While staring at Yuki's picture in the newspaper, The atmosphere on the merry go was extremely tense making Usopp and Nami gulp slightly, but then the monster trio suddenly grinned and Luffy ended up saying "Yurei said that Yuki will always be our friend, that's all that matters… we need to grow stronger so the next time we meet him, we can beat him up for leaving without saying goodbye!"
"Ah! I will cut him up into pieces!" Spoke Zoro with an eerie grin while Sanji exhaled some smoke and said "I don't mind hammering him with some kicks as well…"
"Jeez, you guys scared me for a moment…" Thought Nami as she folded the newspaper but suddenly, a stack of brown papers fell from it and she couldn't help but hold them curiously making her yelp in surprise!
"T-These are, our bounties?" muttered Nami as Usopp picked them up and started saying them out loud
"The Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro – Bounty 60.000.000 B"
"Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy – Bounty 100.000.000 B"
"The Living Ghost Yurei Chibana – Bounty 120.000.000 B"
"Oh even Yurei got a bounty and he's higher than me?" Muttered Luffy with an annoyed look while Zoro simply sharpened his sword coldly and said "I feel like cutting that creep even more now" but he couldn't help but feel a shiver right after and look over a shoulder as if a certain creep might be floating there silently... Thankfully, there wasn't any this time.
"Shut up moss head, at least you got a bounty... why didn't I get one?" Yelled Sanji but Zoro simply smirked and said "Tsk, at least they know who's useless and who's not on this ship!"
"Bastard! want to fight?"
"What did you call me?"
The duo started butting heads again but Usopp's hands suddenly started shaking as he stared at the last poster in his hand…
"What's wrong Usopp?" Asked Luffy curiously and Usopp simply stuttered with a frightened look on his face before he said "T-T-this is Yuki's Wanted poster!"
"Ehhh, what's his bounty?" spoke Luffy excitedly and even Robin leaned in slightly to hear more clearly while Zoro and Sanji stopped fighting
Usopp gulped slightly and said loudly "The Enigma Yuki Chibana – Bounty 500.000.000 B!"
This ship instantly grew eerily silent before they burst out in cheers, each for their own reasons, however, Robin suddenly had a few drops of sweat falling down the side of her face as she wondered 'He knew of my identity yet he did nothing… Why? Why did someone as strong as he is help me get with this innocent crew?'
However, there was no one to answer her question…
As the Strawhats were shocked by their new bounties and Yuki's crazy bounty, the man in question was currently on a marine ship that belonged to none other than the vice admiral Garp.
It has yet to set sail, but Yuki could see from the distance countless people waving at him and thanking him for helping them restore their city. Vivi, Cobra, and even old man Toto were among them, bringing a smile to his face…
"Yuki! Make sure to come visit us again and say hi to Luffy and the others if you ever meet them!" Yelled Vivi at the top of her lungs while waving her hands... Meanwhile, Cobra had an awkward smile on his face as he recalled how Yuki asked for 10% of the recovered valuables from the rubble and he couldn't help but wonder if he only retrieved them to help the people ot so that he could simply take a share from the start…
"HAHAHA, Sure sure, and don't worry, I will make sure to come back to this beautiful kingdom, after all, your father got ma money… Keep it safe for me, Cobra-chan" Yelled Yuki and it immediately caused Cobra's face to darken even further while his guards simply smiled and didn't take it to heart as they knew that the price Yuki asked for was simply too small… they would have given him even more if he so wished for it…
…
As Yuki and his friends said their goodbyes in this scene filled with emotions and joy, some marines under Garp and Smoker couldn't help but mutter "Why are they cheering a dangerous pirate like this?"
