Chapter 199: The Battle of Punk Hazard
On the Red Hair Pirates' Redfors.

Beckman smiled, took the wine on the table and took a sip.

As the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Beckman, who is a smart man himself, certainly knows that the title of the Four Emperors is a bait, and the first issue of the New Era Newspaper also made it clear.

It was also in the second issue of the New Era newspaper that the story of the cloaked man killing six Celestial Dragons was revealed, and photos were also provided.

The contents of the two issues of the New Era Newspaper are connected. Although the second issue does not mention any statement of killing the Celestial Dragons to enhance one's fame, it is obvious that the newcomers who do not know the immensity of the world can fill in the blanks on their own.

Beckman also looked towards the sea level: "Our power is not enough to change anything. And the New Era Newspaper is most likely something created by the Revolutionary Army. That gentleman... is really bold."

Shanks stopped smiling and looked towards the sea like Beckman, except that he was looking in the direction of Mary Joa.

"Before this, no one dared to attack them, because even pirates would not be stupid enough to do something that would not benefit them. But now that the World Government has thrown out the Four Emperors as bait, there will naturally be benefits."

"Also, that gentleman has killed six people, the earliest of whom can be traced back to several years ago, but he is still safe and sound."

At this point, Shanks looked at Beckman and said, "Do you think those newcomers have self-awareness? No, they just think that if that gentleman can do it, they can do it too."

Beckman frowned and said, "We are different from these idiots. So it is up to you, Captain, to decide what we should do next."

A gust of sea breeze blew, and Shanks pressed down the straw hat on his head, his thoughts recalling the conversation with Captain Roger many years ago.

"How's the investigation going on?"

Beckman replied: "It's something that only the two of us know, and what we know so far is only what we have said."

Shanks smiled and said, "When the New Era newspaper directed the pirates' spearhead towards themselves, our original plan would no longer count. This is a different time. At that time, for the sake of peace in the sea, we need to determine the so-called Four Emperors as soon as possible."

"That's not necessary now."

Beckman also smiled.

Those new pirates who were like locusts, because of the title of Pirate Emperor, slaughtered towns in an attempt to increase their bounties.

Later, because of the report in the first issue of the New Era newspaper, these garbage people finally quieted down.

In the Great Pirate Age, the balance and stability of the ocean requires reducing the number of pirates.

"Let's go to the East China Sea!"

Shanks' voice sounded: "We will avoid this chaos and wait until the number of pirates begins to stabilize. Then we will come back and put an end to this fight for the position of Pirate Emperor."

Beckman smiled, turned around and waved to Jesus Bu on the other side: "The captain said we are going to the East China Sea, Jesus Bu!"

Jesus, who was boasting, was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly found that the wine in his hand didn't smell good anymore.

What should I do? Should I go back to see my son?

Usopp hasn't forgotten about me, has he?
"Hahaha! What happened to Jesus?"

"Could it be that there is some terrifying enemy over in the East China Sea? How could it make our sniper rifles behave like this? Hahaha!"

There was laughter all around for a moment.

Shanks, on the other hand, leaned against the fence and looked at his companions with a smile on his face, but what he was thinking about was the East Sea Plan.

The inheritance of this world's will will never be cut off. It has been several years since the captain surrendered himself. Is this Mr. Cap's hometown?

I really want to see that boy...

……

At the same time, what was reported in the second issue of the New Era Newspaper began to ferment throughout the ocean, and the pirates' reactions were just as those smart people had expected, and they became interested in the Celestial Dragons.

"Boss, the world's nobles! The cloaked man actually killed six celestial dragons, and the world government can't do anything about him!"

"So what does this have to do with me? Hurry up and see if there are any guys you can deal with. Only by making a name for yourself can you get the title of the Four Emperors, you bastard!"

"Boss!"

"The bounty on the Cloaked Man has reached 4.8 billion Baileys!"

“This faceless guy has grown in value again?”

"Boss, you don't know that although the Celestial Dragons are noble, they are all low-energy and mentally retarded idiots. No one has touched them because killing them would attract the admirals of the navy."

"Admiral? We are pirates. Even if we don't deal with those Celestial Dragons, will the Admiral let us go?"

This rookie captain, who had just traveled from Fishman Island to the New World, was full of confidence at the moment: "The bounty for six Celestial Dragons has risen to 4.8 billion berries. If we can reach this level, wouldn't the title of Emperor be secure?"

