Chapter 81: The Bounty of the Red Count

Reading the newspaper is a really enjoyable thing.

It lets you learn about outside information and kill time at the same time, getting two things done at once.

When Paul opened the newspaper, two wanted posters fell out of it.

Everyone was used to newspapers often coming with wanted posters issued by the Navy.

Paul picked them up from the ground and took a look.

In an instant, his pupils dilated to the max.

The bounty amount on it left him completely stunned.

When the others gathered around to take a look, they were all stunned.

"Ones, tens, hundreds... One hundred million, ten! Ten! One billion!"

Paul stared at the numbers in shock and shouted in disbelief.

"One billion! Boss, your bounty has reached one billion!"

After seeing the numbers, Paul immediately ran to Charlotte and shouted.

"Huh? What's all the commotion about?"

Charlotte, who was lying on a deck chair with his eyes slightly closed, opened them and looked at Paul.

"Boss! Boss, look quickly! There's a wanted poster of you on it!"

Paul quickly handed the newspaper in his hand to Charlotte.

Charlotte took it and had a look. It was his wanted poster.

"Bah! It's only increased by fifty million. What's so surprising about that!"

Charlotte tossed the newspaper back to Paul and said indifferently.

His tone showed complete disdain for the bounty on it.

Paul quickly caught it.

"Boss, you don't know that once the bounty reaches one billion, you're a real big-time pirate. You'll be known to people all over the world!"

Paul said exaggeratedly, spreading his arms wide.

Charlotte just smiled after hearing this.

"Do you think your boss cares about such things?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow, tilted his head, and looked at Paul.

"Uh!"

After hearing this, Paul scratched his head.

In his impression, the boss wasn't interested in anything. He only cared about improving his strength. Oh, and beautiful women!

Thinking about the fact that there were nearly a whole ship full of beautiful women on their boss's ship, Paul was speechless.

On other pirates' ships, there were either cannons or all kinds of pirates.

But on their boss's ship, there were only beautiful women. There weren't even many cannons.

Unlike other pirates, who wished to fill every bit of space on the ship with a cannon.

Charlotte saw Paul looking at him with a speechless expression.

"I feel like you're thinking something bad?"

Charlotte looked at Paul and said.

After hearing this, Paul broke out in a cold sweat.

"How! How could that be? You're my most respected boss!"

Paul forced a smile and said respectfully.

Charlotte gave him a disdainful look and closed his eyes again.

After seeing Charlotte close his eyes, Paul knew that the boss was going to take a rest.

Just as he was about to leave, another wanted poster fell out of the newspaper in his hand.

Paul picked up the wanted poster on the ground curiously.

He saw there were two people on the wanted poster. Although one of them only had a back view, Paul instantly recognized that it was his boss.

Then who was the other person?

Paul carefully examined the person in the newspaper.

"The Red Count, Patrick Redfield!"

Paul softly read out the name of the man on the wanted poster.

But after he saw the bounty amount on it,

"Nine hundred million berries!"

Paul exclaimed in surprise again, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

Charlotte, who was originally lying on the lounge chair, sat up abruptly.

He snatched the newspaper from Paul's hand and looked at it.

After a long while,

"Hahaha! Hahahahahahaha!"

Charlotte let out a resounding laugh after seeing the wanted poster in the newspaper.

The loud laugh attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned their gazes to Charlotte.

It was the first time they had ever seen Charlotte laughing so happily.

What's going on?

Everyone looked at each other.

They had no idea what was going on.

But seeing Charlotte laugh so happily, it should not be a bad thing.

"Hahahahaha! Ryder, you're still no match for me after all, hahahahahaha!"

Charlotte said while holding the newspaper.

His voice reached the sky.

...

On a vast sea, a small boat was sailing on the boundless ocean.

A red - clad figure tightly grasped this newspaper.

The veins on his forehead and hands bulged.

"Damn Navy!"

This person was none other than The Red Count.

The Red Count was sitting alone on a specially - made boat, roaring as he looked at the newspaper in his hand.

The Conqueror's Haki surged wildly behind him.

It stirred up monstrous waves.

"Navy!"

The Red Count murmured, then looked ahead.

Although it was all sea, he knew that was the Sabaody Archipelago.

Along with Charlotte's wanted poster spreading across the Four Seas, the name of The Red Count also became well - known.

The name Patrick Redfield, The Red Count, was also targeted by all those who cared about maritime affairs.

Not for anything else, just for that nine - hundred - million - berry bounty.

This figure was enough to surprise everyone.

And then came the endless greed.

A completely unknown person was offered a bounty of nine hundred million berries. This was enough to excite all the bounty hunters in the world.

The Navy deliberately didn't provide any information about The Red Count in the newspaper, only briefly describing him as extremely evil.

This was enough to drive anyone crazy.

"Jiejiejie! The Red Count! I'll take your life!"

This voice rang out in countless taverns simultaneously.

As for Charlotte's bounty beside it, everyone chose to ignore it.

No one dared to cause trouble for Charlotte.

Of course, except for some over - confident people.

...

The issuance of these two wanted posters caused a great stir on the sea. Everyone was terrified of Charlotte's strength.

After killing more than a thousand people in Water 7 and still being able to escape safely, this was not something an ordinary person could do.

"Hahahahaha! Rayleigh! That cadre on the Rock Pirates' ship has done another big thing!"

Roger held up the newspaper in his hand and said.

Rayleigh ignored Roger's laughter.

"Roger, don't you think the strength of the Rock Pirates is too powerful?"

Rayleigh frowned and asked Roger.

Gulp!

After Roger took a sip of wine.

"Hahahahaha!

So what? I'm not afraid of them."

Roger said confidently, unconsciously exuding Haki from his body.

"Hahaha!"

Rayleigh shook his head. He just admired this about Roger.

"Don't you think the people under Rocks' rule are living a miserable life?"

Rayleigh looked at Roger seriously and spoke.

After hearing Rayleigh's words, Roger also put down the wine bottle in his hand.

Now they were in the second half of the New World.

You gotta admit they're really gutsy to sail right under Rocks' nose.

Roger thought of those people under Rocks' rule and fell silent.

Along the way, Roger had also seen many islands inhabited by people.

Only the islands under Rocks' control suffered.

The wanton killings and endless riots were all seen by Roger.
