Sailing Forward! Bounties Reveal!


"You raised the tax again?" asked an irritated Nami to a News Coo, in which this one nods to her question. "That's it, raised even more and I'll stop buying it," she said while paying the amount asked before the bird flew away.

"You read the newspaper to stay informed, yet you won't pay for it if it gets more expensive?" Gin, who was coming down from the crow's nest, questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Duh! I might've accepted life as a pirate, but I won't be a penniless pirate! I want enough money to roll around in," she shot back in berry symbols in her eyes.

"Would the two of you keep it down? I'm trying to finish my newest creation," Usopp called as he was sitting down with several science materials. "My Special Attack: Tabasco Star will be a deadly wound, whoever gets hit with this won't have a snowball's chance in-" he didn't finish as Luffy suddenly slams against him, causing the sniper's hand to jolt, splashing searing hot tabasco sauce in his eyes. "AAAAAAAH! IT BURNS!" He commenced screaming while holding his eyes.

"Ah, come on Sanji! Let me have one!" the captain shouted at the blond cook that was guarding the tangerine grove of the ship.

"Hell no! These are Nami-swan and Nojiko-swam tangerine orchard, I won't let anyone lay a finger on them!" he shouted before his eyes turned into hearts and he looked at both girls, "Nami-swan! Nojiko-swam! Can you see how well I'm...protecting…your trees?" He said as his eye suddenly lost color.

"Yes Sanji, we can see," Nojiko responds, although she wasn't looking at him, she was busy petting Seth's cat ears while having his head rest on her thighs. The auburn-haired had the most relaxing face he could ever make, even purring at the affection.

"Why…Why him and not me?!" Sanji was on the floor, crying and slamming his fist.

"Is no one going to help me?!" Usopp yelled, still covering his eyes in pain.

"Hmm...The world is going nuts, there was another coup d'état in Vira…" Nami said as she flipped a page in her newspaper. When she did, two small pieces of paper fluttered out, catching everyone's attention as they landed on the ground. Their reaction was instant.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"YOU GUYS, MY EARS!"

"SERVES YOU RIGHT!"


(Marine Headquarters)


"...So you're saying…Our men…could not do anything?"

That was the question of one of the elite officers that have gathered in a small room to discuss the affairs of East Blue.

"Yes," the one in charge, Marine Commodore Brannew, says as he shows his comrades three wanted posters.

Buggy 'The Clown'

15.000.000

Kuro 'Of the Thousand Plans'

16.000.000

'Foul-Play' Krieg,

17.000.000

'Saw-Tooth' Arlong,

20.000.000

"These four pirates were the terrors of the East Blue, with bounties over 3 million…and now, they have been destroyed." He said while holding two pieces of paper, "Buggy and Krieg were beaten by this boy alone, who also attacked Former Captain Morgan, who was removed from his status after finding out his evil deeds." He said as he placed Luffy's face on the wall, "Arlong was decimated, totally broken from head to toe, his left eye is severely damaged and his nose was removed by this boy, who also broke Nezumi and Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates, who was rumored to have being executed three years ago." He places Seth's face on the wall. "These two are together and have done what the Navy couldn't do, so it has been decided that these two will have the highest bounties in all East Blue!" He said as he looked at the bounties.

Monkey D. Luffy

Aka; 'Straw Hat' Luffy

30.000.000

Lionel D. Seth

Aka; 'Lion King' Seth

40.000.000

At the same time, inside an office of Marine Headquarters, was a big old man, wearing a white cloth uniform with several medals, he had white hair and beard, in his mouth was a large cracker as he munches on it hard, his eyes shadowed by his hair before he forms a smile.

"Bwahahahaha! They are my blood, my stupid grandson and stupid nephew sure know how to leave destruction! And Seth destroyed Arlong?! Bwahahaha! My training did his work!" Laugh at the man known as Monkey D. Garp, the Hero of the Marines. "Although...when I find them I'm going to beat them up for becoming pirates!"


(Meanwhile, in Dawn Island)


"Holy Shit! 30 million and 40 million!"

