Alabasta Kingdom.
Alubarna, Royal Palace.
This morning's news and wanted posters naturally arrived immediately.
"Huh? Huh huh huh! This, this, this… I, I, I… I'm actually wanted, and it's… three hundred million Berries! I'm actually worth three hundred million Berries, enough to buy three villages!"
The girl's surprised cry echoed under the sky.
Looking at her three hundred million Berry wanted poster, Nami was completely stunned.
Her eyes were momentarily blinded by money, then filled with worry.
Other people's three hundred million Berry bounties were based on real ability, but she… Nami was very clear about the fact that she was a little weakling.
This, out in the open, was a walking three hundred million Berry prize, and she would definitely be targeted.
"It's okay, Nami, I'm also a three hundred million Berry great pirate~"
Kuina patted Nami's shoulder in comfort.
Suddenly.
A flash of inspiration struck Kuina's little head.
Thanks to this wanted poster, she was somewhat of a celebrity on the sea.
She wondered what expression Zoro would have after seeing her wanted poster?
He would definitely be startled!!!
"Hehehe"
Thinking of Zoro's potentially amusing expression, Kuina couldn't help but chuckle.
Unlike Nami's nervousness and helplessness, Thor had not cared in the slightest about being wanted from beginning to end.
Let alone a mere three hundred million, even if it were three billion or thirty billion, she wouldn't care at all.
"Hehehe"
A standard villain's triumphant laugh rang out.
At the stone table in the pavilion, Teapot Shukaku looked at his bounty, so happy he couldn't close his mouth.
"Not bad, not bad! Giving this great one such a high bounty, those guys in the Government still have quite good taste!"
Teapot Shukaku nodded in satisfaction.
However, what Shukaku didn't know was that his three hundred million Berry bounty was completely incidental, riding on the coattails of Roland's words.
The World Government knew nothing of his combat power.
It was simply based on the idea that anyone on Roland's ship, even a dog, could not be let off.
Otherwise, as the ship's mascot, his bounty would at most be fifty Berries, no more.
"What a clumsy trick!"
By the fish pond, Roland merely glanced casually at his wanted poster and then ignored it.
About fifteen minutes later, Vivi returned, her pretty face showing dejection and shame.
Not long ago, upon learning that all of Roland's group had high bounties, Vivi immediately went to ask her father.
She wanted to know why the heroes who saved Alabasta had become bounty criminals.
However, the final result was clearly unsatisfactory, but Cobra provided her with a solution.
"I'm sorry, Nami, you are clearly heroes, and yet… those guys in the World Government are simply too shameless!"
Vivi said apologetically.
"Oh, come on, what are you talking about? It's just being wanted, right? What's the big deal? I don't care at all!"
Nami changed from her previous worried state, waving her hand authoritatively, indicating it was fine.
The understanding Nami didn't want her good friend Vivi to feel guilty about this matter.
"Nami, you don't have to comfort me, I know…"
Vivi didn't finish her sentence.
"Vivi, it seems you still don't quite understand us. Look at Kuina, look at Thor, look at the little tanuki, and finally, look at our Captain. Has anyone been affected?"
Nami pointed to each person in turn.
"Hmm~"
Vivi pursed her small lips, her resolve to clear their names growing stronger.
Since her father and others couldn't speak due to Government pressure, then let the people speak.
"Nami, everyone, in a week, the capital will hold my coming-of-age pledge speech. Can you come and attend?"
Vivi's eyes sparkled, her face full of anticipation.
"Of course~"
Nami didn't hesitate.
"Very happy to!"
Thor and Kuina smiled and agreed.
"As long as this great one doesn't go hungry, it's fine!"
Teapot Shukaku sat with his legs crossed, leisurely and at ease.
...
...
A week passed in a flash.
In the past week.
Vivi dragged Roland's group and almost toured the entire Alabasta.
This was also thanks to the bamboo copter and Thor's teleportation gates, which greatly increased their mobility.
Finally.
The time came for the Princess's coming-of-age ceremony.
Six in the morning.
There were still two hours until Vivi's pledge speech.
Saint Dora River, Royal Port.
"Captain, are we really going to leave just like this?"
Nami pursed her small lips, looking back every three steps.
During these past days of interaction, she had already come to regard Vivi as her best sister.
Not to say they had to be together forever, but at least they should say a proper farewell.
"All good things must come to an end!"
Roland said calmly.
As a transmigrator, Roland was most aware of Vivi's deep love and responsibility for this country.
In the original storyline, due to her responsibility to the country, Vivi chose not to set sail with the Straw Hat Pirates.
Since he already knew the outcome, why cry and be sentimental about parting.
Furthermore, Roland was now considered to have completely fallen out with the World Government.
If Vivi stayed with them, it would somewhat affect Alabasta.
By accepting Cobra's two billion Berry thank-you gift last night, Roland had indirectly expressed his intentions.
"Then… at least let's listen to Vivi's pledge speech, we promised!"
Nami sighed, she also knew what Roland was thinking.
"Alright!!!"
Roland nodded. Two weeks later, he sat back on the fishing platform, casting his final rod in Alabasta.
Two hours later.
The "Never Empty Army" sailed out of the Saint Dora River and arrived at Tamarisque, Alabasta's East Port.
Just then, a warship approached Roland's group, with the World Government flag hanging from its mast.
"It's CP7 from that day, what are they doing here?"
Nami frowned.
"Everyone from the Air Force, we meet again? This time, I'm here to convey the Five Elders' advice to you all…"
From several hundred meters away, the piercing voice of the CP7 officer came through the amplified Den Den Mushi.
Having learned from the previous lesson, CP7 absolutely did not want to get too close to Roland this time.
In fact, if it weren't for the Five Elders' command, he wouldn't have come over proactively at all.
"Cough cough, everything is already too late. This sea is our Government's sea. By offending us, you will have no place to stand on this sea. The bounty is just the beginning; next, we will…"
The CP7 officer recited the Five Elders' words verbatim.
"Too noisy, destroy it!"
Roland said without turning his head.
"Leave it to me…" Thor was about to make a move.
"Wait, Big Sister, leave these small fries to this… tanuki!"
Teapot Shukaku volunteered and leaped onto the ship's railing.
Then, under Nami and Kuina's astonished gazes, he opened his mouth, harmonizing Yin and Yang chakra.
A fist-sized Tailed Beast Ball suddenly shot out like lightning.
Whoosh!
Boom!
Rumble!
In an instant, the World Government warship disintegrated.
The CP7 agents in black suits on the warship didn't even know what happened before their bodies were completely vaporized.
"Huh huh huh~ Tanuki-chan, you're actually that powerful?"
Nami, seeing Shukaku in action for the first time, cried out in surprise and delight.
"Truly worthy of being Brother's pet~"
Kuina praised.
"Hehe, just so-so, still far from Big Sister!"
Teapot Shukaku immediately puffed out his chest proudly.
"Speaking of which, Big Sister, I'm telling you, I had a sworn enemy in my original world who kept going against me. If we could…"
Teapot Shukaku's eyes darted around, deciding to cling to Thor's leg and incite Thor to go to the Ninja World to cause trouble for Nine-Tails.
He believed that with Big Sister Thor around, she could definitely beat Kurama so badly he wouldn't know which way was north.
Then, he would take him as his little brother, wouldn't that be wonderful?
On this side, Shukaku was excitedly tattling, badmouthing Nine-Tails.
On the other side, Roland was making his final haul in Alabasta.
"Ding dong!"
"Good things come in pairs! Congratulations to the host for successfully getting two more items: the Chicken Talisman and the Horse Talisman from the Twelve Talismans!"
