White clouds drifted across the blue sea and sky, painting a tranquil picture.
The Going Merry cut through the waves, sailing slowly across the sea.
Reiner and Zoro trained at the stern, swinging massive barbells hard enough to stir the wind.
On the roof, Nami looked at the two freshly trimmed tangerine trees with satisfaction. She set down her shears and raised a hand to wipe away her sweat.
The Log Pose she had once worn on her wrist had been replaced. Its dial now had two additional needles.
The magnetic fields of the New World were far more chaotic than those in the first half of the Grand Line, and even the Log Pose could not steadily point toward a single island.
The old method of following a fixed route from island to island no longer worked here.
At every destination, they would have to choose between three possible directions for the next leg of their journey.
Beyond Fish-Man Island lay Thunder God Island, Red Chilled Island, and Mysteria Island.
Nami took out a white paper card and placed it on her palm. The card slowly shifted in the direction the Going Merry was traveling.
"The direction is correct. Based on the distance Jinbe mentioned, we should arrive in two days if nothing unexpected happens."
After confirming that their course had not unknowingly drifted, Nami put the card away with relief.
This was the Vivre Card Ace had given Luffy in Alabasta. Since the destination of this voyage was somewhat unusual, she had specifically asked Luffy to tear off a small piece for her.
"Honestly, why did we have to pick the island with the most chaotic magnetic field?"
Looking at the needle in the middle of the dial as it constantly jerked back and forth, Nami sighed helplessly.