Tashigi frowned slightly when she heard this, but before she could say anything, Garp had already rained some fists of love on them and yelled "If you don't want people to celebrate these pirates, then we should do our jobs properly as marines…"

Smoker noticed the melancholy on Garp's face and he couldn't help but clench his hands tightly at the rotten system ruling the world… 'I won't be a slave to this system, I will follow my own justice no matter the consequences' Muttered Smoker to himself as he stared at Yuki who had a silly look on his face while counting a stack of money in his hand…
…
Meanwhile, Yuki was currently happily thinking 'I can't believe my Basic earth manipulation increased by 2 more levels during these two days, this world is truly a heaven for training skills… My Haki as well increased tremendously and I even gained quite a bit of money which I will be able to use in the future…'
With a smile on his face, Yuki calmly said 'Status' and his new and improved status instantly appeared in front of him

'Amazing, my training with Sabo for 10 days only helped me raise my Armament and Observation Haki by 1 level, but this fight with Doflamingo that took less than a day allowed me to achieve the same results… It seems like the effectiveness of Limit Breaker is truly broken…' Yuki's eyes lit up slightly as he felt like this world was probably going to turn him into a battle maniac…
However, he eventually shook off these thoughts and approached Garp before he said "Oy Garp-san, why did the world government put such a high bounty on me when they intend to make me a warlord of the sea?"
This point truly confused Yuki but Garp simply narrowed his eyes as he ate a cracker before he said "Those old geezers never change their old tricks…"
The moment Yuki heard this, his mind exploded with countless wicked thoughts courtesy of his wicked ability but Garp's next words snapped him out of his eerie state "They are trying to put a target on your back to force you into accepting this position, as well as to make you fear letting go of it in the future as you will be hunted for your bounty... Consider it a silent threat saying they will hunt you down if you ever want to leave your position as a warlord…"
Hearing this, Yuki's eyes narrowed and shined with a terrifying light as Garp kept his eyes on him and observed every single one of his actions, but then he only saw him smile and shrug "Well, whatever, I don't really care about such petty tricks, they are the ones that need me not the other way around…'
'This kid… he clearly has plans in mind and he doesn't care at all about the world government… Was it really wise to nominate him for this position?' wondered Garp before his face was instantly full of rage as he punched Yuki away whose hand was mere millimeters away from his cracker box "Little brat, you are still years away from stealing my crackers!"
"Tch, who would want your crackers you fucking dirty gorilla!" yelled Yuki back prompting Garp to come running at him and ready to beat him up but Yuki simply ran away to avoid any confrontation with this old monster while thinking
'I still have a long way to go if I want to learn how to sneak attack someone like Garp… and steal from him as well' However, he soon found himself caught by Garp and they started fighting on the ship which they almost destroyed if not for the marines trying their hardest to separate them from each other. However, Garp simply fell asleep mid-yelling while Yuki robbed everyone that was close to him and went to the kitchen to find something to eat
"Tsk, Why do I feel like his guy is going to be worse than Crocodile and Doflamingo?" Muttered Smoker who was watching the ruckus and Tashigi who was helping everyone separate Yuki from Garp overheard him and couldn't help but approach him and say "Don't say that Smoker-san, Yuki-san seems like a nice person even though he's a pirate"
Smoker stared at her with a sarcastic smile on his face before he said "Really? Doesn't your waist feel a bit lighter?"
"Eh?" Tashigi was surprised as her hand instinctively reached for her sword but she didn't find anything there and she immediately panicked "AHHHH MY PRECIOUS SHIGURE, YUKI GIVE IT BACK!" Then she started running to the kitchen followed by the many marines who discovered their pockets had gotten lighter…
"What a mess…" Muttered Smoker and extended his hand to get a cigar from his shoulder strap but he found it empty… "THAT BASTARD!" Then he ran to the kitchen as well…
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ship, the sleeping Garp was suddenly approached by his right-hand man Bogard who was wearing a detective's brown suit with a marine cloak over it "Garp-san, do you think the fleet admiral and the other admirals are going to accept him?"
Garp's eyes suddenly opened into a small slit before he stood up and responded with a contemplative look on his face "I hope they do… otherwise I will just have to force them hahahahaha"
"Guess I shouldn't have asked" Replied Bogard with a slight smile on his face as he listened to the fighting sound coming from the kitchen before Yuki exited alone with a plate full of roasted meat…
