Chapter 275: The Soaring Bounty
Into the night
Inside the cabins of the Liberty ship, moored on a deserted island.
"Hey! Don't push! Don't push! My pants are about to fall off!"
"Hey! You're so tall, you're blocking my view!"
"Gah gah gah gah! Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I wouldn't have such a good spot to admire the bounty posters of you gentlemen!"
A group of underlings crowded inside the cabin and blocked the cabin door. Although some of them were red-faced and bulging from the pressure, their eyes still shone with anticipation.
This scene made Mu Chong and his group, sitting around the dining table, shake their heads in disbelief! There was no way around it; there were too many people, the cabin was too small, and no one wanted to stand directly in front of Mu Chong and his companions, which led to the overcrowding.
"Here it comes! Boss Barto is about to start his demonstration!"
Just then, accompanied by an excited shout, all eyes turned to Bartolomeo.
The guy was standing in the center of the cabin, and he had somehow produced a panel covered with neatly arranged bounty posters.
"Ahem! Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Next, I, Bartolomeo, will solemnly present to you the bounty posters for the captain and all my brothers and sisters!"
Bartolomeo stood solemnly in front of the panel, coughed lightly a few times, and then the area below fell into complete silence.
"Hey! Captain! Are we just going to let him cause trouble like this? Look at that smug look on his face!"
Slad, sitting behind Mu Chong, covered his forehead and leaned close to Mu Chong, whispering...
"Hehehe! Anyway, we're full and have nothing else to do, so let it be! Isn't this quite interesting?"
Mu Chong picked up his drink, took a sip, and a smile spread across his face, as if he was really looking forward to the fun things that were about to happen.
"cut……"
"Hey! Slard! Don't disturb the captain while he's admiring his bounty poster!"
Just as Slad was about to whisper something, Bartolomeo, standing in front, looked like a teacher, his face serious and his tone resolute.
"Pfft! Hahahaha..."
"Hehehehehe..."
"Meow~"
As soon as Bartolomeo finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Only after Slad gave him a resentful look did Bartolomeo begin his performance.
"First up! It's Laura, the beautiful mermaid! Her title is Mermaid, and her bounty is fifty-five million Berries!"
clap clap clap!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
As Bartolomeo introduced the ship, the crew members in the cabin applauded and cheered enthusiastically.
"Hehehe! Actually, I didn't do much yesterday. It was Brother Dick who took care of those two marines!"
Laura felt the cheers around her, and a blush instantly rose to her cheeks. As she spoke, she turned her head to glance at Dick beside her, her eyes filled with tenderness.
This scene was instantly captured by everyone, who all wore smiles of smug satisfaction, making Dick and Laura blush and lower their heads in embarrassment.
"Ahem! Next up! It's Brother Dick! Title: Fishman, Bounty: 260 million Berries!"
Bartolomeo, disguised as a news anchor, wouldn't miss the chance to tease Dick, directly addressing him as "Big Brother Dick."
clap clap clap!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
"Hahaha! Two hundred and sixty million Berries? It more than doubled after just one battle. The Navy really thinks highly of me!"
Dick ignored everyone and burst into laughter as he looked at his bounty. A surge in bounty money was a symbol of strength.
"Yes! Don't be modest, Dick! You and Laura together were able to take down two Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals, so there's no doubt about your bounty of over 200 million Berries!"
Mu Chong looked at the more composed Dick, his eyes revealing undisguised joy. This was the helmsman of the Freedom he had approved of; how could he be anything less?
"Understood, Captain!"
"Come on! Next up! It's Hill! His title is Scythe, and his bounty is 150 million Berries!"
clap clap clap!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
"Huh? The title is Flying Mantis? Could this be Lord Hill's ability?"
"That's so cool! It can fly!"
As soon as Hill Bounty Hunter's bounty was read out, his underlings began to sing his praises.
"Heh heh heh! I never thought I'd get a bounty on my head! The Navy really holds grudges!"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Hill Bott's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. He raised a hand to adjust his glasses, seemingly quite pleased with the bounty on his head.
"Hehehe! Of course! Hill! You infiltrated the naval base alone and brought everyone such important information. It can be said that you deserve the most credit for destroying the Buster Call!"
Mu Chong gave Hill Bot an approving look! Without this guy's information, Mu Chong and the others wouldn't have had time to make so many plans.
"Yes! The captain is right! Hill! Without your risking your life to deliver the news, our battle wouldn't have been so easy! You deserve this bounty!"
Even Slade, who is usually a bit eccentric, praised Hill Bot in a serious manner.
"Yes! I will keep trying, Captain!"
Listening to Mu Chong and Slad's words and seeing the looks in their eyes, Hill Bot felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and then nodded solemnly.
"Hey ha ha ha! So next up! It's Brother Baku's bounty! Title: Great Ape! Bounty: 420 million Berries!"
clap clap clap!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
"Hey! Did you hear that? The title 'Giant Ape'! Lord Baku truly deserves it!"
"Oh dear! The Navy really doesn't know how to come up with names. In my opinion, it would be better to change it to Crimson Demon Giant Ape. Lord Baku's transformation is all covered in crimson flames!"
"Hehehe! As long as it's a title for Lord Baku, I think it's cool no matter what it is!"
The group of henchmen who had witnessed Baku use his Devil Fruit powers were now engaged in quite a lively discussion.
"Hehehe! I didn't expect that even though I didn't participate in the war, the Navy would still increase my bounty!"
Baku, sitting in his seat, had a broad smile on his face, but he covered the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Hahaha! Baku! It seems that the damage you inflicted on Kizaru last time hasn't been forgotten by him!"
When Slade saw Baku's bounty, he burst into laughter. Images of the four of them ganging up on Kizaru on Iron Island flashed through his mind, and he couldn't suppress his smile.
"Baku! A Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit! It's not just about the surface abilities. Remember to develop them properly. Also, don't neglect your physical training. Don't waste the physical enhancements that a Mythical Zoan type can provide!"
Mu Chong leaned back in his chair, turned his head to look at Baku, and slowly began to speak.
"Don't worry, Captain!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Baku's expression instantly turned solemn, his eyes becoming resolute.
"Everyone! Next up! Next up is Brother Slad's bounty! Title: Cloud God, bounty: 620 million Berries!"
clap clap clap!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Wow! Cloud God! What a powerful name! Lord Slad is so handsome!
"Over 600 million Berries? That's incredible!"
As soon as Slard's bounty was revealed, his gang cheered, their eyes gleaming.
"Hahaha! It's gone up! But it's only a little over 600 million Berries! The Navy is so stingy!"
Slad burst into laughter, his face beaming with a smile, but his mouth was spewing non-stop sarcastic remarks.
"Hehehe! Compared to before, it's increased by nearly 200 million. It seems your rain of arrows caused considerable damage to the Navy!"
Upon hearing Slad's voice behind him, Mu Chong smiled slightly, shook his head, and slowly said...
"Tch! Easy peasy! I haven't even shown my true strength yet, Captain!"
Upon hearing this, Slad's lips curled into a wide smile, and he said with a touch of arrogance.
"Tch! You idiot navigator!"
Slard's smugness earned him a glare from Enel, who was munching on an apple nearby.
"Hey! You stupid shipwright! What's wrong? You got a problem with that? Hey! Barto, check this guy's bounty and see if it's as high as mine!"
