Ace believed in Luffy's determination.
But he was even more aware of Whitebeard's strength.
"Ace, from your description, your brother's personality is very similar to yours; isn't this just you back then??"
Ace also wanted to challenge Whitebeard when he first arrived in the New World.
He was beaten by Whitebeard... Ace's face flushed when the past was mentioned, clearly recalling those embarrassing moments. "057"
"Straw Hat Luffy??"
"To have such a high bounty before even entering the New World, it seems he's also an restless fellow, just like Ace."
Marco the Phoenix, the commander of the 1st division, exclaimed as he looked at the bounty poster in his hand.
"Hmm??"
"Vice-Captain Bailuo's bounty is actually higher than Luffy's? How is this possible?"
Marco looked at Reno's information with disbelief.
"Blacksmith?? Fire Thunder, Rapid Edge."
"He fought Mihawk without falling behind in the slightest."
"This is getting interesting -"
Marco stroked his chin, a glint flashing in his eyes.
Baldat Island.
Baltigo.
A place unsuitable for human habitation, yet it was the Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
Inside a simple building, many people were busy.
And at this moment, by the window.
A middle-aged man in a green coat looked at the bounty poster in his hand, expressionless.
He didn't know what he was thinking.
And whenever someone passed by him, their eyes were filled with respect.
This person was none other than the Revolutionary Army Leader.
Monkey D. Dragon!
The organization that dared to oppose the World Government.
After reading the bounty poster, Dragon fell silent.
He put down the bounty poster and walked outside without a word.
"Luffy, I didn't expect you to have grown to this extent."
"But the New World is far more dangerous than you imagine."
"Before you arrive at the Grand Line, let me see what you're like now -"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong storm stirred up.
The next second, the dragon's figure vanished.
Windmill Village...
Dadan and Makino threw a grand banquet for Luffy's successful departure to sea.
Syrup Village.
Kaya and her butler, Merry, saw the bounty posters for Reno and Luffy, and were also looking forward to Usopp's bounty poster.
Shells Town.
Koby, who had become a Marine, looked at the newly issued bounty posters for Reno and Luffy, and his resolve grew even stronger.
Cocoyasi Village.
Nami's older sister, Nojiko, stood in front of the tangerine trees, looking at Reno's bounty poster with a smile.
It seems Nami truly has a group of remarkable companions.
In the East Blue sea.
On the Doghead Battleship.
Vice-Admiral Bogart, wearing a Marine coat and a grey hat, knocked on the officer's room with a bounty poster.
A crisp voice came from inside.
