Four days ago, somewhere in the New World…
A seagull squawked loudly and dropped a newspaper right onto the deck of the Thousand Sunny.
Robin leaned down and picked it up.
"Hmm… the latest bounties," she murmured, scanning the front page.
"Hey guys, the new bounties are put," Robin said. Everyone gathered around her in an instant.
"What does mine say?" Luffy asked, excited.
"Let me see," Robin replied as she skips through the poster.
"Ahh, here it is." Robin muttered.
"MONEY D. LUFFY- 1,000,000,000 Berries."
"One billion!" Luffy laughed with excitement.
"I expect nothing less from my captain," Zoro said.
"Stop encouraging him!" Nami snapped at Zoro.
"What's mine?" Zoro asked.
Robin chuckled.
"Roronoa Zoro- 600,000,000 Berries."
Zoro laughed. "600 million… ain't that bad."
"Stop smiling, moss head! My bounty is a lot higher than yours!" Sanji said.
Robin looked at Sanji's bounty.
"Black Leg Sanji- 500,000,000 Berries."
Zoro laughed until he almost cried. "Try harder next time, cook."
Zoro and Sanji started to argue.
Nami hit them on the head. "Both of you shut up, or I'll throw you overboard!"
"Robin, please tell me they removed me from the most wanted list." Nami said.
Robin shook her head. "Nope, you're still here."
"Cat Burglary Nami- 220,000,000 Berries."
Nami started to cry. "It's gotten even higher…"
"What's mine? What's mine?" Usopp asked with a grin.
"God Usopp- 300,000,000 Berries."
"300 million?!" Usopp fainted.
Robin looked at her own bounty.
"Nico Robin- 400,000,000 Berries. Not bad."
Robin handed the rest of the poster to Franky. "I'm going to take a nap," she said, before walking away.
Franky looked at his bounty.
"Franky- 200,000,000 Berries. Why is mine less than Usopp and Nami? Who do they think fixes things around here?" he said, arguing with himself.
Brook took his poster from Franky.
"Soul King Brook- 250,000,000. I think I might die… but I'm already dead, get it? Ohohohohohoh."
"What's mine?" Chopper asked.
Brook handed Chopper his poster.
"Tony Tony Chopper- 1,000 Berries."
"One thousand?!" Chopper started to argue. "I'm just as dangerous as everyone else on this ship!"
Later that very same day, everyone gathered in the kitchen.
"What did you cook, Sanji?" Luffy asked.
"Sea King and fried octopus. And for dessert, we have chocolate ice cream," Sanji said,
placing the food on the table and taking a seat.
"Nami, do you think we'll see Noah again?" Luffy asked.
"Sure we will," Nami replied.
"I still don't get that guy," Brook said.
Robin laughed. "Noah is just like Luffy..loves to eat and unpredictable."
"I'm none of those!" Luffy replied, with fried octopus in his mouth.
"Do you remember the first time we met Noah and Emma?" Nami asked.
"Yeah, I think it was back in Alabasta," Zoro replied.
"We've been on so many adventures together," Nami said, looking sad.
"They'll be fine," Luffy said, swallowing a piece of Sea King meat. "Noah and Emma are strong. Even his new crewmates look strong. And if anything happens and they need our help, we'll help them. Noah always saves us when we need him, so one day we'll return the favor."
Everyone looked at Luffy, shocked.
"Is there something on my face?" Luffy asked.
"I think everyone's just surprised that you could say things like that, Captain," Robin replied with a chuckle.
"Luffy's right," Zoro said. "As things stand now, I don't think Luffy can defeat Emma, much less Noah. That guy is on a different level.
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEW WORLD.
Noah sneezed. "I guess someone's talking about me… but I wonder who?"
