Chapter 157
July 15, 1483 of the Haiyuan calendar.
This day is destined to be remembered by countless people, and it all started with a bounty order.
Bloody Hand Ares, bounty: 2.2 billion Baileys.
Became the second highest bounty pirate on the sea, and the highest bounty was the captain of the Rocks Pirates.
The World Government and the Navy did not give the reason for Ares' bounty. For the World Government, if a ship carrying "Sky Gold" was hijacked and a Celestial Dragon was killed, it would cause a serious blow to the World Government's reputation if it was reported.
Countless people are curious about the reason why Bloody Hand Ares' bounty is so high, and the whole sea is discussing it.
Somewhere in the New World.
On the deck.
"Newgate, why do you always stare in that direction every time you return after a mission?" A fierce pirate had a pile of golden treasures in front of him, and the golden light was dazzling.
A group of pirates surrounded the pile of gold, and some even held gold coins and let them fall from their hands.
The crisp sound of jingling was fascinating.
There was laughter all around, but only the white-bearded Newgate seemed out of tune with the other pirates.
Newgate, who supported his head with his hands, raised his mouth and said, "A place of concern."
A person looked at the sea quietly. Even though he had seen the scenery of the sea for many years, it was still not enough.
At this moment, the originally lively sound on the deck began to become smaller.
Newgate turned his head and saw a group of pirates gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.
The next second.
"Hey, Newgate!!! It's Ares!!!" A pirate raised his arm and raised the bounty order in his hand and shouted, looking extremely excited and excited.
"See? Ares' bounty has been raised!!"
"Oh my god, it's as high as... 2.2 billion Baileys, higher than your bounty!!"
Newgate's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the bounty order. The changing numbers let him know... Ares is really back! !
His eyes began to become a little moist.
He suddenly stood up from the deck, rushed to the pirate, excitedly grabbed the bounty, and laughed: "Kulala..."
"Good boy, he was offered a bounty of 2.2 billion, which is higher than my bounty. This kid must have done something big."
"I really want to know how he spent this year. I really want to see Ares soon..."
In his mind, he recalled the hardworking Ares, the persistent Ares, the fearless Ares, the Ares who enjoyed fighting...
This emotion intensified and surged into his heart crazily.
Newgate raised his lips, put the bounty into his arms, and shouted to the pirates on the deck: "Return to Beehive Island as quickly as possible, return one day earlier, and hold a banquet after returning to the island."
"Drink as much as you want, all you can drink!"
"There is no limit to the number of banquets!!!"
The heroic atmosphere immediately made the pirates on the deck cheer. After all, it was a rare thing for Newgate to invite guests to hold a banquet, and he was a very stingy guy.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and tacitly wanted to take this opportunity to kill Newgate.
The pirates on the deck were full of energy and controlled the ship to speed up!

Another place in the new world.
The golden lion Shiki stepped on the enemy's chest with a defiant foot, and the blood-stained long sword in his hand kept dripping blood.
The enemy begged for mercy frantically at the feet of the golden lion, with a terrified look on his face, because he saw the long sword in Shiki's hand falling.
Facing the moment of death.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, waiting for death and pain to come.
However, time passed by second by second.
He never felt the sharp blade piercing his body. He opened his eyes and saw the expression of Golden Lion with a cigar in his mouth... stunned.
For a cruel pirate like Golden Lion, it is almost impossible to be distracted in the battle.
Suddenly.
Golden Lion smiled strangely: "You should remember today, because today is your lucky day, I decided not to kill you."
He retracted his foot that was stepping on the enemy's chest and elegantly lifted the opponent's shirt with the tip of the sword.
It's not that Shiki fell in love with this man, nor is he a "gay", but a corner of a newspaper was revealed in the opponent's clothes.
And that corner is the head of Ares.
Golden Lion used his sword to pick up the newspaper, reached out to catch the newspaper, grinned and said: "Go away, I'm in a good mood today, let you go, butDon't fall into my hands again."
"Because you may not be so lucky next time."
The enemy didn't know why, stumbled, and fled in a hurry with his hands and feet. His brain was extremely messy. He didn't have time to think about why Shi Ji let him go. He just wanted to escape.
It often takes only one second from hell to heaven.
One second later.
Golden Lion Shi Ji's long sword may have pierced his chest!
Even when he was holding a long sword and fighting against the white beard Cong Yunqie, his hand holding the sword would not shake.
At this moment.
Golden Lion's hand holding the sword for more than ten years could not stop shaking. He took a deep breath of the cigar in his mouth. Under the stimulation of nicotine, he still couldn't calm down the surging emotions in his heart.
"Ares..." His voice was a little hoarse, but his face was full of a bright smile: "It's been a year, and I finally got news from you."
"And... You gave me such a big surprise as soon as you appeared, a bounty of 2.2 billion, I really don't know what earth-shattering things you did. ”
“Your bounty has increased so much, it seems that you must have become much stronger. I wonder how your swordsmanship is going.”
“I wonder how well you have trained your body…”
He seemed to know all of this.
From his admiration for Ares when he first met him, to his shock at his persistence and abnormal training methods, to the scene of him being beaten for drinking, and becoming Ares’ master to teach him swordsmanship.
Choose the unique “no-sword style” to witness Ares’s many battles.
The scenes kept appearing in his mind like slides, making the golden lion smile particularly happily at this moment.
He raised his head proudly, like a mighty lion, looking towards the direction of Honeycomb Island, grinning: “Wait for me, Ares, I’ll be back soon. ”

Time has quietly come to the night.
New World, War Country.
This is a dim and damp room. Douglas Barrett sat on a wooden bed without a mattress, reaching out to touch the quilt. It was a quilt with lumps inside, heavy and cold like a brick.
The room was full of children who were only a few years old.
At this time.
Several children said, "Hey, did you listen to what the soldiers said today? I heard that there is another great pirate named Ares on the sea. Do you know how much his bounty is?"
"One hundred million Baileys?" A child answered tentatively.
The child who asked the question shook his head and motioned for others to guess.
Another child frowned and guessed, "An incredible pirate, then I guess 300 million Baileys."
300 million Baileys in this era is already a world-famous pirate. There are not many pirates with this bounty level.
"No, I guessed wrong. ”
The other children were a little dissatisfied now, "300 million bounty is not it, then how much bounty is it?"
The child who asked the question smiled pretentiously: "I don't think you can guess it, it's 2.2 billion Baileys."
As soon as this number came out, all the children present were shocked by it.
Douglas Barrett also looked at the child in disbelief, and doubts arose in his heart.
The other children also expressed their disbelief.
"Believe it or not, I heard those soldiers say this myself, it is absolutely impossible to be false. If one day we can be free, then we can go to the sea to see if it is true."
Douglas Barrett silently lifted the cold quilt and lay on the bed, thinking to himself: "When I am free, I must go to the sea to see how powerful those pirates with such a high bounty are. ”
