Chapter 63 The Banquet! A Pirate Crew with a Bounty Exceeding One Billion!Water Seven,The sunset sank into the sea, dyeing the waves crimson. Gulls flew across the light, and the afterglow washed over their feet, making their footprints hot.The Straw Hat was having a barbecue by the swimming pool, and soon, too many people were attracted.People from Galley-La Company, people from Franky House, the giants Oimo and Kashi, the kings Blueno and Gomorrah.Soon, smoke rose, and the banquet... began!Luffy sat cross-legged on a wine barrel, his mouth full of freshly grilled sea beast meat, indistinctly raising a wooden cup and shouting "Cheers!" Behind him, Zoro was competing with Franky in drinking, completely oblivious to the wine stains on his green hair tips.Sanji was bustling around the makeshift stove, the sizzling of the barbecue mixed with everyone's laughter and the clinking of bottles, weaving a lively net in the sea breeze.No one mentioned the fierce battle at Enies Lobby; at this moment, there was only the aroma of barbecue, the mellow taste of sweet wine, and the undisguised ease and trust in the eyes of his companions—this was a feast for the victors.Robin leaned against the wall, holding a wine glass, feeling the joyful atmosphere of the banquet, and couldn't help but reveal a beautiful smile.Suddenly, she let out an involuntary chuckle.It turned out that Luffy was inserting two long chopsticks between his nostrils and chin; it seemed he was always this happy at almost every banquet."Hey, hey, Luffy, be serious!" Nami walked up to Luffy, extending her hands to pull out the chopsticks.Robin chuckled and ran over, "Do you want me to try it too?""Come on, come on, Robin!""Absolutely not, Robin-nee!"...Holy Land Mary Geoise,Located at the top of the Red Line, a huge castle stood tall, surrounded by lush forests and winding rivers. Under the blue sky and white clouds, it was like a paradise.Inside a luxurious conference hall, rare jewels illuminated the room, and the Gorosei sat on expensive sofas, the air heavy."It failed! I didn't expect the five-year undercover plan to be ruined!" Satan Saint spoke calmly, his tone betraying no emotion."It doesn't matter; the pluton blueprint is not very useful to us. We haven't mastered too many technologies. Even if it has existed in the world for many years, there is only one Pluton in the world!" Mercury Saint brewed tea at the conference table."Or, what we should be more concerned about is that Monkey brat. According to our speculation, he must have eaten that legendary fruit." Venus Saint adjusted his glasses."Don't worry about it. For eight hundred years, that fruit has been eaten by countless people, but no one has been able to awaken it. Although that brat has great talent, he is still just a small ripple in the era!" Satan Saint said with disdain."But the bounty still needs to be set. Sengokusuggested a bounty of 1.8 billion Berries!""That's too high; it will make the World Government seem incompetent! It must be lowered!""Seconded!""Seconded!"...For seven consecutive days, the Straw Hat played in Water Seven!Late at night, the Straw Hat had long been asleep.Work on Dock Town in Water Seven was still ongoing.Iceberg and Franky looked at the improved and perfected going merry, revealing smiles of relief and satisfaction."Straw Hat's ship has finally been improved, and it's almost unrecognizable!" Iceberg laughed, "And this big ship is finally taking shape; what a shocking design, Franky!""Hey!" Franky laughed, "It's just a pity that no powerful weapons were added. Otherwise, it would be even stronger!""Hahaha," Iceberg patted Franky's shoulder, "No choice, time is too tight after all. We'll find time to slowly improve it later!""Hahaha!" Kokoro drank her sake, watching the two working together with relief. 'They're cooperating now! That's great! Tom, you must be very happy in heaven too!'Soon, the Galley-La Company workers were all tired and asleep.Only the two master and apprentice brothers, originally from Tom's workshop, were still swinging their wooden hammers."Iceberg, don't push yourself. Go to sleep!""You too!""Unfortunately, I'm very energetic right now!""Sorry, so am I!"The two looked at each other and smiled.Gradually, the East turned white... Inside the apartment,Nami looked at the log pose, which had accumulated enough magnetic field, with a happy expression."The log is full; the log pose points to the next island. All that's left is the ship!"Luffy walked over, "Franky said the Merry has been modified and is super awesome. He wants us to go see it!"Everyone smiled; the pirates' adventure was about to begin again."Do you know where you'll go if you continue sailing?" Kokoro suddenly pointed at the log posein Nami's hand.The pointer was strangely deflecting downwards."Huh? I don't know, where is it?" After the experience on Sky Island, Nami no longer doubted whether the pointer was faulty."The next island is the underwater paradise, Fish-Man Island!"Everyone was a bit stunned, except for Sanji, whose eyes turned into red hearts."Fish... Fish-Man Island, are we finally going?""Anyway, let's go see the ship first!" Luffy, pulling Sanji, who was lost in a world of fantasy, had just stepped out the door when he saw a subordinate from Franky House rushing over."It's bad! Have you seen the wanted posters? Your bounty is an incredible number, straw hat! And everyone else has been wanted too!"The subordinate took out a stack of wanted posters and handed them to Luffy!Everyone crowded their heads together."straw hat" Luffy, Bounty: 1 Billion Berries!"pirate hunter" Roronoa Zoro, Bounty: 320 Million Berries!"Black Leg" Sanji, Bounty: 300 Million Berries!
