Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

As the capital of the Kingdom of Blyston, Dockland is also the largest and oldest shipping center in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Blyston and even in the entire Apocalypse Continent.

The weather was quite good today, the sun shining brightly, and there was no rain or snow, a rare sight. Zhou Ning approached Richie Burke and Ignatius Woods and greeted them calmly. Perhaps due to some kind of disguise, Ignatius Woods no longer looked dark and depraved. Even the blue spots on his skin were gone, and he looked no different from a normal person.

"Very punctual." Rich Burke responded to Zhou Ning with a smile:

"The ticket hall opens at 8: AM, so now's the perfect time to get a comfortable first-class cabin. Without the Alchemy Ship, it would take about a week to reach Nathaniel by sea, and that's without encountering extreme weather conditions. Being able to buy a comfortable cabin is crucial."

Zhou Ning nodded. He was not the One Piece version of himself, so it would not be a problem for him to listen to Richie Burke's opinions appropriately.

The ticket purchasing hall of Dockland Port is on the left side of the entrance, located in a relatively spacious hall. Zhou Ning walked in front of the two people and pushed open the door of the hall.

Compared with the steam train ticket hall, which is also a passenger hub, this ticket hall is more spacious and has twelve ticket windows.

Most likely due to the previous major incident, there seemed to be very few passengers wanting to leave Docklands at this time. There were less than 40 people standing at the twelve ticket windows, and it was deserted.

Zhou Ning walked to the sign on the left and began to read the information about the next flight, while Rich Burke followed him.

As the largest port in the entire Apocalypse Continent and the place where the One Piece version of himself sets sail, Darklan has ship flights to major port cities in the Apocalypse Continent.

Zhou Ning searched the notice board for information about ships on December 12th.

The information provided on the notice board is very detailed. In addition to ship information, destination, and price, even the ports passed through and docking times are listed.

There are some airships like the Myrni Rooster, but these ships are usually only used for short-distance transportation and their endurance is not enough for long-distance voyages.

After eliminating a large amount of redundant information, Zhou Ning discovered that there were a total of six ships heading to the Kingdom of Sifalik today. Taking into account the destination, route, ship size and safety factor, there were only two ships that met his requirements, namely the Wings of Liberty and the Red Lion.

Tickets for both ships hadn't sold out yet, but the prices were quite outrageous—the kind Zhou Ning wouldn't have considered a few months ago. Because the weather in this world is so unpredictable, especially on the ocean, with frequent storms, thunderstorms, and prolonged headwinds, most ships were equipped with alchemical arrays for propulsion, making both the ships and their sails extremely expensive.

Therefore, the third-class cabin at the bottom of the Liberty Wings costs 15 Victa, the second-class cabin is 30 Victa, and the first-class cabin is a crazy 105 Victa... When Zhou Ning first crossed over, he had to save up for two years without eating or drinking to buy enough money to buy a first-class cabin ticket.

The smaller Red Lion ships are relatively cheaper, with prices corresponding to 12 Vectra, 24 Vectra and 85 Vectra respectively.

"I suggest choosing the Wings of Liberty. Don't worry about the price when you're at sea; it's often expensive for a reason." Rich Burke whispered beside Zhou Ning.

"The Wing of Liberty is a relatively new steamship. Even with a headwind, it can reach speeds of over 16 knots, so there's no need to worry about power. It also has a full set of Bryce auxiliary sails and is equipped with an alchemical array, so it's safe even if it runs out of fuel. I've met the captain of this ship before. His name is "Red" Robinson. He's a retired pirate and has connections with most of the pirates active along the inner edge of the Misty Sea. Traveling on his ship can reduce the risk of pirate attacks."

Red hair? Then is there a white beard?

Zhou Ning suppressed the urge to complain, having already made up his mind: "Then let's go with the Wings of Freedom!"

The reason for choosing this ship is not only because of what Rich Burke said, but also because its route will pass through Temple Port and dock in 2 days. This is the second largest port in the Kingdom of Blyston, where the Pirate King and Pluto were once stationed, and it is also the entrance to the Sea of ​​Mist.

As for the Pluto, which he was able to operate... it was a huge ship that required about one to two hundred sailors to barely operate. Controlling it required a huge amount of mental energy and it was simply impossible to sail on the ocean. It was better to store it here temporarily.

One day I will come back.

Zhou Ning was playing with a pocket-sized longan badge in his hand. At 12 a.m. on December 21, there would be a very mysterious extraordinary gathering at the mouth of the Sea of ​​Misty Sea. If nothing unexpected happened according to the voyage, he would just be able to catch up.

There were still about three hours before the Wings of Liberty set sail. After everyone bought a first-class ticket for the Wings of Liberty, Zhou Ning walked towards the dock carrying his suitcase.

Not far away, as seen in the TV series before, several military police officers and Earth Ring professionals in lobster suits were questioning the passengers passing by on their way to the dock.

Perhaps due to the 7 points of legendary power that boosted negotiations and his already venerated Darkland reputation, the leading military officer immediately revealed a look of awe when they inspected Zhou Ning.

"Are you Wayne Stewell? A legend like you doesn't need any inspection. Please go through."

After saying that, he bent down and let Zhou Ning pass. Even Richie Burke and Ignatius Woods who were following behind him waved him through without checking.

After Ignatius Woods removed his veil, Zhou Ning saw his appearance for the first time. As he had guessed, perhaps it was covered by some extraordinary object. He now looked dark-skinned, just like an ordinary Byron man.

After Zhou Ning passed by, Richie Burke, who was following behind, vaguely heard voices such as "Hero of Darkland" and "Mithril-like character".

Richie Burke followed Zhou Ning in a daze. To be honest, he was a little worried that his identity as a pirate would be discovered. He didn't expect Wayne Sternwell to have such a big reputation.

The Wings of Liberty is docked on the right side of the pier. From its appearance, it is quite similar to a two-decker steamship from the 19th century, which can accommodate hundreds of passengers. The difference is that the steamship still has sails.

There are 18 volcanic cannons on each side of the ship - these are alchemical cannons with a penetration power 20% greater than that of ordinary cannons, and are also essential equipment for fighting against looters in this era.

Captain Robinson, with thick red hair and a red beard, stood on the deck to greet the passengers. Through his observation Haki, Zhou Ning noticed that his strength was not weak and should be very close to that of the elite Japanese defenders such as Ian and Cherry. He was indeed worthy of being a retired pirate.

Like Richie Burke, he had a flintlock and a rapier on his waist. There were strong magical fluctuations on the rapier, and it looked like an unknown strange object.

There were quite a few passengers on this ship, and soon they formed a long queue and took turns walking up the gangway to the deck.

After seeing Zhou Ning and Richie Burke, "Red Hair" Robinson showed a look of surprise on his face, obviously recognizing their identities, but he didn't say much. He watched them step onto the gangway and enter the cabin.

After finding his own room on the first floor of the cabin, Zhou Ning put down his suitcase and looked out the porthole at the sea view.

Although I still feel a little regretful, I have to start a new journey. In the next week, I hope to encounter some super-class marine creatures at sea.

This is also the most critical link in creating your own third-level career.
