Chapter 922: How should we divide such an expensive head?
One day later, the tranquility of the Torrant Sea was completely broken by a cannon shot.
The forces of 'King of Beasts' Kaido and 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin began to take action. From time to time, they sent several waves of soldiers to approach Cake Island, firing cannons near the coast to test the power of the warships, and mixed in threats, and their intention to attack was obvious.
Realizing that the war was about to break out, ordinary people on the island felt their scalps tingling, their faces turned pale, they were terrified, their hands and feet were shaking, and they were covered in cold sweats, for fear that they would be accidentally affected by the battle and become an unknown corpse.
However, just as everyone was watching, something strange happened!
An eye suddenly appeared on the plain blue sky and white clouds!
That eye was huge and extremely strange, with a scarlet "X" in the middle of the pupil. Under that sharp gaze, the pirates felt as if they were stripped naked, being seen clearly by that eye, with no secrets left, and they suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
"Hey... look! What is that??!"
"It's frightening just looking at it..."
“What a monster!!”
"This eye should be used to observe the battlefield, right? It's a very strategic ability!"
Near the sea, the pirates stared blankly, looking up at the scarlet eyes in the sky, and couldn't help but tremble.
On Cake Island, Irene sat on the throne in the castle.
"Do these people think that they can beat me after a week of preparation and bringing in helpers?"
As she spoke, her regal demeanor as a queen and her domineering eyes that looked down upon the world made all the magicians in the room stare at her sideways, sigh in admiration.
In the center of the room, there is a sand table, which is projected by the "Eye of Exploration". The model of the entire Cake Island and the surrounding sea areas, the sea, the land, and the ships are all clearly visible. Of course, the specific number of people is not very accurate, but it is enough for the magicians to understand the changes in the battle situation from the most intuitive perspective.
It is worth mentioning that according to what Irene saw after using the "Eye of Investigation", other forces around are also ready to make a move.
The naval forces led by Akainu did not completely withdraw from the Torrant Sea, but left behind a part of the elites, who were waiting in hidden corners, intending to reap the benefits.
Kira knew that people like the Revolutionary Army, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, the News Agency, the CP Organization, the Don Quixote Family, shipping companies, slave traders, the Golden Emperor , and the big guys from the underworld would definitely be mixed in, either watching the show or secretly planning major operations. In any case, they would definitely not be idle at that time.
"I don't doubt your strength, but that's a fleet with more than 20,000 people! And they are all subordinates of the 'Four Emperors', the elite among the elites. You only have a few dozen people, right?"
Robin had just eaten the pie that Kira had painted for her, and she was reluctant to spit it out so quickly, so when she saw everyone looking careless and underestimating the enemy, she couldn't help but speak out a reminder.
Obviously, she didn't know the true strength of the wizards.
" After all, trash is just trash. With this guy here, we are not afraid of 2 million, let alone 20,000!"
Kira patted Neinhart's shoulder, smoothed his bangs, and tidied his flashy clothes, acting like a company general manager caring for a new employee.
Neinhart was flattered, but he couldn't help but straighten his back: "Hahaha...Kira-san, that's too much praise! The average level of those pirates is almost catching up with the magic soldiers of the Albares Empire. Two million people are still a bit much for me, 200,000 is about right."
This sounded like a self-deprecating remark, but everyone could hear the full pride in it , but they did not refute it.
200,000 people?! Is this true?!
A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Robin's forehead. He didn't know whether the man in front of him was talking in his sleep or was really strong beyond belief. After hesitating for a while, he said, "The Four Emperors of the New World are the strongest pirate force on the sea. Whether it's their overall strength or their individual strength, they are not comparable to those pirates in Paradise."
As she spoke, she took out a newspaper that Morgans had published a few days ago, pointed at the content on it and said to everyone: "From the content of the newspaper, in addition to the two 'Four Emperors', their senior cadres 'Four Generals' and 'Three Disasters' have also been dispatched. These people are all big pirates with bounties close to or even exceeding 1 billion berries. They are not small fry!"
"One billion Baileys?!" ×N
When the wizards heard the bounty amount announced by Robin, they were not surprised but delighted, and their eyes instantly sparkled with brilliance.
The wizards couldn't help swallowing their saliva, looking at Robin in disbelief, and asked cautiously: "So... so... if we capture them and hand them over to the navy, we will get 1 billion Baileys?"
"Uh... yes..."
"Is there a bounty? Let me see it..."
Robin handed out a stack of bounty notices woodenly. The wizards immediately gathered over like flies smelling feces, and then they all gasped and the whole room became hot.
"One...ten...hundred...thousand...tens..."
"Really? The highest is 1.39 billion Baileys, and the lowest is 860 million Baileys!"
