Chapter 459 The 4 Emperors, Straw Hat Luffy!

A few days later, somewhere on the sea in the New World.

"Luffy! Come and see!!"

Chopper's shocked voice rang out, attracting the attention of everyone on the boat.

"Hey! Chopper! What's going on? You're making such a fuss that you scared away my fish!"

Usopp, who was fishing on the edge of the boat, couldn't help but complain.

"It seems like you don't have any fish there?"

Franky took off his sunglasses and looked at the sea.

"Hey! Franky, don't tell anyone! I want to make Chopper feel guilty!"

"What's wrong, Chopper?"

Luffy, who was lying on the bow, sat up and looked at Chopper on the deck and asked curiously.

"You have a new bounty!"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy jumped up with a start, rushed to Chopper at the fastest speed in his life, snatched the bounty order from his hand and put it in front of him.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ... hundred million, billion!"

"1.5 billion!!"

"My bounty has increased by 500 million!!"

(☆▽☆)!

Luffy was extremely excited at this moment. Seeing his bounty increasing made him feel sweeter than eating honey.

This made him happier than when his fortune suddenly increased to 1 billion after the Battle of Marineford.

Because at that time, although he defeated several powerful enemies in the war at the top, overall it felt like he was just paddling through.

As a result, their bounty increased so much after half a year.

They naturally also knew that most of this was due to Xia Chen.

Therefore, even though his strength at that time was worthy of the 1 billion bounty, he always felt that a sense of accomplishment was missing.

It’s different now!

Now the bounty was increased by his own efforts without the help of Xia Chen.

This makes me proud and happy!

"Luffy, I feel like you could pay more attention to this than your bounty!"

Robin raised the newspaper in her hand and said to Luffy.

"What is that, Robin?"

Nami took the newspaper from Robin, opened it, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Seeing this, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

"Ms. Nami, what does it say?"

Sanji asked curiously.

Hearing this, Nami first glanced at everyone, then returned her gaze to the newspaper in her hand and said:

"The headline of the newspaper is 'Re-entering the Four Emperors Era! Straw Hat Boy Luffy, the Fourth Emperor of the New World!'"

"Eh?!!"

Everyone was shocked and even Luffy himself was a little confused.

"After traveling around the world, you become a Four Emperor?"

There was curiosity in Sanji's tone. Although their current strength is not weak in the New World, it is still far from the level of the Four Emperors Pirate Group, right?

Not to mention anything else, based on their experience fighting with Big Mom, Luffy is still some distance away from Big Mom.

In order to become an emperor-level pirate group, the most important thing is that the leader’s strength must be up to standard, otherwise how can the world fear them?

Of course, the size of the pirate group under your command is also very important!

Their pirate group now only has one ship, and they don't even have any affiliated pirate groups. No matter how you look at it, they don't have the qualifications to be one of the Four Emperors, right?

"Do you think it's possible that this is the World Government testing us?"

Brook, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Brook, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that the World Government is going to take action against us? No way?"

There was a hint of fear on Chopper's face.

"I don't know! Just a guess!"

Brooke said, shaking her head.

"I just think this is possible. The World Government never targeted us before because of Xia Chen. Now Xia Chen has disappeared for more than a month."

"I was wondering if this was a deliberate attempt by the World Government to test Xia Chen's current situation and make us the target of public criticism. Then many pirates will target us!"

"The pressure we face will be much greater. If Xia Chen doesn't take action at that time, they might take action against us!"

"Of course, all of this is just my guess. I don't know the specific situation!"

"You know what! It's very possible!" Jinbei nodded in agreement.

"It is well known to everyone how much the World Government fears Brother Xia Chen, because the prestige of this World Government has even declined a lot."

"So now that Brother Xia Chen hasn't appeared for more than a month, they must be eager to know Brother Xia Chen's current situation!"

"It's totally normal to do something like this!"

After hearing what Jinbei said, basically everyone on the boat agreed with this statement.

"Then what should we do now?"

Usopp's tone was filled with worry.

"What are you afraid of? If they dare to come over, we'll just chop them down as many times as they come! It will be over if we kill them all!"

Zoro smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Luffy, what do you think? Do you think we need to do something about it?"

Nami suddenly looked at Luffy and asked, but the next second she regretted asking Luffy this question.

"What? There's meat?"

Luffy had a surprised expression on his face.

Everyone: .

"Okay! These are my questions for you!"

Nami held her forehead with her hand, her tone filled with helplessness.

"I don't think there's any need for us to take any corresponding measures in this situation. After all, everything that happened just now was just our guess!"

"And... even if that's true, we don't know what the World Government will do to us."

"Therefore, I think the most important thing for us now is to improve our own strength. As long as our strength is improved, then all problems will not be a problem, just like when Xia Chen was here!"

"He's not on board right now, and we have to adapt to dealing with various crises without him, just like we've been doing for a month!"

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and said calmly.

"Sanji is right! Let's not worry about these things, let's see how long it will take to get to Wano Country!"

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

Luffy said with a smile, his eyes revealing his longing for Wano Country.

"That's right! Let's focus on the next country, Wano. I wonder what the country of samurai is like?"

There was also a hint of anticipation in Zoro's eyes.

After hearing what the two said, no one else thought about this matter anymore. Since the eldest and second oldest were not in a hurry, then what did they have to worry about?

The sky is falling, but there are tall people to hold it up~

At the same time, in another sea area of ​​the New World.

An extremely huge elephant moved slowly on the sea.

And in the sky above the elephant...

"Master Xia Chen, would you like to see the publicity I did for your pirate group?"
