"The island of music, Elegia, a dream place for musicians from all over the world!"
The blue sky.
White clouds.
The warm sea breeze.
A ship sails on the sea, cutting through the waves, followed by a few seagulls that occasionally rest on the mast.
Leno looked at Rogge's chart.
This is a fairly complete East Blue chart, with each island marked and described in the logbook.
Luwell's father, Rogge, is undoubtedly a great adventurer.
He devoted himself to charting the world's seas.
He spent almost ten years traveling to every corner of East Blue, and wrote more than a dozen related books.
In the end, he exchanged the royal family's funding on the condition that he hand over the East Blue sea chart to the Kingdom of Oiket.
He set out on the Grand Line in the name of the adventurer of the Royal House of Oykot.
But, it was a scam.
K Rogge, instead of handing over the well-drawn charts to the Oykot royals, used fake ones instead.
Because he knew that the royal family of Oykot wanted the chart in order to launch wars against other islands and countries.
By the time the Oykot royals found out, Rogge had disappeared.
His nautical charts and logbooks drifted to a deserted island during a storm and were obtained by Higuma, Barry, and others who were in distress.
Although relying on the chart, Higuma and the others survived.
But the fear of the storm made Higuma put all these in a box to collect dust.
Until, they were discovered by Leno.
In Rogge's logbook, there is a detailed description of their destination, Elegia.
It was a happy, beautiful, music-filled island.
Rogge described his love for the island and a legend there in extremely beautiful words:
Tot Musica!
But!
Rogge must never have imagined that the holy place in his heart was turned into ruins just last year.
This is how it was described in East Blue's news:
"Nation Destruction Event!!!"
"Red Hair Pirates ransacked the island of music, seized the treasure, and killed everyone on the island!"
Shanks, who was not very well-known at first, was dubbed the title of "Nation Destroyer," and his bounty skyrocketed.
Leno looked at the chart.
It takes about five days to set off from Keto Island to Elegia, and a resupply is needed on the way.
Meat and fresh water are fine, but fruits and vegetables are crucial.
The inability to supplement vitamins is the most painful thing for the crew.
On the deck, Kuina, Luwell, and Kuro were training separately.
After experiencing the Goa Kingdom and its party, they were eager to practice more and conduct stronger special training.
To this end, Leno made a detailed training plan for the three of them.
Kuina, needless to say, prioritizes swordsmanship and Observation Haki.
Luwell, who develops Devil Fruit, focuses on Armament Haki training.
Zoan and Armament Haki are more compatible.
In addition, she also has the talent of [Spider Web Perception], so the development of Observation Haki can be postponed.
Kuro undergoes physical training, develops knowledge, armament, and tries to control the power left by the demon sword.
Leno himself is also training, focusing on the practice of Observation Haki, coupled with the newly acquired [Freezing] talent.
These trainings speed up the consumption of food.
The good news is, having the [Freezing] talent means there will be no shortage of water.
Luwell was exhausted, suspended her training, resumed her human form, came to Leno, and glanced at the map.
She picked up the Coke with ice, took a sip, and made a refreshing sound.
"Leno, what are we going to Elegia for?" she asked curiously, "Isn't it destroyed?"
Leno laughed and said, "We are going there because it was destroyed. We need an island of our own!"
Glass Ball Island is only a temporary place to stay; it is the place of DOSKOIPANDA, not theirs.
In other places, either the islands are too small to be suitable, or they are already under the jurisdiction of kingdoms, the Marines, or other forces.
Only Elegia!
This island, which was exterminated last year, has remained secret due to various ominous rumors and stories.
I heard that even the Marines did not station there, and the World Government stopped paying attention after a brief report.
It seems that there are dreadful monsters there.
The red-haired diva!
"The place where we will replenish fruits and vegetables is also an interesting place!" Luwell said.
Leno's eyes moved to the next island.
The island of acrobatics!
Kingdom of Ekribatis!
At the port, the ship slowly approached the shore.
"Is this the island of acrobatics?"
Buggy, with his signature red nose, stood on the boat.
He shaded his eyes with his hand, overlooking the entire island.
The island of acrobatics consists of five peripheral sub-islands and a main island.
Looking down from the sky, it looks like a large acrobatic troupe composed of different performance parts in a circle.
The sky between the islands is connected by a steel cable, which is called the "Walking on the Clouds" cableway.
People riding unicycles come and go on it.
Certainly, on the ground, there is also a passable trestle for guests who come to the island of acrobatics.
"Hey, Buggy, come and move something!"
"Today is the acrobatics conference on the island of acrobatics. Acrobatic troupes from all over East Blue gather to perform together."
"The acrobatic troupe that wins first place will be awarded the title of [King of Acrobatics] and a bonus of 100 million Belly!"
"Although there was a storm on the way, fortunately, we still caught up."
"Hey, Buggy! Are you listening?"
"Come on, come on, really."
Buggy and his circus crew just got off the boat.
Suddenly, a man riding a unicycle fell from the sky.
His hair covered his left eye, he wore a scarf and a cloak, and said, "I'm Cabaji, do you need help?"
Just as Buggy was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion not far away, and even Cabaji's eyes were drawn to it.
A ship docks.
A blood-colored flag with a dragon-shaped logo hangs on the mast, rolling in the wind, as if a black dragon was flying in the wind.
The crowd suddenly boiled.
"Hunter Guild!!!"
"It is the most vivid banner in the newspapers these days, defeating the powerful monster of Marine Vice Admiral Kuzan!"
"Be a hunter and hunt your dreams!"
Hearing these words, Buggy looked confused and said to Cabaji: "Hey, what are they talking about? What hunter?"
Cabaji glanced at him sideways, thinking he must have come from the countryside.
"The island of acrobatics is so enthusiastic!"
Leno and Kuina were immediately surrounded by crowds as soon as they got off the boat, and reporters frantically took pictures.
This was the first public appearance after the Hunter Guild became famous.
"Wow, as the rumors say, the Hunter's Guild is definitely not vicious guys like pirates."
"Master Leno is so handsome!"
"Who is that lady? She is so beautiful!"
All kinds of praises filled the pier.
"It's disgusting that these guys get more attention than Mr. Buggy." Buggy was envious and resentful.
