"My bounty, it’s all increased?"
Picking up the wanted posters on the ground, Carina said with some surprise, "Even Baccarat has a bounty? What’s going on?!"
"Eh, eh... I have one too?"
Nami, who had only been paying attention to Karl’s soaring bounty, couldn’t help but fly to Carina’s side and look at the new wanted posters with her.
"Little Burglar Cat, congratulations. You’re the third highest bounty among us."
Carina handed a wanted poster to Nami and said with a smile, "If it weren’t for Shiro, your bounty would be higher than Yamato’s, making you the second-in-command in name and in truth."
"700 million Berries!!!"
After seeing the bounty amount, Nami couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes, "Is this for real? It actually went up by 400 million Berries in one go. Do the Marines think that highly of me?"
"Obviously, they were scared by you lifting a large island."
Karl said with a smile, "If you hadn’t held back all these years, a 700 million bounty would be low. Your second bounty might have even broken the 1 billion Berry mark."
"After all, compared to you, whether it’s Charlotte Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates, the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates, or Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates, their threat level is far inferior."
"Just the title of a Float-Float Fruit user is worth a 1 billion Berry starting point."
"So that’s how it is..."
Nami had a slight realization, "In other words, I’ve ridden on the coattails of the deceased legend, Golden Lion, again?"
"Nonsense. Do you really think a little girl who hasn’t fought in three years and hasn’t defeated a strong enemy is qualified for a second bounty of 700 million Berries?"
Carina rolled her eyes and complained, "You know, Sister Robin and I have been active in the outside world for three years for Gran Tesoro and have made a name for ourselves as the two deputy masters, but our second bounties are only 500 million Berries."
"Last time, it was Sister Robin’s third bounty, and her bounty only increased by 100 million Berries."
"...Shiro’s bounty has also increased."
Looking at Shiro’s wanted poster with a bounty as high as 1.5 billion Berries, Nami sighed slightly.
"That’s normal. Anyone who saw Shiro’s speed would be scared out of their wits," Carina said.
"Let’s go down and play. This incident probably won’t be over for a month or so."
Karl stood up, picked up Tama, and prepared to go down to the next floor to find Perona, who was holed up at home training hard, and Robin, who was working in her office.
"Karl, you’re so biased..."
Nami flew over and lay on Karl’s back, pouting, "You only dote on Carina, Sister Robin, and Perona now. When will you dote on me?"
"Ever since we got together, you won’t even let me watch from the side. Are you excluding me?"
Slap!
Before Karl could answer, Carina slapped Nami’s perky bottom and rolled her eyes, "You idiot, can a little girl like her watch that kind of thing now?"
"If you want to join, just look forward to the next few months."
"In July, Karl will be all yours, little Burglar Cat."
"Really?" Nami’s eyes lit up.
"Ushishi... of course. I hope you don’t come to me for help then."
Carina suddenly showed a smile that made Nami’s heart tremble.
As if she had thought of something, Nami said with a dry laugh:
"No... no need. I won’t monopolize Karl. I’ll just be with you then."
"It’s too late. I’m counting on you in July, little Burglar Cat."
"Eh... no!!!"
"Brother Karl, what are Sister Carina and Sister Nami talking about?"
Listening to the two girls’ conversation, Tama, who was sitting in Karl’s arms, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Hearing this, Karl immediately turned and glared at Carina and Nami, "You idiots, don’t corrupt the children."
"Hee hee... I know I was wrong."
Carina and Nami quickly stuck out their tongues.
After the four of them went down to the next floor.
Perona and Robin both finished their training and work. The former went to take a shower first, while the latter took Tama from Karl’s hands and then sat beside him, chatting with him with a gentle smile.
Carina sat on Karl’s other side, making Nami extremely envious.
If it were any other time, she would have thrown herself into Karl’s arms.
But Nami knew that the third spot by Karl’s side now belonged to someone else.
As expected...
After Perona finished her shower, she immediately threw herself into Karl’s arms.
Like hugging a beloved doll, Perona lay in Karl’s arms, constantly rubbing against him.
After finally getting together with her knight, Perona had completely become Karl’s shape.
Poor Nami...
As the one who had boarded Karl’s ship in the East Blue, and the one who had established a relationship with Karl the fastest after Carina.
Her status now was so humble that she could only lie on Karl’s back, enviously watching the three girls sitting on his left and right sides, and in his arms.
In response, Karl rubbed Nami’s head, and with both hands, he lifted Nami from his back to his front, just like holding a child, letting her lie in his arms along with Perona.
A life surrounded by four girls like this was Karl’s daily routine.
Owning a ten-thousand-meter-long city of gold, raising the world’s most beautiful mermaid, and having so many beauties by his side...
Even Doflamingo, who knew how to enjoy life, was very envious of Karl’s life.
Time quickly flew to February, Sea Circle Calendar 1520.
The new wanted posters for Karl’s group did not cause much of a sensation on the seas.
In the eyes of the world, for Karl to be able to defeat Charlotte Linlin, who had a bounty as high as 4,388,000,000 Berries, it was a normal thing for his bounty to soar to 3,011,000,000 Berries.
If it weren’t for the fact that Karl wasn’t a pirate, and that he had a crew of over a thousand subordinates and had occupied several territories in the New World, his bounty would have soared to around 4 billion Berries.
After all, the BIG-MOM Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts he had defeated were both pirate emperors with bounties in the forty-something billion range.
Compared to the soaring bounties of Karl’s group, the world’s attention was all focused on the Totto Land Kingdom.
Everyone was curious about how the Big Mom Pirates would handle this difficult situation.
Would they successfully fend off all the attacks, or would they ultimately be defeated by the pirate alliance and have one of the five highest peaks of the New World overthrown?
