The bustle in the island camp gradually died down. The banquet was over, and Reiner and the others returned to the Going Merry.
The Whitebeard Pirates' men were also busy with their own tasks, preparing to depart once they had finished making repairs.
At the shore.
Ace jumped onto the Going Merry and crouched on the railing at the ship's side, with Marco slowly making his way up behind him.
"Hey, Luffy, where are you heading next? The Log Pose should be fully charged by now, right?" Ace called to Luffy on the deck.
They were ready to set sail. Who knew when they would meet again, so they had come over to say goodbye one last time.
Seeing them, Luffy happily waved. "Oh, Ace! And Pineapple-Head Uncle!"
"Call me Marco!"
"It's fine, hahahaha! I don't mind!" Luffy yawned, then eagerly ran into the cabin. "Nami! Is the Log Pose ready yet? We're setting sail!"
"Yeah..." Marco lowered his eyelids, his face full of helplessness.
Inside the aquarium, Reiner and the others were all gathered around the couch against the wall.
"You're really impatient. Here."
Nami glanced at the Log Pose on her wrist and held it out to Luffy with an annoyed look. "It's fully charged. Pick a direction."
To her relief, all three needles were very steady this time.
That meant their next destination would be a "normal island" with a stable magnetic field. It did not matter which direction they took.
"Emmm, they all look kind of boring."
Luffy frowned, stroking his chin as he stared at the Log Pose in deep thought.
Heh, otherwise I wouldn't let you choose, Nami thought, rolling her eyes.
After a long while, Luffy pointed at the needle and solemnly looked up. "Make it move a little, Nami."
"Are you insane?!"
