Chapter 144

"Captain, look! Marshal Blue's bounty has been renewed." Yasopp ran towards Shanks while carrying a bounty paper.

"4.2 billion, hahaha; your bounty has been exceeded, Captain."

"4.2 billion, wow," Shanks replied with interest. Surprisingly, there was no sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Considering that he and his crew saw the performance of Marshal Blue and his team first-hand, it's expected that the Drake Pirates would be given a bombastic bounty.

"Everyone, let's have a party to celebrate our friends' bounty increase!" Shanks shouted with a smile.

"Aye!"

The members of the Red Hair Pirates answered in unison.

"Should we celebrate the bounty of someone who has surpassed yours?" Benn Beckman shook his head, "I think you just want to throw a party, Shanks."

"Well, they are Yasopp's benefactors, after all, so celebrating can't hurt, right? Yasopp, what do you think?" Asked Shanks.

"I agree!" Yasopp nodded.

"As you wish, Captain." Benn Beckman grabbed a glass of wine and drank it.

Elsewhere.

"Strongest Swordswoman in the World, huh?" On the small boat, Mihawk looked at Miyamoto's bounty with interest.

"Interesting." He said while looking into the distance, "It seems the next destination has already been determined."

Moby Dick.

"Oyaji, what do you think of the fifth emperor?" Marco asked Whitebeard.

"Gurararara! They defeated Garp so many times; they must be powerful." He laughed, "Since they're friends with the Red Hair Pirates, we can ask Shanks about it later."

Whole Cake Island.

"Mama, do you really want to invite them to our Tea Party?" Asked Katakuri, "Most likely, they won't accept it."

"The fifth emperor interests me greatly. I suspect that they were able to defeat Garp using their special weapons." Big Mom still underestimated their strength, "It's rumored that Semiramis and Drake have very powerful weapons. If I can seize both weapons, I'll be the strongest in the world, Mama-hahaha!"

"But, before that, I'd like to meet them first. Katakuri, be sure to extend my invitation to them, and... considering Marshal Blue is surrounded by many women, if I matched one of my daughters to him, I'm sure he wouldn't refuse, Mama-hahaha!" Charlotte Linlin laughed as she happily took a bite of her cake.

"I will send him the invitation. Given that they are so far from us, this delivery process will take time." Katakuri nodded.

"No problem," Big Mom waved her hand, "Oh, please prepare me dessert first."

"Ok, Mama."

Wano Country.

"Two Ancient Weapons... Drake Pirates do have good stuff." Kaido sipped his wine, "Those two weapons are not worthy of them. The fifth emperor? What a joke. When they get to the New World, I'll teach them how cruel this world is!"

Although the newspapers reported that the Drake Pirates had defeated Garp, Kizaru, and Zephry, Kaido was not afraid of them. Instead, he desperately wanted them to hurry up and come to the New World so he could rob them of their goods.

"Captain, should we meet them in person?" King the Conflagration asked Kaido.

"There is no need. Given their achievements, they will definitely come to the New World sooner or later. We have plenty of time before finishing them off. This sea does not need a fifth emperor." Kaido continued to sip his wine.

While the world was talking about the rising Drake Pirates, the Drake Pirates themselves were still busy partying.

"No matter how often I drink this wine, it still tastes amazing!" Tsunade gulped down the glass of wine with a sigh of relief.

"It's rare that Gilgamesh would give away this much of his stored wine."

"Hmph! Enjoy it for now. Let's see what happens when this wine runs out." Gilgamesh said.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it." Drake laughed happily, "According to legend, the King of Heroes managed to collect all the world's treasures, so the amount of wine you have must be tremendous. Is that true, Vermillion?" Drake turned to her lover.

"Well, I actually don't know how much wine there is inside the Gate of Babylon." He replied, "Although it's true that the number is limited, but honestly, the quantity is still plenty. This wine won't run out for several years if we drink it daily."

"I knew it!" Happy that there was still plenty of wine, Drake rushed to her Master and kissed him.

"I want more, woo~!"

"Ok." Vermillion happily complied with Drake's request.

"Me too, me too!" Tsunade and Musashi were excited, too. As fellow liquor lovers, they both certainly didn't want to be left out.

"Sure." After being kissed by Tsunade and Musashi, Vermillion could not help but comply with their request as well.

"Really? You guys are so wasteful. Forget it; I won't let my best friend give you all the wine he has; I'll give you some of mine, too." Shortly after, several wine barrels appeared behind Gilgamesh.

Drake, Tsunade, Musashi, and others were excited.
