At the port, the villagers were helping Luen and the others load enough supplies for their voyage onto the Going Merry.
Belle-mère's tangerine trees were also planted on the Going Merry.
"Is everything ready now?"
Luen looked at Sanji.
"Ah, nutritional provisions are no longer a problem."
Sanji replied.
It was his duty to ensure his comrades had proper nutrition during their voyage.
With Luen, a big eater whose appetite surpassed even Luffy's, Sanji had prepared even more ingredients.
However, Sanji didn't mind the trouble; on the contrary, he meticulously prepared Luen's meals.
Because having Luen taste his cooking was truly a pleasure.
There was no need to mention Marimo; that bastard never said anything nice.
Luffy would just eat silently, at most shouting a few words about how delicious it was.
Usopp would say a few more words, but with bragging as his instinct, his words were too exaggerated and missed the point.
Only Luen could give his cooking extremely high praise from every aspectâcolor, aroma, and tasteâand each comment could pinpoint the prideful aspects of his dishes.
This feeling was truly wonderful for a chef who regarded cooking as their life.
"By the way, where's Nami?"
Usopp curiously looked at Luen.
"She'll be here soon. Nami has her own way of saying goodbye."
Luen smiled.
"What?! Nami is leaving without taking any money?"
Below the ship, Gen-san's eyes widened when Nojiko told him Nami wasn't planning to take any money with her.
"How can that be? That money was earned by Nami risking her life!"
Naba, who had healed Zoro's injuries, also shouted.
"She said she could always steal more. You should know that Nami's decisions don't change, right?"
Nojiko also looked a bit helpless.
Nami loved money because money was her hope for saving her hometown.
But compared to money, Nami loved her family more.
"That fool, we should be the ones grateful to her."
Gen-san's face was filled with guilt.
They hadn't helped much, and letting Nami bear everything was one thingâafter all, if they risked their lives, they would betray Nami's wishes and make her sad. But how could they keep this money?
"Tap! Tap!"
Just then, a series of footsteps sounded.
"She's here."
Luen looked at Nami.
"Nami!"
Hearing the sound, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village all looked at Nami.
"Hurry and set sail!"
Nami lowered her head, not looking at the villagers, and shouted.
Then, Nami suddenly ran towards the Going Merry.
"W-what's going on? Why is Nami suddenly running?"
Usopp looked bewildered.
"The navigator said so, of course we'll set sail. On this ship, Nami calls the shots."
Luen smiled.
"That's right!"
Luffy shouted.
Zoro immediately pulled up the anchor, and Usopp and Sanji also took their respective positions.
"Is Nami really leaving without letting us thank and say goodbye to her?!"
Gen-san, who had watched Nami grow up, immediately understood what Nami meant.
"How could this be!"
The villagers looked shocked.
They still wanted to thank Nami properly and say a proper goodbye.
"Hoist the sails!"
With Luffy's shout, the Going Merry unfurled its main sail and left the port.
"They really set sail!"
"Wait! We haven't properly thanked you yet!"
The villagers shouted repeatedly.
But Nami had already rushed in front of them, looking flustered. Unsure which villagers to thank first, she could only try to stop Nami.
"Wait, at least let us thank you properly before you go!"
A big man tried to stop Nami.
"Nami! I absolutely forbid you from leaving us so casually!"
Gen-san shouted at Nami.
"Luen, is it okay for Miss Nami to leave like this?"
Sanji looked at Luen.
"What does it matter? Nami is free now."
Luen looked at the running Nami, chuckling softly.
The next moment, Nami rushed into the crowd of villagers, constantly weaving through them with the agility of a Cat Burglar.
The villagers couldn't stop Nami at all.
"There!"
Nami passed through the crowd, leaped up, and jumped towards the Going Merry, which had already left the port.
"Nami!"
Nojiko shouted with great worry, seeing Nami's dangerous move.
But the next moment, Nojiko relaxed.
"You're really reckless."
Luen stood at the edge of the deck, opening his arms and catching the rushing Nami, looking at her with affection.
"Because you said I was free."
Nami looked at Luen, smiled brightly, then left Luen's embrace and turned her back to the many villagers on the shore.
"Hmph!"
Nami lightly shook her clothes, and countless wallets fell out.
"Everyone, take care!"
Nami took out a wad of banknotes, turned to face the villagers, and showed a playful smile.
"Ah! Our wallets!"
"You're really bold, you brat!"
"You little cat burglar!"
The villagers all noticed this, then shouted loudly, but as they kept shouting, their words changed.
"Take care, Nami!"
"Be happy, Nami!"
"Thank you very much!"
Nami smiled; indeed, this was the perfect way for her to say goodbye.
"Everyone, goodbye, I'm off!"
