Using the Eternal Pose she had on hand, Susanna mapped out their approximate route. Their next stop was White Sand Island. Only after buying an Eternal Pose to Sun Moon Island there could they truly determine their precise route; otherwise, if they had to purchase another Eternal Pose, the route would naturally have to change.
White Sand Island was not rich in resources, but its scenery was beautiful. Thick, towering coconut trees covered the island, and pristine, fine white beaches surrounded it. It was an excellent place for sightseeing and vacations.
However, the New World's climate and seas were far too dangerous. Of course, people were the most dangerous of all. So for an island in the New World to develop through tourism was extremely difficult. At the very least, it needed the protection of a second-tier pirate crew. Otherwise, it would be a juicy target waiting for Pirates to harvest.
In the first half of the New World, there were almost no second-tier pirate crews. The pirate crew protecting White Sand Island was only third-tier, and its influence was far too limited. As a result, this island suited for tourism had never developed, and it was far from prosperous.
One island, one world; one island, one civilization. That was the true state of the One Piece world. Sometimes, two neighboring islands could be utterly different—one filled with skyscrapers, the other still living in a primitive society of slash-and-burn farming.
The Divine Eye Pirates' journey to White Sand Island went fairly smoothly. They encountered no major trouble, only a small storm and a pirate ship.
They avoided the small storm, while the pirate ship had spotted the massive Underworld Moon from afar and kept its distance.
