Jingle!

As the bell rang, several guests in the bar turned their heads toward the door. They saw a man leading three stunning women and another woman whose voluptuous figure couldn't be hidden even beneath a windbreaker.

Immediately, a lustful drunk stood up from his seat and walked toward the group who had just entered.

"It's Lawrence, the drunkard. That guy is unlucky" one patron whispered.

"Yeah, this Lawrence is pretty strong. His bounty is 30 million Berries. That skinny man with those women will probably regret bringing his female companions here," another added.

"Who wouldn't agree? Lawrence has skills, but he just can't control himself whenever he sees beautiful women. Otherwise, I might've even invited him to be my partner."

People around the bar started talking, watching Lawrence and the newcomers with expressions that suggested they were anticipating a good show.

"What disgusting comments," the orange-haired woman frowned slightly as she watched the drunk man approaching. She quietly placed her hand on the sword at her waist.

The speaker was none other than Nami. Next to her were Ikki and Nico Robin.

"This place is basically a small version of the criminal underworld. Meeting people like him is unavoidable," Robin commented. "What should we do, Ikki?"

"Well, when someone calls out to you, what else can you do but respond?" Ikki smiled and walked straight to the bar counter.

"Hey, boy, the women behind you are pretty," Lawrence put a hand on Ikki's shoulder. "I've taken a liking to them, so hand them over to... ugh!"

Lawrence suddenly saw a sharp slash across his arm. In an instant, blood gushed out. When he came to his senses, he immediately clutched his wounded arm and kept backing away, howling in pain.

"Water Breathing, First Form: Surface Slash!" Nojiko quickly swung her sword, creating a stream of water that swept away the blood spraying from Lawrence's arm, preventing it from splashing onto Ikki's clothes.

"Really, Nami, that wasn't necessary," Nojiko shook her head and looked helplessly at Nami, who had just sliced off Lawrence's arm. "If you get the captain's clothes dirty, he'll just use it as another excuse to tease you."

"Uh, sorry, it just happened accidentally," Nami knocked her head with her left hand and looked apologetically at Ikki. "They just said this guy's head is worth 30 million Berries. Should we capture him and turn him in to the Marines for the bounty?"

As she spoke, Nami pointed her sword at Lawrence, who had fallen to the ground in front of them.

By now, Lawrence had lost all of his previous arrogance. Nami's slash and Nojiko's Water Breathing technique had made him realize that Ikki's group wasn't to be messed with. If they weren't all focusing on him right now, he would have already fled from the bar.

"Forget it, we have to go to Sky Island later, also it will be a unnecessary burden for us."

Ikki shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Lawrence immediately showed an excited expression, thinking that he could still be alive.

However, before he could feel any relief, Ikki's next words made his eyes widen.

"Nami, just kill this guy," Ikki said calmly. "We don't need to carry his body with us. We can use the camera Gion left us to take pictures of him dead. Before Gion and the others left, she promised me that for wanted criminals I kill in the future, clear photos would be enough. The bounty for a dead criminal will be reduced, but it's better than having to carry around a body or head."

After Ikki finished speaking, Vivi instinctively took out the camera from her waist.

Nami, who had already experienced killing before, naturally drew her sword and stepped forward. Before Lawrence even had time to beg for mercy, Nami's quick slash had pierced his heart.

"Did you see that? Lawrence, with his 30 million Berry bounty, died just like that?" a patron gasped.

"That orange-haired woman is incredibly strong. Where did she come from?" another wondered.

"The woman with short blue hair looks powerful too. These people are monsters that appeared out of nowhere. And that black-haired man they call captain—he must be the strongest."

Lawrence's death caused quite a stir among the bar's patrons. By now, almost everyone was looking at Ikki's group with dramatically changed expressions.

Ikki's eyes swept across the first floor of the bar, and soon his gaze locked onto a table near the counter.

'Blackbeard Teach, Burgess the Champion, Van Augur the marksman, and Doc Q the ship's doctor. These guys are here!' Ikki narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn't expected to find Bellamy in this bar, let alone members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Noticing Ikki's gaze, Blackbeard gave him a wide smile, as if saying hello.

"Hmph, so you defeated Lawrence. Big deal," an arrogant voice came from the second floor of the bar. "In the end, he was just a man with ridiculous dreams. Sky Island? Haha! You clearly have decent strength, but you're chasing something so imaginary?"

Ikki looked up and saw that the speaker was Bellamy, the user of the Spring-Spring Fruit.

"Oh, he's on the second floor. Pirate Bellamy with a bounty of 55 million Berries," Ikki smirked and turned to look at Nami beside him.

When he spotted Blackbeard, Ikki had briefly considered dealing with him, using the Dark-Dark Fruit to help solve Nami's Zanpakutō spirit issue. But now that Bellamy—a Devil Fruit user who would be easier to handle—had appeared, Ikki naturally changed his target.

"What, are you looking for me?" Bellamy jumped from the second floor and landed in front of Ikki. "Are you after my 55 million Berry bounty? If you think I'm a loser like Lawrence, you're completely wrong."

Bellamy looked at Ikki and the women beside him with a ferocious smile. "Let me finish what Lawrence couldn't. Those women behind you look pretty good to me, hahaha!"
