Chapter 38: The Bounty of the Sea

As Kein flipped through the newspaper, two pieces of paper fell out from between the pages.

Yamato picked up the two papers that had fallen onto the table and showed them to Kein, exclaiming in surprise, “Kein, these are our photos!”

Kein stroked his chin and observed, “Hmm, one is a wanted poster, and the other is also a wanted poster.”

Yamato retorted, “Then why didn’t you just say they were two wanted posters?”

Kein shook his head, “You don’t understand, this is a famous saying.”

“Is it?”

Yamato didn’t dwell on it and turned to admire their photos, “I look so cool in the picture.”

Indeed.

In the photo, Yamato had a resolute expression, in the posture of swinging her kanabo, and although her beautiful face was smudged with dust, it didn’t detract from her appearance; instead, it gave her a heroic and spirited feeling.

The photo on Kein’s wanted poster was taken at the moment he thanked Kizaru after being severely wounded by him.

At that time, although he was covered in blood, with that confident smile, he not only didn’t appear disheveled but also gained a sense of boldness.

However, that’s truly amazing, Flame Photographer.

Kein hadn’t noticed anyone taking his picture at all then.

Of course, what was most worth paying attention to wasn’t the photos, but the bounty amount below.

It was a figure that even surprised him a little.

“What exactly did Kizaru say after he went back?”

Kein grumbled.

Now, it’s truly a situation where everyone in the world knows him.

...

New World, Totto Land.

This is a sea area centered around Cake Island, with 34 satellite islands, and it is also the headquarters of the Charlotte Family.

On Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin, who was growing increasingly obese, was stuffing large mouthfuls of cream cake into her mouth while intently staring at the wanted poster photos of Kein and Yamato.

“Heavenly Disaster Kain? Oni Princess Yamato?”

“That kid Kaido really has a good subordinate and a good daughter~”

Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, who was holding a candy cane and sticking out a long tongue, noticed the dissatisfaction in Mama’s tone and quickly said, “Mama, please don’t worry, the younger siblings’ talents are all very strong; they just need time to grow.”

“This old woman can’t wait any longer.”

Charlotte Linlin’s face darkened as she touched her belly, where her 84th and 85th children were being conceived.

“I’ve decided, this is the last birth.”

She hadn’t been active outside for too long, and now that kid Kaido was starting to make his move, she naturally couldn’t fall behind.

It was time for her, Charlotte Linlin’s, renown to spread across the seas once again.

Perospero immediately agreed, “Mama, with you leading us, the Charlotte Family will surely reach a new level.”

Seeing her son’s obedience, Charlotte Linlin’s expression softened, and she proactively asked, “How is Oven doing now?”

Charlotte Linlin, when not in a food craving state, occasionally still showed some maternal affection.

Katakuri, who had been silent by the side, immediately reported, “Oven is out of danger, but it will take time for him to recover his combat strength.”

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin’s gaze turned cold, “Can he recover completely?”

Katakuri’s eyes narrowed, “The Doctor said it’s not a big problem.”

“Mama Mama Mama, that’s good.”

Charlotte Linlin instantly put on a smiling face, “Let him continue to serve as the Minister of Baking.”

“Yes, Mama.” Katakuri secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As his older brother, he could only help Oven this much.

A certain sea area in the New World.

A huge pirate ship resembling a whale was cutting through the waves, sailing into the distance.

On the ship’s mast, the giant Whitebeard skull pirate flag flapped in the sea breeze.

The Moby Dick, the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates.

On the wide deck, Whitebeard, sixty-four years old and still at the tail end of his peak strength, sat in his iconic giant chair, holding two wanted posters.

“Gurararara, Marco, the New World has two more impressive youngsters.”

The man whose head resembled a pineapple, while checking Whitebeard’s health, lazily said, “Pops, it seems the New World is about to become turbulent again. That Kaido isn’t one to stay quiet.”

The man was Marco, also known as “The Phoenix,” and he was also the First Division Commander and Doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Vista, nicknamed “Flower Sword,” with a deep blue top hat and a mustache, didn’t care, “So what? At worst, we’ll fight the Beasts Pirates. Kaido will never be a match for Pops!”

“That’s natural, I am Whitebeard!”

Whitebeard laughed heartily, his Haki overflowing.

A certain island in the New World.

A man with Red Hair sat in front of a campfire, holding a freshly printed newspaper in his right hand, laughing loudly.

“These newcomers are truly amazing!”

His First Mate, Benn Beckman, sat cross-legged beside him, calmly smoking a cigarette, while also maintaining his pistol with one hand.

“Shanks, how old were you when you reached this bounty?”

“Hahahahaha, who remembers such boring things!” Red Hair put down the newspaper and picked up the wine bowl by his feet, taking a big gulp of wine, “Isn’t it better to drink a few more bowls of wine with this time?”

“Idiot, then you should remember the time to flip the grilled meat for me! Do you have the memory of a fish?!”

Lucky Roux, the chef with a big stomach, grabbed Red Hair by the collar and shook him vigorously, “Do you know you’re wasting food?! That’s a crime!”

The grilled meat on the campfire had already started to give off a burnt smell.

“Sorry, sorry. Next time for sure!” Shanks chuckled, raising his hands in surrender and apologizing with no Captain's dignity.

“Hahahaha, Shanks is such a loser.”

“Lucky Roux, teach him a good lesson. Shanks has burnt our grilled meat many times already.”

The other crew members gathered around, unceremoniously laughing and teasing their Captain.

The air was immediately filled with cheerful laughter.

Dressrosa.

“Fufufufufu, I really didn’t choose the wrong business partner.”

Doflamingo, sitting on his throne, looked at the newspaper and laughed heartily.

“Young Master, our business partners have proactively offered to import more weapons from the Beasts.” Trebol reported joyfully, “Many territories we couldn’t enter before have also opened their arms to us.”

The Beasts Pirates, having won the war, greatly increased their brand influence in the world.

During this time, their Doflamingo Family also made a huge profit.

Grand Line, Thriller Bark.

“Kaido, you bastard, you’ve recruited another good subordinate.”

The obese Moriah looked ferocious, as images of the comrades Kaido had killed flashed before his eyes.

“Kaido, you just wait for me. Once I collect enough powerful shadows to revive those strong individuals, I’ll go to Wano Country and take your head!”

“I’ll also make you experience what it’s like to lose subordinates!”

Moriah released his fingers, and the newspaper slid to the ground.

It clearly stated—

Heavenly Disaster Kain.

Dead or alive.

Bounty, 600,000,000 Berries.
