One Piece: The Strongest Trait System

[92] : Explosive Bounties! The Emperors! Seas in Upheaval!

'If that's the case! Then... LET IT RAGE!'

On an island somewhere in the Grand Line.

"ZEHAHAHAHA! One of the Warlords is dead! EXCELLENT!" A man with several missing teeth, a large belly, and an aura of pure malice, let out his signature booming laugh.

It was the man Ace was hunting.

User of the Dark-Dark Fruit—Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach!

"A Warlord dead means a vacant spot! That spot... is MINE!" Blackbeard's eyes gleamed with terrifying ambition.

"Hey! Laffitte! Your job! Tell the Government—to save that Warlord spot—for ME!" Blackbeard ordered his navigator.

"Understood, Captain. Where shall we rendezvous then?" Laffitte replied with a sinister smile.

"Alabasta, of course! To become a Warlord, I need a valuable head! And conveniently, this 1.1 billion Beri head is currently a major thorn in the Government's side! Take him down, and my name will thunder across the seas! That Warlord position will definitely be mine! Zehahahahaha!" Blackbeard roared with laughter.

"Captain... this is the guy who defeated Crocodile and an Admiral Candidate. Won't it be too difficult?" Jesus Burgess, asked doubtfully.

"What's to fear? As long as he's a Devil Fruit user, he's no threat to me! However... this guy also being able to hunt Devil Fruits and use multiple abilities... that is interesting," Blackbeard mused, rubbing his chin.

Such an ability should only belong to him—a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit with a naturally special body.

Feeling the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit within him, Blackbeard quickly grinned again. As long as they were Devil Fruit users, he feared no one!

Whatever secrets they held, he'd just find out!

"Set sail! Things are about to get busy! ZEHAHAHAHAHA!" Blackbeard laughed.

Somewhere on the Grand Line, the Going Merry sailed onward.

After resting for a few days, Rowen and his crew had set sail again.

Vivi and Robin were now officially part of the crew.

(Karoo, however, had been left behind in Alabasta to lead the Super Spot-Billed Duck Troops.)

"R-Rowen! Th-This is bad!" Nami, having just bought a newspaper, suddenly ran towards Rowen, screaming, her face pale.

"B-Bounties! I got a bounty too!" Nami cried, looking tearfully at Rowen.

"Bounty?!" Hearing the word, Luffy instantly leaped down from his special seat.

"Hahahaha! It went up! My bounty is 300 million Beri!" Luffy cackled, holding up his new wanted poster, hands on his hips.

"Hm? I got a bounty too? 100 million Beri? Hmph. Not bad," Zoro commented with a smirk, looking at his own poster.

WANTED - DEAD OR ALIVE

'PIRATE HUNTER' RORONOA ZORO

BOUNTY: 100,000,000 Beri!

"Why do I have a bounty too?! 35 million Beri! The Marines will be after me!" Usopp yelled, clutching his head in panic.
