Chapter 35: The First Ss-Level Lottery

"Those incompetent fools actually let those lowly pirates steal the heavenly gold," roared the blond Five Elder in the holy land of Mary Geoise. "This is an insult to the world!"

"I propose we dispatch an Admiral immediately to execute the entire Gangplank Pirates!"

In the holy land of Mary Geoise, the blond Five Elder was furious upon learning that the heavenly gold from several kingdoms in the West Blue had been stolen.

Over the years, only Rocks and Doflamingo had dared to loot the heavenly gold. Gangplank was the first pirate since them to successfully rob the heavenly gold.

"Kizaru is busy with the scientific force and protecting the Holy Land. Aokiji and Akainu are also preoccupied with suppressing the big pirates in the New World," said the Curly Hair Five Elder in a low voice.

"Those troublemakers in the New World are causing problems again. It will be difficult to get them out of there for a while."

"Then what about that pirate?" retorted the bearded Five Elder. "We must respond to this immediately! The majesty of the World Government must not be offended. God's order is absolute!"

"It's just some stolen heavenly gold. This won't shake God's order," said the slightly bald Five Elder. "Just increase the bounty and have the Navy Headquarters and CP agents vigorously pursue them!"

"The real problem is the Revolutionary Army," continued the slightly bald Five Elder. "They recently overthrew another kingdom!"

"Another kingdom overthrown?" The bald Five Elder, who held the First Generation Kitetsu, flashed a sharp look in his eyes, filled with endless killing intent. "Those damn D's. We should have eradicated them all in the past!"

The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, and the D family have always been the natural enemies of the Celestial Dragons. The news of Gangplank robbing the heavenly gold soon spread worldwide!

Under the World Government's orders, the Navy Headquarters sent elite Vice Admirals Dauberman and Maynard, and quickly dispatched Admiral Tea Dolphin as backup to pursue Gangplank.

Planck's bounty soared to 470 million berries. Gragas, responsible for defeating Vice Admiral Joseph, had his bounty increased to 130 million berries.

The bounties of other Gangplank Pirates cadres also saw significant increases.

Even before reaching the Grand Line, they had bounties worth hundreds of millions. Planck was no longer considered a supernova but a true big pirate.

The challenge was to survive the World Government and Navy Headquarters' relentless pursuit.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Steal the heavenly gold? This sea is getting more and more interesting!" laughed Doflamingo eerily at Dressrosa. He thrived on chaos!

Jinbei frowned at Gangplank's high bounty. The Gangplank Pirates would have to pass through Fish-Man Island to enter the New World, posing a significant threat to the island.

"Chihehehe, his shadow will make a powerful zombie!" Gekko Moria on the Thriller Bark muttered, holding Gangplank's latest bounty.

"Kaido, wait for me until I gather a powerful zombie army. I will definitely take revenge on you!"

Empress Hancock's eyes lit up briefly upon seeing the news of Gangplank plundering the heavenly gold, but she tossed his bounty poster aside.

Only actions against the Celestial Dragons would gain her favor.

Meanwhile, Bartholomew Kuma and Crocodile continued with their own plans, briefly glancing at Plank's information before dismissing it.

Mihawk, as always, remained indifferent to these lesser concerns.

"How many times can a great pirate with a bounty of 470 million be underestimated? The bounties offered by the Seven Warlords of the Sea are never a true measure of their strength! Well, probably except for Moria, who was hit hard and turned into a weakling."

"Well, well, well, plunder the heavenly gold? What a bold newcomer, I like it!" Big Mom said excitedly while eating mousse cake.

"Go hand out tea party invitations to him. If he can become part of my family, that would be great! The wedding cake is going to be delicious!"

Big Mom licked her tongue, and saliva began to drip from the corners of her mouth.

Big Mom wanted to recruit the Gangplank Pirates, and the other Four Emperors also expressed interest in Gangplank.

No Four Emperors would dislike having more powerful cadres under their command. The Four Emperors' crews constantly need new blood, especially super newcomers like Gangplank.

As for the World Government's hostility? Recruiting Gangplank would not change the World Government's animosity toward the Four Emperors. The New World is not the World Government's domain!

Gangplank, who successfully robbed the heavenly gold, suddenly became the focus of the entire world!

Meanwhile, on Valoran Island, Duke looked at the skyrocketing wealth value on his system panel, his eyes shining!

[Recharge 44.2 billion wealth value, Host's current wealth value is 44.65 billion. Up to 20 billion wealth values ​​can be consumed for SS-level draws! SS-level lottery, guaranteed to win S-level prizes]

"Hey, we can do the SS-level lottery now," Duke mused. "But shouldn't the SS-level lottery consume 10 billion worth of wealth? How did it become 20 billion...

If the SS-level lottery requires 20 billion wealth values, how much will the SSS-level lottery cost? Two hundred billion? Four hundred billion? Or higher? Who can afford this?"

Duke looked at the system's prompts, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He was vigorously developing lottery stores and monopoly projects such as water and electricity, which could bring him billions in revenue every month! But this was just revenue, not net profit.

It was impossible for Duke to use all the income to top up. The construction of ever-expanding water and electricity factories and workers' wages were all significant expenses!

Even on Blue Star, which had highly developed productivity in his previous life, only a few companies worldwide had a net profit of over 100 billion a year! Looking at the world of pirates, Duke was even more confident! Apart from the World Government's heavenly gold, the only one with an annual income of hundreds of billions was the Gold Emperor Tezzolo! After all, with the golden fruit and the lucky fruit, it's hard not to get rich!

The total heavenly gold from the several kingdoms of West Blue that Gangplank robbed was only 14.3 billion, leaving a wealth value of nearly 30 billion.

It all came from hundreds of years of savings from the Eight Treasures Navy! Well, the Eight Treasures Navy was simply a goldmine.

Duke silently gave the Eight Treasures Navy a thumbs up. The Eight Treasures Navy called themselves Marines, but they were actually pirates.

Duke didn't feel any psychological burden at all when robbing pirates of their money!

The SS-level lottery turning into 20 billion made Duke
