"By the way, Zack, what did you tell them?" Nami curiously sat next to Zack and asked. On the bench around the dinner table, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Zack, Nami, Robin, Vivi, Sanji, and Zoro were sitting while eating their food.

Hearing Nami's question, everyone except Robin turned their eyes to Zack curiously.

Zack nodded his head and decided to tell everyone. After all, he never planned to hide anything. It's just that he didn't want to be disturbed while convincing them so he didn't reveal his plan in front of them.

Especially Nami who was greedy for money would never think of sharing her money with someone else who isn't even a part of her crew.

"Now that we have defeated Crocodile and kidnapped the princess, our bounty will surely rise. And, this time, everyone will get a bounty. From Luffy's feat, he will definitely surpass the bounty of two Hundred Million."

"My bounty might be lower than Luffy but it won't be too low. Because of Zoro's feat, his bounty might be lower than us both but it won't be that low."

"Of course, Sanji's strength similar to Zoro but since his feat wasn't that high, his bounty will be lower than Zoro's. Nami defeated Mr. 1's partner so her bounty will also be high."

"As for Chopper and Usopp, they will also have their respective bounty. It's just that I don't know how much."

Hearing his words, everyone was shocked.

"Hahaha! My bounty will be higher than Two Hundred Million." Luffy bursts into laughter while raising his hands.

"Wait, Mr. Vice-Captain, you said that everyone will have a bounty. But from what I know, the Marines didn't see everyone during the battle nor saw their feat, especially Usopp-kun and Chopper-kun, so why would they have a bounty." Robin suddenly spoke with a curious gaze.

Only then their happiness came to an end as they all stared at Zack with questioning gazes.

Zack rubbed the back of his head and said.

"Mrs. Archaeologist, if you didn't mention it, I would've forgotten to tell you this. Actually, before even the battle ended, I left a note to Smoker with our pictures and our feat. Along with asking a favour for Alabasta , to help the water cycle with the help of his devil fruit power, so the country can recieve its rain."

Hearing his answer, Robin was surprised. She didn't mind the title. She was just surprised by his answer. She couldn't help but ask.

"Are you a prophet?"

Zack chuckled and said.

"Nope! I just trust my partners."

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but smile. This was the best answer they could ask for. After all, if they can't even trust each other, what qualification do they have to sail together?

Robin on the other hand was stunned by his answer. After all, trust was a heavy subject to her. She, who was constantly betrayed by someone could never trust anyone.

There was a trace of sadness in her eyes but she quickly changed her expression.

"But, you still haven't answered my question."

Nami broke the silence as she gazed at him.

"Oh, yes! As I said before, we will be the target of the Navy. Of course, it's not the Navy that I am afraid of nor it is Four Emperors. What I am afraid of is tragedies that will happen because of our absence."

"Although we are not afraid of trouble, our people aren't the same. The Navy might be righteous but Pirates aren't especially Kaido and Big Mom of Four Emperors."

"We don't need to be afraid of Windmill Village and Shimotsuki Village but Baratie, Cocoyasi Village, Syrup Village, and even Alabasta can be targeted by them or even normal pirates."

"After all, most of the fear do not fear others just because of their bounty instead they get even more excited to kill them. Even if we could defeat or kill them, the damage they can do to our people will be irreparable."

"Not to mention, Straw Hat Pirates can't be everywhere. We are pirates but I don't want to become someone like Usopp's father. Sorry if I offend you."

Zack explained and finally apologized to Usopp.

Hearing his words, everyone was surprised and shocked. Usopp who could truly feel the pain of his words realized just how much true it was.

He shook his head and said.

"You are wrong, Zack. If it was before, I was indeed proud of my father but not anymore. I respect him as a pirate but I truly despise him as Father. Despite staying in East Blue, he never tried to contact us and even when he left, he never contacted us."

"My mother didn't die because of our carelessness. She died because there was no one to cure her."

