Chapter 973 – These Are All Fake Wanted Posters!
In the first half of the Grand Line.
Several ships stopped in the sea. The flag of these ships was a skull with a hat and a slightly lowered head with crossed swords on both sides. In front of these ships, there was a dilapidated seabed that was almost going to sink.
On the pirate ship, William looked at a pirate who looked like a dead captain on the ground with deep suspicion in his eyes.
“It’s done, William.”
Montblanc walked over with a bloody iron glove and spat at the captain in disdain. “It’s just 80 million, how dare you be so arrogant.”
Eighty million?
‘You still dare?’
Arrogant?
William listened to these words in a daze and suddenly said, “Something is wrong, very wrong.”
“What’s wrong?” Elmira said. “What’s wrong, William.”
“No… I just feel that something is wrong. This man really has 80 million?”
William looked at Elmyra in confusion. “Is the wanted poster wrong?”
William had been on the Grand Line for some time. Ever since he met the 60 million pirate, he had encountered many pirates with high bounties.
There were 40 million, 60 million, 70 million, and now there was 80 million.
Each time, William fought with all his might, but after each battle, his confusion deepened.
Is there really such a high bounty?
Why is the fight not much different from those pirates in East Blue who are worth millions?
Why …
Grand Line pirates only increase their bounty and not their strength?
“I told you, William, you were too careful.”
Mont Blanc chuckled and said, “I came from the Grand Line. The pirates of the Grand Line are not as terrifying as you think. With your strength, a place like the Grand Line can’t stop you. We should go to the New World!”
He was almost fooled by William. He thought that he was so cautious in East Blue and thought that he was lucky and did not experience the true horror of the Grand Line.
But now it seemed that William was overthinking.
The Grand Line looked like this. It was a familiar appearance that had never changed.
“No, you’re wrong!”
William was suddenly shocked. “I thought of it. These people must have secretly falsified the bounty! Isn’t there a rumor on the sea that in order to increase their fame, those pirates falsified the bounty order, which makes people feel that it is very dangerous. At the same time, they recruit those who don’t understand the situation into their own pirate group!”
But William disdained to do such a thing.
A fake is a fake. Even if I can show off at that time, I will be exposed sooner or later.
It will be like this!
“I don’t believe he has 80 million. At this level, it’s not bad to have 15 million!” William said.
“No, he really has 80 million!” Montblanc pulled over a bounty order with the dead Captain’s face on it. “There are too few counterfeits on the bounty order. This is real, it’s from Newsbird.”
“No! It must be fake!”
William didn’t even look at the bounty notice and vowed, “Otherwise, even if I can escape from this 80 million, we will suffer heavy losses. But now we have won so quickly and there are no casualties. Things are suspicious! The previous people are the same. The bounty is obviously higher than mine, but why is it so weak! It’s all fake bounty notices!!”
“Is it possible that our bounty is low?” Mont Blanc asked with twitching eyes.
“Impossible!”
William said firmly, “If it were anyone else, I would have doubts, but my bounty was issued after Kim Jong-un met me. Before that, we did not show any flaws. In other words, this bounty was issued by Kuro after he learned about my situation. If the proposal he gave is still 30 million, it means that I am only worth 30 million!”
“Marine’s bounty can’t be wrong. Their bounty on a person needs to be evaluated. You see, in East Blue, more than 10 million people are not easy to deal with. The owner of Barati’s Restaurant that we know well, that ‘Red Foot’ Zhepp, is only 60 million! In comparison, the strength of these people is not worthy of their bounty!”
“There is no other possibility except for counterfeiting!!”
William said, “We can’t be affected. During this time, we are lucky to meet pirates who are wanted for counterfeiting, but there must be real ones. Yes… that must be it! Marine allows these counterfeited wanted posters to exist in order to attract pirates to fight each other. If this person’s bounty is high, then another person will be after him, so that pirates will not be so afraid of the high bounty. This way, when they meet real bounty criminals, they will also have such a mentality. When that time comes, they will be defeated.”
The more he spoke, the clearer his thoughts became.
The fresher William felt that this was right!
If they underestimate the enemy, they will think that the Grand Line is nothing much and they will be proud of it. And once they determine the fact of this wanted poster, they will find those pirates with a higher bounty. Whether those pirates are real or not, there will be casualties.
This is a plan to provoke them!
William can’t be fooled!
“We have to be serious. Since we can’t tell whether it’s real or fake, we should treat every one of them with a high bounty as a real bounty!”
William said, “Don’t let your guard down because of this. This is the sea and there are many dangers in the sea. Once there is an accident, the damage is irreparable! Do you understand?!”
“That makes sense…” Elmira agreed. “William, what you said makes sense.”
Swire nodded thoughtfully.
Mont Blanc stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment. He only felt that this bounty was so dazzling.
This guy really has 80 million yuan!
It’s just that you’re too strong. You’re strong, not weak!
But after what William said, he was not sure.
Could he be telling the truth?
These bounty notices are fake. If they are not fake, how can William only have 30 million?
It’s not like there aren’t people who have just debuted in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions. William is so strong, he has long been more than 30 million.
William smiled faintly and looked at the sea. “I have long seen through the schemes of the World Government and Marine. That kind of thing is useless to me. I have long seen through the illusion. I will not be careless. As long as I keep careful, I will become a real big pirate!”
Then… he would compete with that Kuro again!
He was still very weak and was no match for Kuro. He could destroy a pirate group at the age of two. If he didn’t see this when he was seven, he would probably still be playing pirates.
But now, the Game of Pirates is no longer something he can play. What he wants is the real life of a big pirate!
