Chapter 163
Added 2021-09-07 11:46:47 +0000 UTCLeaving the cabin in the morning, I stretched pleasantly and went to relieve myself, but on the way I noticed a rag and stopped.
"Looks like they brought it yesterday ... Well, supposing that something in the world must change" - picking up the newspaper, I immediately began to read it with anticipation. We sailed from Whole Cake Island just a few days ago, so now, it was just the time for the new bounties. There weren't many interesting things about Morgans' rag. Mostly in it, he wrote about what happened on Lingling Island. About the destruction, about the battles that took place, about the revolt of the Tank Pirates, and Jerma did not forget to mention. Otherwise, there was nothing really there. So I was there, so his newspaper didn't give me anything interesting. The guys talked about their battles, and I went through mine myself ...
After reading the first sheet, I nodded with a smile:
- As expected ... - everything that was here was no longer just Morgans' reflections and journalistic narration of events. The writer of this newspaper was clearly trying to please the World Government. The headline read "The Worst Pirate Must Be Destroyed!" Of course, by the worst, they meant us ...
Basically, it covered our crimes, from G-8 to the Whole Cake Island massacre. It's funny, but there was no mass murder at all, unless of course you count the darlings. Although, maybe we banged someone ... Hmm, and you can't check. Although, what's the difference?
Although the massacre at Marijoa was mentioned here, they did not attach much importance to it and did not focus on it. Yet this rubbish is Tenrjubito, even ordinary people despise. Especially here in the New World. Many have heard about their deeds, and someone was a witness or even a victim of these garbage. The government is not stupid, unlike these arrogant types, they know everything about their affairs. It's just not clear why they allow it.
The murders of many of the Marines were also attributed to us. Actually, I'm not sure if we killed them or not ... But the list was definitely too long. Although, even if we banged them, what's wrong with that? Shouldn't pirates kill the Marines? As for me, everything is as it should be ...
In general, the list of crimes was rather big, most of which were greatly exaggerated and simply taken from the air. They even recorded Linlin as the defender of their own country. Like, we attacked her house, started killing civilians indiscriminately ... Well, I suppose, the one who writes the newspaper has the opportunity to lie. Especially with the current government.
On the next page, there was of course what I was expecting - our award flyers. True, the awards themselves were a bit unexpected. Seeing them, I realized that we are really highly valued ...
- Even the portraits have been changed, I approve ... - grinning, I ran my eyes over our new leaflets. Basically, everyone was now more like cruel pirates. Well, apart from the girls, of course, I doubt that you can even capture them like that. Especially Aliya and Robin, they usually look like cute beauties ... Well, Nami is usually damn hot, although if you have gold or you, for some stupidity, stole it from her, then you can face her dark side .. Ha, only I doubt that in this situation at least someone will survive.
Looking at these adorable faces, I suddenly began to wonder. Why the hell am I still just swimming with them? There are three hot beauties on my ship and I just ignore them? Hmm, yes ... The fact that I spent all my brains on drink is a long-known fact. Especially when you consider that in a past life I was engaged in science. Although I was more interested in explosives, I was not such a scientist ...
Three beauties on the ship, what more could a good captain wish for? Although a good captain would probably have thrown them overboard. But, this is not the same world, and I am not that kind of captain ... Pirates from my past world were real thugs, not like here.
Come to think of it, I often did not have enough time with the girls, and we were moving too fast around the world. We had frequent separations, from which it was difficult to come to this. Yes, and we are from the same team, so I kept myself in hand ... Although, who am I kidding, why try to hide my own stupidity from myself?
Hmm, I haven't had a woman for a long time, I even started thinking about that. Well, come to think of it, the last time I had a great time in that archipelago was when we got drunk with Sabo and Ace. The girls there were really excellent, it was not for nothing that Whist praised them ...
But the idea of Robin and the others is very good, you should think it over ...
Sitting more comfortably on the bow of the ship, I continued to look at the leaflets.
As for me, the new leaflets are much better ... Although this was to be expected, we all have changed lately, so the leaflets should have been changed for sure.
First came Zoro's flyer. Instead of his past serious face, the leaflet showed a grinning swordsman with a blood-stained face and clothes, in one hand he held two katanas at once, one was directed forward, and the other he held with a reverse grip. In the second hand was a third katana, stained with blood and blackened with khaki weapons.
I do not know when these reporters managed to photograph him, but apparently, this is from the battle with Katakuri. Zoro looked a little crazy here indeed. Looks like he really liked the battle ...
The Swordsman's bounty not only increased, it skyrocketed, just like the rest. In the past, he had an award of five hundred million, it has risen more than three times. Which was of course a huge boost. Even Katakuri did not have such an award. Their powers did not differ much, but he was given a reward of five hundred million more. I think this is because of his belonging to my team. Plus, he can be considered first mate, so the reward must match. One billion six hundred million, quite worthy.
Next came Sargon. His flyer was also changed, after Marineford he had a slightly blurry image, and he was a little emaciated there, and now everything is much better. After telling me about my past, I understood why he had an award of eight hundred and fifty million. Although in strength, he was certainly below this award. But now, he not only became stronger, but also joined the team to the next implacable enemy of the World Government. But unlike last time, they do not hide the news or ignore the situation. Having learned their lesson from the Rocks, they will surely hit me. So Sargon's bounty has increased significantly. She was very close to Zoro's award, a full billion and five hundred and fifty-three million. Not bad for an old carpenter. His strength is probably already lower than that of Zoro and possibly lower than Sanji, but he is still very strong. Defeating Smoothie wasn't a luck. I think his level is about the same as Sanji's, their auras are very similar ...
