* Syrup Village *
"Miss! Miss!" merry screamed as he ran up the stairs with a piece of paper in his hand. He pushed open the door and spoke.
"Miss Rich, have you seen this?" he asked as he held up Luffy's Wanted poster for Kaya to look at. Rich picked it up and smiled before speaking.
"It looks like they made it, Merry?" he asked while staring at the paper.
"Yes, right," he answered. Kaya then turned to him and smiled before she spoke again.
"That's good news, Usopp is moving towards his dream so I better start working harder to achieve my dream" he said with confidence.
* Shell City *
Sweeping the hall of the sea base in Shell town is Coby. While sweeping, he saw a wanted poster on the wall. When he saw it, he smiled broadly when he saw it was Luffy.
"Luffy you're out to achieve your dream, but when we meet again we'll meet as enemies" he said with a very happy smile.
* Multiple Random Islands on Grand Line *
Hawk-Eye walks to the beach on the island, and is immediately greeted by the guns of a group of terrified pirates.
"What do you want, Hawk-Eye?" Asked the pirate who was so scared with his sword drawn towards Hawk eye. Mihawk just looked at her with a bored expression on his face before he spoke.
"Oh, relax, take me to your boss," he said causing the pirates to flee into the forest. "A camper on a deserted island, really a carefree man," he said before he followed the pirate into the forest.
After walking for a few minutes, he arrived at the Red Hair Pirates' camp. They were all sitting under a large umbrella, taking away their drunkenness.
"Boss! Ha-Ha-Hawk-Eye!" the pirate shouted at Shanks while pointing backwards. Shanks who was sitting on a wooden block did not even need to look at Mihawk when he spoke.
"Hello, Hawk-Eye, what honor have you come to this place? Did you come to fight me? Because you know, I'm a little unwell at the moment" Shanks said in a low voice.
"I have no intention of fighting a drunken man, I will fight you next time," Mihawk said as he looked at Shanks. "Lately I met our friend in East Blue," he said, drawing everyone's attention, as he began walking towards Shanks with the paper rolled in his hand.
"I just thought you might want to see this," she said as she unrolled the paper and showed it to Luffy's Shanks Wanted poster.
Shanks' eyes widened when he saw him as well as the rest of the crew, he then laughed to himself before he spoke.
"in that case, I can't just let you go, Hawk-Eye," Shanks said in a dangerous tone that caused Mihawk to narrow his eyes.
Shanks then took out a cup and started pouring liquor into it while laughing. "Hawk-Eye, let's have a drink" Shanks said with a big smile on his face.
"Aren't you just drunk?" Hawk-Eye asked.
"Don't be crazy, we should celebrate. Our student just got his first Bounty, everybody, let's party!" Shanks shouted before raising his own glass. "For Luffy!" he yelled.
"For LUFFY!" the rest of the crew shouted while drinking their sake.
* Foosha Village *
Meanwhile in Foosha village, everyone is celebrating because Luffy is achieving his dream. Inside Makino's bar, the main celebration takes place with everyone having a drink to celebrate Luffy's first bounty.
"Who thinks pirates with big names come from our village" said one of the villagers.
"Shut up! What a hell of a bad villain coming from our village!" mayor said
"Aww, look at him Mayor, he's so cute" Makino said from behind the bar. "He's really out there chasing his dreams" he said.
"His dream or his fate?" the mayor said to himself.
* Back Going Merry *
Back at the Going Merry, everyone stared at the wanted poster lying on the ground with a shocked face while Luffy just grinned.
"Did you guys see that, I'm a fugitive," Luffy said proudly as he stared at the poster. The picture they used right after he destroyed Arlong's garden.
The image was as he stood in the middle of Arlong Park's pile of ashes with dark clouds and lightning flashing in the sky as his background, It was like staring straight into the camera with the cold eyes of an assassin with a torn Arlong Pirate flag lying on the side of his foot.
And just below the picture, there are names and nicknames along with his Bounty:
WANTED
Live or die!
Monkey D's. Luffy
Nickname: The Thunder Demon: 'Straw Hat Luffy'
Gifts: $ 100,000,000.
"Wow" said Johnny and Yosaku.
"100 million!?" Shouted Usopp surprised. "That's awesome!" she said. When he said that, Nami slapped him on the back of his head.
"Shut up, idiot, this is bad!" Nami says. "This means a very strong marine will chase after us," Namu said with a worried expression on his face.
"100 million? With such a reward the Navy headquarters will definitely take action," Zoro said in a low voice.
"Not to mention, this will attract a lot of Bounty Hunters, and these bounty hunters will be really great," Zoro said scaring everyone but Luffy. Luffy saw everyone starting to panic and decided to reduce their worries.
"All of you!" Luffy shouted from his throne to get their attention. "Casual and quiet. If they don't send Marine Admiral Kizaru we'll be fine" Luffy said a little calming them down.
"What happened to this pira named Kizaru?" ask Nojiko.
"Let's just say he's the only person who's going to give me trouble in a fight" Luffy said to their surprise. "Now with a Bounty like that means the Marine is already aware of my relationship with Shanks and the power I have."
"So, they will try their best to prevent us from entering the Grand Line" said Luffy, receiving a nod from each of his crew. Luffy then turned to Nami and spoke. "Nami, prepare the sailing destination to Logue Town. We will stop there and supply supplies and from there we will head straight for the Grand Line, "he said in a stern voice.
"Good!" nami said before walking to pick up the map.
"Why should we stop at Logue Town?" Sanji asked with a curious expression on his face. "Can't we head straight for the Grand Line? We've got enough supplies" he asked, making Luffy laugh.
"We could have gone straight away, but stopping in Logue Town before entering the Grand Line was a ritual for pirates," Luffy said getting curious gazes from everyone there.
"You know, Logue Town is where Gol D is. Roger was born and where he died" Luffy said, causing everyone's eyes to widen. "It was also the starting place of The Great Pirate Era. The city is known as the City of Beginning and End,"
