One Piece: My Crew is from Other World-Chapter 76: The Aftermath

Chapter 76: The Aftermath

After hearing what Ace said, Ryuunosuke couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment wash over him.

Now he truly understood why Garp couldn't hold back from beating the crap out of these guys sometimes.

Faced with such a clueless brother, Ryuunosuke also felt the urge to throw hands.

"Let's just keep sailing," he said flatly. "Just wanted to give you a heads-up."

With that, he turned and headed back to the cabin for a bath. If he stayed any longer, he might actually lose control and punch Ace in the face.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ugh... I just realized how damn annoying it is without that news bird delivering the paper."

Ryuunosuke had been waiting for a week to see the updated bounty posters, eager to know how much their heads were worth now.

Then it hit him. freewёbnoνel.com

They'd eaten the news bird.

And pissed off Morgans.

Now, the damn bird wouldn't even fly near their ship. The moment it spotted the Dragon Hunter Pirates' flag, it did a full U-turn and vanished.

Can't blame it. No one wants to end up as bird stew.

"Peru-peru..."

At that moment, Chrollo's call came through.

"Captain, I've seen the new bounty posters," Chrollo said. "I took a shot with the Video Den Den Mushi and sent it over."

Ryuunosuke picked up the Mushi and watched.

[Captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates – The Evil Captain, Ryuunosuke – Bounty: 600 million berries.]

[First Division Captain – Iron Hand Najenda – Bounty: 450 million berries.]

[First Division Member – Akame, One-Strike Killer – Bounty: 380 million berries.]

[Second Division Captain – The Controller, Chrollo – Bounty: 480 million berries.]

And finally...

[Whitebeard Pirates, Second Division Captain – Fire Fist Ace – Bounty: 800 million berries.]

Ryuunosuke blinked. Not only had his own bounty increased, but Ace's had skyrocketed.

"Chrollo, you got any clue why Ace's bounty suddenly jumped?" he asked, frowning. "If it's because of his identity, it should be even higher. But Garp wouldn't just expose that, right?"

"No idea yet," Chrollo replied. "I'm on my way from the Kingdom of Baruto. Strange things are happening lately."

"How so?"

"Every pirate crew we run into turns tail the second they see our flag," Chrollo said, calm as ever. "Also, I recruited some new crew... but had to kill them. Navy plants."

Ryuunosuke raised an eyebrow.

"The Navy tried to infiltrate us?"

"Yeah. Sent pirates undercover. But they came to me." Chrollo chuckled darkly. "I sniffed them out easy. Mind abilities are real handy."

Ryuunosuke leaned back, exhaling slowly. The Navy actually tried to sneak spies into the Dragon Hunter Pirates? That was a bold move... and one he hadn't seen coming.

"Got it. Keep sailing. Find us a decent stop. And Chrollo," he added, "head to Alabasta. Be there in a month."

"Understood."

"Oh, Captain," Chrollo said, voice laced with curiosity. "I've seen a lot of interesting things lately. If I like something... can I keep it?"

Ryuunosuke narrowed his eyes. "You mean Devil Fruits and ability users?"

"Exactly."

"You can collect Devil Fruits, sure. But there's no need to keep the people. Their powers vanish when they die, and the fruits get reborn."

"I see. Still, forming a Devil Fruit unit could be useful. I'll look into it."

"Fine. Do as you please." Ryuunosuke ended the call there.

He glanced at Ace, who was fast asleep nearby.

With a bounty of 800 million on his head, the idiot was still snoring like a baby.

Elsewhere, on an island deep within the Grand Line...

"Teach, are you hesitating because you're not confident you can take down the Dragon Hunter Pirates?" Lafitte asked, his expression puzzled.

He hadn't expected Blackbeard to change plans so suddenly.

"Take them down?" Teach scoffed. "Even Garp had to step in. You think I'm stupid? The government's been hiding their real strength."

He shook his head.

"Six hundred million berries? Please. Their actual power might rival the Four Emperors."

Lafitte's brow furrowed. "So if we go after them now, we're just walking into death."

"Exactly," Teach said coldly. "Back when I was on the run from Whitebeard's crew, things were already dicey. Now, with the Dragon Hunters in play, we're up against two monsters."

He paused, fear flickering in his eyes.

"Most pirates can't see it yet, but I can. These guys are not to be messed with."

"So you want to go to the Navy Headquarters?" Lafitte asked. "You really think they'll agree to team up with pirates?"

"If something goes wrong, the Navy's the one that'll take the heat," Teach replied. "And honestly, it's our safest bet."

Burgess wandered over, scratching his head. "You sure Pops would attack the Navy just to get you back?"

"Not sure," Teach said with a shrug. "But at least in the Navy's custody, I won't get stomped by Whitebeard."

Doc Q walked over, smiling faintly. "No complaints here. I actually respect your guts, Teach. Let's see how it plays out."

The rest of the Blackbeard Pirates nodded. Whether they fully agreed or not, they recognized Teach's leadership.

Before heading to the Navy Headquarters, though, Teach had one more thing to do—something that would prove his value to the Navy and ensure they took his offer seriously.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted in the world once more.

The Navy was in crisis.

Kaido had taken advantage of their battle with the Dragon Hunter Pirates to launch a sneak attack on Impel Down.

He'd broken in and freed countless criminals before being stopped by Magellan. But even Magellan couldn't contain everything. The Three Calamities had overwhelmed the jailers, and many inmates had escaped in the chaos.

Restoring Impel Down—and hunting down the escapees—became the Navy's top priority.

For a time, the Grand Line descended into pure chaos... all thanks to the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
