Chapter 69 - Status

"Captain, look at this!"

A man said as he passed a newspaper to a red haired man.

The man grabbed the paper and laughed.

"Look at this! Who would have thought Bob would become a warlord, it's only been 10 years!"

The red haired man was Shanks, he kept up with the news but this was really shocking for him.

Shanks flipped the page and saw news about Luffy.

"Even Luffy is becoming big, he has a bounty of 300 million!"

"Who would have thought that those two kids you met back then would be causing such a stir in the world."

One of Shanks mates said.

All of them were shocked by both Bob and Luffy's new statuses in the world. Both of them had bounties of 300 million, but one decided to join the World Government while the other was a pirate.

Bob sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Who's talking about me?"

Bob looked around and asked.

His appearance was different from before as his hair grew a bit longer he tied it into a short ponytail. Around his neck was a necklace of shark teeth, he wore black jeans and on his hand was a skull ring. Bob had a black coat draped over him like a cape as if he was a marine admiral.

When the wind blew a tattoo could be made out from underneath his black coat.

Bob's hand was on top of one of his two swords.

"Hey, isn't that Quicksword Bob? What's he doing here?"

"Shh, he can hear us."

Bob looked at them.

'I'm not that scary!'

Bob said to himself, but when he looked at them they jumped in fright and ran away.

It's been months since he had last been seen in public, but people still remembered his face.

"Bob, are we still on for tomorrow?"

Charles asked as he came up next to Bob.

"Yeah. I told you i'd make you a star Charles, and look at you now. Wishful Thinking is the hottest thing on the grand line, its all people can talk about. Next time, we'll need to have a feature with Soolking Brook."

Charles looked confused.

"Who's that?"

"Ah, nevermind. Just rest up for now, tomorrow is a big day."

Bob was currently traveling by himself as he sent all of his gang to train with the revolutionary army. He met up with Ron and John at Water 7 and was stunned by their growth.

Ron assembled a crew of fifteen people, while John had twelve under his command. Ron grew up, he looked like an actual big shot pirate. He even had his own bounty reaching 120 million beli. John's bounty increased to 140 million beli.

Both of them had lower bounties than Bob, but still he was surprised at their growth.

From when he met them in Blacktown all the way to seeing them again at Water 7. These guys grew into some big characters for new players in the One Piece world.

Even the people they recruited were characters in the One Piece world. Most of them were noncanon characters, but Bob was still shocked that they joined up.

Bob discussed what their next goal was, which was train and polish their organization. All the people that came with them to Water 7, Bob sent to train with the revolutionary army.

He got in contact with Dragon and Sabo. Sabo remembered Bob and vouched for him to Dragon. Dragon only agreed if Bob could prove himself.

He had Bob go to an island to save them from a tyrant, Bob completed the mission without an issue. After solving that problem Dragon agreed that Bob could train with him for two years, but he'd also have to owe Dragon a favor in the future.

Bob didn't mind and agreed.

Bob himself did not stay with the revolutionary army, he decided to do more tours with Wishful Thinking as he kept them busy with concerts. He wrote them plenty more songs and the money just kept coming in.

People were eating Wishful Thinking up. It was safe to say they were the most famous band in all of the grandline. At least the first half of it.

On Water 7 Bob designed a ship together with the other shipwrights, it was a large ship but it couldn't fly.

Bob also got in contact with Dave, who was as busy as ever. He still had many questions for Bob, and Bob told him he'd see him soon.

Their main base was too far, Bob was planning on moving it to Alabasta and having another main base built in Dressrosa.

He also called Vivi during the time he wasn't seen.

Basically, Bob has been busy. He felt that he was close to understanding his devil fruit powers some more, and he had this idea in his head for a transformation. However, Bob wasn't able to use that transformation yet.

Bob stretched his arm thinking about all the experiences he's had these past few months.

"Guess I can explore for a bit."

Bob said as he began to walk around.
