Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

……

'Nami of the Godfall Pirates! (Adopted daughter of Marine officer Bellemere)'

Position: Navigator!

'Unknown Devil Fruit power; possesses the ability to manipulate lightning!'

Nickname: Little Cat Thief!

'Bounty: 80 million Berries!'

It can be said that... no other pirate crew's bounty poster has ever been so complex, with so much information listed.

In comparison, the most normal bounty posters on the entire ship belong to the four combatants: Crocodile, Law, Zoro, and Bartolomeo!

They were the strongest fighters on the ship besides Luo Feng, and also had the highest bounties. Their bounty posters were very simple, almost identical to those of other pirates or revolutionaries at sea, with the same content.

As for Luo Feng, it goes without saying that the bounty order is so complicated, which is easy to understand. As the captain, he has such strength, and he personally killed Whitebeard and sank the Marine Headquarters. Each of these deeds is a sensational event on the sea.

Even if the bounty poster contained so much complicated information, it wouldn't be surprising to the world if the Navy issued a kill order against him.

In the eyes of the Navy and the World Government, Luo Feng is far more despicable than those monsters who are openly and secretly fighting in the New World. They wish they could tear him to pieces immediately!

However, the bounty posters for four female support characters whose roles are completely opposite to those of the four combatants seem rather abnormal...

Robin is somewhat understandable. She possesses unique abilities that the World Government both fears and desires, so it's not unreasonable for her bounty to be special. This is something many people on the high seas already know, so it's not exactly a secret.

The bounty posters for the sisters Nochiko and Nami don't have many special markings, except for one extra note: Marine, Bellemere's adopted daughter!

This information is quite intriguing; it's unclear what the Navy and the World Government are trying to achieve...

Of course, with the intelligence capabilities of the navy and the government, finding out a person's background is extremely easy.

For example, Zoro, Bartolomeo, Nojiko, and Nami, who were the first to have bounties placed on their heads, were all individuals whose information was obtained by the government from the East Blue within the past week.

Their specific identities and past deeds are easy to ascertain in their ordinary hometown.

Therefore, even though the Godfall Pirates only made a brief appearance during the Marineford War and did not reveal their respective positions on the ship, the World Government could still make inferences based on their past strengths and preferences.

Characters like Bartolomeo's shipwright, Nochigo's cook, and Nami's navigator were all derived through deduction.

This was an extremely accurate guess, confirming the location of these individuals on the Meteorite.

The government easily obtained the information that Nochiko and Nami were Bellemere's adopted daughters.

However, no one knows what the Navy and the government meant by adding this seemingly insignificant information to the bounty poster.

Not to mention that Bellemere had no background in the navy, even as an officer, he held a very minor position and belonged to the East China Sea Navy, which was a far cry from the main force.

Moreover, she left the navy more than ten years ago for the sake of her two adopted daughters, and is now long dead.

However, the bounty notice made no mention of his withdrawal or death, simply noting it off, which is puzzling.

Aside from that, there's nothing else strange about the bounty on the sisters' heads.

It was expected that Nami's Devil Fruit ability wouldn't be revealed, since she hadn't mastered much of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power yet, only using a few weak lightning techniques during the Marineford War, and those were all used to chop down zombies...

There are too many fruits and people who can utilize lightning abilities, and even the Navy cannot determine what kind of fruit ability they have, or even whether they have a fruit ability at all.

In addition, Nami's strength at the time was indeed average, and her bounty was not very high. Her initial bounty of 80 million was only due to the Godfall Pirates' reputation; otherwise, it might have been even lower...

Of course, this is also because the Navy has not yet discovered Nami's terrifying talent for navigation. Otherwise, even if she has no strength, the Navy would probably want to get her just for that reason!

Nochiko is more normal. Although the Navy has confirmed that she has the abilities of Shiki, Nochiko's development is not yet very strong, so she does not pose a great threat to the Navy, and her bounty is also moderate.

At this point, the Godfall Pirates, with bounties on all members, only lacked Vivi's bounty poster.

It's fair to say that while the bounty posters for the others were simply perplexing, the information on Weiwei's bounty poster can only be described as 'bizarre'...

'Godfall Pirates—Vivi!'

Position: Unknown!

'Unknown Devil Fruit ability!'

Nickname: Unknown!

'Bounty: 300 million Berries! (Must be captured alive)'

Chapter 239 Public opinion is rising, and the world is in shock!

"What? What kind of bounty is this? Everything is unknown except for the name?!"

"My God, this is the first time a bounty has been offered, and the reward is so high!"

"Are you sure it wasn't a printing error by the Navy? All the information is completely unknown, yet they've offered such a high bounty..."

"Even though she's wearing a mask, she looks very young. Could this young girl possess strength even greater than those supernovas?!"

"And they only allow capture alive. Just who is this girl? Why is the Navy so 'cautious' in issuing a bounty on her?"

When everyone turned to the last wanted poster, everyone who was paying attention to the incident, whether civilians or pirates, even the Navy and the World Government, was in an uproar!

After all, setting bounty orders is a matter for the higher-ups, and only a few people know about special bounty orders. Let alone ordinary marines, even high-ranking officers at the vice admiral level probably don't have the qualifications to know the inside story!

The nine bounty posters issued against the Godfall Pirates, starting with the first one for Luo Feng, and ending with the last one for Vivi, once again shocked the world...

No one could understand it. This was too bizarre. All they had to do was give a name and a photo, and the person in the photo was even wearing a mask so they couldn't see what they really looked like. Yet they had a 300 million bounty and the rare requirement that the person be captured alive!

It's worth noting that even Nico Robin, whom the World Government had been pursuing for years, was only captured alive.

