The setting changes to Baratie (Sanji)
Zeff: The Justice Island, Enies Lobby, is the gate to the World Government...once it's fallen, no matter if it's the marines or pirates, they won't sit idly by. Right now, the Strawhats are known around the world...like on these bounty posters.
Zeff laughs while looking at Sanji's bounty.
Patty and Carne: Sanji's the best! Wahahahaha!
Patty and Carne: Uh-huh, now all of our visitors will get a copy of the bounty poster of our former vice-head cook, as a present!
Patty and Carne: The 77 million beli "Blackleg Sanji" grew up here! At this sea restaurant "Baratie!"
The scene changes to Fuschia Town (Luffy)
Town folks: Lets party! The most famous person of East Blue! With a 300 million bounty! For our Luffy, cheers!
Chief: You're all so noisy! Learn to be shameful!
Town folks: Hey Chief!
Chief: What is that Garp doing!? Letting his grandson do stuff like this, all 3 generations of that family's got problems...does Dadan know about this?
Town folks: Cheers!
Chief: Shut up!
The scene changes to Syrup Village (Usopp)
Kaya is looking at the bounty.
Kaya: Sogeking...! It's true! No doubt about it! It's Usopp!
Tamanegi: That's right! It's the captain! This nose! (points to poster) The villager couldn't see it! But we knew you could, Kaya! Eh? Where did Kaya go!?
Kaya: I need to be more vigorous in my studies to become a doctor! I also want to be somebody someday...! This way, even is Usopp comes home wounded, I'll be able to make him good as new!
Tamanegi: ...captain is so awesome! But if he hurts Miss Kaya's feelings, we'll beat him up!
The stage changes to Shimosuki Village (Zoro)
Students: Master! Master! Pirate Hunter Zoro once trained here, is that true!?
Master: ...Ah, it's true, but don't become like that.
Students: Huh!? Why not!? It's so cool! Tell us about pirates!
Master thinking: The Enies Lobby incident was both puzzling and surprising to someone old like me...but Zoro, I don't think you had the slightest hesitation...no matter what kind of a man you become...as long as you follow the ways of a swordsman, that would be ideal...
Students: Agh Master, you're no fun.
The scene changes to Cocoyashi Village (Nami)
Villagers: Nojiko, this incident will make this island famous! That Nami...is really sexy now!
Nojiko: Ahahaha...geez. That's actually the proof of a criminal. Genzo, here's the tangerines.
Genzo: Eh, why did you bring me more, I told you I'll go buy them in the store!
Nojiko: Just take it, don't worry about it. You know that Nami and I always thought of you as a father. Anyway, what are you doing?
Genzo: I want to give the Marine Headquarters a call to protest this, but it won't connect!
Genzo is just putting up a blown up poster of the Nami bounty.
Genzo: This offensive bounty poster will spread all over the world! Compare to the bounty hunters, there will probably be more suitors, that's scandalous!
Nojiko: But you seem to be very interested in the poster too. You even magnified it...hehe, but isn't this nice? Those people are complying with their promise with you...
(If you take away Nami's smile, I will kill you!)
Nojiko: That's pretty good proof that they kept the promise.
Genzo: ...! Huh, that's true! ...but them being pirates is another problem!
Nojiko: ...Then, a scary and evil poster is better?
Genzo: No way, that's even more scandalous!
Setting changes to Sakura Kingdom
Dr. Kureha: Heeheeheehee!
Citizens: Ah, it's Dr. Kureha! She's coming down from the castle! Wahhhh!
Dr. Kureha: Ye happy! Kids!
Citizens: She's riding on a lapan today! That's insane, don't get near them!
Dr. Kureha: Dalton! What is it, get the person here, I'm busy!
Dalton: Ah, sorry, Dr. Kureha, I wanted you to check up this.
Citizens: Dr. Kureha! You're being so rude to the king!
Dr. Kureha: What was that? The secret of my youth?
Citizens: No, we didn't ask that!
Dr. Kureha: I say Dalton, can't you live like a king and move into the castle? I can rent you a room.
Dalton: Nah, I like living down here in the village and eating a regular meal.
Dalton gives the bounties to Dr. Kureha
Dr. Kureha: ...Hehe, those Strawhat idiots...
