For years, the Navy has hunted pirates and criminals without any fear. It received many perks because of its affiliation with the World Government. The Navy assigned bounties to pirates and other criminals, making them targets for the rest of the world. Bounty hunters, common folks, and even other criminals tried their luck at capturing those with high bounties. This policy has served the Navy nicely, but it seems that their advantage has finally ended with the emergence of the Cross Guild.
