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

Isn't it normal for the first mate to be shorter than the captain?

Besides, he wasn't Nika, the "Warrior of Liberation" and "Sun God" whom the World Government was extremely wary of and vigilant about.

Moreover, the "double reward for capturing alive" condition is, in some ways, even better than Luffy's.

As for the others, they should just go to bed and wash up.

Compared to Luffy and Link, their amounts don't seem so conspicuous.

There is no harm without comparison.

Zoro and Sanji have bounties of over 700 million and 600 million Berries respectively, which seems to be at the level of a great pirate. Even if their bounties are combined, they are still less than Link's alone.

The two of them don't even have a fraction of what Luffy has!

Thus, with Link and Luffy's astonishing bounties revealed, the Straw Hat Pirates have become an undeniable force, not to be underestimated by anyone, not even the powerful figures of the New World in the latter half of the series!

Link also pondered this for a moment.

"We all have decent bounty figures. I think that besides our performance in the Marineford War, our threat level is also the main factor."

"Especially me, the 'Tool Master' with many unique gadgets, paired with Luffy, the future 'Sun King', such a combination is probably something the World Government is quite wary of."

"Plus, considering the strength and potential shown by Zoro and his crew... that's why the World Government gave us a slightly higher figure."

It's threatening... If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite...

The Straw Hat Pirates have practically become one of those great pirate crews capable of threatening the world!

And it's at the level that the world government is wary of...

Ultimately, after unification, the Straw Hat Pirates, a massive and evil criminal gang with a total bounty of 6.6666 billion, finally became an organization that the world feared immensely.

Well, although they are still somewhat inferior to the Four Emperors-level pirate crews.

After all, the bounties of the Four Emperors start at four or five billion, and just one of them can offset the bounty of most of Luffy's pirate crew.

If we add a few more officials, the total reward amount would easily exceed that.

However, it's more than enough to surpass 99.9% of all pirate crews in the world.

The Straw Hat Pirates, with their current bounty amount alone, have the capital to establish themselves and rise to prominence in the New World!

"Are all the Four Emperors pirates in the New World worth four or five billion bounties each?!"

After learning from Link about the bounties of those famous pirates in the latter half of the story.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Freshwater Salted Fish' for the generous donation of 1000 points!!! Thank you again to 'Call Me Monster' for the same 1000-point donation!!! Thank you!!!]

410 Flying to the whole world! A bounty poster delivered to every hometown!! The bandits of Windmill Village~

The group, who were initially overjoyed and quite pleased with themselves, were then doused with cold water.

"I already think a few hundred million is difficult, but they have billions..."

Usopp swallowed hard, his voice hoarse with difficulty.

In terms of the bounty amount, he truly felt the terror of the Four Emperors.

The great pirates who have ruled the latter half of the New World for so many years are all formidable figures!

"But doesn't that also demonstrate the value of bringing them down?!"

Zoro, on the other hand, seemed ambitious, making no attempt to hide his drive.

"Hahaha, that's right! Since we're heading to the New World to find ONE PIECE, we'll inevitably have to deal with the Four Emperors!!"

Ever since he learned his updated bounty, Luffy's smile has never stopped.

"Those are the Four Emperors..."

Papagu and Kemi, who were standing nearby, wanted to remind them again, but seeing the two of them grinning foolishly and looking so excited, they could only swallow their words back helplessly.

"Before we meet the Four Emperors, let's head to Fishman Island first; that's the most important thing!!"

Luffy immediately decided on the next route, "Let's go to that place and have a good rest!!"

"Oh~!!"

Everyone who received the new bounty was in an exceptionally good mood.

Well, except for a couple of guys who were hit too hard.

"Let's go~"

Link also put away the newspaper, along with the other newly updated bounty posters inside.

For example, the bounties of Ace, Sabo, Jinbe, Whitebeard, and Law, Shiryu, and Ryder, who are nominally under the Straw Hat Pirates' 25th crew.

During this Marineford War, many people were given new bounty photos and bounty amounts.

The Straw Hat Pirates weren't the only ones to shine.

However, the most attention-grabbing characters are Luffy and his crew.

"set sail!!"

Luffy shouted as he stepped onto the Going Merry once more.

Following his actions, the others boarded the ship as well.

Sanji and Chopper were also carried onto the ship by Brook and Franky.

The moment they landed on the ship's deck~

The bubble wrap expanded instantly, completely covering the entire Merry.

"Heading towards Fishman Island!!!"

