Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

However, Doflamingo's situation was deliberately ignored in the reports.

The reports deliberately shifted the blame for what the Seven Warlords of the Sea did to Dressrosa onto Luffy and his crew.

The title clearly states,

Pirate atrocities! The Straw Hat crew destroys Dressrosa, leaving innocent civilians homeless.

The content further distorts the facts, portraying Luffy and his crew as ruthless pirates.

This is what's known as the "glamour moment" of journalism.

"Oh dear, this is standard procedure. The Navy and the World Economic Herald are in cooperation."

Kuzan and Gion, both former naval personnel, looked rather grim upon seeing the news in the newspaper.

Some things you only truly feel uncomfortable about after experiencing them yourself.

Only the person who wronged you knows how wronged you are.

While the Straw Hat crew's actions in Dressrosa may not have been particularly heroic, it's unreasonable to place all the blame on them.

"This distortion of the facts is going too far."

Perona complained.

"The World Government is the ruler."

Robin said calmly, "It's not surprising that they would do such a thing to maintain their glorious image. Some countries even distort history to achieve certain goals."

Therefore, what she seeks is the truth of this world.

Those blank pages of history that have been covered up.

Brooke, holding the newspaper, suddenly noticed something.

"Gentlemen, the bounty on our pirate crew seems a bit outrageous."

He unfolded the newspaper, which listed the bounties for all the Straw Hat crew members.

Captain Monkey D. Luffy: 5,050,000,000 Berries

[Combatant] Roronoa Zoro: 1.11 billion Berries

[Combatant] Vinsmoke Sanji: 850 million Berries

Nami (Navigator): 10 billion Berries

Princess Vivi: 10 billion Berries

[Archaeologist] Nico Robin: 10 billion Berry

[Ship's Doctor] Tony Tony Chopper: 10,000 Berry

[Nika]: 10 billion Berry

......

Bonnie looked up and counted on her fingers, "All of them are over 100 million... With so many people, could the total bounty have already exceeded 10 billion?"

"Yo ho ho ho, it's true!"

Brook laughed, "The bounties for Mr. Luffy and Mr. Kuzan alone have reached eight billion. If we add the big guys, the total should be around one hundred and sixty billion."

16 billion peles.

This number silenced everyone.

"I think I've... boarded a dangerous ship?"

Perona muttered to herself.

"You're only realizing it now?"

Bonney retorted, "From the moment you boarded the ship, you've been a member of the Four Emperors' crew."

"But this is too outrageous! A pirate crew with a hundred billion yen, how much stuff could they buy?"

"Why is your focus on money...?"

Vivi sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Hahahaha!"

Luffy laughed loudly, "A 10 billion bounty pirate crew! We're really amazing!"

"What are you so smug about!"

Nami slapped him on the back of the head, "Don't you know that the higher the bounty, the more dangerous it is!"

"What does it matter?"

"You're quite optimistic..."

Nami sighed.

That makes sense, though. If they didn't even have that much awareness, they wouldn't have gone to sea with that idiot in the first place.

Chapter 457 I Want to Challenge My Weakness

The new world, with its harsh weather.

The weather in this sea area is incredibly unpredictable. Wind and rain are common, and it's considered lucky if it doesn't hail. If you're unlucky, it might even rain knives.

But for the Straw Hat crew, it was sunny almost every day.

According to Luffy, they have powerful connections; Nami and Vivi's dynamic duo is so skilled that they can influence the severity of natural disasters in a small region.

The weather has been favorable and sunny for the past few days.

To be honest, the Straw Hat crew only saw the 10 billion dollar pirate crew as something new and exciting. Once it was over, it was over, and everything went back to normal.

Luffy didn't really care.

A Yonko with a 5 billion bounty? That's nothing compared to a few pounds of meat.

The adventure can continue.

Luffy is really looking forward to his next travel destination.

Of course, for him, an adventure without becoming the Pirate King is always a little bit incomplete.

"We can't stop for even a moment."

On the Going Merry, Luffy was fiddling with a black and white Vibration Ball, looking rather bored.

Perona got a new teddy bear, and this interest attracted Shirahoshi as well.

The two women both had pink ponytails and looked like sisters.

"Sister Perona, this bear is so cute!"

"Right, right? I named it Kumasi II!"

"Kumasi II?"

"Yes, Kumasi is the first, and this is the second!"

"And in that life?"

Perona couldn't help but glance at the bear standing not far away. When she was swatted away by the bear on Thriller Bark, Kumasi wasn't swatted away with her. Now, no one knows where he's traveling with that ship.

Then again.

For the past two years, there has been absolutely no news about Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He seems to have vanished into thin air since the Impel Down War.

Sanji and Usopp were organizing and checking supplies in the cabin. Large quantities of food were categorized and stored in the storage room connected to the kitchen, while daily necessities were stored in the miscellaneous room.

Every voyage requires a major replenishment, and Luffy and his crew's large-scale purchases and banquets have severely impacted Dressrosa's economy. After all, there are quite a few people on board, including Luffy's huge appetite, so Sanji, as the chef, has to be very careful with the budget.

"Sanji, how many days will this meat last?"

Looking at the mountain of meat, Usopp couldn't help but ask.

"Given Luffy's gluttonous appetite, it will probably take... three days."

Sanji's mouth twitched.

"Three days?! So much meat in just three days?!"

"What do you think? That guy can eat a month's worth of food in one meal!"

Usopp fell silent.

He suddenly felt a little sorry for Sanji; no wonder he cooked so fast, there was a reason for it.

Franky has already begun dismantling the bear's body.

Various tools were laid out on the floor: robotic arms, screwdrivers, welding equipment, and so on. Those who knew him knew that Franky was a shipwright, but who would have known that he was a scientist?

Regardless, Franky did acquire a lot of Vegapunk's technology, so he still has some clues about many things about Kuma now.

"Let's put the issue of consciousness aside for now, since it seems that consciousness is still connected to various aspects of the body."

"There's a problem with the wiring here, and this joint needs to be adjusted."

Franky muttered to himself as he dismantled the device.

With his current skills, he has regained some control over Kuma, or rather, it seems that the person named Vegapunk has diluted Kuma's control, with Bonney, who is next to him, holding the largest share.

This might explain why Nobita always stayed with the Straw Hat Pirates.

Bonnie watched in fear, and when she heard Franky say it could be fixed, she almost burst into tears.

"Thank you, Franky."

"Super! We're all partners!" Franky said, giving a thumbs up. "Kuma is a benefactor to our group too."

"That's right, that's right, don't be so formal."

Luffy laughed and said, "Don't worry, Franky is the best scientist. He'll definitely be able to cure Kuma."

Bonnie nodded, her eyes slightly red.
