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

"Hahaha, so you're blaming me again?"

Garp let out a hearty laugh.

Somewhat annoyed, Sengoku returned to his seat.

"Since you haven't found them, I'll send someone else instead."

"Send someone else? Are there enough people available in the New World and the Grand Line right now?" Garp interjected.

At this point, Zhan Guo did not dwell on it, but instead fell into deep thought.

Indeed, in the New World, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido of the Beasts are already showing signs of becoming emperors, and with the rapidly rising Red-Haired Pirates... the New World can be described as a place where various forces are vying for power, and chaos is rampant. A large number of the Navy's high-end combat forces have been transferred there.

The Grand Line cannot be ignored either, as one supernova pirate after another emerges, each one a source of trouble.

Zhan Guo's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Aokiji, draped in a cloak of justice, put his hands back in his pockets, looked at Sengoku, and said, "Um..."

Sengoku looked up at him, and Garp also looked up at him.

"I think we can put this matter aside for now."

Aokiji stared directly at Sengoku-do.

"You mean you're going to leave Nico Robin alone, ignoring the Ohara remnants with a bounty of 79 million Berries?"

Zhan Guo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Her threat to the Navy is her potential ability to decipher the Poneglyphs; in terms of actual combat power, she's practically nothing to them," Aokiji said lazily. "If she becomes Ron's ally now, running around with him in the East and South China Seas, where will she go to decipher the Poneglyphs?"

"So I think it's better to leave Nico Robin alone than to let her enter the Grand Line and the New World and become the target of those powerful pirate forces."

"We don't need to put the Navy and Ron, who might become Nico Robin's ally, in a confrontational situation because of this. That would probably make things even more difficult to handle."

After listening to Aokiji's words, Sengoku lowered his head and began to ponder.

indeed.

Compared to Nico Robin being fought over by a group of powerful pirates in the New World who all aimed to become king, this made the chaos on the high seas even more intense.

Keeping her by Ron's side, in the far reaches of the New World, far from the center of the chaos, is undoubtedly a better solution.

only……

"Can you guarantee they won't enter the Grand Line or the New World?"

"That cannot be guaranteed."

Aokiji casually remarked, "But by then, the chaos in the New World should have stabilized somewhat, and our Navy should be able to free up some resources..."

Sengoku thought for a moment, then looked at Garp, who was eating a donut with an expression that said "It's none of my business," and asked, "Garp, what do you think?"

"do not know."

Karp picked his nose. "Besides, didn't you tell me to shut up?"

Veins bulged on the forehead of a Warring States period figure.

This guy……

He took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with this book-keeping enthusiast. He placed his hands on the table, crossed them, and looked at Aokiji seriously, saying:

"Then let's handle this matter according to your suggestion for now. We must keep Nico Robin's whereabouts under tight control and absolutely not let them leak to those troublesome guys in the New World."

116, The Nameless Ship That Ventured into the Western Sea, The Ice Continent (Two-in-One)

South China Sea.

Bonnie persisted, revealing her firm desire to board the ship and offering to take on all the cleaning duties.

Ron finally agreed to let her board the ship.

Jewelry Bonney, who ate a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit of unknown origin, gaining the ability to age herself and others through touch, officially becomes the sixth crew member on the Voyager. (Including Kung Fu Dugong Xiao Qi)

After traveling around the South China Sea for a year, the group arrived at the West China Sea, the birthplace of the Mafia.

In the year 1516 of the Sea Calendar, Ron was 16 years old.

Many things happened this year, the most famous of which was the rise of the Red-Haired Pirates in the New World, which became the fourth Yonko-level force after the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and Kaido's Beasts Pirates!

A new world has emerged where the Four Emperors are divided and vying for power.

At this point, the power struggles on the high seas gradually stabilized.

This creates a relationship of mutual checks and balances among the Four Emperors, the Navy, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Of course, this is only a superficial stability; behind the scenes, friction and struggle between various forces continue to occur.

And none of this has anything to do with Ron yet.

He is currently traveling and adventuring through the world of the Mafia with Robin, Connie, Kung Fu Dugong Seven, and Bonnie, who joined a year ago, checking in on various islands in the West Blue.

