Bab 93: Chapter 93: Bounty of 2.5 Billion
Besides the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, Lin Yan saw reports about himself. Whitebeard had issued a worldwide bounty, offering ten billion berries to anyone who could bring Lin Yan back. Lin Yan was stunned. Whitebeard, known for his stinginess, was willing to spend a fortune, showing how much everyone on the ship cared about his safety. A touch of emotion appeared on Lin Yan's face.
During these three days, the Navy had also announced new bountys. "Lin I think you should take a look at this personally!" Shaki handed Lin Yan another newspaper with a sly smile. Lin Yan instinctively opened the newspaper and was completely dumbfounded by its contents.
The headline read: [The Bounty of Lin, the Captain of the 17th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, is Announced!]
Lin Yan marveled. He had been a pirate for some time, and now, after the battle at the summit, he was finally going to get a bounty. He carefully counted the numbers, and was utterly shocked. The bounty was two and a half billion berries! Lin Yan was so astonished that he sat up from the sickbed, disbelief in his eyes, his heart in turmoil.
He exclaimed, "Two and a half billion???" Yes, after the battle at the summit, the Navy directly offered a bounty of two and a half billion berries for him. This amount was staggering, even for Marco or King, the emperor's deputies, whose bounties only reached around one billion. Lin Yan not only surpassed them but also instantly reached the top. Across the entire sea, only a few people had bounties exceeding two and a half billion.
He counted again, unable to believe his eyes. "Did I count it wrong?" he wondered. Shaki reassured him, "Captain, you did not count wrong! During your coma, we counted many times! And besides you, the members of your 17th division have also been issued bounties by the Navy!"
Shaki's smile faded as she continued. Issho and Aramaki were directly offered bounties of one billion berries each. Zephyr, being a former Navy admiral, had no bounty due to his connections and the Navy's guilt. However, the announcement caused a massive stir on the sea. Lin Yan's division alone had a combined bounty of 4.5 billion berries, more than even some of the Four Emperors of the New World.
Rayleigh, after taking a sip of wine, added seriously, "Do you know what it means for the Navy to issue such a high bounty on you?" Lin Yan turned to him, curious. Rayleigh explained, "Back then, even Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki all rose from bounties of one billion step by step. Do you know how many people went crazy when they heard your first bounty was two and a half billion berries?"
When Lin Yan's bounty was announced, the sea was stunned, confused, and disbelieving. Tens of thousands of pirates were boiling over. This was emperor level! Previously unknown, Lin Yan had his first bounty reach such heights. People rubbed their eyes, thinking they missed a zero or a number.
Rayleigh compared Lin Yan to the once powerful Pirate King Roger, the world's strongest man Whitebeard, and the legendary Flying Pirate Captain Shiki, who all rose step by step. In contrast, Lin Yan had skipped all those steps, joining the ranks of the emperors of the New World.
Reports about Lin Yan stirred up the Grand Line, containing untold TNT. Calming it down would take more than ten or a hundred days. The summit war's impact would last for the next five to ten years.
Shaki, smiling beside him, asked, "So, how does it feel to have the Navy issue such a high first bounty, surpassing even Roger and Whitebeard?" Lin Yan replied slowly, "Feeling? What else could I feel? As the saying goes, 'The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows,' the days ahead won't be easy, right?"
Despite the Whitebeard Pirates winning the summit war, the disgraced Navy would target them first. The road ahead would not be easy.
