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

"A bounty has been placed on my head..."

Aokiji walked over with his hands in his pockets, his gaze slowly shifting to the wanted poster.

He was once a naval admiral in the righteous camp, but has now fallen to become a wanted criminal by the evil pirates.

Such a change of identity can indeed bring about a rather wonderful and complex emotional journey.

"Even Aokiji has a bounty on his head now~"

Luffy chuckled and said, "I wonder how much worse it is compared to my numbers."

"As a trainee sailor, you must be hundreds of millions less successful than me, right? Hehehe~"

He stood there, nodding as if putting on airs.

"Speaking of which..."

Brook, who was standing nearby, looked over and asked, "Luffy-san, do you know what your bounty is?"

"Of course, didn't Ace bring the wanted posters with him when he brought us news of the Four Emperors before?"

Luffy looked at Brook as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "I remember my number was... what was it again?!"

Luffy suddenly paused, completely forgetting about the incident.

After thinking carefully for three seconds... 707

"Eh?!?!?!?!"

He suddenly jumped up and yelled, "I think... I forgot about my bounty?!"

Luffy was dumbfounded; his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"You didn't even look properly?!"

Usopp grumbled, patting the back of the neck of the still-surprised, idiot captain.

"Back then, you were so smug about becoming one of the Four Emperors, and you couldn't wait to hold a banquet~"

Sanji, standing nearby, bluntly pointed out, "So you completely forgot about the bounty."

"No, or rather, in this guy's mind, the false fact that 'I've already seen the bounty poster' has already formed."

Nami added speechlessly, "That's why this guy is so calm."

"Huh? It can even create false memories to deceive yourself?!"

Little Chopper was greatly surprised.

"Of course, just think about Sanji, he automatically deleted all his memories related to Kokoro, and you'll know."

Usopp shrugged at him.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredible generosity with this donation!! Thank you!!]

730 The bounty on everyone's heads!! The level of "Say my name and I'll give you a shock"!!

Sanji looked puzzled: "Grandma Kokoro? Who's that? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before~"

Usopp: "...Look~"

"Amazing!!"

"Alright, stop talking so much!!"

The false memories in his mind collapsed, and Luffy rubbed his hands together, somewhat eager to check his bounty poster.

"By the way, have you all seen your bounty posters? Do you know what the numbers are?!"

"Of course... not yet~ Awoo!"

Franky shook his head.

"If you, the captain, haven't even read the bounty poster, how can we, as the crew, overstep our bounds? Of course, we're waiting for you, the captain, to join us!!"

"Frankie, everyone..."

Luffy looked at Franky and the others with a touch of emotion.

Then~

"Aww, Luffy heard about the bounty poster before he set sail, and I won the bet!!"

Franky stretched out his arms to Zoro, Robin, and the others.

"We agreed beforehand that I bet Luffy would find out about this before setting sail, and now I've won! Don't forget the cola you owe me!!"

"Okay, I'll buy it for you later."

Zoro rubbed his temples with a hint of regret.

"I thought Luffy would be so carefree that he wouldn't remember the bounty until after he set sail, thanks to the news bird's report."

"Otherwise, we could have won the wine... It's all Usopp's fault~"

Robin, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

"It was Uncle Yixiao who left this here. Since you lost the bet, don't blame me. Go find Uncle Yixiao!"

Usopp was shaking his long nose, while Luffy looked on with a somewhat bewildered expression.

After my brain went blank for a while...

"Huh?! You're using me as a bet?!"

"You're only just realizing it now?! 々～!"

Nami waved her hand at him, "If their bets weren't just about wine and cola, with no money involved, I would have joined in too."

Luffy:"……"

How could you do this to me?!

He stood there, gesturing wildly and shouting angrily, "I'm the captain!!"

"In Chopper's words, the captain is the most unreliable, most prone to recklessness, and most disobedient troublemaker!"

Robin, with a sly smile, refuted Luffy's words, implying that even though she had lost the bet, she was still making fun of her own captain.

"you……"

Luffy bared his teeth, and just when everyone thought he was about to throw another tantrum...

"Such a fun activity, and they didn't include me?!"

Others: "...???"

