46. Reactions to Ron’s Bounty around the world.

│3rd Person Omniscient POV│

As Ron and Ace commenced special training under Thatch's guidance, the Moby-Dick was rapidly heading towards Beehive Island.

However, the world was in an uproar at this moment.

The first shocking matter was that Whitebeard and Kaido had joined forces to destroy the G5 base, completely shattering the Marines' hopes and possibilities of further expanding its power in the New World.

The second matter was that Kaido defeated the former Marine Admiral Zephyr, in a one-on-one fight.

This news elicited cheers from countless pirates, but most of the common people of the world were disappointed with the Marines.

After all, Zephyr, a former Marine Admiral, was directly defeated by Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and allowed him to destroy the Marine Base.

This indicated that the Marines were not strong enough to do anything to the Four Emperors.

The third matter was the information about Ron; the one who was being portrayed as Whitebeard's heir.

A super supernova who received a bounty of 300 million Berries just after his debut.

Suddenly, Ron's Bounty Poster appeared on the desktops of various powers around the world.

"Mamamamama~!!"

Charlotte Linlin looked at the bounty in front of her with a strange expression, mostly filled with ridicule, disbelief, and amusement.

"Whitebeard actually chose an heir. And he's a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user too like that brat Kaido. Invincible at the same level? Those Marines guys really know how to exaggerate."

At this moment, Charlotte Katakuri, Linlin's second child and strongest child, spoke up, "Mom, this must be the Marines' scheme of killing someone with a borrowed weapon!"

After thinking for a second, he added, "This guy named Ron indeed has potential. Those who can awaken the Conqueror's Haki are not weak.

"Besides, as a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, his upper limit will be very high. There is indeed the possibility of him reaching the level of Four Emperors in the future.

"In addition, Whitebeard recognized him as the heir, which probably made the Marines extremely wary of him.

"However, they don't dare to risk offending Whitebeard by attacking or assassinating him. So, they issued such a reward order to let others kill him."

Perospero and others on the side nodded in agreement.

As Katakuri pointed out, although this incident was shocking, the Marines' purpose could be discerned through rational analysis.

Ultimately, this was a conspiracy by the Marines with the goal of allowing those who didn't want to see Ron rise to take action and eliminate him, thereby diverting the anger and murderous intent of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Mom!!"

Cracker hesitated and said, "Since this person is Whitebeard's heir, isn't he very dangerous? Do you want us to take action and eliminate him?"

At this point, Smoothie and others on the side couldn't help but twitch their mouths. Despite the discussion about the Marines' conspiracy, Cracker was suggesting to kill Ron.

"No need to do anything!"

While dismissing the suggestion with a wave of her hands, Big Mom looked at Cracker with an unbelieving gaze.

If he wasn't her son or even one of the Sweet Commanders, she might have had the urge to beat such a foolish person to death.

Immediately afterward, Big Mom said, "However, we have to pay attention to this guy. Someone recognized by Whitebeard and declared the heir so early must have a big secret within him.

"Katakuri, pass on the order. If the Big Mom Pirates encounter this guy, invite him to visit Totto Land as a guest. I am also very curious about this guy's abilities and want to see it myself."

"Yes, Mom!" Hearing this, Katakuri immediately responded.

The surrounding members of the Charlotte family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Big Mom said she would not take action against him, that was the best news for them.

[Grand Line, New World, Undisclosed Island…]

"Three hundred million Berries! Whitebeard's heir!?"

Shanks looked at the reward notice for Ron in front of him, his expression solemn.

Right now, Luffy would be about fourteen or fifteen years old and would only be starting his journey as a Pirate about two years later.

But Ron, who was about the same age as Luffy or even slightly younger, had now been recognized by Whitebeard as his heir.

"Boss, the existence of this brat has made some things troublesome! Does it need to be sorted out?"

Beckman spoke quietly.

As one of the smartest people in the One Piece world, Beckman was able to see the implications that this incident would have on their future plans.

The Whitebeard Pirates themselves are already at the end of their rope, and in their opinion, it won't take many years for Whitebeard to be completely unable to hold on.

Even if they didn't collapse, they had made other preparations.

For example, Ace joining the Whitebeard Pirates was somewhat outstretched by them.

Although this would not enable them to have full control over the Whitebeard Pirates, there was no doubt that Ace's presence in the Whitebeard Pirates was beneficial to them.

Even if he didn't care about the Red Hair Pirates, as Luffy's brother, Ace would definitely help when Luffy enters the New World and encounters some insurmountable difficulties.

"Why? This little guy is only fourteen years old, about the same age as Luffy. At the moment, he is not a threat at all."

Lucky Roux disagreed with Beckman's suggestion.

As soon as these words came out, many of the other Senior Officers of the Red Hair Pirates nodded.

Not everyone among the Senior Officers knew all about Shanks' future plans.

Although they all felt that Ron may not be weak in the future, they didn't think that there was a need to take action right now.

"There's no need to do anything."

After the Senior Officers members expressed their own opinions, Shanks slowly raised his head and said, "Although with Ron's existence, there's no possibility of Ace taking over the Whitebeard Pirates in the future, it wouldn't have that much effect on our plans.

"Beckman, have him watched closely from now on. Anything unexpected happens, I want to know about it right away, alright?"

"Yes!"

Beckman nodded and raised the corners of his mouth. He was satisfied with Shanks' decision.

He immediately walked aside and picked up a Den-Den-Mushi to contact some people.

[Unknown location…]

"Whitebeard's heir!? So he is losing his edge, huh?"

In a dark throne room, an obscure figure sitting on the throne was looking at Ron's Bounty Poster with a bloodthirsty grin.

He took out a Den Den Mushi to make a call.

After the call connected, he said, "Put a bounty of One Billion Berries on Ron, the brat that was recently chosen by Whitebeard to be his heir."

"I understand!"

Kacha—

"Things are getting really interesting! Hehehehehe Hehahahaha~!!"
