Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Chapter 300 Only One King in the Worst Generation

A brief silence fell over the tavern, with only the wisps of smoke from Xia Qi's cigarette drifting slowly in the air.

Luffy's plan to kidnap a Celestial Dragon was so groundbreaking that it takes time to process.

“This matter is extremely important. If you really want to do this, I suggest you find Rayleigh first and discuss it with him. He knows the World Government much better than I do,” Shakky advised.

"Well, this is the general direction of the plan."

Luffy broke the silence, standing up and saying, "We'll discuss the specifics after we find Rayleigh. Aunt Shakky, do you know where we're most likely to find him?"

"My husband's whereabouts are always unknown."

Xia Qi shrugged, giving me a helpless look: "Right now he might have lost everything in some casino in the lawless zone, or he might be drunk as a log in some bar, or he might be staying at the place of some woman he's with."

Once he leaves home, he often disappears for months at a time; that's just the nature of pirates, I suppose.

"Haha, that's really true."

Luffy laughed heartily, sharing the sentiment.

This perfectly matches his ideal image of a free-spirited and unrestrained vice-captain of the Pirate King.

Before his laughter had even subsided, he felt a sudden weight on both shoulders.

Nami and Robin each put one hand on his shoulder with a smile, but with considerable force.

Weiwei, sitting not far away, was also quietly watching him with a gentle smile that sent chills down his spine.

Luffy's laughter stopped abruptly, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xia Qi took in the whole scene, couldn't help but chuckle, and shook her head.

It's true that everything has its counter.

Shakky took a deep drag of her cigarette, her eyes glancing mischievously at Luffy's left and right. "However, with so many of you, especially a few beautiful ladies, you'd better be careful going to those mixed-up places. The Sabaody Archipelago isn't peaceful this year; too many Supernovas have arrived."

Vivi had noticed the word "supernova" being mentioned repeatedly since the beginning, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Xia Qi, what do you mean by supernova?"

"Oh? You guys didn't know?"

Xia Qi was somewhat surprised, then nodded knowingly and said, "No wonder, so many things have happened so soon after you formed your pirate crew."

So Xia Qi began to explain.

The term "supernova" refers to a rookie pirate whose bounty exceeds 100 million Berries within a year of entering the Grand Line.

It's important to know that a bounty exceeding 100 million is enough to be considered a great pirate. Many pirates struggle to reach a bounty of 100 million in their entire lives, let alone someone who reaches a bounty of 100 million within a year of entering the Grand Line. They must have done something quite sensational.

These elites, who have fought their way out from thousands of pirates, are the focus of attention every year.

"There are seven routes from the four seas into the Grand Line, but all pirates who want to go to the New World eventually converge at the Sabaody Archipelago to coat their ships before heading to Fish-Man Island. Generally speaking, pirates who successfully reach this island with a bounty of over 100 million are called the Supernovas of that year, and are considered to be the most promising rookie kings among pirates."

Shakky's gaze swept over Luffy and his crew, and she said with a hint of amusement, "And among your Straw Hat crew, apart from Vivi who has a bounty of 500 million due to special circumstances, there are four others with bounties over 100 million."

"Huh?! Four people?"

Nami belatedly pointed to herself, "I think so too?"

She remembered that her bounty had somehow exceeded 100 million.

Vivi was a little embarrassed, but she was indeed a special bounty holder, and a princess of a country after all.

Robin held his teacup, took an elegant sip, and chuckled, "By that standard, it seems I am too."

Shakky nodded firmly and said, "That's right. Monkey D. Luffy, 660 million Berries; Roronoa Zoro, 150 million Berries; Nico Robin, 140 million Berries; and you, Nami the Cat Burglar, 100 million Berries. If you include Vivi's special bounty of 500 million Berries, your ship has five people with bounties over 100 million Berries, which is extremely rare on the entire sea."

On one ship, there are five individuals with bounties exceeding 100 million.

To be honest, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Generally speaking, there is a distinction between officers and non-officers in a pirate crew. A bounty of over 100 million means that the crew is basically made up of officers. The Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, has this configuration. No wonder many people regard the Straw Hat crew as the second Red-Haired Pirates.

“Supernovas are always in the spotlight,” Shakky said with a smile.

Hearing Shakky's words, Nami was completely bewildered. Her body went limp, and she almost clung to Luffy's shoulder, lamenting, "It doesn't make sense! Why am I the same? Are those Marines blind? I'm not a combatant."

"One, two, three... Wow! So many zeros! Luffy, Zoro, Robin, Nami, there really are four. No, with Vivi, that's five! Are there a lot of criminals with bounties over 100 million?"

Chopper counted on his fingers, his eyes wide with surprise.

