The North Sea, one of the four seas, is located on the outside of the New World. It faces the New World across a windless belt, and is separated from the East Sea by the towering red continent.
The North Sea is the destination of the Fire Dragon Pirates. After sending some gold to the Celestial Dragons through Tesoro, Vlad got his wish and got the government to agree to his request. For Vegapunk, Vlad had wanted to do it a long time ago. You have to see it, that man is really extraordinary! The North Sea was the meeting place agreed by Vlad and the government.
Speaking of which, the celestial dragons people are really a group of good people. It was thanks to their help that he became a Shichibukai. Vlad felt a little embarrassed when he thought of burning down their house before.
When the Fire Dragon Pirates came down from the moon, they arrived at the paradise in the first half of the Grand Line. For a normal pirate group, if they want to pass through the Upside Down Mountain in a month, they will have to conquer the endless world. It is really difficult to reach the North Sea with the wind.
But for the Fire Dragon Pirates who own the Platinum Draig Flying ship, such worries are completely unnecessary.
The great sea route full of dangers? The windless zone of a sea king's lair? For ordinary people, it is like a place of death, but for the Fire Dragon Pirates, it is really easy to get through. Being able to fly is really a cheating thing, and this applies no matter where it is placed.
Relying on the speed advantage of the Platinum Draig, it only took Vlad and his gang ten days to get to the North Sea from the Great Route, which was still twenty days short of the agreed month. During these twenty days, Vlad is not willing to just stay on Rubeck Island. It is the largest base of the Navy in the North Sea. Vlad will not go anywhere to find discomfort. Even if his current identity is Shichibukai, he should be considered a member of the Navy. He is one of his own, but in fact such things only need to be talked about. Vlad did not expect the navy to welcome him because of this relationship.
All he had to do was arrive at the appointed time. Vlad decided to take a walk around the North Sea before the appointed time. Maybe he could find a few potential crew members. Now the ship was not empty. There were hundreds of person under the ship. The robot has a strong presence, but it is not a living person after all. The total number of the Fire Dragon Pirates is now five. As a Shichibukai-level pirate group, it is really quite embarrassing.
Pollock Island is a well-known island in the North Sea, but it is not famous as a tourist island. In fact, this island is a fishing city. The specialty of this island is a very delicious fish. The fish named after this island is called Pollock fish.
This kind of fish is extremely delicious. All the fish found so far are difficult to compare with it. The meat is extremely delicious. Even if an ordinary person who doesn't know how to cook boils it with water, he will get a rare and delicious dish. There is no doubt that it is a precious ingredient that all chefs around the world dream of, and a delicacy that all food lovers will never miss.
However, the Pollock fish is a very special fish. The only place that has been found to live is the deep sea near Pollock Island. Perhaps in the legendary sea, the magical sea that contains all the fish in the world All blue, There will still be such fish living, but that is just a legend after all, otherwise the Pollock fish would not be named after this island.
This kind of fish lives in the deep sea and will not easily come to shallow seas. It is really difficult to catch them. In fact, before Pollock Island invented new fishing techniques more than ten years ago, this kind of fish was the only fish in the world. It is rare to see it in the market. Even noble people like Celestial Dragon would find it difficult to taste such delicious food.
Precisely because it is rare, it is precious. The price of Pollock fish once reached a sky-high level, and sporadic catching could not keep up with the huge market demand.
Although it has such precious resources, Pollock Island is not very famous because the production is too small. In many cases, there is no capture record of even one for a year or two.
This was the case until more than ten years ago, when new catching technology was invented. The technology that can easily attract the Pollock fish living in the deep sea to the surface was finally invented! Production increased immediately.
It was from this time on that the world finally realized that this place had such peerless delicacies. Soon, merchants came in droves, and merchant ships began to gather here one after another.
What was originally a remote and backward small fishing village gradually developed into a prosperous ocean city. With Pollock fish as its flagship product, the reputation of the fishing city named Pollock began to spread across the North Sea.
"Wow, what a lush city!"
Vlad sighed, this city completely feels like a city on the water, which is different from the City of Seven Waters, which is also a city on the water. The City of Seven Waters was affected by the huge tsunami, and the foundation continued to sink. , helplessly became a city on the water, but this island is different!
The port is the city! !
The city itself is a huge port. The bustling city is spreading within the huge bay, and waterways extending in all directions travel between the cities! There are no roads that can be walked directly in this city, but only wide waterways that can be used by large ships.
Vlad noticed that There is a small boat docked outside many houses in this city. It is not big. It may be similar to the small boat the Fire Dragon Pirates took when they first set sail from Sabaody.
Without exception, the boats are all equipped with fishing nets and the like. There is no doubt that these boats are fishing boats! While Vlad was moving around in large numbers, there were still many small boats sailing back to the port and docking outside the houses. That was the return of the fishermen.
"This city is so interesting!"
Vlad stood on his Platinum Draig and sighed, "Is it a city completely built on the sea? Or should it be called a port? Fishing has been carved into the bones!"
"Yes, this island is really different!"
The chef standing behind Vlad said excitedly, "I've heard its name since I was a kid!"
"So, chef, is that so-called Pollock fish really that delicious?"
Vlad turned around and said, "We listened to your suggestion and came all the way here just to have a bite of fish!"
"Unbelievably delicious!"
There was a hint of memory on the chef's face, "I've eaten it once, it's delicious food that can make people forget all their worries!"
"Uhahahaha! Really? Then what are you waiting for?"
Vlad said with a smile, "Hurry up and find one to try the taste!"
"It's not that easy -"
The chef smiled bitterly and said, "Even with the technology that can capture it, the yield is still not high. If you can produce two or three fish every day, it is already a bumper harvest!"
"Eh--"
Vlad raised an eyebrow.
That's the time.
"Caught! Pollock caught!!!!"
Such shouts came from the boat on one side.