The younger brother at the side immediately replied: "Boss, you are wise, that's what I wanted to say. In the past, those fools were afraid of the generals, but now it seems that the so-called generals are nothing more than that. The cloaked man killed six people in a row without any problem, boss, you are not weaker than him!"

"Hahaha……"

Amidst the laughter, the rookie pirate waved his hand and said, "We need information about the Celestial Dragons now. Let's begin the Dragon Hunt!"

There are countless conversations like this on the sea.

Among the guys who become pirates, nearly 60 to 70 percent are uneducated and have a terrible intelligence situation. They don't even know whether there is a current admiral in the Marine Headquarters.

But also because of this, in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, they only met one or two officers from the Navy branch at most, and at this time they felt that perhaps the sea is just like this.

For a time, most of the new pirates who had originally targeted the three Four Emperors turned their attention to the so-called Celestial Dragons.

In the underground world, the intelligence about the Celestial Dragons was sold at a terrifyingly high price.

Faced with this price, countless pirates committed murder and robbery, but in the end they found out that the information was all false.

……

At the World Economic News Agency, Morgans angrily tore the newspaper in his hand into pieces.

New Era?
The emergence of this newspaper has seriously affected the sales of his own newspaper.

In order to increase sales, he had no choice but to keep paying large sums of money so that the hard-working reporters could get bigger news.

"Bulu Bulu..."

The Den Den Mushi rang, and a voice appeared after the call was connected.

"Hello, Morgans."

Morgans was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at the door behind him.

Soon, five men in suits appeared at the door.

"Click."

After the Den Den Mushi hung up, Morgans looked at the five guys in front of him. At the same time, his busy subordinates stopped working and looked over.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and layout it!"

The boss spoke and everyone sat back down.

Morgans then said, "People from the World Government? What's wrong with you?"

A woman stepped forward and handed over a document: "Tomorrow's newspaper, the World Government would like to put this in."

Morgans frowned upon hearing this.

He really loves news, but some of the scraps of news before this are not worth him turning against the World Government.

It is precisely because of this that the cooperation with the World Government has been good.

Morgans in his albatross form took the document, opened it, took a look, and sneered, "Do you think this response will be useful?"

The leading CP replied: "You don't need to worry about whether it is useful or not. We will not reduce your typesetting fee. At the same time, this is also an order from the top."

After receiving Morgans' reply, the five people turned and left after leaving a black box.

Tossing the box aside, Morgans frowned and handed the documents to his subordinates.

Are all the people in the world government idiots?
Using the New Era Newspaper's first issue's analysis of the Four Emperors as an example and hoping to achieve the same effect?
Although the New Era Newspaper analyzed the pirates in detail, it at least analyzed the pirates as human beings. But this document simply treats the pirates as pigs.

You said the bounty won't increase? Won't the reputation increase?

Massacring towns and killing unarmed civilians cannot demonstrate military strength, but the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, these slugs who have always been high and mighty, have the admirals of the navy and the world government standing behind them.

Killing these guys, from another perspective, means that they are not afraid of the navy and dare to confront the World Government.

But what does this have to do with me?

Morgans scratched the feathers on his head angrily.

The most important thing now is to increase the sales of the World Economic News! After that bastard newspaper appeared, if it weren't for the bounty order, the sales of the World Economic News would be terrible.

Gotta think of a way!
……

At the same time, Kevin from the G5 branch created a shadow clone, and his real body disappeared.

The shadow clone called Tina and asked her to prepare the warship and return to the headquarters.

As for the real body, it appeared in the dense jungle of Punk Hazard.

In my memory, after this island suffered destruction from Sakaski and Kuzan in the future, it became an island of ice and fire with half of it volcanically erupting and the other half in a state of permafrost.

Although Kuzan lost in the end and had his leg broken by Sakaski, the gap between the two should not be too big in the future, after all, they fought for a week.

After changing his appearance, Kevin took out an anti-tapping Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.

At present, Vegapunk's instant messaging device cannot cover the entire world, especially in the New World, where the magnetic field chaos is outrageous.

Things like radios also need to be developed after the mother fire is developed. Once the energy problem is solved, most of the problems will be solved as well.

"Click."

"coming?"

"Ah."

"Note the location."

After a brief conversation, an approximate coordinate was reported.

The Den Den Mushi hung up. Kevin did not ask about the island's surveillance equipment, and Borsalino did not say anything either.

Today, Sengoku from the Navy Headquarters not only informed Kevin, but also Borsalino and Kuzan.

The positions of the three admirals of the navy have been basically determined, and the importance of Borsalino's identity in the navy is self-evident.

