At this, both Cat Viper and Inuarashi were utterly shocked. "What? You're shipwright Tom's apprentice?"
Franky said proudly, "That's right! I'm Mr. Tom's apprentice! Super!"
Brook stepped forward and said, "Um... may I ask another question? Then you must have met the ship's doctor, Crocu—"
Before Brook could finish, Nami suddenly interrupted him. "Wait, Brook. Sorry for cutting you off, but I need to confirm something first!"
Nami quickly walked up to him and suddenly asked, "The four Road Poneglyphs only show the route to Raftel, right? I'm a little worried about our course."
Nami raised her left hand, where a Log Pose was strapped to her wrist. "Normally, the directions pointed to by the three needles determine our next destination, but it hasn't fully set yet. Is that all right?"
Everyone stared at Nami's Log Pose.
Nami said, "After we met Trafalgar Law, we unexpectedly came to Zou through a Vivre Card, and then unexpectedly obtained information about the Road Poneglyphs. I remember Crocus at Twin Cape saying that we should follow the records, and eventually all the routes would converge into one. I thought that would allow us to reach Raftel."
Cat Viper said happily, "Crocus... that name really brings back memories. Is he doing well? Hahaha!"
Lu Yu rushed over excitedly. "He was full of energy when we saw him two years ago. You mean that old man with Lab, right?"
Cat Viper burst into cheerful laughter. "That guy Crocus used to be searching for a certain pirate crew."
Brook stepped forward at once. "That was my pirate crew. It was wiped out long ago."
Cat Viper screamed in fright, and even the cigarette in his hand went flying!
Nami said angrily from the side, "Are you even listening to me? This is important! Answer me already!"
