( Achilles' Pov )

It's been about a whole week since Bullet joined my crew, the Spade Pirates. Not real creative I know but I couldn't think of anything. So I just want with my last name for the crew's name. As for what name Ace would choose in the future, I couldn't really care about it. Maybe he can choose the flame pirates or whatever else he comes up with because the Spade Pirates are now officially trademarked.

With us having nothing to do, me and Bullet are just sitting around and playing some card game on the Voyager's deck. Not having a phone and the internet is tough for but I been managing for the last 15 years so Im kinda used to not having them now.

" Achilles, do you have any spare Berrys?" Bullet asked me pointing towards the sky where we could see a bunch of News Coo going towards different locations.

" Yeah, call one. I wanna see if there's anything about us on the news." I said taking out a ฿5 coin.

One of the news coo saw Bullet waving at them for a newspaper and flew towards us and handed us the newspaper before asking for money. Bullet dropped the coin in its little bag and once he did, it flew away towards other islands.

' Huh, that's pretty cool. I wonder who trains News Coo.'

" Anything interesting? Are we in the newspaper?" I asked Bullet who was reading the newspaper. I didn't really feel like reading so I just gave the newspaper to Bullet so he can read it.

" Yeah, we are now famous pirates." Bullet said to me excited before handing over the newspaper to me. I opened the newspaper and on the second page were our bounty posters. Both posters fell to the ground since I wasn't paying attention.

" So those are our first bounties," I said picking them up and looking at them.

" Congrats, your a man now officially worth 20,000,00," Bullet said smirking after looking at my bounty poster.

" You aren't so bad yourself. But that's what I expect from my first mate. " I said to him showing him, his very own bounty poster. With a bounty of 13,250,00. He even has a cool epithet unlike me. Douglas Bullet, The Iron Giant.

" Man you even have a cool epithet. I better get one soon." I said sulking a little at the disrespect being thrown at me by the Marines.

" Not so bad he says, you do realize I'm less than 7 million away from you?" Douglas snorted.

" And besides you probably get one seen with your next bounty update. You barely fought anyone and you don't have a devil fruit either. So they probably had nothing to call you by." Bullet said to me trying to comfort me in his own way about me not getting an epithet.

I can't lie in the week we had been together our bond had grown a lot. It was almost like Luffy and Zoro when they first met.

" Wait! That's still a whole 7 million away my friend. And besides, if there comes a day when your bounty surpasses mine, I'll pay you the amount your's surpasses mine by." I said back to him almost forgetting the little jab at me.

" Ya whatever. Anyway, let's see what they said about us in the newspaper."

The newspaper read "Pirates are rising. In the past few months, the world has seen an increase in the number of pirates there are out at sea. Pirates have always been dangerous but these two newcomers have proven even more so.

" Two new pirates have risen in the North Blue. These two pirates are Douglas Bullet and Achilles. Achilles is rumored to be the captain of their little crew and Douglas Bullet is rumored to be the first mate.

" For more context, Douglas Bullet is an ex-member of Galzburg, the military nation. He is being given a bounty due to his role in the fall of the Galzburg military. Additionally Achilles was also seen and credited with killing the last 20 members of their war effort.

" Also prior to this, he was a semi-notorious bounty hunter, credited for bringing down many crews by himself. It seems at this point the only thing he hasn't dabbled in is being a Marine. If that's due to his lack of Justice or because of the fact he enjoys pillaging for fun still remains unknown."

" Heh, what bastards, you haven't even done anything bad, and they're already spewing their anti-piracy bullshit."

" Ya, I'm not really that surprised though, they are under the World Government's authority so them showing their bias isn't really that surprising."

' And I have already been prepared for this."

"Too true, the World Government really does have a monopoly on the entire world."

" Seems like the World Government won't even spare me, a half Celestial Dragon." I said to Bullet dropping the bombshell. Although I didn't care too much since Bullet was someone I trusted. And the man is gonna my right hand so he has to at least know this.

" Hold on you can't just say that and just walk away," Bullet said as I walked inside to the kitchen.

I didn't realize it at the time, but this was the start of our legend that will change the destiny of this world.

( Chiron's Pov )

" Dear, look at this," I said to Moro, showing her the wanted posters of Achilles and his first mate. She looked at the newspaper with a smile on her face.

"It's a bit low for our son but I'm sure he will even surpass your bounty one day in the future," Moro said, although a bit harsh but that's only because he's her son. We expect nothing but the best from Achilles.

" Haha, of course, but it looks like Achilles finally grew his wings," I said to Moro with a smile on my face. We knew Achilles couldn't stay on this island forever, he was far too ambitious for that. But I can just remember when he was born.

" By the way, do you know anything about this Douglas Bullet?" Moro asked, looking at the poster of Bullet.

" Apparently he's a former soldier of Galzburg, and he betrayed his country to join our son's crew. I hope Achilles knows what's he doing when recruiting his crew." I said to Moro, remembering what I read in the newspaper.

As Chiron and Moro continued their talk about their son, a huge storm was forming in the North Blue by the actions of bounty hunters.

Some Random Island In The North Blue

" Boys, look at this."

" Uauauaua, when did it become so easy for kids to get such large bounties?"

" I heard that Achilles kid was a strong bounty hunter before he became a pirate hunter."

" So what? He's still a brat at the end of the day. Prepare the ships, we are about to go after the kid. We can't let anyone else take their bounties."

The same type of conversations could be heard all around bounty hunter islands in the North Blue. As everyone wanted a piece of the two kids' bounties before anyone else could. After all, those two combined are worth more than 30 million berrys. Enough money for anyone to have to never work for another day of their lives.
