The news about Luffy didn't stop, and more parts of the East Blue woke up in recent days to them. In Cocoyasi village, the news of Luffy and his crew's feats caused a significant stir among the villagers, especially in the mayor's office, which was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Genzo stood, holding the latest editions of the newspapers, his hands trembling with the revelation of the new bounties - now Nami wasn't the only one, Nojiko had earned her own bounty.
"50 million for Nami and now 40 million for Nojiko? This boy is going crazy! He better take good care of them!" he yelled, his voice echoing through the walls of the office.
The news quickly spread through the streets of Cocoyasi, with villagers gathering in small groups to discuss the matter. Many shared the shock and concern of the mayor, but there was a subliminal sense of pride. Despite being considered dangerous criminals by the rest of the world, this village had only improved since the arrival of these pirates.
Cocoyasi was transforming, partly thanks to Luffy's planning. With the billion berries obtained from the navy, people had invested in the village and the new city. New buildings were being constructed, and the port, once an area destroyed by the fight between Luffy and Nami, was turning into a breathtaking city and structure. Merchants from faraway places began to visit, attracted by the stories of a small village becoming an important spot on the map.
"These kids... they cause nothing but trouble. But those are our girls... Luffy, you are a pirate, a criminal in the eyes of the world, but please, protect them," the mayor murmured to himself, looking towards the horizon where the sea met the sky.

In the quiet Syrup Village, which was slowly transforming into a prosperous town thanks to financial aid from the Goa Kingdom and contributions from Caya herself, the news of Usopp's new bounty caused considerable stir. The streets were busier than usual, with residents commenting on the latest development involving the local "hero."
Caya, walking through the town accompanied by her butler, Merry, discussed the recent news as they headed towards the clinic she had made, as her dream was to be a doctor.
"25 million berries, Miss Caya... It seems Mr. Usopp is becoming quite famous," the butler commented, holding an edition of the newspaper that highlighted Usopp's bounty.
Caya sighed, a mix of worry and pride on her face. "Yes, I saw. Usopp always dreamed of being a brave warrior of the seas. It seems he's achieving his dream." She looked at Usopp's picture in the newspaper, a nostalgic expression on her face.
"They call him 'The deadly weapon of the Straw Hats' now," continued the butler, "They say his precision and skills are unmatched. He's truly become someone extraordinary."
Caya smiled faintly. "Yes, I hope he's safe and happy while following his dream."
As they walked through the streets, it was evident that Syrup Village was thriving. New constructions were underway, and the local economy was more robust, diversifying what was once the island's only business - boat building from Caya's family. Now with merchants and travelers visiting more frequently, the place seemed much happier.
"Miss Caya, I believe Mr. Usopp is following his dream as best he can. He always wanted to be recognized as a brave warrior. Now, the whole world knows his name," said the butler with a smile.
Caya nodded, looking around at the growing town. "Yes, you're right. Usopp is living the adventure he always wanted. I can't fall behind either; I will follow my own ambitions."
The village didn't lag behind. Despite Usopp always having a bad reputation among the villagers, seeing him in the newspaper as a powerful sharpshooter worth 25 million was something everyone cheerfully talked about and said they "always expected this from the boy, that he had a future."

At the famous floating restaurant Baratie, known for attracting a diverse crowd from sailors to pirates, the chefs were more excited than usual. The vibrant and joyful energy filled the kitchen as they prepared exotic and delicious dishes. The reason for such effervescence was not a new dish or a famous client but rather the recent news about a regular at the restaurant: Reiju.
"Have you seen this? Reiju now has a bounty of 80 million berries!" exclaimed one of the chefs, holding a newspaper featuring Reiju's image.
"I knew that girl would go far!" commented another, skillfully chopping vegetables.
"Hahahahaha. Our Reiju becoming so famous! I'm so proud!" Patty started to cry.
Chef Zeff looked at the newspaper with bright eyes. "She always had an adventurous spirit. Seems like she's found companions who share the same," Zeff remarked, a paternal and subtle smile appearing on his stern face.

Back in Loguetown, a couple of merchants were particularly happy while reading the latest news about Monkey D. Luffy's feats. They were in one of their stores, which had started to become a chain of branches throughout the city, selling a variety of goods, from basic foodstuffs to small maritime artifacts.
"Jurnegon rȳ bisa, jorrāelagon! luffy iksis causing iā rōva ruckus isse se vys arlī!" said the woman, holding the newspaper discussing the pirate's latest feats.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
Her husband glanced over the counter where he was organizing some items. "That kid really doesn't know how to stay quiet, does he? But somehow, this doesn't surprise me. He always causes a stir, wherever he goes."

Somewhere at the entrance of the Grand Line, the infamous clown pirate Buggy was aboard his ship, surrounded by his colorful and disorganized crew. He held a crumpled newspaper in one hand and a map in the other, his expression a volatile mix of anger and determination.
...
In the streets of an island in the Grand Line, the news of Luffy and his deeds caused a frenzy. In a crowded market, vendors seized the opportunity to sell Straw Hat-themed merchandise. "Get your Straw Hat here, just like the future Pirate King!" yelled a street vendor, as a crowd gathered around his stall.
...
...
In a Marine HQ facility, officers gathered in a meeting room, the tension palpable. "How did we let this happen right under our noses?" questioned a vice admiral, his expression serious. "He's just a rookie, but he's making the World Government look like a fool!" added another, his face red with anger.
...
...
On an unknown island, a group of veteran pirates raised glasses in a toast. "To Luffy!" they shouted, the drink foaming and overflowing. "He may be a rookie, but he's already causing more trouble than many of us combined!" laughed the captain, his gaze wild and joyous.
...
...
Across the world, from small villages to large cities, in taverns, markets, Marine bases, and lonely ships on the vast sea, the news about Luffy and his Straw Hat crew spread like wildfire, stirring fear, admiration, discussions, and dreams. The world was watching, and everyone wondered the same thing: what would this young pirate do next?
But of course, it wasn't just iconic people and ordinary citizens; now all the most powerful figures in the world had their newspaper in front of them, looking attentively at the headline with interest.
