Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Ah, what's up with you?"

Faced with such a casual question, Big Fish trembled a little.

Even though it doesn't have much intelligence, its large size is not for nothing.

In its eyes, the humans in front of it exude the breath of death.

thump!

The big fish disappeared above the sea in the blink of an eye and swam quickly towards the deep sea.

But it didn't know that because the noise was so loud, a huge wave swept towards the man.

"Ah, this is really troublesome."

Kuzan looked at the waves that were more than ten seconds in front of him, exhaled a breath of cold air, and said helplessly.

Then, he stretched out his right hand, and an extremely cold gas appeared in front of the man.

【Ice Age! 】

The cold air was like a swarm of locusts, crashing into the huge waves.

Instantly, the cold air attacked and the roaring wave just now was gone.

At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped and it was motionless, turning into an ice sculpture.

Like a work of art.

then--

Click!

Cracks began to spread and grow on the ice sculpture.

As the sea breeze blew, the huge ice sculpture broke into small ice cubes and fell into the sea.

For a moment, the surface of the sea seemed as if nothing had happened.

Aokiji was about to continue pedaling when he saw a news bird flying towards him.

After paying Bailey, Aokiji opened the newspaper.

The front page headlines are still the follow-up to the Alabasta incident.

This time we are digging deep into the many people involved in this incident.

Aokiji casually glanced at the photos in the newspaper.

Suddenly, his eyes focused and he found a familiar figure in the corner of a photo.

"The first half of the Grand Line?"

After a long silence, Aokiji murmured to himself:

"Let's go there."

A moment later, the bike was sailing on the sea.

Because of a newspaper, he changed direction.

-

At the same time, the Straw Hat Pirates were also looking at the same newspaper.

"What kind of existence will the new pirate who defeats the Seven Warlords of the Sea become?"

Usopp read the contents of the newspaper and looked at the smiling face of Luffy in the photo.

He said with emotion:

"This time, the one who stole the show should be Luffy."

Nami also nodded:

"After all, the entire Alabasta now regards Luffy as a hero who saved the country."

After saying that, Nami turned her head and looked to the other side.

There, Luffy was saying something excitedly in front of Bai Ye.

"Hahahaha, Bai Ye, this time, my bounty will definitely be higher."

Luffy sat on the table in front of Byakuya, his hands on the surface and his feet swaying back and forth as he couldn't contain his excitement.

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

Seeing Luffy acting like a child, Bai Ye smiled:

"That's only natural. A bounty of 6000 million is no longer worthy of you."

Then, Bai Ye turned his head to look at the others and said:

"Speaking of which, not only Luffy, everyone should be prepared for the bounty to increase."

Thanks to more or less publicity from Alabasta, plus the support from the World News Agency.

The Alabasta incident caused quite a stir throughout the ocean.

News about the new East China Sea Pirate Group defeating the Seven Warlords of the Sea and saving the allied nations.

It is full of gimmicks.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the Straw Hat Pirates to keep a low profile even if they wanted to.

After all, everyone's battle records were sorted out in the newspaper.

The Navy will also inevitably increase the bounty on a few people.

"Increase the reward? That's exactly what I want!"

When Zoro heard this, he rarely raised the corner of his mouth.

A higher bounty would also be beneficial for what he wants to achieve.

"This time, my reward must be higher than yours, Green Algae Head."

Sanji, who learned the Cloud Leap in the battle, is obviously quite confident about his bounty.

"Huh? Just because you're a lecherous cook?"

Hearing Sanji's provocation, Zoro naturally fought back without giving in.

"Green algae head!"

"Sexy Kappa!!"

.......

"If the bounty is high, does that mean more people will target us?"

Nami decisively ignored the love-hate relationship between Zoro and Sanji and expressed her concerns.

Although she has now adapted to fighting for her partners, she still has——

The idea that it is better to have less trouble than more.

"Hahahaha! I wonder how much my bounty can turn into this time?"

This time, Usopp rarely formed a cowardly duo with Nami, but was looking forward to his new bounty.

He's even thinking of a cool new nickname for himself.

The previous bounty only marked the sniper, which was really a loss of quality.

"Reward!"

At this time, the cute Chopper's eyes lit up:

"I didn't participate in the battle, will there still be a reward?"

Chopper, who has been instilled with the concept of piracy by Dr. Hiluluk since he was a child, naturally has high expectations of having his own bounty order.

"Hehehe, Chopper will definitely have it."

At this moment, Robin suddenly hugged Chopper in his arms and said with a smile:

"After all, it was mentioned in the news. You are the Straw Hat Pirates' ship doctor."

“It’s also a very important role.”

As he spoke, Robin couldn't help but start rubbing.

Who can resist a talking civet cat?

"It's so annoying! Even if...even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy, you bastard!!!"

In Robin's arms, Chopper's face flushed, and he twisted his body and spoke proudly.

Seeing this scene, even Nami's eyes lit up and she forgot her previous worries.

He came to Robin and started to rub Chopper together.

All of a sudden, all kinds of noises rang out in the room.

Robin and Nami's laughter.

Chopper's arrogant shout became more and more anxious.

Also, Sanji's nose was bleeding, and he looked envious...and screamed?

"Bai Ye, will your bounty change?"

"Didn't you defeat that guy?"

Just as Bai Ye was admiring the beautiful scenery, Zoro's voice suddenly rang out.

What he said was naturally the addition.

"Um..."

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"It should go up, but the Navy won't make public the fact that I defeated Kake."

Sengoku would never do such a stupid thing as using his own family's embarrassing events to enhance the reputation of pirates.

So Bai Ye guessed that Bai Ye would most likely handle this matter coldly.

Based on the resolution of the civil strife in Alabasta, Byakuya is in a state of inner tribulation.

Therefore, even if Bai Ye’s bounty will increase this time, it will not increase too much.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Zoro nodded.

He had the same thought, and he was even looking forward to it.

I am looking forward to whether my bounty will surpass Bai Ye this time.

-

Just like that, the Straw Hat Pirates finally ushered in the day when they would set sail again!
