"By the way, why did you choose Ohara as our first stop?"
The ship was a complete mess.
After the two had traded sword strikes for over an hour, Mihawk had finally vented his anger.
Only after Austin snapped his fingers and restored everything to its original place did Mihawk remember to ask.
"The reason..."
Facing the refreshing sea breeze, Austin leaned against the side of the ship with both hands.
He gazed toward the other side of the sea. The black speck at the edge of his vision was rapidly growing larger at an outrageous speed.
"Of course, because if we don't go now, we won't get to see it anymore. When traveling, you've got to check in at the sights."
"Won't get to see it?" Mihawk did not understand.
The island was not going anywhere, so how could they possibly fail to see it?
At the speed of teleportation, it would not take them long at all to get from the Grand Line to Ohara.
The occasional pirates they encountered along the way who tried to rob the ship either could not keep up with the teleportation speed or had their ships split in half by Mihawk's blade.
As the ship drew closer and closer.
The Oro Jackson slowly docked beside a cliff rather than at a harbor, and Austin and Mihawk teleported onto this "Island of Knowledge."
"Just like the rumors said, that tree really is ridiculously huge!"
From afar, Austin could see the enormous tree in the center of the island, so vast it nearly blotted out the sky.
"They say it holds every book in the world. I wonder if it has that kind of book?"
"What?" Mihawk failed to understand and frowned at Austin.
"I mean... that kind. Never mind, forget I said anything."
