Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

For example, Luffy, Reiner, Zoro, or Sanji, the pirates will brag about them, as if they can become brothers with them when they meet again next time.

"After the Battle of Marineford, newcomers emerged one after another, vying for the title of Emperor of the Sea. As a result, the situation has returned to the Four Emperors dominating the field."

"That's true, but it's completely different from the past. The four emperors now are all newcomers who have only come to prominence in the past two years."

"Yeah, Red Hair is the only veteran strongman left. I don't think he will be overthrown soon."

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter broke out in the tavern. Kaku pushed open the door and found that no one was looking at them, so he walked casually towards the table in the corner.

Pirates are very keen on any new things on the sea, but there is another topic that they are even more enthusiastic about.

That must be a variety of fancy comparisons of the strength of the strong ones.

"It's different. Whitebeard and the others are all old after all, while Red Hair is in his prime. His fighting power is definitely among the top four emperors."

"Don't give me that. Kaido isn't that old, but he still lost to the Black Snake Reiner. If you ask me, the New Four Emperors have more potential."

"Stop talking nonsense. Black Snake Reiner is an exception. His devil fruit is too outrageous. How could anyone beat him in a one-on-one fight?"

"That's right. Compared to him, Straw Hat, Ace, and Buggy seem much more normal."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget that Ace is Roger's bloodline. I still think he's more likely to inherit the position of Pirate King."

"You said Ace has the best chance of becoming the Pirate King?!"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

At this point, the atmosphere suddenly became heated. The two pirates slammed the table and stood up, glaring at each other, attracting the attention of several tables around them.

"Senryodo Baki has three former Shichibukai under his command! Do you even know what the world's greatest swordsman is? How could he lose with Hawkeye around him?"

"That's just Hawkeye! The Whitebeard Pirates have sixteen captains, including Marco, Jozbista, and Jinbe. How many can Hawkeye defeat?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, have you forgotten the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, another pirate pushed through the crowd and joined the quarrel with a slap of his hand.

"The undead summoned by one Black Snake Reiner can defeat the two pirate groups! Not to mention that the Straw Hat Boy has powerful generals such as the great swordsman Roronoa and Blackfoot Sanji under his command."

"What's the use of having strong subordinates! I heard that Straw Hat Boy has never defeated Ace once. The Pirate King is not for his subordinates!"

One pirate grabbed the newcomer by the collar and shouted, and the captured pirate immediately retorted loudly with a red face:

"Winning is enough, why bother with so much? Even if we talk about captain strength, Straw Hat Boy shouldn't be at the bottom. Buggy is the weakest one, right?"

"What are you talking about! Didn't you read the Navy's report? Buggy was once a man on Roger's ship who was on par with Red Hair. His strength was at least on Red Hair's level, don't you understand?"

"Bullshit! How can that guy Buggy be compared to Red-Haired Shanks!"

Another red-haired supporter joined the battle, and soon the small space in the tavern was engulfed by chaotic shouting and cursing.

In the corner, Kaku closed his eyes, veins popped up on his forehead, and he clenched his fists to suppress the impulse in his heart.

He really wanted to rush up and shout that the Straw Hat Boy had awakened to a new form and his strength had greatly increased, but he still tried his best to restrain himself.

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Khalifa gave him a wordless look of disdain.

How can a man be so stupid as to quarrel over such a thing?

Just incomprehensible.

"Hey! Look at this! A new bounty has been posted! It's for the Straw Hat Pirates!!"

An excited shout came from outside the door, finally interrupting the ongoing fierce quarrel, and the tavern suddenly fell silent.

One second later.

"Show me now!"

"I want to see Black Snake Reiner!!"

"Don't grab it! You're going to tear it apart, you bastard!"

"There's more! There's more outside!"

The pirates who were watching the quarrel just a second ago suddenly rushed towards the door almost at the same time.

"This time the speed is too fast."

Kaku and the other two looked at each other, all a little confused. Bruno nodded, used his ability to go outside and get one, and then came in through the wall.

Less than half a day after the World Government released the report on the war, the newly determined bounty was obtained by Morgans.

The World Economic News bribed the printing press to send the bounty to all parts of the world at the fastest speed possible, before the world government could.

As for the reason for doing this, it is naturally because of Luffy’s latest bounty photo.

