Chapter 71 - Quicksword Bob

A few days went by and the Strawhats arrived on Sabaody.

"Awesome!"

Luffy shouted as he saw the large bubbles emerging from the ground.

He was amazed and started jumping on them.

Usopp and Chopper were both amazed as well, but it didn't take much to excite the three of them.

"By the way, Hachi what's our goal on this island?"

Nami asked.

Hachi was Hatchan's nickname, he is an octopus fishman with pink skin and grey hair.

"We have to find a coating mechanic, and have them coat your ship with this resin! It's the only way to cross over into the New World."

Hachi said.

"Are you serious?"

Franky asked.

Hachi nodded his head.

"Your ship has to travel under the sea and this is the only way you'll be able to survive."

Hachi got with Brook, Nami, Robin, Chopper and Luffy. He began to lead them to the mechanic he knew that would coat their ship.

"Zoro!"

Usopp and Sanji both shouted.

"Where are you going?"

Zoro looked back at them and stopped.

"For a walk!"

"DON'T, YOU'LL GET LOST!"

Both of them started making weird faces as they knew if Zoro went off alone he'd be lost. His sense of direction was lacking severely.

While the Strawhats just arrived on the island, Bob was holding a concert for Wishful Thinking.

He did not know they arrived as of yet, but he knew he'd hear about it when they did. As Luffy would cause a big commotion.

"Charles! My love!"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

Countless fans were screaming their hearts out as Charles and his friends took stage. The lights dimmed down and a spotlight as shined on Charles.

The music started playing and countless fans were still screaming.

"First things first

I'mma say all the words inside my head

I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh

The way things have been, oh ooh"

Charles started singing the lyrics to Imagine Dragons - Believer.

Bob was standing backstage with his eye's closed bobbing his head.

"Are you their manager?"

A man with thick sunglasses asked Bob as he tapped him on the shoulder.

Bob looked at the man and nodded his head.

"Yes, do you need something?"

"These guys have talent, like serious talent. Have you ever considered joining up with a music company?"

"No, there's no need to."

Bob said.

The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a card.

"Check out my card. If you change your mind get ahold of me, these guys can go all the way to the top, i'd hate to see them fall short because their manager is lacking."

Bob took his card and flung it back at him.

The man was furious but didn't move against Bob. Instead he picked his card up off the ground and walked away.

If Bob wouldn't listen to him, then Charles and his friends would.

After holding the concert Bob let Charles and the others go enjoy themselves. They might be stars but Bob did not plan on restricting their freedom.

While the concert was going on Luffy and some of his crew entered a bar. The bar was pretty empty, and there was only a few people inside. Three of them were unconscious, while the other one was surprised to see Hachi.

"Hachi! Long time no see!"

"Shakky!"

"Come, have a seat for a moment. This won't take long."

Shakky threw the three unconscious men out and sat by Hachi.

"Here, let me get you guys something to drink."

She said.

Shakky turned her body and noticed Luffy was raiding her fridge and Brook was eating her food.

She began to laugh.

Some time passed by as Shakky chatted with Hachi and Luffy.

Shakky took a long drag of her cigarette as she watched Luffy cheer when he heard about the amusement park.

"However, be careful where you look. According to my information network including you, there are now 12 people on the Sabaody Archipelago whose bounties exceed 100 million Beli."

Brook and Chopper were both shocked.

"12 People with bounties over 100 million?!"

Chopper was stunned as he said that.

"Yes, excluding Monkey and Roronoa that still leaves ten. When you entered the grand line, you chose one of the seven routes and followed your log all the way until you got here. So naturally there are others that took the other six routes to reach here."

Chopper, Brook and Luffy took some time to process what Shakky was saying.

"And if we were going by their bounties, you'd be tied for second."

"There's someone with the same bounty as Luffy and worth more than Luffy?! Here? On this Island?!"

Chopper's eyes were wide, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Capone "Gang" Bege. A 138 million beli bounty.

Jewelry Bonney, the "Glutton". A 140 million beli bounty.

Basil Hawkins, the "Magician". A 249 million beli bounty.

"Roaring Tide" Scratchmen Apoo. A 198 million beli bounty.

Eustass "Captain" Kid. A 315 million beli bounty.

"Red Flag" X-Drake. A 222 million beli bounty.

"Mad Monk" Urouge. A 108 million beli bounty.

"The Soldier of Slaughter" Killer. A 162 million beli bounty.

"Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar Law. A 200 million beli bounty."

Chopper started counting the names.

"That's only nine! What about the other one?"

"The other one is a bit special as they are the only one to join the World Government and become a warlord. "Quicksword" Bob. A 300 million beli bounty."

"Eh! Bob?"

Luffy asked in confusion.
