I, Broly, began by destroying the pirate world.

25 The woman with the best strategy in the One Piece world

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... How... how is this possible?!"

The latter half of the Grand Line, the New World, Onigashima, adjacent to Wano Country.

Queen, the third-in-command of the Beasts Pirates, received a brand-new bounty poster from his subordinate.

He squinted his tiny, beady eyes, his fingers trembling as he counted the units on the numbers below the bounty poster. When the blindingly large number finally came into view, Quinn's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his enormous body shook like a leaf.

He ran frantically towards Wano Country, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Quick! Prepare a ship for me right now! I need to report this to Kaido immediately!"

At this moment, inside the castle tower in the Flower Capital, the capital of Wano Country.

Kaido sat side by side with Orochi, looking down at the center of the plaza, enjoying Kozuki Oden's daily "signature performance"—a naked dance.

With a comical loincloth around his waist, Kozuki Oden writhed like a clown amidst the unrestrained laughter of Kaido and Orochi, and under the unbearable yet forced gazes of the Wano Country citizens.

At this absurd and humiliating moment, Queen, dragging his round, fat body, scrambled to Kaido's feet, panting and shouting, "Kaido, big brother! Something terrible has happened! Look at this!"

Kaido frowned and impatiently snatched the bounty poster from Queen's hand.

When his gaze swept over the unruly, somewhat wild child's face on the wanted poster, and then fell on the bounty amount below, even Kaido, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, couldn't help but shrink his pupils and widen his fierce eyes.

The nickname on the bounty poster was no longer "Demon Child," but clearly printed with the monster's real name—Broly.

What truly terrifies people is that number—the bounty: 100 billion Berries!

Even Kaido couldn't help but gasp.

Not to mention him, even his former boss, Rocks D. Xebec, the captain of the Rocks Pirates, never received such an outrageous bounty back then!

Of course, the bounty amount back then hadn't ballooned to what it is today. Otherwise, given Rocks' infamous reputation, getting 50 billion Berries wouldn't have been difficult, but reaching the astronomical figure of 100 billion was still a pipe dream.

The black charcoal-colored serpent beside him curiously leaned closer. When he saw the number on the bounty poster, he collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been removed, muttering tremblingly, "Has the outside world gone mad? How can a three-year-old brat... have such a high bounty? Are you kidding me?!"

Kaido's face darkened, and the atmosphere around him instantly became frighteningly tense, as if the air itself had frozen: "What on earth did this kid do? Why has his bounty increased so many times in such a short period of time?"

"N-I don't know!" Quinn, covered in cold sweat, swallowed hard and answered in a trembling voice, "According to the World Economic News...it's still under further investigation."

This scene is unfolding in every corner of the world right now.

When Broly's wanted poster, bearing a bounty of 100 billion Berries, spread throughout the world and resounded along the Grand Line, everyone was stunned.

People were shocked not only by the unbelievable amount of the bounty, but also by what earth-shattering crime this boy named Broly had committed in less than a month that made the World Government grit its teeth and raise his bounty to such a terrifying height.

Meanwhile, on the other side, on a vast, boundless sea.

A giant warship, large enough to hold a thousand people, is drifting aimlessly on the sea.

Strangely, this warship, which should have been flying the naval banner of justice and filled with naval soldiers, was now crammed with ragged slaves covered in wounds.

Although they were dressed in tattered clothes and looked disheveled, there was no sign of dejection on their faces. On the contrary, they were all in high spirits, their faces beaming with the joy and exhilaration of surviving a disaster.

On the mast were three richly dressed men covered in blood—they were none other than the high and mighty Celestial Dragons: Satan, Maz, and Gringu.

The slaves surrounded them, some brandishing rusty knives and stabbing the Celestial Dragons repeatedly.

Some lit torches and held them close to their bodies to roast them.

Others poured seawater on their wounds, trying every possible way to vent the resentment and pain that had accumulated over decades.

For these slaves who suffered under the oppression of the Celestial Dragons and were living a life worse than death, there was nothing more satisfying than watching these "gods" who once regarded them as worthless grass being tortured like dogs.

This warship was the one Broly "snatched" from the navy when he led several hundred slaves to escape Mary Geoise.

However, calling it "robbery" is a bit of a stretch—after all, the naval soldiers at the time didn't even have the courage to stop them.

Broly lay lazily on a deckchair, propping his head up with one hand, his tone tinged with impatience: "Tiger, how far is it to the next island?"

It has been almost a week since they left Mary Geoise, but the warship is still circling on the sea, with no sign of any islands in sight.

This prompted Broly to question Fisher Tiger, the only one among the hundreds of people on board who knew navigation.

Tiger quickly stepped forward, a sheepish smile on his face, and scratched his head, explaining, "I'm so sorry, Lord Broly! Because there's no permanent compass, I can't accurately determine the direction..."

Tiger was indeed an experienced navigator, but his navigation skills were ultimately no match for Nami of the Straw Hat Pirates' unparalleled mastery.

Without a permanent pointer to guide you, you're like a headless fly on this unpredictable sea.

Broly pursed his lips. If all else failed, he might as well just use his flight technique to leave.

Just then, a loud shout came from the lookout tower at the top of the mast: "Lord Broly! There's a ship at three o'clock!"

The one who shouted was Gilder Tezzoro, who stood on the edge of the observation deck, pointing to the distant horizon with an excited tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads in unison to look in the direction Tesoro was pointing.

A strangely shaped pirate ship was slowly approaching.

Two enormous sea serpents were tied to the sides of the ship, and a pirate flag with a hydra design fluttered in the wind on the sail, exuding a wild and domineering aura.

Tiger glanced at it once, his expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "That's the symbol of the Kuja Pirates!"

Broly raised an eyebrow, a playful smile curving his lips.

The Kuja Pirates.

This name was all too familiar to him, a time traveler.

I wonder if that woman, known as "the best strategy guide in the pirate world," is on the ship right now?
