As the group left the orange grove, Nami was waiting there, holding an orange tree about 50 inches in diameter. She was damp with dew, indicating that she had been waiting there for a long time.
"Nami."
Connie and Robin were somewhat surprised.
Nami smiled brightly at them and said, "Let me take you to the shore."
She carried the orange tree all the way to the shore before handing it to Connie.
"Your kindness to our Cocoyasi village is something I can never repay now. This orange tree was planted by Bellemere and me, and it is my most precious treasure. I hope you will accept it."
Connie looked at Nami, who was standing in front of her with a serious expression, and then glanced at Ron.
Ron nodded. "Take it."
Connie then took the orange tree from Nami's hand, and a bright and cheerful smile appeared on Nami's face.
After Connie, Robin, and Seven boarded the ship.
Wearing a black hooded coat and a black knife at his waist, Ron stood on the shore and glanced at the tall building of Arlong Paradise not far away.
His left hand casually rested on the hilt of the black sword at his left waist, and he turned to Nami beside him, saying, "Didn't you say before that you couldn't imagine how strong someone stronger than Conis and the others could be?"
Nami nodded, looking at him with some confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Since you waited so long this morning, I'll let you see what I've got to see."
As Ron spoke, he lightly drew the black sword from his waist with his left hand, and under Nami's puzzled gaze, casually slashed towards Arlong Park before sheathing the sword.
With a clang, the black sword was completely sheathed.
A fierce wind was blowing along the coast, and the seawater was surging outwards in all directions.
Nami stared in stunned disbelief as her hair was whipped wildly by the wind.
A jet-black flying slash, with an incredibly violent and ferocious momentum, advanced forward, slashing straight towards the tall building hundreds of meters away.
The mountains and forests along the way were all divided by a line, and the earth was cracked with an extremely neat crack, as if it had been cut with a ruler!
As the dark slash advanced, the tall building in Alon Paradise was sliced in two like tofu before the dark sword energy. Then, countless cracks spread outwards from the cut and the building began to collapse completely.
"this……?!!"
Witnessing this scene firsthand, Nami, deeply shocked, couldn't help but swallow hard.
Is this his strength? Is this the strength of the captain of Connie's ship?!
How astonishing!
Is this really a power that humans can control?
Compared to this power, what exactly is someone like Ah Long?
Nami found it hard to imagine.
That seemingly gentle and leisurely black-haired boy, who was only a few years older than her, actually possessed such terrifying power!
The boy who was willing to listen to her so quietly was actually such a powerful expert?!
"Ron, you..."
When she came to her senses and turned around, Ron, who had been standing next to her, had disappeared.
Nami was taken aback, only then realizing that the boat that was moored at the shore had already moved nearly a hundred meters away from the coast.
Connie and Robin, who were leaning on the railing on the deck of the Voyager in the distance, saw her looking over and smiled and waved at her.
Goodbye, Nami.
110, The Legend of the East Sea, The Miracle Ship and Ron the Traveler
A month later.
Early spring.
The year is 1515 of the Sea Calendar, five years before the start of the original story.
Ron is 15, Connie is 16, and Nicole Robin is 23.
After leaving Cocoyasi Village, they traveled in the East China Sea for a period of time.
Later, when the Voyager approached the island where Ron first came to this world, Ron secretly went back to visit it.
Everything was peaceful on the island. Harris and Aunt Mary had a child, and Mars had started a family. The pirate crew that was impersonating Arlong Pirates never came back after that.
Ron felt somewhat relieved. After leaving a large sum of money for both Harris's father and Mars, he quietly left.
In the following months, after signing off on about twenty more islands in the East China Sea, the Voyager departed the East China Sea.
Meanwhile, as they defeated the Arlong Pirates and various other pirate crews, large and small, their fame had unknowingly spread throughout the East Blue.
They are not a pirate crew, not a bounty hunter, not a marine, and certainly not a revolutionary army member. They have no fixed abode on the sea and drift from place to place.
Like an unmoored boat adrift on the sea, no one knows where they will go, where they will appear, or what they will do.
Mysterious, unknown, powerful, and aloof.
Especially the mysterious captain of that ship of freedom.
Ron the Traveler.
This name has been circulating among the various islands, and in the East China Sea, it's starting to resemble a legend...
Ron himself knew nothing about any of this.
However, if he knew, he would probably find it even more incomprehensible.
He was just checking in on various islands and teaching some ignorant pirates and bounty hunters a lesson. How did he become a legend?
After arriving in the South China Sea.
The island climate, customs, and food, which are different from those in the East Blue, were all new and exciting for Ron, Connie, and Robin.
So they went on another big shopping spree, filling the Voyager's food storage area to the brim.
Then we went to the next island.
During that time, they also encountered some foolish pirates.
The pirates in the South China Sea are generally stronger than those in the East China Sea, but that's about it.
It was only a chance for Connie and Seven to hone their skills; Ron didn't even have the desire to make a move.
……
While Ron and his men were running rampant in the South China Sea.
Malinvando.
Marshal Sengoku summoned Garp.
Three reports were handed to him.
"what is this?"
Garp opened the door with a puzzled look, and Ron's name came into view. Garp's eyes narrowed slightly.
Sengoku, sitting behind the table with his hands crossed on the surface, said: “One is a statement from one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria; another is a statement from one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile; and the third is a report recently submitted from the East Blue regarding his actions in the East Blue.”
Garp quickly finished reading, then grinned, revealing his big white teeth. "Hahaha, he actually managed to teach Crocodile and Moria a lesson, forcing them to complain to the Marines. That kid's pretty capable."
"An attack on one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea without causing any casualties shouldn't be considered a big deal."
He put down the report in his hand and looked at Sengoku, saying, "The report submitted by the East Blue should be fine, right? He's just teaching some ignorant pirates a lesson and leisurely wandering around. What's wrong with that?"
"These are all fine, not worth pursuing."
Zhan Guo said in a deep voice, "But there is only one problem."
"what?"
Karp pulled out a bag of senbei from somewhere, opened it, and started eating.
"Among his crew members, there is a suspected survivor of Ohara, Nico Robin, who has a bounty of 79 million Berries."
Garp paused slightly as he ate his senbei: "Nicole Robin?"
"good."
Sengoku narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Regarding this, Garp, do you have anything to say?"
"That kid really caused some trouble."
Garp scratched his head in annoyance. "Are you sure that's Nico Robin? Sengoku."
"I heard they've appeared in the South China Sea, and Aokiji has already gone there."
Sengoku rested his hands on the table, his eyes behind his glasses fixed on Garp: "If it's confirmed that person really is Nico Robin..."
"So what if it's confirmed?"
Garp took a bite of his senbei and glanced at Sengoku: "At worst, we can just bring Nico Robin back, or are we just going to treat him as a criminal because of this?"
“Garp, you should understand that if he protects Nico Robin… that would indeed be a crime.”
The Warring States period was marked by a somber atmosphere.
