100: Chapter 96 immediately updated their bounty poster. The most wanted notice was issued.

Marineford, New Marineford.

Fleet Admiral's office.

"Bang!"

A desk made of Sea Stone mixed with a special alloy was smashed into two pieces by a fist wreathed in dark red magma.

Scorching magma dripped onto the floor, emitting a "hissing" sound of corrosion.

The air in the office was so hot that it made it impossible to breathe.

"Fujitora!"

"Issho!"

Sakazuki, the Fleet Admiral Akainu, was currently roaring at a Den Den Mushi.

His naturally stern face was twisted in extreme rage, the veins on his forehead bulging like volcanic lava about to erupt.

"Do you have any idea what you are doing?"

"An Admiral! In front of the whole world! Kneeling before the king of a country!"

"Where have you thrown the face of the Marine! And the dignity of the World Government!"

From the other end of the Den Den Mushi came Fujitora's calm, deep voice.

"I only did what I believed to be right."

"Right?!"

Sakazuki's fury erupted once again.

"Is your 'right' to let the whole world laugh at us Marines?!"

"To let everyone know that we couldn't even handle one Shichibukai, and in the end, we had to rely on a bunch of pirates to clean up the mess?!"

"If face is more important than the lives of the citizens, then such face is not worth having."

"You—!!"

Sakazuki was so angry he couldn't speak, his fists clenching and rattling.

Beside him, a Marine Vice Admiral tremblingly handed over a latest report, not daring to even lift his head.

"Fleet Admiral... this is the detailed report of the Dressrosa incident... and... and the video data sent back by CP0..."

Sakazuki snatched the report.

When he saw the words "Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and Revolutionary Army Sabo joined forces to defeat the Donquixote Family" on the report, his eye twitched violently.

It was Straw Hat again!

It was Fire Fist again!

The humiliation of the Marineford War two years ago seemed to come rushing back.

And when he opened the video data and saw Karl's figure appear in the Coliseum, casually forcing Doflamingo back, and finally leaving while carrying his three nephews—the magma on Sakazuki's body lost control.

"Boom!"

Dark red magma erupted from behind him, burning a huge hole in the wall of the Fleet Admiral's office.

"Ka—rl!!"

He roared the name, word by word, into the Den Den Mushi.

"Fujitora! Karl was also in Dressrosa! Why didn't you report this to me?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Fleet Admiral, do you think that with my strength, I could have stopped him?"

One sentence left Sakazuki speechless again.

That's right.

Stop Karl?

That man was the only existence who, after defecting from the Marines, still made the World Government choose to "ignore" him.

In the current Marineford, who else would dare to stand up and stop Karl?

But even so, he couldn't swallow this bitter pill!

"I don't care!!"

Sakazuki roared at the Den Den Mushi.

"Fujitora! I order you to immediately arrest Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and Revolutionary Army Sabo!!"

"They are pirates! They are criminals! The incident in Dressrosa cannot be an excuse for them to do whatever they want!!"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Fujitora's voice remained calm.

"I cannot comply."

After saying that, Fujitora hung up the Den Den Mushi directly.

"Click."

Sakazuki's hand gripping the Den Den Mushi receiver tightened suddenly.

The black Den Den Mushi let out a mournful cry and was crushed into pieces by him.

"Fine..."

"A fine Fujitora..."

Sakazuki was shaking with anger, and the magma in the office churned wildly.

He turned around abruptly and roared at the outside of the office.

"Someone come here!!"

"Pass on my order immediately!!"

"Issue a maximum-level wanted notice! List Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and Revolutionary Army Sabo as criminals of the highest order!!"

The alarm in the Fleet Admiral's office echoed through the corridor.

Two Marine Rear Admirals responsible for conveying orders stood outside the door, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.

Dark red magma seeped through the cracks in the door, melting a large hole in the threshold made of pure steel.

A scorching wave of air, mixed with a pungent smell of sulfur, rushed towards them.

"Boom!"

Half of the door flew outward and slammed into the corridor wall.

Sakazuki stood in the center of the ruins.

His right arm was completely elementalized, and magma dripped onto the floor tiles, burning deep pits into them.

"Trash! All of you are trash!!"

He gritted his teeth, the words squeezed out from between them.

"Donquixote Doflamingo defeated! Fujitora kneeling to apologize! Such things that disgrace the Marines spread across the sea even faster than our official reports!!"

Behind the desk, Great Staff Officer Tsuru sat on an intact sofa.

She was not wearing her Marine coat, her hands folded on her lap.

"The News Coos have already flown out."

Tsuru said in a flat tone, "That guy Morgans is always faster than us."

"The broadcast Den Den Mushi worldwide were not cut off, so Fujitora's actions can be seen even in the most remote villages of the Four Blues now."

"He must face a military tribunal!!"

Sakazuki turned around abruptly, magma rolling.

"He is compromising with pirates! Bowing his head to those criminals who challenge the bottom line of the World Government!!"

"What charge do you intend to use to prosecute a newly appointed Admiral?"

Tsuru asked back.

Sakazuki was silenced.

"Dereliction of duty? Disobeying military orders?"

Tsuru shook her head, "Fujitora arrested Doflamingo."

"The evidence of the crimes committed by that Shichibukai in Dressrosa is solid, and the intelligence sent back by CP0 is something even the Gorosei cannot suppress."

"Fujitora just did what was within his duties."

"As for kneeling..."

She paused for a moment.

"Sakazuki, you need to face reality."

"Compared to the humiliation brought by Fujitora kneeling, the presence of another person makes you feel even more frustrated, doesn't it?"

The magma on Sakazuki's right arm surged, burning through the ceiling above his head.

"Karl."

As soon as this name was mentioned, even the Marine generals eavesdropping outside the corridor shivered in unison.

Tsuru picked up an intelligence file on the coffee table.

It contained a few blurry photos that CP0 had risked their lives to send back.

The first one showed Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and Revolutionary Army Sabo joining forces, their giant fists shattering the palace.

The second one showed Karl wearing a floral shirt, sitting in the VIP stand of the Coliseum, crossing his legs and eating popcorn.

"He didn't make a move, didn't transform from start to finish."

Tsuru looked at the photos, "If Fujitora had chosen to make a move to arrest Luffy and the others at that time, do you think New Marineford would still be able to receive Fujitora's report today?"

The muscles in Sakazuki's face twitched.

He wanted to refute.

He wanted to roar that the absolute justice of the Marines would never bow to anyone.

But he couldn't forget the scene from the Marineford War two years ago.

That man was holding a belt, whipping Garp in the Marineford plaza until Garp didn't dare to fight back, whipping Whitebeard until he laughed, and whipping him, Sakazuki, so hard that he couldn't even fire off a single Hellhound.

"These three pirates must die."

Sakazuki retracted the magma.

He walked to the broken window and looked at the warships docked outside.

"Straw Hat Luffy. Fire Fist Ace. Dragon's Claw Sabo."

"Update their bounties immediately."

"Issue a maximum wanted notice."

Tsuru stood up.

"How much should the bounty be?"

"Straw Hat Luffy, 700 million Berries. Dragon's Claw Sabo, 1 billion Berries."

Sakazuki said coldly, "As for Fire Fist Ace... he survived the Marineford War, and now he has shown enough combat power to defeat a Shichibukai."

He turned his head back.

"1 billion Berries."

"Engrave these three names at the very top of the list of the worst criminals for me."
