Chapter 271 Happy Birthday
Although Wang Luffy's bounty was not directly raised to 3000 million like when he defeated Arlong.
But everything that happened in Rogue Town, especially the scene on the execution platform, still made Smoker Smoker realize Luffy's unique side.
After Smoker reported to the headquarters, he ignored the orders from his superiors and resolutely began to chase Luffy.
Given that Smoker attached so much importance to Luffy, the official paid more attention to him and eventually gave him a bounty of 2000 million.
This first bounty amount did not bring Luffy to the attention of many strangers outside the East China Sea, but it made Ace excited to chat with Jerry and others for several rounds.
Until now, when Ace once again narrated the whole story in detail, Jerry took the opportunity to speak:
"Deus said we are not far from Alabasta. If you want to go to Spring Queen Town, that's fine too. Just keep an eye out for more information then. We will use Scar's information as a clue to search first."
Soon, the two sides ended their simple exchange and hung up the call.
Speaking of Spring Queen Town, Jerry and others couldn't help but recall one of the stops on the Sea Train.
Then, Jerry pondered for a while. He had no impression that the original Teach had appeared in Spring Queen Town, but he could not be sure whether the information Ace received was true or false.
With my joining, many things have changed, and it is not impossible for Teach to change his career.
All Jerry knew was that if Teach's big goal remained the same, he would first work on increasing his own popularity and building a certain reputation.
In order to achieve this goal, he should look for pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million.
If he could successfully capture a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, Jerry speculated that Teach wouldn't mind applying for the position, considering that there are still vacancies among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
After all, with the identity of Shichibukai, he would not be so afraid of Whitebeard for the time being, and he would not be afraid of the pursuit from Ace.
When this idea flashed through Jerry's mind, he felt a touch of inspiration, as if a new idea was taking shape, but it was not completely clear.
Jerry shook his head and decided to put some bold ideas on hold for the time being.
"Okay, let's go as planned, get some supplies, and then continue on to Alabasta." With that, Jerry took the lead and walked towards the streets of the town.
As is customary during resupply missions, once ashore the team will usually have at least half a day of free time.
In the past, Jerry would mostly take advantage of this time to look for rivers, lakes and other water systems on the island where he landed and go fishing directly there.
However, he did not do so this time when he went to the island.
After separating from everyone, Jerry put his fishing rod against his back, his hands in his pockets, and seemed to be wandering around leisurely.
Soon after, he turned a few corners and walked into an alley next to a street.
At the end of the alley, there was a tall and strong figure, stealthily peeking at a small window.
Jerry walked over and raised his hand to say hello: "Hey, Big Bear, what a coincidence."
The tall figure was the big bear.
He was startled suddenly, and turned around in a panic. When he found that it was Jerry, he responded in a low voice: "Ahem... Brother Jerry, it's you, hello."
After saying that, Big Bear glanced at Little Pony in the restaurant through the window, quickly hid aside, and raised his finger to signal Jerry to be quiet: "Shh."
"Brother Jerry! Why are you there?" Apparently, little Bonnie noticed the commotion here and asked curiously through the window.
She, Garrott, Kalina, and Kodaz went straight to the restaurant.
Gallot and his friend were already used to little Bonnie's ability to eat, so they had no objection. They usually ate together first and then went shopping together.
Jerry glanced calmly at the big bear curled up in the corner by the window, waved to little Bonnie, and replied: "Ah, nothing, I was just wandering around and got lost here. You guys eat, I'm going to continue walking around."
"Well, okay, I'm going to start eating!" After saying that, little Bonnie couldn't wait to eat the various delicacies that had just been served on the table.
Realizing that he was not discovered, the big bear breathed a sigh of relief, winked at Jerry, and disappeared on the spot.
Jerry smiled slightly, moved his feet, and moved as well.
In the woods by the river on the outskirts of town, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Jerry casually threw the hook into the water and turned to look at the big bear who was sitting quietly on the side, writing something with his head down.
"I say, Big Bear, you've been peeking at him so many times, are you really not going to meet Little Pony?"
Hearing Jerry's question, Big Bear stopped writing, scratched his head, and his expression changed several times before he said calmly:
"I still don't want to. I'm afraid that after meeting her, I won't be willing to leave and will bring misfortune to her."
"Is it one of the agreements with the World Government?" Jerry tilted his head and touched his ear with his fingers.
Ever since Little Pony followed the Heizi, Big Bear has appeared secretly more than once, but he always hides in the dark, comes and goes quietly, and pays attention to Little Pony's daily life with a smile.
Jerry could always find Big Bear's tracks, but he didn't take the initiative to expose him. He pretended not to see Big Bear and let him use his not-so-great stealth skills to his heart's content.
When everyone was still wandering around the world, Big Bear didn't come here very often. After returning to the Grand Line, he would come to visit every now and then.
Hearing Jerry's question, Big Bear said nothing and agreed.
After a while, a smile gradually appeared on Big Bear's face: "Brother Jerry, thank you very much. It's great that you are willing to take little Pony on board. I can see that she is very happy."
"Uh... okay, so what I mean is, you want to keep the status quo for now, right?" Jerry figured out that Big Bear was going to continue letting Little Bonnie eat and drink for free on the Heizi.
Big Bear nodded shyly: "Please take care of her for me. I believe that when the time comes, everything will be better."
He looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and his smile suddenly brightened: "Because, although I am not sure yet, I may have found the person I have been waiting for for many years."
Hearing this, Jerry didn't even need to think about it to know that what he was waiting for was none other than King Luffy.
Jerry pulled up the fishing rod, and while he skillfully removed the unknown object from the hook and threw it away, he spoke:
"Is that so? It will be little Bonnie's tenth birthday soon, and she has been talking about you a lot lately."
There was endless tenderness in Big Bear's eyes and his face was full of joy.
He slowly reached out and took out a gift box that was obviously carefully prepared, and handed it to Jerry carefully: "Brother, this is my birthday present for her. Can you tell her for me?"
"Just say, wish her a happy tenth birthday."
