Chapter 295

"Look at my nose, appearing at the edge of the picture."

"Damn it! Usopp, you’re so cunning!"

"Sneaking into the shot."

"Could it be... because the nose was too long back then?"

Everyone was joking around,

While unfolding the newspapers in their hands to check the brand-new bounty posters.

Lord Lord Sima Di took a moment to check the system.

[Ding!! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Four Emperors Straw Hat Pirates!", obtained sign-in reward "Luffy’s Pirate King Will!"]

——————————

"Luffy’s Pirate King Will": Monkey D. Luffy, who has always demanded of himself to be the man who will become the Pirate King...

——————————

Lord Lord Sima Di’s Conqueror’s Haki rose by another small notch.

Not a bad harvest.

He then continued to look at the bounty posters.

[Devil Buster Lord Lord Sima Di: 3.51 Billion Berries]!

[Straw Hat Luffy: 3.51 Billion Berries]!

"What’s this, the same bounty as Di again," Luffy said, a bit unhappy: "But it increased by 2 billion Berries all at once, that’s pretty good too!"

Lord Lord Sima Di smiled, not caring much about these.

[Devil Ship Doctor Crocus: 1.2 Billion Berries]!

Oh?

Crocus got a 200 million Berry increase, not bad either.

[Cyborg Franky: 1.2 Billion Berries]!

Hmm?

How come it’s also 200 million Berries?

"Ouch—it’s the same increase as old man Crocus."

[Going Merry: 1.2 Billion Berries]!

Now someone noticed something was wrong!

Counting Luffy and Lord Lord Sima Di earlier, they also increased by 2 billion Berries.

It seems...

It’s increasing by a fixed number, not based on individual strength?

Lord Lord Sima Di nodded thoughtfully; he roughly knew why.

Because the only one who escaped from Whole Cake Island this time was Blackbeard Teach, the CP0 agents were wiped out before they could appear, and the rest were all Straw Hat Pirates’ own people.

Therefore, the World Government didn't get any news, so Seeing Seeing Kuzan and the others just increased the bounties as a formality.

Sure enough...

[Knight of the Sea Jinbe: 710 Million Berries]!

[Child of the Devil Robin: 710 Million Berries]!

[Black Leg Sanji: 610 Million Berries]!

[Three-Sword Style Zoro: 610 Million Berries]!

[Thunder God Facing Facing Nami: 510 Million Berries]!

[Soul Swordsman Brook: 510 Million Berries]!

[Pirate Empress Hancock: 510 Million Berries]!

[Hammer God Vivi: 410 Million Berries]!

33. Everyone Over 100 Million·Pseudo!

[Child of the Ocean Laboon: 310 Million Berries]!

[Long-Nosed Sniper Usopp: 310 Million Berries]!

[Reindeer Ship Doctor Tony Tony Chopper: 210 Million Berries]!

[Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi: 210 Million Berries]!

[Muscle Freak Kureha: 110 Million Berries]!

[Pet Karoo: 10 Million Berries]!

Except for the changes in the "100 million" unit, the rest were practically copy-pasted.

This lazy, perfunctory style was exactly the same as Borsalino!

Needless to say,

It must have been his responsibility to fill them out.

Even though he is the fastest person at light speed, why can't he be more efficient in his work?

Regardless,

Lord Lord Sima Di didn't care much, casually setting the bounty posters aside.

But the others were in an uproar!

"I actually have a bounty of 310 million Berries!" Usopp wept with joy.

"210 million Berries! 210 million Berries!" Chopper was also excited: "That’s great! I also have a bounty over 100 million! Hahaha—"

"I actually have 110 million Berries too..." Kureha was a bit surprised.

He had just returned to the Straw Hat Pirates, ordinary people shouldn't know...

Oh right!

The Straw Hat Pirates have a partnership with the Marines.

Then it’s fine.

"710 million Berries... I really never thought I’d have such a high bounty," Jinbe sighed.

Choosing the right platform is indeed important!

Robin, who also had a 710 million Berry bounty, nodded in agreement.

"610 million Berries! I caught up to you, perverted cook!" Zoro said triumphantly.

He had been brooding over being slightly surpassed by Sanji last time.

"Tch~ this is clearly the Marines being lazy," Sanji said unhappily: "We had almost no stragglers this time, they had no intelligence at all, they just added it randomly to match the position of the Four Emperors."

That logic holds...

But Zoro didn't care about that!

That smug look made Sanji’s teeth itch with anger.

"510 million Berries... it’s a number I couldn't even imagine before," Facing Facing Nami sighed.

Who would have thought she used to work so hard for 100 million Berries.

"Yohohoho—who’s to say?" Brook, who also had 510 million Berries, was very excited: "We once made a pact that whoever surpassed 500 million in bounty first could become the vice-captain..."

"Why do I only have 510 million Berries?" Hancock said dissatisfied.

She was the second person after Sanji to be dissatisfied with this bounty.

"410 million Berries, that’s enough," Vivi nodded.

Any more and she wouldn't be worthy of it.

