Chapter 153: Final preparations × Kurapika
Joey had put his gold-rimmed glasses back on. His well-tailored suit, neat hairstyle, and cold expression, slightly altered with makeup, concealed his real identity while also making it clear that he came from an exceptional background.
The blueprints for the B.W. Ship were classified in Kakin, but obtaining them was not particularly difficult.
What was more, simply taking a walk near the shipyard and spending some money made it easy to learn the layout of the B.W. Ship's decks and how they connected.
By his third day in Kakin, Joey had figured out the entire interior of the B.W. Ship.
The B.W. Ship had five decks in total. Deck one housed the royal family and important political and financial figures from the V5, deck two housed celebrities and wealthy individuals from various circles, and deck three and below were reserved for ordinary passengers.
Once the voyage began, the King's Army would take complete control of the passages between decks and guard them under martial law.
In particular, the blueprints showed an extremely thick partition wall between decks two and three.
Even in an emergency, that partition could only be opened from deck two. In other words, Kakin had drawn a firm distinction between everyone's social classes aboard the ship from the very beginning.
According to the information Joey had from the manga, Kakin's princes would conduct a secret succession war aboard the ship.
That meant decks one and two would become battlefields for the princes' war shortly after departure.
Deck one in particular housed the princes' quarters. Intelligence warfare, direct combat, and even the so-called "spirit beasts" the Kakin princes obtained through the Seed Urn Ceremony would all erupt there.
Thus, deck one was also the most predictably dangerous place aboard the ship.
