Perona quickly wiped away the non-existent sweat on her forehead.
Hera, who had selectively forgotten certain things, said, "Always calling you 'ship spirit' isn't going to work. How about I give you a name?"
Then she pondered, "Since you're the ship spirit of the argo, that means you're the soul of the argo. Let me think."
A flash of inspiration struck, and Hera said, "Then you'll be called Theseus."
The ship spirit nodded, "Theseus, huh? Although I don't know why you chose that name, it's acceptable."
Having witnessed Hera's poor naming skills before, the ship spirit quickly agreed. As long as it wasn't a strange name, it was fine.
Hera boarded the argo. After Hancock entrusted the country to her two younger sisters, she also boarded the ship, and the group set off for Sabaody Archipelago.
While looking at the list Garp sent and the newspaper delivered by the News Coo: "The Eleven Supernovas, huh? Kid and Killer were taken care of by me, and there are still eleven. Ginny still couldn't control Bonney, I see."
"But it's fine. I heard that Kuma will also come here. I'll ask for his opinion then and absorb the Toshi Toshi no Mi."
"Children should be playing happily at home. Becoming a Pirate has no future. I'm the one who needs to control the power of the Toshi Toshi no Mi."
Hera thought to herself, marking off names on the list: "Luffy, needless to say, will be left to Rayleigh. Hawkins, a Paramecia type, Straw-Straw Fruit, huh? Interesting. Keep him."
"Drake is an undercover agent, let him go. Law should also be let go. After all, he was saved by Sengoku's adopted son, so let him pass."
Then, looking at the list: "Apoo, a Paramecia type, Sound-Sound Fruit user. His ability is good. Anyway, two of the three people on Onigashima have been dealt with, so let's keep this one here too."
"Capone Bege, a Castle-Castle Fruit user and an underworld boss. He must be very rich. Let's take him to fill the Gold Emperor's underworld forces."
"'Mad Monk' Urouge, how did a Sky Island person end up here? I'll ask him then. If he hasn't done anything evil, just let him pass."
"And Zoro, let Kuina see if he has made any progress."
"Replacing those two are Sanji and Nojiko, huh? So four members of the Straw Hat will be on the list. Let Reiju and Nami test their strength."
Stretching, Hera closed the list. In a few words, she decided the fate and end of this group of Pirates, all with bounties over 100 million Berries.
"The only problem now is Rayleigh. I wonder if he'll let me do this."
"Never mind, I'll see then. Anyway, I can't let go of the Straw-Straw Fruit and the Sound-Sound Fruit. We'll talk about the others later."
Hera ended her dilemma, took out her reinforced fishing rod, and began fishing.
Hawkins, who was playing tarot cards on his Pirate ship, felt a chill. His intuition told him that something very dangerous might be waiting for him ahead.
So he looked up at the sky and began to predict using the constellations, calculating the fortune of this journey. However, after several calculations, the survival rate was very high, which made him dismiss his doubts.
Hera, who was fishing, seemed to sense something. The figure of ability flashed past behind her: "Oh, playing divination in front of me? And using star divination? Of course, you won't be able to calculate it."
The argo sailed towards Sabaody Archipelago at a not-too-fast speed.
On the other side, on the Straw Hat's ship, Nojiko waved to the News Coo in the sky and took the latest newspaper.
After reading the newspaper, she exclaimed, "Look, all our bounties have increased!"
Luffy, hearing about the bounty changes, grabbed the railing with his stretched arm and flew over: "Let me see, how much is my bounty now?"
The wanted poster in Nojiko's hand was bumped into the air by Luffy, who quickly extended his arm to grab the wanted poster from the sky.
"Three hundred million, huh? As expected of me!"
Hearing the commotion, the others also rushed over, all taking their wanted posters to look at them.
Zoro looked at his wanted poster and said, "'Pirate Hunter,' 150 million Berries, huh? Not bad."
Nojiko caught her wanted poster: "'Magnet Man,' 200 million Berries? Why is mine so high? Is it because of the former Magnet-Magnet Fruit user, Kid?"
Sanji looked at his wanted poster: "'Black Leg,' 100 million Berries." Zoro pointed at Sanji and said, "See? I have 50 million Berries more than you."
Infuriated, Sanji started arguing with Zoro: "What are you talking about, you damn swordsman? Losing to Nojiko is one thing, but how can I lose to you?"
Robin picked up her wanted poster: "80 million Berries, 'devil child.' My wanted poster has been reactivated, huh?"
Usopp held his wanted poster, his eyes tightly shut. Luffy's head poked over, looked at it, and said to Usopp, "You're 30 million Berries."
Usopp said exasperatedly, "Of course I know! You don't need to remind me, I'm 'Sogeking'!"
He turned his head away and silently shed tears: "Don't increase it anymore, it's so scary."
Chopper looked at his wanted poster, his eyes wide: "50 Berries? How is that possible?"
It clearly stated, "Pet of the Straw Hat Pirates, capture alive only, 50 Berries."
Zoro and Sanji stopped fighting and started mocking Chopper together.
Brook took the wanted poster, which read: "'Skeleton of Unknown Origin,' 80 million Berries."
Brook said, "It's been a long time since I had a bounty. I hope next time it'll say 'King of Music'!"
Franky, who had just joined, had no bounty. Having joined the Straw Hat Pirates in Water 7, he had not yet been targeted by the Marine.
Nojiko then continued to read the news, her expression becoming serious. She said to Luffy:
"Luffy, look, there are several other Pirates with bounties over 100 million Berries coming. We'll all eventually gather at Sabaody Archipelago."
Luffy looked at where Nojiko was pointing and, after thinking for a while, said, "Read it to me. I can't read very well."
Nojiko helplessly held her forehead and said, "It collectively refers to us Pirates with bounties over 100 million Berries as the Eleven Supernovas, and we're all sailing towards Sabaody Archipelago at the same time."
Luffy smiled and said, "How amazing! I really want to meet the other Pirate Crews."
Nojiko sighed. She knew she shouldn't have told Luffy this: "The Marine might make a move seeing so many Pirates gathered."
Luffy's eyes lit up: "Will Sister Hera come? I've heard legends of her on Sky Island and Thriller Bark."
