He had analyzed Nox's data, and according to Former Admiral Gikai, Nox's swordsmanship was very powerful, but his physique and Haki were not strong. This meant he was easier to target than other Rocks Pirates Executive Officers.
"Fleet Admiral, once Nox leaves the Rocks Pirates, I will personally go and capture him."
Kong said. With his strength, capturing Nox was very simple for him. After all, he was a man who could withstand even Rocks's attacks.
"Good, Kong, I'll leave it to you. You must bring him back."
"Next is the bounty for the Rocks Pirates. The World Government requires us to increase the bounty amount."
"Rocks D. Xebec, Captain of the Rocks Pirates, bounty 3.55 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer John, bounty 1.62 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Silver Axe, bounty 1.68 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Wang Zhi, bounty 1.67 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Kurozumi Higurashi, Imitation-Imitation Fruit user, bounty 550 million Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Kurozumi Higurashi Maru, Barrier-Barrier Fruit user, bounty 590 million Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Tremor-Tremor Fruit user, bounty 1.88 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Golden Lion Shiki, Grand Swordmaster, bounty 1.84 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Charlotte Linlin, Soul-Soul Fruit user, bounty 1.85 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates Executive Officer Nox, Sword Master, bounty 1.65 billion Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
"Rocks Pirates apprentice Kaido, bounty 310 million Berries, extremely heinous, dead or alive."
After setting the bounties, the wanted posters were issued to the entire World in the shortest possible time.
Roger Pirates:
"The Rocks Pirates are truly strong, they actually completely defeated the Marine."
Rayleigh said with emotion, looking at the newspaper in his hand.
"The Rocks Pirates are indeed very strong, but their methods are too overbearing, ruthless, and merciless. So many kingdoms have been plundered by them, I don't know how many people will die, and they even made this Sea extremely restless, causing many Pirates to lose their freedom."
The more Roger looked at the Rocks Pirates, the more displeased he was, but there was nothing he could do but avoid them.
"Forget it, let's not worry about the Rocks Pirates, let's have a party and have some fun!"
Then, Roger threw the newspaper away and started a party on the spot.
"Wow, Captain is wise!!!"
"wahahahahaha, we're back at Beehive Island, let's party!!"
When the Rocks Pirates returned to Beehive Island, Rocks laughed loudly, laughing excitedly.
"Long live the Captain!!"
"Party!!!"
"Hahaha, there's good wine to drink again!!"
"..."
After returning to the base camp, many Rocks Pirates members cheered. What Pirates love most is money, women, power, strength, and parties, and no Pirate would refuse a party.
"gura rara rara, Nox, I heard you defeated Former Admiral Gikai. It seems you've made great progress in these past three months!!"
During the party, Whitebeard came over to freeload on wine again. To make himself less awkward, he specifically said something nice.
"That guy Gikai seemed to have lost to me on purpose."
Nox said after downing a bottle of wine.
"Jie hahahaha, that guy probably wants to continue his retirement, so he deliberately lost to you."
Golden Lion also walked over with a drink at this time.
"Shiki, I heard you broke through to Grand Swordmaster when you fought Garp?"
Nox asked curiously. He had taken Shiki's slash before and was sure he was definitely not a Grand Swordmaster at that time.
"Jie hahahaha, Garp's fist is really hard. If I hadn't broken through to become a Grand Swordmaster, I might not have been able to cut through his fist."
Golden Lion laughed proudly.
Grand Swordmaster and Sword Master are a huge watershed. It can be said that in terms of attack power, Grand Swordmaster is almost equivalent to the attack of an Admiral level expert.
Now that Golden Lion has broken through to Grand Swordmaster, his strength is completely at the Admiral level.
Moreover, Golden Lion, a Grand Swordmaster, is not like Former Admiral Gikai, an old, retired Grand Swordmaster. He is a Grand Swordmaster who is completely at his peak, which is extremely terrifying.
It can be said that Grand Swordmaster are truly rare on the Sea, because the threshold for Grand Swordmaster is too high, almost trapping ninety-nine percent of Sword Master.
Even in the original work, there weren't many Grand Swordmaster that appeared.
"Shiki, when can we spar, as we talked about before?"
After confirming that Shiki had become a Grand Swordmaster, Nox wanted to spar with Shiki even more.
After all, a Grand Swordmaster level expert is very rare, and he also wanted to use Shiki's Sword Intent to help him break through to the Grand Swordmaster level.
Once he reaches Grand Swordmaster, his strength will once again experience a rapid leap forward.
"Jie hahahaha, Nox, if it was before I broke through, agreeing to you wouldn't be a problem, but now, sparring with you is just being your sparring partner, it's boring."
Golden Lion said proudly.
With his current strength, defeating Nox would require almost no effort. After all, the gap between an Admiral and an Admiral candidate is still very large.
Without being able to kill, Golden Lion Shiki didn't want to spar with Nox. If he were to spar, he would spar with Whitebeard. Sparring is only interesting when the strength difference between the two is not significant.
"Shiki, how about you spar with me six times, once every ten days, and I'll owe you a favor?"
Nox also knew that his request was a bit excessive. For someone stronger than himself, his request was indeed inappropriate, because the strong are respected, and the weak must have the awareness of the weak.
"Oh? No problem!!"
Hearing Nox say this, Golden Lion became interested. Although Nox's strength was temporarily behind, his potential was very great. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately befriended Nox before.
Now that he could make Nox owe him a favor, he could use this favor in the future to get ten or even a hundred times the return. What's more, he also needed a sparring partner to adapt to his Grand Swordmaster level strength
