After a banquet together, their journey here concluded.
The Straw Hat Pirates set sail once more!
Feeling the gentle breeze, cool and refreshing.
Reno took deep breaths of the fresh air.
They had just entered the Grand Line and already encountered a crewmate of Pirate King Roger.
This couldn't help but make the others look forward to the upcoming adventures even more.
However, the subsequent encounters with extremely harsh weather conditions immediately dealt a severe blow to everyone.
High-temperature volcanoes, hail the size of small islands, and strange seaweeds capable of entangling an entire ship.
It was impossible to guard against them.
In the end, they managed to overcome each difficulty, albeit with some scares.
However, when everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, they realized something.
The two people they had captured earlier had disappeared.
Looking at the untied ropes, they immediately understood.
Since they escaped on their own, it was no longer their concern.
Whether they lived or died was up to fate.
When the Going Merry finally sailed into an area without wind or waves,
After a short rest, they saw the outline of a town in the mist.
Their first destination after entering the Grand Line was finally approaching.
Meanwhile,
Whiskey Peak.
By the sea.
Two figures suddenly emerged from the ocean.
After coming ashore, they collapsed weakly on the bank.
They were quickly discovered by nearby people.
A tall man quickly rushed over.
Upon seeing the two people's appearance, he was greatly surprised.
"Didn't you two go hunting whales?? How did you end up so disheveled??"
Seeing their miserable state, the man asked, puzzled.
Was that whale so powerful??
They both couldn't handle it!
"Stop talking, just help us inside first."
Saying this was already their limit.
Escaping from the storm and then swimming all the way back was already quite an achievement.
Everyone helped them back and warmed them up.
After regaining some strength, the two finally recounted their encounter.
"A Pirate Crew that just entered the Grand Line??"
Based on their description, the man deduced that they were probably an inexperienced group who had impulsively set sail.
He had seen many such people.
It was nothing surprising.
Just then, one of his subordinates brought over the latest bounty poster.
"Here are the latest Pirate bounty posters from the four seas. See if the group you encountered is among them??"
The man placed the bounty poster in front of the two.
The two quickly flipped through them.
Soon.
"It's him, it's those two!"
The two simultaneously pointed at the bounty poster and exclaimed.
"Hmm? Are you sure it's those two??"
"Yes, we are very sure!"
"A guy with a straw hat, and the world's greatest handsome man!"
"Straw Hat Pirates??"
"Captain Luffy, bounty 50 million Berries!"
"first mate Reno, bounty 60 million Berries!"
"Is the bounty amount wrong?? Is the first mate's bounty higher than the Captain's??"
Everyone was a bit incredulous.
"Alright, let's not speculate here."
