Today is sunny and windy, a good day to go out to sea.
Near the coast of the Twin Gorges, the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line, there is a huge pirate ship with a fox-headed prow moored.
"Coffee,offee,offee!! I finally came to the Grand Route!"
On the high slope of the Twin Gorge coast, stood a red-nosed man with a hairstyle similar to fox ears. He raised his arms and laughed loudly: "From here, I will start my best [davybackfight]! Just wait and see, I will
Defeat the strong men of the Grand Line one by one and subdue them, I will be invincible!!"
Dozens of his subordinates stood behind him, cheering and calling in unison: "Boss!! We love you!!"
'Silver Fox' Foxy turned around and moved his hands into hearts: "You... you! What a bunch of lovable bastards!!"
"Boss~~~~"
Just as Foxy and his men were moved and hugging each other and crying, the wooden door of the cabin not far away from them was pushed open.
"It's so noisy...can you go back to your ship and start making noise?"
An old bald man with a hairstyle like petals held a newspaper in his hand and walked impatiently outside the house to look at the noisy group of rural pirates. This man was the lighthouse keeper who had a pleasant chat with Victor and others half a year ago.
——Kulokas.
Foxy and his men looked at each other in confusion: "...here, is there a room here?"
It turned out to be a group of idiot pirates... Old Man Kurokas didn't even bother to talk to them, and turned around to return to the house.
"Hey! Old man, wait a minute!" Foxy stood up and shouted loudly.
Kurokas slowly turned his head to look at Foxy with a gloomy look: "...What? Do you still want me to buy you a cup of tea?"
"Such a shabby place, there's no good tea here!" I don't know whether it was because he was thick-skinned or because he really didn't understand Kurokas's sarcasm. Foxy put his hands on his hips and said arrogantly: "Your hands
Have you read the newspaper inside? I bought it, double the price."
"Boss~~~ You are so generous!" The subordinates were moved to tears again.
In fact, the Foxy Pirates have not received a newspaper for about a week because the newspaper delivery bird does not approach the waters near the entrance to the South China Sea.
The old man looked at Foxy like he was an idiot: "Are you stupid? I can't do without guarding these two lighthouses all year round. Why do you need money?"
"..."
Foxy and his men looked at the old man with pursed lips, feeling that the other party didn't play according to the routine at all.
In the end, a clever subordinate came up with the amazing suggestion of exchanging daily necessities for newspapers, and both Foxy and Old Man Koulokas readily agreed.
"One barrel of rum, two boxes of flour, three strips of dried bacon..."
The logistics staff of the Foxy Pirates were checking supplies with the old man Kurokas. Foxy had rented the old man's sun lounger and parasol and was lazily reading the newspaper with his legs crossed, mumbling something while reading.
.
"Moonlight Moria has started to enter the new world again? Humph... The rude people of the West Sea always like to be in the limelight..."
"Oh haha? Big star Vivian is planning to hold a concert in Nanhai next month? Damn it... I missed it! It will be too difficult to go back to Nanhai!"
"Have all the bounty hunters in the West Sea gathered together? What the hell? Cai Fei Fei... I understand. Are they aware of my reputation and intending to gather together to hunt for my head? A bunch of noobs!
"
"The leader of the three generals, Charlotte Katakuri, appears in 'Paradise'? My old enemy, are you so eager to fight me? Just wait, after I take care of the evil chain Victor
It’s your turn~”
Old Man Kurokas had sharp ears and heard Foxy muttering about the [Ominous Chain]. He turned to look at Foxy, raised his eyebrows and said: "You have a big ambition with your split-brained brain, but you actually put
Targeting Victor?"
Foxy sat upright from the sun lounger: "Oh? Listen to the tone, you, the stinky old man looking at the lighthouse, actually have a relationship with the King Shichibukai?"
Kurokas felt that the other party's IQ was really hopeless: "Anyone who comes to the Grand Route from the four outer seas must pass through the Twin Gorges. You don't even have this common sense, do you?"
Foxy became interested and ignored Kurokas's cynicism: "Oh? It seems that I need to understand the stepping stone for me to become the king of the world. What kind of person is Vicious Chain Victor? He is amazing.
?”
"It's not a matter of whether he is powerful or not." Kurokas waved his hand, then crossed his arms and recalled: "He is really that kind of... approachable, gentle and polite, and not a powerful person. He only goes to sea.
He has become so famous in just half a year, how scary his future must be..."
Foxy jumped down from the sun lounger and proudly smoothed out his split hairstyle: "It's decided, after I find him on the Grand Line, I will defeat him with [davybackfight] and accept him as deputy captain!"
"The Grand Line?" Kurokas pointed to the newspaper in Foxy's hand with a strange expression: "Did you miss the important content? The first page clearly states that Victor and his 'Coral' cadres are here
The East China Sea appears."
Foxy's expression froze.
"East, East China Sea?"
As a pirate, how should I go from the Grand Line to the East China Sea?
……………………
"There is no deviation from the course! Confirm again, there is no deviation from the course!"
"Report from the lookout area, arriving in the South China Sea in 8 minutes!"
"The power output of the left outer turbine has decreased by 4%. Please request the patrol team to troubleshoot the fault."
"Steam room number two is working fine!"
"The sail power system is ready to go online, countdown is 30 seconds, 29 seconds, 28 seconds..."
Far away in the windless sea area, the sea surface gradually became rippled.
The boatman team on the Ark of Passion, which had expanded to nearly 500 people, started working nervously. Under the command of the three main shipwrights, the Ark of Passion was methodically switched from the external turbine sailing mode to the sail-powered sailing mode.
On the ark, Victor, wearing a black velvet cloak, stood in the [viewing area] at the bow of the ship, looking at the sea in the distance.
"Victor, we are finally here." Robin stood behind Victor and said with emotion: "I never thought that one day it would be so easy to sail between the four open seas."
Victor smiled slightly and turned to look at Robin: "This is all thanks to the windless zone travel technology presented by Ark of Passion and the World Government. When we arrive in the South China Sea, you, the chief intelligence officer, will be busy."
Robin didn't speak, just smiled and nodded, but there was no hesitation or hesitation in her eyes.
At this time, a beautiful female voice came from the ship's public address system.
[The Ark will arrive in the South China Sea in 3 minutes, everyone please be prepared.]
