Chapter 620: New King Ascends

A new Pirate King has appeared.

This news shocked both the war-torn Revolutionary Army and the World Government.

No, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks—dead or captured—how can someone still become the Pirate King during such a strong period for the Navy?

What is this? Renaissance?

East Blue, Goa Kingdom.

"What? That brat Luffy actually became the Pirate King?" Dadan looked at Luffy's iconic smiling face on the newspaper in disbelief, almost smoking her cigarette backward.

The underlings were also dumbfounded. That troublemaker, that blockhead Luffy, became the Pirate King? On what basis? Just because he kept saying "I'm the man who will become the Pirate King" every day?

Aside from the surprise, the people who watched Luffy grow up were still very gratified. Reaching the pinnacle of pirates, Luffy is afraid he will go down in history.

Goa Kingdom Adventurer Branch (Second batch, the headquarters is the first batch.)

"Hiss~ Johnny, did I read that right? Big Brother Luffy actually became the Pirate King?"

"Let me see! Damn!!! F***, so Big Brother Luffy really wasn't just talking!"

Today's newspaper gave the two who were doing commission missions a small shock to their hearts.

Should they continue doing commissions? Or should they go join Big Brother Luffy?

A crew member of the Pirate King, how much face would that have! Even if they were shot by the Navy, it would be worth it!

Alabasta.

Queen Vivi looked at Luffy's photo in the newspaper and couldn't help but reveal a smile: "I knew you could do it."

"Your Majesty Vivi, Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo requests an audience."

Vivi put down the newspaper and restrained her smile: "Wait a moment, I'll be there right away."

Drum Island.

"Hehehehe~ The Straw Hat boy actually became the Pirate King, it's really something to live long enough to see!" Kureha tucked the newspaper into her bosom and turned to leave.

Sabaody Archipelago.

"My god! Another Pirate King! And it's the Straw Hat boy. I remember two years ago, he had no power to fight back in the hands of the Navy!"

"Yeah! They were almost wiped out by Admiral Kizaru back then, if it weren't for..."

Old Rayleigh, who was doing private coating work, heard the discussion, a flash of light appeared in his eyes, then he immediately stopped his work, took out his meager wine money, and bought a second-hand newspaper from someone else.

"Hahahahahaha!"

After confirming that the Straw Hat boy really became the Pirate King, Rayleigh laughed up at the sky, crystal tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Luffy, you really reached this step. Now, as the Pirate King, you know the truth of history. What choice will you make?"

"Joy Boy..."

Dressrosa...

Water 7...

Navy Headquarters.

"Report to Fleet Admiral Kuzan, since the news of Straw Hat Luffy becoming the Pirate King was published, pirate activities in various parts of the world have become much more rampant. Due to the large reduction in branches, the Four Blues are already short of manpower."

Kuzan nodded unhurriedly: "As expected. Notify Admiral Sakazuki and let him handle it himself."

Not enough Navy? It doesn't matter, there are plenty of people in the Adventurer Guild. There are countless Navy members who have "transferred" to become adventurers!

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Kuzan!"

"Wait a minute! This is the latest bounty amount for the Straw Hat crew. Arrange for someone to print a few samples for the news agency. Tomorrow, I want to see the Straw Hat crew's bounty appear in the newspaper."

"Yes!!!"

When only Kuzan was left in the office, Kuzan sighed lightly, his gaze looking at the "Lazy Justice" in front, gradually unfocused.

Perhaps, the era of pirates is really going to be ended by him.

The next day, Thousand Sunny.

"Ah ah!"

"What's wrong, Miss Nami, did you encounter danger? I'll protect you!" Sanji rushed over without a word, looking like a total sycophant.

Others heard the commotion and gathered around.

"Nami, what was published in the newspaper again? Is the Navy preparing to deal with us?"

Nami shook her head, took a stack of bounty posters from the newspaper, and said with tears in her eyes: "Our bounty has been updated."

Luffy's face was happy, and he shouted happily: "What? Let me see, how much is my bounty?"

He couldn't wait to snatch the bounty poster from Nami's hand and opened it to see.

"Hahahahahaha, 7.2 billion Berries, hahahaha..." After seeing his bounty amount, Luffy fell into a strange state, giggling non-stop.

Zoro and Sanji raised their eyebrows slightly. Luffy is already at 7.5 billion, so their bounty must be taking off!

"Hmph! 2.5 billion Berries, that's okay!" After seeing his bounty, Zoro said somewhat pretentiously, because he had already seen Sanji's bounty amount.

"What? 2.4 billion, why is your idiot moss-head bounty 100 million Berries higher than mine? This is unfair!"

Black lines appeared on Zoro's head: "You horny kappa, who are you calling an idiot? Do you believe I'll cut you down, you stinking cook!!!"

Bang bang~ Nami punched twice, eliminating a war in its infancy.

Jinbe: "My bounty is 1.8 billion."

Franky: "I'm 1.2 billion!"

"Yohohoho~ My bounty has also risen, 1 billion Berries, I want to sell myself so much!"

Usopp: "I'm 800 million Berries, good, good, this is the bounty a brave warrior of the sea should have!"

Nami: "I'm 600 million!"

Robin: "300 million, I don't know why, my bounty looks exceptionally low compared to yours..."

Watching others discussing the bounty amount, Chopper only felt it was a bit noisy. After sighing lightly, Chopper stuffed his bounty poster into his backpack with his small hooves, walked silently to the swing in the play area, and sat down.

The joys and sorrows of the world are not the same...

Meanwhile, Adventurer Guilds in various places.

"Look, look quickly, the commission has been updated!!!"

"Hiss~ My god! SSS-class commission, isn't this looking too highly of us? Can only say, is it worthy of being the Pirate King?"

SSS-class commission: 【Capture the Straw Hat Pirate Crew】

Commission description: After Roger, another Pirate King was born. The Navy allows such an existence to roam the sea. Please assist the Navy in capturing the Straw Hat crew into Impel Down.

Commission reward: According to the number of participants, split the Straw Hat crew's total bounty (17.805 billion Berries), fame **

Commission requirements: SSS-class adventurer and above.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there are no adventurers who have reached SSS-class at all, not even S-class. So, this mission is just for others to see, serving as another form of publicity.

In short, it is to create momentum for the Straw Hat crew, letting the world know that they are difficult to deal with and pose a great threat.

However, the return is also generous. As long as you can take down the Straw Hat crew, getting rich overnight is not a dream! ===== CHAPTER 622 =====