"Huh? You can be included in something like this?!"

Little Chopper stared at him in shock.

Usopp and Nami both sighed and facepalmed in disbelief.

Zoro and Sanji were looking at this idiot captain with expressions of utter disbelief.

"Yohohohoho!!"

"Aaaah!!!"

Brooke and Franky were also laughing heartily there.

"Whoo~"

Aokiji, who was standing to the side, suddenly exhaled a breath of cold air, his expression slightly complicated.

I understand how you feel.

Jinbe sighed beside him, his voice low and somber.

"Perhaps you also feel that you've gotten on the wrong ship?"

Aokiji nodded silently, almost imperceptibly.

At this moment, the former Shichibukai and the former Marine Admiral, both of whom had previously served the World Government, suddenly found a rare common ground.

"Alright, let's talk about the bets later. Now, let's sort out the new bounty amount on our side."

Link shook the huge stack of wanted posters in his hand and tossed them in front of the crowd.

In an instant, each bounty notice appeared before its corresponding person.

The newspaper also listed the new bounties of the Straw Hat Pirates, the strongest pirate crew on the seas with its incredibly powerful subordinates, including the captain and crew.

The first one that catches the eye is the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper, "Overlord Spear" Usopp, with a bounty of 720 million Berries!!

This battle didn't feature many impressive feats; he simply captured the secretary of the royalist official.

Therefore, Usopp's bounty has only increased by 110 million compared to the last time.

Although it was far less than the terrifying boosts of others, Usopp was still quite satisfied.

A pirate with over 700 million Berries... he's grown to the point where just calling out his nickname is enough to terrify his enemies!

The level of being able to give you a real fright just by saying my name!

Usopp is now a true and brave warrior of the sea.

His name has long been known throughout the world, along with the world's strongest pirate crew, the Straw Hat Pirates.

And~~~

He has now achieved even more than his father, Yasopp!

He's a sniper on a pirate crew of one of the Four Emperors, and he's about to become the Pirate King's sniper too!!!

The situation of fathers and sons living together seems to be not far off.

Besides him, the bounty amounts for everyone else were also listed.

Brook, the musician of the Straw Hat Pirates, also known as the "Soul-Slaying Sword," has a bounty of 660 million Berries!

Similarly, Brook didn't show much skill, only defeating a small fry like Apoo. However, thanks to his status as a member of a Yonko pirate crew, Brook's bounty skyrocketed.

(Zhao's Zhao) Beside him, Franky, who forms the song and dance duo~~~

Franky, the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates, is a cyborg with a bounty of 660 million Berries!

The bounty posters, which had been silent since the Dressrosa incident, reappeared after the battle with the Beasts Pirates.

After defeating the famous master Sasaki, Franky's bounty skyrocketed.

However~~~

"Why has the photo on the bounty poster been changed to General Franky's appearance?! Ku!"

While he did indeed pilot the "General Franky" in his duel against Sasaki, there are no photos of him at all.

Nami and Ah Niu, two characters who haven't shown much strength, have also improved somewhat.

Nami, the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, has a bounty of 366 million Berries.

731 Link's bounty amount?! You call this a tiny increase?!

Straw Hat Pirates combatant, [Fierce Bull] Kung Fu Dugong, bounty: 440 million Berries.

Well, Nami's growth doesn't matter to her. Aside from being 'excited' to the point of tears and really wanting the money, nothing else really matters... Just kidding!

Ah Niu's figure is a clear example of how the amount of the reward does not reflect his strength.

I always felt that there was something strange about the Navy's bounty department.

You say they don't value these pet-like creatures, yet they've issued a bounty.

If you say they value it, then the pitiful amounts owed to Pepo and the original Chopper make it feel like they're deliberately mocking them.

Especially Chopper's initial 50 Berries—that's barely enough to print the bounty poster!

It feels like taking off your pants to fart, a completely unnecessary step.

The sarcastic tone is even stronger when Chopper's bounty is expected to jump to 1,000.

However, Chopper's bounty hasn't increased much these days.

Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hat Pirates' doctor and pet, has a bounty of 370 million Berries.

Well, it's not 710, but it increased the market share by 70 million.