"That's…70 million berries all together!"

The inhabitants of Fushia village were astounded that Luffy and Seth had the biggest bounties in all of East Blue. They started to celebrate the birth of new pirates…well, almost everyone.

"WOULD ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!" Yelled an elderly man with glasses, "Honestly, what's so good about our village being the home of two pirates?!" He asked, but nobody cared, making the old man grumbled in annoyance.

Suddenly, a woman that looks to be the bartender of the bar walks up to him, "Come on Mayor Woopslap, don't be like that," she says before looking at the posters, "Look at Luffy and Seth, they must be having so much fun." She chuckled out.

"Makino, a criminal is still a criminal! Their infamy will surely bring shame to our village!" The mayor said

"Are you worried about them going to fulfill their dreams?" Makino asked as she brought the mayor his drink.

The old man just looks at his drink, "Their dreams…or their destinies…"


(In an Island, somewhere else in the Grand Line)


On a small island covered with a slightly dense forest, two pirates were staring at the sea in a slight daze. It seemed that they had been drinking heavily and were suffering from a rather big hangover. But their lazy daze was abruptly shattered when they saw a boat approach the island; a boat shaped like a coffin.

"Ohh shit! It's Mihawk!"

As the coffin boat hit land, Mihawk stood up and approached the two horrified men with his usual cold stare. "No need to panic, I'm here to see your Captain," he said emotionlessly.

A few minutes later, Mihawk stood before a man with red hair and three large scars on his left eye, looking all hungover.

"Mihawk…This is a surprise," the man says with a hint of annoyance, "As you can see, I'm not in a good mood, have you come to fight me?"

"I believe I told you that I have no desire to fight a one-handed swordsman, I just came to show you something." the warlord said as he took out Luffy's wanted poster. "Met this boy two weeks ago, he reminds me of the boy you talked about from Fushia Village. Is this the same kid?"

When the man took the poster to his face, he grew a smirk as the men behind stood up with sheer astonishment. "...So you emerged…Luffy." said none other than 'Red-Haired' Shanks, captain of the Red-Haired Pirates. "Men! Break the booze!"

"But Captain, what about your hangover?"

"Forget it! How can I not drink on such a momentous occasion! Come on and join us too, Mihawk!" Shank said as his men commenced to disperse the drinks.


(Meanwhile, also in the New World)


"Well, you seem super happy today, Second Commander. What's the occasion?" asked the voice of a blonde man whose heads resemble a pineapple, wearing an open purple cardigan with a blue Cross tattoo on his chest, a long, turquoise sash, and blue pants.

The one he was talking to was a young black-haired man wearing nothing but black pants and an orange hat. He had freckles on his face, had the words 'ASSCE' on his right arm (the first 's' is marked with an 'x'), and on his back was a skull and cross from one of the strongest pirates in the world. He was smiling while looking at the new wanted posters.

"Nothing Marco…Just that my two brothers finally set sail into the sea," he said as he stood up, putting his hat back on his head. "And just had a feeling I will be meeting them soon enough." He smirked as he looked at the sky.

"Really? Didn't know the great Portgas D. Ace had brothers." The man named Marco said with amusement, earning a laugh from Ace.


(Back at East Blue, somewhere in the ocean)


"Grrrrrrrrh! Words can't even express this bullshit!" Yelled no other than Buggy the Clown as he throws a knife at Luffy's poster, which was stabbed at the mast of his ship.

After his defeat from the Straw Hat bastard, Buggy was stranded on an island, it took him five days to build a raft and set sail and look for his crew. After a long journey, feel with joy, adventure, tears, and excitement-

"WHY ARE YOU TELLING THEM ABOUT THAT?!"

Why not? Is already canon in the manga and the anime. Anyway, on his travels, he received help from someone, which he gladly accepts, and after traveling, Buggy found his crew and his body parts. They all cry to know that their captain was alright…

Bunch of wussies.

"FUCK YOU!" All the crew yelled at me.

