One Piece: From Ninja To Pirates

"Are you aware of the situation in the New World?" Jimbei asked.

"Yes, roughly."

Meiser nodded and said, "Ace disbanded the Whitebeard Pirates."

"After that, Ace formed his own pirate crew, while Marco and the other former members of the Whitebeard Pirates joined Ace’s team."

"And then there’s the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea."

At this point, Meiser paused, his expression turning complicated as he continued, "Aside from the newly appointed Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, Whitebeard Jr. and Trafalgar Law... that guy Clown Buggy has also become one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Zoro: ?

Zoro, who had been listening intently, suddenly had several question marks pop up in his head.

"Who did you say?"

Wasn’t that guy a pirate with a bounty of just over ten million? How did he become one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea?

"It’s a bit unbelievable, right?" Meiser said. "But he really is one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Why?"

Zoro’s face was filled with confusion, unable to understand why the Marines would allow someone like Clown Buggy to become one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea.

He’s not even strong.

"Because his identity is very special," Meiser explained.

"Special?"

"How is it special?"

"He was a crew member of Pirate King Roger."

"A crew member of Pirate King Roger?!" Zoro said incredulously. "Him?"

Why would a crew member of the Pirate King be in the East Blue?

And with a bounty of just over ten million...

Could he be hiding his true strength?

But even if he was hiding it, there was no need to appear so weak.

"Although it sounds unbelievable, he really was a crew member of the Pirate King," Meiser said. "Moreover, he has a very close relationship with Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors—you could even say they’re sworn brothers."

"So... the criminals who escaped from Impel Down were willing to follow him."

"That’s why he was able to become one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Although there were many coincidences involved, Buggy truly became one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea because of these circumstances.

So... Meiser felt that this guy might have a bit of luck on his side.

"I see..."

After hearing Meiser’s explanation, Zoro finally understood why Clown Buggy had become one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It was all because of the convenience those titles brought him!

As for his actual strength... that was hard to say.

"To be honest, I have mixed feelings about him becoming one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea," Nami said, her lips twitching.

Who would have thought that the guy Luffy beat up and sent flying two years ago would now become one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea?

"Maybe he’s hiding his true strength," Sanji suggested.

Recalling Buggy’s previous performance, Meiser sighed, "Maybe."

Perhaps this guy named Clown Buggy harbored some hidden agenda, but it had little to do with them, so there was no need to dwell on it too much.

"Speaking of which, that guy Blackbeard is somewhat similar," Perona said. "I remember he didn’t have a bounty before either."

"He’s different." Jimbei shook his head. "Although Blackbeard doesn’t have a bounty, he did come from the Whitebeard Pirates after all."

"Moreover... he killed Thatch and defeated Ace."

With such impressive achievements, even without a bounty, the World Government would be willing to give him a position among the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Fire Fist Ace..."

As if understanding something, Perona nodded and said nothing more.

"Speaking of which... what else has Blackbeard been up to lately?" Meiser glanced at Jimbei. "The intelligence I received suggests he’s been recruiting and expanding his forces recently, clearly planning something big."

"The information I have is actually quite similar to yours," Jimbei said. "He is indeed recruiting and expanding."

After a pause, Jimbei frowned and speculated, "I suspect he might be aiming to become one of the new Four Emperors in one fell swoop."

Given that man’s ambition, it wouldn’t be surprising for him to attempt such a thing.

"Four Emperors..."

Hearing the term "Four Emperors," the expressions of Nami and the others immediately changed.

The Four Emperors—

Such beings were completely different from the enemies they usually encountered.

"It’s normal for him to have such ambitions," Meiser said. "After all... he managed to get his hands on Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Blackbeard, having consumed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, definitely has the potential to become one of the Four Emperors!

"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit..."

At the mention of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Jimbei’s expression grew somewhat complicated.

Who would have thought that Pops’ Devil Fruit ability would end up in the hands of that scoundrel Teach?

"The Devil Fruit of the former Four Emperor, Whitebeard," Perona remarked.

"Yes."

Meiser nodded. "You haven’t seen it with your own eyes, so you don’t know, but the destructive power of that ability is truly astonishing."

