After three days of piloting a self-powered glider, they had already left the Wano Country waters and Kaido's territory, and their daily training schedule was fully in place.
The role of Sequence 6 is only left to be fully implemented as "Wind-blessed" and the "Notary" ceremony is yet to be completed.
When he's not boxing, he uses a glider to travel; when he is boxing, he uses a small sailboat, using his own propulsion system to power the sailboat while he's boxing, hoping to catch up on the role of the Wind-blessed as quickly as possible.

Following the Vivre Card, they returned to Zou, but Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had not yet returned.
After picking up Violet, I planned to take her back to Dressrosa first, and then continue on my way to Fish-Man Island.
However, she was clearly not very happy...
August 17, 1511.
√,√,√,√,√,√.
We returned to Dressrosa.
As expected, Violet was placed under house arrest...
After all, she had left a letter before "running away from home".
Although she still wanted to go to the legendary Mermaid island to see the underwater kingdom, I firmly refused her this time.
I've already witnessed this Princess's adventurous spirit, but... Fish-Man Island isn't suitable for her.
In Dressrosa, her visual limit is just enough to not see the Red Line Continent, but if she goes to Fish-Man Island, the Celestial Dragons' stronghold will be exposed to her view.
If she were to look away, it would likely attract the attention of CP0, not to mention... it would also be detrimental to her mental and physical health.
Even though she accused me of "crossing the river and burning the bridge" (meaning I betrayed her after using her), I remained firm in my stance.

To appease Violet, who was under house arrest and couldn't leave with him, he didn't cultivate for the entire day.
We set off one day later.
Yes, now that Rose Bishop, have completed my role and even the ritual, I am able to control myself...

While playing the role of Wind-blessed One, the journey became much more efficient. By morning, the Red Line Continent was already visible, resembling a giant red serpent stretching across the horizon.
As the future Sea King, I went straight to the Ryugu Kingdom after a dive, without going to the Coated Island in the New World.
Encouragingly, things are going well in Fish-Man District; everyone is training diligently, and the bottom-ranking elimination system has provided a backbone force for the King Neptune's Army.
I also collected samples of their Lineage Factor...
I've been wondering before, if we used artificial Zoan Devil Fruit to give them the abilities corresponding to their fish species, would there be any additional enhancements? Or even... were the ancestors of the Fish-Man Race originally humans whose Lineage Factor were modified?
The Fish-Man is more like Vegapunk's Zoan Devil Fruit- type Devil Fruit, while the Mermaid's tail is similar to the result of eating Caesar Clown's version of an artificial Zoan Devil Fruit.
Of course, judging from their current results, the technology is not yet mature enough for that purpose; I just want to study it.

I rested for the night on Fish-Man District, and Neptune sent someone to find me early the next morning.
When I saw Neptune and Queen Otohime again, I told them about the "Great Kingdom" and the "Alliance"...
Neptune's expression was somewhat conflicted, as if he had already "seen" the huge loophole in my words. Sure enough, there must be some ancient legends left behind in the Ryugu Kingdom. My fabricated story was easy to spot the flaws.
However, it doesn't matter if there are loopholes. I don't care whether it's true or false. Even if it's fake, I'll still authenticate it as real!
King Neptune remained hesitant about joining the alliance, but this time King Neptune Queen Otohime much more decisive and even helped persuade him...
When King Neptune learned that I had used the name of "Sea King" to win over the Tontatta Tribe, the Mink Tribe, and Wano Country on behalf of the Fish-Man Race, he could only agree, his expression becoming increasingly conflicted.
After all, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's the Fish-Man Race are embarrassed!
King Neptune may appear tall and Stronger, and he has a fiery temper, but in reality, he's less decisive than Queen Otohime. He needs to be "driven" away.

To avoid causing trouble for the Ryugu Kingdom, I left Fish-Man Island that very night. Although Hody and the others were reluctant to see me go, they devoted themselves even more to their training and the propaganda work among the people of the Ryugu Kingdom.
Passing through the deep sea cave beneath the Red Line Continent, I returned to the first half of the Grand Line...
Sig rose from the sea, breathing in the long-lost air of the "first half of the Grand Line".
Sig then needs to find the location of "Visalia"...
Unlike typical Sky Island, Visalia is relatively less secluded. Many ordinary people who don't believe in "Sky Island" have heard of this island, but they don't equate it with the legendary "Sky Island."
Because this is a man-made Sky Island that has only appeared in the last few hundred years...
Although Sig knew that the Sky Island was, in a sense, man-made— Moon person.
However, the two are clearly different in nature. The Visalia was created by a group of meteorologists who floated in the air using meteorological technology and could travel to and from the Blue Sea!
The inhabitants there are not Sky Island person, nor do they have the habit of wearing wings as decorations; instead, they are a group of meteorologists.
We regularly have "business" dealings with the islands in the Blue Sea —mainly related to addressing climate issues!
The weather island "Visalia" is a Sky Island that can move autonomously. Due to the existence of "Blue Star's unique meteorology," they can control the wind to a certain extent, and naturally, they can also control the movement of the White Sea on which they are located.
However, most of the time, it only operates in the first half of the Grand Line, occasionally entering the East China Sea and the South China Sea, but never crossing the Red Line Continent.
After all, the entire Red Line Continent is higher at sea than underwater. Except for Mary Geoise, which is at a lower elevation, the elevation of the rest of the world is generally over 10,000 meters.
"Visalia" is the floating Sky Island with the lowest altitude. It can even be controlled to land and make contact with the Blue Sea. While this facilitates travel between Visalia and the Blue Sea, it also means that it cannot fly as high as other Sky Island.
To cross the Red Line Continent, Visalia would need to fly over Mary Geoise... which is obviously something no normal person would do!
The reason why Visalia is mostly located in the Grand Line is twofold. Firstly, its "main business" is solving climate problems, and the countries in the Grand Line obviously need this kind of service more, so its customer base is here. Secondly, the meteorologists of Visalia also prefer the changeable climate of the Grand Line as a subject of their research.
Although Visalia isn't as famous Water 7, you can still find out some information about it, and they occasionally place advertisements in the newspapers...
