Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the blazing sun, white clouds formed various patterns and drifted away. On the vast and boundless sea, a pirate crew was steadily sailing forward.

"Ugh, it's so hot, I'm going to die!"

With their tongues lolling out, Bepo and Sisi lay under the cherry blossom tree, their heads drooping listlessly.

"What's going on in this sea area? Why is it so hot?"

Ripples were visible to the naked eye as Conis, with her long hair flowing down her back and her slender waist below her sexy collarbone, wiped the sweat from her forehead in a blue patterned bikini.

"Conis, I want some iced juice."

Sitting on the grass with her back against a cherry blossom tree, Sakura was also wearing a swimsuit, her still-developing breasts swaying, but they were still a notch below Conis and Ain's.

"Sister Conis, please bring me a drink."

Ain was also wearing a bikini, and her long, slender, white legs shimmered in the sunlight.

Mansherry and Lily, on the other hand, were wearing swimsuits and sundresses, but now they were also lying listlessly on the grass.

"Please wait a moment."

Looking up at the blinding light in the sky, Conis walked towards the kitchen.

"Quack"

Not long after Conis left, a News Coo suddenly flew by, Mansherry spotted it immediately.

"Captain, there's News Coo!"

"Really?" Sakura, who was enjoying the sea breeze, opened her eyes, saw the News Coo passing by, stood up and waved. Then the News Coo to a branch of Sakura's tree and picked up a stack of newspapers.

Sakura was given a few Beli, and she sat down again with the newspaper. Lily and the others gathered around her.

Has anything major happened recently?

Mansherry stood on Sakura's shoulder, looking at the unfolded newspaper.

"The fifth generation Supernova, Red Flag Drake, Magician Basil Hawkins, Apoo Apoo, Sta Kid, Killer teamed up to challenge the Four Emperors Kaido, but were utterly defeated!"

Sakura unfolded the newspaper and read the news.

"Supernova challenging the Four Emperors?"

"Still five?"

"Unfortunately, it failed."

Everyone felt a little regretful upon seeing this news, but it wasn't unexpected, after all, Kaido was one of the Four Emperors, on par with their king.

"Any other news?"

"Let me see. There's news from the country that Apollo Island has become part of the country's territory, and in the past three months, a sea route has been successfully built; the Big Bear King is hunting down a great pirate with a bounty of 580 million, because this great pirate attacked a merchant ship in the country's waters."

There's also news about Gasparde, Breed, Uncle Smoker, and Uncle Bege.

"That's amazing!"

"What's so great about that? But those pirates are really stupid to dare to provoke a nation."

"Indeed."

Everyone nodded, looking at the newspapers about those pirates who had provoked the country; no matter how many hundreds of millions of bounties they had, they wouldn't live more than ten or fifteen months.

"The World's Greatest Swordsman has appeared in the New World to fight against one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired; the outcome is unknown."

After reading several newspapers, the group lost interest.

"Why haven't we heard from us?" Lily, somewhat annoyed.

"Wasn't it like that two months ago? The captain had a bounty of 200 million Beli on his head."

"But two months have already passed. You know, we defeated two pirate crews in those two months!"

"The Navy is currently offering bounties to pirates, and the pirates are also offering bounties to the Navy. We only defeated two pirate crews; it has nothing to do with the Navy."

"Captain, why don't we rob the navy? After all, the navy is our enemy."

"No."

Just then, Conis came out with a glass of chilled juice and gave a stern look to the guys who had been egging Sakura on.

"When we left Apollo Island, the King specifically instructed me not to let the captain run amok."

"Conis, what if someone provokes us first?"

With a quick glance, Sakura raised her fist.

"Of course we'll fight back." Conis said instinctively, then looked at Sakura's sly eyes and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

"Bepo, go get the nautical chart. Let's see which Marine Base are around and go check them out!"

"Captain, this isn't right!" Bepo exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"Just go when I tell you to."

Sakura shouted, pushing Bepo's body forward.

"All right!"

After a while, Bepo spread out the nautical chart on the grass.

"Captain, there doesn't seem to be Marine Base nearby."

"The navy is truly useless." Sakura looked angrily at the sea area within a hundred miles, her heart filled with frustration.

"Captain, this is the New World. The Navy does have territory, but it's not this extensive," Ain explained, looking at the nautical chart.

"Captain, let's go swimming, it's too hot."

Seeing that there were no Marine Base around, Lily came up with another way to pass the time.

"Set off."

"Oh!"

The weather was hot and humid, and coupled with boredom, Lily's idea was readily agreed upon.

Standing up, led by Sakura, Bepo, Mansherry, Sisi, and Lily rushed into the cabin, each carrying a swimming ring around their waist when they came out.

On the side of the Friendship, there is an area in the sea marked out with special air cushions.

"Charge!"

After climbing onto the railing, several guys, seemingly unafraid of death, jumped straight down.

"Heart."

Conis gave a few words of advice as she watched the group of guys perform fancy jumps into the sea.

The waves splashed up, and Conis was answered with the splash of something heavy hitting the sea!

Walking to the railing, Conis looked at Sakura floating on the sea, her entire body supported by a swimming ring, looking sickly.

"I feel completely weak."

Bepo and Mansherry were also bobbing up and down with the waves.

"Ain, Conis, you're coming too!"

For some reason, compared to Bepo and Mansherry's severe exhaustion, Sakura still had some strength.

A short while later, perhaps because of the intense heat, Conis and Ain also appeared in the sea carrying swimming rings.

"I really don't understand you guys. Do you feel good about this exhaustion?"

Feeling weak all over and gripped by fear, Ain looked at Bepo was sticking out his tongue.

Lying on the swimming ring, Bepo was too weak to answer.

"Look, there's a wooden barrel."

Mansherry glanced back and saw a wooden barrel floating on the sea.

It hissed Sisi stuck out its tongue.

"How could there be a wooden bucket in this vast ocean? Could there be something there?"

A few minutes later, the group stood around the wooden barrel on the grass, examining it.

"Let me see."

Sakura took the lead and was about to untie the bucket lid, but Conis stopped her.

"Captain, let's wait and see, just in case there's danger."

But just as Conis was stopping her, Lily lifted the lid of the bucket and pointed at the wooden tub, saying, "There seems to be a piece of paper inside."

"Lily."

Conis clutched her forehead, feeling incredibly upset, while Lily shrank back and smiled obsequiously.

"It looks like a map."

Bepo picked it up from the bucket, and there it was—a map, its yellowed paper indicating it was quite old.

"Treasure map."

Their eyes lit up as they looked at the three large characters at the top of the map.

Conis and Ain exchanged a glance, both having a bad feeling. Although the people here weren't interested in treasure, adventure was the captain's favorite thing.

"Let's go find the treasure!"

"It's over."

Conis didn't even bother to offer any more advice.
