However, at that moment, Sengoku suddenly seemed to remember something of utmost importance. He frowned, thought for a moment, and then reached out and picked up the slightly worn Den Den Mushi from the table again.

After skillfully dialing the number, the deep and authoritative voices of the Five Elders quickly came from the other end of the line.

"Lord Five Elders, regarding Luo Tian's bounty..."

Zhan Guo asked, his tone tinged with doubt and uncertainty.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then one of the Five Elders slowly spoke:

"Yes, after our discussion, we have decided to increase the bounty on Luo Tian. Not only that, the bounties for Luo Tian and his gang will also be increased."

Zhan Guo's heart tightened, and he quickly pressed for the specific number.

The answer he received made him gasp – Luo Tian's bounty was increased to 35 billion Berries, regardless of whether he lived or died!

This astonishing number put immense pressure on the Warring States period.

After the Five Elders finished speaking, they hung up the phone without any hesitation.

Sengoku was left alone, clutching the Den Den Mushi that was already emitting a busy tone, his face full of worry.

He couldn't help but rub his temples, inwardly groaning.

The dilemma of increasing Luo Tian's group's bounty while simultaneously trying to block news from Enies Lobby to prevent unnecessary panic and chaos is truly a headache.

Sengoku sighed helplessly, thinking that once the bounty was issued, the whole world would probably be in an uproar.

People are certainly curious about what earth-shattering things Luo Tian did to warrant such a high bounty from the Navy.

However, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: if Luo Tian's bounty reached 35 billion Berries, it would be almost on par with Yonko-level pirates like Whitebeard! So, what exactly are the Five Elders trying to achieve by doing this? Do they have a deeper plan or consideration?

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo felt his head throbbing with increasing pain.

Forget it, let's not bother trying to figure out what those higher-ups are thinking. Just follow orders strictly.

After all, although Sengoku had become the Fleet Admiral, as a naval officer, obeying orders from superiors was always his primary duty.

So, Zhan Guo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to arrange various matters related to increasing the bounty on Luo Tian and his group and blocking the news.

The Five Elders were secretly plotting to elevate Luo Tian's status to a remarkable level.

In this way, his every move will become the focus of everyone's attention.

This would not only allow the World Government to breathe a sigh of relief, freeing up some of its precious energy from its close surveillance of Luo Tian to deal with other more pressing matters; at the same time, as Luo Tian's status and position rise, those forces lurking in the shadows, coveting the power and resources he possesses, would inevitably be unable to restrain themselves and would take the initiative to come to him.

At that time, the intricate struggles and entanglements between various forces will unfold like a tangled mess, while the World Government can remain behind the scenes, quietly observing the development of the situation and waiting for the right opportunity to act.

Before long, Luo Tian and his group had completed their new bounty posters and began distributing them around the world.

Luo Tian and his group returned to the small island where they had previously resupplyed.

This island is the very place where Robin left.

Luo Tian left his mark here before leaving, in case anything unexpected happened.

Luo Tian immediately made a decision—to hold a grand banquet to formally welcome Robin's return.

The news caused great excitement among the people.

"Yay! Let's make something delicious for Sister Robin."

After Anna Angela finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to prepare.

Dan was also very happy and went to the warehouse to get the wine. Hawkeye quickly followed, intending to take a few more bottles of red wine to taste this time.

For them, being able to reunite and celebrate this moment together is an incredibly happy thing.

Upon hearing this, Robin simply smiled, her beautiful face radiating tenderness and joy.

Although she appeared relatively calm, she was also filled with anticipation for the gathering.

Yamato then ran up to Robin and started scolding her.

"Robin! Don't run around anymore! Do you hear me? Even if the sky really falls, we're still here! If we really can't beat them, we can just run away. If we can't even run away, we can just throw Luo Tian out as a shield."

As Yamato spoke, a sly smile appeared on his face.

Enel, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly in agreement:

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it. Although I am also a dignified god, if it really comes to a critical moment, abandoning Captain Luo Tian is absolutely no problem. Anyway, with his abilities, he will definitely be able to return safely."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Luo Tian flew into a rage, lunging forward and delivering a heavy punch to the head of both Yamato and Enel.

"You two! How dare you conspire to abandon me! And you say it with such self-righteousness! Let me tell you, even if we're going to run away, I'll be the one to take you with me!"

Luo Tian glared angrily and roared.

For a moment, the three of them argued back and forth, each trying to outdo the other, until their faces turned red with anger.

Just then, Robin, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand to avoid laughing too loudly.

Then, addressing Yamato and Enel, who were still arguing, he said:

"You guys go ahead with your work, I'll go help Anna and Angie first."

After saying that, Robin turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Time flies, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, Dan strolled leisurely toward the deck as usual.

When he stepped onto the deck, he was surprised to find Robin already standing there.

Good morning, Robin!

Dan greeted her with a smile.

Robin responded with a smile:

Good morning, Dan.

After exchanging a smile, the two walked together to the side of the boat to wait for the newsbirds to arrive.

Dan skillfully bought a newspaper, handed one to Robin, and then unfolded his own newspaper to begin reading.

They carefully browsed every news item in the newspaper, hoping to find something interesting or important.

However, to their surprise, there was no news about the Enies Lobby incident.

"That's strange, how come there's not a single word about something this big?"

Dan frowned and said in confusion.

After a moment of contemplation, Robin replied:

"Perhaps the government intentionally suppressed this news. After all, this incident is not something they are proud of."

Just then, Dan suddenly noticed the wanted poster in the corner of the newspaper.

He looked closely and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Look, Robin! Our bounty poster has changed!"

Dan excitedly pointed at the newspaper and shouted.

Robin quickly checked and, sure enough, saw that their respective bounties had increased significantly.

"I didn't expect our bounty to increase so much."

Robin said, somewhat surprised.
