"Is... is this my wanted poster?" Fang Yi stared at the wanted poster showing his image of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. He asked in great surprise.
"Yup, although the bounty is a bit low, it's your first bounty after all! And you're still young. The World Government definitely won't offer you a very high bounty!" Yamon said with a smile as he watched Fang Yi's surprised expression.
However, Fang Yi was extremely happy. Grinning from ear to ear as he looked at his bounty, he said, "Teacher Yamon, look! I've got a bounty too!"
Yamon looked at Fang Yi with a somewhat speechless expression. He couldn't believe Fang Yi got so excited over just an eight - million bounty.
Indeed, Fang Yi's first bounty was only eight million.
But this was also because Fang Yi was young. Based on his achievement of defeating the Navy's Supernova, Kizaru, his bounty should be more than that.
Of course, in Kizaru's view, his defeat by Fang Yi didn't count. He believed that as long as he took the initiative next time he met Fang Yi, he wouldn't lose again. Still, the fact that he made a tactical retreat this time was undeniable.
Soon, the news that Fang Yi had a bounty spread throughout the whole ship. Shanks and Buggy both looked envious. For pirates, a wanted poster was also a reflection of a pirate's strength from the side.
"Humph, it's only eight million. If I were wanted, my bounty would definitely be over ten million!" Buggy looked envious, but said the opposite with his mouth.
"Hahaha... The Mysterious Archer, Fang Yi! Well... I don't think this nickname is very good. It doesn't bring out my charm at all!" Fang Yi didn't even bother to pay attention to Buggy. This guy was just jealous.
"Slap!"
However, Fang Yi's proud look annoyed many people, like his melee combat teacher, Jaba.
"Kid... Don't be too cocky! Once you're wanted, it means more people will have their eyes on you. No one will underestimate you in future battles! And those bounty hunters and Navy admirals will also come after you!" Jaba said with a smile as he slapped Fang Yi on the back of the head.
"Hehehe... It doesn't matter! I'm not afraid of them!" Fang Yi still said with a smile.
In a certain sea area of the New World, after a battle, the Whitebeard Pirates were taking a break. Sachi, a member of the crew, walked up to Whitebeard, the captain, with a wanted poster in his hand and said with a smile, "Dad, look!"
"What is it?" Whitebeard put down the wine bottle in his hand, took the wanted poster that Sachi handed over curiously, and asked with a smile.
"Has Dad's bounty gone up again?" Bista asked with a smile.
"No! And this matter has something to do with you too!" Sachi waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Gurarara... So it's that kid from Roger's crew! Marco, Bista! You gotta step up your game!" Whitebeard burst into laughter after reading the wanted poster.
"Huh?" Marco and Bista were stunned. They looked at each other in confusion, then walked towards Whitebeard.
But when the two of them saw Fang Yi's face on the wanted poster, they opened their mouths in surprise!
"Tsk... Just eight million berries in bounty! If I were him, I'd surely rake in over ten million!" Marco's tone was exactly the same as Bucky's.
"Hahaha... Didn't expect him to be put on the bounty list so soon. He's really something! But it won't be easy for him to catch up with me!" Vista said with a light chuckle after reading the bounty news.
Vista was two years older than Marco. Because he was a swordsman, he was already a well - known local swordsman before joining the Whitebeard Pirates. So after becoming a pirate, he was soon put on the bounty list, and now his bounty had reached an astonishing thirty - four million berries.
So Fang Yi's eight - million - berry bounty was really nothing in Vista's eyes.
"Gurarara... Lads, get ready quickly. We're setting sail. We can't lose to the Roger Pirates!" Slowly getting up, Whitebeard held his naginata and shouted.
"Ooh~~" The members of the Whitebeard Pirates responded loudly.
Fang Yi would never have imagined that the fact that he was put on the bounty list had actually sparked a competitive spirit between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates.
In another sea area of the New World, a pirate fleet composed of five or six pirate ships was heading towards a certain island.
"Gehehehe! Looks like Roger's up to something again! His bounty's gone up once more!" The captain of the Flying Pirates, the former senior cadre of the Rocks Pirates, the Flying Pirate Shiki the Golden Lion, laughed out loud as he looked at the stack of bounty posters in his hand.
"Karakara... I heard that they actually attacked the Navy led by Sengoku and successfully damaged a warship, which is why the bounty increased!" Indigo, one of Shiki's subordinates, a scientist - looking man with a big smile on his face, said with a strange laugh.
"I see... Hmm?" Just as Shiki continued to look through the new bounty posters, he noticed an unfamiliar face among the Roger Pirates' posters.
"What's wrong, Captain?" Indigo asked curiously when he saw Shiki in deep thought.
"This kid... looks kind of familiar!" Shiki frowned and said.
