Bounties and New Foes

After getting out of the Calm Belt, thanks to Hiro's modification, the Dragon Pirates' first stop in the Grand Line is Whiskey Peak.

The Dragon Pirates, consisting of Wei, Kaito, Lily, and newly recruited Hiro, finally arrived at their first destination within the Grand Line - Whiskey Peak. As they docked their ship and stepped onto the land, they were taken aback by the warm and enthusiastic reception they received from the locals.

Confusion washed over the crew as they were greeted like heroes, with cheers and applause following their every step. Puzzled, they decided to make their way to a nearby bar, hoping to find some answers to this unexpected reception.

Inside the bustling bar, the Dragon Pirates glanced around, their eyes drawn to a wall covered in wanted posters. Their hearts skipped a beat as they saw their own faces plastered on the wall, wanted by the World Government for their alleged crimes.

Wei's bounty read 20,000,000 Berries, a staggering sum that spoke of his dangerous reputation. Kaito's bounty followed with 10,000,000 Berries, indicating he was also a force to be reckoned with. Lily's poster showed a bounty of 5,000,000 Berries, suggesting that she, too, had made a name for herself. Lastly, Hiro's poster displayed a bounty of 10,000,000 Berries, a testament to the potential threat he posed.

The crew's eyes widened with a mix of surprise, intrigue, and a dash of pride. They had become known figures within the vast expanse of the Grand Line, their actions having caught the attention of the World Government. The weight of their bounties served as a reminder of the challenges they would undoubtedly face as they continued their journey.

As the Dragon Pirates celebrated their newfound fame at the lively tavern, an unexpected turn of events disrupted their festivities. Without warning, the atmosphere grew tense as the doors swung open, revealing a group of ruthless bounty hunters, their eyes fixed on the crew.

These bounty hunters were members of the notorious Cross Guild, a formidable organization led by the likes of Dracule Mihawk, Crocodile, and Buggy the Star Clown. Their presence sent a shiver down the spines of the Dragon Pirates, as they knew the reputation and power these notorious figures held.

In a split second decision, Kaito, fueled by his undying loyalty to his crewmates, stepped forward and volunteered to face the bounty hunters alone. He knew that his strength and skills would give Wei, Lily, and Hiro the best chance of escaping unharmed.

With determined eyes, Kaito prepared himself for the impending battle, his hands instinctively reaching for his trusty weapons. The crew exchanged glances, acknowledging the sacrifice he was making for their safety.

As Kaito steps forward, his eyes lock onto the five bounty hunters from the Cross Guild, known for their ruthless tactics and formidable skills. The atmosphere in the Whiskey Peak tavern grows tense as the patrons quickly clear a path, eager to witness the impending clash.

Bounty Hunter 1, smirking confidently: Well, well, look what we have here. Another fool who thinks he can take on the Cross Guild.

Kaito, his voice steady and determined: I'm not here to back down. I'm here to protect the innocent and bring justice to those who deserve it.

Without wasting any time, Kaito unsheathes his twin blades, Hakai and Hewai. The polished steel glimmers in the dim light, reflecting Kaito's unwavering resolve.

Bounty Hunter 2, chuckling: Your fancy swords won't save you from us, pirate scum.

Kaito's grip tightens around his blades as he readies himself for the impending battle. With lightning speed, the first bounty hunter lunges forward, his weapon aimed at Kaito's chest. Kaito, combining the fluidity of Kenjutsu with the precision of Kendo, gracefully sidesteps the attack, deflecting it with a swift parry before launching a counterstrike of his own.

Kaito, his voice filled with determination: Your arrogance blinds you to the true strength of a warrior.

The battle intensifies as the remaining bounty hunters join the fray, attacking Kaito simultaneously from different angles. Kaito's movements become a blur as he swiftly dodges, parries, and counters their attacks with calculated precision. The sound of clashing swords echoes throughout the tavern, mingling with the gasps of the onlookers.

Bounty Hunter 3, gritting his teeth: This guy is tough! We need to take him down together!

With a nod of understanding, the bounty hunters adjust their strategy, coordinating their strikes to overwhelm Kaito. But Kaito, undeterred, uses his agility and mastery of his swords to his advantage. He spins and twirls, deflecting blows with the edge of his blades and countering with a barrage of strikes that leave his opponents momentarily stunned.

Bounty Hunter 4, panting heavily: What... What are you?

Kaito, a determined glint in his eyes: I am the storm that will bring justice to those who prey on the innocent.

As the battle reaches its climax, Kaito's relentless assault begins to take its toll on the weary bounty hunters. One by one, they fall to the ground, unable to match Kaito's unwavering skill and determination. The tavern erupts into applause and cheers as Kaito stands tall, his blades dripping with the sweat of victory.

Bounty Hunter 5, struggling to stand: You may have won this time, pirate... but the Cross Guild... will not be defeated so easily.

Kaito, his voice filled with conviction: The Cross Guild may be formidable, but justice will always prevail.

With that, Kaito sheathes his blades, his expression one of quiet confidence.

Kaito leaves the tavern, and his heart races as he catches up to his captain and the rest of the Dragon Pirates, only to find them standing before four mysterious figures. His eyes narrow as he takes in their appearances, recognizing the notorious Puggy the Clown, Cabaji, Mugon, and Dandy. The fact that they are not only members of the Buggy Pirates but also affiliated with the Cross Guild sends a shiver down his spine.

Wei, his voice tinged with caution: Kaito, you're just in time. We've encountered some unexpected company.

Kaito's grip tightens around his blades, his mind racing to assess the situation. He knows that facing the combined forces of the Buggy Pirates and the Cross Guild will be no easy task.

Puggy the Clown, a sinister grin spreading across his face: Well, well, if it isn't the Dragon Pirates. Looks like you've started making a name for yourself.

Cabaji, cracking his knuckles menacingly: You fools should have kept a low profile. Now, you face the wrath of the Buggy Pirates and the Cross Guild combined!

Mugon, his eyes cold and calculating: Prepare to be crushed by our might. We shall make an example out of the Dragon Pirates.

Dandy, a wicked smirk on his lips: You thought you could escape our grasp? How foolish.

Wei, his voice laced with determination: We won't let the likes of you terrorize innocent people any longer. We'll put an end to your reign of chaos.

The tension in the air is palpable as the two groups prepare for battle. Wei exchanges a glance with his fellow crewmates, finding solace in their unwavering resolve.
