After staying for a day, they were finally ready to set sail.
The injured Smoker didn't come bother Moya and the others either.
After assigning the underlings and the squad leaders staying behind,
only one main ship from the Moya Adventure Group set sail: the Yanhuang.
Moya had removed the Yanhuang name from the other ships and even changed their colors back to those of ordinary merchant vessels. They were stationed at Bartolomeo's gang port.
They would serve as transport ships for the Moya Adventure Group's merchant fleet.
Aboard the Yanhuang, in the hall, Captain Moya sat at the head.
The seven crew members were navigator Nami, doctor Kaya, cook Rim, assistant cook Rika, gardener/gunner Nojiko, intelligence officer Maddie, and secretary Honey Queen.
The four officers were lookout Buggy the Clown, who had the Bara Bara no Mi; artilleryman El Drago, who had the Oto Oto no Mi; fighter Mao Xiong, who had the Steel-Steel Fruit; and fighter Bartolomeo, who had the Barrier-Barrier Fruit.
The nine squad leaders were hypnotist/dancer Jango, Siamese cat Sham, spotted cat Buchi, swordsman Golass, Krieg with the Battle Spear, Ghost Man Gin, Needle Sword A-Pin, red-haired beauty and cook Carmen, and red-haired delinquent Desaya.
Impressively, Bartolomeo's childhood friend, the red-haired delinquent Desaya, had also managed to get aboard. She refused to get off, insisting on following Bartolomeo.
With no other choice, Moya let Desaya stay aboard.
There were exactly twenty people besides Moya, along with the Sea King Momoo, the battle pet Richie, and a few other little pets.
The Sea King Momoo pulled the ship from the front, making good speed.
Navigator Nami held a spyglass and surveyed the surroundings.
Cook Rim and assistant cook Rika followed beauty chef Carmen's instructions and began preparing a meal.
Doctor Kaya studied her medical books intently while organizing her treatment notes.
Intelligence officer Maddie and secretary Honey Queen sorted through newspapers and intelligence, and kept in contact with Clockwork Island and Loguetown.
Gardener/gunner Nojiko tended to her orange trees and vegetables.
Moya trained his martial arts by sparring with the four officers.
Swordsman Golass and Needle Sword A-Pin fought each other, two lousy swordsmen trading blows.
Ghost Man Gin was actually fighting three opponents at once: Siamese cat Sham, spotted cat Buchi, and Krieg with the Battle Spear. He wasn't losing ground at all.
Dancer Jango helped Nami, checking the sails and the helm.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"We really underestimated Moya. He actually possesses all three types of Haki. He's no weaker than the Supernovas in the Grand Line."
Sengoku stared gravely at the report from Loguetown.
"Dragon also appeared in Loguetown. It seems he saved Straw Hat Luffy and his crew."
Tsuru spoke calmly. She knew the Monkey family well, including Dragon, who had once been an outstanding Marine.
"It's all that bastard Garp's fault. He doesn't know how to teach anyone! First Dragon, and now even his grandson, Straw Hat Luffy. It's infuriating!"
Sengoku slammed a hand down on the ironwood desk, seething with anger.
"Straw Hat Luffy is already on the wanted list. What about the Moya Adventure Group?"
As she spoke, Tsuru took out a stack of wanted posters.
Former Krieg Pirates: Captain Admiral Krieg, bounty of 17 million Beli; officer Ghost Man Gin, bounty of 12 million Beli; Pearl the Invincible, bounty of 8 million Beli.
Former Black Cat Pirates: first mate hypnotist Jango, bounty of 9 million Beli; the Cat Brothers, combined bounty of 7 million Beli.
Former Buggy Pirates: Captain Buggy the Clown, bounty of 15 million Beli; acrobat Cabaji, bounty of 7 million Beli; Beast Tamer Mohji, bounty of 6 million Beli.
Former El Drago Pirates: Captain El Drago, bounty of 18 million Beli; swordsman Golass, bounty of 9 million Beli.
Former Playing Card Pirates: Captain King Bear, bounty of 17 million Beli; Honey Queen, bounty of 7 million Beli; Clown Pin, bounty of 7 million Beli.
The wanted posters for Arlong's crew, who had been defeated, were included as well.
And so on...
"Also, the Loguetown gang member Bartolomeo has joined Moya's ship."
"Most of the people aboard that ship are pirates. Only Captain Moya claims he isn't one. Sengoku, what are you still thinking about?"
Tsuru asked.
"I'd originally planned to recruit that kid into the Marines, but I never expected him to possess Conqueror's Haki. That makes it impossible."
"I, Sengoku, possess the Conqueror's Haki of a Marine who rules the world. Whether these pirates have truly reformed or are only pretending, they must all stand trial before the Marines."
"Since Moya has so many pirates aboard his ship and is avoiding judgment, add him to the wanted list. We'll carry out justice."
Sengoku made his decision.
"Then we should capture and try them as soon as possible, before they grow stronger. What should Moya's bounty be?"
Once the decision was made, they had to act swiftly and resolve the matter.
"He has all three types of Haki, making him even more formidable than a Supernova. He hasn't done much to threaten the seas yet, but he's still a considerable threat. Set his bounty at 100 million Beli for now."
"Understood. We should raise the other pirates' bounties accordingly, too."
"Mm. Analyze their current strength and decide on their bounties."
"Put all the crew members still aboard the ship on the wanted list."
The Marine machine began to turn. Information on each pirate was gathered and analyzed, their strength assessed, and their final bounties set.
One fresh wanted poster and newspaper after another rolled off the presses.
The seagulls carried them across the Four Blues, the Grand Line, and the New World.
"Moya, Moya, this is bad! We've been put on the wanted list!"
Maddie and Honey Queen came running with the latest newspapers and wanted posters, looking for Moya and the others in the training room.
"What happened?"
"Look."
Everyone gathered around as Moya took out a stack of wanted posters.
Moya Pirates, Captain Moya, handsome young man, bounty of 100 million Beli; possesses all three types of Haki; Devil Fruit power suspected to be a memory-based Devil Fruit, unconfirmed; dead or alive.
"They actually gave me a nickname like that! This is infuriating! And they changed my adventure group into a pirate crew. Marines, you're really something."
Moya's eyes blazed with anger, while the women and the other crew members held back their laughter, not daring to let it show.
With a huff, Moya threw down the wanted posters and ran back to the captain's quarters, as if looking for something.
"Hahaha!" All the crew members burst out laughing. The women laughed so hard they nearly toppled over.
"Let's see what our bounties are!" El Drago boomed as he picked up the wanted posters and began to read them aloud.
Buggy the Clown, bounty of 20 million Beli, Devil Fruit User of the Bara Bara no Mi.
El Drago, bounty of 25 million Beli, Devil Fruit User of the Oto Oto no Mi.
