Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 415 New Members, New Bounties, New World King!

Bucky felt somewhat helpless.

Bucky just wanted to hang Shanks up and beat him up.

However, everyone present believed that he wanted to rescue Shanks because of their childhood friendship, and they all praised his loyalty.

To avoid losing face, Bucky could only laugh wildly to hide his tears, lest he accidentally burst into tears...

"Hahaha... Yes, that's exactly what I think..."

"As expected of Captain Bucky!"

A group of Buggy's crew watched with tears in their eyes as Buggy the Clown and the released Shanks stood together and talked, moved by the fact that these two men, who were now powerful figures on the seas, still cherished their childhood friendship.

"Damn Shanks..."

Bucky gritted his teeth and whispered a curse in Shanks' ear.

"Bucky..."

Shanks patted Bucky on the shoulder, looking nonchalant: "We've been friends for decades, so I won't bother with thank yous or anything like that..."

"You bastard..."

Bucky grabbed him by the collar!

"What's wrong, Bucky?"

Shanks was somewhat surprised by Bucky's attitude.

Just as the two of them were arguing, Sasori of the Red Sand from the Konoha Pirates interrupted them, announcing something else in a cold, mechanical voice.

"The hunting game is over."

"The Konoha Pirates will be heading to the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line. Before that, we will be holding a slave auction on Sabaody Archipelago Island 1."

Sasori continued, "As everyone probably already knows, the main characters in this auction are all Celestial Dragons. Anyone who wants to auction off a Celestial Dragon as a slave must enter with a World Noble identity chip to show that they are a hero who dares to kill a Celestial Dragon..."

"..."

Shanks' smile slowly froze.

This man, who had just narrowly escaped with the help of Bucky the Joker, remembered that Figarand Greenegan was also among those being auctioned off…

Own…

We need to find a way to raise some money...

Go and auction off Figaland Greengus...

They might even need to raise more money, because Figarand Greene has committed numerous evil deeds and has already made many enemies, not to mention many competitors...

Now, having experienced the Skypiea incident, Shanks no longer believes he can obtain the Celestial Dragons' slaves from the Konoha Pirates by force. He can only try to achieve his goals peacefully by following the rules established by the Konoha Pirates.

"Will these work?"

Buggy the Clown, who possessed a considerable number of Celestial Dragon identity chips, curiously inquired of Sasori, "The Celestial Dragon chips I obtained in the game..."

"Can."

Sasori of the Red Sand treated the winner very well, even adding in a friendly manner: "You can give away or resell these identity chips to others, which is all within our permission, because these are rewards given to the brave..."

"The prey in a hunting game..."

"These are just tickets to the slave auction..."

"..."

People all over the world heard their conversation.

Konoha Pirates...

Do they really treat the Celestial Dragons like pigs and dogs to be slaughtered?

at the same time.

Many powerful individuals around the world have shown a burning desire to purchase Celestial Dragon identity chips, hoping to buy Celestial Dragons as slaves!

Among them are wealthy pirates who offered a price of one billion Berries to buy it, and some are even willing to pay more to obtain an identity chip!

It is said that…

Some people even made bold statements…

Even if it costs 10 billion Pyrie, I'd give it my all!

However, the Celestial Dragons' identity chips are extremely valuable; only those who participate in the Skypiea Hunting Game possess them, and purchasing one requires contacting the relevant party over a considerable period of time…

A new incident has occurred on the high seas: a Celestial Dragon who was enjoying himself was killed by a group of pirates, and his identity chip was sold for a high price…

soon…

This kind of thing happens all the time.

Of course.

This incident enraged the two Elders.

Even though the Marine Admirals destroyed the pirates, it couldn't save the Celestial Dragons from their precarious situation, and assassinations of Celestial Dragons gradually became more and more common...

after all…

The benefits of killing a Celestial Dragon are too great!

