As Kai flipped through the pages, two pieces of paper fell out from between the newspaper's pages.
Yamato picked up the two papers that had fallen onto the table and showed them to Kai, exclaiming with genuine delight: "Kai, these have our photos on them!"
Kai stroked his chin and examined them thoughtfully: "Mm, one is a bounty poster, and the other is also a bounty poster."
Yamato complained with obvious confusion: "Then you could have just said they were two bounty posters."
Kai shook his head with amusement: "You don't understand. This is a famous quote."
"Is it really?"
Yamato didn't dwell on it and turned to admire their photos: "I look very cool in the photo."
Indeed she did.
In the photo, Yamato displayed a resolute expression while wielding her massive kanabo. Although her beautiful face was stained with dust, it didn't detract from the image. Instead, it gave her a heroic and spirited appearance.
The photo on Kai's bounty poster was captured at the moment he thanked Kizaru after being severely injured by him.
Though he was covered in blood at the time, that confident smile didn't make him look pathetic. Instead, it gave him a bold and heroic aura.
Still quite impressive, flame photographer.
Kai hadn't noticed anyone photographing him at that time.
Of course, what deserved the most attention wasn't the photos, but the bounty amounts displayed below them.
It was a number that even surprised him.
"What exactly did Kizaru say when he went back?"
Kai complained with obvious frustration.
Now everyone across the seas would know his name.
In the New World, at Totto Land...
This was a sea area centered on Whole Cake Island with 34 satellite islands distributed around it and also the Charlotte Family's stronghold.
On Whole Cake Island, the increasingly corpulent Charlotte Linlin was stuffing cream cake into her mouth while staring intently at the wanted poster photos of Kai and Yamato.
"Natural Disaster Kai? Demon Princess Yamato?"
"That brat Kaido really has an excellent subordinate and talented daughter!"
Hearing the displeasure in Mama's tone, the Charlotte Family's eldest son, Perospero, holding a candy cane and sticking out his long tongue, quickly said: "Mama, please don't worry. The younger brothers and sisters are all very talented. They just need time to grow."
"I can hardly wait anymore."
Charlotte Linlin's expression darkened as she touched her belly, where her 84th and 85th children were growing.
"I've decided. This will be my last pregnancy."
She had been inactive outside for too long. Now that brat Kaido was making his move, she naturally couldn't fall behind.
It was time for the seas to once again hear the fearsome name of Charlotte Linlin.
Perospero immediately expressed agreement: "Mama, with you leading us, the Charlotte Family will definitely reach new heights."
Seeing her son's obedience, Charlotte Linlin's expression improved somewhat as she proactively asked: "How is Oven doing now?"
When not in her food cravings state, Charlotte Linlin occasionally showed some maternal affection.
Katakuri, who had been silent beside them, immediately reported: "Oven is out of life-threatening danger, but recovering his fighting strength will take considerable time."
Hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's gaze turned dangerously cold: "Can he recover completely?"
Katakuri's eyes sharpened: "The doctors say there shouldn't be a problem."
"Mamama! That's good then."
Charlotte Linlin instantly put on a smiling face: "Let him continue as the Minister of Baking then."
"Yes, Mama." Katakuri secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was all he could do to help Oven as his older brother.
Somewhere in the New World...
A massive whale-like pirate ship was cutting through the waves toward the distance.
On the ship's mast, a giant Whitebeard skull and crossbones flag fluttered in the sea breeze.
The Moby Dick, the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship.
On the spacious deck, the sixty-four-year-old Whitebeard, his strength still at the tail end of its peak, sat in his iconic giant chair, holding two bounty posters in his massive hand.
"Gurararara! Marco, the New World has two more impressive brats."
The man with a pineapple-like hairstyle, while examining Whitebeard's body, said lazily: "Pops, it looks like the New World is going to become turbulent again. That guy Kaido isn't one to stay quiet."
The man was Marco, known as "The Phoenix," and also the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division Commander and ship doctor.
Wearing a dark blue top hat with a mustache and nicknamed "Flower Sword," Vista said unconcernedly: "So what? At worst we'll fight the Beast Pirates. Kaido will never be Pops' match!"
"That's natural! I'm Whitebeard!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, radiating overwhelming presence.
On some island in the New World...
A red-haired man sat by a crackling campfire, holding the fresh newspaper in his right hand and laughing heartily.
"Today's rookies really are remarkable!"
His vice-captain Beckman sat cross-legged nearby, leisurely smoking a cigarette while simultaneously maintaining his pistol.
"Shanks, how old were you when you had this bounty?"
"Hahahaha! Who remembers such boring things!" The red-haired man put down the newspaper and took a big gulp from the sake bowl at his feet: "Wouldn't it be better to drink a few more bowls of sake instead of thinking about that?"
"You idiot! Then at least remember when to turn the roast meat! Do you have a fish's memory?!"
The chef Lucky Roux, with his big stomach, grabbed Shanks by the collar and shook him vigorously: "You're wasting food, you know?! That's a crime!"
The roast meat over the fire was already starting to smell burnt.
"Sorry, sorry! Next time for sure!" Shanks grinned and raised his hands in surrender without any captain's dignity.
"Hahahaha! Shanks really is hopeless."
"Lucky Roux, teach him a good lesson! Shanks has burnt our food so many times already."
The other crew members gathered around, laughing and joking about their captain without any courtesy.
The air was instantly filled with cheerful laughter.
In Dressrosa...
"Fufufufufu! I really didn't choose the wrong business partner."
Sitting on his throne, Doflamingo looked at the newspaper and laughed heartily.
"Young Master, our business partners are actively requesting to import more Beast Pirates weapons," Trebol reported joyfully. "Several territories we couldn't previously enter have also opened their arms to us."
The Beast Pirates, having won the war, had greatly enhanced their brand influence in the world.
During this period, their Donquixote Family had also made a huge profit.
At the Grand Line, in the Florian Triangle...
"Kaido, you bastard! You've recruited another decent subordinate."
The corpulent Moria's face was twisted with malice, as images of the comrades Kaido had killed flashed before his eyes.
"Kaido, you wait for me! Once I collect shadows powerful enough to revive those strong fighters, I'll go to Wano Country and take your head!"
"I'll make you experience the feeling of losing subordinates too!"
Moria released his grip, and the newspaper fell to the ground.
It clearly recorded...
Natural Disaster Kai.
Dead or Alive.
Bounty: 600 million berries.