Dalton: The bounties from that incident came yesterday...
Dr. Kureha: Chopper...
Dalton: I think that number is some sort of mistake.
Dr. Kureha: Heeheehee, as long as I see his face, it's better than anything else...isn't that right? Compared to the rest, that's the best news.
Scene changes to an island called Paldego
Soldier: On the South Blue island of Saint Reia, the revolutionary army was successful.
Soldier: ...another country was destroyed...
Soldier: Good job! A few days ago in the North Blue...
??: What's so joyous about one victory, this is a war!
Looks at the bounty
??: ...This is?
Soldier: That's Strawhat Luffy. The one who took town Crocodile on Alabasta, after the Enies Lobby incident...those pirates became a group in which the World Government could no longer sit idly by. As a whole, they're worth 667 million...and 50 beli. No matter what, the captain is the Marine Garp's...uh, where are you going sir?
??: The wind is blowing this way...
Dragon: Live the way you want, Luffy...occasionally, the times...will contain accidents that enthusiastically question the true nature of this world! The day we meet will come...
Backup 3 days, Banaro Island
Blackbeard: Heh...Commander...Ace...!
Ace: Shutup...calling me a commander now...that's something only someone who respects others should say.
Lafitte: ...Ah, you are...Fire Fist Ace.
Ace: Uhhuh, that's right, greetings...You've...also became a pirate captain...? Blackbeard Pirates, Captain Marshall D. Teach.
Blackbeard: Zehahaha...what, Ace, long time no see! What's going on!? How did you know we're here?
Ace: Teach, cut the pleasantries, one who has lived as long as you, should understand the gravity of the situation.
Blackbeard: ...Uh, but of course. Then...let me say something, Ace! Don't you...! Want to join my crew? Conquer the world together with me! I've already planned exactly how to do it in one step! The age of Whitebeard has already ended! I'm the one who will become the Pirate King! The first thing that we need to do...is to finish off Strawhat Luffy on the nearby Water 7, then give him as a present to the World Government.
Ace: ...Luffy? What!?
Blackbeard: Huh!? You know him?
Ace: ...The I'm really going to stop you here, that guy's my little brother!
Blackbeard: !!?
Ace: And another thing, about joining you...
Gunshots
Ace: That's also a no (gets hit, no damage)...hmm...you have a disrespectful group here.
Ace points at Auger
Ace: Fire Gun! (Ace shoots fire like a machine gun, Auger jumps aside. At this time, Burgess throws a house at Ace)
Ace: Flame Lump! Fire Pillar! (Ace burns the house)
Blackbeard: Dammit! Auger! Burgess! Don't attack on your own! You're not on the level of that man! Move back!
Auger and Burgess: ...Sorry.
Ace: Fire Fist!
Blackbeard: !?
A burnt Blackbeard
Kaboom! A big explosion
Blackbeard Pirates: Awwaaaaahhh! Arghhhh!
Blackbeard: Ahhh!
Burgess: Captain!
Lafitte: Captain!
A burnt Blackbeard
Blackbeard: D-Dammit, you guys stay back! Zehaha, damn, haha, I understand, Ace, you really want to kill me, right? Of course...killing a crewmate is a high offense. Fourth division Commander Sachi was killed by me afterall...
Ace: ...
Blackbeard: But it couldn't be helped...that guy found the devil's fruit that I was looking for. The rule on that ship was, whoever finds one, could eat it. I'd already remembered all the images of the different fruit types, that's why I knew right away that that fruit was the one I dreamed about. The reason that I stayed for decades on Whitebeard's ship, was because there I had the highest chance of running into this fruit. Without any luck, I was about to give up, who'd thought that it would end up in the hands of a crewmate...!
Ace: That's why you killed Sachi and stole the fruit.
Blackbeard: It was fate, the fruit chose me, Ace, Zehahaha! This way I'll become the strongest, Ace!
Blackbeard's wrist becomes dark
Blackbeard: Look...even in logia, this is a unique type...!
A black pillar rises
Blackbeard: Ace! You're body's...fire, right?
Ace: ... (is surprised)
Blackbeard: Zehahahaha! I! Am darkness!
? kannst mich ruhig n bissel zuspoilern
