Chapter 145: The Newspaper! The Five Elders' Decision
"what!!!"
As the old man finished speaking, a huge scream echoed from the gambling den. Then, the door slowly opened, and the old man stepped out.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The old man's wooden cane touched the ground as he looked up at the distant sky, muttering to himself.
"Hehehe! This old man is truly astonished, Brother Mu! Such amazing changes in such a short time are very gratifying. I really look forward to seeing you again!"
……
boom!
"What are those idiots doing? The hero has already reached the small garden, and they still haven't caught up?"
An angry voice echoed from the room where the Five Elders resided in Mary Geoise.
A bald, obese old man slammed a newspaper onto the table and chair.
"According to the CP organization's investigation, the Hero's ship has undergone special modifications and is very fast..."
"They're utterly useless. So what if their ships are fast? The king of Drum Island has already changed, and those idiots didn't even have time to react?"
The blond old man next to him had just opened his mouth to say something when he was interrupted by the bald fat man.
"Humph!"
The blond-haired old man glared at the other person, snorted coldly, leaned back on the sofa, and said no more.
"I think the newspapers exaggerated the incident in the little garden. Morgans has been getting increasingly unruly lately!"
An elderly man, carrying a long sword, frowned and slowly spoke when neither of them spoke.
"Hmph! Regardless of whether this newspaper article is exaggerated, I believe we can no longer let the gang of heroes get away with this. The ability to summon thunderclouds is no ordinary ability, and besides, they also possess Conqueror's Haki!"
An elderly man with white hair and a goatee snorted coldly, his tone slightly grave, and began to speak.
"Issue a bounty on the hero and his gang. Tell those idiots to keep a close eye on them, find out the hero's purpose, and also inform the navy to capture the hero!"
The bald, obese old man glanced at the newspaper on the table, his face clouded with gloom, and said directly...
"agree!"
"Hmph! I agree!"
……
"Sigh! The Five Elders are putting pressure on Gouka! The incompetence of the CP organization, coupled with the commotion Gouka caused on Drum Island and Little Garden, has made the Five Elders somewhat anxious, which is why they issued the bounty. They are forcing Gouka to take the initiative to contact the World Government!"
In Marineford, in Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office, Staff Officer Tsuru, holding a newspaper, sighed softly and slowly said...
boom!
"Hmph! If it weren't for that guy Crocodile messing things up, the mission to contact the heroes would probably have been completed long ago. He's more trouble than he's worth!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku slammed his fist on the table in anger, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Hahahaha! I knew all along that the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea were unreliable. The Five Elders really know how to order people around! But, that kid Haoxia is really fast!"
Garp, the naval hero sitting to Sengoku's right, was reclining on a stool, picking his nose, and said casually.
"Hmph! Pirates should be killed outright. Contact? Such a stupid order..."
"Sakazuki! Watch your words!!"
Admiral Sakazuki had barely uttered a sentence when Sengoku loudly interrupted him.
"Hahahaha, Sakazuki's words are just to my liking! Come on, have some senbei!"
boom!
"Kapp!!!"
Seeing his old buddy's nonchalant attitude, Sengoku was starting to get a little frustrated.
"Ahem! The Five Elders have already ordered a bounty to be placed on him. Let's discuss how to set the bounty amount!"
The advisor, Tsuru, coughed softly a few times, interrupting Sengoku, who was about to cast a spell.
"Hmm? But as far as I know, the hero's ship has never flown a pirate flag, has it? Is it appropriate to set a bounty like this? Isn't this forcing the hero to gravitate towards pirates? Pushing a man with Conqueror's Haki, who is suspected of being able to summon thunderclouds, to the opposite side of the Navy?"
Admiral Kuzan, who had returned to Marine Headquarters sometime earlier, said casually...
After Kuzan finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence. Everyone except Garp had their brows furrowed deeply.
"Execute the Five Elders' orders! Issue a bounty!"
After a long silence, a deep and powerful voice rang out, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku made the final decision.
"Sigh! I hope this decision is the right one!"
Staff Officer He stared intently at the man on the newspaper cover in his hand, and sighed softly.
……
"What? There's no photo of me? How could they do this to me? I was clearly there! Why isn't there a photo of me?"
On the deck of the Liberty, Slade excitedly held the newspaper in his hands, flipping through it back and forth, but he couldn't find his own picture, and he shouted angrily.
"Hehehehe! Maybe they didn't even see you, Slade! Does it really matter if there's a photo or not? Enel was there too, and he didn't get one either!"
Aisha, sitting next to Mu Chong, took a sip of juice and spoke in a bossy tone.
At this moment, all the crew members on the Freedom were gathered on the deck, sitting together, drinking wine and juice, and chatting.
After hearing Aisha's words, everyone nodded to Slade, indicating that she made sense.
"Huh? That's right! Look at this photo, there are only thunderclouds in the sky, but no picture of Enel! Hahahaha! They didn't even take a picture of your massive Thor form, Enel, you're so unlucky!"
Slade, realizing what was happening, flipped through the newspaper again. When he realized he didn't see Enel, he immediately beamed with joy.
Click!
"Tch! I am thunder, and thunder is me! Unlike you, who don't even have a decent cloud!"
Enel swallowed a mouthful of apple, glanced at Slard, and said with a disdainful look.
"Ah!!! Damn it! I'll kill you!! Enel!"
"Meow!!!"
"Hahahaha!!!!"
The two's reactions immediately made everyone sitting on the deck laugh; they couldn't stand not bickering each other for a day.
"Hmm! The newspaper does take a pretty good picture of the captain. Look at this headline: Conqueror's Haki triggers thunderclouds, the voice of a new generation of powerhouse resounds throughout Little Garden! Hehehehehe! Is this really my captain?"
Belinda picked up the newspaper Slard had thrown away, examined it carefully for a moment, and then said with a smile.
"Hahahaha! Of course! Who else could it be but me? Hmm! I have to say, Morgans really knows how to handle things this time! Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Mu Chong's face was beaming with a smile. Who can't enjoy being praised?
"Ok?"
"what?"
As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, Slad and Enel both turned to look at him. Then, after exchanging a glance, they pounced on Mu Chong without saying a word.
"Hey! What do you two think you're doing? I'm your captain! Baku, protect me, protect me!"
boom! boom! boom!
No one paid any attention to Mu Chong's shouts; only Slad and Enel continued to punch and kick him.
Mu Chong couldn't stay still, so the three of them instantly started fighting on the deck, two against one.
"Captain! Showing off will get you struck by lightning!"
"Captain! That Lei is me!"
boom! boom! boom!
"Damn it! You two, are you going to go this far? I'm still injured, and you've already used Armament Haki?"
Mu Chong stared at the four dark fists in front of him, and his head throbbed with fear.
"Hahaha! Fight on, Captain!"
"Hahaha! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, Captain!"
Slade and Enel completely ignored Mu Chong's words and continued their attack with great excitement.
"Hahahaha! Very well! Then let me test how well your physical skills have progressed!"
Mu Chong laughed loudly, ceasing his evasive maneuvers. His fists were covered in dark Armament Haki as he charged towards Slard and Enel.
boom! boom! boom!
"Sigh! Look! I'm going to prepare medicine for the wounds!"
Belinda was speechless at the fighting on the ship and turned to walk towards the cabin.
"Hehehe! I'll go prepare some more food; the captain and the others will definitely be hungry after the battle!"
Elsa also stood up and walked towards the kitchen while talking.
"Meow!!!"
The white cat Mumu followed closely behind; Aisha would feed it while she cooked.
In an instant, only four grown men remained on the deck, while Baku watched the three fighting with great interest.
