The Beginning and the Departure

"Jahahaha! We can finally set sail! Before I die, I'll make sure these seas are thrown into another storm!"

The journey had finally begun. This time, Golden Lion led his crew on an adventure with Blackbeard, whom he had borrowed for the trip. Blackbeard's companions were so worried about him leaving that every member of the Blackbeard Pirates decided to go along with their captain!

In other words, Golden Lion had only meant to borrow Blackbeard, whose bounty had risen to five billion after the war. Instead, Blackbeard had agreed and brought ten great pirates with bounties of over five hundred million each!

"Jahahaha! Shiki, I'm looking forward to this extraordinary adventure! You won't let me down, will you?" Teach walked up beside Golden Lion. Come to think of it, he hadn't had a single earthshaking adventure since arriving in this world. Now that he was here, he couldn't spend all his time sitting at home! This was an unprecedented grand adventure!

"Hey, hey! Stop calling me Goldilocks! I'm Golden Lion! I'm Newgate's brother, which makes me your uncle! Or you can call me Mr. Shiki!" Teach's strange nickname sounded harmless enough, but Golden Lion couldn't shake the feeling that he was being mocked!

"Jahahaha! Don't sweat the details! Pops and the others have already given you their Poneglyph rubbings—three in all! But three aren't enough to find Laugh Tale. We still need the last Poneglyph!" As someone from another world, Teach knew the last Poneglyph was on Zou. To reach Laugh Tale, they would have to visit the Mink Tribe's kingdom!

"Jahahaha! Don't worry! I've already guessed where the last Poneglyph is! Knowing Roger, there's a good chance he left it in the Mink Tribe's kingdom—the country on the back of that legendary giant elephant!" Shiki's words stunned Teach.