Nami's eyes crinkled with laughter as she waved continuously at the villagers.
"I can't believe her. My sister is truly amazing.
Be happy."
Nojiko burst into a smile.
"Hahaha."
Gen-san laughed and sat down.
Seeing Nami's happy smile, he felt truly joyful.
Gen-san also smiled.
Be happy, Nami!
Marine Headquarters! Marineford!
Here, the most elite Marines were gathered.
The Marine Headquarters, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors constituted the three great powers that maintained the balance of the great sea today.
The Marine Headquarters, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, nominally under the World Government, confronted the pirate forces led by the Four Emperors.
However, with the Four Emperors each carving out their own territory, considering them as individual factions, the Marine Headquarters was undoubtedly the strongest among them.
Inside a room.
On a bounty bulletin board, three bounty posters were displayed.
On both sides of the bulletin board, two rows of Marine Headquarters officers were seated.
Each of them bore scars from battles with pirates.
Unlike the branches, the Marine Headquarters faced pirates from the Grand Line, and even the Four Emperors of the New World!
The rank and file of officers here were completely different from those in the branches.
Every one of them exuded a fierce aura.
"So, that crew is no longer something a branch can handle, right?"
Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Kazan said in a deep voice.
"That's right."
Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Brannew, in charge of bounty official documents, pointed at the bulletin board.
"Before they even formed a pirate crew, from defeating Branch Colonel Morgan, their momentum has been unstoppable.
Buggy the Clown, bounty of 15,000,000 Beli.
Pirate Fleet Admiral, Captain Krieg, bounty of 17,000,000 Beli.
Fish-Man Pirate Crew, Saw-Tooth Arlong, 20,000,000 Beli."
Brannew looked at the bounty posters on the bulletin board.
"In the East Blue, where the average bounty is only 3,000,000 Beli, they were all great pirates exceeding 10,000,000 Beli.
But they were all defeated by them."
Brannew shouted.
"Especially!"
"Slam!"
A bounty poster was slapped onto the bulletin board.
"He already gained great fame through reports from the World Economy News Paper.
The user of Conqueror's Haki, before defeating Krieg, this man even clashed his Conqueror's Haki with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Dracule Mihawk!
This man's ambition can no longer be stopped!"
Brannew said in a deep voice.
"Conqueror's Haki!"
The Marine Headquarters officers present had extremely solemn expressions, and some even had sweat on their foreheads.
That was the "King's Aptitude," something even the three highest combat powers of the Marine Headquarters, the three Admirals, did not possess!
Every awakened individual was a powerful figure who carved out their own territory in the Grand Line.
"There had been controversy over this man's bounty before, but this time, considering his ambition to clash Conqueror's Haki with Dracule Mihawk,
And his heinous act of killing Captain Nezumi of Marine East Blue's 16th Branch, led us to set this bounty amount.
A first bounty reaching this amount is an anomaly in this world.
But according to our judgment, this number is absolutely not too high.
Such a terrifying sprout of evil must be extinguished as soon as possible."
Brannew pointed to the bounty.
"Absolutely right."
Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Kazan, who came specifically for this man, expressed his approval.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo, what do you think?"
Kazan looked at Onigumo across from him.
Kazan belonged to the Pigeon Faction of the Marines, while Onigumo belonged to the Hawk Faction.
The bounty amount for a Super Rookie possessing Conqueror's Haki required both factions of Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals to be present for a decision.
"No objections. Such a dangerous individual, this evil must be extinguished as soon as possible."
Onigumo, with a gloomy expression, slowly nodded.
If he didn't have reservations, he would have personally gone to apprehend this seed of evil.
"Then, the bounty amount is confirmed! Inform the world immediately!
'Celestial King' Luen! Dead or alive!
Bounty: 100,000,000 Beli!"
Brannew roared.
"And, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, Straw Hat Kid, Monkey D. Luffy, who earned this man's recognition, bounty: 45,000,000 Beli!"
"Inform the world, and extinguish this evil flame as soon as possible!"
Syrup Village.
"M-Master!"
Merry stumbled into Kaya's study.
"What's wrong, Merry? Why are you so flustered?"
Kaya, wearing glasses and looking at a sea chart, raised her head.
Kaya was waiting for Luen to return. Once her body recovered, she wanted to follow Luen to many, many places.
Just looking at these sea charts, images filled Kaya's mind.
Of course, Kaya, who had never been to the sea, couldn't yet imagine the scenery beyond the ocean. But where they went wasn't important; the key was who she went with.
Luen's image was very clear in Kaya's mind. "Please, follow this!"
Merry took out two bounty posters.
"Luen!"
Kaya saw Luen's bounty poster and immediately stood up, taking it.
