Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"Yes, let's go with Lieutenant General Corilon!"

"I have no objection!"

"I agree!"

With the statement from Lieutenant General Corilon, the bounty was set at 130 million Berries.

The words of a Navy Vice Admiral are very convincing!

"Then so be it."

Brannew nodded and continued, "Given that we don't have much information about this person's name, abilities, or specific age, the bounty will be based on his title."

"According to the Loguetown Navy's data, this person possesses both types of Haki, is a Devil Fruit user, excels in close-quarters combat, and is also a swordsman capable of launching flying slashes..."

"..."

Although they had already seen the relevant information, hearing this description still sent a chill down their spines...

Such strength would make someone a force to be reckoned with even in the Grand Line or the New World; it's unexpected that they would appear in the weakest sea, the East Blue...

He's just a "newcomer"!

After glancing at the photo on the whiteboard, Brannew slammed his hand on the table and said, "Let's use the most distinctive physical feature as the standard. The title will be 'Black-Haired Swordsman,' and the bounty will be 130 million Berries!"

This is the end.

The bounty for Rocks has been finalized.

However, this meeting did not end.

The Rogge incident also implicated some other individuals.

Among them, Bucky the Clown, captain of the Pirate Ship F, with a bounty of 50 million Berries, once again demonstrated even greater strength, capable of destroying a medium-sized ship with a single blow.

This is also someone worth paying attention to.

Another criminal who ate the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit should not be overlooked.

The opponent defeated Marine Headquarters Colonel "White Hunter" Smoker and also possesses the ability to use Conqueror's Haki.

Its threat level is even higher than that of Bucky the Joker.

These two were also involved in the Loguetown incident, so it's impossible to ignore them, and a new round of discussion ensued...

Chapter 58 Bounty: 130 Million Berries!

maritime.

The boat is heading towards the inverted mountain.

on the deck.

Rocks was lying down, sipping a drink and basking in the sun, completely relaxed.

Kuina was practicing Observation Haki, using a black cloth and earplugs to block her sight and hearing, and dodging the small sandbags that were hanging from ropes and falling on her.

Nami is taking care of the orange trees, which is one of her daily "jobs." She loves these orange trees very much.

The three of them were busy with their own things, so they didn't feel too bored.

"quack!"

Just then, a newsbird descended from the sky. It wisely avoided disturbing Kuina and Nami, and instead set its sights on Rocks, who was lying flat on the deck.

After landing, it cackled twice at Lockes—"Want a newspaper?"

"Give me one."

Rocks sat up, took out one hundred Berries from his pocket, and handed them over.

"quack!"

After carefully taking Bailey's belongings and putting them away, Newsbird took a newspaper from his backpack and handed it to Rocks.

After nodding in acknowledgment, it spread its hind wings and flew away.

Newsbirds possess a certain level of intelligence and will blacklist those who harm them.

If you want to know what's happening at sea, it's best not to offend the newsbird.

They hold grudges...

Is it a new newspaper?

Nami, seeing the newsbirds land, skipped over.

Leaning on the table, she blinked her big eyes at Rocks: "Did the newspapers report what you did in Loguetown? Are you wanted?"

Lox waved the newspaper: "I haven't read it yet."

"Let's watch it together!"

Nami squeezed in and sat down next to Rocks.

His face was full of curiosity, but also a little nervous: "You'll definitely be put on a bounty, but I hope it's not too high, otherwise it'll be too dangerous for us!"

Rocks shrugged: "It certainly won't be low, at least over 50 million Berries."

"More than 50 million Berries?"

Nami opened her mouth, her tense expression becoming even more pronounced, and muttered, "Couldn't it be a little less? Ideally, it would only be around ten or twenty million Berries..."

It wasn't that she was cowardly, but if Rocks' bounty was too high, they would inevitably face many dangers in the future.

She's only fifteen years old.

I don't want to live a life of constant fleeing right now...

Lox was both amused and exasperated: "Even if someone is chasing us, it will be me and Kuina who deal with them. What are you, a mere navigator, afraid of? Do you think I would let you participate in the battle?"

Nami pouted: "But what if you guys can't beat the enemy? Won't I be in danger too?"

