"No matter what ability that man has, his strength alone is limited. The battle between Gion, Golden Lion, and him can prove this point. As long as we catch him, it doesn't matter what ability he possesses."
"Given how dangerous Rifan and the crew of the Black Pearl Pirates are, the Marine and the World Government have issued a new bounty for the Black Pearl Pirates and distributed it worldwide through newsbirds."
"Additionally, the World Government has credited Hina and Gion for their involvement in the Crocodile incident, which has been reported in the newspapers."
"Kuzan, Sakazuki, you two came late, you can take a look for now."
Sengoku said, and passed the two newspapers with the reward order to Kuzan and Sakazuki.
"Former member of Baroque Work, now the main force of the Black Pearl Pirates, offering a reward of 300 million Berry."
"Proficient in Conqueror's Haki, and master Marine Six Styles, can even use the Six Kings Gun to break through the walls that the Golden Lion uses abilities to build!"
"There are not many people in the Marine and World Governments who can use the Six Kings Gun."
"Such a girl can indeed deserve 300 million Berry reward."
Kuzan looked at Mikita's reward order, sighed, and then flipped to Nico Robin's reward order.
Looking at the brand new photos on Robin's bounty, Kuzan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"This woman, her image has changed a lot."
"Her reward of 80 million Berry didn't change but her image change so much."
Kuzan sighed.
At this moment, Marine still doesn't know that Crocodile is not actually defeated by Rifan.
Instead, Robin led Ada and Vivi to defeat him.
Otherwise, Robin's bounty will only be higher.
"Cat Burglar Nami, suspected of Thunder Devil Fruit ability user, and her ability is not weak, the bounty is 230 million Berry."
"If this woman is really a Thunder Fruit devil fruit user, she is worthy of this reward."
"Nojiko, she can fight against Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral for a short period of time without losing."
"And can also use 'Hakoku', which is suspected to be a titan technique?!"
"She really is a woman with potential, but I think 80 million Berry is too low for her but since it's her first time, it should be fine."
"Tony Tony Chopper, which is suspected of being a pet, can show the strange power and speed that can rival Gion after transforming."
"This is, even a suspected pet guy can get 100 million Berry?"
Kuzan looked at the reward order, newspapers, and related reports and kept sighing.
Afterwards, his eyes flicked over the bounty orders of Carina, who was offered a reward of 30 million Berry by Marine, Jewelry Bonney, who was offered a reward of 43 million Berry, and Ada Wong, who was offered a reward of 20 million Berry.
After that, his eyes was on Vivi, who offered a reward of 20 million Berry and only Live.
"A princess pirate who was kidnapped by the Black Pearl Pirates?"
"Sengoku-san, is this explanation given by Alabasta reliable?"
Kuzan put down the reward order and looked at Sengoku suspiciously.
"Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, it cannot change her identity as a princess."
"Alabasta is another member of the World Government so we need to give them this much of respect."
Sengoku said solemnly, then picked up Rifan's reward order and displayed it in front of everyone.
"The captain of the Black Pearl Pirates, 'Black Mist' Rifan, offers a reward of 1 billion Berry."
"Although this guy's bounty has doubled."
"However, he is known for his devil fruit ability and power uses such as Haki etc."
"His crew also have many good players with potentials."
"This man deserves a reward of 1 billion Berry."
"If you encounter this man in the future, everyone must take it seriously!"
Sengoku said in a deep voice.
Hearing Sengoku's words, everyone nodded seriously.
At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door outside the office.
"What's wrong?"
Sengoku frowned, and looked in the direction of the door suspiciously.
After Sengoku's voice fell, the door was quickly pushed open, and what appeared in front of everyone was a soldier with bite marks all over his body.
"Marshal Sengoku, something is amiss!"
"The wounded soldiers brought in by Vice Admiral Gion are behaving strangely!"
"They've started to explode and attack anyone in sight!"
"Numerous individuals have been inadvertently bitten by them."
"What's even more alarming is that some fresh recruits and weaker sailors, who were bitten, are now experiencing the same symptoms as the wounded soldiers!"
"At this point, many people have... Urg!"
The soldier who is reporting what he knows to Sengoku and others, suddenly, his expression froze, and he began to vomit.
"Are you okay?"
A Marine General who was closer came over strangely, and put his hand on the shoulder of the soldier.
Unexpectedly, the soldier face suddenly became ferocious, and he directly slammed into the General arm.
The tingling sensation in his hand made the General eyes widen, and subconsciously punched the soldier away.
Such a scene made Sengoku, Sakazuki and others frowned, and looked at the soldier who was blown out.
The soldier stood up unsteadily, and his face was once again displayed in front of everyone.
The difference from before is that the soldier at this moment is like a dead person, without human emotions.
What is even more frightening is that his body began to rot at a high speed, and his fingers continued to fall off from his body.
"This situation, could it be...?!"
Maynard exclaimed, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
"Damn, isn't this similar to those monsters brought by the Golden Lion?!"
"Could it be that the physical conditions of those monsters are still contagious!"
Vice Admiral Bastille stood up in shock.
Gion, who also participated in the Alabasta operation, did not speak, but her entire face was completely gloomy.
"Frozen Time Capsule!"