"310 million Berries... so much money!" Laboon laughed.

Karoo, who only had 10 million Berries...

"Sorry, I held everyone back, otherwise we would have all broken the 100 million bounty mark."

"Sorry, I held everyone back, otherwise we would all have a bounty of over 100 million."

34. Go Die with the Beasts Pirates!

"Sorry, I held everyone back, otherwise we would all have a bounty of over 100 million." Karoo apologized.

To be honest, it's a bit of a pity...

But!

Everyone looked at each other, it seems no one really cared, right?

"These false names don't matter." Sanji comforted: "Karoo, you don't have to care."

"Then why do you care about your bounty being the same as mine?" Zoro asked soul-searching.

Sanji was silent for a moment, and kicked directly.

"Let you talk too much!"

"Come on! Don't think that just because you ate two Devil Fruits, you can beat me!"

The two original species fought together again.

Everyone who was used to it just discussed the changes in bounty.

Lord Lord Sima Di watched comfortably from the side, but his thoughts drifted to Wano, which was about to arrive.

This country...

Oda expressed on many occasions that "Wano arc is a story he has always wanted to create".

It is true,

You can feel the heart and sincerity Oda poured into the Wano arc through all the details.

Through the Nine Red Scabbards, Shinobu, Oden, Yasuie, these characters,

Oda spent a lot of ink to depict the numerous sentient beings in Wano, thereby making the social hierarchy of Wano reach an unprecedented degree of reality.

Drifters, samurai, courtesans, ninjas, sumo wrestlers, swordsmiths, daimyo, chivalrous men, flying thieves, from peddlers to high-ranking officials, almost all social classes and character images that can appear in feudal society have been involved in the Wano arc.

Alabasta, Lord Lord Sima Di only remembers the three forces of the Royal Army, the Rebel Army, and Crocodile.

Commoners?

Merchants?

Pirates?

The memory is very plain.

Dressrosa was just a confrontation between the old royal power and Doflamingo's faction, and it was not very exciting.

And Wano,

There are Shogun Orochi and local daimyo Yasuie,

It is the underworld armed force headed by Hyogoro,

It is the separatist mountain bandits led by Ashura Doji,

It is the two factions of ninjas belonging to the Oniwabanshu and Raizo/Shinobu,

It is the samurai represented by the Nine Scabbards,

It is the prisoners detained in Udon,

It is the courtesan Komurasaki and the chivalrous thief Kyoshiro who have been lurking for many years.

Every story taken out separately is exceptionally exciting!

Even can be written as a separate chapter.

And gathering them in one place...

Such rich, such complex descriptions of social forces, it is no exaggeration to say that Oda integrated everything he imagined into the Wano arc.

From the ocean currents of the Great Wave off Kanagawa, cultural symbols filled the story.

The entry method of carp leaping over the dragon gate,

The Japanese-style attire and names of the Straw Hat crew,

The stage play form of shamisen accompanied by the opening of the curtain,

35. Banquet in Windmill Village!

Windmill Village, banquet bar.

Dadan the mountain bandit sat down with the villagers, looking happy.

"Hahaha—"

"Luffy boy is really promising! He even defeated the Four Emperors!"

"3.51 billion Berries, our Windmill Town also produced a character!"

"It's a pity that it's still a bit worse than Shanks."

"Aren't they all Four Emperors?"

"It's written in the newspaper, Luffy is also a Four Emperor! Shanks is just a few years older!"

"It's really powerful, not like a human!"

"How did Dadan cultivate Luffy? He became emperor level!"

Everyone was happily sharing the joy, only the stubborn old village chief was angry, knocking his cane hard there.

"How can you celebrate for a pirate?"

"We are the hometown of Marine hero Garp!"

"It's really too shameful! Too shameful!"

Many villagers just echoed, but still discussed loudly.

Saying one thing in front of you and doing another behind your back, making the old village chief tremble with anger!

Landlady Makino held a child and came over, comforting the village chief.

"Everyone is happy today, let them be." Makino comforted.

"That can't be proud of pirates!" The village chief said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes, only today, not allowed tomorrow." Makino shouted.

"Yo!"

"Okay!"

"Makino is right!"

"Right right right! Just today!"

"Hahaha—"

Watching everyone singing and echoing, the old village chief had no choice.

Glaring at them with anger, he turned and left angrily.

"Wo!"

"The old man is gone!"

"Everyone drink today, it's all on me... watching you drink!"

Nojiko saw this and could only smile helplessly, returned to the bar, and picked up the newspapers again.

They were all about Shanks.

The latest one, it says—

[Four Emperors Shanks once confronted the Straw Hat Pirates at the Summit War, is the next target him?]

This made Nojiko a little worried...

Shanks and Luffy didn't really have a conflict, did they?

And...

Shanks was actually expelled from the Roger Pirates, that man who was full of Roger, he must have been very sad at that time...

Dadan is also a mountain bandit with a vicious face and a kind heart. Seeing Makino sad, she slammed the empty wine glass on the bar.
