"Su Xiaoqi, member of the Yorozuya Pirates—bounty: **100 million Beri**."
"Lu Linglong, member of the Yorozuya Pirates—bounty: **55 million Beri**."
"Sakata Gintoki, vice-captain of the Yorozuya Pirates—bounty: **30 million Beri**."
"Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates—bounty: **88 million Beri**."
"Roronoa Zoro, member of the Straw Hat Pirates—bounty: **40 million Beri**."
Su Xiaoqi paused, glancing at Nami. The others followed his gaze—they all knew the last poster in his hand had to be hers.
Lu Linglong urged, "Stop dragging it out! Just read it already!"
Su Xiaoqi handed the poster to Vivi with a grin. "You do it."
Vivi's eyes widened slightly as she read the number, then she looked at Nami with a complicated expression before slowly announcing:
"**Nami, captain of the Yorozuya Pirates—bounty: 300 million Beri.**"
"**Hiss—**"
The entire room collectively gasped. A bounty that high right off the bat? Just how much did the World Government and Marines fear Nami?
Su Xiaoqi smirked. "Congratulations, *Captain Nami*. You're about to become famous across the seas."
Vivi added sweetly, "Captain~ Please take good care of this little crewmate with *no bounty* from now on~"
"**Pfft—**"
Someone couldn't hold back their laughter, and soon, the entire room erupted in hysterics.
"**I'LL KILL YOU TWO LOVEY-DOVEY BASTARDS!!**"
Nami, unable to take the humiliation, grabbed a fork and knife from the table and chased after Su Xiaoqi and Vivi.
Ten minutes later, panting heavily, she glared at the smug couple. "Just you wait. Soon, you'll be begging me for mercy."
Su Xiaoqi wasn't worried. Empty threats were nothing new. *As if little Nami could ever outsmart me.*
Meanwhile, Luffy, finally processing the posters, scratched his head. "Huh? Why's Nami's bounty so much higher than mine?"
"And why does it say she's the captain of the Yorozuya Pirates? She's *our* navigator!"
Another round of laughter followed.
Those unhappy with their bounties—or lack thereof—started complaining.
Tokisaki Kurumi sighed. "Ara~ I was looking forward to my own bounty. Maybe next time I should just go drain some Marines~"
Chopper fumed. "Those damn Marines! Why no bounty for me?! I helped kidnap Vivi too!"
Gintoki slammed the table. "Gin-san's the damn *vice-captain*, yet I have the lowest bounty?! I'm gonna storm Marineford and pluck out Sengoku's beard!"
Sanji exhaled a smoke ring before exploding. "HOW THE HELL DOES THE MOSS-HEAD GET 40 MILLION, BUT I GET NOTHING?! ARE THE MARINES BLIND?!"
Zoro sneered. "You only beat up some weakling. Fits you, shit-cook."
"YOU WANNA DIE, GREEN-HAIRED IDIOT?!"
**[System Alert: The "Alabasta" arc is nearing its conclusion. All non-One Piece world participants must depart within 12 hours. Failure to comply will result in forced repatriation and penalties.]**
Su Xiaoqi sighed inwardly. *It was bound to happen eventually.*
Vivi, noticing the sudden shift in mood among the group members, felt a pang of unease. "What's wrong?"
Su Xiaoqi forced a smile. "Everyone, we just got a notification. Our mission's over—soon, we'll have to return to our own worlds."
"We all had a great time here. Most importantly, we got to meet all of you."
He turned and pulled Vivi into a tight hug. "Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me. We'll see each other again soon."
Vivi bit her lip, holding back tears as she clung to him. "I'll wait for you."
Su Xiaoqi gently patted her back before facing the others. "We've got 12 hours left. Let's throw one last party!"
Luffy jumped onto the table, mug raised. "**PARTY TIME!!**"
"**WOOOO!!**"
---
As the celebration roared on, goodbyes and promises were exchanged.
"Perm-head! Next time, we're settling things with a fight!"
"Gin-san prefers chatting with ladies over brawling~"
"Linglong-chan, Kurumi-chan, I'll make you the best desserts next time!"
