51. The D family

"How is this possible? That idiot Captain and this guy has a bounty of 120 million. Even Arlong doesn't have such a bounty." Nami was stupefied and didn't know what to make of it. Arlong's bounty was a measly 20 million bellies and this was a difference of 100 million bellies.

Zoro and Luffy finally understood that Luffy had read wrong before and now he was jumping in joy.

"Yoho...120 million.... Hahahaha... The Navy does treat people well."

"Luffy... Shut up.. Now more navy will come after us... I am scared... Maybe I shouldn't have boarded this ship.... Luffy I think I have got the 'I can't stay in the ship for long' disease.. Please drop me off on an island." Usopp said.

Zoro just smiled at it and went back to his workout. It was Ken who didn't have a good face.

"Ken, don't you have a bounty? Let me see." Luffy came and took the bounty poster from Ken only to see that Ken had the same bounty as Luffy. Nami and others also ran to see if Luffy's words were true.

Nami had expected this. If Luffy's bounty was so high then this guy who could summon lightning by manipulating weather was definitely in the same league as the Captain. It was just that she had never heard of a pirate crew which had two bounties of the same amount and one of them was the Captain.

Their pirate crew was really unique.

"Yo.. It's the same as me.. hahahah... we brothers are just perfect.... hahahah." Luffy laughed. Usopp's legs were trembling. He couldn't understand why these two members had such a high bounty. They didn't do anything that would warrant such high attention.

"You don't seem to be happy?" Zoro asked as he saw Ken still spacing out seeing the bounty.

Nami and others started thinking of who Garp was and then it finally struck them. The Marine Hero Garp!!! They had heard so much of this person of how powerful this person was. Garp was famous all over the world and almost everyone had heard of him. Of course, the government had made sure that everyone knew about as he was the pride of the navy.

"You.. You both are the grandsons of Garp... How? You both are pirates.. He is such a great marine hero. How could you become a pirate?" Nami was bamboozled by how their grandsons became pirates.

"It doesn't matter. I never wanted to join the Navy and I wanted to be free." Luffy didn't answer more and walked away. He didn't want to speak about his grandpa nor was Ken ready to speak more.

All the crew got to know that they had escaped from the hands of Garp while leaving their village and for this reason, their bounties were high as Garp might have felt that the duo were too powerful.

"Punisher? Same universe.. Wrong name." Ken thought as he saw the nickname in the bounty. Luffy had the title of Straw Hat as it was expected. Ken didn't understand on what basis his nickname was given as Punisher, but hey he didn't protest.

Punisher suits well on him. Somewhere in the multiverse, Frank Castle sneezed!!

With this small incident the ship sailed for two more days but one day they finally came across the pirate hunter duo. Yosaku and Johnny.

The friends of Zoro. Ken had already spoken of the food problem after leaving the Syrup village and they were going to the Baratie Restaurant anyways. It;s just Ken didn't expect that even after course correction, they would come across this duo.

Yosaku was ill and had to be given oranges and other citrus fruits to make him well. Luffy and Nami were more convinced that they needed a cook among the crew. After another day at the sea, they finally got to the huge Restaurant that was floating in the ocean. The restaurant had the design of a fish and it was unique in it's own way.

But before they could reach the Baratie Restaurant, a party pooper had arrived.

The Marine Lieutenant Iron- Fist Fullbody.
