"Th... This is a map of the Grand Line? It's completely different from East Blue..." Nami said in shock.
"Of course it is. Compared to the Grand Line's violent climate and environment, East Blue's climate and environment are so comfortable that they're practically like a calm lake."
After a pause, Yaen continued, "When the time comes, secretly guide Luffy along this route."
Upon hearing this, Nami couldn't help asking, "Is this route the safest?"
Yaen merely smiled without answering Nami's question.
If they were talking about safety, then without a doubt, the route along Luffy's original path—the Alabasta Kingdom and Sky Island—was the safest.
After all, the Alabasta Kingdom and Sky Island were practically important large-scale bases of the Revolutionary Army now.
But for Luffy, Kong, and Ying, wouldn't that be no different from a young nobleman discreetly touring his own territory?
That would completely defeat the purpose of sailing and adventure, let alone allowing the Straw Hat Pirates to grow as quickly as possible before reaching Laugh Tale, the Final Island.
"By the way..."
Yaen lightly tapped the table and said, "After the conflict at Baratie is over, Nami, take your companions back to Cocos Village."
Nami instinctively froze, then abruptly raised her head and asked in surprise and delight, "Ha... Has that man named Fisher Tiger already dealt with Arlong?"
For a moment, Yaen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He understood that, to Nami, Arlong had practically become an invincible nightmare. Otherwise, after personally witnessing the astonishing battle between Mihawk and Ying, why would she still not dare to rely on her companions to deal with Arlong?
Yaen shook his head and said, "You'll know once you go there..."
However, when it came to Cocos Village, Nami didn't want anything to go wrong in the slightest.
