Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

The diligent early-rising news birds fly freely, and newspapers are spread everywhere.

Although the nobles wanted to completely block this news, commoners in many countries around the world learned of the shocking events that took place in faraway Alabasta.

“Big event!!!”

"What? The world's noble Celestial Dragon has become a vegetable!? Did he eat a plant fruit?..."

"Pirate, how audacious you are!"

People of all kinds expressed different opinions, some secretly cheered, some were terrified, and so on.

Although everyone said different things, deep down they had a relatively unified idea, which was madness.

These two big words floated in their hearts, unable to calm down.

At the same time, an indescribable emotion and thought quietly grew and gradually spread in the hearts of many people.

On the surface, the Celestial Dragons have never been attacked head-on like this before. Even though there have been similar incidents such as the Island of Gods in the past, the relevant information and the truth were always blocked or distorted.

However, this time the incident took place in Alabasta, and many citizens and navy officers witnessed the entire process.

And for some reasons, it is impossible for the World Government to directly destroy Alabasta to block the news.

With a twist of a certain birdman's mouth and a wave of his hand, the freshly-baked newspapers flew in all directions.

……

In the New World, the pirates entrenched in various places all smiled with different meanings after seeing the news.

However, they soon put it out of their minds, because they all had their own calculations, and the beating of a mere Celestial Dragon was not enough to make them fuss.

Aboard Moby Dick.

"There's trouble again, but this time Ace didn't seem to be mentioned..."

As usual, he was checking the newspaper handed to him by the intelligence officer and said in a low voice.

Marco was a little worried. After all, Jerry and the others were his friends, and Ace was his family. It had only been a short time, and so many things had happened.

He looked at the latest bounty order for the Kuroko Pirates in his hand and frowned slightly: "Dad, is it okay for them to continue doing this?"

After learning the whole story, Whitebeard took a sip of the wine in the bottle and laughed heartily, "Gulala, what's the problem? That little brat, can he cause more trouble than beating up the Celestial Dragons?"

He was not worrying too much. It was not a big deal as he had offended the Celestial Dragons before.

……

Navy Headquarters, in the large conference room.

Sengoku covered his forehead and whispered, "It's them again! Sure enough, our initial view was correct. That pirate group doesn't seem to be very hostile, but they are a restless bunch."

"First it was Moriah from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, then the provocation from the Seven Water Cities, then the Golden Lions, and now it's directly to the Celestial Dragons..."

"Haha, that's true. But I'm going to go back for a long vacation. It's none of my business." Karp acted as if it was none of his business and just ate and drank well.

"Didn't Borsalino set off? Any news?" Glaring at Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru said while tapping the table.

Zhan Guo leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly, "It's said that they are still chasing, but I don't think it's that simple."

Akainu Sakaski snorted expressionlessly, "Polsalino failed to capture them last time. This time, on the sea, the hope will be even slimmer."

The Kuroko Pirates' ability to escape at sea is apparently no secret within the navy. Not to mention Akainu's level, many of the officers below are well aware of their intelligence.

Even so, after the attack on the Celestial Dragons in Alabasta, the World Government immediately assigned Kizaru to go there immediately, because he was famous for his speed.

……

For several days, the Kuroko Pirates played hide-and-seek with Kizaru in the sea, and finally, the yellow color that Brook disliked was no longer seen.

"See, I told you he couldn't stay here with us forever. He captured a lot of pirates, enough to report back to his superiors."

Above the moonlit sea, Jerry brought the boat to the surface again. After not seeing any movement for half a day, he spread out his hands and said with a prophetic look.

"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. Then why did we get chased by that yellow monkey for more than three days?" Kalina said bluntly.

"Oh... I see! He wants syrup!" A light bulb suddenly lit up in Jerry's head, he pointed his finger and suddenly realized.

"I say, where are we?" Zeus looked around, trying to identify his current location, but to no avail.

There was calm sea all around the boat, with no wind or waves, and no identifiable objects or reference points.

Jerry wagged his finger. "You don't understand, do you? What's this about part-time navigator? It's really unreliable."

Then, he straightened his chest and raised his chin slightly, "Why don't you ask the magical conch...well, ask the new generation of trendsetters?"

"Okay, Tide Surfer, where are we now?" Deuce rolled his eyes.

Jerry looked around pretentiously and said confidently, "Humph! From what I've observed, we are most likely still on the Grand Line."

"Get out! Everyone knows that your mother is a woman, why are you talking nonsense!" Kalina had a tic-tac-toe sign on her forehead and roared at Jerry.

Jerry put away his frivolous smile and said to Deuce and the others in a more serious tone:

"Ahem, well, I don't know exactly where it is, but it's definitely closer to the Twin Capes than before."

"Although I took a lot of detours these days to avoid Kizaru, in the general direction, I'm still heading west."

As he spoke, he pointed to the starry night sky and said, "The wind and waves here have weakened, and the weather has stabilized. We probably have entered the waters of a certain island. Let's rest for a night and see what happens tomorrow."

"Alright, it's really getting late, let's just leave it at that for now."

Hearing what Deuce said, Ace blinked and stroked his belly and said:

"Ah? Aren't you going to have a party to celebrate your escape?"

"Then come!"

"Yo-ho-ho, soul band, request to assemble!"

"Oh!"

Come to think of it, Brooke did propose to form a band. He himself is proficient in many instruments, Kalina is a singer as a secondary job, Deuce can play the piano, and Scar also knows a little about playing some instruments.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Jerry said that he was very familiar with fishing rods and fishing lines, and could try to play the erhu or violin. However, he was talking nonsense and had no foundation at all.

And because the ability of the fruit makes it easy to create various light effects, after being assigned to the atmosphere group with Ace, Cavendish said that it was easy for him to play musical instruments. After all, he was born a prince of a country.

As for Carrot and Kodaz, Brook let them play freely, just jump and play as they pleased.

So, in the end, everyone found that the only ones who had no talent to fit into the band were Jerry and Ace.

Of course, what they are best at is forcing things to happen. If they really want to play in a band with everyone, they have plenty of ideas, but there is no guarantee that the ideas will not be bad.

The pirate group's banquet soon kicked off on the deck. For this purpose, the Kuroko specially prepared a retractable barbecue stove, hidden small stools and other convenient facilities.