It could be said that if Whitebeard had wanted to back then... he could have sunk Marine Headquarters!

"No wonder he wants to vie for a position among the Four Emperors."

"With that ability, it makes sense."

"Speaking of which... I also heard something else," Jimbei said.

"What is it?"

This time, Jimbei didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head in thought before looking up and saying, "A while ago, I went to Totto Land... that is, the territory of the Big Mom Pirates."

"There, I learned something from Katakuri."

"He said that the Blackbeard Pirates have recently been producing a lot of Ability Users, and the speed at which they’re appearing is somewhat abnormal."

"Maybe they bought Devil Fruits from the black market," Nami guessed.

After all, Meiser had also asked Shakky to keep an eye out for Devil Fruits, so Nami didn’t find this particularly strange.

"Perhaps," Jimbei said.

Given their strength, it wouldn’t be unusual for them to have the financial means to purchase a sufficient number of Devil Fruits, so Jimbei didn’t dwell on it too much.

Then, Jimbei looked at Luffy and said, "But since Blackbeard has a grudge against you all, it’s better to be careful."

"Careful of what?"

"Careful that they come looking for trouble with you."

Jimbei said, "Moreover... when a Devil Fruit Ability User dies, their ability is reborn somewhere in the sea, just like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit he obtained anew."

"So... that guy Blackbeard might set his sights on your abilities."

As he spoke, Jimbei glanced at Usopp, the implication clear.

The More-More Fruit ability... was far too enticing!

Hearing Jimbei’s words, Usopp’s pupils instantly contracted.

Target his ability?

Wait, that guy Blackbeard wouldn’t come to kill him, would he?!

At this thought, Usopp’s face immediately turned pale.

"Eek!"

"Target my ability?!" Chopper, standing beside Usopp, said with a terrified expression, "Then I must be in great danger!"

No way!

Usopp:

"Nobody would be interested in the Human-Human Fruit," Usopp retorted. "If anyone’s in danger, it’s me."

"Huh?"

"Is that so?"

Chopper was taken aback. Was his Human-Human Fruit really that unpopular?

He felt he was quite impressive.

"Your Devil Fruit probably wouldn’t have any effect if a human ate it," Meiser explained with a smile. "So no one would target you."

If he wasn’t mistaken, Chopper’s Devil Fruit was the Human-Human Fruit: Ordinary Human Model.

If a human ate this ability, aside from becoming unable to swim, there would be no other changes. Thus, Blackbeard wouldn’t be interested in this ability either.

Sanji also nodded and said, "In a sense... Chopper’s ability can only reach its full potential when he eats it."

"After all... no one else could develop something like the Rumble Ball, so you can rest easy."

He didn’t think anyone would target Chopper’s ability anyway.

"That’s a relief..."

Upon hearing this, Chopper first sighed in relief, then said somewhat dejectedly, "But why do I feel a bit unhappy about it?"

Damn it, to think his Human-Human Fruit was looked down upon... that guy Blackbeard really had no taste!!

"Isn’t not being targeted a good thing?" Nami said with a headache. "I’m actually quite envious."

As a Logia-type ability user, she was in great danger!

"Don’t worry," Luffy adjusted his hat and said, "If that guy dares to come after us, I’ll punch him away!"

"Luffy is right," Meiser chimed in. "With our current strength, we don’t need to fear them."

Not to mention the Blackbeard Pirates, even the current Straw Hat Pirates were confident enough to clash with the Four Emperors!

So there was no need to fear the Blackbeard Pirates either.

Seeing both Luffy and Meiser speak so confidently, Chopper and Nami gradually relaxed.

Yes, they were strong too!

"Ah!"

"What are you all doing here?" Camie, swimming over with Pappag, said with a smile. "You’re the stars of the banquet. How can you sneak away?"

"We had something to discuss," Meiser replied with a laugh. "Besides, we’ve pretty much finished eating, haven’t we?"

Camie blinked at his words. Was that so?

"Hey, Straw Hat!" Pappag, who had jumped off Camie, approached Luffy and said, "When are you leaving?"

"We’ll leave right after the banquet."

"Huh?!"

Pappag was stunned. "Why so soon?"

