Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

"Jellal, how long will it take us to reach the Grand Line?"

After setting out to sea, Kuina seemed extremely excited and was looking forward to the scene after arriving at the Grand Line.

Compared to the peaceful East China Sea, she yearns for the swordplay and bloodshed of the Grand Route.

Jellal rode his bicycle and looked in the direction of the Red Earth Continent and said calmly, "About ten days. Our Nine Snakes Pirates will set sail in a month. We will make it in time."

As soon as he arrived at the Shimoshiki Village, Jellal told Kuina that he was a pirate.

Neither Kuina nor Koshiro had a bad impression of Jellal's identity as a pirate.

In this world, many people aim to go out to sea, and some even take pride in becoming a pirate.

Going out to sea and becoming a pirate is the symbol of a warrior!

"Half a month?"

Kuina's eyes were bright and she seemed to be impatient.

She was eager to meet her captain, Boa Hancock, as soon as possible!

During the time that Jellal came to Isshin Dojo, she had heard this name from Jellal many times!

Gerard said that the Captain is very strong!

Jellal is no match for the captain! (Jellal: I gave her the Love Fruit. I can't help it. Who made me fall in love with her?)

She had seen Jellal's strength before, and the sight of him cutting the sea with one sword left a deep impression on her.

But Gerard said he was no match for the captain!

This made Kuina extremely excited.

"Kuina, even though I've told you this many times, I'm still going to ask you again. Life as a pirate is very cruel. Every day you have to kill or be killed. Are you sure you can adapt to this?"

In the Grand Line, countless pirates die in battles almost every day. Compared to the East China Sea, the Grand Line may be hell! "Jellal stopped his bicycle and turned back to whisper to Kuina.

Gerard wasn't exaggerating.

Compared with people in other seas, people living in the East China Sea are almost as weak as sheep.

The East China Sea is indeed calmer than other seas, and the number and quality of pirates cannot be compared with those in the other three seas.

But people here don’t live that well. Some places are very peaceful, but their lives are even worse than in the North Sea where there are many pirates!

In the more than one month since Jellal came to the East China Sea, he went to many islands in search of the Flame-Flame Fruit, but he did not find it.

However, one phenomenon was discovered: the civilians in the East China Sea lived a very hard life.

The East China Sea is very calm, strangely calm. Here, as long as you have money, nothing is impossible.

As the weakest sea, the East China Sea is safe, but many corrupt officials have been born! The World Government is constantly absorbing nutrients from the East China Sea.

"Of course! If I can't even overcome these, how can I become the strongest!" Kuina raised the corners of her mouth, not taking what Jellal said to heart.

Then he thought for a moment and said, "But before we set off, my father told me to go to Wano Country if I have the chance. Jellal, where is Wano Country?"

"Wano Country? Of course we will go! Wano Country is located in the second half of the Grand Line, the New World! That is the lair of Kaido, one of the Three Emperors of Beasts!" Jellal said lightly.

Koshiro actually let Kuina go to Wano Country?

This was something Jellal had not expected. It seemed that the Shimotsuki family had a deep connection with Wano Country!

"Kaido of Beasts? Is he the strongest creature Kaido in the world? So powerful!" Kuina clenched the Wado Ichimonji tightly, exuding a hint of fighting spirit.

Jellal chuckled, then rode his bike with Kuina towards Rogue Town.

"Gerald, I'm so hungry. Let's find an island to eat!" After two days of biking on the sea, Kuina finally couldn't bear it anymore.

My stomach growled in protest.

Jellal stopped his bike and looked around. His observation Haki spread far away, but he didn't find any trace of an island. Then he said, "There are no islands nearby. Let's just deal with it at sea."

"Ah? There is no island? Then what shall we eat?" Kuina was a little depressed. From the time she set out to sea till now, the excitement she had felt had disappeared. These two days were just boring sea voyages.

"Don't worry, there's plenty to eat here!" Gerard was not worried about the food at all.

His observation Haki then spread into the sea and finally located a school of fish.

Pedal your bike towards the school of fish.

"Here it is. I'll let you try my craft in a moment." Gerard said slowly after stopping his bicycle.

"Is there no food here? Do you want to catch fish? But there is no place to stay here." Guina said with some confusion.

"You'll know soon." Gerard didn't explain.

He just squatted down slowly, and touched the sea water with his palm. "Mysterious Ice Freezing Air!"

As Jellal's devil fruit ability was activated, the sea level within a radius of dozens of meters was instantly frozen!

A thick layer of ice formed!

"Wow... so awesome! Even the sea can be frozen, Jellal, is this the ability of your devil fruit?" Kuina's eyes widened. The sea water was actually frozen by Jellal!

"That's right, I ate the cold fruit and I am a cold person. Wait a minute, there will be fish to eat soon." Gerard said casually.

Then he took out seasonings, knives, and a fishing rod from his backpack.

After preparation, put on the bait, throw the fishing rod into the sea, and wait for the big fish to take the bait.

Just now, Gerard discovered a huge school of fish here.

Kuina suddenly felt that Jellal was a little unreliable. She felt something was wrong when fishing in the vast ocean.

But Gerard said there were no islands nearby, so she could only wait and hope that a stupid fish would take the bait.

While Guina was thinking, the float moved!

"Fish! Gerald, the fish is hooked!" Kuina shouted excitedly, gesticulating and pointing in the direction of the float.

"Come up here!" Gerard swung his fishing rod hard, and a huge fish weighing a hundred pounds was thrown out by Gerard.

"That's great, Gerard, we finally have meat to eat!" Kuina stared at the big fish still flipping back and forth on the ice, her saliva about to flow.

Gerard pulled out the fishhook, picked up a knife and quickly dealt with the big fish.

Not long after, a dish of frozen sea fish sashimi was ready.

"Kuina, come and try it, this is my specialty!"

"Well! Let me try..." Kuina picked up a piece of fish with her bare hands, dipped it in a little of the seasoning prepared by Jellal, and put it into her mouth.

After taking a few bites, his eyes lit up, "It's so delicious! This fish is so chewy!"

"Of course! You won't be hungry if you follow me!" Gerard smiled slightly and started eating casually. After riding a bicycle for two days, he was a little hungry.

"Hmm? It can't be such a coincidence?" After taking a few bites, Jellal felt a strong man approaching.

"What's wrong? Jellal?" Kuina asked in confusion, and then looked in the direction Jellal was looking.

Slowly, a warship suddenly appeared in the distance, with a dog head holding a bone on the bow!
