Bounty Doubled

'These Celestial Dragons never talk about good deeds, but they're quick to bring up these messes!'

Sengoku thought irritably.

But regardless of his thoughts, Sengoku had to answer the call!

"Hello, this is Sengoku!" After taking a deep breath, Sengoku picked up the phone.

"Sengoku, what's going on in Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Why did Charlos return and tell us that the Marines handled the situation poorly?" The stern voice of the Five Elders came through.

"After dispatching Admiral Kizaru for support, we encountered some unforeseen circumstances!" Sengoku scratched his head and explained.

"What circumstances?"

"Why couldn't Kizaru handle a few mere pirates?" The Five Elders questioned again.

"Because after Kizaru made his move, he encountered Silvers Rayleigh, the former first mate of Gol D. Roger, as well as Marco and Pryce from the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Moreover, the Warlord Kuma used his abilities to send the culprits flying, and now they're nowhere to be found!" Sengoku detailed the report.

"Silvers Rayleigh, huh?" The Five Elders murmured in a low voice.

"I didn't expect that guy to still be alive, lurking in Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Since you know he's there, why haven't you sent troops to capture him?" The Five Elders retorted.

"We've been busy preparing for the public execution of Fire Fist Ace recently, so we haven't had the time!"

"And you should know Silvers Rayleigh strength—it's not something a few soldiers can handle!" Sengoku replied honestly.

"Didn't you just mention that Marco and Pryce from the Whitebeard Pirates also appeared?" At that moment, another one of the Five Elders suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, after their appearance, they also hindered Kizaru from completing his mission to some extent!"

"According to Kizaru report, Pryce even attempted to kill Saint Charlos!" Sengoku said, narrowing his eyes.

"Pryce?"

"Are you sure it's the same Pryce, the scientist from the Whitebeard Pirates who invented the Senzu Beans and Teleportation Talismans?" The Five Elders still found it hard to believe.

After all, in their eyes, Pryce was just a scientist, much like Vegapunk.

He couldn't be completely powerless, but he certainly shouldn't be on par with Kizaru in terms of combat ability!

"Yes, and according to Kizaru himself, if he didn't go all out, it would be difficult to subdue Pryce. In fact, even if he did go all out, he might not be able to subdue Pryce!" Sengoku also expressed some surprise.

After all, for Kizaru to say such a thing, Pryce strength must be formidable!

"It seems we've underestimated this scientist!" Although the Five Elders were also shocked, their tone remained calm.

"Let's leave Silvers Rayleigh alone for now. As long as he doesn't come out looking for trouble, let him roam for a while!"

"These annoying relics from the old era!" The Five Elders said on the other end of the line.

Sengoku rolled his eyes in silence, thinking, as if you guys aren't relics from the old era yourselves!

"As for the Warlord Kuma, since Vegapunk has already modified him for a while, let's proceed with a full transformation this time!"

"Let's turn him into our human weapon!"

"That traitor doesn't need a brain or the ability to think anymore!"

"Let's turn him into a complete robot!" The Five Elders spoke calmly, but their words were utterly ruthless.

Sengoku also nodded with a furrowed brow. After all, this was simply the consequence of Tyrant Kuma's own actions!

After listening to the Five Elders, Sengoku reported the details of Pryce battle to them.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

"A mere scientist actually awakened it!"

"And he can control it freely, using it with such flexibility!" This time, the Five Elders couldn't suppress the shock in their voices, speaking in disbelief.

"When you publicly execute Fire Fist Ace, it will inevitably lead to a war with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Given Pryce strength, he might very well intervene!"

"Spread the word: no one is to kill Pryce!" The Five Elders spoke seriously.

Hearing this, Sengoku was momentarily stunned.

It seemed the Five Elders still wanted to recruit Pryce!

However, Sengoku was also quite curious about Pryce, who kept surprising everyone, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

"By the way, to put some pressure on Pryce, let's update his bounty!"

"Set it at 2 billion berries!" The Five Elders thought for a moment before deciding.

After all, if they tried to recruit him without any leverage, it wouldn't go well.

With a higher bounty, it would be easier to negotiate if they ever captured Pryce.

"Alright, focus on preparing for the public execution of Fire Fist Ace!"

"We'll handle the World Nobles ourselves this time!"

"But if something like this happens again, don't blame us for being harsh!" The Five Elders snorted coldly before hanging up the phone.

"Don't blame us for being harsh!" Garp mimicked the Five Elders' tone, speaking sarcastically.

Sengoku glared at Garp fiercely.

"Keep your mouth shut! Because of your relationship with Ace, the World Government and the Five Elders are investigating you right now!" Sengoku said helplessly.

After all, strictly speaking, Ace was raised by Garp! And this time, it was Garp grandson, the pirate Monkey D. Luffy, who attacked the Celestial Dragons!

Not to mention Garp son, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, who is the most wanted man in the world and a constant headache for the World Government!

Now, many in the World Government have complaints about Garp! Some have even formed an investigation team to impeach Garp!

If it weren't for Sengoku constantly covering for him, and the countless military achievements Garp has made over the decades, an ordinary person would have been fired or even thrown in prison by now!

"Tch, a bunch of useless talkers!"

"If they're unhappy with me, just kick me out!"

"They want to use my strength but also suppress me!" Garp picked up his tea and spoke disdainfully.

Hearing this, Sengoku didn't know what to say, because the truth was exactly as Garp had put it.

If it weren't for Garp formidable strength and the urgent need for capable personnel, anyone else would have already been court-martialed!

"Enough, let's not say any more!" Sengoku sighed and said.

At this moment, he couldn't let his old friend be caught in a compromising situation, so he had no choice but to remind him with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing Sengoku serious expression, Garp also fell silent.
