Chapter 87: New Bounties
"What!?" Jewelry Bonney was shocked that Mark actually knew her identity, she took a step backward as she made a sign with her hands to activate her powers. She wanted to turn every single person sitting around the table to three-year-old kids!
But Mark already knew about her abilities as he activated his nullifying powers and stopped her devil fruit abilities from taking action.
"Huh, what happened to my devil fruit powers?" Jewelry Bonney was terrified as she found herself unable to use her devil fruit abilities which she relied heavily on upon.
The Z pirate commanders were surprised when they saw Mark activate his nullifying abilities out of the blue.
"How did you sneak into our ranks?" Mark calmly questioned Jewelry Bonney as he leaned back on his chair.
"It was quite easy, you guys don't care about security checks at all," Bonney answered with a frown on her face, she knew Mark had the upper hand as she couldn't use powers.
While Mark and Bonney were discussing a figure managed to sneak away.
Issho calmy turned his head in the direction of Alice as he saw her slipping away.
"Well, some new changes have to be made then," Mark said with a smile on his face, it was actually a good thing for Bonney to point out this major flaw in his fleet. Now he finally knew what changes had to happen to become more of a stabilize fleet.
After talking with Bonney for a while Mark managed to find out why Blackbeard considered her his trump card. This was because of her ability to change someone's age! You could call this devil fruit some kind of an immortality ability.
Jewelry Bonney was allowed to sit around the table with the rest of the crew as Mark wanted to question her some more, he did it in a friendly manner which Bonney found quite refreshing.
She was used to people interrogating her in a forceful manner which often ended in dispute between two parties.
"Huh, where did Alice go?" Mark looked around to see if he could spot Alice somewhere, but she was nowhere to found.
Jumbo Jim finally woke up as he sat down on the ground and touched his growling belly in frustration, he seemed hungry after waking up.
"Jumbo Jim, come and eat." Satyr jr made a sign with his hand as he motioned for Jumbo Jim to put food in his mouth.
Jumbo Jim walked over to the table but he couldn't fit the chair as he just sat down on the ground and waited for the food to be brought over to him.
"Give the man something to eat." Capone Bege said towards Fabien with commanding and grin smile on his face.
"Why me?" Fabien began to hate Capone Bege as he always seemed to put him in a difficult situation.
"Would you rather prefer our captain did it instead?" Capone Bege pulled Mark into the matter as Fabien got spooked and jumped up from his chair and placed some food in front of Jumbo Jim.
"Captain! Captain! You're in the news!" A Z pirate team leader could be seen running over with a newspaper in his hand.
Mark Z. Matheus killing Blackbeard! The fourth emperor of the sea has emerged!
This was the cover text of the front page as a following new bounty list could be seen right under it, featuring the entire Z pirate commanders.

-------------------------------
"Since when was this giant a part of our crew?" Capone Bege was surprised as he read Jumbo Jim's name on the list.
"Well, we did offend the marines for him." Issho calmy responded to Capone Bege's question.
"That's true, but still?" Capone Bege wasn't convinced by Issho's words.
"Wanna join our crew, Jumbo Jim"
Mark looked at Jumbo Jim as he asked him to join them.
"Jumbo Jim join and fight!" Jumbo Jim responded as he stared at Capone Capone Bege unfriendly.
"Wait, why does it say Alice is only wanted alive?" Satyr jr said curiously as he read the newspaper.
"Where is Alice? She has been gone for a while now." Mark asked as he looked around for Alice again. Something seemed off about her but Mark couldn't really put his finger on what it was.
"Alice?" Jewelry Bonney thought as she recalled a past event in her life that occurred many years ago.
"I will go look for her." Flint slowly said as he got up from his chair and went towards the Z pirate camp to look for her.
"Let me join you!" Fabien quickly added as he also got up from his chair and followed Flint.
Flint's face changed as he hurried his steps towards the Z pirate camp.
Mark continued reading the newspaper as his eyes suddenly saw something interesting, in the far corner of the last page a text could be seen.
Richard D. Worley and the revenge pirates destroy the crabs' pirates and chase them out of Moon Island.
Richard D. Worley Bounty 30 million berries! Wanted Alive Or Dead!
"Hahaha!" Mark couldn't help but laugh after seeing this particular article.
"Why are you laughing so happily?" Yuri asked curiously and sweetly as she placed her arms around his neck and looked over the newspaper.
"Richard D. Worley? Do you know him?" Yuri asked with curiosity.
"Yeah, I met him when I disappeared from the ship before we were about to reach Marineford." Mark calmly answered as he told Yuri the truth about the whole matter.
"Why would you suddenly be interested in this boy?" Yuri didn't expect Mark to actually help this little boy, he was usually cold towards outsiders and only treated his friends warmly.
"Perhaps, I want a son," Mark said as he scanned Yuri's body from head to toe with a burning and lustful gaze.
Yuri was surprised and shocked by Mark's gaze as she heard his words.
"Ok... We can try if you want."
Yuri looked down on the table as she quietly said while squeezing Marks hand tightly. She seemed to have found some courage as she agreed to Mark's words.
Mark was surprised as he looked at Yuri's small flustered face.
"Haha!" Mark couldn't help but laugh. He was obviously just teasing her but she actually agreed which took Mark by a surprise.
"You not allowed to bully me!" Yuri finally managed to understand Mark's teasing as her face turned completely red with embarrassment and anger.
