Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 132

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity that both women had vacation time, they changed into casual clothes and went to the Sabaody Archipelago, a place with a thriving entertainment and leisure industry.

Inside a coffee shop, Momousagi and Tina sat by the window.

After discussing work-related matters...

The two women started talking about things outside of work.

For example, when Chaton's 87th confession to Momousagi was rejected, Tina, on her way to the East Blue, used a past incident to mock Smoker, who was working there.

"It's been three years already..."

With her delicate, pointed chin resting on the back of her hand, Momousagi Gion gazed out the window and murmured softly.

Tina, with her long pink hair draped over her shoulders and sunglasses perched on her forehead, took a sip of coffee.

Momousagi turned her head and smiled at Tina opposite her, "I heard some things about him during my trip to the West Sea. Would you like to hear them?"

"I've heard quite a bit about it in the East China Sea as well."

Tina put down her coffee cup and said, "He really is, just as he said, sailing all over the world in a ship."

"Hehe, isn't this a good thing? At least we won't run into him on the battlefield."

Momousagi Gion's eyes are curved, and with the beauty mark at the corner of her eye and her beautiful, charming face full of mature and sophisticated aura, she has an irresistible allure.

Tina rested her chin on her hand and gently stirred her coffee with a spoon in the other.

"How long is that guy going to stay in the Four Seas? Is he not going to come to the Grand Line?"

"Who knows? In that case, we'll have even fewer chances to see him."

Momousagi said with some regret.

Tina was a little displeased: "He's running around everywhere with the beauties on the ship, so carefree and leisurely. That guy has completely forgotten about us two older sisters! Next time we meet, Tina will definitely teach him a lesson."

“You might not have been his match three years ago, let alone now,” Momousagi said, taking a sip of coffee.

Tina was about to retort.

Momousagi put down her coffee cup, and said with a hint of emotion in her eyes:

"His strength has increased a lot. You should know about the 12th pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy in the West Sea, and the Green Pepper family, the violent group, right?"

Tina nodded.

"It's the one whose cone-shaped head was flattened by Vice Admiral Garp."

“That’s right.” Momousagi nodded. “Although I don’t know what happened, that green pepper seems to respect Ron a lot. He doesn’t even allow anyone to speak ill of him in the Flower Kingdom of the West Sea.”

The commotion caused by that miraculous ship in the Western Sea was no less than that in the South Sea. The extremely respectful attitude of the Eight Treasures Navy and Old Man Green Pepper towards the ship's captain, the traveler Ron, was something that made the people of the Western Sea shudder.

"That Green Pepper with a Cone-shaped Hairpin actually..."

Tina looked surprised upon hearing Momousagi's words.

"When he left, his strength was about the same as mine. How could he have improved so much in just three years? Tina was very surprised."

Tina said with a look of surprise.

Upon hearing this, Peach Rabbit couldn't help but smile.

"He defeated Smoker when he first arrived at Marineford, and he was only 11 years old then. When he fought you, he was already 14. Do you think his strength wouldn't have increased in the three years he's been at Marineford?"

Tina was taken aback by what she heard.

"You mean, he didn't use his full strength when he sparred with me?"

Momousagi smiled and nodded.

"That guy actually hid his strength from Tina too, Tina is furious!"

Tina angrily downed her coffee in one gulp.

"Haha."

Tina, still fuming, looked at Momousagi, who was smiling across from her:

"So, what level of strength did that guy actually reach when he left Marineford?"

Momousagi took a sip of coffee and said, "A month before he left Marineford, I had a sword sparring session with him, and it was through that match that I learned about his true strength..."

“Ron’s…true strength.”

Tina stared intently at Momousagi, filled with curiosity.

Momousagi recalled that battle, looked down at the coffee in her cup, her fingers tracing the rim, and said softly with a hint of emotion in her eyes:

"At that time, his strength was roughly equivalent to that of a rear admiral at the Navy Headquarters."

"!!!"

Tina was dumbfounded.

Momousagi Gion rested her chin on her hand, glancing out the window as she recalled the sword duel that day, a smile appearing in her eyes.

Was the accident that took away their first kiss intentionally orchestrated by him?

No, it was probably just an accident...

After all, all he could think about was cultivation.

Thinking of this, Momousagi glanced at Tina with a smile.

Falling for that guy must have been tough.

……

At dusk.

As the two women were about to walk out of the streets of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Suddenly, a large number of newspaper-delivering gulls appeared in the sky, and a large number of newspapers fell from the sky.

Momousagi reached out and took one.

The moment she saw the contents clearly, her eyes narrowed sharply.

A look of surprise, barely concealed, appeared on his usually calm and composed face.

"This is……"

"What's wrong? Is there some big news?"

Tina curiously leaned over to take a look.

The moment she saw the headline on the front page, she was startled.

[Fierce Battle in Beihai!]

[The legendary flying pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion, reappears on the high seas!]

[Breaking news! Shiki the Golden Lion and the mysterious traveler Ron the Traveler, who has stirred up a new legend across the seas in recent years, were killed in a fierce battle in the North Blue after seven days!]

[Shiki the Golden Lion, confirmed dead!]

Deeply shaken, Tina looked at Momousagi. The two women stared at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

……

The entire ocean was abuzz with excitement because of this news!

The name Ron the Traveler not only stirred up a storm of discussion in the long-standing legends of the four seas, but also spread throughout the Grand Line and the New World in an instant, resounding in the ears of those great figures and top powerhouses!

……

[P.S.: Tomorrow's plot will be even more explosive, please give me some flowers, reviews, and monthly tickets/subscriptions!]

120, news that shook the seas! (Part 2) (Combined into one chapter)

One of the Four Emperors in the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line.

Whitebeard Pirates.

Aboard Moby Dick.

Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard who is known as the strongest man in the world, was also stunned when he heard the news.

"That Golden Lion Shiki died in the North Sea? Who did it?"

"Dad, it seems to be a guy named Ron."

"Foil," Vista said, looking at the newspaper in his hand.

"Ron? Never heard of that name before."

Whitebeard took a sip of his drink and said, "Another one of those recently emerged pirate supernovas?"

"No, Dad."

Sitting to the side, the bespectacled Marco the Phoenix stared at the newspaper. "He's not a pirate."

"Not a pirate?"

Whitebeard was taken aback. "Is it the Navy?"

Marco shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it."
