SailorStar9: With Chapter 234 uploaded, I present Chapter 235 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Guest: About Desire, it'll be as per the filler arc, so there won't be any change. I also have the tendency to skip over filler arcs.

Pairings: Married!Ace/Sasha, Sibling!Luffy/Sasha, Sibling!Sabo/Sasha, Background Protector!Law/Sasha

Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichirō-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 235: Arc 14: Revealed! The Straw Hats' Bounties Upgrade!


"We can't see Dressrosa anymore." Sasha approached the deep-in-thought Law, the older pirate was looking out at sea from the quarter deck. "You achieved your goal by taking out Doflamingo, didn't you? What will be your next step?"

"As promised two years ago, Thalassa-ya," Law addressed the water wielder. "My blade is yours."


"Look around as you like!" Bartolomeo invited the Straw Hat crew onto his ship, Going Luffy-senpai. "This is the Barto Club's pirate ship that's filled with love for the Straw Hats. It's call Going Luffy-senpai! It was the Straw Hats' first pirate ship and a dear friend: the Going Merry!" he introduced the dome that donned the bottom of the mast. I duplicated it's bow as a homage. I want you to take a good look at this curve." he slid down the curved duplicated arms of Luffy that donned the sides of the main deck. "I asked a woodcrafter to duplicate Luffy-senpai's Gomu Gomu hands just like the real ones."

"Could it be..." Robin pointed to the stern.

"Yes, Robin-senpai." Bartolomeo nodded. "You have a good eye. It's a homage to Chopper-senpai's horns."

"Then, those orange trees are..." Usopp blinked. "

"There're a homage to the orange trees that Nami-senpai took from Bellemere-san's grove in Coco Village." Bartolomeo confirmed.

"I'm so moved." Franky teared. "Look how nerdy those details are. Everywhere you look, you feel a sense of fun. It's filled with super love!"

"Oh shoot, a nerd has stirred a pervert's mind." Sasha muttered.


"Bartolomeo, just hurry up and get to Zou." Law instructed.

"Who do you think you're talking to..." Bartolomeo glared.

"I'm counting on you." Zoro looked up from the newspapers.

"Leave it in my hands." Bartolomeo beamed. "Guys! Let's head for Zou at full speed!"

"Anyway, I wonder if Sanji and the others got to the island safely." Usopp wondered.

"Nami was with them, so I'm sure navigation was fine but they were chased by Big Mom's ship." Franky assured.

"I'm worried." Robin admitted.

"Hey, Luffy." Zoro voiced, focusing on a page. "Seems like our bounties have gone up."

"You didn't know?" Bartolomeo blinked. "I have the wanted posters of you all in my room, so come on. Trafalgar, I threw yours out but your bounty has gone up to 500 million." he informed the pirate captain.

"Oh thanks, but I don't care about the price." Law muttered.

"Please take a look at them!" Bartolomeo presented the upgraded bounty posters. "Let's start with 'Straw Hat' Luffy-senpai: your bounty is 500 million Berri! Next 'Thalassa' Sasha-senpai: 400 million Berri! 'Devil Wind' Zoro-senpai: 320 million Berri! 'Devil Child' Nico Robin-senpai: 130 million Berri! 'Cyborg' Franky-senpai: 94 million Berri! 'God' Usopp-senpai: 200 million Berri! 'Black-Foot' Sanji-senpai: 177 million Berri! 'Cat Burglar' Nami-senpai: 66 million Berri! 'Cotton Candy Lover' Chopper-senpai: 100 Berri! 'Soul King' Brook-senpai: 83 million Berri! Except for the people who stood out and showed them how dangerous they could be in the recent incident, everyone went up by 50 million. Ours have gone up by 50 million too. But take a look at that." he pointed at the script underneath Sanji's photo. "For 'Black Foot' Sanji-senpai, the price has gone up strangely high and the text is odd."

"Only alive?" Franky read.

"Since it's Sanji, I bet someone holds a grudge against him over a woman and wants to do the honors themselves." Usopp suggested.

"You're right." Franky agreed.
