Ch 5: First Bounty
It is a sunny day and the sea is calm.
Two bounty lists with newspaper were spread throughout the sea through news-coo birds.
"you must be kidding, The Holy Land is burned down and the slaves are saved" Doflamingo's pupils shrank.
The corners of his mouth showed an unsure smile whether it was a cheerful smile or a mocking smile. Like many people he was happy but in diffrent way, most of the slaves are actually bought from his auction house, now those slaves ran away, Celestial Dragons will surely spend a lot of money to buy new slaves, Business is looking good.
He look at the bounty poster of Koch and throw it away, he is sure that Koch will be dead soon after what he had done.
...
"Hero, he is a hero."
"Finally someone stood up, finally someone dared to oppose that bastard group of people."
"Woooo, my daughter will come back home."
Cheers came from many islands.
At the sea, pirates are hated by everyone but they are not the only group that people hate, Celestial Dragons are also hated by many people, Celestial Dragons are worse that pirate.
Many pirates and pirate hunters are taking a look at Koch bounty poster, they think Koch only got high bounty from saving the slaves not from his strenght, pirate hunters are looking at his wanter poster with greed in their eyes.
WANTED
DEAD OR ALIVE
KOCH
440,000,000
"Four hundred and forty million beri."
"The world government is going all out, this amount of the reward, Pirate hunters will do anything to catch Koch?"
"The first reward of 440 million, it is insane. It should be the first time, right? It's a pity that Koch will be caught soon."
"If I knew about the invasion of the Holy Land, I would have help him and then become famous too, ."
"Idiot, are you sure you can come back from the Holy Land of Mariejois alive and escape Marine's siege? you are looking for death."
There are pirates who dare to provoke Marine but there are no pirates who dares to provoke the World Government and Celestial Dragons.
...
Grand line, Red Hair Pirates are sailing towards East Blue.
Redhead Shanks holds Koch's bounty poster.
Fisher Tiger was also put on a bounty but the news marked him as an ally only, so the focus of the world is on Koch. It is indicated that he is the main offender.
Tiger just set fire but Koch saved all slave and killed many guards and marine and also the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons who once captured Hancock, their whole family were killed but The World government hides news of Celestial Dragons being killed.
Benn Beckman looked at the wanted poster in the shanks's hand, and praised it sincerely "He has done what other can't even dream of doint it, this kid is preety good."
"I really hope to have the opportunity to drink with him in the future."
"Boss, why don't we go find him, he must be in danger, we can help him."
Lucky Loux and other members said together.
"The ocean is vast, how can we find them." The red-haired Shanks put down the newspaper with a complicated expression.
"If he can survive, the future must be beyond imagination."
"It is difficult to survive, world government and marines will do anything to capture him." Benn Beckman shook his head.
...
Sabaody Archipelago.
Many of the slaves who escaped from the Holy Land of Mariejois were the first to flee here and go into hiding.
"Rayleigh, are you going out?" Shakky looked at Rayleigh, who had been working all night, as he pushed the door out.
"There are so many slaves we should help as much as we can, otherwise it will be difficult for them to return to their homeland."
Rayleigh looked at the rising sun on the horizon. He never thought that someone would attack the The Holy Land and free the slaves. There is a smile on his face.
Suddenly he saw a ship appearing in the distance.
"From that direction, it must be the ship from The Holy Land Mariejois again, is it another slave ship?"
...
There are only five members on the ship right now. Koch, Gion and three Boa sisters.
"Hancock."
"Yes" Hancock came to Koch in an instant.
"Hancock take your sisters and go buy enough living supplies, ask Sister Gion for money."
Relying on his memory of the previous life on earth and with knowledge of future of one piece, Koch and Gion have made a lot of money before becoming pirates.
"Sister Gion we can't take this ship, can you look for a new ship."
The current ships belong to the World Government so they can't use this and the warship brought by Gion yesterday was even more obvious so they need a new and better ship, otherwise it is too easy to reveal their location.
Gion, who had already changed into her military uniform, nodded her head. The Sabaody Archipelago had no shortage of ships, there were many pirates, many pirate hunter groups, and naturally many ships.
"let's finish our task as fast as possible and regroup here in an hour, we should not stay here for a long time." The Sabaody Archipelago is too close to Marineford.
They docked the ship.
Koch was planning to go to the Sabaody Archipelago to hunt some low level pirate and gather some achievement points, suddenly he felt someone was looinkg at him, as he turn he saw an old man with half-white hair who was standing on the shore.
"There's a great guy here." Koch and Rayleigh, both reacted similarly.
"want a drink?" Rayleigh picked up the jug in his hand.
"sure."
After a few minutes.
Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
Shakky, who has nothing to do was reading the newspaper suddenly heard the door open. She look at Koch who just enter following Rayleigh in surprise, and looked down stiffly at the bounty poaster on her hand.
Head up, head down, head up...
It's him the one and only Koch, The guy who did something that never happened before.
"Little brother, you are much more handsome than the picture." Shakky smiled and took off the top wine from the wine cabinet.
"Hey hey Shakky, I wanted to drink that wine, but you told me to get out. Now that you saw Koch, you brought out the best wine." Rayleigh told shakky with sad face but was ignored by Shakky.
She walk towards Koch and poured the wine for him herself "Little brother, you have done an amazing thing."
