"Even Akame and Sheele have bounties?" Lister said with some surprise.
"Ah, I'm afraid I'm even more famous!" Nami said with a faint touch of worry.
She disliked being wanted the most. Because being wanted meant being targeted by countless people.
Lister glanced at Nami and shook his head.
Nami understood him completely! It couldn't be changed!
"By the way, besides us, there is a new wanted poster today," Nami said.
She handed another wanted poster to Lister.
Lister took a look.
Truly a familiar stranger.
[Straw Hat Luffy]
[Bounty: 35,000,000 Berries!!]
"Haha, this kid finally set sail!"
Lister laughed loudly.
"Lister knows him?" Nami asked.
"We haven't met formally, but I have long heard of his great name!" Lister smiled faintly.
"Is that so!!" Nami nodded.
She was long accustomed to Lister behaving like this, so she didn't feel it was strange at all.
"This guy setting sail means the era is about to run wild," Lister sighed.
"Is it that exaggerated!" Nami said in disbelief.
"It's not exaggerated at all!" Lister shook his head and smiled. "Nami, are there any reports on him? I'm actually curious about what he did to get a bounty of thirty-five million!"
Almost all of Luffy's enemies in the East Blue had been taken out by Lister. Except for Buggy the Clown.
Yet, despite this, he was still bountied at thirty-five million in the East Blue, so Lister was somewhat curious about Luffy's experiences.
"There are. Not only does he have one, I have one too! My headline is in a remote corner," Nami said, handing a newspaper to Lister.
Lister read it.
Luffy's events were not described in detail, only that he took down a Marine Base. That was why he was given a bounty of thirty-five million.
Lister couldn't help but smile after reading it.
"Took down a Marine Base again. Sigh. It seems that with me rapidly making a name for myself in the East Blue, the only path left for him was to attack a Marine Base."
While Lister was discussing Luffy, the whole world was also in an uproar.
East Blue, Syrup Village!
"Miss Kaya, bad news!" Merry once again ran into the garden holding a newspaper in a rush.
"What happened again, Merry?" Kaya asked with her eternal gentle elegance.
"Lister's bounty rose again; this time he killed a Shichibukai!" Merry said anxiously.
Although Merry said this, he didn't clearly understand the weight of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Is that so!!" Kaya smiled faintly upon hearing this.
Then, she took Lister's wanted poster and looked at it. She then stored the wanted poster away.
Lister updating his wanted poster was good news to her. This way, she could know Lister's recent situation.
"Not just Lister, even Usopp appeared on a wanted poster!!" Merry took out Luffy's wanted poster and specifically pointed at the back of Usopp's head for Kaya to see.
"Hehe, look, Usopp-kun has also become famous across the sea alongside Luffy-kun!" Kaya laughed.
Half a month ago, Luffy arrived at Syrup Village just like in the original story.
He and Usopp hit it off immediately, becoming friends after just a few sentences. Although there was no Kuro as an opponent, Kaya heard that Usopp was preparing to set sail with Luffy, so she gave them the Going Merry that Merry had designed.
This was also a parting gift between friends. Therefore, Kaya had a relatively deep impression of Luffy.
Cocoyasi Village.
"Bad news, Genzo, Nojiko and Nami's bounties rose again?" Just then, a villager holding a newspaper walked up to Genzo.
"Nani?? Let me see!!"
After Genzo finished reading those wanted posters and the newspaper, he let out a long breath.
"My goodness, Nojiko's change is so drastic. She was so kind back then, but now she has killed so many people in the battles against the Money Pirates and Baroque Works!!"
"Although Nojiko has been tainted black, that kid Lister is really attentive to her. In just these few days, he trained Nojiko to be like this."
"As long as her strength continues to increase, she will always be safe, so we don't need to worry!"
Alabasta.
"Your Majesty, bad news, the Prince Consort made the headlines!" Igaram rushed into Cobra's office holding a newspaper.
Cobra took the newspaper and looked. His gaze softened a bit.
"He had his bounty raised because of our Alabasta affairs."
"Does Vivi know about this?"
"No, since Princess Vivi returned, she has been sleeping in her room and hasn't woken up yet!" Igaram said.
"..." The corner of Cobra's mouth twitched.
He knew why Vivi hadn't woken up even now. She was probably exhausted last night.
"Alright. You may leave. When Vivi wakes up, give the newspaper directly to her," Cobra said helplessly.
"Yes!!" Igaram responded and exited the room.
Interrupted by this matter, Cobra had no heart to handle official business for the moment. He walked directly to the window, looking at the scenery outside.
"Do Vivi and Lister really have a future? Sigh..."
Grand Line, somewhere.
Mihawk looked at the newspaper, an intense sharpness radiating from his eyes.
"My, haven't seen him for a mere ten days, and he defeated Crocodile! Interesting!! Work hard to grow, Lister. Work hard to grow, Roronoa! I have stayed in the position of number one in the world for too long. So long that I'm starting to feel lonely. I hope you grow up as fast as possible, and then entertain me!!"
Various seas of the Grand Line.
"Snake Princess, bad news." A woman rushed to find Hancock holding a newspaper.
"What is it??" Hancock seemed somewhat impatient.
"Shichibukai Crocodile was killed by Godspeed Lister!!"
"Godspeed Lister?? Where did that guy pop out from??" Hancock really couldn't recall who Lister was.
"Lister is that butcher who slaughtered the 16th Branch in the East Blue back then."
"Absolutely no impression! That guy Crocodile was taken out by a rookie who just came from the East Blue! He was too useless. Such a person holds the title of Shichibukai alongside me? What kind of eyes do those Marines have? Choosing such a useless guy just drags down my reputation," Hancock mocked.
Florian Triangle.
"That guy Crocodile is truly useless. To be taken out by a rookie pirate crew, he simply lowered the standard of the Shichibukai! Lister, huh. Pray you don't meet me, otherwise, I will definitely make you into a zombie."
New World.
Dressrosa.
"Fufufufu! I didn't expect the Sand Crocodile to turn into a dead fish so quickly. Godspeed Lister? Ate the Speed-Speed Fruit, a Speed-Speed Human. To show his edge in the Grand Line so quickly. I actually underestimated him! I wonder what shocking moves he will make next, truly something to look forward to!"
Whitebeard Pirates.
"Gurararara, my my. Of course that brat Sand Crocodile who dared to challenge me would die at the hands of a rookie. It seems that this time, the East Blue really produced another fierce man." Whitebeard laughed loudly after reading the newspaper.
"Pops, want to consider taking that guy in?" Marco smiled.
"Gurararara, if he can make it here, I might consider taking him as a son."
Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Wororororo, I seem to have a slight impression of this kid! Right, exposing his Haki, that guy! Godspeed Lister?? Too bad he's not a Zoan type, otherwise, I would have taken him as a subordinate."
Totto Land.
"This kid looks quite handsome, wonder if he's useful." Big Mom glanced at Lister's photo, her eyes lighting up. Almost sixty years old, she was still able to bear children and was perennially in heat.
Red Hair Pirates!
"Captain, look quickly, Luffy set sail!!"
"Nani? Luffy finally set sail??"
Shanks beamed with joy, snatching the wanted poster and newspaper directly. He didn't even glance at Lister, looking straight for content related to Luffy.
After finishing reading, he revealed a faint smile.
"This day has finally come!"
