Leaving Loguetown and the Bounty

After staying for a day, they were finally ready to set sail.

The injured Smoker did not come to harass the Moya Adventure Group.

After arranging the lackeys and the squad leaders left behind, The Moya Adventure Group set sail with only one main ship: the Yanhuang.

Moya had removed the name "Yanhuang" from the other ships and repainted them to look like ordinary merchant vessels, stationing them at Bartolomeo's gang port.

They would serve as the transport fleet for the Moya Adventure Group's merchant business.

On the Yanhuang, in the main hall, Captain Moya sat at the head.

There were seven people in total: Navigator Nami, Doctor Kaya, Chef Rim, Little Chef Rika, Gardener/Gunner Nojiko, Intelligence Officer Maddie, and Secretary Honey Queen.

The four executives were: Lookout Buggy the Clown (Oto Oto no Mi), Gunner El Drago (Oto Oto no Mi), Combatant Mao Xiong (Steel-Steel Fruit), and Combatant Bartolomeo (Bari Bari no Mi).

The nine squad leaders were: Hypnotist/Dancer Jango, Sham the Cat, Buchi the Cat, Swordsman Golass, Admiral Krieg, Gin the Man-Demon, Ah Pin the Needle-Sword, Red-Haired Chef Carmen, and the red-haired hoodlum Desaya.

Indeed, Bartolomeo's childhood friend, the red-haired hoodlum Desaya, had also snuck onto the ship; she refused to leave, insisting on following Bartolomeo.

With no other choice, Moya allowed Desaya to stay.

Including Moya, there were exactly twenty people, plus the Sea Beast Momoo, the battle pet Richie, and a few smaller pets.

The Sea Beast Momoo pulled the ship from the front, maintaining a decent speed.

Navigator Nami held a monocular, observing the surroundings.

Chef Rim and Little Chef Rika followed the beautiful chef Carmen to learn, beginning to prepare a meal.

Doctor Kaya was reading medical texts intently, organizing her treatment notes as she went.

Intelligence Officer Maddie and Secretary Honey Queen sorted through newspapers and intelligence reports, maintaining contact with Clockwork Island and Loguetown.

Gardener/Gunner Nojiko tended to her orange trees and vegetables.

Moya sparred against the four executives, training his physical techniques.

Swordsman Golass fought against Ah Pin the Needle-Sword, a brawl between two mediocre swordsmen.

Gin the Man-Demon was actually fighting three people at once—Sham, Buchi, and Admiral Krieg—without losing any ground.

Dancer Jango helped Nami, checking the sails and the helm.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

"I truly underestimated this Moya. To think he is a user of all three types of Haki; he is no worse than the Supernovas in the Grand Line."

Sengoku looked at the report from Loguetown with a grave expression.

"Dragon also appeared in Loguetown. It seems he saved the Straw Hat crew."

Tsuru said calmly. She was very familiar with the Monkey family, including Dragon, who had once been such an outstanding Marine.

"It's all that bastard Garp's fault! He has no idea how to raise anyone. Dragon is like this, and now his grandson, Straw Hat Luffy, is the same. It infuriates me!"

Sengoku slammed his palm onto the ironwood desk, his anger boiling over.

"Straw Hat Luffy is already on the wanted list. What about the Moya Adventure Group?"

After speaking, Tsuru pulled out a stack of bounty posters.

Former Krieg Pirates: Captain Admiral Krieg, 17 million Beli; Executive Gin the Man-Demon, 12 million Beli; Executive Pearl the Invincible, 8 million Beli.

Former Black Cat Pirates: Vice-Captain/Hypnotist Jango, 9 million Beli; the Cat Brothers, 7 million Beli combined.

Former Buggy Pirates: Captain Buggy the Clown, 15 million Beli; Acrobat Cabaji, 7 million Beli; Beast Tamer Mohji, 6 million Beli.

Former El Drago Pirates: Captain El Drago, 18 million Beli; Swordsman Golass, 9 million Beli.

Former Playing Card Pirates: Captain King Bear, 17 million Beli; Honey Queen, 7 million Beli; Ah Pin the Clown, 7 million Beli.

This included the bounty posters for the defeated Arlong Pirates.

And so on...

"Furthermore, the gang hoodlum from Loguetown, Bartolomeo, has also boarded Moya's ship."

"Most of the people on that ship are pirates now. Only the captain, Moya, claims he isn't one. Sengoku, what are you still thinking about?"

Tsuru asked.

"I originally wanted to recruit that kid into the Marines, but I never expected him to be a Conqueror's Haki user. That is no longer possible."

"I, Sengoku, am the Conqueror of the Marines who rules the world. Whether these pirates have truly reformed or are merely faking it, they must be judged by us, the Marines."

"Since there are so many pirates on Moya's ship and they are evading judgment, put him on the wanted list. Justice shall be executed by us, the Marines."

Sengoku made his decision.

"Then we should capture and judge them as soon as possible before they grow any stronger. What shall we set as Moya's bounty?"

Since the decision had been made, it was time to act with lightning speed and resolve the issue.

"Three-color Haki, even more formidable than the Supernovas. Although they haven't caused much havoc on the seas yet, the threat level is not low. Let's set it at 100 million Beli for now."

"Understood. Shall I adjust the bounties for the others accordingly as well?"

"Yes, analyze their current strength and determine the bounties for all of them."

"We shall issue wanted posters for every crew member currently on the ship."

The Marine machine began to churn; information on every pirate was collected and analyzed, their strength assessed, and their final bounties set.

Fresh wanted posters and newspapers rolled off the presses.

Carried by seagulls, they flew toward the Four Blues, the Grand Line, and the New World.

"Moya, Moya, it's bad! We've been put on the wanted list!"

Maddie and Honey Queen ran with the latest newspapers and wanted posters, searching for Moya and the others who were training in the practice room.

"What's going on?"

"Look at this."

Everyone gathered around, watching as Moya pulled out a stack of wanted posters.

Moya Pirates, Captain "Beautiful Youth" Moya, bounty 100 million Beli. Possessor of three-color Haki, Devil Fruit suspected to be of the memory type, unconfirmed. Dead or alive.

"They actually gave me such a nickname! It's infuriating! And they changed my adventure crew into a pirate crew. Marines, you've done it now."

Anger flared in Moya's eyes, while the women and other crew members held back their laughter, not daring to act out.

With a huff, Moya tossed the wanted posters aside and ran back to the captain's quarters, seemingly looking for something.

"Hahaha!" All the crew members burst into laughter, and the women were laughing so hard they were doubled over.

"Let me see what our bounties are!" Loudmouth El Drago picked up the posters and began to read them aloud.