Because Captain Nezumi was killed by Luen, the bounty poster for Luen still used the one taken by the World Economy News Paper.
As for Luffy's It also appeared on the World Economy News Paper.
Chapter Body:
That one.
"Clap."
Kaya came to the window and opened it, looking at the distant sea.
Luen's bounty poster was placed at Kaya's heart.
"Luen, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you to take me to the sea."
Kaya tightly hugged Luen's bounty poster, looking at the distant sea, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Baratie.
Luen and Luffy's bounty posters were prominently displayed.
After the meal preparations were arranged, Zeff went to the deck, looking at the sea.
". ~ Such a bounty, as expected of that man, Sanji, follow them and achieve your dream."
Zeff smiled.
An unknown isolated island.
"Hey! That, that guy is!"
Two pirates were observing the distant sea with a telescope, one of them suddenly exclaiming.
"He, he is!"
The other person quickly ran over, and when he saw the man's appearance, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Hawkeye! What are you doing here!"
A group of pirates surrounded Hawkeye.
"Quiet, I'm not here for you. Where are the kings?"
Hawkeye said.
"Boss, boss!"
A pirate stumbled and crawled towards the depths of the small island.
"Boss! Hawkeye!"
This pirate shouted at a red-haired man with one less left arm and a sleepy face.
One of the Four Emperors! Red-Haired Shanks!
"Yo, Hawkeye, what a rare guest."
Red-Haired Shanks hung his head, his expression gloomy.
Hawkeye, at some unknown time, had already arrived in front of Red-Haired Shanks.
"I'm not feeling well right now, are you from the hospital?"
Red-Haired Shanks didn't even lift his head.
"I never thought of dueling with a guy who lost his left arm, and you're hungover, aren't you?"
Hawkeye took out two bounty posters.
"In the East Blue, I met that interesting kid you once mentioned."
"Hahaha, Luffy, has he been given a bounty?"
Red-Haired Shanks heard this and looked up, laughing loudly at Luffy's bounty poster.
Because of the report from the World Economy News Paper, Red-Haired Shanks learned about Luffy's departure earlier.
"However, there's another pirate that interests me more."
Hawkeye unfolded the other bounty poster. "One hundred million Beli?"
It wasn't the first time Red-Haired Shanks had seen Luen.
Red-Haired Shanks had already seen him on the World Economy News Paper.
But this bounty amount still surprised Red-Haired Shanks greatly.
One hundred million Beli is a very special bounty.
New pirates debuting in the Four Seas, after sailing through the first half of the Grand Line, will reach a unified location, the Sabaody Archipelago.
And a new pirate who quickly rises after entering the Grand Line for the first time and reaching the Sabaody Archipelago, with a bounty of over one hundred million Beli, is called a 'Supernova.'
This is a bounty that only the best among the pirates who have sailed through the entire first half of the Grand Line can have.
However, Luen, who has not yet entered the Grand Line, has been given a bounty of one hundred million Beli, which is a historical first.
It's not an exaggeration to call this explosive news.
"I clashed with that young man using Conqueror's Haki.
That young man's future might be even more impressive than yours, Red-Haired Shanks."
Hawkeye looked at Red-Haired Shanks.
In his mind, he recalled the scene of clashing with Luen using Conqueror's Haki.
He saw in that young man the nascent form of the domineering aura of conquest that the late Pirate King Roger possessed.
Just like when he personally witnessed Pirate King Roger's execution.
Just standing there, he shone brightly.
"Oh?"
Red-Haired Shanks heard Hawkeye's words, and his eyes, somewhat dim from the hangover, flashed with astonishing Haki.
"Well, I'm really looking forward to it, but before that..."
Red-Haired Shanks looked at Hawkeye, revealing villainous eyes.
"Hmm?"
Hawkeye's eyes narrowed.
"Hahahaha! Drink it all! I'm happy today, drink more! Hahahaha!" Red-Haired Shanks pulled Hawkeye, and they began to celebrate.
"'Celestial King' Luen?"
While telling Hawkeye not to slack off on drinking, a red-black gleam flashed in Red-Haired Shanks' eyes.
To receive such praise from Hawkeye, he looked forward to meeting Luen.
And Luffy!
Luen and Luffy's bounty posters quickly spread throughout the world.
In particular, Luen's bounty created a huge stir on the seas.
With the previous report from the World Economy News Paper and this explosive bounty from the Marines,
And the World Economy News Paper once again heavily reported on Luen's performance, especially his clash with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye, making Luen's current reputation on the sea unparalleled.
Receiving a 'Supernova'-level bounty and clashing with a Warlord of the Sea before even entering the Grand Line!
From today onwards, on these seas, who wouldn't know the name 'Celestial King' Luen?!
