Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Completely Stopped Being Human
Chapter 363: Completely Stopped Being Human
The morning sun was just right, warm and gentle on the face without feeling scorching. Whenever a breeze blew past, it would bring a trace of coolness, refreshing the mind and spirit, as if all troubles were purified.
In Cocoyasi Village, the faint warm sun fell on the dense tangerine grove, making the lush green flash with golden points of light. It then passed through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled tree shadows on a young girl’s face.
She flicked her purple hair behind her with her fingertips. Two years had passed, and Nojiko had also grown into a mature beauty that was even more alluring. She put down the shears for trimming leaves, walked out of the tangerine grove, and followed a country path all the way to the town.
Creak~
"Honestly. You’re not calling the Marines to complain again, are you?"
Nojiko opened the wooden door and walked into the house, shaking her head and sighing with a laugh.
Genzo sat at the table with his arms and legs spread out, forcefully pressing the numbers of various Marine branches, while at the same time, he grumbled angrily:
"What are these Marines doing! It’s one thing to issue a wanted poster for a cute girl, but to use such a sexy photo... anyone who didn’t know better would think it was a marriage proposal!"
"Disgraceful! It’s simply too disgraceful! We must make them take down such a shameful photo!"
"Give it up. You have the nerve to talk about others."
Nojiko couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. On the wall was a photo that had been enlarged to cover the entire surface, Nami’s sexy figure on full display.
Weather Queen Nami, Bounty—1,120,000,000 Berries!
Genzo continued to tirelessly dial the phone, like a stubborn old father who could never stand to see his daughter be taken advantage of by other men.
Nojiko smiled and said helplessly, trying to console him:
"Alright, Genzo. Don’t be so old-fashioned. If you’re worried about someone coveting Nami, you’re probably overthinking it."
Nojiko walked to Genzo’s side and sat down. She casually tossed him a freshly picked tangerine and said with a smile:
"It’s been rumored for a long time that Nami is very close to that Reiner on their ship. Instead of worrying about the photo, you should be more worried about what to do if she gets carried off by him in the future."
"What! Why are you only telling me this now, Nojiko!!"
Hearing this, Genzo was instantly furious. The image of Reiner appeared in his mind, and his eyes were about to spew flames of anger. He gritted his teeth and shouted:
"It’s actually that brat! I knew he was no good from the moment I saw him! A simple girl like Nami is still too easily deceived when she’s out there!"
Nami... simple?
Your filter is a bit thick. Nojiko smiled but said nothing.
She had a good impression of Reiner, but for Genzo, who saw himself as a father, it was definitely different. In his eyes, Nami would always be a simple young girl, and all the men who got close to Nami would never be good people.
Nojiko rested her face on her hand and said with a smile:
"With Nami’s personality, no one can take advantage of her. If she really wants to marry someone, it’s useless for you to fuss about it here."
"M-m-m... marriage?!!"
Genzo stammered, his face flushing red.
The last time someone had mentioned those two words to him was when Belle-mère was teasing him. He had also blushed just like now.
Belle-mère was always like that. Nami’s personality is just like hers, Nojiko thought.
I almost forgot. Genzo has never been married either. Don’t tell me he’s still an old virgin?
Covering her mouth to hold back her laughter, Nojiko stood up and left, leaving Genzo alone in the room, still grumbling angrily.
A cool breeze blew, carrying a hint of sweet tangerine.
On the first half of the Grand Line, in Water 7, renowned throughout the world for its shipbuilding technology, in the Galley-La Company office...
"Th-this is!"
"Hey, I know he’s a pervert, but isn’t this a bit too perverted?"
Led by Iceburg, the several foremen of Dock One were crowded around a desk, staring at the wanted poster on it, their brows tightly furrowed.
"Cyborg Franky... that’s his epithet and name, right."
"But what’s with this weird photo?"
"To think it would come to this, Franky."
Iceburg held his forehead and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
On the wanted poster, Franky’s figure was gone. In its place was a mech that, judging by its surroundings, was clearly over ten meters tall.
It was very cool, but...
"Sigh~"
"To actually walk down this path of no return."
"Cyborgs are so scary."
The several foremen shook their heads and sighed.
It was clear they had already mistaken this mech for Franky himself.
Remembering how Franky used to complain that he couldn’t reach his back and thus couldn’t completely turn himself into a cyborg, Iceburg felt that this child’s future was a bleak one.
This pervert has completely stopped being human.
The wanted posters of the Straw Hat crew and the Cross Guild had spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed. Naturally, the subjects themselves had also received them.
In the latter half of the New World, on a sunny day with a gentle breeze on the sea, a sheep-headed sailboat slowly pushed through the waves. A cloud floated lazily in the azure sky, moving parallel to the small boat.
"Su——Per!!"
Clang!
On the lawn of the deck, Franky held his arms together above his head, looking very excited.
The reason was none other than this: the person whose bounty had increased the most in the entire pirate crew this time was him. The anger he had initially felt because of the photo had now completely dissipated.
"1,060,000,000 Berries! It’s more than doubled,嗷!"
Franky’s overflowing passion was written all over his face.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’ve made it, Franky."
Reiner, sunbathing on a lounge chair, took the wanted poster off his face and smiled faintly.
Queen’s bounty was 1.3 billion Berries. Franky had defeated him in front of everyone, so a sharp increase in his bounty was to be expected.
Although he hadn’t mastered Haki, the upper limit of technology was not low, especially the power of lasers, which were extremely difficult to defend against even with Haki.
The Strike Freedom mech he had used when fighting Queen was still quite reliant on the terrifying defense brought by the undead Jozu. After he had used up the technology Queen had given him to upgrade the mech again, even if he no longer used an undead for modification, Franky’s strength could truly match this bounty.
"Yo, why isn’t the Moss-head talking today?"
Under a tree in a corner of the grass, Sanji sauntered over and said sarcastically. Zoro was leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed and didn’t bother with him, but the vein popping on his forehead still exposed the anger he was suppressing in his heart.
"Your bounty has gone up quite a bit, hasn’t it? 1,711,000,000 Berries."
Seeing that Zoro was unmoved, the insatiable Sanji became even more arrogant. He leaned in close to Zoro’s ear and said teasingly:
"Why the long face? Aren’t you happy... number four?"
"You bastard...!!"
That’s the last straw!
Zoro gritted his teeth, and the veins on his temples bulged.
"Don’t be so arrogant, you perverted cook! I’ll send you to your release right now!"
Clang!!
"Who’s afraid of who, Moss-head? As number three, I generously accept your challenge."
Sanji’s sarcastic expression was still extremely punchable.
"Accept... a challenge..."
Angry and cold!
Zoro gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and charged up.
"I’ll definitely kill you!"
