Chapter 978 Chaotic Battlefield
"So…what are your plans, Kira?"
Facing Gildarts' question, Kira just waved his hand with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, let's fight for a while."
As he spoke, he pointed at the Golden Lion trio not far away and said, "These things have nothing to do with us. They haven't made any moves yet. We just need to watch the show."
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing."
Erza stared at Kaido and Big Mom for a long time, then suddenly said, "When you were on Cake Island a few days ago, you seemed to have said that we would defeat them and ask the navy for money..."
Kira was silent for a moment: "...Why have you become so greedy for money now? This is not good!"
“That’s 15 billion!”
Gray and others nearby also began to agree: "Yes! That's 15 billion!!"
"Well...how about we talk to the navy?" Kira narrowed his eyes, revealing the cunning, fox-like look of a businessman as usual.
"How do you want to talk?" Lucy asked curiously.
"Let's ask the navy for money and see if they are willing to give it. If they are, we will help the navy fight the pirates; if they are not, we will just stand by and watch."
At this point, Kira suddenly had an idea, and then told everyone his plan, "Yes! We can cooperate with the navy! Just like we accept missions in the guild! The navy is very rich, they must be willing to pay us to deal with pirates! After all, we are much stronger than those Shichibukai!"
Erza's eyes flickered, as if she was eager to try: "It sounds good, but what level of commission do you plan to charge?"
“Well…”
Kira hesitated for a few seconds, then turned to look at his old friend beside him: "Gildarts, you have the most work experience among us. Among all the commissions you have received, what is the highest reward?"
Gildarts didn't expect Kira to ask him this question out of the blue, but he still thought about it seriously for a while: "Except for the special rewards for the 100-year mission... the highest reward was a 10-year mission with a reward of 50 million J!"
“Hiss——!!”×N
As soon as these words were spoken, wizards including Kira, Natsu, Stinger and others gasped.
“As expected of Gildarts!!”
"Working for 50 million J in one go... I can't even think about it..."
"This is more than the prize money for the champion of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Show!"
Erza recalled for a moment: "Come to think of it, the highest amount our team has ever received was, I think, 17 million J?"
"In my life experience, the highest amount I've ever received was only 20 million J..." Kira also began to look up at the sky and sigh, but his behavior was just Versailles in the eyes of others.
"No wonder you always go out and have fun, Gildarts. You're so rich..."
Gildarts' eyes widened instantly. "What do you mean by romantic? Don't slander me, Kira! I'm just traveling and seeing the local customs and practices of different places!"
Lucy beside her suddenly hugged Cana's arm and said, "I'm so envious of you, Cana! You should be able to inherit Gildarts's fortune in the future, right?"
"I don't want his money! I can earn it myself!" Kana burped, puffed out her chest and said proudly, "S-class wizards make money very quickly!"
"But you still owe me money..."
Kira complained silently, and the next second he was given a resentful glare by Cana.
Gildarts looked at the war on the ground and found that the navy's "admirals" had already started fighting with Whitebeard's captains. Both sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.
After watching them for a while and judging their respective strengths, he turned to Kira and said, "If you want to help the Navy, this situation is much more difficult than the usual ten-year mission. It will take at least 100 million Baileys, right?"
100 million Baileys? You are kidding!
"Gildarts, you don't know how inflation has increased the prices in this world, do you?" Kira gave Gildarts a mysterious smile, which made Gildarts look confused.
"The bounty on that guy called Whitebeard is 5.046 billion berries. The bounty on that Phoenix is 1.374 billion berries. Even Ace who is about to be executed on the stage has a bounty of 550 million berries!"
Kira pointed at the pirates fighting below, then put his arm around Gildarts' neck and said, "You just said that your lowest price is only 100 million berries?"
Gildarts was silent for a long time, then he looked up and sighed, "...I used to think I was well-informed, but now it seems that poverty has limited my imagination."