Luffy sat at the bow of the ship, arms raised high, laughing as he announced the resumption of their voyage.

For them, this marked the end of their more than two hundred-day voyage, but it also meant that at this moment, they could finally continue their dreams and journey.

"Next comes the new world!!"

A long-lost sense of anticipation appeared on everyone's face.

It was a yearning for the future, and a heartfelt joy to have so many companions by my side, with whom I would entrust my life to them!

"The territories of the Four Emperors..."

Link rubbed his wrist and chuckled.

Now, we're finally reaching the second half of this Grand Line, where we'll be facing those sea monsters head-on!

Amidst the smiles and optimism of the crowd, the Going Merry, enveloped in bubbles, slowly sank at the dock.

And so, the Straw Hat Pirates, who would shake the world, officially began their march toward the New World!

At the same time, on the other side.

"Let's go too~~"

Luo, having resupplyed, hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He adjusted the seal hat on his head, and a slow smile curved his lips.

"The Straw Hat crew has already set out, and we can't fall behind them."

"Heading towards Fishman Island and the New World!!"

"Yes, Captain!!"

Pekin and his friends, while daydreaming about the beautiful girls on Fishman Island and those enchanting scenes, grinned from ear to ear, echoing each other's sentiments.

As a navigator, Pebo quickly placed the two bounty posters that he had been eyeing so eagerly on the table to the side.

They then went to check the water flow and waterway.

On the table, the wanted poster, bearing two bear paw prints, prominently displayed photos of Law and Daz.

"Captain of the Heart Pirates, [Surgeon of Death], Trafalgar Law, bounty: 550 million Berries!"

"Daz, swordsman of the Heart Pirates, the Cutter, bounty: 156 million Berries."

After their performance in the Marineford War, Law and Daz's bounties increased dramatically once again.

Daz fared better; his salary jumped from 75 million to over 100 million, a staggering increase of 80 million.

As for Luo, the increase was multiplied by hundreds of millions!

Five hundred and fifty million—that was Link's bounty before he participated in the Marineford War.

Even within the New World, this is a genuine quota for top-tier experts!

Luo himself didn't seem to have much of an opinion on it.

For him, changes in the bounty amount didn't matter.

Only after he has accomplished his primary objective—killing Doflamingo—can he clear his mind to consider other matters.

Ever since~

At Luo's command, the Polar Submarine also swam quickly into the deep sea to catch up with the Merry and the others.

Just as Luffy and Law were heading towards the golden-haired fishman island...

News-carrying gulls and newsbirds, apart from the Sabaody Archipelago, fly towards the entire world, in all directions across the ocean.

He carried the latest newspaper, along with the bounty posters, and flew them all over the world.

At the same time, it was also sent to the hometowns of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

~~~~~~~~~

The East China Sea, one of the four seas.

Windmill Village, a small coastal town in the Goa Kingdom, a member state of the World Government.

"Cheers to our Luffy!!!"

Along the village roads, a group of grown men cheered, raising bottles of liquor they had brought from their homes and clinking glasses on both sides of the street!

"Shut up!!!"

The village chief, furious, ran over, leaning on his cane, his finger trembling slightly, and pointed at the group of men:

"That's a villain who invaded the Marine Headquarters and committed heinous crimes; he's the most wicked criminal in the history of our village!!"

"How could you be so ignorant..."

Cheers again!!!

"...Shut up, all of you!!!"

The village chief, his face darkening, wanted to continue his reprimand.

But then someone next to him grinned and held up a bounty poster in front of the village chief.

"Look, village chief! Luffy has a bounty of a whopping 1.8 billion Berries!!!"

"This is simply the most proud man in our East China Sea!!"

"He's the pride of our village! We've never had a pirate of this caliber before!!!"

"That's right, Luffy has achieved such success, shouldn't we be happy for him?!"

"Let's have a drink together, cheers to Luffy!!!"

The men who were celebrating nearby, when they saw the village chief take the bounty notice to read it, also chimed in with laughter and encouragement.

The village chief, after watching it...

"Hmph!!"

His brows furrowed deeply, and then he let out a cold snort.

"What do you know?!"

The village chief stroked his beard and continued firing off, "Doesn't the fact that there's such a bounty just prove that Luffy's crimes are utterly heinous?!"

"Have some shame! And don't celebrate for people like this. It's not something to be proud of in front of the village!!!"

"Really?! But village chief, why are the corners of your mouth turned up?"

"Cough cough, nonsense! There's no such thing! You must have seen wrong!!"