"Anyway…I'M SO MAD!" Buggy screams on top of his lungs, "What were they thinking?! This kid pisses me off!" He threw more knives at the wanted poster yet again.

"What are your commands, captain?" Cabaji asks his captain.

"Obviously. We are going after that brat," Buggy answered with a stern voice before smiling evilly, his eyes looking at their destination. "And if we are lucky…I know exactly where he is going."

"That's good, Captain Buggy," the clown pirate turned to the person that helped him recover everything, "At least we'll get the surprise advantage." Said the voice of a woman.

She was a slim curvaceous woman with long wavy black hair, she was dressed in a pearl necklace, a bikini top that had covered her big breasts, exposing her slim belly, had tight Capri-length pants, and shoes. She also had lipstick on her face and in her arm was a big Iron Club Mace.

"Yes…Although, you still haven't told me what you have against Straw Hat." Buggy said, making the woman chuckle.

"Hehehe…is not that brat I have business with," she said before looking at Seth's poster, "Is this one who I have business with." She said.

Buggy looked over his shoulder and raised an eyebrow, "The blonde one? What did he do?"

"...Let's just say," she licks her lips before kissing the poster, "He owns me a date."

"...EEEEEEEEEH?!"


(Back with the Straw Hats)


"WOOOOOOOOO!" Luffy was the happiest boy in the world, "I have a bounty! This is awesome!"

Usopp read the poster out loud, "Dead or Alive…300.000.000 berries!?"

"Not only Luffy but Seth too," Gin said, picking the auburn-haired poster, "...400.000.000?!" he said in amazement, shocking everyone, including Seth.

"What?!" A stretch arm grabbed the poster from the Demon's hands and took it away, "No fair! Why does Seth get a higher bounty than me!?"

"Fuck that! Why don't I have a bounty?!" Sanji exclaimed.

"Hey…You know what this means?" Seth, standing up and smiling at Luffy, "It means I'm the captain of the Straw Hats Pirates! New Dream, I'm becoming the King of the Pirates!"

Luffy had a face of terror when Seth said that. "NOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed out loud earning a laugh from everyone, but not Nami.

"How can you two be laughing at this?!" She asked, "Don't you see what this means?!"

"Calm down Nami," Nojiko placed a hand on her sister, "For a pirate, this is normal, especially since our boy is getting stronger to protect us." She said to her, making Nami blush.

"ALRIGHT MAN! TO THE GRAND LINE!"

"YEAH!"

..

.

After a while, everyone calmed down for a bit, Nojiko was now tending the oranges, Gin returned to the nest to watch while training his tonfas, Nami was now resting in her sun lounger, reading the paper and Sanji went inside to prepare the meal.

"Hey Zoro, let's play tag!" Luffy said to Zoro, who was making sure the sail's ropes were okay.

"Huh?!" it was what the swordsman could say by his captain's petition.

"Tag?! Yes, come let's play tag!" Usopp joins in.

"Haven't played that in a while." Seth joins in as well.

"How old are all of you? Seven?" Zoro asked as he stood and yawned, "Anyway, I'm sleepy, I'm going to get a quick nap before dinner." He began to walk away.

"Wow…I didn't know you were scared over a simple game of tag," Usopp said with a smirk, making Zoro stop.

"What...did you say?" The green-haired man growls out.

"Naw, he's just too old and too smelly to catch up with younger boys than him at a simple game." Seth's comment made Zoro look at them with dark eyes.

"Zoro! You suck so much!" Luffy laughs out. That was the last straw.

"That's it! I'm killing the three of you!" With that, the green-haired swordsman commenced chasing after the three stooges, who kept laughing and taunting him.

As they goof around ("I'm not goofing around!") they never saw the wasted ship that passed through them…until the ship turned around and was now next to them.

"HEY!"

The four of them stop, with Zoro holding Usopp down in a headlock, Luffy looking behind the mast and Seth in the railing, and look at the beat down…

Now that I look at it closely, is that a navy ship?

"...Is that a pirate ship?" Luffy asked.

