Chapter 40 Breaking the 100 million reward, the stunned Bonney!
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 11:52:34 +0000 UTCAs soon as Bonney's low scolding fell, there were two knocks on the door outside the captain's room.
"Boom! Boom!"
Immediately afterward, the captain's door was pushed open.
"Squeak~"
A female pirate walked in.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Bonney sitting on the bed, hiding her face.
Seeing Bonney in this state, the female pirate couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Then she asked in confusion, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Hearing this, Bonney was silent for a moment. Then she gritted her teeth and replied in a deep voice, "Ugh!"
"Dreaming about those guys again. It's really haunting me!"
Bonney took a deep breath and rubbed her face vigorously.
The female pirate didn't say much after hearing Bonney's words. She felt the same way about this.
Since that incident, the people on the boat had been experiencing similar nightmares, and it had been going on for three days.
Those who dreamed were almost always the same ones.
A group of pirates who had been involved in bloodshed, murder, and arson had been plagued by nightmares for three consecutive days due to one event.
It was easy to imagine how deeply they had been shaken during that time.
This phenomenon didn't subside until three days later.
Afterward, although some people still had nightmares occasionally, it had become a rare occurrence.
Having calmed down her fear, Bonney came back to her senses and reacted.
Turning to look at the female pirate who had entered, Bonney asked, "By the way, what brings you here?"
Hearing this, the female pirate hesitated for a moment.
After a while, she took out a newspaper and asked tentatively, "Do you want to read today's newspaper? There's news about those guys..."
As soon as the female pirate said this, Bonney's body froze.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and the entire captain's room fell into silence.
Seeing that Bonney didn't speak, the female pirate seemed to understand Bonney's thoughts and waved, saying, "Okay, I understand. I'll go first."
With that, the female pirate turned to leave.
But at that moment, Bonney suddenly stopped her.
"Wait!"
The female pirate looked back in confusion.
Bonney beckoned and ordered, "Bring it here."
Some time ago, Bonney and the others had tried to find some information about Kronos.
But they couldn't find anything.
After all, they had no other clues about Kronos and his crew, except for the fact that they'd first encountered them by boarding their ship.
Bonney and the others began to guess if they were pirates who had just set out to sea.
After all, a pirate group with such powerful crew members and an even stronger captain—if they hadn’t just set out—how could they not have a ship of their own?
After much speculation, they gave up on finding more information about Kronos and the others.
At this point, the female pirate walked toward Bonney and handed over the newspaper.
"Are you okay?" the female pirate asked. "After reading this, you won’t have nightmares again, will you?"
Bonney gave the female pirate a blank look and said impatiently, "Stop being so talkative."
Taking the newspaper, Bonney opened it and read it briefly.
On the first page, Bonney saw Kronos' portrait.
There was also information about him written underneath.
Among the text, a particularly bold and enlarged section caught her attention.
Kamui Pirates, Kronos!
Upon seeing these words, Bonney showed a stunned expression.
"So, his name is Kronos!"
"Kamui Pirates...?"
She muttered to herself as she continued reading.
But when she saw Kronos' bounty, Bonney's pupils sharply contracted.
"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one hundred million...?!"
"Bounty...237 million Berry?!"
Bonney felt a tingling sensation in her scalp as she counted the numbers.
This... This is the first time a bounty has exceeded 100 million right from the start?!
And it's nearly double her own bounty!
Bonney was horrified.
What in the world have those guys been doing recently?
How could their bounty soar to 200 million?!
Her eyes lingered on Kronos' portrait for a long time before she continued reading the text.
Soon, she noticed another familiar portrait.
It was a man with silver-white hair and a black blindfold!
This man... Bonney would never forget him.
The strength he showed back then was simply terrifying.
With his power alone, he defeated all the members of two pirate groups in a short amount of time!
Quickly, Bonney noticed a string of numbers next to the copy.
When Bonney saw the series of numbers clearly, her expression changed immediately.
"Kamui Pirates, Gojo Satoru, bounty...178 million Berry?!"
At this moment, Bonney's face was filled with uncontrollable shock.
A Kamui pirate group, with an estimated number of four, already has two members whose bounties exceed 100 million Berry?!
