Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Ron thought to himself.

"As for the New World, let's not consider going there for now. Let's wander around the Grand Line for a while and find out about Sabo..."

He had inquired about Sabo's whereabouts when he was at Marineford, the naval headquarters, but to no avail.

"We boarded in such a hurry that we don't even know where this ship is headed..."

Ron gazed out the window, lost in thought.

With a thought, a screen of light, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.

It's a nautical chart of the entire ocean, with a red dot indicating his current location.

The Sabaody Archipelago marks the end of the first half of the Grand Line. To travel from the Sabaody Archipelago to the second half of the Grand Line, the New World, one must pass through Fish-Man Island or cross the Red Line via the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Ron watched the red dot slowly moving forward on the map and could roughly determine that the merchant ship was heading in the opposite direction from the New World.

Not far away is the infamous Devil's Triangle.

A white mist has shrouded the sea for years, as if draping the ocean in a mysterious veil.

Legend has it that over a hundred pirate ships disappear into the mist of this sea every year, and there are said to be mysterious and enormous creatures within, making it a dangerous area...

On the sea chart displayed on the screen in front of him, Ron saw a somewhat familiar name.

Ghost Island, also known as Moriah's Thriller Bark.

"It's to the southwest, about 360 miles from here, and it's constantly moving..."

Ron stroked his chin, thinking with interest.

"Ok?"

Ron's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He turned his head to look out the window.

next second.

It was accompanied by the deafening roar of a bomb exploding.

The windows of Ron's room shattered, and the entire ship rocked slightly.

A series of panicked screams came from outside the room.

Ron thought for a moment, picked up his coat and trench coat that were placed aside, opened the door and went out.

Come on deck.

The navy guarding the ship was already locked in a standoff with a group of menacing pirates, while behind the navy were passengers with faces full of panic and fear.

The two twin girls who had been peeping at Ron earlier were now timidly held in the arms of the noblewoman wearing a hat, their large eyes filled with panic and fear.

"They are... the Desa Pirates?!"

"One of the passengers exclaimed in alarm."

"Their captain, Desa Hills, is a pirate with a bounty of forty-five million. Why would such a pirate target a merchant ship like this?!"

"Because our boss has his eye on a Devil Fruit in the Sabaody Archipelago, and he just happens to be short on money."

A pirate carrying a sword over two meters long on his shoulder stepped forward.

"It's the vice-captain of the Desa Pirates, Blood Blade Hand Misan!"

Someone recognized the person and said in a trembling voice.

"The bounty... is twenty-seven million!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Mass, nicknamed Bloodblade, licked his lips and grinned maliciously.

"Our captain is still waiting for us on the island, we can't keep him waiting! Charge! Rob all their valuables!"

"Hahaha, got it!"

The pirates behind him let out a strange laugh and approached the group of terrified passengers with their weapons in hand.

At the front of dozens of sailors, the lieutenant wearing a coat of justice and a naval hat clenched his fists and stared intently at Bloodblade Mass.

"Bloodblade Mass, you will not succeed today!"

"Raise the gun!"

At his command, the entire navy raised their long-barreled muskets and aimed them at Bloodblade Mass and the fearless pirates around him.

"You can't defeat me with something like this."

Bloodblade Mass grinned maliciously and then charged forward.

"shot!"

Bang bang bang!

The lead bullets flew out, but were all knocked away in mid-air by the longsword swung by Bloodhand Mass. He rushed in front of the lieutenant, swung his sword, and cut off the long guns in the hands of him and several other naval men around him.

"hateful!"

The lieutenant gritted his teeth and threw a punch at him.

"This is too slow! Is this what the navy is like?"

Bloodblade Mass swiftly dodged his attack, laughing arrogantly, "Die!"

His broadsword flashed with a hint of blood as it sliced ​​across the back of the naval lieutenant, instantly spurting out blood.

The crowd looked terrified, and some women even covered their mouths with their hands to avoid screaming.

"waste!"

Massa stomped on the head of the fallen naval lieutenant, then turned to the group of armed, menacing, and arrogant pirates and said, "Go! Before the navy reinforcements arrive, take back all the valuables on this ship!"

"Hehe, that's great!"

"I'm in! Hahahaha!"

"Kukuku, can we kill these marines?"

"what ever."

“Hissing hissing hissing hee hee hee.”

The pirates, making strange noises, swarmed around Mass. Some went to deal with the remaining marines, while others, with sinister smiles on their faces, rushed towards the terrified passengers.

The entire ship was thrown into chaos.

As the navy was suppressed and killed one by one by the pirates, the passengers' hearts sank to the bottom, and their faces showed despair.

But looking into their despairing eyes, Bloodblade Mass felt immense pleasure.

Despair and fear are the correct attitudes that the weak should present in front of the strong!

"Oh, there are some really good women here, Hiss."

A pirate, his face contorted with greed, approached the beautiful, elegant noblewoman and the two little girls beside her.

"Mother, dear Mother."

The two little girls stared in terror at the approaching pirate, tears welling in their eyes, clutching only the noblewoman's clothes.

"It's still the mother and her two daughters, hissing and gurgling. I'm really lucky today."

The pirate licked his lips, his eyes greedily reaching out to grab it.

The noblewoman panicked and retreated, shielding her two little girls. Soon, with nowhere left to go, she looked around and cried out anxiously, "Is anyone there? Please help us! Please help us!"

But...where is anyone?

Everyone was preoccupied with saving their own lives.

Her gaze gradually turned to despair.

Just as the greedy pirate reached out his hand to grab them...

boom!

A gunshot rang out on the chaotic ship.

"how come……"

The pirate who was about to reach out and grab the noblewoman stared wide-eyed as blood streamed down his forehead.

73, I want this ship! (Please subscribe on 10/8!!)

The ship fell silent after the gunshot.

The noblewoman stared blankly at him as he collapsed, a large hole punched in his forehead, still somewhat in disbelief.

Who exactly is it?

"Who?!"

Bloodblade Mass frowned and looked around.

The pirates around them also stopped what they were doing and looked around.

Soon, everyone's attention fell on the black-haired boy in a military green trench coat standing by the railing on one side of the deck. His left hand was in his pocket, and his right hand was holding a silver revolver with smoke rising from the muzzle.
