Bounty Issued! Pirate Fang Yu's Bounty!

The waves crashed against the hull.

Pirate World Fang Yu stretched out a big yawn, feeling the sea breeze that felt like the gentle caress of an eighteen-year-old college girl.

The warship he was on had already left the Calm Belt and arrived near the Red Line in the middle of the Grand Line.

Ivankov emerged from the cabin, saw Fang Yu, and asked, "Infatuated Kid, where are you going again?"

"Sky Island".

Ivankov scratched his afro. "Oh, a Sky Island? Sky Island 're sure this island exists, right?"

"Certainly."

Do you know exactly where this place is?

Fang Yu thought for a moment, "I don't know, it seems to be near Alabasta, or maybe near Water 7, I don't really know, but it should be in the East China Sea."

Ivankov asked in confusion, "Is there an island called Sky Island in these places? I Taiqing."

Fang Yu patiently explained, "Because it's called Sky Island, it's an island in the sky."

"Ah! There are places like this? Is that your dream place?"

"Well, not really. How should I put it? I need to go to the Sky Island to find a Devil Fruit."

To make it sound plausible, he covered his mouth and face and cried, "With that fruit, I will be able to confront the Celestial Dragon head-on and rescue my beloved Xiao Yao."

But at the same time, he was thinking: 'If I could get the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I'd even chop down the Holy Land, Mary Geoise! What, Xiao Yao? Don't know her!'

When he started crying, all the ladyboys on the boat started crying too, and they couldn't stop.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Fang Yu could barely contain his laughter before continuing, "But I should go to Reverse Mountain first, right?"

"No need, no need. We have the navy's Wind-Powered Warship, and the bottom of the ships is also equipped with hard Seastone, so we can use the navy's passages and sail out of the Grand Line through the Calm Belt zone."

Just as Ivankov finished speaking, Lightning, carrying a glass of red wine, came out of the cabin and interrupted, "No, our ship has been marked as wanted. If we rashly head to the Calm Belt, we'll be met with a large number of naval forces."

She pulled out a Navy-issue Den Den Mushi. "I can hear the Navy approaching Impel Down in large numbers, forming an encirclement. If we want to avoid encountering the Navy, it would be best to go to Sabaody Archipelago first and bypass these approaching Navy forces."

"And, sir," Lightning sighed, reluctantly but still saying, "The organization's recent..."

Ivankov nodded. "Understood."

Then Ivankov looked at Fang Yu and said, "Infatuated Kid, we are heading to the New World to support our organization's headquarters. I'm sorry, we can't go with you."

"It's okay, pirates always head towards the New World, they never go the other way, I understand~"

He thought for a moment, "If you're going to the Sabaody Archipelago, then I'll go too. I need to get a boat."

Ivankov gave a thumbs up. "Leave it to me! I know boatmen, I can get you a boat you'll like!"

As the three were talking, several seagulls flew by.

Fang Yu looked up, his Sharingan noticing something still hanging from the seagull's leg, and became suspicious. "Won't this thing give away our location?! Should we shoot it down?"

Ivankov hurriedly stopped him, "No! These are News Coo, a third-party industry outside the Navy and pirates. Both the Navy and pirates need such third parties, whether it's for news delivery or rescue after a shipwreck, they need the help of these flying creatures."

"Understood"

At that moment, the largest seagull in the flock swooped down toward the warship.

It stood on the railing, in front of Fang Yu, and used its foot to pull a stack of newspapers from the cloth bag on its body.

"Gaga gaga~ Gaga gaga~"

The seagulls cried out, Fang Yu turned around curiously, "What does it mean?"

Lightning explained, "It's forcing us to buy its newspapers."

"Hey! There's such a bird?" Fang Yu thought to himself, preparing to slap the seagull and make soup from it.

Just then, Lightning exclaimed, "Wait! What it's holding doesn't look like an ordinary newspaper. This is..."

Lightning stepped forward, trying to grab what the seagull was holding, but the creature squawked twice and flew up, then circled in place instead of moving.

The meaning is quite obvious.

Give me the money.

Lightning then reached into his pocket and tossed out a few slips of paper. The seagulls caught them expertly, cawing a few times before scattering what they were carrying in their claws. The transvestite crew members on the ship picked up these slips of paper with the same contents and began to read them.

"This, this is!"

Ivankov picked up a card too, and was dumbfounded when he saw what it said!

This is not a newspaper.

This is

Fang Yu's Wanted Poster!

"Three hundred million Beli"

Lightning looked at the numbers and was somewhat surprised.

Even the new generation of Supernova only have a bounty of over 100 million, not 300 million.

It took Fang Yu a while to process what he saw about the bounty amount.

If he remembered correctly, Luffy defeated Buggy, Rocky the Black Cat, Admiral Krieg, and Arlong the Fishman, and after the Alabasta incident, he defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, caused chaos on Enies Lobby, provoked the World Government, defeated CP9, and rescued Robin.

It barely rose to a bounty of 300 million Beli.

Even after participating in the escape from Great Underwater Prison and the Summit War, Luffy's bounty only rose to 400 million.

Fang Yu muttered to himself, "How come my escape from prison is equivalent to others doing dozens of 'bad things'?"

The experienced Ivankov said with a serious expression, "Infatuated Kid, you'd better watch out. The World Government has definitely identified you as the leader of this prison break. You're a prime example, and they will definitely go to great lengths to arrest you!"

Lightning also looked worried. "I've never seen anything like this before. If you go to sea with a bounty of 300 million, not only will the Navy cause you trouble, but pirates and bounty hunters will also be watching you, because no one knows exactly what you did or how your bounty was raised."

Ivankov was worried that Fang Yu would have a mental breakdown, so he immediately comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. We all have bounties, yours is just a bit higher. As long as you are careful, nothing will happen. Besides, you are quite strong and can fly. There aren't many people who can catch you on this ocean!"

"Understood"

Fang Yu silently rolled up and put away his Wanted Poster. Amidst the worried expressions of Ivankov and Lightning, who assumed he would be deeply affected, he spoke:

"It's alright, I'll just take one for now. But soon, my Wanted Poster will cover an entire wall as the bounty amount keeps soaring!"

"Forehead"

Ivankov and Lightning exchanged a glance, realizing they had been worrying unnecessarily.