Just when the soldier who become a zombie opened his mouth again and rushed towards General ferociously.
Marine Admiral Kuzan made a sudden move, directly freezing the sailor with ice.
"Everyone, I'll go and see the situation first."
After leaving a word, Kuzan quickly rushed out of the office, heading towards the place where the wounded soldiers and recruits are.
Immediately afterwards, Kizaru also turned into a laser and left the office in an instant.
"Let's go take a look too."
After Sengoku said it, everyone followed Kuzan and Kizaru and left the office.
Sengoku, Garp, and Gion are all fast players.
Even though Kuzan and Kizaru were one step behind, they arrived at their destination without spending too much time.
And the situation that imprinted in their eyes made them overwhelmed.
With the wounded barracks as the centre, a large number of soldiers turned into zombie-like monsters, crazily biting and attacking the surrounding living creatures, even ordinary chickens and ducks!
Among them, many have been frozen by Kuzan with cold air.
Borsalino also sighed while kicking a sailor away from time to time.
"Damn, how could this happen!"
Gion's eyes widened, her voice trembling with anger.
After seeing the situation in front of her with her own eyes, she immediately connected the situation of the sailors in front of her with the zombie monster that the Golden Lion threw at them in Alabasta.
It can be said that, except for the difference in physique, the situation of the soldiers in front of them is exactly the same as those zombie monsters!
"Kuzan, completely freeze them first."
Sengoku frowned and gave the order on the spot.
"Understood, Sengoku-san."
Kuzan has long wanted to do this, and now has orders from Sengoku, who is Marshal.
Naturally, he didn't hold back his hands, and soon, all the soldiers who turned into zombies were frozen.
"Gion, now is not the time to be sad."
"The most important thing is to investigate things clearly."
Tsuru said to Gion, and then stepped forward to investigate carefully.
Gion took a deep breath, and after calming down a little, she followed, intending to take a good look at the frozen soldiers.
Because this incident almost attracted all the Marine executives.
So the speed of investigation is very fast.
It didn't take long for a medical soldier to come to Sengoku, Kuzan, Gion and other Marine executives with a report.
"Marshal Sengoku, we have roughly understood the relevant situation."
"Those soldiers who came back from Alabasta should have accumulated something like a zombie virus in a storybook."
"Those viruses grow, spread, and eventually mature into the wounded soldier's body."
"After the mature outbreak, they will become zombies."
"And when they become zombies and attack other people, this virus will also enter other people's bodies."
"Perhaps it is because these viruses derived from zombie beasts have adapted and grown in the human body."
"So soldiers who are newly exposed to the zombie virus will soon develop corresponding symptoms and quickly become zombies..."
The medic spoke in a trembling voice.
It was the first time he encountered such a situation after practicing medicine for so long.
He was even worried about whether he would become a zombie.
"I've also been injured by a zombie beast, why am I fine?"
"And he was bitten by a zombie soldier before, he's also fine!"
Maynard took a step forward, pointing to General Marine who was bitten by the soldier in the conference room earlier and said.
"Well, we guess that the zombie virus may not be very effective on people with strong physical fitness."
"However, the data we have is still too little, and we need to study it carefully."
The medical soldier looked at Maynard with some fear, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly turn into a zombie.
Maynard noticed the medical soldier's eyes, and his unattractive look became even uglier.
"Maynard, you will be checked later."
"No matter what, you can't do anything."
"The number of people who have turned into zombies this time has exceeded 20,000, and almost all recruits are gone."
"As for being injured by zombies, there are about 5,000 people with high fever symptoms."
"There are about a thousand people who are asymptomatic."
"Marine has lost a lot, and the Vice Admiral like you can't have any more problems."
Sengoku turned his head to look at Maynard, and said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Maynard nodded heavily.
He is also quite familiar with the situation.
So he naturally know what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
"That bastard Shiki, disappeared for so many years."
"As soon as it came out, he made such a thing!"
"Sengoku, we need to restore that bastard bounty!"
"There is also William, the scientist next to Shiki mentioned by Gion, who also needs to offer a reward."
Tsuru added.
"I know. I will never forgive that lunatic!"
Sengoku clenched his fists and said angrily.
Among all the Marines, he can be said to be the most vexed person.
The recruits recruited in the past year have been completely zombified, which can be said to have a serious impact on Marine in the next year.
Thinking of this, he wondered why he hadn't directly executed that bastard Shiki like Roger.
"Marshal Sengoku, there is one thing I need to tell you."
At this time, Gion walked up to Sengoku very seriously, and looked at the medical soldiers beside him.
Sengoku understood what Gion meant, and immediately asked the medic to leave to go about his own business.
"Tell me, Gion, what happened?"
Sengoku said in a deep voice.
"Actually, in Alabasta, Jewelry Bonney was also attacked by zombies beasts and got bitten."
"And I remember that her body also reacted from the virus. Chopper, who is suspected to be the ship's doctor of the Black Pearl Pirates, has been treating that woman."
"Marshal, as you know, that Bonney is that guy's daughter. If something happened to her, that man might run away."
Gion said very seriously.
Sengoku frowned even more when he heard that.
He naturally knew that "that man" that Gion was talking about was Tyrant Kuma, and he also knew that it would have very bad consequences if Kuma went berserk.