As such, this action against Punk Hazard's former giant mechanical soldiers naturally would not leave him any chance of being suspected.

Even a serious fight is fine, as long as no lives are lost, it won't be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Kevin took a moment to determine the direction, and then headed straight for the coordinates given by Borsalino.

Half an hour later...

In the jungle, a laser suddenly shot towards Kevin.

The timing was very clever, as Kevin's attention was drawn to movement in another direction.

"boom!"

The laser pierced the ground, and Kevin appeared behind a big man in the jungle.

Draw the knife.

"Qiang."

A cold light flashed past, but the opponent did not dodge or evade, and there was no panic in his eyes. He raised his hand and wanted to grasp the blade with both hands.

However, he had obviously overestimated his own strength, and the knife cut off his fingers and beheaded him at the same time.

There was a sound of electricity, and a sharp spear stabbed out from behind and hit Kevin directly in the abdomen.

"boom."

A crisp sound was heard, but the spear could not move forward an inch.

"Vinsmoke Judge's cyborg?"

Kevin looked at the burly man in front of him and swung his hand to split the spear in two.

The other party was just like the guy who fired the laser just now. There was no other emotion in his eyes except determination.

As the spear was cut off, he threw it away, swaying his whole body and rushing in, with open arms trying to lock Kevin tightly.

"Snapped."

He pressed his forehead with one hand and smashed it down.

"boom!"

A hole appeared on the ground, and blood was flowing from the cracked head.

Letting go, Kevin continued to move towards his goal.

Along the way, the flashing lasers almost never stopped, and the suicidal lightning spears almost never stopped.

It wasn't until the pink mist filled the air and all the trees and plants withered and rotted wherever it passed that Kevin started to take it seriously.

Asado swung out a slash, and surging red thunder rushed in all directions, and the three big men in pink clothes in the sight were cut in half with one blow.

It was also at this time that the air began to flow.

"boom."

"puff!"

Swing the sword to block and slash horizontally.

Blood splattered and an invisible figure was exposed.

Immediately afterwards, the sense of attack appeared all around under the observation Haki.

Stealth Black, Poison Pink, and laser and electric weapons.

It seems that Vinsmoke Judge brought all the technology from the Germa period here, and the laser should be an ability he obtained from Borsalino based on the bloodline factor from the MADS period.

The Sparkle-Spark Fruit is indeed very fragrant. Not only Vegapunk is thinking about it, but even Punk Hazard has thought of the same thing.

Kevin did not stop at all while thinking. In just ten seconds, all the invisible blacks were on the ground.

After thinking for a while, Kevin took off a piece of clothing and wrapped up the equipment of the cyborgs on the corpse. After thinking for a moment, he threw it into a corner.

I continued to move towards the goal, and the shallow strike in my hand basically never stopped.

It wasn't until half an hour later that a burly man came out holding a Den Den Mushi, another cyborg.

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is? How dare you trespass?"

The voice in the Den Den Mushi was obviously Vinsmoke. Kevin only realized at this moment that because of the transformation technique, the other party did not know his identity.

But that doesn't matter.

Kevin ignored the Den Den Mushi. After his figure passed by, the Den Den Mushi and the cyborg split into two at the same time.

Holding the knife in one hand, Kevin moved forward again.

After Den Den Mushi died, Vinsmoke Judge's face looked extremely ugly, and he glanced at Borsalino who was eating soba beside him.

"Shouldn't it be your turn to take action at this time?"

Borsalino finished his noodle soup, exhaled, and replied, "This level of Conqueror's Haki, and the Observation Haki that detected all the invisible soldiers just now. If it's so strong, but there's no record in the database, then it can only be one guy."

Vinsmoke Judge was stunned: "Fight... the cloaked man?"

Borsalino stood up and said, "What a terrifying fighting force... If you don't want Punk Hazard to be burned down, you should ask for help from the Navy Headquarters and the World Government."

Vinsmoke reacted to the pertinent words and quickly searched for his Den Den Mushi.

Borsalino left here and walked out of the institute.

In the corridor, Zhan Taomaru and the navy of the Science Defense Force gathered, but each of them was still holding a flintlock rifle in their hands.

"call……"

Borsalino sighed.

Compared to the Revolutionary Army, the World Government seems to have no plans to upgrade the weapons and equipment of the naval soldiers.

The only ones with more powerful weapons than this group of navy are cyborgs and mechanical devices, and they themselves always have the highest authority within them.

Throughout Punk Hazard, there are surveillance devices of the World Government in many key locations, and their purpose is also to guard against Vinsmoke Judge.

