Chapter 144
The total bounty for all members exceeds one billion.
The sea shook.
The name "Sky's Disaster Journey" soon spread throughout the sea.
…………
Chambord Islands.
"The Sky Disaster Brigade...a troupe that comes from the sky and brings disaster to the world? It's a good name."
Rayleigh, who came to help others coat the boat today, sat on the shore and smiled while looking at the newspaper in his hand.
He looked at the blue sea ahead, took a sip of wine, and a smile flashed through his eyes under the lenses.
Ron, if it were you, could you walk to that island?
…………
Donghai Shuangyue Town.
Koushiro received a call from Ivankov and listened to Ivankov on the other end telling him the news in an excited tone.
Koushiro's eyes widened slightly under his glasses, and then a trace of sincere joy and relief appeared on his face.
"Did those two children finally meet again on the sea..."
"It's... great."
After hanging up the phone, he walked outside the house and saw Zoro, whose upper body was naked and covered in sweat, practicing the three-sword style swordsmanship.
Koushiro, whose temples were slightly white, stood by the door with a smile on his face.
On the distant sea, Kuina and Ron had met again and became famous swordsmen in the sea.
Zoro is also working towards that goal.
Is there anything that would make Koushiro more happy and gratified than seeing the three of them safe and sound, chasing each other step by step, and heading higher in the kendo?
Zoro noticed him, turned around and asked with some confusion: "Director, what's wrong? You seem very happy?"
Koushiro smiled and shook his head:
"No, it's nothing."
He didn't plan to tell Sauron the news just yet, otherwise he would definitely be anxious again.
…………
Windmill Town.
House of bandits.
Dadan looked at the newspaper in his hand, took a puff of cigarette, and said with emotion: "I thought that little black-haired kid was unusual back then. Only a few years later, he has become a famous figure."
"I'm back!"
The door opened with a bang, and Luffy wearing a straw hat rushed in.
He leaned close to Dadan and asked curiously: "What are you looking at? Is there any news about Ace?"
"No, it's not Ace's."
Dadan, with a cigarette in his mouth, pushed him away and leaned forward, blocking his sight with his head: "It belongs to Ron."
"Ron?"
Luffy was stunned for a moment, and then the voice and appearance of a black-haired boy with a calm and calm expression appeared in his mind.
"Ron?!"
He suddenly reacted and asked Dadan in surprise and joy:
"What's wrong with him? Is he okay?!"
"It's very good. Not only is he very good, but he has also become a real big shot with a bounty of 670 million beli."
Dadan's tone was filled with emotion.
How strong do you have to be to be rewarded by the Navy with a reward of 670 million Baileys?
It's simply unimaginable.
"670 million..."
Luffy was stunned, and then his eyes shone with great excitement and excitement:
"Awesome!! As expected of Ron!!"
After he excitedly punched the air for a while, he lay down on the table, tilted his head and looked out the window, his face full of longing and yearning:
"That's great..."
"That Ron has already become famous in the sea, and Ace has already gone to sea. It seems that I will go to sea soon..."
"There are still three years left..."
"It feels so long, and time passes so slowly."
"Three years is not a long time."
Dadan looked out the window and blew out a smoke ring: "It passed in a blink of an eye."
…………
A small island in the East China Sea.
"The Air Brigade is such a cool name. Those guys in the Navy can come up with some good names sometimes."
Bucky and his men were drinking in the pub, looking at the newspaper in their hands and saying:
"Traveller Ron, the bounty is 670 million Baileys... Tsk, tsk, he is really an incredible big shot."
"It's great to have inherited the ability of the Golden Lion, unlike me...that bastard Shanks!" Bucky wanted to cry when he remembered his experience of eating the Devil Fruit, and couldn't help but pour wine into his mouth.
"Ron the Traveler, is he the one in the legend of the East China Sea?"
A female voice came from the side.
The drunk clown Bucky nodded and replied: "Yes."
"Hey... didn't he just offer a reward of 430 million beli some time ago? Why did it suddenly increase again?"
Listening to the very surprised female voice.
"You don't know this? Haven't you heard about the recent North Sea incident? That traveler Ron escaped from the hands of Admiral Akainu and Navy hero Garp, and..."
Bucky, who was so drunk, kept talking as if he was experiencing it himself. Coupled with his rich body expressions, people in the pub gathered around him unknowingly.
By the time Bucky came back to his senses, the newspaper in front of him had disappeared at some point.
In the corner of the tavern, a girl with short orange hair sat there and read the newspaper she stole from Bucky.
"The Disaster Journey in the Sky..."
"You guys are really awesome."
Nami dragged her cheeks and looked at the photos of familiar people such as Ron and Robin on the reward notices in the newspaper, with a crooked smile.
………………
129. Teaching breathing techniques
Next to a small uninhabited island in the North Sea.
The Voyager docked off the coast of the island.
Robin, Conis and the others went to collect clean water and fruits, while Bonnie and Kung Fu Manatee Xiaoqi went hunting and stored meat.
Ron and Kuina were fighting swordsmanship near the coast.
Ron held the black knife and broke Kuina's double-sword style with one knife. The dark crescent-like slashing trend continued to fall on the coast not far away, completely cutting off a small piece of coast and sinking into the sea.
Kuina turned her head to look at the collapsed coast in the distance behind her, and then looked at Ron who was slowly sheathing his knife in front of her, and couldn't help sighing:
"I still can't beat you."
"You have become much stronger than before. To be honest, it's beyond my expectation."
Ron said seriously.
Kuina's swordsmanship is now almost at the level of cutting iron, and her armed color domineering is about level 3. With the two-sword swordsmanship and shallow breathing method she developed, her strength is definitely not weak.
Hearing what Ron said, Kuina smiled and said to Ron: "So, I have successfully fulfilled the promise made on that snowy night, right?"
On that snowy night before they parted, she and Ron made a promise that when they met next time, she would become a female swordsman who would surprise him.
Ron, with a black knife hanging on his waist, smiled and nodded to her.
"That's true."
...
After collecting a lot of supplies and leaving the island.
Ron and his friends learned the latest news in the North Sea.
