Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Up The Waterfall!
While we were traveling we got notice that our crew had received new bounties after our battles against Big Mom and Doflamingo.
Claudia's bounty had gone up from 200 berries to 201 berries.
Rei's bounty was increased to 220 million
Celeste now had a bounty of 430 million
Isabella was the only one whose bounty stayed the same at 750 million. It made sense considering her bounty was only raised so high because Doflamingo was after her, but they did change her bounty poster from only alive to the standard dead or alive.
Sig's bounty had a huge increase going from 110 million to 855 million.
Jack's bounty went up to 1.25 billion.
Yuma's bounty went up to 2 billion and Charlemagne's went up to 2.1 billion
However, strangely, my bounty was the one that went up the most. It went from 1.25 billion to a staggering 4 billion berries. It's highly unusual for bounties to rise so much, especially when they're already so high.
"Huh, do you guys think that these bounties are strange? I mean it makes sense that they would go up a bit, but why so much? Especially mine." I said as we all reviewed our new bounties.
"Oh come on, it's not like you to worry about things Gai. They probably just realized that we're the best pirates in the world." Yuma said enthusiastically.
"Hmm, I don't know that sounds kind of stupid. But it makes a lot of sense to me. Yuma you're a genius, you always know what's going on as always." I said sharing Yuma's enthusiasm.
"I still think that my bounty isn't high enough." Charlemagne said.
Yuma's words cleared my worries about the Navy's newfound interest in all of my crew. Though it still had me wondering why they had suddenly become suddenly so interested in us.
After a few more days of traveling we had finally made it to the giant waterfall that separated the land of Wano from the rest of the sea. It stood grandly in front of us with large carp hopping in and out of the water.
"How are we going to get up there Captain?" Jack asked.
"It's simple, I'm just going to throw us up there." I replied nonchalantly.
"Right, of course. You're just going to throw us up there." Jack said before he gave himself time to think of what I said. "Wait! What do you mean you're going to throw us up there?"
"What else would I mean by throw?" I said as though it was ridiculous that he even asked. "I don't have time for your silly jokes Jack. I have to concentrate."
"Bankai! Kokujo Tengen Muyo!!!!"
Tengen Muyo then
Appeared and was standing in the water next to us. I then had it pick up the ship over his head.
"Um, Leo are you sure that this thing can throw us all the way to the top? It's just that it looks quite far, and it'll be dangerous if we start falling halfway." Celeste said, clearly concerned about our situation.
"Don't worry about it. Tengen Muyo can definitely make the throw. Maybe." I replied.
I had already started throwing us before anyone else could ask any more questions or raise anymore concerns. We were flying through the sky at a great speed and eventually we could see the top of the waterfall. Or at least we did for a second before we started falling again. Suddenly half of my crew started panicking.
"Guys calm down it's no big deal." I said as we were still in a free fall. "I just need to put some more mustard on it next time."
Our ship was caught by Tengen Muyo and I immediately threw it back up as hard as the technique would allow me to. Before we knew it we had landed safely at the top of the waterfall and we were now officially in the land of Wano.
"Guys welcome to Wano Country." I said as I waived my hand showing them the land that we had just entered.
