Chapter 151: The Bounty That Shocked the World

New World!

At this time, deep beneath the sea, Shiro, who had been recovering in the submarine, finally returned to his peak state!

Feeling the power surging within, Shiro's expression was somewhat invigorating. It may have been a chain reaction triggered by his Godly Physique.

After obtaining the physique of a god, Shiro's strength wasn't just improved by a mere increment—it skyrocketed. His Haki also broke through to an entirely new level, matching his mastery of Conqueror's Haki. In addition, his physical techniques were refined, and his control over the seven elemental abilities became more sophisticated.

This was the power of the Godly Physique!

After regaining his peak condition, Shiro made a call using the Den Den Mushi aboard the submarine. With his current strength, even navigating the New World alone posed no threat to him. Not even the CP0 from the World Government could easily track him down. And even if they did, ordinary agents wouldn't stand a chance of surviving an encounter with him, let alone reporting back.

However, despite his increase in strength, Shiro remained cautious. The image of the Island of World Military Draft destruction was still fresh in his mind. Even now, Shiro wouldn't dare to confront that power head-on without a plan.

This meant one thing: The power of the World Government could never be taken lightly.

To prevent the World Government from concentrating its efforts on dealing with Central Authority, Shiro needed to cause enough of a stir in the New World to divert their attention. This would allow Zephyr and the others to secure all the Navy branch bases and key islands in the first half of the Grand Line.

That way, the influence of Central Authority would greatly expand, and multiple bases could be established to coexist. After all, money was not an issue for them.

This attacks were terrifying, capable of destroying an entire country in an instant. The Island of World Military Draft, once a vast landmass, was now nothing but an underwater abyss. The destruction had also consumed the surrounding waters, demonstrating the horrific power of that attack.

But Shiro was certain of one thing—whether it was Imu, the leader of the Celestial Dragons, or an ancient weapon like Uranus, there must have been strict conditions to launch such an attack. Otherwise, the Four Emperors and even the Revolutionary Army would have been wiped out long ago.

The fact that they hadn't been annihilated yet proved that it wasn't a matter of will, but capability.

Though Shiro didn't fully understand the limits, he knew it was better to be prepared!

Boobeep

Finally, after ringing for some time, the Den Den Mushi connected.

"Huh? Who would call at a time like this? Could it be an old friend?" A playful, sultry voice emerged from the receiver.

Shiro's expression twitched. This woman was as insufferable as ever!

"If you want to flirt again, Little Sadi, I don't mind," Shiro responded, his tone calm yet commanding.

There was a brief pause on the other end, followed by a slight tremor in the voice.

"Shi…Shiro! It's really you!" exclaimed Little Sadi, the a chief guard of Impel Down.

In her private quarters, Little Sadi's face flushed as her heartbeat quickened. She recognized the voice immediately. There was no mistaking it—this was Shiro. But why was Shiro, one of the most wanted criminals in the world, contacting her?

"Yes, Little Sadi. You should know what's happening by now, right?" Shiro's voice was calm, unperturbed by her reaction.

Of course, Little Sadi knew. After all, the events had been broadcasted globally. The chaos Shiro had caused was nothing short of monumental, and only a few had survived, including Blackbeard and his crew.

But now, Shiro had other plans for Impel Down. If things didn't go smoothly, he was ready to force them to.

"Gihihi, you've really stirred things up, Shiro. You made Fleet Admiral Akainu lose his temper twice in a row! He's fuming!" Little Sadi's voice was filled with schadenfreude.

However, Shiro detected something in her tone. "What do you mean? Did something happen?"

Little Sadi chuckled. "Oh, it seems you've been out of the loop for the last couple of days while you recovered."

Shiro's eyes narrowed. If neither Hancock nor Zephyr had contacted him, it meant that nothing urgent had occurred concerning Central Authority.

"Well, spit it out," Shiro said, maintaining his composure.

Little Sadi giggled again, clearly enjoying the moment. "Shiro, you're now the most notorious criminal in the world!"

"The World Government and the Navy Headquarters just issued an updated bounty for you, and guess what? It's higher than even the Revolutionary Army's leader Dragon and the Four Emperors, including Whitebeard."

Shiro's interest piqued. "Go on."

"Your bounty is now 5.36 billion Belly!"
