61: Chapter 61 The World-Shocking BountyIt was another calm day.The Going Merry sailed on the vast ocean, and everyone on board was doing their own thing.Luffy and Zoro were practicing their swordsmanship in the training room, while Kuina watched from the side, marveling at the power of Luffy's swordsmanship.Coby, Usopp, and the others were developing their Devil Fruit abilities.Usopp had already successfully transformed into a beast.The eagle that Usopp transformed into did not have strong offensive power, but he could not only fly into the sky, but also had the dynamic vision of an eagle.Sanji continued training in Haki, but Luffy also taught him the Six Powers of the Navy and the basic Haki Seed.It could be said that the Straw Hat crew was gradually getting stronger.At this moment, Nami opened the door of the training room and shouted, "Everyone, something bad has happened!You've all been put on bounties!" Hearing this, everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed out of the training room, picking up the bounty posters to read them."Hahahaha, 100 million Berries!The Navy is really generous, 100 million Berries on the first try!ヾ(≧▽≦*)o!" Luffy said happily."Tch, only 80 million Berries?ಠ_ಠ," Zoro looked at the gap between himself and Luffy with displeasure."o(＞＜;)oo," Sanji lay dejectedly on the deck."○( ＾皿＾)っHiahiahia…, Kaya, did you see that?I have a bounty too!" Usopp laughed triumphantly, hands on his hips."o(*￣▽￣*)ブ" I finally have a bounty!Does this mean I'm one step closer to becoming stronger?Coby looked at his bounty poster and thought happily, "Yoshi, brothers, to celebrate that our bounties have all reached over 100 million Berries, let's have a party!" Meanwhile, Sanji was still in a daze, thinking, "Oh no, now all the ladies in the world will laugh at me.I'll never get married." Kuina curiously picked up Sanji's wanted poster and burst into laughter.The others followed suit, laughing along with her.The reason?Because the photo on Sanji's poster was a drawing, and a very ugly one at that.Sanji muttered to himself, "This isn't me at all!" Zoro added insult to injury, "Isn't this you?" Sanji then whispered in Zoro's ear, "&@￥&#*￥&#￥##," Zoro, annoyed, muttered, "Speak like a human!"
Poor Sanji wanted to find Nami for comfort, but to his further dismay, Nami simply hid behind Luffy and stuck her tongue out at him.As for Kuina, Zoro directly blocked his way, leaving Sanji resentfully to prepare a large meal.Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew's bounty posters were distributed all over the world by the seagulls, and different people reacted differently.Windmill Village: "(〃￣︶￣)人(￣︶￣〃), cheers to our little Luffy!" Only the village chief, though sharp-tongued, was kind-hearted: "Don't be silly, it's such a disgrace for the village to have a pirate," but the joy in his eyes betrayed him.Makino, seeing Luffy's bounty poster, was also happy for him.Syrup Village: Kaya happily looked at Usopp's bounty poster and said cheerfully, "Mr.Usopp, you've finally taken a big step on your path to your dream!I can't fall behind, I also need to study medicine diligently!"
Shimotsuki Village: A group of children surrounded Koushirou, demanding he tell them stories about Zoro and clamoring to become pirates like Zoro when they grew up.Koushirou could only helplessly appease the children, thinking to himself, "I certainly didn't teach him to be a pirate."
Cocoyasi Village: Looking at Luffy's bounty poster, A-Jian said, "Straw Hat Kid, you'd better not forget our agreement.No matter how much bounty you have, if you dare bully Nami, I'll kill you!" Baratie: Everyone loudly mocked Sanji's bounty poster, but Zeff was inwardly shocked, thinking, "Incredible!Such a high bounty on your first try!What other power do you possess?"
Meanwhile, aboard the Moby Dick in the New World, Ace was showing Luffy's bounty poster to Whitebeard, saying, "See that?This is my brother.He's definitely my brother; his first bounty is this high!" Whitebeard laughed and said, "I wonder if he'd like to become my son."
In Whole Cake Island, the old woman was stuffing a dessert into her mouth when she saw Luffy's bounty poster and laughed, "Mommy, Mommy, what a terrifying rookie!"
On Onigashima, Kaido stared silently at Luffy's bounty poster, only chugging sake.On an island in the Grand Line, the Red-Haired Pirates were resting.A lookout, peering through his binoculars, spotted a coffin-like ship approaching.Realizing something was wrong, the lookout frantically ran into the woods to find his captain and crew.When he found Shanks and the others, he was breathless.Yasopp, seeing this, offered him a glass of sake.The lookout gulped it down and stammered, "Something's wrong, Hawk.Hawkeye!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hawkeye appeared behind him.Shanks said, "It's Hawkeye.What brings you here for a duel?" Hawkeye replied without hesitation, "I'm not interested in a drunkard.Besides, I have some news that will interest you." He then opened Luffy's bounty.Shanks looked at Luffy's bounty and happily said, "Finally here, Luffy!" However, Shanks was also surprised to see Luffy's bounty: "So high on your first try!As expected of you, Luffy!"