It must be said that the mafia and pirates in the West Blue have grown stronger through fighting and gun battles, and their strength is clearly a level higher than that of the peaceful East Blue and South Blue.

This day marks the fourth month since I arrived in the Western Sea.

Ron and his crew encountered the Flame Tank Pirates, who had already made a name for themselves in the West Blue.

Its captain is Capone Bege, the ninth of the 11 Supernovas after the start of the future storyline, and a user of the Castle-Castle Fruit.

The current bounty is 88 million Berries.

When the two sides clashed, Bege was leading the Flame Tank Pirates in a relentless bombardment of the Iron Axe Pirates, who were colluding with the rival mafia and trying to wipe them out in one fell swoop. The sea roared with cannon fire, and more than a dozen pirate ships burned on the surface, turning the sea a fiery red.

Ron and his companions, who were passing by at the time, stopped nearby and watched the battle unfold.

Upon spotting the unnamed vessel observing from a distance, Becky, aroused by murderous intent, immediately ordered it to be bombarded.

And then... no more.

Without Ron even lifting a finger, Conis, Robin, Seven, and Bonney, whose strength had increased considerably after a year of travel, wiped out the Flame Tank Pirates, who had just won a great victory.

Such are the ups and downs of life.

Seeing that he was about to perish under the combined attack of Conis and Robin, a panicked Bege paid the price of a Devil Fruit and all his wealth to save his life from Conis.

He was then turned into a child by Bonney and taken back to his castle on an island with Ron and the others, where he obtained all the wealth Becky had collected so far, worth approximately 500 million Berries.

It's a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but unfortunately it's just a regular one.

In front of Becky, Ron fed the fruit to the cloud fox standing on Connie's shoulder.

After consuming the Bird-Bird Fruit, a common Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Cloud Fox Sisi's body instantly grew several times larger, sitting there almost as tall as Robin, who is 1.88 meters tall.

It also grew a pair of snow-white wings, which, when spread out, could carry people in flight.

The snow-white tail becomes even larger and fluffier, enough for someone to lie on, with an excellent feel, the kind that fur lovers will absolutely find irresistible.

After eating the Bird-Bird Fruit, the Cloud Fox Sisi seemed to have completely transcended the species of Cloud Fox and become a peculiar creature that could fly in the sky. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her a Celestial Fox.

Connie, Robin, and Bonnie were all absolutely delighted by Sisi's transformation, burying their faces in her body and rubbing against her, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Kungfu Manatee Xiaoqi also loves its soft, fluffy tail, and it's incredibly comfortable to bury itself in it while sleeping.

As agreed, Ron spared Bege's life after receiving the money and the Devil Fruit.

But this incident also made the name of this nameless ship famous throughout the Western Sea.

Based on descriptions from people who have visited the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

They immediately connected this powerful, unknown, aimless, and nameless ship with the mysterious ship rumored in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

Rumors and legends about the mysterious ship soon spread throughout the Western Sea.

The name of Ron the Traveler, captain of that mysterious ship, spread throughout the islands of the Western Sea.

After learning that the once-powerful Flame Tank Pirates had been suddenly wiped out, and that Captain Bege was extremely secretive about the ship, the various mafias and pirates in the West Blue became even more vigilant, fearful, and awe-inspiring about the mysterious vessel. They ordered their subordinates to be cautious when encountering unknown and solitary ships and to avoid conflicts with them as much as possible.

……

This made Ron and his companions' subsequent journey in the West Sea much more peaceful and uneventful.

In the last few months of this year.

Ron and his companions arrived at the Flower Kingdom, located in the eastern part of the Western Sea.

After setting foot on this large island where the Flower Kingdom is located.

Ron's health points have officially reached 3000.

Armament Haki has also reached level 6.

In terms of swordsmanship, he has progressed from the minor achievement of the Iron-Cutting Realm to mastery. Although he cannot be called a great swordsman, he is still among the top swordsmen.

this day.

When Ron led Connie Robin and the others through the Ice Continent.

In the distance, a tall, imposing figure could be seen repeatedly striking the smooth, hard, green ice with his head, surrounded by a number of people.

The frozen earth trembled with each impact.

Connie looked over there with a face full of curiosity and said:
