Chapter 37

Although Corazon didn't know how the Fleet Admiral Sengoku came by this information, he reported everything he knew truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Sengoku fell into a long silence.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"

"Sigh..."

With a deep sigh, Sengoku finally understood.

If those two boys were survivors from the town of Frevance, then it was natural for them to hate the navy and the World Government.

The people of Frevance were all victims of some vast scheme!

However, from another perspective, Sengoku was relieved.

Even if these two teenagers were determined to stay in the Donquixote family.

Because even the most terrifying genius would only be a handful of dust if they didn't live to maturity.

How long could the two of them, afflicted with the Amber Lead syndrome, survive? Three years? Five years?

There was no point in discussing it further.

Therefore, while sighing, Sengoku completely gave up the idea of having Corazon take risks and decided to let nature take its course.

This news would also pacify the anxious heart of Kuzan.

To Sengoku's surprise, Corazon picked up the conversation and asked, "Admiral Sengoku, is there really no cure for Amber Lead Syndrome? Not even from the Navy Headquarters?"

"The Navy Headquarters indeed doesn't have the technology to treat Amber Lead Syndrome, but the world is vast. There might be a highly skilled doctor somewhere who can find a cure."

Sengoku first crushed Corazon's hope but out of compassion, he didn't shut down the conversation entirely. He had a vague idea of what Corazon wanted to do but did not stop him. Regardless of the final result, it was a matter of fate.

...

A few days later, Doflamingo, who couldn't find joy in their victory, finally returned with his crew after docking the ship.

However, what had already changed was everyone's bounty.

The Donquixote family had eliminated four formidable pirate crews in one fell swoop. Furthermore, Doflamingo had killed many Navy personnel during the subsequent pursuit, which was a severe offence. As a result, Donquixote Doflamingo's bounty skyrocketed to 130 million Belly.

This figure would make a significant figure even in the first half of the Grand Line, let alone in the North Blue.

It could be said that once this bounty was issued, hardly anyone in the North Blue would dare to oppose the Donquixote family unless Germa 66 decided to show up.

However, even this bounty could not truly match Doflamingo's actual strength or the crimes he had committed.

It was just that he seldom took action, and most of his crimes lacked evidence, leading to an inconclusive end.

The bounties of the other executives also increased to varying degrees.

Of course, no one cared about these things.

Because the Donquixote family were not exactly typical pirates. Doflamingo was more of an anomaly amongst pirates.

Operating the underground black market and engaging in all sorts of illegal businesses.

Even the operations in the North Blue were just the beginning; Doflamingo had even bigger ambitions yet to be realized.

Therefore, he did not care about the fame that came with the bounty.
