"So it really went over five billion?"
Lina smiled, then sat cross-legged on the grass and picked up her wanted poster to look it over.
"Among the pirates still alive today, only the two of us have bounties of five billion or more."
"Hehehe!"
Luffy grinned smugly, looking as happy as a child being told he was the best.
He still wasn't entirely satisfied that his bounty was lower than Lina's again, but he was quite pleased nonetheless.
Luffy's bounty had gone up by a lot, but honestly, Lina didn't think 5.232 billion berries was an exaggeration.
The Hachinosu incident, the battle at Egghead, and his Devil Fruit awakening into Nika Form were all events with far-reaching consequences.
The support of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Giant Soldier Pirates at the very end had also indirectly demonstrated the Straw Hat Pirates' influence.
Considering the strength of their entire crew, they were now the undisputed rulers of the sea. None of the previous Four Emperor crews had come close to matching them.
And even so, Luffy's bounty was still lower than Roger's had been.
As for Lina, her strength during the Egghead War had made her unquestionably the strongest person in the world. Her unprecedented bounty of 5.646 billion was entirely deserved.
Speaking of bounties—
Zoro wore a loose green robe, his arms folded across his chest. He glanced at Sanji's wanted poster on the ground and smirked coldly.
"Tch. Only 2.5 billion berries? Fourth place."
"Huh? Who are you calling fourth?!"
Two flames of fury sprang to life in Sanji's eyes. He quickly scanned the posters on the ground until he found Zoro's picture, then looked down at the bounty beneath it.
[3.016 billion berries!]
"What?! No way! The Navy must've messed something up, damn it!"
Sanji clenched his fists
