Chapter 30
Crocodile’s eyes drifted from the daily newspaper and New bounty posters of various different pirates that she had gotten from the news coo just a few moments ago in her hands, and then her husband, Sakazuki, over and over and over and over again.
Sakazuki, for his part, didn’t know what was going on, and was just looking at her with a raised eyebrow, sipping his tea calmly. Crocodile was trying to keep her cool, but she could feel her blood pressure rising with every beat of her heart. “Have you seen the papers today?”
Sakazuki placed his teacup down with a clink. “No, I haven’t. Why? What’s the fuss about?”
Crocodile opens her mouth, and then closes it again. I’m trying to figure out what to say before just reading the article headline allowed. “The Sun God Nika herself and her beloved consort The Demon God and King Of Hell himself have been resurrected and reborn into the flesh of two of the worst generation pirates. The captain of the Strawhat Pirates Monkey D. Luffy and her right hand man Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro to help The Strawhat pirates, The Heart Pirates, The Kid Pirates, 1,000 Samurai, and Atama Thieves to defeat The Strongest Strongest Creature In The World, The King Of Beast himself Kaidou, who had a bounty of 4,611,100,000 berries. The Mother Of An Army Herself Big Mom, who had a bounty of 4,388,000,000 berries. The King Of Beast Right Hand Men King The Wildfire, who had a bounty of 1,390,000,000, and Queen The Plague, who had a bounty of 1,320,000,000. And the rest of the Beast pirates, which roughly had 20,000 members, each of them owning and having smile fruits, 5,000 ninja, 5,000 samurai. Freeing Wano from Kaidou’s iron tight grip all in one night.”
Sakazuki’s eyes grew wide as saucers, he grabbed the newspaper from crocodile with trembling hands. “Is this a joke?” he sputtered, scanning the article for any sign of deceit.
Crocodile hesitates for a second before handing him the bounty poster she’s been staring at for the past good 10 minutes.
The bounty poster both had the same image, but that wasn’t the issue.
The issue is that they looked like God’s.
And secondly, they’re bounties, both Luffy and Zoro both had a bounty of 5,611,100,000 berries each.
In the bounty poster both Luffy and Zoro were facing each other, and Luffy was literally floating A few feet up in the air, her feet tucked up underneath her as she cradled Zoro’s face… One of his faces, the one in the middle. The normal carefree Luffy that everyone knew and loved was nowhere to be seen. No, it was something else entirely. Her hair, eyes, and clothes were a stark contrast to the usual, a divine white and gold that spoke of power beyond comprehension. Her hair and clothes looked like a mash of pure clouds and pure white and pure gold fire, swirling and flicking around her, as if she were in a perpetual storm of her own making. The fiery aura surrounding her was blindingly bright, making it almost impossible to look at her directly. Her eyes once a dark brown, almost black was no more, replaced with a bright eerie colored pink, Red irises and they seem to emit a crimson glow, bathing whatever she was looking at in a hint of red. And her body, her body nearly looked white as it emitted a Golden glow, as she grinned like a crazed madman, looking down at Zoro. And somehow, also looking like she was about to either Kiss the snarl off of your face, or whisper sweet nothings in Zoro’a ear to encourage him to make more chaos in the name of love and destruction. Zoro, on the other hand, in the bounty poster had taken on a far more terrifying visage. He had two additional heads, both of them wearing a terrifying red Oni mask that snarled with malice each, both of the Oni masks each holding one sword in their mouths, his eyes, even the ones below the only masks, all six of them, burned like the pits of hell. His six arms, shoulders, hands, fingers, and necks were covered in tattoos like more kings that each told a story and others were in a language long forgotten. All six of his arms were all holding one katana that looked like it was made out of pure shadows and obsidian. His nails were long and sharp as daggers and blood red, and his face that wasn’t covered by a red Oni mask, The face that Luffy was cradling so lovingly also had a sword held in his mouth, and it had sharp teeth teeth, his teeth were razor sharp, and he had long sharp tusks on his top and bottom teeth were his canine teeth should be, his ears were long and pointed and also had the tattoos on them. Each of the three heads had two sets of absolutely ginormous horns, ones that were slightly smaller and curled slightly like goats horn, and the other set were tall, tall, tall tall as the curved slightly before they curled, both horns looked like they belonged on a dragon, not a person, and you could see his bones beneath his skin and muscles, his dark tan skin was slightly translucent enough to where you could just see his bones. In the bounty posters both Zoro and Luffy look absolutely motherfucking horrifying, terrifying shit your pants and pass out fucking scary, and it set Sakazuki's hair on edge, and shivers run down his spine just by looking at the photo of Luffy and Zoro’s bounty posters.
Sakazuki's jaw dropped as he studied the poster, the gravity of the situation setting in. "This... this is impossible!" he exclaimed, his eyes darting back and forth between the poster and Crocodile. "They can't be the reborn Sun God and the King of Hell!"
Crocodile leaned back in her chair, a smug smile playing on her lips. "Well, apparently they are. And they're causing quite the stir in the pirate world. The bounties are unprecedented. Nearly as high as the pirate king himself before he died."
