"That's probably it." Dorag smiled and drank. "Actually, Tulip was very unhappy after being offered a bounty. He once advised me that we should also run a newspaper. We would also post bounties on the navy and comment on the world's pirates.

Strength, build our system.”

"Oh? Isn't this very interesting?" Lin Qi was quite interested.

"I don't agree." Dorag shook his head and looked out the broken window, "The tide of the times is coming, and storms are coming! There is no time."

Lynch nodded.

Sauron was half-understood about their maneuvers and continued to open the bounty order in his hand.

"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, bounty: 430 million!

"Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy, bounty: 550 million!

"Broken Wing Bird" Marco, bounty: 1.22 billion!

"Fire Fist" Porter Carter D. Ace, bounty: 1 billion 10 million!

…

Looking at these bounty figures that seemed out of reach in the past, Sauron couldn't help but feel excited.

"Know yourself and the world!"

"Become stronger! Try to surpass me! - Roronoa!!!"

Hawkeye's voice echoed in my ears that day, seeming to become clearer.

The last sentence gradually faded away, and Sauron repeatedly savored the previous sentence "Know yourself, know the world."

He placed his hands on the three knives at his waist. He could tell which knife was which by the touch of his fingertips without looking.

The Demonic Swordsman and Demonic Swordsman are three generations old, the good and quick swordsman Snow Zai, the great quick sword and the Taoist Ichimonji... The eyes of the swordsmen of the Three Sword Styles are burning with fighting spirit.

Over there, Lynch and Dorag looked towards the door of the shabby bar. Tulip came with Robin, Hancock and Sanda together.

"It seems you know." Robin waved his latest reward order to Lynch.

"Well, it's just a matter of fun." Lin Qi said with a smile, "It looks more festive."

The bounty amount is so scary, how can we be happy? Sangda is speechless, the bounty is the best in the world!

Hancock sat next to Lynch, picked up his bottle and took a sip.

"..."

Lin Qi put his arm around her shoulders, pinched one of her cheeks and touched her.

Hancock was forced to pout his face obediently, frowned and glared at him: "What are you doing?"

Lin Qi smiled, pinched her, and turned back to Dorag: "——In this sea, if you want to become stronger quickly and get a higher bounty value, there is a shortcut, and that is to become a devil fruit.

By."

All eyes were on him.

"In this way, many things will be easier to handle..." Lynch said to himself, "For the World Government, for her."

Dorag looked at Lynch with sharp eyes, "There are rumors that the cause of Whitebeard's final death was bizarre, and at the end, he left a message to the world. What was it specifically?"

"What you asked is actually the same thing."

Lynch pulled the dissatisfied Hancock to stand up and called Robin and Zoro to leave the shabby bar together. "Let's go. Luffy and Ace should be awake. They should all have similar questions. Let's go together."

Explain it."

~~~~~~~~~~

"Nami, your bounty has been increased to 300 million beli?!"

"Even Chopper has 100 million Baileys?!"

Luffy woke up, the blanket slipped off his body, and he looked at Usopp yelling while holding a newspaper on the grass.

Chopper was nearby and he didn't know whether he was squirming or twisting his body shyly, while Usopp quickly knelt down on the ground in frustration and cried silently: "Is it because my Transparent Battle was too successful?

It was completely unnoticed, the bounty was only symbolically increased by 10,000 beli..."

"It's doubled!" Chopper comforted from the side.

"It's gone from 10,000 Baileys to 20,000 Baileys. I don't want this doubling!" Usopp yelled with tears in his eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Luffy passing by with a bandage on his body. Usopp couldn't help but happily held up the bounty sign and shouted: "Luffy! Your bounty has increased a lot!"

"Ah? Oh, I understand." Luffy asked, "Usopp, Chopper, have you seen Ace?"

Nami and Brooke came over and pointed into the distance: "It should be in the woods on the other side of the hillside. They just disposed of the remains of Whitebeard and their companions."

"I'm going to take a look." Luffy ran over there as soon as he heard this.

"This guy is unusually quiet..." Usopp and Chopper touched their chins in unison, looking at Luffy's running back and thinking, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the quality of your senbeans, Chopper?

Did his brain get damaged?"

"Yeah, yes, it's Senzu-" Chopper jumped up and punched Usopp, "How is that possible!"

"Hehe..." Meili, who was sitting on Nami's shoulder, covered her mouth and snickered.

"Luffy! It's okay!" Nami shouted from a distance. Over there, Luffy turned back, grinned, and gave a thumbs up.

Nami smiled helplessly, "What a worrying captain..."

…

When Luffy found Ace, he saw him kneeling there, as lifeless as if he were dead.

The remaining captains of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered around, leaving a space for Ace. Seeing Luffy coming, someone wanted to stop him from disturbing Ace - Marco stretched out his hand to stop him and nodded to Luffy.

, "Go. When he woke up and found out that his father had died, he was really shocked..."

"Ace..." Luffy murmured, and walked step by step to Ace, who was kneeling in the open space and letting the sun shine. He was suddenly startled, and the face of Ace in front of him was filled with tears, and he was crying silently.

.

As if his soul had been sucked out, Ace's face was expressionless, but his tears kept falling.

"It's me, Ace!" Luffy turned to sit in front of Ace, but he had never seen his brother look so fragile. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say. "You...

…”

Ace was still in a daze, and Luffy couldn't see it. After pondering with his brain, he stood up, rubbed his fists, and punched Ace hard in the face.

boom!

Ace was punched and sent flying, and he fell several times before he stopped.

Many of the surrounding Whitebeard remnants were startled and couldn't help but rush over, but were stopped by Marco, Bista and other captains.

"Stop acting like this! This doesn't look like Ace at all!"

Luffy clenched his fists and said loudly, "My brother Ace is a man who will never give up on his companions!"

He pointed at the pirates around who wanted to protect Ace's Whitebeard remnants, "Don't you still have them?!"

Seeing the Straw Hat Boy's words, Bista heard that many brothers around him were very touched, and some were even wiping tears. In fact, everyone has been hit one after another recently, and because of the sacrifice of his father, some of them are depressed and sensitive.

.

"Luffy……"

Ace's mouth was bleeding and half of his face was swollen. He sat up with his hands on the ground and suddenly heard a chuckle from behind him: "You actually let this kid Luffy educate you. Ace, as a brother, it's a bit embarrassing!"

This voice——?!

Ace turned around suddenly, just in time to hear Luffy shout in surprise: "Saab?!"

Sure enough, walking up from a short distance behind Ace was a young man with short blond hair, Sabo, who was dressed similarly to that time, wearing a high hat and goggles, still holding a broken water pipe as a weapon.

"Ace, I'm sorry..."

Sabo walked over step by step, leaned over and stretched out his hand to Ace, smiling with tears in his eyes, "I'm late."

"..."

With half of his face swollen, tears stained his face from crying, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Ace lowered his head and murmured, "No..."

Snap, he took Sabo's extended palm and was pulled to his feet. Luffy shouted excitedly from behind: "Sabo!!!"

Ace looked back and saw Luffy rushing towards him with open arms. No, it should be said that he hit him.

"What are you doing, Luffy! I'm still injured!"

boom!