"For my future safety, Xiao Luo, you need to cultivate diligently, and ideally become the world's strongest. That way, no one will dare to provoke us, and I'll be safe!"

"Don't call me by that name!"

Rocks' face darkened.

From then on, Nami no longer addressed him as Captain or Rocks.

Instead, it was the more intimate-sounding, but repulsive, Little Lo...

"Little Luo, Little Luo, Little Luo!"

Nami is rebellious and doesn't listen to Rocks at all.

Nami isn't afraid of Rocks at all; she's the navigator who controls the direction.

This ship can't function without her.

Navigators are just that awesome!

Locus: "..."

I'm too lazy to argue with this little girl.

Rocks opened the newspaper and started reading, and Nami moved even closer, immediately spotting the headline on the front page...

The title is—"A Major Event in Loguetown!"

The title, which was originally quite "subtle," has been simplified.

Moreover, the newspaper reports were clearly "glorified," defining the death of Rear Admiral Dalitz as a "righteous martyrdom."

The entire story revolves around how Dalit was killed by criminals while protecting the town of Rogue...

"The Navy is shameless."

Nami pursed her lips. She didn't have much affection for the Navy to begin with, and now she had even less: "They actually covered up the truth. It was clearly that Navy Rear Admiral who attacked you first..."

"Winning is all about science. Those who control public opinion can say whatever they want. Whether others believe it or not is their business. Anyway, the Navy is all about winning."

Lockes didn't take it seriously.

The World Government and the Navy Headquarters are just like the old US President Trump in his previous life.

They are all winners in their fields of scholarship.

You have to win big in everything.

It's common practice to beautify and embellish one's own side while vilifying and blaming others.

Rocks had anticipated this.

As you continue reading, you'll find a wanted poster.

The wanted poster features a triumphant smile on Rocks' face, with the harbor of Loguetown in the background, clearly taken during his battle with Daritz...

"The black-haired swordsman, with a bounty of 130 million Berries..."

When Rocks saw his title and his bounty, he clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Over a hundred million on my first try?"

"As expected, that rear admiral from the Naval Headquarters is no ordinary rear admiral..."

The first time a bounty was set at over 100 million, it is very rare at sea.

A bounty of 130 million Berries is considered high even in the Grand Line, enough to earn him the title of "Supernova".

Such a high bounty is common in the Great Sea Route, but it's unique in the East China Sea.

It's worth noting that the previous highest was only 20 million Berries held by the dragon, although it was later surpassed by Bucky's 50 million Berries.

But suddenly it jumped to 130 million Berries...

Lox could have foreseen this.

When this newspaper is circulated, it will cause a huge shock throughout the East China Sea!

"One...one hundred and thirty...thirty million...Pele!?"

Nami was so shocked by the number that she almost jumped up.

Her delicate face was filled with shock and fear, and she was almost in tears: "How...how could it be so tall? What...what should we do?!"

This number was too incredible for her to comprehend.

That's 130 million Berries!

The dragon that previously had a bounty of 20 million Berries was her nightmare, and now her captain has suddenly had a bounty of 130 million Berries.

That's a full 110 million Berries more than the dragon!

The thought of the potential dangers ahead sent chills down Nami's spine; she barely managed to scare herself unconscious...

He had indeed fallen for her tricks.

"Little...Little Luo, how about we don't head towards the Great Line?"

Nami turned to look at Rocks, and said cautiously and hopefully, "Find a place to hide and live out the rest of your life in secret... I can bring you food, the kind that lasts a lifetime!"

Locus: "..."

Is it really necessary to be this scared?

No wonder he's one of the cowardly trio from the original story!

"That's 130 million Berries!"

Nami continued to persuade Rocks, telling him about the great horrors that might befall him in the future. She used two absolutes: "The Navy will definitely send a Marine Admiral to hunt him down, right?"

"This is too dangerous! This is too dangerous!"

"..."

Rocks was amused by Nami's words and couldn't help but tap her on the head: "Can you not be so cowardly? It's only 130 million Berries."

"This kind of bounty isn't enough to get a naval admiral to take action. To get a naval admiral to deploy, you'd need to add another zero..."

Chapter 59 Nami: I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die...

Nami asked in bewilderment, "Really...really?"

Lox nodded: "Barring any unforeseen circumstances."
