The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

But what happened after he picked up his bounty poster?

Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hat Pirates' pet, is known as the "Sweetheart Guardian" and has a bounty of 250 Berries.

Chopper: "..."

His body immediately froze in place.

"how so?!"

Chopper's mouth was wide open, snot was dripping from his nostrils, his eyes were rolled back, and his entire background was shrouded in darkness.

Looking at the wanted poster showing him eating marshmallows and cookies and drinking juice, Chopper felt that the world was full of malice towards him.

You can't judge me based on just one photo!

Even if it's classified as such, 250 peso is just the price of a newspaper. Am I really that worthless?!

I did put in the effort and fought hard, and I'm not a pet, I'm the ship's doctor!

Chopper had a million curses he wanted to vent, but...

Some people were even more distraught than him and wanted to curse.

"who is this?"

Sanji's face was as thin and emaciated as if he had been stripped of his bones and turned into a ghost. His eyes were bulging as he stared in disbelief at the wanted poster photo above.

Sanji, the Straw Hat Pirates' cook, has a bounty of 55 million Berries.

Well, this number is similar to the amount Link had when he first put a bounty on his head in the East Blue, so it can be said that the future looks promising.

but???

The photo on the wanted poster was exactly a sketch.

The reward notice prominently displays the text: "Unable to obtain the photo."

These words, along with that photo, dealt Sanji a devastating blow.

"Why, why did it... turn out like this?!"

Sanji's knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground. The world before him was dark and upside down, and his life seemed to have lost all color.

"All the girls in the world will laugh at me..."

Two streams of unspeakable tears of sorrow flowed from Sanji's eyes.

His sorrow flowed like a river.

"Why is this happening?!"

Although Chopper couldn't accept it, he was still much stronger than Sanji.

"I was fighting really hard, so why are those marines treating me like this?!"

Chopper held the bounty poster in front of Luffy, and complained bitterly to Link on it:

"Isn't this number just too disheartening?!"

Uh, 250... Although neither Chopper nor the Navy understood the specific meaning of this number, and both believed that the Navy certainly didn't mean to annoy Chopper.

However, Link felt that this number was indeed very unfriendly to Chopper.

Moreover, while "Sweetheart Guardian" is slightly better than "Cotton Candy Lover," it still sounds quite unreliable.

If it were even more anime-like, it would soon become "Shugo Chara!"...

"What's the point of my life anymore...?"

Sanji lay there, his heels raised and twitching like a scorpion pulling a rake.

"Then you should just die sooner."

The sharp-tongued Zoro replied with this.

I thought Sanji would immediately get up and argue with me, but instead I saw that the deck where he was lying was covered in tears.

Sauron: "..."

Is the blow really that big?!

However, no matter how lively the news was on their ship about the bounty, the news-carrying seagulls delivered the bounty notices to their hometown.

Their respective hometowns also became genuinely lively.

[An elderly family member passed away today, so the update is a little late. Here's a long chapter, sorry!]

128 has spread far and wide! The reactions in everyone's hometowns!! It's truly an achievement!

East Blue, Windmill Village of the Goa Kingdom.

The liveliest place in the whole town is inside the Makino Bar.

"Cheers to what Luffy has accomplished!!"

A group of adults who had watched Luffy grow up since he was a child were excitedly raising their glasses in celebration.

"Hey, you bunch of idiots, don't you even realize something's wrong?!"

The village chief was so angry that he was puffing out his beard and glaring at the ground, repeatedly banging his cane on the ground.

"Our village has produced a notorious pirate with a bounty exceeding one hundred million!!!"

However, no one paid any attention to the village chief's words; instead, they retorted with a grin:

"It's alright, Ace's amount is still over 500 million!!"

"Exactly! When Ace changed his bounty poster, we celebrated for him several times!"

"Now that Luffy has also made a name for himself, we can't let him be treated unfairly!!"

"That's right, this time, let's drink to Luffy!!"

"cheers!!!"

A group of people cheered and continued to clink glasses there.

despair! !

The crisp sound of bottles clinking against glasses, and the splashing of the pure liquor, brought the joyful atmosphere to its peak.

"you……"

The village chief was so angry that he clutched his chest, completely at a loss for words about what was wrong with these guys.

"Don't be angry, village chief. Everyone is happy for Luffy."

The gentle macchiato promptly offered a cup of hot tea, smiling softly.

"And Luffy is laughing so happily, and he has so many crewmates, so his sea adventure must be very enjoyable and interesting, right?"

