Dressrosa.
Inside the palace.
Doflamingo sat there, holding a crystal goblet in his hand. There was no evil smile on his face, but a sullen expression, with his brows tightly knitted together.
Top cadre Torrebol, who was standing next to him like a paste, also had an ugly expression.
"It's unbelievable...Senior is actually in a place like the East China Sea..."
Doflamingo is the king of the Shichibukai, and Senior and the pirates under his command are not subject to bounties by the government. The bounty orders have also been withdrawn and will not be re-issued. In other words, Ron is not acting as a The pirate hunter hunted down Senor, but instead snatched the Devil Fruit!
Stealing the Devil Fruit that Don Quixote obtained in the East China Sea!
"I didn't expect that the pirate hunter from the East China Sea was so powerful that even Senior had an accident... Dover, do you want me to come?"
Standing at the door, a man standing leaning against the door spoke indifferently. He was Diamandi, one of the top cadres of the Don Quixote family.
Doflamingo put down the goblet in his hand.
"No."
"There's no point in going to the East China Sea."
The East China Sea is too large. Just as the Navy headquarters has nothing to do with the pirates in the East China Sea who have a bounty of 10 to 20 million, a pirate hunter in the East China Sea is also very troublesome for them.
It would be fine if Ron was just an ordinary weakling, but now Senior has fallen into Ron's hands inexplicably, which means that not just anyone can deal with him.
It would be meaningless to ask Diamandi to go to the East China Sea and chase Ron all over the sea. He might not be able to catch him for half a year.
"No matter what method was used, since he was able to defeat Senior and take away the Devil Fruit... Such a guy will not stay in the East China Sea forever."
"wait."
"Wait for him to come to the Grand Line."
For a person with this level of strength, it is impossible to stay in the East China Sea and be a pirate hunter, because if the other party is for money, that kind of strength is enough to rule an area in the East China Sea.
No matter whether the other party rules a sea area in the East China Sea, or leaves the East China Sea and embarks on the great sea route, it will be much easier to find the other party at that time. There is no need to scan the East China Sea like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"We can only wait."
Torebol shook his nose, turned to look at Diamandi, and said: "Otherwise, run to the East China Sea. I don't know how long it will take to solve the problem. There is still a transaction over there that Diamandi needs to be responsible for. Woolen cloth."
Diamandi shrugged.
Although Senior's death made him very angry, and he was extremely annoyed and wanted to go to the East China Sea, but if you think about it carefully, going to the East China Sea is indeed very troublesome. Even if their intelligence organization is very powerful, I am afraid that going there is not enough. At least a few months.
And there is nothing wrong with Doflamingo and Torebol's ideas. He also thinks that it is impossible for people like Ron to hide in the East China Sea.
"Then, just wait at the Grand Line."
Diamandi snorted coldly. The Grand Route is not the East China Sea. There are only a few fixed routes. Once the information is obtained, it is easy to find the other party.
…
The energy of the Devil Fruit was extracted.
If these words were said to people who had come into contact with Devil Fruits on the Grand Line, they would definitely arouse a sense of surprise and disbelief. However, for Nami, who had never come into contact with Devil Fruits before, but was exposed to magic first, she just felt a little... magic.
And after the miracle, she couldn't help but complain: "But the value of a Devil Fruit is said to be more than 100 million Baileys!"
Ron curled his lips and said: "The more you become stronger, the more money you can get."
Sometimes he doesn't quite understand why people like Garp don't eat Devil Fruits. Garp is already the top powerhouse in the sea even if he doesn't eat the fruit. If he eats another Devil Fruit, even if it only increases his strength a little, it will be extremely terrifying. of.
"Where are you going this time?"
Nami thought about what Ron said and it made sense. She turned to look at Ron and said, "Is it the Grand Line?"
Ron had already said about going to the Grand Line half a month ago, if he hadn't happened to get the news about the Devil Fruit on the way.
Ron pondered for a moment.
Although he has decided to go to the Grand Line, how to get there is still a small problem. After all, he has killed Don Quixote's cadres and snatched the Devil Fruit, which is considered a big feud with the Don Quixote family.
Maybe as soon as they enter the Grand Line, they will be hunted down by Don Quixote.
Ron, an ordinary cadre, is naturally not afraid, but top cadres are in trouble. If Doflamingo comes to chase him personally, it will be even more difficult to escape. Although the possibility is unlikely, even a small risk will It’s something worth pondering.
But if you stay in the East China Sea, it is impossible to rely solely on training to the point where you are not afraid of Doflamingo. You may not be able to do it in ten years, and you can't wait until Luffy defeats Doflamingo. Let’s go to the Grand Line again.
Ron didn't ponder this question for long.
He quickly thought of a route.
"Nami, do you have a map of the world's oceans?"
"have."
Nami brought over a large chart, which only marked a small number of scattered islands, as well as the Great Route and the Red Earth Continent that cut the world into four parts.
In addition, the entrance to the Grand Line is also marked on the nautical chart.
After looking at the chart, Ron suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle of the Grand Route, the red earth continent that divided the Grand Route into the first half and the second half, and said: "Go here first, and then walk along here. "
"well?"
Nami was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want to enter the Grand Route via the Red Earth Continent?"
"No, let's go to sea."
Ron's eyes flickered slightly and he spoke.
The corners of Nami's mouth trembled and she glared: "That's impossible! The Grand Route is wrapped in a windless zone. There is no sea breeze in the windless zone, and it is also the nest of the Sea Kings!"
Although she had never been to the Grand Line, she still knew this common sense information.
Ron spread his hands and said: "That's why we have to rely on the Red Earth Continent. If we encounter any accidents, we can also settle on the Red Earth Continent. Look at the scope of the windless zone. If we go at full speed, it should only take a day to cross it. "
Although there is no wind in the Windless Zone, the first-level wind magic he masters also includes the violent wind technique, which can be used to power the ship.
As for the Neptune class... If the ship is destroyed, then he can fly directly there with Nami. With his current mental strength, there is no problem in carrying Nami and flying for a day and a night, and damn On the Red Earth Continent, you can go up and stay at any time.
"It does make sense..."
Nami muttered, but then she showed an expression like a little devil and said with claws and teeth: "But why do we have to cross the Windless Belt into the Grand Line!"
Ron shrugged and said: "Because the Devil Fruit was snatched from the hands of the Don Quixote family. The person behind the Don Quixote family is one of the Seven Seas of Martial Arts under the King. If you enter the entrance and enter the Grand Line, it may be very dangerous." He will be hunted down soon.”
“…”
The corner of Nami's mouth twitched.
Although she didn't know much about the Grand Line, she often read newspapers and knew about the existence of the Shichibukai. She knew that they were seven extremely terrifying pirates on the Grand Line. They had signed an agreement with the World Government and had the power to legally plunder.
Before entering the Grand Line, he has already offended the King Shichibukai!
Nami is a little desperate.
"I've offended the King's Shichibukai... Even if I cross the Windless Belt, there's no point." Nami said weakly with tears streaming down her face.
"meaningful."
Ron smiled and said: "If you cross here, you can reach... the Navy Headquarters!"