He himself and the scientific defense forces including Zhan Taomaru were stationed again for the same reason.

However, following the notice of the appointment of the admiral of the headquarters, he might be away for a while for the safety of the Celestial Dragons, so this action at home took place.

"Master, the institute is being invaded."

Zhan Taomaru was ready to use the axe in his hand, but Borsalino's eyes twitched.

This kid... I guess the gentleman would swing his sword at him, but for Vegapunk's sake he would have to save him and not let him die too quickly.

Waving his hand, Borsalino said, "Everyone, stay where you are. Don't go out. Going out will only mean you will die in vain."

Zhan Taowan frowned: "Is the opponent very powerful? As the man with the strongest defense on the sea, I am also very powerful!"

The strongest defense...

Sighing, Borsalino looked at the navy in front of him and said, "You can't pose any threat to a strong enemy. You must have felt palpitations just now, right? If you faced that person directly with that level of Conqueror's Haki, you might have fainted by now."

Having said that, Borsalino ignored Zhan Taomaru and went straight in Kevin's direction.

These words made the sailors look at each other in bewilderment.

When did this ambiguously righteous vice admiral begin to consider these ordinary sailors?
You should know that not long ago, all of Vice Admiral Sakaski’s colleagues on the ship died in the waters of the World.

So everyone's eyes turned to Zhan Taowan, which made the fat guy very unhappy.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't cut into the battle for now, but waiting like this is not the style of my Strongest Defense Man. Go!"

……

Inside the research institute, a large number of biochemical humans were dispatched in teams, and they fearlessly charged towards Kevin.

However, with just the power of domineering, the role of these cyborgs is just to delay Kevin's steps.

Soon, Kevin saw a huge mechanical soldier lying in a huge dome.

"Zizi..."

The sound of electric current and laser mixed together, and bright lights exploded at the same time.

"Boom boom..."

There was no figure in the huge pit. One by one, the cyborgs were killed by the cold light of the blade. Kevin jumped up and looked at the protective shield in front of him.

"Shh!"

The slash fell, and the protective shield exploded.

"boom!!"

The dust settled after the roar, but the defensive force created by Vinsmoke Judge was not broken.

But as Vegapunk said, the defensive power of the shield depends on the energy problem, and this thing doesn't seem to be that strong.

The next moment, Kevin, who hadn't even landed yet, sheathed his knife.

In an instant, the domineering aura was absorbed, the blade became invisible, and the protective shield was shattered by a slash from top to bottom.

"boom."

Shattered like glass, Kevin landed directly on the huge mechanical soldier.

Reach out your hand and touch it.

"Buzz..."

Amid the buzzing sound, Borsalino and Kevin looked at each other and said, "I advise you to take it back, otherwise it will hurt."

Kevin replied: "You were there in Baldigo before, right? It seems that even after seeing my power, you still haven't remembered the embarrassment of the Sabaody Archipelago."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed it without any hesitation.

"Shh!"

The laser was blocked by the blade, and Kevin's arm muscles bulged.

"This time I really met a scary guy!"

After sighing, Borsalino jumped up and shot at Kevin with endless lasers.

"Boom boom boom..."

The ground where the giant mechanical soldier was placed was pierced with countless holes by lasers, but Kevin disappeared directly.

At this moment, the floating power of the chicken talisman began to be applied, and the mechanical soldiers like mountains slowly rose into the air.

"boom!"

Borsalino stepped down, and the mechanical soldier paused, but still floated up according to the power of the rules.

The next moment, golden flashes spread out, and a long sword swept past, striking into the air through the gap between the light spots.

Not far away, Borsalino regrouped and spoke, "Your target is this thing? This is the property of the World Government, and I will not let you take it away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light flashed again, but the target was not Kevin, but a mechanical soldier that slowly floated into the air.

"Wait a moment, Borsalino."

At this time, the voice of Saint Satan came from the monitoring point that Borsalino reminded when they just looked at each other.

Borsalino also stopped photochemical.

"Your laser should not be able to destroy it yet. Your goal now is to prevent it from taking off and wait for support."

At this time, Kevin also looked at the monitoring Den Den Mushi: "So you five are coming together this time? Last time, Baldigo sank into the sea, so it's not bad to let Punk Hazard sink this time."

In the Den Den Mushi, Satan Saint asked: "Why do the Revolutionary Army want this thing?"

"Shh."

Kevin swung his sword and tried to destroy the monitoring Den Den Mushi, but was blocked by a huge lightsaber.
