Garen ordered the accompanying crew to sail the ship toward the Royal Capital of Goa Kingdom, while he himself took Nami alone into the vast forest beyond Foosha Village.
The forest of Goa Kingdom was no ordinary forest. It was the most efficient, highest-quality beginner training ground in the pirate world.
Just naming the powerful figures who had leveled up on this map could frighten ninety-nine percent of the world:
Marine Hero Garp, Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo, Whitebeard Pirates Second Division Commander Ace, the future "Pirate King." Uh... the future "King of Navigation" Luffy.
If this forest could support the rise of such powerful people and temper them at the start of their journeys, how could it possibly be simple?
This vast forest possessed an ecosystem that would shatter every Earth ecologist's worldview:
It contained not only enormous tigers, lions, bears, and other giant mammals, but also giant pythons, giant insects, giant crocodiles, giant hawks, and all manner of creatures.
These powerful large wild animals lived together in dense clusters in an utterly unscientific manner, making this sprawling forest feel cramped and confined, and exceptionally dangerous.
But before a protagonist, this was simply the leveling map outside the beginner village.
Luffy and Ace had been able to move through it freely at such young ages, so Garen naturally had no reason to fear this forest full of wild experience points.
The only slight problem was that it was difficult to tell directions in the forest. But with Nami, who had memorized Goa Kingdom's terrain map and possessed all sorts of navigation skills, Garen naturally did not need to worry about getting lost.
