Chapter 12 Litan Island

Marshal's Office!

Marshal Hill, General Wen Hu, and General Snow Lion stood in the spacious command room, filled with smoke, and everyone frowned.

The atmosphere in the command room was oppressive and tense, as if hinting at an imminent huge crisis.

Hill took a deep breath and looked at the map in front of him firmly. Now only the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line are under their control. As for the second half of the Grand Line, it has completely become a paradise for pirates, with only sporadic fragments. Several naval branches are barely holding on.

He knew that the strength of the Rocks Pirates had reached a critical point. Their strength was getting stronger and stronger, causing huge headaches for the entire navy and the world government.

General Wenhu frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart.

If left unchecked, the Rocks Pirates' power will continue to expand, posing a great threat to the entire world and being very detrimental to their navy's execution of justice.

The snow lion stood quietly aside, his eyes deep and cold.

He understood that at this moment, they must take decisive action.

Edward Newgate, captain of the second division of the Rock Pirates, is a strong man in his own right.

And if the young man in front of him can be personally greeted by Newgate, then the possibility of him joining the Rocks Pirates is also extremely high.

"I need to know all the information about this young man and immediately arrange intelligence personnel to investigate."

Hill's voice was calm and firm. He knew that there was no time to waste now.

Wen Hu nodded, his heart also full of doubts, although he didn't know why this young man joined the Rocks Pirates.

But he understood that if the Rocks Pirates continued to grow unscrupulously, it would bring immeasurable disaster to the entire world.

"We can no longer allow the strength of the Rocks Pirates to grow unscrupulously like this."

Hill's voice was filled with anger and determination. It was their navy's negligence that justice could not reach the second half of the Grand Line.

Wenhu and Snow Lion exchanged a look, and they both understood that this was a critical moment. As the Rocks Pirates grew stronger, there would definitely be a life-or-death battle between them and the Rocks Pirates.

They must take action to stop the spread of the Rocks Pirates on the one hand, and to weaken the power of the Rocks Pirates on the other.

Admiral Hill, Admiral Wenhu, and Admiral Snow Lion will lead the entire navy in a thrilling battle with the Rocks Pirates.

......

Beehive Island!

During this period, Morgans had not yet established a news agency, and bounty orders were printed and issued by the navy, and then sent to various naval branches through fax printers.

"Where did Newgate find such great new people?"

Golden Lion saw the reward notice immediately on Beehive Island. He was a little jealous and thought that if he could find someone who could fight like Karl, it would be a huge fortune.

So, Golden Lion immediately summoned his team members and decided to go to sea to find more powerful members.

Kuro Island, the Giant Pirates!

"Rocks' strength has increased again."

"Where should we go if this continues?"

Fred, the deputy leader of the Giant Soldier Pirates, said worriedly.

After all, he is the strategist of the Giant Pirates, but he also knows that the captain will not listen. The current captain looks very arrogant because of his alliance with the X Pirates.

He could only send his own people to investigate all information about Karl.

......

"Litan Island has arrived."

Karl had just sobered up when he heard the shouts from the pirates outside.

So he quickly got out of bed.

"Karl, you're awake."

As soon as Karl walked out of the room, he saw Whitebeard walking towards him.

"This island is the only way to Beehive Island. I just came here to take a rest. The drinks and food are almost gone."

"Gu la la la la!"

Newgate laughed boldly.

Because the banquet held yesterday resulted in insufficient food and drink stocks, we had to stop by this island.

"How about Carl? Come down and take a walk."

Newgate invited him to say that Newgate wanted to show him the prosperity of the pirate world.

"Let's go down and have a look." He also said with some expectation.

It just so happened that he hadn't seen a market in so many years, and he also wanted to take a look in the pirate city. Would there be anything interesting happening?

"Haha, let's go. I heard there is an auction today. It's good for us to attend it."

Newgate's big hand patted his shoulder and then led the way.

"The auction is just in time. Let's go. I'll go take a look too. I haven't been to an auction yet."

Carl was curious. He imagined the bustling scene of the auction and wanted to know what rare treasures would be auctioned.

He followed Newgate to the center of the city, which was already a bustling scene. Both sides of the street were filled with a dazzling array of goods, and different types of pirates and merchants were trading and bargaining. Even on the street, Karl discovered that many people were selling slaves.

Karl couldn't help but be attracted by this lively scene. Everything in front of him was something he had never seen before on Blue Star.

They passed through the crowd and arrived at a huge auction house, which was already overcrowded. There was an eye-catching sign hanging at the door of the auction house that read "Auction starts today."

Karl walked into the auction house with some excitement. He had never participated in an auction before. When he entered the scene, there was a lot of noise in the venue. The auctioneer's voice was high-pitched and passionate. Each precious item was held high in the hands of the auctioneer. , causing bursts of noise and bidding.

He carefully observed the various rare treasures in the auction house, including shining gems, gorgeous noble clothes, legendary ancient weapons and rare animals. Karl couldn't help but sigh, now he is in this world full of treasures. Seduction and mysterious auction.

"Lord Newgate, please!"

Newgate was quite famous in the second half of the New World. After all, he was the captain of the second division of the Rocks Pirates. When the people at the auction house saw him coming, they immediately welcomed him in.

When I entered the auction house, I suddenly noticed an eye-catching poster. The person on the poster is none other than himself, and it says: "Carl, bounty of 500,000,000 Baileys!"

He looked at his reward order in surprise.

I never thought that one day I would be offered a reward.

"Karl, did you know? You have become a wanted pirate, with a bounty of up to 500,000,000 Baileys!"

Newgate was happy for Karl. After all, the size of the bounty also represented a person's strength.

"Newgate, I see it!"

Karl said excitedly.

He knew that he would be rewarded, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Unexpectedly, the reward for the first time was 5 million beli, which was much higher than the 3000 million beli that Luffy went to sea for.

You know, this is not what Luffy was like at that time.

The 5 million Baileys at this time is far more powerful than the 5 million Baileys at the beginning of the plot.

"Mr. Newgate, this way, this is a private room. If you have any needs, you can press this button."

The person who led the way quickly introduced the two of them into a private room, briefly explained the facilities in the private room, and left with a maid behind.

"The field of view is quite broad!"

Karl stood in front of the window and looked at the people in the hall.

Newgate sat directly on the sofa, picked up a bottle of foreign wine, opened it and drank.

"Look what you like, your eldest brother is rich."

Newgate was indifferent. Because the wealth he has amassed in the Rocks Pirates over the years is worth billions of Baileys.

If he was just buying some things, there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, he had not returned the money he had robbed to his hometown.

After he left the Crocus Pirates, he returned to his hometown once and saw the poverty in his hometown, so he invested most of the money he robbed in his hometown.

But what he didn't know was that this would make people in his hometown reluctant to work.

After all, people in his hometown would become more and more lazy when they knew that someone was giving them money and they didn't need to work. This situation did not change until he died. Those people even complained about why he didn't give money to his hometown. .
