Vera

Facing Vera, the Sun Pirates didn't truly intend to conquer the country. With the Sun Pirates' reputation, if they showed themselves, they would definitely be heavily targeted by the World Government.

Currently, Fisher Tiger's plan for Vera was to first raid ships, destroy slave-catching teams, liberate local slaves, and intercept military forces. At most, they could buy half a day to a full day...

As many slaves as could escape, would escape. The Sun Pirates could do no more.

Transportation and communication were inconvenient on the Grand Line, and the information they gathered couldn't be that precise. Therefore, after landing, the first thing they did was scout the terrain, assess the situation, and first seize enough ships!

One, to give other slaves who had been looted a chance to escape; two, to strike at the slave system's forces as much as possible and disrupt this trading point; three... even if some slaves couldn't escape, at least the seeds of freedom would be sown, perhaps one day in the future, they would blossom and bear fruit.

Before, Sig might have thought the Sun Pirates' actions were too rash. Perhaps the slaves could live a few more years under the slave owner's whip. But if the times fell into continuous turmoil, perhaps more people would suffer...

However, having been a slave himself, Sig would definitely not have such thoughts now!

The Sun Pirates' meeting didn't last long. Sig estimated that by the time they neared Vera, they would definitely plan in more detail.

This was the Sun Pirates' first action with "a country" as their goal.

Air punches, 3000 times completed √, underwater punches, 3000 times completed √.

I should be able to meet the Prison Demon soon, and I can get more familiar with my Devil Fruit abilities...

The process of my interaction with the Prison Demon also seems to promote my role-playing as a "Listener."

To summarize the similarities with the mysterious world, it's inferred that "both involve communicating with hidden powers to obtain inhuman abilities."]

[Marineford Calendar 1506, May 4th.

√, √.

After announcing to my companions a few days ago that our target was Vila Island, everyone was very excited and eager to get started.

Even in the past few nights, there were no more Fish-Men crying secretly on the deck—perhaps having a goal has made their resolve stronger?]

[Marineford Calendar 1506, May 6th.

Today, I increased it to 1,600 Tiles! √, √.

At my strongest, I could already unleash 1,800 Tiles with my punches. Although I was exhausted, I can now prove that my Fish-Man Karate has reached about the sixtieth dan!

The special training in Water Seven, especially the final confrontation with the Sea God Pilgrimage's waves, where I punched again and again, allowed me to improve extremely quickly. Now I have almost completely digested the power I had previously left undeveloped.]

[Marineford Calendar 1506, May 10th.

√, √.

My progress in Fish-Man Karate has returned to normal.

Although Boss Jinbe said my current rate of progress is already extremely fast, I feel I should leverage my advantages further and develop the abilities of the "Spectator-Visionary" and "Reader-White Tower" pathways!

The reason Fish-Man Karate has progressed so quickly is precisely due to the physical enhancement from the "Sailor-Tyrant" pathway and the resonance enhancement of sea power from the "Singer-Sun" pathway.

The abilities of the "Mystic-Hanged Man" pathway have now also brought about better control over my Devil Fruit abilities, further enhancing my combat power.

However, for now, the "Spectator-Visionary" pathway is still just the prototype for enhancing Observation Haki, and the "Reader-White Tower" pathway currently... has only increased my IQ?

[Marineford Calendar 1506, May 14th.

Air punches, 3000 times completed, underwater punches, 3000 times completed...

I still have no clue how to improve my combat power using the "Spectator-Visionary" and "Reader-White Tower" pathways, but the role-playing of "Mind Reader" and "Reasoning Trainee" is proceeding step by step.

Comforting the confused Mermaid lady has already become a stable channel for my "Mind Reader" role-playing.

In fact, this behavior is closer to the Sequence Seven "Psychologist." It is only through comforting them that my judgment of their emotions allows me to grasp the role-playing thread of "Mind Reader." And currently, I lack the ability of psychological suggestion, so I can only be a confidant (little brother).

There is a similar difference between the Sequence Eight "Reasoning Trainee" and the Sequence Seven "Detective." Compared to the more advanced "Detective," the key to the "Reasoning Trainee" role-playing is to sort out the process, not to give the conclusion!

Today, I meticulously helped Hachi find the guy who stole and ate his takoyaki, and my role-playing progress has increased...]

[Marineford Calendar 1506, May 15th.

No punching today.

I was cornered by the Marines and had a big fight...

I really wanted to "detain" that Rear Admiral forever, but Boss Fisher Tiger stopped me.

I cannot forget his words. Fisher Tiger's "no killing" policy has likely been known by the Marines. After being defeated, that guy actually kept saying, "Don't think you can get away with defeating us a few times. The Celestial Dragons won't let these slaves go, and the World Government's absolute justice will always prevail."

I could feel that the person most deeply hurt by his words was Fisher Tiger.

When I am promoted to Sequence Seven, the first thing I will do is help Fisher Tiger heal his emotional wounds!]

[Marineford Calendar 1506, May 19th.

√, √.

I still haven't figured out how to use "Mind Reader" and "Reasoning Trainee" to directly strengthen my combat power, but my mastery of Armament Haki has progressed further. Today, through continuous attempts, I can now use Armament Haki without needing to be enraged to activate it.

This should be related to my experience in Water Seven, though I can't quite tell yet if I unintentionally touched the essence of "rage" or if my Armament Haki has simply become more refined.

[Sea Calendar 1506, May 25th.

√,√.

Today the Sea Bass docked at the Galadi Archipelago. Because we're about to go to war with the local kingdom on Vila Island, everyone is being disciplined. Even Arlong and Hachi didn't go ashore for entertainment.

As usual, I'm responsible for going ashore to gather information...

[Sea Calendar 1506, May 26th.

Lurking in a town inn, I didn't spar for safety reasons.

Today I heard some bad news--the Log Pose for Galadi Island will take almost half a year to finish recording!

We obviously don't have that kind of time. I went back to the ship and applied for funds from Captain Fisher Tiger. Tomorrow, we'll buy a pre-made Log Pose on the black market.

For a fleet that just arrived here, waiting for the Log Pose to record is a problem. But for the locals, even though Log Poses are expensive, they can be resold at a higher price after just three months of storage. Naturally, many people do this business.

However, the World Government prohibits the private buying and selling of Poses, whether they are Log Poses or Eternal Poses!

After all, groups without permission are not allowed to sail, or they will be treated as pirates... How could they not control the Poses?

But this kind of business, which requires no technical skill, naturally cannot be eliminated. They are still sold at high prices on the black market.

Since I came to the black market alone, I was inevitably ripped off, but I held back from losing my temper.

Also, at the black market, I found a clue about a slave-hunting party heading to Vera...]
