The South China Sea, as one of the four seas, seems to have no presence.
There are very few rumors about the South China Sea. Compared to the East China Sea, which has some people in the limelight from time to time, the South China Sea is a little low-key.
But if you say that the South China Sea is weak, the South China Sea is not weak. Sengoku is from the South China Sea.
The climate of the Four Seas is similar and there are not as many changes as the Grand Line. After crossing the Calm Belt from the East China Sea to the Grand Line and crossing the Calm Belt, Kuro reached the South China Sea.
It took more than a month.
This is still a straight-line distance, except for the supply.
"O.C.D. said that the Long Sword Pirates are in the Star Islands, right here…"
In the office of the Golden Lion, there is a sea map of the South China Sea on the table, which roughly depicts the South China Sea.
The more detailed the map is, the better. For such a South China Sea map, it is only a rough look, but they are Marines, they naturally have a detailed map of a certain area.
However, Crowe's direction is very interesting. He pointed to the wide sea far away from most of the islands and land in the South China Sea and near the Calm Belt.
Kuro was stunned. "They are hiding in the open sea?"
The sea area of the four seas, near most of the land and islands, is the active area of most people and also the place where Marines are often active.
However, the open sea is near the Calm Belt and there are no land or islands. From the sea map, even the islands have been removed, leaving only the wide sea symbol.
There must be islands, but no one in a place like the open sea would take the time to draw a sea map because there are few people.
Ships definitely need supplies. Who would deviate from the route and sail towards the open sea?
Beyond the open sea is the Calm Belt. Humans pay attention to the region of the Calm Belt, but Sea Kings are not particular about it. They can go wherever they want in the sea, so the open sea near the Calm Belt is a very dangerous place for humans.
The Calm Belt is not small. From the sea map, the Calm Belt is very small, even the Grand Line is very small. The Grand Line is indeed small compared to the Four Seas. It is just a Grand Line.
But once you go in seriously, you will know that so many countries on the Grand Line are not just decorations. How can they be small? And the overall area of the Calm Belt is a quarter of the Grand Line, so it is naturally very wide.
Only certain technologies can move freely from the Calm Belt. Even Hancock uses the unique avoidance method of Hydra Island. She doesn't dare to fight the Sea King.
After all, it's not a problem to fight a few of them, but the smell of blood will attract more Sea Kings. No matter who it is, they have to avoid it.
"Yes, hidden in the open sea, in this place called the Star Islands. Ó Kádi said this place is very secret."
Crowe said, "Star Islands is a very special island. Its unique geographical environment creates a huge fog in the nearby sea during the day. During the day, nothing can be seen. Only at night will the fog disappear. After night, those islands will emit white light like stars, so they are called Star Islands."
"Now that you mention it, it's a good wonder…"
Kuro touched his chin. "It's a pity that it's in the South China Sea or the outer sea. The industry can't keep up. Otherwise, we can try to develop it."
On the sea, there are all kinds of wonders. This is not unusual.
"Where is that O. Cardi?" Kuro asked.
"He said to wait for us on a small island with only one coconut tree at nine o'clock in the Star Islands," said Crowe.
"Well… Drive over and let our Marine Navigator look at the place." Kuro nodded.
There are basically no detailed sea maps in the outer sea, but in the four seas, navigators can be found with enough experience. The navigators of their Marine are naturally not weak.
Coincidentally, one of the Marine Navigators in this group is from the South China Sea and has heard of the Star Islands. As soon as he heard Crowe's request, he immediately changed course and ran in that direction.
In about five days, the Golden Lion found its destination.
In the wide sea, there is a petrel… No, there is a small island, it is a real island, there is only about ten people standing on it, a lonely coconut tree stands there, there is a person sitting under the tree and there is a small boat next to it.
Seeing the huge Golden Lion approaching, the man was stunned for a moment and then waved his hand crazily.
"It should be him."
Crowe was watching from the deck with a telescope. He compared the bounty again and nodded. "Lean over and pull him up."
The ship quickly approached, lowered the rope, and pulled the person who waved up.
The man was wearing glasses and his bangs covered his forehead. He looked very quiet and gentle. He looked much older than the bounty order. After all, so many years had passed.
It was Ó Kádi!
"Report!"
The moment Ó Kádi came up, he immediately saluted and said: "Marine Headquarters Colonel Ó Kádi, reporting to Sir!"
"It's really you…"
Crowe raised his eyebrows and said, "I am Vice-Admiral of Marine Headquarters, 'Black Wolf' Crowe, you have worked hard. When this operation is over, I will report to the higher-ups and discuss your credit."
He is now a Vice-Admiral, so he is naturally qualified to make a report, or rather, he is good at typing reports.
Mr. Kuro's report was basically done by him.
"Thank you, Vice-Admiral!"
O.C.D. said again and his body suddenly relaxed. He held his stomach and said, "Well, can you let me eat first? I'm too hungry and I've been waiting here for too long. I didn't bring enough food."
"Someone take him to the cafeteria and bring him to Mr. Kuro's office after eating. Mr. Kuro wants to see him."
"Yes!"
A Marine saluted and took Ó Kádi to the canteen, while Crowe turned and went to the other end of the office.
Not long after, the office door was opened. Ó Kádi elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and smiled at the Marine who was escorting him. "Thank you so much. I didn't expect the food here to be so delicious. I haven't eaten Marine canteen food for a long time. I don't know if the recipe has been upgraded or the chef here is better."
The Marine did not speak. After saluting, he left directly.
"Your strength is not bad."
And in that office, a young man wearing a golden suit and a Marine cape, biting a cigar, glanced at him. The voice came out, making O'Cardy's body slightly stiff, and then he smiled gently.
"You must be Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un. Recently, there have been rumors about you on the sea, saying that you attacked the newly promoted Yonkō (Four Emperors) Blackbeard, and that you also fought against the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates. I didn't expect you to come in person. Then this time, the Long Sword Pirates will definitely be destroyed."
