Drake

The most noticeable change I experienced after entering the North Blue was that the climate and ocean currents became more stable.

The sky may be clear one moment and then pour down rain the next, and then suddenly snow is falling heavily.

The seawater will no longer change direction erratically. Just a moment ago it was moving straight ahead, but if you're not careful, its direction of travel will suddenly change.

The sailing conditions were like going from hell to heaven.

However, there are also inconveniences.

When sailing in the New World, all you need is a Eternal Pose; just follow the direction it points.

However, at Four Blues, the magnetic field has returned to normal, so neither Eternal Pose nor Log Pose are of any use. The only way to indicate direction is with a proper compass and nautical chart.

In some ways, it may be a greater test of a navigator's abilities.

Of course, the navigators on board the Golden Flying Dragon were top-notch. They might not be as good as Nami, but they were definitely the best navigators you could find on the market.

Even if one hasn't been to the Four Blues for many years, sailing in the peaceful waters of the North Blue is not a difficult task.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that the port city of Spiders Cafe, where the Donquixote Family is located, is still quite a distance from the Calm Belt, and it would take at least half a month to sail there.

The problem isn't the sailing time; the problem is that the sailing time is too long, and some people are about to explode.

"I am bored!!"

Yamato sat unhappily on the gunwale, her screams even scaring away the seagulls flying overhead.

Ian was not surprised at all. In fact, Ian already felt that Yamato had made progress Yamato only starting to complain about being bored after sailing at sea for almost half a month.

"Ian! Think of something!"

The next moment, the white-haired girl pounced on Ian, grabbing his hand and pleading, "I'm so bored!"

Ian, who was sitting in the shadow cast by the cabin and flipping through a book, reached out and pinched the girl's face.

As the girl grew up, her face lost some of the plumpness she had as a child, and it no longer felt as bouncy to the touch. However, probably due to her Devil Fruit ability, it felt cool to the touch, and its texture remained as smooth as a baby's, without becoming rough from Teacher Kai's frequent beatings.

Overall, it's quite enjoyable to sculpt.

"If you can't even endure the loneliness at sea, then you shouldn't be a pirate."

Yamato wasn't annoyed by the pinched cheeks; instead, he reached out and pinched Ian's cheeks back, pulling his nose upwards to prevent him from breathing through his nose, mumbling, "But it's just so boring!"

"Um, Miss Yamato,"

At that moment, Babanuki suddenly interjected, "A pirate ship has been spotted in the waters ahead."

"Oh!"

Yamato immediately launched itself into the air, looking towards the sea ahead with immense joy.

Ian also stood up.

There really was a ship.

Although it's still too far away to see clearly, what's hanging on the mast is definitely a pirate flag.

Yes, there really are.

Honestly, the probability of encountering a pirate ship at sea is not much higher than finding money on the beach, even though there are countless small-time pirates and other rabble on the high seas.

"Haha! Finally, I can have some fun!"

Yamato cheered and jumped off the deck without hesitation.

As someone with special abilities, deliberately jumping into the sea would definitely make people wonder if there's something wrong with her brain.

Of course, Yamato isn't very bright, but he's not an idiot.

Before he could even crash to the sea, Yamato had already launched himself into the air, gracefully gliding through the air towards the distant pirate ship.

"Yamato still loves to play."

Black Maria smiled as she watched Yamato leave in a hurry.

I don't think she went there to have fun, although of course, having fun was indeed her purpose.

"I'll go check on them, you guys take your time."

Ian said.

While the North Blue may not have any particularly formidable figures, it doesn't mean that Yamato is invincible in this region.

What if?

Ian sprang into the air and used Geppo to chase after Yamato's retreating figure.

Drake is a pirate.

But he didn't want to be a pirate.

His original name should be Dys Drake.

However, he didn't like the surname.

He is seventeen years old this year, already a man, but he is still as thin and small as a child in his early teens.

Because there was always a mountain pressing down on him, preventing him from growing taller and growing up.

"Hey! Drake! What are you standing there for? Can't you see the deck is dirty? Hurry up and clean it up!"

On the deck of the pirate ship, a man sitting in a large chair yelled at Drake, who was huddled in a corner.

Drake remained silent, simply stood up, picked up the mop beside him, and began diligently cleaning the deck.

"Is this kid really your son, Captain?"

