While Odin was refining a new magical artifact, something changed on the sea ahead of the cruise ship.
A black dot appeared on the horizon, slowly growing larger.
Odin glanced at it, then looked away.
His Observation Haki had detected it long ago, and he already knew what it was.
It was the new continent Kakin had spoken of, an enormous island large enough to be called a continent.
But before that black dot had even appeared on the horizon, he had already thoroughly scanned the giant island.
Now that he could see the dot, he naturally felt no anticipation at all.
As time passed, the black dot slowly grew larger.
At lunchtime, Ponzu emerged from the cabin with the Canteen in her hand.
She walked over to Odin and held the Canteen out to him, noticing the distant black dot as well.
"Could that be...?"
Odin nodded casually. "Yes, it's the island."
Ponzu squinted at it for a few seconds, then turned to Odin. "Is that the new continent Kakin was talking about?"
"Yes, that island really is huge. Calling it a new continent isn't much of an exaggeration," Odin said.
Ponzu asked no more questions.
She knew the range of Odin's Observation Haki was absurdly vast, and even suspected he had already explored every corner of the island.
Netero also emerged from his room and walked to the bow. Shading his eyes with a hand, he looked at the black dot.
"Ho ho ho, looks like we've arrived."
Ging came out of the cabin with a map in his hand. He unfolded it, checked it, then looked up at the island.
"You discovered this island before, but never made it public," he said.
Morel leaned against the railing. "Are we going ashore to take a look this time?"
