Sirius! Set Sail
Inside a tavern on the Baroque Island.
The bar, which should have been bustling with noise, was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All the pirates sat upright, afraid to speak, afraid to move, and even slowed their breathing.
Their eyes were fixed on the table in front of them, as if it were covered with a beautiful oil painting.
All of this was caused by a group of people at a table in the corner of the bar.
Sirius held up an arrest warrant, looking at it; it featured his photograph.
Below it reads, "Black Wolf Sirius, dead or alive, it doesn't matter."
The bottom line lists his bounty.
Sirius carefully counted the string of zeros, then smiled and said, "It really is a billion."
"It increased by more than 200 million?"
Black Maria did a quick calculation.
"Well, this time it's finally a billion."
Sirius found the string of zeros pleasing to the eye.
This is much better than receiving Numbers with both whole and fractional parts in the past.
"It must be because of the battle where we saved Boss Kaido, right?"
Jack said, "Wasn't that battle quite intense?"
Sirius wholeheartedly agreed.
In that battle, he went toe-to-toe with Kizaru for quite some time.
He even took advantage of the fierce battle between Kizaru and Teacher Kaido to severely injure him!
Such a record, coupled with a bounty of one billion, is truly not an exaggeration at all.
"A billion! That's truly remarkable."
Kozuki Hiyori remarked with a touch of wistfulness.
Although we don't know how much the prices differ between the high seas and Wano Country, the bounty on the powerful Sirius must be astonishing!
"That's right! Big brother is truly amazing!"
Page One had no idea of the purchasing power of a billion Beli, but that didn't stop him from showing his respect to his most admired older brother.
"Hmph, what's so great about it?"
Ulti was very displeased with her younger brother's performance. She sneered, "Sooner or later I'll have a higher bounty than you!"
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Sirius laughed heartily.
Then he noticed Yamato sitting next to him, who was keeping his mouth shut.
He raised his hand and put it on her shoulder. "What's wrong? Why haven't you said anything?"
"Sirius!"
Yamato, feeling wronged, pulled out her wanted poster. "Why hasn't my bounty increased?!"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Sirius laughed and said, "Who told you to be defeated by Kizaru in the previous battle? Of course the Navy will think you're too weak and not a threat."
"Sirius!"
Yamato immediately bristled, lunging forward to grab Sirius's face and give it a good squeeze and pinch, yelling, "You've gone too far!"
Sirius into laughter.
"You're still laughing!"
Sirius gently patted the back of the girl who had fallen into his arms.
"Alright, you idiot, don't worry about it. Bounties will keep increasing as long as you're strong enough."
"Your future bounty will definitely far exceed one billion."
Yamato blinked. "Really?"
Of course.
Even now, if Yamato's strength were converted into a bounty, it would definitely be worth a billion.
In the original story, Jack's best friend had a billion dollars!
"Very good!"
Yamato then smiled happily again.
Kozuki Hiyori watched this scene quietly, a slight smile playing on her lips. "How wonderful."
"Right?"
Black Maria, sitting next to her, smiled and said, "I've seen this kind of scene since I was a child, so I've always felt this way."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They really get along.
After calming Yamato down, Sirius yelled at the top of his lungs, "Boss, where's the food?"
After munching on fruit for a long time, Sirius also wanted to eat some normal food.
"Coming, coming!"
The bar owner hurriedly placed the food on the table in front of Sirius, slowly piling it up.
Well then, there's nothing more to say, let's eat.
The Sirius Pirates launched an attack on the first enemy they had encountered since their formation.
Seeing that Sirius and his crew were engrossed in their food and completely ignoring them, the other pirates in the tavern gradually relaxed.
Some pirates began to quietly slip away.
After those watching Sirius didn't pay any attention, more pirates quietly slipped away.
However, not all of them chose to leave.
Several pirates exchanged glances, then simultaneously adopted a fierce expression.
They approached Sirius little by little from behind.
Sirius was completely oblivious and continued to feast on his food.
Then--
"Go to hell!!"
These pirates attacked simultaneously.
Blades, guns—every weapon at their disposal was used, and the pirates wore expressions of indescribable excitement.
"We'll take a billion heads!!"
The attack was about to land on Sirius.
But the next instant, these pirates' eyes rolled back, they foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground.
Sirius was, of course, eating.
Maria shook her head helplessly. "There really are always these kinds of guys, no matter where you go."
"The world is so big, we can't expect everyone to be smart," Jack said.
At the island's port, a large number of pirates flocked in, boarding their pirate ships and preparing to leave.
A group of monsters came to the island, and they dared not stay there any longer.
The ships quickly raised their anchors and lowered their sails, preparing to leave the island inhabited by the monster.
But at that moment, a white beam of light shot out and pierced directly into the sea.
Then, in the next instant, the entire harbor was frozen solid, and all the ships were immobilized on the sea.
This ability is--
The pirates turned around in alarm and saw several figures slowly approaching.
Sirius laughed and said, "Excuse me, gentlemen, now is... time to rob!"
That's just how the pirate industry works; the competition is a bit too fierce.
Sirius drove all the pirates ashore and ransacked them, taking all their valuables.
I could ignore these things when I was with the Beasts Pirates, but now that I'm in charge, I can't ignore them anymore.
Beli is still very useful on this ocean.
It has to be said that the pirates of the New World are quite wealthy; Sirius found Beli on these pirates that were worth the same as his head.
He suddenly felt worthless.
However, this amount of money should last for quite some time.
After having money, you still need a boat.
That makes it even simpler; the port is full of ships.
Sirius and his friends spent a long time choosing, and finally selected a medium-sized two-masted sailing ship.
In fact, given their numbers, a small sailboat would be sufficient.
However, Jack and Maria's sizes were too exaggerated, and small boats were simply not suitable for them, so they had to choose a larger one.
After choosing the ship, Sirius originally intended to buy it, but the original owner of the ship was so enthusiastic that he cried and insisted on giving it to him. Sirius was deeply moved and had no choice but to accept it.
Unable to resist the pirates' enthusiasm, Sirius reluctantly asked them to help replace various items on the ship and move supplies.
The pirates were so enthusiastic that when everything was ready and Sirius and his crew set sail, the pirates on the shore who were seeing them off all showed expressions of reluctance, and a few even shed tears.
"They're all people of strong character!"
Sirius stood at the stern of the large ship, named Sirius in honor of his former flagship, and sighed with emotion.
Jack rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, let's go! The Sirius Pirates! Our destination: the North Blue!"
"Oh!!!"
This time, it truly marks the beginning of an adventure.
"By the way, who's going to design the pirate flag?"
