Kazu opened the door and called Robin, who was reading in the library, to the deck.
"Come on, Robin, let's not study today's Poneglyph yet. There's another treasure here."
Bang!
With a loud bang, Kazu placed the Poneglyph he had obtained from Fish-Man Island directly onto the deck.
"This is..."
Robin was surprised that Kazu had managed to get another Road Poneglyph stone marker. Getting two in one day made her feel that today must be her lucky day.
No, you should say that Kazu is lucky.
Robin looked at Kazu with deep affection, feeling like she was the happiest woman in the world at that moment.
Of course, this feeling of being moved lasted only five seconds before Robin forcibly stopped him, saying that it was more important to look at the Poneglyph first.
Kazu shrugged. It really was a case of forgetting one's lover once a tombstone was erected.
Forget it, I'll just have a few drinks and enjoy the sea breeze.
When Carlmand and the others heard a loud thud, they thought someone had attacked the Divine Dragon, which startled them.
Once on deck, we discovered that Captain Kazu had managed to get another Red Road Poneglyph. His efficiency was simply unparalleled.
Pedro was handed over to Oulait by Kazu. Since both of them used swords, it would be ideal for Oulait to teach Pedro about Haki and swordsmanship.
Most importantly, it also gives Oulait something to do, so he won't be bored all the time. Who knows, he might suddenly pop up and challenge Kazu to a duel.
Now that Oulait has Pedro to teach him, he can gain new insights from it, and Kazu can finally have some peace and quiet. It's killing three birds with one stone, isn't that great?
Time flies like an arrow; half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, Wano Country is already within reach.
The surrounding ocean currents became very turbulent, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and even the sea breeze was much stronger, blowing Hancock and the girls' hair wildly.
"The wind here is a bit strange."
"Yes, it feels much colder; the sea breeze is quite different from usual."
Carlmand and his companions also stood at the bow of the ship; such a rare sight was not often seen.
The Divine Dragon continued its final journey, swaying from side to side. On the sea, there were many rock pillars covered with green moss, grass, and trees.
Moreover, the closer one gets to Wano Country, the more turbulent the waves become, and the stronger the wind grows. With such harsh weather enveloping Wano Country, it's no wonder they've been able to remain closed off for so long without being conquered.
"I must say, Kaido and his Beasts Pirates really chose a good location."
whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!
Beneath the surging waves, several giant carp, tens of meters long, swam after the Divine Dragon, leaping and jumping around the ship.
Red, black, white, yellow, swimming against the current.
Kazu thinks he could catch a couple and cook something with them. He wonders how they'll taste, given how big these carp are.
"Can carp really grow this big?"
"Is this a specialty of Wano Country?"
"Haha, that's the beauty of a sea adventure."
"Um, by the way, aren't carp freshwater fish?"
"Why would they appear in the sea? How did they survive?"
Drew's words were like a wake-up call for everyone. They had been too busy being amazed to realize now that this was a freshwater fish! Was that even scientifically possible?
The Divine Dragon continued its journey, the wind and waves grew stronger, but the seawater became clearer and clearer, as if it had turned into river water.
"Hey, is that for real? That thing in front of me is..."
A waterfall flowing upstream?
Galette felt that joining the Blond Hair Pirates was much more exciting than joining the Big Mom Pirates.
"Hmph, shall I cut it in half with one stroke?"
Oulait felt a tickle in her hand; the waterfall flowing upstream was worth chopping down.
" Kazu, are you sure you don't want to use spatial power to teleport the Divine Dragon up there?"
Swallowing hard, Carlmand finally understood just how reliable Kazu's spatial power was.
He's Devil Fruit User now, unlike before when falling into the sea was just like taking a bath.
"Haha, how interesting! This time, I won't use Space Teleportation. I also want to try what it feels like to climb a waterfall."
Upon hearing Kazu's words, Carlmand's beating heart finally died.
Well, Kazu himself is Devil Fruit User, so I suppose he'll cover for him.
"Go, carp!!"
Kazu used his spatial powers to transform into five solid long ropes and looped them around the carp's body.
As the carp climbed the waterfall upstream, the Divine Dragon was also pulled along behind them, climbing the waterfall as well.
Carp: Damn it, I'm exhausted!
The Divine Dragon was indeed quite large, and the carp's speed was noticeably slower, lacking the speed and excitement they had when they first started climbing.
