"Foggy Sea Area?"

Morgans paused, then a sense of relief washed over him.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

In just a short while, his mind had already conjured up many sufficiently crazy ideas for Buggy.

For instance, setting fire to Mary Geoise, provoking the Marines again at Marineford, or causing trouble at Impel Down.

It seemed that when he was with this man, even crazy ideas became commonplace.

However, the consequences behind these ideas would result in death nine times out of ten.

Fortunately, Buggy only proposed the Foggy Sea Area as their destination.

While they were getting carried away with madness, he had instead become rational.

How ironic.

The Foggy Sea Area seemed to be a place with many bizarre legends on the Grand Line.

But as the leader of the intelligence industry, Morgans also knew that besides being the lair of Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai, it was also connected to a erased past.

"The Foggy Sea Area, that's a terrifying place. Countless pirate ships get lost in that sea area every year."

Morgans jumped down from the second deck of the Grand News with a splat.

The Grand News was the name he had given his ship.

Although the Grand News was about a third smaller than a normal pirate sailing ship, it had everything it needed: a captain's cabin, a chart room, a crow's nest.

And due to its special material, it had a shallow draft, allowing it to navigate freely even in the intricate waterways of Sabaody Archipelago.

However, in return, the Grand News had a weaker resistance to storms.

For this reason, Morgans had built high bulwarks on the sides of the Grand News.

Hmm. They look more like a penguin's wings.

"But because it's a sea area without magnetic field gravity, actively heading there is truly perplexing."

"After all, this is still the Grand Line."

Morgans looked slightly troubled. He possessed Eternal Poses for many islands, which should have met most of Buggy's navigation needs.

But the Foggy Sea Area, a region that had earned its reputation on the Grand Line due to its unpredictable location and various ghostly, eerie, and terrifying legends, was an exception.

If they tried to find it by force, the probability would be too low.

"Is that so?"

Buggy frowned, contemplating whether to shift his target and set Mary Geoise ablaze.

His original objective was Captain John, resurrected from the dead aboard Moria's Ghost Ship in the Foggy Sea Area.

That was their compromise.

The Joker would create chaos, Buggy would pursue treasure, and as for the College Student...

Give him a large gold bar and he'd be lost.

There was also a rather important clue: a bracelet Luffy obtained from Captain John after defeating Moria.

That was actually Captain John's treasure marker.

According to the original plot, he should be in Impel Down right now, receiving this item from Luffy?

There was no helping it now.

With his current "glorious achievements," as soon as he appeared near Marineford...

The three Admirals would surely pounce on him like rabid dogs.

That might be quite interesting too.

A slight smile touched Buggy's lips, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

He wondered if they had already decided how to design his bounty poster?

However, Buggy believed that Captain John's corpse itself should hold other clues.

Another reason was...

On that Ghost Island, there were too many people who had appeared in the same place before.

That was also quite interesting.

Buggy felt he was beginning to appreciate the fun of a mystery.

Of course, it would be even more amusing if he were the one providing this fun to others.

"The Florian Triangle? I have some impression of that place."

Arne, who had been fiddling with his camera, finally remembered his original goal.

"When I was on my previous pirate ship, I accidentally entered that sea area."

Arne's tone still carried a hint of lingering fear.

"There was an extremely terrifying, giant black shadow in that dense fog. We only brushed its edge, and several people on the ship inexplicably disappeared!"

This kind of incomprehensible fear brought by the unknown was bone-deep.

Arne had only felt a similar sensation from one other person.

Yes. It was when the man with the red lips in front of him walked out of the iron cage and claimed to be a good person.

"Then how are you still alive?"

Morgans looked incredulous.

"Uh, later we tied the remaining people together with ropes and didn't dare to loosen them until the sky brightened again."

Recalling that time, Arne still felt a bit embarrassed.

A large group of rough men squeezed together, the smell...

He didn't want to recall it at all.

"But it's also because that experience left a deep impression that I specifically noted the location on the Log Pose at the time."

"The island our Log Pose was pointing to then was the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Hmm, if I had an Eternal Pose for Water 7 and an Eternal Pose for the Sabaody Archipelago, I could definitely find that sea area!"

Arne's eyes instantly lit up with the brilliance of a professional Tool Person.

What he had learned most from that old Adventurer was how to pinpoint various small islands that were not on sea charts or pointers; these were the places Adventurers loved to visit most.

Using two fixed directions to find an unknown location was also something he was Skilled at.

It was just a pity that an Eternal Pose specifically for a certain island was a very valuable item.

The World Government and the Navy tightly controlled these things.

"Eternal Pose?"

Buggy seemed to remember something and pulled open his stomach like a cabinet.

Inside were more than twenty small glass ball-like pointers. Any small gaps were filled with small, intricately shaped Explosives.

How could someone carry these things on their person!!

Arne was shocked, and several black lines inevitably appeared on his forehead.

"If you don't have them, we have them here."

Secretary Gull also brought out a box from behind, which was filled to the brim with Eternal Poses or Log Poses that recorded a certain route.

For a moment, Arne felt like he was the clown.

Damn it, he'd forgotten that the two people in front of him were an Underground Emperor with deep foundations and someone who had just ransacked the Celestial Dragons' Vault, making them incredibly rich right now!

Both Water 7 and the Sabaody Archipelago were important islands in the first half of the Grand Line. Arne not only found them but even found two or three more...

Morgans had also provided a rough sea chart.

He probably thought that hiding out in the Foggy Sea Area seemed like a good option.

As for terrifying legends...

Aren't they precisely legends that come about because many people have returned alive?
