Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration, sir..."

"Old man? That's a pretty good way to address him, hahaha..."

After laughing for a while, Crocus began to draw casually on the sand below with his hand.

"The various islands scattered throughout the Grand Line possess a magnetic force according to a certain pattern..."

"In other words, by using the [Record Pointer] to record the magnetic forces that attract each other between the islands, we can use it to indicate the direction of the next island!"

Chapter 126 Punishing People!

Simply put…

After a pause, Crocus pointed to the rudimentary map he had drawn and said in a deep voice, "In this sea area where even our own location is unknown, we can only rely on the records of the Log Pose!"

"First, the [Record Pointer] will select one of seven magnetic forces emanating from this mountain. Regardless of which island the magnetic forces originate from, they will eventually converge into a single trajectory, ultimately reaching an island called..."

"【Laftan Road】!"

Laftan Road?!

Upon hearing this, Hai's pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.

So that's how it works. But if Laugh Tale were really that easy to find, there would be countless One Piece players by now...

"Laugh Tale is the end of the Grand Line!"

Crocus glanced at Hai with a slightly serious expression and said in a deep voice, "In history, only the pirate crew led by the Pirate King Roger has confirmed the location of that island!"

"This is also the island where the [Great Treasure] you've been searching for is located!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's expressions froze.

"Don't look so serious..."

Waving his hand, Hai smiled and looked at everyone, saying, "I'd heard of [Laftan Road] before, but I didn't expect it to be related to the island's magnetism..."

"At least now we have a clear concept, and we understand our future goals, right?"

"By the way! Grandpa... which direction does this [Log Pointer] lead to?"

"It's the Whisky Hill on the east side of the sea!"

After thinking for a moment, Crocus said in a deep voice, "I recently went to that town to replenish some supplies, and I happened to record enough magnetic force..."

"If you want to go in a different direction, I also have a town called [Carbin Town] that's located to the west of the sea..."

"No need to change, this one is fine!"

He tossed the Log Pointer to Nami, smiled, and waved his hand in refusal.

He still had some impression of Whiskey Hill, a bounty hunter town.

The most crucial question is, which direction should Vivi and Robin be in?

If we choose another route...

Robin, the interpreter of the Poneglyphs, is someone we'll never encounter...

“Grandpa, the barnacles have been cleaned up. We’ve stayed for so long, it’s time for us to get going. We’ll come back to see you again when we have the chance to return home…”

Hahahahahaha!

"I hope I'm still alive by then."

Subsequently.

With Crocus's help, the Merry passed through the massive mechanical iron gate and sailed towards the outside world through the island whale's drainage channel.

……

……

Twin Points.

The reef area to the left rear of the lighthouse.

At that moment, two figures were using binoculars to keep a close eye on the massive island whale that seemed to be sunbathing next to the lighthouse.

"How about it?"

The slender figure on the right, with heavy makeup and holding a long blue ponytail, asked with a somewhat urgent expression, "Has that giant whale not gone mad yet, Mr. 9?"

"No! Miss Wednesday! But..."

Ahead, lying on the rock, a thin man named Mr. 9, wearing a crown-like ornament on his head, dressed in an all-green prince outfit, and with two number 9 mustaches on either side of his face, said in a surprised tone:

"Suddenly, a large door opened on the right rear side of the giant whale, and a ship with a strange pirate flag sailed out..."

"Huh? You're not kidding, are you, Mr. 9!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Wednesday snatched the binoculars and looked in the direction of the giant whale. When she saw that a pirate ship was indeed sailing out from inside, her expression changed.

"No way? Could it be that we waited all this time only to find out we got the wrong target?"

"It's all your fault, Mr. 9. If you hadn't broken the record pointer, we wouldn't have only discovered this situation now..."

"I'm so sorry, Miss Wednesday."

Unwilling to argue, Mr. 9 rolled his eyes, casually apologized, and asked, "So what should we do next? Should we still hunt this giant whale?"

"It doesn't look like the kind of thing you can eat; even boats can come out of it..."

"But now the [record pointer] is broken, so there's no way to go back... Uh, this is getting more and more troublesome..."

"How dare you say that!"

Turning back to glare fiercely at the other person, Miss Wednesday continued to observe, "We've long passed the estimated time to complete the whaling mission. If we don't go back and explain the situation to the boss soon, we're in big trouble... wait..."

After a pause, Miss Wednesday saw through the telescope that an orange-haired woman on the deck was holding a [Record Pointer]. Her expression immediately lit up with excitement.

"Mr. 9! I see it! That pirate ship has a Log Pose! If we can find a way to get it, we'll be able to get back as soon as possible!"

"really?"

However, before Mr. 9 could even show an excited expression...

Click! Click! Click!

High in the sky, a crisp sound of something being gnawed on suddenly came from above.

Uh……

Upon hearing the voice, the two people froze instantly and looked up sharply.

A black-feathered vulture swooped down toward them, and on its back sat a sea otter wearing purple-spotted pajamas and sunglasses, munching on a sturdy shell and coldly watching them.

··· ·Requesting 0 flowers ········

"not good!"

Instantly, cold sweat poured down their faces like rain, and their eyes became unusually serious and panicked.

"It's an unlucky duo! Mr. 13 and Ms. Friday... why did these two company 'punishers' arrive so quickly this time?!"

"Oh no, we're going to be too late to get back!!"

"Quickly explain this to them!"

Immediately, the two shouted upwards.

"Wait a minute! There's a reason for this!!"

"I...we'll report to the boss right away! We didn't betray him, ahhhhh..."

Whoosh!

With a whooshing sound, Ms. Friday, the black-feathered vulture carrying a heavy explosive charge, ignored both of their explanations and, after swooping down to a certain distance, threw the specially made explosive charge at the two on the ground before spreading its wings and flying away into the distance.

... 0th

Snapped!

To the utter horror of the two men, the explosive charge thrown at them ignited its fuse mid-air, and as it drew closer, the fuse grew shorter and shorter.

Upon seeing this, the two men's expressions changed, and they immediately fled desperately into the nearby sea.

next moment.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The roar of the explosion resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.

The intense burst of fireworks violently threw the two of them off balance.

Beside the lighthouse.

Hai and his group, who had just delivered Crocus to the lighthouse and were preparing to depart, also heard the loud explosion.

"You have other people with you?" Hai looked at Crocus with suspicion.

"It's definitely another bounty hunter from Whiskey Hill..."

Seeing the huge commotion in the distance, Crocus frowned, looking somewhat annoyed.