"At least stay a few more days!"

He hasn’t even properly fulfilled his duties as host, why is he in such a hurry?

At the very least, he should let him properly entertain the Straw Hat Crew.

"That won’t do," Luffy grinned, showing his teeth. "We’ve been looking forward to going to the New World for a long time, so we can’t stay here for long!!"

If it weren’t for this banquet, he wouldn’t have stayed here until now.

"How could this be..."

Seeing Pappag looking so dejected, Meiser said, "All good things must come to an end, Pappag."

After saying that, Meiser paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don’t be sad, we’ll meet again sooner or later."

"Sooner or later we’ll meet again..." Pappag blinked, then regained his energy and said, "You have to keep your word then!"

"Of course!"

Meiser gave a thumbs-up.

"Alright!"

Seeing Pappag become lively again, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

Just then, Neptune wobbled over.

"So you’re here, Meiser."

Hearing the name "Meiser," everyone understood that this uncle also knew Meiser’s identity.

"Your Majesty King Neptune!"

"Uncle Neptune!"

Everyone greeted Neptune, and he drunkenly nodded in return.

Then, Neptune looked at Meiser and said, "Meiser, could we talk alone?"

He had already thanked the Straw Hat Pirates, but he hadn’t thanked Meiser personally yet, so... he needed to talk to Meiser alone.

"Alright."

Meiser didn’t refuse either, standing up and leaving with Neptune.

Watching them leave, Merry asked curiously, "What does Uncle Neptune want to talk to Meiser about?"

He even needed to call Meiser away alone...

"Maybe it’s because of the incident two years ago," Jimbei guessed.

Two years ago, Meiser had saved the Fish-Man race on Mary Geoise, so... it’s only natural that he would want to talk to Meiser alone.

"Those events from two years ago..."

Hearing Jimbei’s words, everyone nodded as if they understood something.

The king of Fish-Man Island... probably has a lot he wants to say to Meiser.

"Uncle Neptune, what do you want to tell me?" Leaning against a pillar, Meiser smiled and looked at Neptune. "You even needed to call me out alone."

Upon hearing this, Neptune didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he pursed his lips and looked at Meiser for a while.

After a moment, he bowed to Meiser and said, "Meiser, thank you for your assistance to the Fish-Man race two years ago."

"Huh?"

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Seeing Neptune bow, Meiser immediately walked over to help him up, but Neptune stopped him.

"You deserve this."

Neptune said, "If it weren’t for you, those Fish-Men living on Mary Geoise would never have been able to walk out alive in their lifetime."

"That was just a small effort."

"For you, it was a small effort, but not for me." Neptune shook his head. "If it weren’t for you, I, as an incompetent king, could never have saved my own people."

"So... I am very grateful to you."

At this point, tears even glistened in Neptune’s eyes—he truly hated his own powerlessness.

Because... he couldn’t save his people trapped in Mary Geoise.

Listening to Neptune’s words, Meiser sighed quietly.

It seemed this usually optimistic old man was also suffering deep down.

He probably just put on that cheerful facade to avoid worrying others.

Then, Meiser said, "Uncle Neptune, I accept your thanks. Please stand up."

Seeing that Meiser had accepted his gratitude, Neptune forced back the tears in his eyes and straightened up.

"If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to ask," Neptune said earnestly. "Although the items in our Treasure Vault were just stolen, we can still scrape together some things."

Looking at Neptune’s serious expression, Meiser thought for a moment before smiling and saying, "Then get me a Log Pose to the New World."

"Huh?"

Neptune was stunned by Meiser’s request. That... that’s it?

"You..."

Seeing Neptune about to say something more, Meiser interrupted with a smile, "Hey..."

"Uncle Neptune... Jimbei and Shirahoshi are both my friends."

"So don’t be so formal with me."

Looking at this man with his brilliant smile, Neptune couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Watching the tears welling in Neptune’s eyes, Meiser pursed his lips, unsure what to say for a moment.

Neptune didn’t mind, continuing on his own, "Meiser, you know, I see in you the hope of realizing Otohime’s dream."

"So..."

"Sorry."

By the end, Neptune was choking up, barely able to speak.