"Thanks, Sanji-kun~"
"Ara~ If you impress me, I might even give you a figurine of another Spirit~"
"Kaito! Your magic's amazing! Teach me some tricks next time—I wanna show off for Kaya!"
"No problem! Easy peasy!"
Suddenly, Gintoki slammed his cup down. "**WAIT A MINUTE!**"
Everyone turned.
Gintoki pointed at Nami with drunken seriousness. "Nami-chan! We never finished the *Alabasta bathhouse scene*! Let's do it now!"
"**WHAT?!**" Sanji's eyes bulged. "**MIXED BATHING?! NOW?!**"
"**YOU TWO PERVS CAN JUST DIE!!**"
Nami's fists sent them crashing into the floor. "**IN YOUR DREAMS!**"

Later, Su Xiaoqi handed Tashigi a sheathed katana.
"*This is 'Nietono Shana'—the 'Heavenly Calamity Flame Sword.' A good blade for a lady. Consider it my apology for knocking you out earlier.*"
Tashigi blinked. As a sword enthusiast, she recognized its quality but hesitated.
Su Xiaoqi shoved it into her hands. "No take-backs. You know too much now. Also, I ship you and Zoro."
Zoro grunted. "Use it well. Chase your dream."
Tashigi bowed deeply. "Thank you. And… I'm sorry for misjudging you all. You're actually good people."
"Though switching from Marine to pirate will take some getting used to… I'll do my best!"
Su Xiaoqi chuckled. "First time anyone's called *me* a good person."
Robin smiled. "Speaking of gifts, what about mine? *I* was knocked out too, you know."
Su Xiaoqi handed her a stack of books. "Light novels. Should kill time."
Robin winked. "I'll keep our little secret."
Then she frowned. "Wait… Your group has eight members, right? Where's the last one?"
Silence.
Lu Linglong coughed. "Uh… We kinda forgot about Sakuragi."
Gintoki picked his nose. "Poor red-haired monkey."
Su Xiaoqi facepalmed. "Nami! Message Sakuragi now! At least let him join the feast!"
Minutes later, Sakuragi Hanamichi appeared—teary-eyed and in chibi form.
"**WAHHH! BIG BRO! HOW COULD YOU FORGET ME?! I WAS WAITING SO LONG!**"
Su Xiaoqi rubbed his neck. "Look, there were… circumstances. But I'll make it up to you!"
Sakuragi perked up. "Really?! Then gimme that **one-tomoe Sharingan** you got! My basketball game's been missing something!"
"Fine, fine." Su Xiaoqi tossed him the eye.
After fusing it, Sakuragi flexed. "**NOW I'M INVINCIBLE!**"
"Sure, sure. Now meet everyone properly."
Sakuragi bowed to Vivi. "Sis-in-law! I'm Big Bro's number one disciple, Sakuragi Hanamichi!"
Vivi giggled. "Better late than never. Have fun!"
When the two hotheads—Sakuragi and Luffy—met, chaos escalated.

Later, a drunk Gintoki slurred at Su Xiaoqi.
"Yo, Xiaoqi… You got 'Chi-Chi' *and* 'Bulma' now… Gonna add an 'Android 18' next?"
Su Xiaoqi blinked. "Huh?"
Gintoki hiccuped. "Zhu Qing's personality's like Chi-Chi, and Vivi-chan's hair's just like Bulma's~"
Su Xiaoqi glanced at Zhu Qing and Vivi. "…That's just a coincidence. **A stupid one.**"
Nami smirked. "Forget 'Chi-Chi' and 'Bulma.' Let's settle *our* score."
"Mastermind Su Xiaoqi and accomplice Vivi—**you owe me 180,000 points in emotional damages.**"
Su Xiaoqi scoffed. "In your dreams."
Nami's grin widened. "Fine by me. But… *how exactly are you gonna visit Vivi without me?*"
Su Xiaoqi froze.
*…Shit.*
Nami leaned in, savoring her victory. "**Pay up, or no more cross-world visits~**"
For the first time, the schemer had been out-schemed.
And Nami?
She'd never felt prouder.
