Chaptre 23: Bounty

[Mary Geoise]

In the middle of a luxurious royally embroidered room, several people dressed as scientists sat in a row, expressions of fear and tension filled their faces, in front of them sat an old man.

"Are you telling me that you have not received any results from your experiments that have lasted for more than a year?"

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's gazes were like knives while his angry voice was like thunder in the ears of the seekers.

The man standing in front of them is the highest authority in this world and one word from him is enough for them to taste the most severe torment,

"Talk, did the cat eat your tongues! You got everything just to be able to imitate that kid's healing ability, but you didn't get anything and the worst thing is that you let him run away, not realizing the value of that person"

Saint Saturn continued to talk, Arthur has been a very valuable specimen for them, but he is lost from their hands now and they have to get him back.

One of the scientists raised his hand, which was trembling insanely, his head was pointed down and there were some signs of sweat on his forehead, they were allowed to talk only after obtaining permission.

"Do you have something to say about your failure?"

"Saint Saturn Sama, we did all kinds of experiments on the sample you sent us, but no matter what we did, we couldn't figure out the reason for his amazing ability. his body is very normal and there's nothing special about him"

The researcher's voice was low and full of doubts, he himself could not believe that they had not obtained any result even though they had conducted hundreds of experiments on Arthur.

"What do you mean by this!" Saturn looked at the group of scientists in front of him with strange glances, although he is angry about what is happening, but he is aware that the scientists in front of him are considered the best in the world after Dr.Vegapunk and some other scientists such as Caesar Clown and Vinsmoke Judge.

Another researcher stood up and spoke, saying:

"The body of the sample was very much normal, and this is the strange thing, if we hadn't seen his amazing healing ability with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it, the only thing we could conclude was that the magnetic field of his body sometimes changes, as if there was some kind of energy surrounding him, We worked on studying this change for several months, but it was useless, besides, this magnetic field rarely appears"

The researcher's voice was filled with passion and admiration, mysterious and unknown objects have been attracting scientists with a desire to study them and find out their causes.

"Now go away, I'll work on returning the experimental sample" Saturn kicked the researchers out of the room, not wanting to hear more of their useless speech.

'We have to get that boy back any way we can' Saint Saturn stood up and called out to one of the Knights standing near the door.

"Call Morgans" after Saint Saturn ordered the guard left the room and headed towards the throne room.

...…..

[Sabaody Archipelago]

'What happened!' with a slight trembling of his eyelids Arthur opened his eyes, his vision was blurry and confused, he could not see clearly until several minutes later.

When Arthur regained his clarity he was surrounded by darkness and all he could see were some small cracks passing light.

'Where am I' Arthur wanted to move but found himself stuck in a very small place and could only move with great difficulty, after some suffering he moved his hand and pushed the roof that was touching his head.

Open Up!

After Arthur put some strength into his wound-filled hand, the hood-like Roof opened, the annoying sunlight leaked out and made Arthur's vision become a bit blurry Arthur hated light so much because it represented pain for him.

Arthur stuck out his head and looked at his surroundings, but his features immediately changed to some panic when he found himself in a large forest surrounded by a giant tree with the number 16 written on it, there were large human-sized bubbles floating everywhere.

'Sabaody Archipelago!' This land was familiar so Arthur recognised it immediately, Arthur started turning his head and checking his surroundings madly, as he did so he discovered he was stuck in something that looked like a giant basket being carried by someone.

But he could not see the person carrying him because of his giant back, which is covered by a strange robe, all this made him raise his guard to the maximum and prepare for the worst.

Suddenly the person carrying Arthur stopped in front of a small pillar, he began to contemplate the pillar, the Yujin's body was giant so Arthur couldn't figure out what he was doing.

"You are an interesting boy" the Yujin spoke in a low voice, addressing Arthur as he removed a large sheet hanging on the pole.

Arthur did not answer him and continued to remain silent.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you" the Yujin turned his head back and threw the paper to Arthur, Arthur was confused about what was going on but he didn't do anything or rather couldn't, his body was worn out and all he can do now is move only a little so there is no hope for him to escape or fight.

Arthur grabbed the paper and began to read it, when he saw what was in the paper, his body hair stood up and his eyes turned to horror and then coldness as he began to stare at the back of the Yujin he was holding.

The paper he passed to him was a bounty that was put on his head, he wrote on the bounty:

Wanted only alive

Name: The Demonic child

Bounty: 500 million Belly

Arthur's reward was so high that he was shocked, the government was risking putting a bounty on his head, this would make many people wonder about the secret of this bounty.

...

Amid the treacherous sea swam a huge ship in front of which a symbol of a smiling white whale, on the deck of which the Whitebeard sat proudly on his chair while holding the newspaper in his hand and his face full of expressions of bewilderment.

"Is there something wrong, Oyaji?" When Marco noticed the signs of bewilderment in the face of the Whitebeard, he asked with curiosity, his father rarely makes such an expression.

When the Whitebeard heard Marco's question he simply threw the newspaper to him and said nothing, Marco grabbed the newspaper and began to read the article written in it, every now and then turning his gaze towards the Whitebeard, the more he read the more puzzled he felt, in the end he put the newspaper aside.

"Who is this person!" Marco sighed while asking.

"No one knows, but all I know is that the world government will not issue such a reward unless there is a reason for it, obviously what was written there is just nonsense"

Whitebeard looked at the sea in front of him and there is a resolute look in his eyes.

Seagulls flew and newspapers were published all over the world, bewilderment and fear filled the hearts of the common people while curiosity and surprise were the expressions of all the Pirates of the world.

"World Government, what game are they playing now!" Don Quichotte DoFlamingo sat proudly while holding the newspaper in his hand, there was a broad smile on his face.

Doflamingo used to be a person who knew about the suspicious movements of the world government, but almost a year ago the news about him was cut off and his spy in Mary Geoise stopped sending him information.

Rebellious Dragon

Kaidou The King Of Beasts

Dracule Mihawk The Strongest Swordsman In The World

All the world's Pirates and important personalities have looked at the picture of the little boy in the newspaper and they want to etch the details of his face into their memory.

The newspaper stated:

The demonic child strikes again after betraying his village and selling it to Pirates to be plundered and kill the inhabitants, betrayed the Pirates and reported them to the Navy in order to secure a safe place for himself as an assistant to the government in law enforcement.

But these crimes were not enough after he claimed innocence and joined the Marine as an apprentice who assassinated his commander and stole some important information.

The newspaper was full of dozens of crimes that were fabricated for Arthur the crimes were diverse and targeted several people from Pirates to Marines and the general public.

The goal of the article was to make Arthur a person hated by the inhabitants of this world so that he would not get any help.

"Demonic child" the word that echoed in the mind of every inhabitant of this world heralded the beginning of a new era that will change everything.