The root cause of this situation lies with the Konoha Pirates. However, as the defeated party in the Skypiea incident, the World Government had no means to prevent it from happening. They could only order the CP department to cover the return of all the Celestial Dragons abroad to the Holy Land as soon as possible…

hope…

The Konoha Pirates should end the auction as soon as possible.

In this way, such a thing should not happen again in the future.

The two remaining members of the Five Elders could not allow the Konoha Pirates to hold an auction, and they had no way to send anyone to deal with the Konoha Pirates. They could only secretly order the CP department to send someone to participate in the auction and try to auction back as many Celestial Dragons as possible.

Even if those Celestial Dragons were secretly executed...

We absolutely cannot allow those Celestial Dragons to become slaves of the sea!

Once the high and mighty gods are treated as slaves, what dignity will the other gods have left to rule over? The Celestial Dragons will become a laughing stock on the sea!

at the same time.

A new member has joined the Konoha Pirates.

Boa Hancock's request to join the Konoha Pirates even sparked internal debate, as she was the first outsider to voluntarily request to join the crew.

"I approve of her joining."

Orochimaru licked his lips, gazing at Boa Hancock with intense, greedy longing. An unsuspecting observer might have thought he harbored some strange, ulterior motive…

"This woman is going to be trouble."

"She used to be a puppet of the World Government and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Tobirama Senju frowned, always wary of everyone, whether it was a beautiful woman like Boa Hancock or any other powerful man.

Any factor that causes instability…

Tobirama Senju has always been extremely averse to people like Madara Uchiha, Madara Uchiha now, and Madara Uchiha in the future.

"I agree."

"Because this is the first person to voluntarily join us..."

Hashirama Senju was in complete agreement. His purpose in founding Konoha was to have everyone join in, and the Konoha Pirates were no exception.

After the internal discussions within the Konoha Pirates concluded, Empress Boa Hancock joined the Konoha Pirates as a navigator, becoming a full-fledged pirate on the ship.

This was also the first crew member the Konoha Pirates had accepted who voluntarily defected. Although the World Government had known about Boa Hancock's betrayal for a long time, they were powerless to do anything about it...

The World Government and the Navy are helpless against Boa Hancock, who has joined the Konoha Pirates. They can't even send the Navy to attack the Amazon Lily Kingdom because the Konoha Pirates' flag has already been planted there...

There is a fixed rule on the high seas.

Attacking an island flying one side's flag means starting a war with that side! Burning the other side's flag means the two sides will fight to the death!

Not only that…

Boa Hancock, who had just joined the Konoha Pirates, even ordered the people of Amazon Lily Kingdom, in the name of the Amazonian Emperor, to carve the faces of everyone in the Konoha Pirates on the mountain behind the kingdom, from Captain Hashirama Senju to herself, the rookie navigator, so that no one's face could be left out...

It's obvious to everyone...

This Amazonian emperor has genuinely joined the Konoha Pirates.

exactly…

It was around this time.

The World Government directly announced Boa Hancock's removal from the Seven Warlords of the Sea; this woman had killed far too many Celestial Dragons during the Skypiea incident…

Besides that…

And there's Blackbeard Teach, Bucky the Clown, and others...

Every single pirate who participated in the Skypiea hunt game was included…

Boa Hancock, who killed the most Celestial Dragons and joined the Konoha Pirates, saw her bounty jump from 80 million Berries to 10 billion Berries. This is the going rate for many members of the Konoha Pirates. Every member of the Konoha Pirates has the most Celestial Dragon blood on their hands and poses the highest danger on the seas, so their price can't be low...

Second place…

The winner, of course, is Bucky the Clown.

Bucky the Clown has a bounty of 4.425 billion Berries, which is comparable to the price of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea). Some people have even called him the new Emperor of the Sea!

From the current perspective…

Bucky the Clown does indeed have the potential to become an emperor.

Because this man dared to kill Celestial Dragons, and was even the first pirate to kill a Celestial Dragon, he personally executed more than two hundred Celestial Dragons in the Hunting Game. In addition, his status was not low, which once attracted the admiration of many pirates!

