In the Capital of Seven Waters, Amber and the others finally returned after several hours of sailing.
"Look, it's the boss!"
"They succeeded!!!"
Franky's boys shouted loudly.
They, Iceburg's studio, and other insiders had been waiting near the dock.
"Guys, I'm back!" Franky responded loudly while standing on the bow of the boat, making quite perverted movements.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they went back to recover from their injuries, especially Zoro, who had suffered multiple fatal wounds and was now wrapped like a mummy.
While Amber and the others were relaxing, the world once again erupted in a huge storm because of their actions.
...
A few days later, news titled "Evil Pirates" and the latest bounty of the Sky Shadow Pirates spread to every known sea area in the world, carried by the news birds.
"Look, everyone! Our latest bounty is out!" Nami, Robin, and Conis came back from shopping, holding a stack of bounty posters in their hands.
"Where is it? Where is it?" The one most excited was Chopper, who had always been worried about his 50 Beli bounty from last time.
"Look! Captain, the Marines changed your title and called you the 'Evil Pirate'!" Nami pointed at Amber's bounty poster and showed it to him.
Amber's bounty poster read:
"Thor" Amber, a vicious pirate with a bounty of 800 million Beli, dead or alive! The mastermind of the Enies Lobby incident, he led his pirate group to attack Enies Lobby, causing great damage. (Note: It is said that "Thor" Amber already has the strength to fight a Marine Admiral alone. Admiral Aokiji was stationed at Enies Lobby at the time and ultimately allowed all members of the Sky Shadow Pirates to escape. This information was provided by an unknown source. Whether true or false, this newspaper is not responsible!)
"Wow! Amber, you have become so powerful! The title of Thor is so cool!" Chopper said admiringly.
"According to the Marines' habits, how could they take the initiative to expose Amber's record of fighting an Admiral alone? Doesn't this severely encourage the pirates' arrogance?" Nami asked curiously.
"It's very simple. It's nothing more than praise. This news spreads the rumor 'I have the strength to fight an Admiral.' People who see this news will be more suspicious. We will be in trouble in the future, and countless people with prestige and bounties will come after us."
"On the other hand, they also named me a god. Those big pirates who have been famous for a long time will never tolerate a newcomer surpassing them. The Four Emperors, Warlords of the Sea, they may all become our enemies. Sengoku is very good at killing people with a borrowed sword," Amber said calmly, seeing through Sengoku's plan.
The bounty posters for the other members are as follows:
"Warrior" Roronoa Zoro, with a bounty of 120 million Beli, dead or alive!
"Queen of the Desert" Nami, with a bounty of 100 million Beli, dead or alive!
"Son of the Devil" Nico Robin, with a bounty of 80 million Beli, dead or alive!
"Angel" Conis, with a bounty of 15 million Beli, dead or alive!
"Pet" Tony Tony Chopper, with a bounty of 100 Beli, dead or alive!
...
After an inexplicable silence.
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Everyone laughed happily, except Chopper, who opened his mouth wide and looked stunned.
"Hahaha... Chopper, good job!" Zoro laughed and patted Chopper's hat.
"Zoro, don't be like that. No matter what, Chopper's bounty has improved. It has doubled compared to last time, hahahaha!" Nami defended Chopper at first, but then couldn't help but laugh.
After a moment of joy, Amber suddenly discovered there was a bounty notice at the bottom.
"Cyborg" Franky, with a bounty of 20 million Beli, dead or alive!
"It seems that Franky has been regarded by the Marines as a member of our Sky Shadow Pirates," Amber observed, thinking about how to get Franky on board.
...
On the other side of Seven Waters City, at Franky's House.
"Boss, boss, something bad has happened!!!"
A young man hurriedly ran in with a bounty notice.
"Huh? What happened?" Franky asked doubtfully.
"Boss, you are wanted by the Marines."
"Nani!!!"
...
New World, Whitebeard's territory, aboard the Moby Dick.
"They actually gave this newcomer the title of 'Thor.' What is the Marine thinking? Are they crazy?"
"But if the rumor that he has the strength to fight a Marine Admiral alone is true, it is indeed worthy of the title 'Thor.'"
"What nonsense are you talking about? These rumors in the news, who knows where they come from. No matter how powerful that kid is, he has captain-level strength at best."
The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates had a heated discussion about today's news. Some believed that Amber was not worthy of the title of god, while others questioned Amber's combat power. It seems that gossip is a part of human nature, regardless of the world.
"Marco, what do you think?" Whitebeard asked Marco next to him with interest.
"I think that even if this newcomer does not have the strength to fight against an Admiral, he must have the strength to delay an Admiral for a short period. Otherwise, with an Admiral at Enies Lobby, I can't imagine how they all escaped." Marco analyzed rationally.
"However, newcomers like this are easily swayed by reputation. After arriving in the New World, they may come to challenge our pirate group and want to defeat Dad to gain greater fame, just like Crocodile."
"Gulalala... If he is not afraid of death, let him come. I'll take him on as many times as he wants. I am Whitebeard!" Whitebeard waved his hand boldly and said indifferently.
...
New World, Red Force.
"Hahaha, Hawkeye, after all your hard work, let's have a party!!!" Shanks took a bottle of wine, took a sip, and then said drunkenly to a man with eyes like a hawk.
This man is the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Hawkeye slapped Shanks' arm off his shoulders in disgust, then took out a bounty poster and threw it to Shanks.
"This newcomer is quite interesting. He has only been out at sea for a few months, and he has already turned the sea upside down." Hawkeye said expressionlessly.
"Thor? What a title for a newcomer! The Marines actually gave him the title of god. It seems the meaning of their praise is self-evident." Shanks took a sip of wine.
"Why, are you interested in this new guy? You want to fight him?"
Hawkeye shook his head, "This guy is not a swordsman. I am not very interested in fighting him. What I am interested in is his crew member, Roronoa Zoro. His eyes are very determined and he is a very pure swordsman."
"Oh!? To be praised by you, the world's greatest swordsman, it seems that this 'Thor' Amber's partner is no small person!"
The two exchanged a few words, and then Hawkeye took his coffin-like boat out to sea, aiming for the first half of the Grand Line.
