"Extra! Extra!"
"The Navy has issued updated bounties for all members of the Rocks Pirates."
"Beast Brian, the new executive of the Rocks Pirates, has broken the record for the highest first-time bounty in history."
"Shocking! Beast Brian's Beast Girl Legion consists entirely of female pirates with unique, outstanding appearances and formidable strength."
...
Following the shock caused worldwide by the news released by Morgans' newspaper agency a day earlier, the World Government's newspaper agency delivered another massive shock to the world.
However, what they released were not news reports, but bounty posters—the latest updated bounties targeting all members of the Rocks Pirates.
The moment these bounty posters were issued, pirates across the world went into a frenzy once again.
"Rocks D. Xebec, Captain of the Rocks Pirates, abilities unknown, bounty 6 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Edward Newgate, Senior Executive of the Rocks Pirates, Tremor-Tremor Fruit user, bounty 3.48 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Golden Lion Shiki, Senior Executive of the Rocks Pirates, Float-Float Fruit user, bounty 3.35 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Charlotte Linlin, Senior Executive of the Rocks Pirates, Soul-Soul Fruit user, bounty 3.29 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"John, Executive of the Rocks Pirates, bounty 1.61 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Wang Zhi, Executive of the Rocks Pirates, bounty 1.57 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Silver Axe, Executive of the Rocks Pirates, bounty 1.48 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Kaido, Apprentice of the Rocks Pirates, bounty 960 million Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
...
The above were the updated bounty posters for the original Rocks Pirates members at executive level and above.
Of course, Kaido the apprentice was included as an exception.
Although he was an apprentice, he had long made a name for himself and held some prestige in the pirate world.
When updating the bounties, the Navy naturally didn't forget about him.
As for members below executive level, we won't go into detail, but their bounties were all increased to some extent.
In addition to the above bounties, what followed were Brian and his subordinates.
All of them were receiving bounties for the first time, yet each amount was absurdly high.
"Beast Brian, Senior Executive of the Rocks Pirates, fruit ability unknown (suspected Zoan Type), bounty 3.02 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Griffin, Subordinate of the Beasts, Member of the Rocks Pirates, Zoan Mythical Creature Type Cat-Cat Fruit Griffin Form user, bounty 1.27 billion Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Feixue, Subordinate of the Beasts, Member of the Rocks Pirates, Zoan Ancient Type Dragon-Dragon Fruit Wyvern Form user, bounty 500 million Berries. Extremely heinous, dead or alive!"
"Yin, member of the Rocks Pirates, subordinate of the Beasts, Zoan Type Common Type: Cat-Cat Fruit, Tiger Form ability user, bounty 310 million Berries. Heinous criminal, dead or alive!"
"Xuan, member of the Rocks Pirates, subordinate of the Beasts, Zoan Type: Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Form ability user, bounty 310 million Berries. Heinous criminal, dead or alive!"
"Fu, member of the Rocks Pirates, subordinate of the Beasts, Zoan Type Common Type: Bat-Bat Fruit, Bat Form ability user, bounty 260 million Berries. Heinous criminal, dead or alive!"
"Ling, member of the Rocks Pirates, subordinate of the Beasts, Zoan Type Common Type: Dog-Dog Fruit, Akita Form ability user, bounty 210 million Berries. Heinous criminal, dead or alive!"
"Mian, member of the Rocks Pirates, subordinate of the Beasts, Zoan Type Common Type: Sheep-Sheep Fruit, Sheep Form ability user, bounty 190 million Berries. Heinous criminal, dead or alive!"
Led by Brian, plus seven Beast Girls - a full eight bounty posters, all receiving their first bounties.
The combined total for these eight individuals reached a staggering 6.07 billion Berries.
Oh, exactly matching Rocks' individual bounty, just 70 million more.
For first bounties to reach such astronomical figures was simply unbelievable.
Because of this, the entire world went crazy.
All ambitious individuals activated their intelligence networks to gather information about Brian and his group of Beast Girls.
Unfortunately, the results were limited.
Even the Navy's current intelligence collection on the Beast Girls remained relatively crude, let alone others.
The only difference was that the Beast Girls' various appearances and looks actually gained them a large number of fans.
These fans, of course, were the furry enthusiast type.
The Beast Girls perfectly matched all kinds of images in their minds - every style could be found, the ultimate fantasy vessels.
This massive wave of fans also showed intense envy and resentment toward Brian.
If given the opportunity in the future, they would definitely make him pay dearly.
Hachinosu.
The executives all obtained the latest bounty posters and were equally astonished.
"Mamamama, that Brian kid is really something. To reach 3 billion on his first bounty is quite impressive."
Linlin devoured cake while looking at Brian's bounty.
For some reason, she suddenly found Brian quite handsome.
"That Brian kid has now reached a level where he's qualified to become my husband. I want to have children with him."
"With both our talents, we'd definitely produce a child with top-tier potential surpassing even Katakuri."
"Mamamamama, I want it, I really want it. Brian, you just wait for me."
Unknowingly, Brian had caught the attention of the famously promiscuous woman of the Rocks Pirates.
Charlotte Linlin was very confident in her appearance.
Brian seemed like just a young lad to her - she was sure she could easily win him over.
Her curvaceous figure and those milky-white breasts, each larger than Brian's face, weren't just for show.
Most executives on the ship, even Kaido, couldn't keep their hands off these treasures, and Linlin believed Brian would be no different.
Unlike Charlotte Linlin's hormonal surge upon seeing Brian's bounty...
Whitebeard remained rather indifferent about it; after all, Brian was still somewhat inferior to him.
Shiki was the same, quite confident in his own strength.
At most, the two of them were particularly concerned about Griffin Girl, who had a bounty of over a billion placed on Brian in one go.
This was a combat power that could vaguely threaten them, worthy of attention and respect.
As for the rest, it wasn't much of an issue.
Among the cadres, Silver Axe had the most intense reaction.
According to rumors, on the day Silver Axe saw the bounty poster, he destroyed everything in his residence.
Not just once, but a full three times, and he still wasn't satisfied.
In the end, he left Hachinosu alone with his men to go out and kill to vent his anger.
The grudge over his lost right hand was something Silver Axe could never let go of.