"If it is, that's the most destroyed ship I have ever seen," Seth said.

"The marines sure know how to treat their ships badly," Usopp put his two cents in.

"FOOLS!" From the ship's side, a familiar (yet forgettable) character appears, "Have you forgotten who I am?! I'm 'Iron Fist' Fullbody!"

"...Who?"

"FULL-BODY!" He screams out, "The former lieutenant that shot you a cannonball!" He yelled before taking out the posters of both Luffy and Seth. "Because of what happened in the stupid restaurant, I was removed from my position, but I will get it all back, thanks to you both! Monkey D. Luffy! Lionel D. Seth! You both are under arrest!"

He then yelled a battle cry as he and his men charged forward…only for the pink captain to be sent crashing into the railing and the rest sent flying back to their ship.

"T-That was a cheap shot!" Fullbody said as he stood up, but when he was about to talk back, he was welcomed by the sight of Gin and Sanji in front of him.

"Oh look...is the guy that made me suffer hunger for weeks in that boat."

"You shit heads know how to press my buttons in the middle of my job, come for food? No soup, just a dirty floor."

The Marine shit himself as he, with his crew, jumped into the ocean and began to swim away in fear.

"Hmph! He was nothing but talk," Usopp said with crossing arms.

"Didn't know that guy was still around," Gin said, scratching his neck.

"Still an idiot I see," Sanji said.

"Hey, guys! Nami is calling for all of us!" Nojiko shouts from the grove.

"I'm coming my love!" Sanji went leg-spinning as he made his way to them, followed by the rest of them.

..

.

Everyone was around in a circle, with Luffy, Nami, Seth, and Usopp sitting down, and Zoro, Nojiko, Sanji, and Gin standing up.

There was a map in the center of them as the navigator pointed at it, "Okay…We should be reaching the Grand Line in one more day." Name said while pointing at the big mountain, "We just need to get and pass the Reversed Mountain."

"We're getting close…" Gin mumble out as he looks into the ocean, ('I'm close…to that graveyard...yet, I can't help but feel...excited about it.') as he looks over, he notices an island in the distance, and he knows exactly which one it was. "Hey look! There's Loguetown," he said while pointing to the island. Everyone looks in his direction.

"Loguetown?" Luffy asked in confusion.

"People call it the 'Island of Beginnings and Endings'," Nojiko explains, "This place is where Gold Roger was born…and was executed."

With those words, a chill of excitement went through the Straw Ht's spine, "The place where Gold Roger was born…" He trailed off.

Seeing the rubber man's reaction, Seth spoke up, "Want to visit it?" Luffy nods furiously, "Nami, let's head there."

"Got it!" The navigator said as she made the course to the town of Loguetown.

About twenty minutes later, the Straw Hats had docked in the harbor. "This is it! Loguetown!" Luffy yelled as they stood in the road.

"The place where Gold Roger was born and executed…" Seth said.

"I'm off to the execution platform!" Luffy yelled as he sprinted away.

"Don't cause trouble!" Seth yelled out.

"Okay!" Was the captain's response.

"...He's getting in trouble, isn't he?" Nami asked with a blank stare.

"Yes, he is," Seth replied to her.

"Well...I'm going to get supplies to the ship," Usopp said.

"I'm gonna go pick up some food. ('And find some hot women's!') Sanji said and thought.

"I want to buy some swords, I don't feel comfortable with one," Zoro said.

"I can give you some money…for 300% of interest," Nami said with an innocent smile.

('Don't do it Zoro.') Nojiko though with a knowing smirk.

"I'm…going to take a stroll." Gin said in a tone that told everyone just how nervous he was.

As Seth was about to talk, he felt two arms wrap around his own, "Well, we need to check some clothes, and you are coming with us." Nojiko said with Nami smiling.

The auburn-haired eyes widened, "No…Not the banned of all men…" he could only say as both sisters dragged him away. Zoro, Usopp, and Gin (actually) clap their hands together and praised him while Sanji-

"WHYYYYYYYY?!"

Yeah…You can guess that one.
