Shoujou’s Bounty at 36,000,000 Berries

Same Saruyama Alliance, same island of Jaya, same adoptive father — Mont Blanc Cricket — but a different title: Shoujou commands his own men, the Shoujou Pirates, and runs underwater reconnaissance, crude sonar work included, which earns him the nickname Sonar King, set against the Salvage King title his brother Masira carries. The two brothers joined Cricket neither for profit nor by contract, but as childhood admirers of the same storybook about the vanished navigator Noland whom Cricket has spent his life trying to vindicate.

The duo's first meeting with the Straw Hats is anything but friendly: after Masira gets chased off the Going Merry, Shoujou himself blocks the ship's path and demands a toll, then attacks outright once he learns Luffy defeated his brother, guarding the waters around Cricket's house as territory the Alliance considers its own for salvage purposes. The reconciliation comes from the same source as Masira's: the whole Alliance later mobilizes to prepare the ship for the Knock Up Stream toward Skypiea.

Tall, with an orangutan-like build, long green hair, and a captain's coat bearing his own Jolly Roger, Shoujou keeps, like his brother, a visible mark of independent command, even though Cricket remains the group's overall authority. Thirty-six million berries, thirteen million more than Masira, for a captain whose only documented clash with a Straw Hat is settled without a single decisive blow ever shown on the page.