Although there were many on the ship, Chopper still found it incredible every time he heard the specific number, as it was many, many times his own bounty!

However, Chopper's bounty could only buy two marshmallows.

Chopper didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, and then glanced at Nika.

Nika: "......."

Are you a tanuki?

"Including you guys and Bonnie, the glutton who's with you now, there are now thirteen supernovas gathered on this Sabaody Archipelago. It's an unprecedented year."

Shakky smiled, took out a well-organized list from under the bar, and pushed it in front of Luffy: "These guys are not to be underestimated. Some of them would have been big-name pirates in previous years."

"Thirteen?"

Even Luffy raised an eyebrow at this.

Shakky pointed to the list: "Besides you and Bonney, there are eight other guys on the island, belonging to seven different pirate crews. The information is fairly accurate; you can take a look and keep an eye on them."

Chopper leaned closer and stared at the list filled with bounty amounts, then gasped in disbelief: "Are there really that many criminals with bounties over a hundred million?!"

Robin picked up the list and summarized the information of the supernovas excluding themselves for everyone:

"Captain of the Drake Pirates, [Fallen Rear Admiral] Red Flag X Drake, bounty 222 million Berries."

"Captain of the Flame Tank Pirates, [Gang] Capone Bege, bounty 138 million Berries."

"Urouge, captain of the Broken Monk Pirates, with a bounty of 108 million Berries."

"Captain of the Broadcast Pirates, Scratchmen Apoo, bounty 198 million Berries."

"Captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death, with a bounty of 2 million Berries."

"Captain of the Hawkins Pirates, [Magician] Basil Hawkins, bounty 249 million Berries."

"Captain of the Kid Pirates, Eustass Kid, bounty 315 million Berries."

"And Killer, also a member of the Kid Pirates, with a bounty of 162 million Berries."

Robin paused, then added, "The list also includes some scattered information, including that a few of them are Devil Fruit users. It seems that the proportion of Supernova users this year is quite high."

In addition to basic information, the list also contains scattered information about the Devil Fruit users, such as Hawkins' Straw-Straw Fruit and Drake's Ancient Zoan type.

Shaki exhaled a smoke ring and added from the side, "It's quite rare to see so many strong newcomers gather on one island at the same time."

"They all sound like troublesome guys." Luffy wasn't very happy.

Normally, hearing about so many rivals would be something to be happy about.

But there's no time to mess around with these guys right now.

"Yes, they're all troublesome guys."

Shakky looked at Luffy, her smile carrying a deeper meaning, and said, "And Monkey, although you're also classified as a Supernova, your bounty is more than double that of the second-ranked Kid. Plus, with your previous feats of defeating Crocodile, causing havoc on Enies Lobby, and repelling Admiral Aokiji... quite a few arrogant guys have their eyes on you. They plan to use you as a stepping stone to make a name for themselves."

"Why?!"

Chopper cried out, both frightened and anxious, "We just arrived on the island and haven't done anything to them!"

"Chopper,"

Luffy grinned, a knowing look on his face. "Looking at it from another angle, if we entered the New World, wouldn't we want to challenge those high and mighty Emperors of the Sea?"

Chopper paused, then nodded instinctively: "Really?"

"That's right."

Luffy clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking. "Pirates will do anything to gain a great reputation."

Think about it carefully, if he entered the New World, he would definitely be sharpening his knives at the Four Emperors who were entrenched there.

There are few pirates on this sea who don't have their eyes on the one and only position of Pirate King.

Everyone's entering the Grand Line for the first time, how strong can you be?

Why are you the one who gets to steal the spotlight?

It's not surprising that there are so many challengers.

Xia Qi laughed and said, "So, if you want to carry out that plan quietly, you may have to deal with these potential troubles and challengers first. Lawless zones are high-risk areas for conflict."

"It's ok."

Luffy stood up and said with absolute confidence, "I won't let anyone interfere with my plans. Perfect, time to stretch my muscles!"

With the plan settled, Luffy and his crew prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Robin lagged behind, took out a bulging money bag from his pocket, gently placed it on the bar, and smiled, "Miss Shakky, this is the information fee. Thank you for the snacks and drinks, but such detailed and valuable information cannot be taken for nothing."

Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and accepted the money pouch: "Little Robin, you really are a reliable and well-mannered person."

Robin smiled, turned around, and followed the group.

Chapter 301 Uta: Damn it, Nami, you're incompetent!

Shakky exhaled a smoke ring. She had initially thought the Sabaody Archipelago would be in chaos, but now it seemed that the world would be turned upside down.

The plan is good.

People can also have courage.

However, various unexpected events may still occur unavoidably.

the most important is.

"Tyrant Bear?"
