"Not really? It's not a big deal. I just happened to run into him while passing by?"

Jerry felt that there was no need to report on this matter, or maybe that group of reporters were just too idle and could make up something at the slightest sign of trouble.

"It's really nothing. It occupies a small corner of the newspaper, but it has added some reward notices."

"Reward order?"

Kalina suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yes, it is indeed about you and this sister."

Nodding, Jinbei looked at Kalina and Carrot, and produced two wanted posters with the photos of the two people on them.

The bounty amount is not high, Kalina's is several million, and Carrot's is only 30 Baileys, 20 higher than Kodaz. It is considered a pet price. I don't know if it is priced by weight or something else.

When the bounty order was issued, Karina was struck by lightning. She reached out to take the paper and confirmed that it was her photo. Then she slowly fell to the ground, with a sad face, muttering:

"Why offer a reward for me? I am just a poor man forced to board the ship."

"I was so happy today, why did you show me this? I feel so sad, so depressed..."

In contrast, Garrott jumped up happily. She probably didn't know what this meant. She took the bounty order and cheered:

"Great! I have a bounty too!"

"Brother Jerry, does that mean I am also a qualified pirate?"

"Ah... this is indeed a big pirate, but you have to be more vigilant."

Jerry scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Regarding the bounty on the two young girls, he could only remind them to be more careful and to look after them if anything happened.

Kalina hadn't done anything after getting on the ship, but she was inexplicably put on a bounty just because she encountered a wave of navy.

As for Carrot, although he is young, he is quite powerful and he has fought on the island before, but he had not been put on the bounty list at that time.

Jerry felt that the biggest reason was that they appeared on the pirate ship this time and were identified as their accomplices by reporters and the navy.

He had originally planned to find a chance to let Kalina off the ship after returning to the first half of the Grand Line or the Four Seas, but given the current situation, it would be difficult to make arrangements.

After the joy, Carrot saw Kalina sitting on the ground, looking distraught, mumbling something. She blinked her big eyes, flew over, hugged Kalina and rubbed her cheek.

As a habitual thief, Karina didn't care much about the bounty at first, but for a moment, she couldn't accept that she was being bountied not as a thief, but as a pirate, and the key point was that she was a pirate who was forced to board the ship.

She also thought that if her public identity was tied to the Kuroko Pirates, she would be hunted down by troops of the corresponding level in the future.

That's why she seemed depressed, but after being comforted by Gallot in her unique way, she was no longer entangled. During the time they were on the boat, they had already become good friends.

The established facts cannot be changed, let’s talk about the future later, she thought to herself, and her face slowly returned to its normal expression.

Seeing this, Deus and others stood aside, not knowing how to comfort her. After all, the reward had been officially issued and they had no choice. They thought that it was a good thing that Gallot was there.

Jerry secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said:

"Ahem...their reaction is a bit big. Jinbe, shall we wait for you here tomorrow morning and then set off together?"

"Well, they can come here directly to pick you up then."

"No need for that. Don't make a big scene. We are pirates and this is an affiliated country. We should keep a low profile so as not to affect the status and policies of the Ryugu Kingdom."

"In that case, I won't bother you any more. I'll go back and discuss it with them first and then make some arrangements."

After Jerry finished speaking and no one else had any objections, Jinbei said goodbye and left, showing his decisiveness.

"Okay, let's disband and go for a stroll tonight. Remember to gather here tomorrow morning."

As soon as the disbandment was announced, Ace rushed out in one step. When it comes to enthusiasm for eating, he has always been far ahead.

"Wait for me!"

Deuce followed him out. He remembered that Ace had no money on him. It seemed that after a short period of relaxation, he had to go back to his old ways and chase after this bully everywhere.

After Kalina and the other girl packed up briefly, they walked out. Jerry and Skarr were also about to leave.

"Kalina, are you two okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Let's go, Garrott."

"Uh-huh."

Karina, who had obviously recovered, walked out with Carrot laughing happily.

After looking at each other, Jerry and Skarr started to go ashore with Kodaz.

Everyone went shopping and eating at their leisure, and soon, after nightfall, they returned to the boat one after another.

Late at night, a furtive shadow appeared outside the cabin door. He looked around and raised the corner of his mouth.

He carried a fishing rod on his back, avoiding the sight that only existed in imagination and did not exist at all in reality, and disappeared in a flash.

The shadow just wanted to go out and see what the system was doing and why Jerry issued such a ridiculous task.

He walked along the street corners and walls, running towards the destination he had already inquired about.

There are many criss-crossing oversized transparent tubes filled with sea water in the air. They were specially built by the bubble craftsmen on Fishman Island to facilitate the travel between different areas between the island’s citizens and the creatures in the sea.

Jerry followed the direction of the pipes and soon arrived at the Mermaid Bay.

When he came here, he remembered that this place seemed to be where mermaids lived. It was the same place as the Coral Apartments that Dora had taken him to before, except that the Coral Apartments were located under the Mermaid Bay.

"How do you fish?"

Jerry, who had been to Coral Apartments, knew how deep it was down there. It was impossible for him to fish in someone else's room.

After pondering for a moment, without any more hints or clues, he decided to choose a relatively shallow place first.

Jerry found a place to stay, sat down, and cast out his fishing rod.

Since the mission this time was not regular fishing, he didn't prepare too many things. He just put some bait and tried to fish for a while to see what happened.

After letting the line out as long as possible and going as deep as possible, Jerry began to look around bored.

Although this is deep sea, you can see sunshine, blue sky and white clouds during the day.

Coupled with the extremely lively atmosphere, groups of mermaids playing with each other, in many people's minds, it is as beautiful and dreamy as a fairy tale world.

Surrounded by many corals and well-arranged plants and buildings, these magical races always manage to combine the natural and man-made parts seamlessly.

Jerry was sighing randomly and thinking about other things, and in this way, half the night had passed by there.

Until the darkest hour, before dawn.

"It's darkest before the dawn, and you'd be a fool to give up."

"Why did these words come out of my mouth?"

Stretching lazily, Jerry let his mouth escape the control of his brain in order to cheer himself up.

"Hmm? Are they really available?"

Suddenly, he realized that something seemed to have taken the bait.

I quickly pulled up the rod, and what floated to the surface was a locked small box with a long thin rope on it, entangled with the fishing line.

"So mysterious? Is this the thing the system is referring to?"

Jerry pulled it to his side, reached out to cut the fishing line, then pinched it and broke the small lock off, then opened it and took a look.

He found that it was a box full of shells. After flipping through it, he confirmed that what he had in his hand was just pure shells. There was not even a pearl, let alone the legendary good stuff.

But after he touched the shell, a ding sound came from his mind. Apparently, this was the system's goal, prompting him that he had completed the task.

At the same time, a little head with a red face floated up in the mermaid bay. The moment she popped up, she pointed in the direction of Jerry and screamed angrily:

"Ah ah!"

"There's a pervert stealing your underwear!!!"