But...

Some argue that Bucky the Clown cannot be categorized as one of the Emperors of the Sea.

Because Buggy the Clown, like the Konoha Pirates, has always been targeting the Celestial Dragons and seems to have hardly ever fought against normal pirates...

Compared to the emergence of Buggy the Clown and Boa Hancock, the other pirates seemed somewhat insignificant, especially the pirate who had previously defeated Buggy the Clown, who appeared less prominent in this Skypiea incident…

Monkey D. Luffy's bounty has been increased to 230 million Berries.

Pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro has a bounty of 160 million Berries.

Yes.

These two individuals were not spared by the World Government and the Navy either.

Because the Straw Hat crew also participated in the hunting game, and Zoro even killed a Celestial Dragon, they were also included in the list by the World Government.

"Luffy and Zoro's bounties are so high..."

Chopper held two bounty posters in his hands, and looking at the dense zeros after the bounty amount, he felt dizzy.

"Probably because Zoro cut down a Celestial Dragon..."

Nico Robin stood beside Chopper and patted his head. She seemed quite knowledgeable about these things, and a light smile appeared on her face.

Because the gradual collapse of the World Government was what she had been hoping for. Once the World Government that had destroyed Ohara fell, the hatred and pressure that had been weighing on her heart would disappear, and she could continue to live...

Survive...

Find your partners and friends...

These were the words Saul had told himself when they parted.

With the Konoha Pirates' series of major moves, Nico Robin finally saw hope for survival in this world.

"Bucky's bounty is so high..."

Nami held Buggy the Clown's bounty poster in her hand, and her eyes almost turned into the symbol of Bailey!

Who would have thought?

Bucky the Clown has such a high bounty!

"Miss Hancock is so beautiful..."

Sanji, holding Boa Hancock's bounty poster, practically had hearts popping out of his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Hancock is so beautiful! She truly is the most beautiful woman in the world! And the Amazonian empress has a bounty of a terrifying 10 billion!"

"You idiot..."

Zoro's forehead twitched.

The man shook his head, not wanting to discuss these matters with his companions, and continued to diligently practice his barbell.

This time, the Sky Island incident...

This once again showed Zoro the terror of a strong person.

Having once clashed with the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, and even witnessed Mihawk shatter Krieg's ship with a single blow, Zoro was already quite impressed. Now, however, he is witnessing the demeanor of even more powerful figures...

Own…

The intensity of the training must be increased!

I must work hard to improve my strength as soon as possible!

Zoro's brow remained furrowed, never relaxing. In the future, they might face enemies so terrifying that a single blow could destroy an island, and they must find a way to become stronger!

"Huh? Robin's bounty poster is weird..."

Usopp curiously held a wanted poster in his hand as well.

However, this wanted poster was strange; unlike other wanted posters, it didn't say "life or death at stake"...

Nico Robin, the Devil's Child, has a bounty of 120 million Berries (capture only).

"What's so strange? Only capture alive?"

A group of people immediately gathered around out of curiosity.

Nico Robin's expression changed drastically as she looked at her wanted poster. How could the World Government possibly demand her capture alive instead of killing her? They had ruthlessly annihilated the entire Ohara back then!

The World Government wants to capture her alive…

There must be something she needs to do!

"..."

Nico Robin clenched her nails in her palm. What did she have that the World Government could possibly use?

Besides the information he possessed from ancient texts and historical records, he also learned about Pluto, the god of the underworld, in Alabasta, and about the whereabouts of Poseidon, the god of the sea, which he had secretly discovered on the Sky Island…

But...

This incident did not seem to attract much attention from the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Straw Hat crew quickly shifted their attention elsewhere, discussing the latest issue of the World Economic News.

Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, personally wrote an article praising the Konoha Pirates, even including photos of the Konoha Pirates' captain and vice-captain working together to kill three of the Five Elders and defeat the Navy's top combatants!

[The world's strongest pirate crew? No, they are the new kings of the world!]