"So I think we might as well ask for 5 billion directly, and we have to pay 30% as a deposit first!"
A 30% deposit, or 1.5 billion, is a little more than the price of a royal vice-chairman, which is reasonable.
Gildarts was in a trance. "Five billion... Even a hundred-year mission might not be able to get this much reward, right? This world is really amazing!!"
After the two chatted for a while, Kira suddenly found that the surroundings had become quiet.
Turning around, he realized that the people who were clamoring to save Ace had joined the war below without him knowing when: the five strongest fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luzo, San and Fobu had already been eliminated, leaving only the cowardly trio of Usopp, Nami and Chopper; only Law left from the Heart Pirates, leaving two people and a bear; only the Joker Pirates were still intact, and no one was eliminated.
"Aren't you going to save Ace?" Kira looked at Buggy, wondering why he was still here.
Buggy lay trembling on the side of the boat, staring at the war below with fear in his eyes: "That's what I said, but the kind of battle down there is not something I can interfere with!!"
Kira glanced and found that Mr. 3 had not gone down either. He didn't know if Ace's handcuffs could still be opened.
On the battlefield, the Whitebeard Pirates and the three admirals were fighting fiercely, while Garp and Sengoku were facing the three heroes: Golden Lion, Kaido, and Big Mom. The two sides are still in a stalemate. Although they haven't started fighting yet, it is estimated that it will start soon.
The current situation is that Whitebeard intends to break through the navy's defense line as quickly as possible to rescue Ace, while the three Golden Lions next to him ignore them.
When facing the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy had to defend themselves and annihilate the pirates. When facing the three Golden Lions, they had to conserve their strength and delay time. The fight was extremely frustrating.
The three Golden Lions were the happiest, chatting and laughing with Sengoku Garp, and Kaido even drank some wine to cheer them up. Their goal was to wait until the navy and Whitebeard were both defeated, and then attack together to reap the benefits;
It is worth mentioning that because Impel was placed in the square by the Golden Lion, the criminals who were originally imprisoned in the prison also began to take action. They are mainly divided into the following categories:
First of all, there were those who took the initiative to join the battle. Except for Jinbei who supported Whitebeard, most of them were on the side of chaotic evil.
For example, "World Destroyer" Bondi Waldo, "Demon Heir" Douglas Barrett, these people did not fight with all their strength, but their stance was wavering, attacking both the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, and occasionally fighting with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, causing great trouble to everyone;
The second group is the spectators, such as the "King of Evil Government", "Giant Battleship", "Big Barrel" and other people who joined the Blackbeard Pirates in the original plot. They neither fight the navy nor the pirates, but just stand in the corner, occasionally chatting with the Seven Warlords, waiting for the changes in the future;
The third type is those who tried to escape but failed, and were forced into the war. They were confused and didn't know what to do. Finally, influenced by the surrounding environment, they began to indulge in killing. Most of these people are Level 1 to Level 5 pirates.
The fourth type is the New Demon Revolutionary Army headed by Ivankov. Originally, he did not want to leave Impel so soon, but the actions of the three Golden Lions disrupted his plan and forced him to come out with his men. Now these people have formed a force and are leading more people who want freedom to escape from the battlefield.
On the battlefield, Whitebeard vs. Akainu, Kizaru vs. Marco, Aokiji vs. Bondi, Hawkeye vs. Rain Shiryu, Rayleigh vs. Barrett, Ivankov vs. Kuma, Doflamingo vs. Jozu, Jinbe vs. Crocodile, Moriah vs. Vista...
Luffy rushed forward, followed by Zoro, Sanji, Franky, and Brook, fending off sneak attacks from the navy and unknown criminals.
The whole scene was extremely chaotic!
The extremely chaotic war at the top was broadcast live to every corner of the world via Den Den Mushi.
People all over the world stopped what they were doing, held their breath, stared at the scene in front of them with their eyes wide open, and even forgot the time...