"The three disasters plus the four generals, all together, are worth about 7 billion berries. We are rich now!!"
"Idiot! The newspaper said that the 'three disasters' didn't all come, so we have to subtract more than 1 billion!"
"Damn it! Why doesn't he come?! Won't we lose a lot of money like this?!"
"Don't worry! Don't forget that there are two more 'Four Emperors'. They are the big guys. The two of them have 9 billion berries together. Add those small characters here and there, and it shouldn't be a problem to get 15 billion berries!"
"15 billion? Oh my God! I have never seen so much money in my life..."
"What I'm saying is, with so much money, I can just lie at home and eat fish until I die, right?"
"If I could get one tenth of this money... no, one percent, I wouldn't have to worry about rent anymore!!"
"Idiot! You already have so much money, why would you rent a house? Of course you should buy a house and then rent it out to collect rent!!"
"Now I don't have to worry about the money for milk powder... hehehehe!!"
"Don't say that in front of everyone, idiot Gajeel!!"
Robin stood there in a daze: "..."
What's wrong with this group of people? When I said their bounty is over 1 billion, I meant to say they are very strong and difficult to deal with, not to say they are valuable!!
While a group of people were arguing, Marcus, a business genius, raised a very constructive question: "Now there is a very serious problem. How should we divide so much money?"
"Of course whoever defeats the opponent gets the money!"
“No, no…”
Kira stepped forward and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "Everyone, listen to me. Fairy Tail has just started in this world. I think everyone should be more conscious and pay a portion of the guild fee. Half is fine. Give me the money. As the new president, I will definitely build this place exactly like Magnolia..."
"You wish! You are clearly trying to embezzle money!"
"The old man hasn't stepped down yet, and we haven't acknowledged you as the new president yet!"
Everyone interrupted Kira's speech with roars, determined not to give this money-making ghost any chance to take advantage.
"I'll take this money!" For the sake of his unborn child, Gajeel's attitude today was very arrogant.
Kira wanted to retort, but swallowed the words back.
He suddenly remembered that Gajeel himself was not an S-class wizard and his income was limited. As for Levi's size, if he didn't save some money for milk powder now, he might be starving when the twins were born.
"Forget it. No matter how hard it is, I can't let my child suffer. I'll let you go for now."
Gajeel: “???”
Leibi understood what Kira meant immediately, and she noticed that after Kira finished speaking, several people looked at her small chest. She blushed with shame and lowered her head.
However, just because smart people like Kira, experienced and experienced old perverts can understand this, it doesn't mean that young people can also understand it.
"Hmph! That depends on whether you can snatch your opponent..." Laxus sneered and straightened the coat on his back, looking at Gajeel provocatively.
Gajeel retorted unyieldingly, "You look down on me? Let me tell you, I've defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Shichibukai? I heard them talk about it. It's Crocodile, right? Isn't that guy just a stronger version of Marcus? It's so funny. What's there to be proud of? We have beaten CP9!"
Marcus: ? ?!
"The Shichibukai and CP9 are so weak, okay? Can they be more important than the admirals of the navy?"
Gray proudly interrupted the topic, attracting Juvia's obsessed gaze and screams: "Mr. Gray is so handsome~"
"Anyway, leave this strongest guy to me! I'm already excited!" Natsu grabbed Kaido's bounty list and raised it, his face full of excitement.
Erza snatched the bounty and said in a firm, unyielding tone: "Natsu, the water is too deep here. You can't control yourself. Just leave it to me!"
Seeing the Fairy Tail mages quarreling fiercely, several Twelve Shields couldn't help but join in.
"By the way, in this battle, I am the main force, right?"
Neinhart flirtatiously shook his bangs. "If the rewards are distributed according to 'whoever wins the pirate bounty gets it', then I'm facing 20,000 pirates alone, so I should get the most money, right?"
Dimalia sneered, her chest trembling: "As long as I'm here, no one can steal my head!"
Brandish said calmly: "In fact, if possible, I would like to keep those people here. The desserts they make are completely different from Aslant's desserts and are very unique..."
"Nani?! A dessert that even Brandish, who has tried almost all the delicacies in Aslant, would praise?!"
Erza and Wendy glanced at each other at the same time, and their originally tough attitudes softened a lot: "If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do! Let's keep a few people to make desserts!"
"How could that be possible...the other party is an enemy!"
"There will definitely be a way by then!"
After a flurry of noise, the wizards quickly formed several teams, such as "Who can get the highest bounty for killing pirates?", "Who can kill the most pirates?", and "Who can capture a few people to make desserts?".
Irene on the throne did not stop the noise from the crowd, but just sat quietly in her seat with an amused smile on her face. Of course, her eyes were more on Erza.