And this newly appeared masked girl has made the Navy go to such lengths!

Suddenly, public opinion shifted again, speculation arose, rumors flew, and everyone was discussing and speculating about the girl's identity...

BUT, one thing is certain: even the Navy and the government couldn't find out Vivi's true identity. No matter how hard people rack their brains, how could they possibly guess it?

Because of the mask covering her face, the Navy and the government still have no way of knowing Vivi's true identity.

Although she still uses the name Vivi, there are countless people in the world whose names contain those two characters. There are so many that even with the power of the World Government, it would be difficult to investigate them one by one!

Who would have thought that this girl named Vivi's full name is Neferutari Vivi?

The sole heir to one of the world's few superpowers, the future empress, becomes a pirate—who would dare to even consider such a thing? Not a single thought would cross their mind!

Even the World Government never considered this possibility: the descendants of the Twenty Kings, the sole descendants of a superpower, becoming pirates? That's utter nonsense!

What's more, they're on the same boat as their enemy, Crocodile, which makes it even more absurd.

The World Government was aware of Crocodile's misdeeds in Alabasta, but had always turned a blind eye.

Therefore, from beginning to end, they never considered the possibility that Vivi was a princess of Alabasta...

Moreover, just before the Marineford War, King Cobra of Alabasta had sent a telegram to the World Government!

Furthermore, he recounted Crocodile's atrocities in Alabasta to the government and demanded that the World Government and the Navy take action regarding Crocodile!

The World Government, which was already aware of the matter, gave a vague answer, outwardly agreeing but in reality using the excuse that a major war was about to break out and that the matter would be discussed later.

It couldn't be clearer: there's no word other than mortal enemies to describe the relationship between Crocodile and Alabasta.

Therefore, the World Government naturally could not possibly believe that Princess Vivi and Crocodile would be on the same side...

However, it was precisely because of this that the World Government's 'tracking' of Vivi ceased.

However, given the precedent of Luo Feng, whose background was also impossible to ascertain, the World Government did not have too many doubts and directly issued this bounty notice that caused an uproar and was full of unknowns.

Meanwhile, the entire ocean was awestruck and buzzing with discussion because of these major events, as well as the deeds and bounties of the Godfall Pirates.

The protagonists of this series of events, however, remained leisurely, drifting in the sky for more than six days, until the morning of the seventh day when they finally descended from thousands of meters in the sky and returned to the sea...

The Meteorite, carrying a group of people, slowly plummeted from the sky. When it landed less than a hundred meters from the sea, Nami on the ship noticed seagulls selling newspapers below.

Seeing this, Nami, under Luo Feng's malicious gaze, pulled a coin from her collar...

"One hundred Berries?! Another price increase? How can they do business like this? If the price goes up again, I'm not buying it!"

Nami, looking disgruntled, tossed the 100-bery coin into the backpack of the sullen-looking seagull, and then took a stack of newspapers.

Clearly, Nami's miserly nature had kicked in again. Despite having a ship full of gold of unknown value, she was haggling over a newspaper that cost 100 Berries, a scene that left her companions both amused and exasperated.

Chopper, whose whereabouts are unknown, thinks: Don't I have any dignity?

Of course, Nami was just joking. This newspaper was the only way for the crew on a sea voyage to access information from the outside world, so they had to buy it no matter how expensive it was.

As a navigator, in addition to routes, weather, and sea conditions, you also need to keep a close eye on these messages.

Meanwhile, the Godfall crew had been sailing high in the sky for a week. As the main characters of this major event, they could all guess that the Marineford War was brewing.

"Ah...?! What?! I'm wanted by the police?! No way...!"

Sure enough, after getting the newspaper, Nami's familiar scream rang out...

Yes, she saw her own bounty poster.

Although she now has a group of incredibly powerful companions with the monstrous strength of Luo Feng, Nami remains the 'cowardly one' on the ship, and her personality hasn't changed.

Even though her bounty was the lowest among the core members, Nami still looked miserable, kneeling there helplessly, groaning without any real reason...

Upon hearing the word "wanted," the combatants perked up and stepped forward, distributing the newspapers and bounty posters among themselves, each reading their own.

After a while, another scream rang out, mixed with satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and all sorts of emotions burst forth from the group.

Chaos erupted on the Meteorite... Nine.

Chapter 240 Quasi-Emperors!

"Why is it that this green-haired bastard's bounty is higher than mine? What makes him better than me? I refuse to accept this!"

Upon receiving the bounty poster, Bartolomeo was overjoyed to see that his first bounty was nearly 300 million, and he immediately ran over to Zoro to show it off.

But when Bartolomeo saw that the other person's bounty was a full 40 million Berries higher than his own, his face fell, his anger flared, and he immediately started ranting...

"Huh? You're not convinced? What's the use of being convinced!"

"Hey! Can't you see? I have 300 million, you have 200 million. Even the Navy thinks you're more than 100 million weaker than me. Save your breath!"

Seeing Bartolomeo's wide, bull-like eyes, Zoro couldn't help but laugh and launched an even deeper attack.

However, this thing's algorithm is really hard to compliment...

"What '080'?! You directionally challenged idiot, I have 280 million, almost 300 million, what do you mean I'm more than 100 million less than you?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Bartolomeo nearly fainted from anger, pressing his face against Zoro's and spitting everywhere.

Zoro remained unmoved, rolled his eyes, and calmly uttered these words, displaying a superior demeanor reminiscent of when he faced Sanji, the seventh character, as Number One in the Sabaody Archipelago...

As expected, another big fight broke out between the two, and the deck was thrown into chaos.
