Chapter 37

Hakai already had one of the highest bounties in the East Blue, but after what happened in Loguetown, his bounty rose again.

Sewing on the ship, the crew were travelling at a steady pace towards Reverse Mountain. It was a peaceful day, with no storms in sight that could mess up their journey. There were also no pirate, or marine ships in sight, so with nothing to do, the crew had to occupy themselves somehow.

Hakai was fine with this since he was already planning to make clothes, and being bothered by storms, pirates, or marines would be very annoying.

The girls on the other hand were talking amongst each other as they sunbathed in the sun in bikinis.

Hakai looked over at the girls, enjoying the view.

Makino was wearing a white, plain bikini, but it still looked nice on her. Her bikini stuck closely to her breasts, as little bumps poked through, exciting Hakai.

'No, I must not get drawn in so easily. I cannot call myself a man if I cannot conquer my desires.'

Kaya, like Makino was wearing a bikini although a bit more modest, but Hakai was planning on making her one that showed a bit more and also looked better.

Nojiko was the one that surprised Hakai the most. She wore a thong bikini, showing off her ass as she laid down on her stomach. It wasn't just the thong, her breasts looked like they could slip out at any moment, but they somehow didn't.

As he was happily staring, he continued making the clothes when a newspaper fell on his head.

"Agh! What is it now?" Hakai grabbed the newspaper, opening it up as he saw the big fat words on the front page.

//Dragon Pirates Defeat Smoker in Loguetown//

The newspaper said how Hakai and his crew came to Loguetown and completely destroyed the marine force that was stationed there which wasn't wrong. There were some stuff that were exaggerated, but it was pretty accurate still. On the next page of the newspaper, it said how the marines have issued a new bounty for Hakai and his crew and listed them out.

Hakai got excited and called over the girls, "You guys! Come here! Our bounty got even higher."

The girls rushed over, standing behind Hakai as they looked at the list of new bounties.

[Hakai "Dragon King":] 150,000,000

[Makino "Queen of the Skies":] 80,000,000

[Kaya "Queen of Death":] 60,000,000

[Nojiko "Archer of the Sea":] 50,000,000

Their new bounties were big, and it made sense that many had their eyes on them.

"Wow! My bounty rose, and look, Nojiko. You got a bounty, and they're calling you an Archer of the Sea!" Kaya giggled, giving Nojiko a hug.

"It doesn't sound too bad," Nojiko said, smiling.

"80 million! Almost 100. Hakai, you should really let me fight more people so they can see how dangerous I am," Makino said as she hugged him from behind.

'Dangerous!' Hakai could feel her big breasts on his back. 'Forgive me for what I'm about to do once I'm done making these clothes.'

"I'll think about it."

It didn't take long for Hakai and his crew to reach Reverse Mountain as they neared the entrance to the current that would take them up the mountain and then down to the Grand Line.

Nojiko stood at the wheel while Hakai looked around, making sure nothing would go wrong.

"It sure looks scary, but I'm confident I can get us up the mountain," Nojiko said as she turned the ship's wheel, angling the ship to go directly into the current.

The Grand Line was a dangerous place, but many inexperienced pirates failed getting to the Grand Line, and it was notorious how hard it was so go up Reverse Mountain.

The ship slowly entered the current as it started dragging them to the top of the mountain. It was all fine until a massive chunk of rocks fell into the current beside them, moving the ship to the side.

Nojiko desperately tried to turn the ship's wheel, but it was impossible. Ships didn't turn that fast, and the momentum from the wave that the rocks made would make them hit the wall, destroying their ship.

"I'm sorry everyone. Grab onto the sides, we're about to crash," Nojiko said as the ship was about to hit the sides of Reverse Mountain.

"Guess it can't be helped." Hakai jumped up into the air as he transformed into his true form which Kaya, and Nojiko haven't seen yet.

Hakai flapped his gigantic wings, creating mini typhoons and gusts of wind.

With his hands, Hakai picked up the ship just as it was about to make contact with the mountain and flew high in the sky.

"Wahhhh! Dragon! There's a dragon!" Nojiko yelled out.

Makino giggled, looking down at the world underneath them. Being this high up, they had a perfect view. "Don't worry guys. The dragon is our captain, Hakai."

Nojiko, and Kaya were both shocked, but all the pieces started to add up and it all made sense. The name of their crew, Hakai's haki that would take the form of scales, and his sword that had a dragon design. Instead of being scared, the two saw their captain in a new light, finding out that their captain was a real dragon which made him even cooler in their minds.

Makino explained the situation a bit more, saying how it isn't a special ability or a devil fruit, but that Hakai was a real, and bonafide dragon.

Hakai continued flying with the ship in his clawed hands, following the water current high in the sky and reaching the bottom of Reverse Mountain where a lighthouse was.