One of the pirates on deck, looking at the silent Drake, couldn't help but mock him, "Cowardly, soft-hearted, you haven't inherited any of your good qualities at all!"

Excellent quality?

Drake sneered inwardly.

"If he didn't look exactly like me when I was a kid, I'd start to doubt if this stupid son was even my own!"

Captain Diaz Barrels also looked exasperated. "He used to say he wanted to be my role model when he was a kid, but look at the mess he's made of now! I really wanted to spray him on the wall back then!"

The deck erupted in laughter at that remark.

However, Drake pursed his lips.

He still looks up to his father as a role model to this day.

However, she took her father, who was a naval lieutenant commander at the time, as her role model.

Drake never imagined that one day his most respected naval father would betray the Navy and become a ruthless pirate.

From that day on, Drake never grew taller; he remained forever frozen in that day.

"Haha, forget about that annoying brat!"

One of the pirates laughed loudly, "Captain, let's find a city and have some fun! The brothers haven't had their fill of excitement in ages!"

"Of course!"

Barrels didn't care at all, "I've been holding back for ages too!"

"Oh! Long live the captain!"

A cheer erupted from the deck.

Drake didn't say anything; he just gripped the mop handle tightly.

But at this moment.

"Haha! It's so lively!"

A girl's voice suddenly came from the sky, "Hello!"

The pirates looked up in astonishment.

Where did this person come from?

Aren't they in the middle of the ocean?

The carefree pirates hadn't yet noticed the giant ship approaching from behind.

She's floating in the air!

A pirate suddenly screamed.

In the sky, a white-haired girl leisurely hopped and skipped through the air.

"..."

Captain Barrels's expression changed drastically in an instant, his pupils shrinking to almost the size of pinpoints. "Geppo! Six Powers!"

As a former lieutenant commander in the Marine Headquarters, he may not know the Six Powers, but he certainly recognizes them.

"Are you a Navy officer or a CP member?!"

navy?

Drake immediately looked up.

"Me?"

Yamato landed lightly on the ship's side, grinning, and said, "I'm Yamato, and I'm here to take you all down."

Are you a couple?

Barrels made his decision instantly.

Does a mere lieutenant colonel like myself, who has no access to any secrets, really need to be treated with this level of protocol?

But in any case, there's only one thing we can do now.

"Fighting!!"

Barrels roared, "Kill her!"

He did not look down on Yamato young age.

You should know that anyone who can master the Six Powers can be called a superhuman.

The pirates instantly drew their weapons, blades and gun barrels pointed directly at Yamato, their hands already on the triggers, ready to fire at any moment.

"Hey-hey!"

Yamato grinned, revealing two rows of small white teeth, looking somewhat silly.

However, the pirates couldn't laugh at their foolishness.

At that moment, a violent aura roared out from the girl, crushing most of the pirates on the deck in the blink of an eye.

Even those who didn't collapse foaming at the mouth were mostly swaying and unable to stand steadily. Even Barrels himself staggered backward, feeling his body go limp.

Drake was so overwhelmed by Yamato's aura that he collapsed to the ground, but his face showed an expression of immense surprise and delight.

So powerful, so brave!

As expected of the Navy!

"Conqueror's Haki!!"

Barrels's face turned pale instantly.

At this age, not only have they mastered the Six Powers, but they also possess Conqueror's Haki, and with such proficiency, they are absolutely monsters, whether placed in the Navy or CP!

We're doomed!

I'm doomed!

At this time.

"Please let me join you!!"

Ignoring his aching body, Drake crawled forward in a disheveled manner. He strained to look up at Yamato, his expression almost fanatical. "I am Drake! X Drake! Please take me with you!"

"Huh?"

Yamato paused for a moment, then looked down at Drake, who was crawling towards her at high speed.

"You said your name is Drake?"

Ian descended from the sky and landed next to Yamato, observing Drake who was crawling towards him with great interest.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

"Ian,"

Yamato exclaimed in surprise, "Did you hear what he said?"

Drake was also stunned when he saw Ian, "I... Ian?"

That name sounds familiar.

Someone who looks so familiar.

Barrels turned deathly pale instantly, his body trembling like a leaf, and he collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Ian of the Scorched Sky!"

Ian smiled and looked down at Drake. "You said you wanted to join us, join the Beasts Pirates?"
