mess."

Carina teased and agreed, while opening the newspaper in her hand.

Then, from the few newspapers, a few more wanted posters fell out.

"Hey?"

Looking at the wanted posters that had fallen on the ground, Carina was slightly stunned, "...My wanted poster?!"

That’s right. Apart from Karl, even the wanted posters of Carina and the other girls were in there, updated.

First, the photos on the wanted posters were no longer the naive ones from three years ago. They were new photos secretly taken by the spies lurking in the Golden City.

Secondly, the change in the bounty.

Apart from the special-status Shirahoshi and the previously wanted Yamato, as well as Nojiko, who was secretly controlling the Golden City, and the young O-Tama, Carina and the other girls were all wanted, or their bounties had soared.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, bounty: 1,500,000,000 Berries, dead or alive.]

[Cat Burglar Carina, bounty: 500,000,000 Berries, dead or alive.]

[Thief Cat Nami, bounty: 700,000,000 Berries, dead or alive.]

[Ghost Princess Perona, bounty: 500,000,000 Berries, dead or alive.]