Zack smiled after hearing his words.

"Indeed! We have people whom we truly love. Although Red Hair Pirate's doctor might not be the best, they still had the power to find a doctor for your mother. It's just that your father didn't even think about your mother."

"And, that's just the small problem. The big problem is the attack from those pirates. That's why I planned to develop our Straw Hat Fleet from the first half of the Grandline."

"Of course, the people I chose are trustworthy. If they aren't, I would never choose them. But right now, I planned to let them develop themselves. Of course, they would be more useful in the future especially if we want to go on against the Four Emperors."

"Even with Five Conqueror Users in our group, we can't underestimate the powerhouses of Four Emperors in case we might even need to face more than one Emperor at once."

Hearing his words, Nami shouted.

"Zack, don't jinx us. We can't even fight a single Emperor. If we are attacked by two emperors, we will die."

"Yes, yes, Zack, we shouldn't think about challenging emperors right now." Usopp bursts into tears and hugged Zack's thigh as he spoke.

"Zack, we should go at our own pace. Let's not challenge Four Emperors." Chopper also bursts into tears and held Zack's thigh together with Usopp.

"You guys." Zack was speechless after seeing their reaction. He clenched his fist and snorted.

"Humph! So, what if we challenge two Emperors at once? Even if we can't do it now, we can still win in the future. My strength will not be lower than Luffy's. And, with Conqueror Haki, I have the confidence to learn Conqueror Entanglement."

"Then, I will also have the qualification to challenge the Emperor."

Hearing his words, Zoro pouted as he said.

"Don't exclude me, Zack! I also want to challenge the Emperor."

"Hey, that being said I also awakened Conqueror so I can challenge the Emperor too." Not to be outdone by Zoro, both Ussop and Sanji proudly spoke.

"But I am curious what kind of expression Fleet Admiral Sengoku will have when he finds out that we have five people with Conqueror Haki." Zack chuckled.

"Anyway, we can't fight them now." Nami vigorously shook her head and spoke.

"Hehe! It doesn't matter. I will get strong enough to fight the Emperors." Luffy giggled as he puts his hand on the last piece of meat.

"Luffy, you bastard. You ate everything from my plate." Usopp noticed his plate being empty and roared at Luffy.

But, Luffy simply didn't care. He was more concerned about his own strength. Unlike in the original, Luffy was very much active in training because of Zack's growth.

Unlike Zoro who was as strong as Luffy from the beginning, Zack was extremely weak even weaker than Usopp. But through sheer training, he was able to match his strength.

Now, even without his devil fruit powers, Zack could fight Luffy and the only way he could be defeated was because of his stamina and endurance.

Zack's stamina and endurance were smaller than Luffy who had been trained by Garp. But even so, if Zack uses his devil fruit powers, there is a chance that he could win against Luffy.

That's why as a captain of this crew, Luffy didn't want to lose against him.

And, maybe because of this, he started focusing more on strength. Now, getting stronger was his third-best thing. The First was obviously food and the second was an adventure.

Zack wasn't concerned about that. After finding out his Devil Fruit's true potential and completing the system mission, Zack wanted to change his fighting style a little bit.

After all, in the future, he might be able to use different abilities at the same time. But more importantly, he found that fighting with different weapons would be much better than fighting with your fist or foot.

After all, he doesn't have God-Level sandals.

Of course, he still likes fighting with his fist but he realized that the more diverse he could get with his fighting style, the better it would be.

Thinking about it, Zack turned his head at Luffy and said.

"Luffy, you can start practicing Armament Haki and Observation Haki now. Zoro and Sanji also need to practice both. Usopp, you don't need to care about Armament currently but you must practice Observation Haki as soon as possible."

"Nami, you explain Haki and Marine Six Styles to Miss Archaeologist while training with Chopper."

Hearing his plan, nobody declined but they all stared at Zack and asked.

"So, what do you plan to do?"

"Of course, I am going to teach Vivi."