"Wait, this is Straw Hat?!"

"What's going on with this form?!"

Looking at Luffy's photo on the wanted poster, the pirates were shocked. It was actually the Nika form that the Five Elders tried to hide.

As for the one below, it was so long that they had to count the bounty on their fingers.

"52 million Baileys!!"

On the blue sea, a white sheepshead boat is sailing slowly.

The seagulls flew over and lightly touched the sea water, causing ripples. The fish that were floating on the water and blowing bubbles were startled. They flicked their tails and disappeared with a thud, leaving only a large number of dense and fine bubbles floating.

"Come and see, brothers! Shocking news!"

On the lawn deck, Usopp grabbed a bounty notice and shouted excitedly:

"Chopper! Come see Chopper! Your bounty has skyrocketed!"

Hearing this, the people in the cabin came out curiously one by one. Luffy stretched out his arms, grabbed the railing on the second floor, and flew out like a rocket.

"Let me see! Let me see!"

Chopper flapped his little feet and jumped over the guardrail impatiently, full of excitement.

Others couldn't help but become curious. What kind of bounty amount could be considered a huge increase on a pet worth 1000 berries?

"Dang-dang-dang!"

Usopp grinned and stretched out his hand, showing the bounty order directly to Chopper.

The picture above is the same as always, a cute photo of Chopper holding marshmallows, but the string of numbers below is almost twice as long!

【Ship's Doctor Tony Tony Chopper】

[Reward amount: 3 million berries!]

"333 million Baileys!!"

Chopper was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. The bounty order in front of him seemed to be emitting a dazzling golden light, making it difficult for him to look directly at it.

"The title has also been changed from pet to ship's doctor. That's pretty impressive, Chopper."

Robin knelt down, smiled gently and touched his head.

“Hehe~~Hehe~~”

Chopper's face flushed, his eyes completely lost in the heroic fantasy in his mind, and he fell backwards with a happy face.

Reiner shook his head and sighed:

"It's ruined, completely ruined, my pet Chopper is gone forever."

However, there are only a few of them, and a full-scale battle broke out with the navy. It is hard for Chopper's performance not to be conspicuous, so it is normal to change the previous bounty.

It should be said that if there were still only a few thousand Beli after this battle, Reiner would have suspected that Chopper was an undercover agent of the World Government.

"Luffy, Reiner, this is yours."

Usopp said as he spread out all the bounty notices in his hand on the lawn.

"Sun God Nika? Luffy's title has changed."

"The bounty is 52 billion berries!!"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they quickly looked at Reiner's bounty order.

"Necromancer Lord Reiner, bounty 56 billion berries!!"

"The bounty on you two alone has already exceeded 10 billion!!"

Chapter 422: War Land Kingdom, Elbaf

"It really has exceeded 50 billion."

Reiner smiled, sat down cross-legged on the lawn, picked up his bounty order and looked at it.

"Among the pirates still alive today, we are the only two who have reached a bounty of 50 billion."

"Hee hee hee."

Luffy grinned proudly, laughing happily, just like a child who hears others praise him as the best.

Although he was not as tall as Reiner again, he was still a little unconvinced, but he was already very satisfied.

Luffy's bounty has increased a lot, but to be honest, Reiner feels that 52 billion Beli is not an exaggeration.

The Beehive Island incident, the Battle of Egghead, and the awakening of the fruit to the Nika form are all major events with extremely far-reaching influence.

The last-minute support from the Whitebeard Pirates and the Giant Pirates also indirectly demonstrates the appeal of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Based on a comprehensive assessment of the entire force, they are now the undisputed overlord of the sea, a title that no previous Four Emperors could reach.

Even so, Luffy's bounty is still lower than Roger's back then.

As for Reiner, his performance in the Aegheda War was already the undisputed number one in the world, and the unprecedented bounty of 56 billion was awarded to him without any controversy.

Speaking of controversy

Zoro was wearing a loose green robe, with his arms folded in front of him. He glanced at Sanji's bounty order on the ground and raised the corner of his mouth coldly.

"Tsk, only 25 billion Baileys? Fourth place."

"Huh? Who are you talking about?!"

Two flames of anger burned in Sanji's eyes. His gaze quickly swept across the ground, finally locking onto Zoro's photo, and then his eyes moved to the bounty below.