"What partners? They're clearly just his accomplices in breaking the law..."

The village chief muttered to himself unconsciously, but his body language betrayed him as he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"I just don't know if Dadan knows about this. Don't forget to tell them about it later."

"Hi? Hi, I remember."

Meanwhile, in the village of Seimo Shiki on an island in the East China Sea, inside the Isshin Dojo.

"【Pirate Hunter】? Is that Roronoa Zoro, the pirate hunter who was famous in the East Blue before?!"

A group of kids learning martial arts here chased after the dojo master, the squinty-eyed dojo master who always seemed to have a kind and gentle smile. Shimotsuki Koshiro asked.

"Master, can we be as awesome as Zoro-senpai?!"

"sure?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro smiled gently, "As long as you study and practice diligently, one day you will be able to reach the same level of strength as Zoro-senpai!"

As he spoke, he recalled the stubborn figure of him training hard and studying desperately in this dojo.

"It seems that your understanding of swordsmanship has deepened a lot, Zoro-kun. You've probably developed your own understanding of swordsmanship by now..."

He was very concerned about Zoro's condition, and the determined look in Zoro's eyes in the photo made him quite gratified.

Then I heard the chatter of those kids again:

"When Zoro was a bounty hunter, he was only famous in the East Blue, but after becoming a pirate, he's famous all over the world!!"

"How about we learn our skills and then go out to sea and become pirates?!"

"Great idea! Let's form a pirate crew together and head to the Grand Line to find Zoro-senpai!"

"Okay! It's settled then!!"

A group of kids were making decisions among themselves.

Shimotsuki Koushirou standing nearby: "??????"

Hey, wait a minute!

Just as Koushirou was setting a very bad precedent for the younger generation by making Zoro such a troublesome senior?

On the other side, in Xiluobu village.

"Look, look! Captain Usopp has his own bounty now!!"

"Everyone, come out and see!"

On a bright and sunny morning, you could see three little devils: Potato Head, Onion Head, and Carrot Head. One of them was banging a gong and drum, another was making a megaphone with his hands and shouting loudly, and the third was holding up a wanted poster.

The three of them each had their own tasks, making the entire morning in Xiluobu Village a chaotic mess!

"What are you three brats making all that noise about?!"

Naturally, the residents were unhappy with the noise and started opening their windows or coming out of their houses.

"Now that Usopp, that big talker, is leaving, are the three of you planning to follow in his footsteps?"

An old man wearing a fisherman's hat and a seafood shop apron suddenly let out a sneer:

"You're saying Usopp has a bounty on his head from the Navy? How is that possible? That skinny Usopp who can't do anything right and loves to brag and exaggerate, how could he possibly..."

pat!

Before the old fisherman could finish speaking, Carrot Head was already furious, holding the wanted poster and spitting it on his face.

"Look! This is Captain Usopp's bounty poster, issued directly by the Navy!!!"

The three men simultaneously wiped away their unstoppable tears, and proudly shouted to their fellow villagers.

"This...it really is Usopp!!!"

boom! !

The entire village of Xiluobu was in an uproar.

One by one, they all gathered around the old fisherman, staring wide-eyed at the wanted poster.

The crowd surged even more violently, eventually squeezing Onion Head and his two companions out.

"It really is Usopp!"

"Who would have thought that Usopp, who loves to boast, would one day have a bounty on his head from the Navy?!"

"Thirty-three million Berries, such a high amount, it's unbelievable!!"

"This amount is already higher than the bounty offered by the pirates of the East Blue, isn't it?!"

"So, Usopp has become a Grand Line-level pirate? That's unbelievable!!!"

"Could it be that something went wrong with the navy, and they made a mistake?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! If Yasopp could become a notorious pirate, why can't his son?!"

"That's right! I always said Usopp was good-looking and destined for great things, and now it seems I was right!!"

"When did you say that? You weren't the one who looked down on Usopp the most before!!"

"No way!! I was really upset after he left, and I worried about him for a long time!!"

"I must say, Usopp's photo is actually quite good, really handsome. 'Sticky Gun,' right? Even his nickname is so refreshing and unique, not bad at all!!"

A group of elderly men and women were pointing at Usopp's bounty poster and praising it incessantly.

Soon, Usopp transformed from a bad boy who was lazy, good-for-nothing, and loved to lie and boast into someone who was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and, as expected, grew up to be a great man!