"Don’t worry."

Meiser said softly, "Queen Otohime’s dream will definitely come true."

Watching Meiser’s gradually blurring figure, Neptune said, "Thank you..."

This feeling of being acknowledged... it’s truly wonderful!

A moment later, with his emotions stabilized, Neptune wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Sorry for making a fool of myself."

"Not at all," Meiser turned to look at the sea outside and said softly, "Though men are said not to shed tears easily, it’s only because they haven’t reached the depths of sorrow."

Everyone experiences such moments, so there’s no need to mock others.

Neptune gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, realizing he hadn’t been as open-minded as this young man who appeared to be only in his twenties.

Then, Neptune said, "Meiser, I assume you don’t want to reveal that you’re still alive."

"Yes."

Meiser nodded and said, "If it were exposed here, it might have some negative impact on your Fish-Man Island."

Neptune pursed his lips upon hearing this—the other’s first concern was actually for Fish-Man Island... what remarkable magnanimity!

Taking a deep breath, Neptune said seriously, "Don’t worry. Aside from our Neptune Royal Family, only a few soldiers know you’re alive."

"But I’ve ordered them to keep it secret, so you can rest assured."

With these preparations, there’s no way the news of Meiser being alive could leak out!

This time, Meiser simply nodded without saying anything more.

After concluding that topic, the two of them walked back the way they came, chatting and laughing.

"How many days do you plan to stay on Fish-Man Island?" Neptune asked curiously.

"Luffy’s idea is that after attending this banquet, we’ll leave here for the New World," Meiser said.

Neptune was stunned for a moment, then anxiously said, "So soon?"

"At least stay a few more days."

"Our banquet can last for several days!"

He really enjoyed the feeling of partying with the Straw Hat Crew, so he didn’t want them to leave so quickly.

"We all want to go to the New World as soon as possible, Uncle Neptune," Meiser said. "So we won’t stay on Fish-Man Island for too long."

"I see..."

Neptune pursed his lips. Honestly, he was reluctant to see these guys leave, but since they had said so, he couldn’t insist any further.

So, Neptune said, "In that case, I won’t press the matter."

"However... the gates of Ryugu Palace will always be open to you."

This time, Meiser didn’t say anything more, just nodded with a smile.

Just then, Prince Fukaboshi swam over holding the Straw Hat Pirates’ wanted posters.

"Huh?"

"Father?"

"Lord Meiser?"

Seeing the two chatting in the corridor, Prince Fukaboshi asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Just chatting," Neptune said. "Do you have something?"

"I just received the Straw Hat Pirates’ wanted posters," Prince Fukaboshi said. "I was planning to take them over for them to see."

"Then let’s go together."

Meiser glanced at the corner ahead and said, "Everyone is over there."

Hearing this, Neptune blinked. Was this old man supposed to go along too?

After thinking for a moment, Neptune decided to follow and take a look, clearly also curious about the Straw Hat Pirates’ latest wanted posters.

Prince Fukaboshi obediently nodded and followed Meiser back to the balcony from earlier.

"You’re done talking," Nami said, looking up.

"Yes, we’re done."

Meiser nodded, then glanced at Prince Fukaboshi and said, "He said he got our crew’s latest wanted posters and wanted to bring them over for us to see."

At these words, the Straw Hat Pirates members present immediately showed interested expressions.

"Latest wanted posters..." Luffy said excitedly, "Did my bounty increase again?"

"Did mine go up too?!" Chopper asked expectantly.

Merry also looked expectantly at the wanted posters in Prince Fukaboshi’s hands and said, "Do I have a wanted poster now too?"

She was really looking forward to having her own wanted poster!

"I hope mine didn’t go up," Nami said, clasping her hands together.

Hearing this, Perona gave Nami a strange look. Wasn’t a bounty increase a good thing?

What pirate was afraid of that?

But then, remembering Nami’s personality, Perona understood.

This girl was really afraid of dying, even after eating a Logia-type Devil Fruit, so it made sense she’d be scared of this.

Thinking this, Perona nodded.

Then she said, "I wonder if there’s one for me."

If she got a bounty... Lord Moria would know she had set out to sea!

