Coral Island
The entire island is surrounded by a continuous giant coral reef. The coral skeleton, tens of meters high, stands in the deep sea, gleaming with a faint blue light under the sunlight. The layered patterns extend across the sea surface, like the skeleton of a giant beast that has been dormant for thousands of years, quiet yet extremely oppressive.
Dozens of ships of various sizes were moored in the harbor, with the insignia of various pirate crews interspersed, indicating that at least seven or eight forces had stopped here to rest and recuperate.
The docks were bustling with activity, with workers carrying goods coming and going, street stalls filled with fresh seafood, and the aroma of wine mingling with the sea breeze.
Several drunken pirates leaned against the tavern entrance, shoving and shoving each other, while a bounty hunter in wooden clogs leisurely posted a new wanted poster on the bulletin board, looking completely relaxed.
"Where is this?" Rin asked, gazing at the chaotic island.
Chunwu unfolded the nautical chart, his fingertip slowly sliding along the route, finally landing steadily on a mark.
"Coral Port. The first non-governmental trading port at the entrance to the New World, without a fixed ruler, where various forces live, rest, and trade, making it a well-known free transit point in this sea area."
He closed the nautical chart, his gaze fixed on a blank, unmarked White Sea in the distance, and said with certainty, "This is not our final destination."
Intelligence reports indicate that an unnamed, deserted island lies hidden around Coral Port, a completely undocumented, uncharted territory with no records, no known inhabitants, and no intelligence whatsoever—a veritable blank slate.
"We'll stop here briefly to replenish our fresh water supply, and then immediately head to that unnamed island to investigate."
The sailboat slowly entered Coral Port Harbor, where giant underwater coral reefs swayed with a ghostly blue fluorescence, dyeing the entire sea area a crystal-clear deep blue.
Several pirates at the dock, completely drunk, caught sight of the Uchiha Gunbai flag fluttering on the mast. Instantly, they sobered up considerably, hurriedly staggered back, and voluntarily gave up their safe berths, not daring to offend in the slightest.
Chunwu quietly at the bow of the ship, his gaze passing over the bustling harbor and looking towards the vast, unknown sea in the distance.
The storms of the New World have only just begun.
Their voyage has countless mountains and seas waiting to be explored.
As Dusk fell, the hustle and bustle of Coral Port reached its peak.
The rough chants of the dockworkers rose and fell, mingling with the sound of the wind on the sea.
The aroma of roasted sea monster meat wafted continuously from the tavern entrance, mingling with the pungent smell of cheap rum, permeating the damp sea breeze.
At the street corner, several bounty hunters who had lost everything were tearing at and shoving each other, hurling insults and exuding a violent aura.
This free port, which has no jurisdiction, has always been chaotic and noisy, day after day, so it's nothing new.
But the moment the massive warship slowly emerged from the sea, the hustle and bustle of the entire dock suddenly fell silent, as if an invisible hand had choked it.
The ship's massive and heavy hull caused the surrounding waves to dip slightly.
The bow is inlaid with a complete giant mammoth skull, with two long, curved tusks pointing diagonally into the air, resembling two giant scythes that gleam coldly, exuding an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Beneath the backdrop of the fading sunset, a pirate flag fluttered in the wind, with two horns abruptly sprouting from a skull and two crossed bone clubs lying across its back—it was the flag of the Beasts Pirates, highly recognizable and so striking it made one's heart skip a beat.
It's Jack the Drought.
The pirates scattered across the harbor were thrown into chaos. Some scrambled back to shore, fearing being caught in the crossfire of the warships.
Some people hurriedly lowered their pirate flags and haphazardly stuffed them into the ship's hold, as if they could escape this undeserved disaster if they hid quickly enough.
In this chaotic and disorderly port, the Beasts Pirates ' banner itself is synonymous with destruction.
Chunwu quietly on the ship's side, the Three Tomoe in his eyes slowly rotating, the setting sun falling into his scarlet pupils, rippling with a layer of faint, cold light.
He was very familiar with that name.
One of Kaido's Three Calamities, with a bounty of one billion Beli, Devil Fruit User the Ancient Zoan Mammoth Fruit, who roams the seas with unparalleled brute strength and extreme brutality.
Before their departure, the intelligence files on Origin Island contained a separate list of Jack's combat strength.
The entire text is concise and to the point, without any unnecessary details. In just a few words, the characteristics of this person are outlined: superhuman strength, a tough physique, thick skin and flesh that is not afraid of conventional attacks, and a brutal and straightforward fighting style that is almost completely without any rules.
At the end of the file was a comment Setsuna added by Elder Setsuna: "Simple and brutal in nature, his logic is exactly the same as Kaido's, and he acts recklessly according to his own will."
With a deafening roar, the warship recklessly rammed into the port area.
The sturdy bow of the ship smashed directly into the wooden piles at the edge of the pier, sending fine wood chips flying everywhere, which then floated on the sea surface.
A towering figure leaped from the deck of the warship. The moment it landed, the immense force caused the patterns on the entire bluestone slab to crack, and fragments of stone tumbled down.
Jack was nearly eight meters tall, as strong as a small mountain. His messy brown hair hung down, covering most of his eyebrows and eyes. His face was fierce and rugged, but his eyes revealed a dullness that was almost stupid.
He slowly swept his gaze across the entire dock. Wherever his eyes fell, all the pirates lowered their heads and held their breath, while the vendors huddled behind their stalls, not daring to breathe loudly.
The bounty hunters who were just busy in front of the bulletin board have long since disappeared.
This scene of everyone giving way clearly pleased him greatly.
Jack let out a deep, muffled laugh and strode straight toward the largest tavern in the harbor.
Following closely behind, a horde of Beasts Pirates, like vultures that depend on wild beasts for survival, swarmed into the dock, plundering and looting the various berths with impunity, and no one dared to stop them.
Chunwu lightly tapped the cold gunwale with his fingertips, his mind quickly reviewing the situation.
As a core disaster-level executive of the Beasts Pirates, Jack was stationed in the heart of the latter half of the New World. Logically, he shouldn't have set foot in this edge sea area near the entrance. His sudden appearance in Coral Port was already suspicious.
Were they stationed here on Kaido's secret orders? Or were they hunting down someone who had defected from the Beasts Pirates Territory?
Whatever the reason, it means that this seemingly peaceful supply port could instantly turn into a battlefield.
He leaned closer to Rin and quickly ordered in a low voice, "Everyone back to the cabin and stand by. Keep the sails slack so we can raise them and leave port at any time."
Suspend all supply operations. Everyone should keep a close watch on Jack and his group's movements and refrain from provoking them. However, if they insist on attacking, there is no need to back down or back down.
Rin nodded crisply, turned around and gave a silent hand gesture. All the Uchiha team members on the deck instantly suppressed their auras and quietly returned to their positions on guard. The entire sailboat seemed calm, but in reality, it was already as taut as a bow ready to be released.
A moment later, two roaming, scavenging Beasts Pirates minions staggered toward the Uchiha's berth.
