Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Demon Lucifer, Famous All Over The World!
"Dark Fruit, where the hell are you?"
Blackbeard has been searching for the Dark Fruit since he set sail.
But more than ten years have passed, and the Dark Fruit still hasn't appeared.
Seeing new strong men constantly emerging on the sea, Blackbeard felt increasingly anxious.
If he waits any longer, he really won't have a chance.
After all, it's not just Whitebeard who is getting old; he is too.
...
In the New World, Wano Country.
This is Kaido's territory, home of the Beasts Pirates, and a place in the New World that no one dares to trespass.
"Master Kaido, a very interesting newcomer has appeared in the first half of the Grand Line, and he has a reward of 230 million Baileys."
"I heard that his fruit ability is very strong, the same as Admiral Kizaru's."
A pirate presented a bounty to Kaido.
Kaido drank heartily from a wine gourd, and at the same time glanced at the bounty out of the corner of his eye, smiling disdainfully.
"A mere brat, why should I care?"
"Even if he has the same ability as that yellow monkey, what's the use? No one can kill me anyway!"
"If he's a Zoan, I might consider taking him as a subordinate!"
Kaido of the Beasts is focused on forming the strongest Zoan pirate crew and is only interested in those with Zoan abilities.
Although Lucifer is impressive, Kaido doesn't care for him.
"Hey, Jhin, haven't you found enough Zoan users yet?"
Kaido put down the wine gourd, looked at the flame beside him, and asked with a low growl.
"My subordinates are insufficient."
"If this continues, when will I launch a war to destroy the world?!"
"I'm sorry, Governor Kaido."
"There are already few capable people, and it will take more time to form an army of Zoan users."
Flame Calamity Jhin was also very helpless.
There are only a few capable people, and even fewer are Zoan.
Not to mention forming an army of Zoan ability users—it's simply whimsical!
Of course, Jhin would not express this thought.
That would only irritate Kaido, and he would be beaten for no reason.
"It would be great if Zoan Devil Fruits could be man-made; then I could continuously produce Zoan users."
Kaido suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"How is that possible?"
Flame Calamity Jhin thought it was just another whim of his captain.
But what Jhin didn't know was that this idea would actually come true a few years later.
...
On the other side, on a small island in the New World, the Red-Haired Pirates are stationed here.
"Hahahaha, it's amazing! A newcomer has a reward of 230 million Baileys for his first bounty! When I got my first reward, it was only 20 million."
"Don't compare yourself to others; the more you do, the less confident you become."
"Nani? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm now a big pirate with a bounty of 480 million! My bounty is much higher than that brat's."
"Wuhu, 480 million! That's amazing! I'm so scared. I was offered a reward of 550 million; did I say anything?"
The members of the Red-Haired Pirates gathered together for a banquet, and the atmosphere was lively.
Although this group of pirates appears carefree, they are all very powerful.
Just catching one pirate with a reward of over 100 million is a common feat; there are quite a few pirates with a bounty of more than 500 million.
And their captain, Red-Haired Shanks, is a super pirate with a bounty of over 3 billion, and a quasi-Four Emperors in the New World.
(In the original story, Marine mentioned in a meeting in 1522 that Red-Haired Shanks had been one of the Four Emperors for 6 years.
That means Shanks became one of the Four Emperors in 1516.
The current time period is just beginning in 1516, which means that Shanks is fighting to become one of the Four Emperors and is still one step away from achieving that title.)
"The newcomers are really amazing."
Red-Haired Shanks sat on a rock, looked at the bounty in his hand, and smiled.
"Why, who does he remind you of?"
The first officer, Ben Beckman, placed a glass of wine beside Shanks and asked while puffing out smoke rings.
"Ah, I did think of someone, but it's too early for him; I have to wait a few more years."
"I'm just lamenting this era."
After drinking a glass of wine, Shanks sighed deeply: "Another young man who inherits the will of Captain Gol D. Roger has gone to sea."
"Sooner or later, this seed will grow into a towering tree."
Shanks inherited the will of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King. In his eyes, these outstanding newcomers who go to sea are the extension of Roger's will.
"Little ones, the party is on!"
Red-Haired Shanks stood up and yelled.
"Captain, didn't you say you were feeling unwell?"
"Yes, Captain! The doctor says you mustn't drink."
"Idiot, how can you not drink as a pirate?"
Shanks scoffed.
"And after the banquet is over, we'll have a big battle with the Henry Pirates."
"If you don't eat and drink enough, how can you have the strength to fight?"
At this time, Shanks has not yet become one of the Four Emperors.
In the New World, there are three emperors, and countless powerful pirates are vying for the last emperor's throne.
Shanks led the Red-Haired Pirates and several powerful pirate groups are fighting for territory.
Only the final victor can ascend to the throne and sit on equal footing with Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido of the Beasts.
...
With the spread of Lucifer's bounty order, Lucifer's name began to echo across the world.
Many prominent figures and forces have noticed the existence of Lucifer, and they are also aware of his record of beheading a Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral.
Young, capable, extraordinarily talented, and decisive, Lucifer's various qualities have made many big shots optimistic about his future.
As long as he doesn't die prematurely, he will undoubtedly become a significant threat to Marine in the future. This is the common view among many big pirates.
Lucifer is already famous all over the world.
