Bounty!

"Hundred years, huh. We are still young, who would want to worry about a problem from hundred years later? At least now we wouldn't need to worry about us dying." Bartolomeo looked up at the moon while in skeleton form. He said those words so seriously that Jhin was a little surprised. Jhin felt something different from Bartolomeo's usual attitude.

He now radiated a little tinge of strength and an air of intelligence.

With a smile, Jhin pulled Bartolomeo from the moonshine and laughed. He did not want to stare at Bartolomeo's scary skeletal system, especially that vicious head of his. He looked like a skeleton of a half man half beast!

"You are right, now let's rest, tomorrow, we set off to the Grand Line!" Jhin patted Bartolomeo to the back and entered his cabin.

"Ok." They all quietly left for their sleeping spot and immediately fell asleep like nothing happened at all.

...

The sun shone on the horizon, making the ocean look lively because of it's blue color.

An odd looking bird carrying newspaper looked down at a ship below. It saw people present on the deck so it dove down until it finally reached the ship. It landed right above the bow canon, also in front of Jhin.

Jhin took out a newspaper from its back, and put a thousand belly bill on the bird before it set of to find other costumers.

Strikingly, the front page was about the attack on Loguetown, Polestar Islands. There was big picture that was halved covering half of the front page showing the hundreds of navy soldiers collapsed on the ground. Even the captain, was shown kneeling on the ground with the awful cut on his chest.

The other half of the picture on the Left showed a picture of a face handsome young man with cold red eyes.

As Jhin and his crew read the newspaper, the laughed out loud. It was their first achievement as a new upcoming pirates.

They laughed as a paper fell on the wooden deck. When they saw it, they all stared wide eyed and slack jawed. Written on it was:

WANTED

DEAD OR ALIVE

JHIN FERNANDEZ

B100,000,000-

*insert words from the marine*

"100,000,000 MILLION BELLY?!!" saliva splattered on the ground as Bartolomeo and Alexander screamed on top of their lungs with their jaws on the ground and their eyes nearly popping out!

"HAHAHA! Finally, my bounty finally arrived!" Jhin laughed while tears were on the corner of his eyes.

"100,000,000 million belly! Arlong's bounty is nothing close to this!" Hatchi also exclaimed. Although Arlong bribed a marine captain, the one he calls a rat, his crimes would still not be enough to reach a bounty this high. Immediately, he looked up to Jhin with praise in his eyes.

"Arlong? You mean the man with the highest bounty with 20,000,000? I remember reading his name somewhere. 20,000,000 is the highest bounty, does that mean that Jhin has the highest bounty now?!" Alexander exclaimed.

"But where is our bounties?!" The three hurriedly shuffled the newspaper, as expected there were another three bounty papers.

DEAD OR ALIVE

B40,000,000

HATCHAN

DEAD OR ALIVE

B60,000,000

BARTOLOMEO

DEAD OR ALIVE

B30,000,000

ALEXANDER BELL

"Wohooohohoo!" the all cheered!

"But why is my bounty so high?! I did not even do anything!" Alexander asked.

"It should be because you were a traitor. Treason is a no-no to the government, especially when you joined me in front of Smoker. He must have been pissed! Huehue." Jhin chuckled.

...

Conomi Island

"Damnit!!" Arlong spat while reading the newspaper. He did not look as relaxed or laid back as he is usually. There were also the bounty papers on a table beside him.

"That Hatchi... Jhin Fernandez, I won't forget this!" He stomped the ground while his subordinates stood silently behind him.

Ever since the incident, he had never been in a good mood. Now, seeing his former subordinate having a bounty higher than him made him extremely pissed. Even his other men behind seemed to show great jealousy when the saw the picture of Hatchi with a smiling face on the bounty paper.

"Investigate where this guy, Jhin Fernandez came from! I will make you regret this!" He commanded.

...

In the Island where Jhin's grandpa lived, an Jack sat inside his small house while he read the newspaper.

"That brat, finally deciding to show up?! Haha! As expected of my grandson." old man Jack laughed while he also unknowingly released an oppressive aura.

BOOM!

The small house fell apart and everything was blasted apart sending everything flying around him. Everything around trembled, slowly, fishes began to surface from the ocean, and they looked... dead. Even the peaceful birds flying in the sky fell to the ground... dead.

"Oh, Shit! A little came out." He breathed out and his oppressive aura vanished completely.

"Yare yare... This world is really too fragile just a little bitty came out of control and this happens, sigh... Jhin, you sure have grown up. My time here is already up, I can't stay here any longer or this world will surely break apart." He let out many sighs, but there was also relieved smile on his faces.

He looked up to the sky and saw the sky slowly turn bright. It was a light that he could only see, it covered the entire sky and others could see it too, there were nearly unnoticeable white lightning dancing around. It was as if the heaven's were issuing a warning to the Old man.

"You are just a small heaven's will and you dare to be impatient?!" Old man Jack suddenly began to float slowly. His eyes turned red, his short hair also began to float and an invisible aura seeped out of his body, but it did not spread. The aura was contained just half a meter around him.

But when the whitened sky sensed what was happening, the white lightnings suddenly all stopped before they started to tremble. They looked like a child being stared at by their angry parent after committing an unforgivable prank.

They were scared as fuck!

"HMPH! You should thank my grandson, if it wasn't for him, I would have long snapped this world out, and you would have also dissipated!" Old Jack said angrily. He was a short tempered man.

"Jhin, grandpa is now going to leave. But I am sure that you would be able to ascend soon, you are my Grandson after all. Every son of the Fernandez are all dragons, and I am sure that you will be the strongest of them all! Hahaha!"

He did many things after that, but of course I will not reveal them to you yet, haha.

...

Jhin wheeled the ship, and after just a couple of hours, they are 2 kilometers near the entrance of the reverse mountain. Up ahead were black clouds covering the red line, it was raining, such was normal in this place.

"We are here!" Jhin said while smiling excitedly. "Tie the sails, make sure that it won't go loose. Crossing this would be troublesome after all. There is also..." Jhin ordered.

"There is also?" Alexander asked..

"Oh, it's nothing. Just go and tie the sails." said Jhin. But inside, he was laughing, there is going to be a huge surprise later.