"I hope they give me a new wanted poster," Sanji also said, clasping his hands together.

Really, please.

Taking in everyone’s reactions, Prince Fukaboshi broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I don’t know what your wanted posters look like either. I brought them over as soon as I got them."

"Let me see."

Meiser took the wanted posters from Prince Fukaboshi and looked down to examine them.

At the same time, he said, "Luffy’s bounty is 500 million. There’s no change."

Luffy pouted upon hearing this; he had thought his bounty would increase.

Still five billion... how boring.

Meiser felt a bit helpless seeing this—was this guy still not satisfied?

Bounties aren’t that easy to raise, you know!

Shaking his head, Meiser looked down at the other wanted posters and said, "Not only has Luffy’s bounty not changed, but the others’ are the same as well."

After a pause, he continued, "Hmm, Sanji’s is still the same."

Upon hearing Meiser’s words, Sanji seemed to suffer a fatal blow, collapsing to the ground.

"Damn it..."

A pale-faced Sanji said tearfully, "I’ll settle the score with those damn Marines sooner or later..."

Why was his wanted poster a sketch, dammit?!

Ah!!

Seeing Sanji in such agony, the others showed a hint of pity—this guy was really too unlucky.

"Don’t look at me like that, you guys!"

Meiser couldn’t help but twitch his lips at this.

"Weren’t these supposed to be the latest wanted posters?" Chopper asked, puzzled. "If nothing’s changed, why are they the latest?"

"Probably because a few of us were newly issued wanted posters," Meiser said, pointing to himself, Perona, and Merry.

Hearing Meiser’s explanation, Chopper immediately showed an expression of understanding—that made sense.

"Then hurry up and see what yours is," Usopp said.

He was curious about the bounty for Meiser’s current identity.

"Let me see," Meiser said.

As he spoke, Meiser flipped out his own wanted poster and said somewhat speechlessly, "Sunglasses Man..."

"What kind of weird nickname is that?!"

"Well, you wear sunglasses all the time," Usopp laughed.

Meiser rolled his eyes. Although he did wear sunglasses and hadn’t given his name, still... did it have to be such a strange title?

They could’ve given him a nickname related to wood or something.

"How much is the bounty?" Perona asked curiously.

"Let me check."

After glancing at the bounty amount, Meiser said, "One hundred million Berries..."

He paused, then smiled. "I didn’t expect my new alias to get a bounty over a hundred million on its first wanted poster."

"Maybe it’s because you took down that Pacifista alone," Zoro said.

He had experienced how strong those things were two years ago, so it wasn’t surprising at all that Meiser got such a bounty.

"Getting a bounty over a hundred million on your first wanted poster is no small feat," Jimbei remarked.

Although not as exaggerated as Meiser’s original alias, it was still a terrifyingly high number.

After all... he wasn’t the captain!

Then, Jimbei added with some emotion, "I wonder how much bounty the World Government will put on Meiser once they find out he’s still alive."

Hearing this, the others also showed anticipation in their eyes—they were curious about this too.

"We’ll find out when the time comes," Meiser said with a smile.

But he felt it should exceed one billion.

After all... he had attacked Mary Geoise!

"What about mine, mine?" Merry leaned over and asked. "Do I have one?"

"Let me see."

Meiser flipped open his latest wanted poster and looked at the next one.

"Hmm, there is one." Meiser nodded and said, "Straw Hat Pirates Apprentice · Merry."

"Hey, the picture is actually pretty cute."

"How much is the bounty?"

Merry raised her head, looking at Meiser expectantly.

Upon hearing Merry’s words, Meiser instinctively glanced at the bounty amount and then fell silent.

He had thought earlier that he hadn’t noticed the amount, but it turned out it was because the number was too small to catch his attention...

"What’s wrong?" Merry asked, puzzled, looking at Meiser. "Tell me quickly."

"Merry, the bounty is 1..."

At this point, Meiser suddenly paused, his expression turning complicated.

"Ten million?!"

Merry’s eyes lit up. "Although it’s not particularly high, I’m still satisfied."

This was a good start!

With that in mind... after she participated in a few more battles, it should rise to a hundred million, right?

Thinking this, Merry’s eyes began to sparkle.

