Kuzan hurried to the helm and pounced on the sea chart, searching for the location of "Winter Crow Island" mentioned in the call.
In the New World, everyone navigated according to Log Poses or Vivre Cards. Sea charts were not particularly useful, but warships still carried them so the Marines could determine their approximate location.
Their warship had only entered the New World a week ago. On top of that, Kuzan's "ride" was rather shabby and lacked sufficient power, so its speed through the New World's bizarre currents was not fast. In a week, they had not covered much distance.
Kuzan's assignment was to reach Water Seven and await orders before June. Under the guidance of an Eternal Pose, their warship could normally reach the destination in three months.
The extra time had mainly been set aside for the Marines to "deal with" difficulties.
The New World was fraught with danger. There were not only the dangers brought by the climate and ocean currents, but also those brought by the pirates who roamed the seas.
Most warships entering the New World traveled in groups. Only a very few exceptionally powerful Marine officers were assigned to act alone, precisely so that outsiders could not judge how much strength the Marines had committed to the New World.
Interrupted by that distress call, Kuzan's first priority was no longer continuing his journey, but heading to Winter Crow Island to investigate.
However, Kuzan searched the sea chart with pent-up fury and still could not find any marker for Winter Crow Island. The fire in his chest burned even hotter.

Staring at the sea chart and unable to find the so-called Winter Crow Island, Kuzan slapped the table in irritation.
The young Kuzan wore his emotions
