Since they have already arrived here, let's give them a good welcome!"
A gleam flashed in the tall man's eyes.
"But, one of them has 60 million Berries, and the other has 50 million Berries!"
This was not the latter half of the New World.
A bounty exceeding 50 million Berries was already very high.
Could they be a match for Pirates with such bounties??
The leading man understood the hidden meaning.
"Don't worry, bounty doesn't completely represent strength."
"Over the years, we've seen countless Pirates with high bounties."
"The two of them combined already exceed 100 million berries, this risk is worth taking."
He had clearly made his decision.
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking.
One by one, they began to prepare.
Whiskey Peak.
If one didn't know this place, they would surely think it was just a small town that welcomed Pirates.
But in reality, this was a slaughterhouse for Pirates.
Massive numbers of Bounty Hunters gathered here, just waiting for the arrival of Pirates.
At the same time, this was also a subordinate branch of Baroque Works.
Some young Pirates, harboring dreams, came here, only to inexplicably lose their lives.
Some didn't even know how they died.
When Reno and Luffy's group docked the going merry,
They saw many enthusiastic villagers at the port welcoming their arrival.
"Hehehe, the people here are so nice, everyone is so enthusiastic."
Luffy also greeted everyone.
Usopp and Nami also curiously surveyed their surroundings.
Only Reno's eyes flashed with a peculiar light.
Behind this liveliness, who knew what was hidden.
However, he had nothing to worry about.
After all, Crocodile couldn't pose any threat to him right now.
"Ba ba ba."
Just then, the enthusiastic villagers surrounding Luffy and his group parted, creating a path.
A tall man walked out from the middle.
His overall demeanor was somewhat like a minister or noble, a slight incongruity with the noisy villagers around him.
"My friends, welcome to this enthusiastic town!!!"
The man spread his arms, greeting Luffy and the others with the utmost enthusiasm.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the mayor of this town."
"On behalf of the entire town, I extend a warm welcome to you all!!!"
The man appeared very enthusiastic, and his gaze towards Luffy and his group was filled with anticipation.
"Something feels off!!"
The keen Zoro sensed a hint of danger.
Enthusiasm was a good thing.
But excessive enthusiasm was not the case.
Especially towards a stranger.
After all, Zoro was once a Bounty Hunter.
He seemed to smell a familiar scent on these people.