Meanwhile, Chopper clenched his fists and said, "Damn, I wish my first bounty was ten million too..."

Why was his only 50 Berries?!

How infuriating!!

Taking in both of their reactions, Meiser fell silent for a moment before pursing his lips and saying, "It’s not ten million."

"Then... one million?" Merry blinked.

Although not much, it was still acceptable.

"It’s one hundred... 1"

As soon as he said this, Merry’s expression froze.

"One hundred... no ’million’?"

"Yes, no ’million.’" Meiser nodded.

After receiving the confirmation, Merry was completely stunned into silence.

Then, her entire body turned gray, tears streaming down her face as she slumped to the ground.

"Why is it only one hundred..."

"I’ve done so much, why is it only one hundred..."

She had flown her companions all the way to the ship and even used her abilities to destroy the warship!

She had done so much... why was it still only one hundred?!

At this thought, Merry’s tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Merry, don’t cry." Chopper anxiously ran to Merry’s side and said, "Look at me, my bounty is only 50!"

"At least yours can buy a newspaper, but I can’t even afford one..."

As he spoke, Chopper started crying himself, then slumped dejectedly beside Merry and said, "Damn, why is my bounty only 50..."

At least Merry’s bounty could buy a newspaper, but his couldn’t even afford one!

How infuriating!!

Watching these two little ones slumped on the ground crying dejectedly, the others were left speechless.

So, what exactly were you trying to comfort them with?

"Ahem, although the first bounty is a bit low, it’ll definitely increase over time." Usopp leaned closer to the two of them and said, "After the next battle, it’ll definitely go up!"

"So don’t be sad, you two."

"Really?!"

The two adorable creatures looked up at Usopp together, their eyes filled with anticipation for a high bounty.

Hearing this, Usopp fell silent. Honestly, he felt something was off about these bounties, so he wasn’t very confident either.

But faced with the eyes of these two little ones, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything cruel.

So—

"Of course!" Usopp said, giving a thumbs-up. "It’ll definitely go up!!"

No matter how much, as long as it goes up!!

After receiving this confirmation, the two little ones stopped being sad and stood up together.

Seeing this, Usopp immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheering up kids really wasn’t an easy task.

"By the way, why are their bounties like this?" Nami said curiously. "If it were just Chopper, I could understand, but both of them..."

"I’m not sure about that," Meiser said, shaking his head.

Who knew what was going on with the Marines?

Maybe... they were deliberately trying to mess with their Straw Hat Pirates?

It wasn’t impossible.

Then, Meiser looked at Merry and Chopper and said, "Although I don’t know what’s going on, I believe your bounties will go up sooner or later."

"Mhm!"

The two little ones nodded seriously, accepting Meiser’s words.

They would definitely work hard from now on!

Seeing this, Meiser smiled, then looked down at the last wanted poster and said, "The last one is..."

"That’s right, it’s yours, Perona."

"Ghost Princess Perona, bounty 70 million Berries."

"Seventy million on your first bounty," Sanji said with admiration. "Miss Perona is really amazing."

This bounty was even higher than his own—how absurd.

But when he thought about who she had once followed, Sanji understood why her bounty was so high.

Maybe... it was because of Moria, the former Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Thinking this, Sanji nodded.

"Let me see."

Perona, taking the wanted poster from Meiser’s hand, curiously examined the photo on it.

Judging by the photo, it must have been taken secretly on Sabaody Archipelago.

"I have to say, it’s quite a nice photo," Perona said with a laugh.

"You’re famous now, Perona," Nami said.

"Isn’t that even better?"

Perona smiled, her lips curling upward. "This way, Lord Moria will have a chance to see me."

That way... they’d have a chance to get in touch again!!

"That’s true," Nami said with a laugh.

If Moria spotted Perona’s wanted poster, he’d probably try to contact her.

So... this was a good thing.

Meanwhile, Jimbei looked at Perona with some confusion.

Lord Moria?

Wasn’t this little girl part of the Straw Hat Crew? Why was she calling Moria, the former Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, "Lord"?

What... was going on here?

Glancing at the cheerful, laughing group, Jimbei fell into deep thought.