"Eh? He's so young and already on the World Government's bounty list. He must have some extraordinary skills! And he even uses a bow and arrow as a weapon!" Indigo said in surprise.
After thinking carefully, Shiki still couldn't remember who Fang Yi was. So he simply threw the bounty poster away and shouted, "Indigo... How long until we reach the target?"
"We'll be there soon, Captain... Are we going to have a big fight this time?" Indigo replied with a smile.
"Of course..." Shiki the Golden Lion, with a cigar in his mouth, walked out of the cabin laughing. In front of him was the Demon Island where he had been once.
Apart from Fang Yi himself and a few people who had come into contact with him, the fact that he was put on the bounty list didn't cause much of a stir. After seeing his bounty poster, people just sighed about his young age and then quickly forgot what he looked like. The main reason was that his bounty was too low.
However, on the same day when Fang Yi learned that he had a bounty on his head, just after twelve o'clock at night as the property service time indicated, the system rang out a series of prompt tones:
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained the bounty for the first time. Your points have increased by 800... The bounty interface is now open!"
"Congratulations! Your points have exceeded ten thousand. The mall is upgrading..."
Fang Yi, who was sleeping, was woken up by the system's prompt tones. After carefully reading through them, he looked at the bottom - right corner of his vision in surprise. Sure enough, there was an icon for the bounty interface.
Curious, Fang Yi immediately opened the bounty interface. What came into view first was a completely black, tower - like building. It was smallest at the top and largest at the bottom.
Moreover, this tower looked quite familiar, making Fang Yi feel as if he had seen it somewhere. Finally, he remembered that it was quite similar to the Navy's Impel Down.
When he clicked on the first floor of the tower, three prison cells appeared, but they were empty inside, with nothing in them.
After carefully reading the introduction of the bounty interface, Fang Yi understood what this tower was for.
Fang Yi could choose to imprison the bounty criminals he killed inside the black tower. The system would then use energy to create a virtual copy of each criminal and imprison it in the tower. At the same time, the criminal's bounty would be converted into points and awarded to Fang Yi.
If Fang Yi didn't choose to imprison a bounty criminal, then he couldn't get the points corresponding to that criminal's bounty.
That meant he could currently obtain the points converted from the bounties of three bounty criminals. If he wanted to get more, he would have to unlock the prison cells on the second floor.
And to unlock the second - floor prison cells, he needed to use points to buy the permission.
After reading all this, Fang Yi couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth... If he had known how important the points were, he definitely wouldn't have casually used them to buy ordinary lottery tickets before.
Moreover, he didn't expect that once his points exceeded ten thousand, the mall would be activated for an upgrade. He had actually obtained more than ten thousand points long ago, but he had used them all to buy lottery tickets.
If he had known this earlier, the mall would have been upgraded by now.
After learning the function of the black tower, Fang Yi tried to click on the second floor of the black tower. Immediately, the system popped up a prompt:
"Do you want to spend one hundred thousand points to unlock the second - floor prison?"
Looking at the huge amount of one hundred thousand points, Fang Yi almost swore out loud.
What does one hundred thousand points mean? Currently, he only gets one thousand points for finding one historical text. That means he has to find one hundred historical texts to have enough points to unlock the second - floor prison cells.
And this is just the second floor!
He had no idea how many floors this black tower had in total as the bottom was a bit blurry. Just from what he could see, there were six floors. Given the system's usual tricks, each floor would only cost more points. How many points would he need to unlock the last floor? Fang Yi didn't even want to think about it.
But then he thought, since his own bounty of eight million had increased his points by 800, it seemed that the points corresponding to the bounty were calculated in units of ten thousand!
Now he has three quotas to earn bounties. If he eliminates a criminal with a bounty of over ten million, he can get over a thousand points. Thinking about it this way, getting a hundred thousand points... doesn't seem that difficult.
All he needs to do is eliminate three guys with bounties... over three hundred million, and that'll be enough... That's nonsense!
Fang Yi's anger was beyond words. What era is this? It's different from the future when bounties of hundreds of millions were common. Currently, those with bounties over a hundred million are all true powerhouses on the sea.
Take Whitebeard (pirate), one of the future Four Emperors, for example!
After he founded his pirate crew, the official set his bounty just barely over a hundred million. Fang Yi had to kill three guys. Their bounties were three times higher than Whitebeard's, and only then could he unlock the second - level prison.
After realizing this, Fang Yi felt a bit desperate...
Or he could just keep these three quotas and wait until Luffy's era to use them. That would be the most cost - effective.
By then, his own strength would surely be very powerful, and the bounties of criminals would also be extremely high. For example, Marco, after becoming an Emperor's right - hand man, had a bounty of over a hundred million. Just one of him would be enough for Fang Yi to unlock the second - level prison.
