Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Having learned all this, Zain wasn't stupid, and naturally he wouldn't dare to head straight for the Sabaody Archipelago again.

He is confident in his abilities, but not to the point of being blindly so.

Zane, who was not ready to confront Doflamingo head-on for the time being, decisively chose to turn back.

"We can't go back to Magic Valley Town for now," Zane thought to himself.

If Bellamy doesn't arrive, Doflamingo will definitely contact them, and once they discover Bellamy is missing, they will certainly send people to investigate.

Among them, Mogu Town, as Bellamy's stronghold, is definitely a key target for investigation.

After thinking for a moment, Zane had all the permanent pointers on the ship brought to him.

When navigating the vast ocean with its chaotic magnetic fields, a permanent pointer is an indispensable tool.

The Bellamy Pirates were clearly well-prepared.

Soon, dozens of permanent pointers were placed in front of Zane.

The base of each permanent pointer is engraved with the name of the island it belongs to.

Zane looked at them one by one, and stopped when he saw the name of one of the permanent pointers.

The base is named Water Seven.

Zane was not surprised to see the permanent pointer in Water Seven.

As a world-renowned shipbuilding city, Water Seven's permanent compass is basically equipped with any ship active on the Grand Line.

Similarly, Zane stopped looking at the island simply because it appeared in the original storyline.

After reviewing all the permanent pointers, Zane summoned the navigator.

Soon, a man wearing glasses rushed over.

The man's name was Eddie, and he was the ship's navigator.

"Are there any uninhabited islands here that are inhabited by many ferocious beasts?" Zane asked, pointing to the permanent pointer.

"...Yes, yes, Captain, look at Newcastle. This is an uninhabited island inhabited by many wild beasts."

We even went there once before, originally planning to capture some rare and ferocious beasts as special commodities to send to the Sabaody Archipelago.

But when we arrived, we discovered that the beasts on this island were far too powerful, even Bellamy's ship... uh!

Eddie was initially giving a fawning introduction, but when he accidentally mentioned Bellamy, he instinctively prepared to call him Captain. When he realized what he was doing, he immediately stopped and looked at Zane with a look of horror.

"Continue!" Zane didn't blame anyone for any slip of the tongue.

Seeing that Zane was not angry, Ace breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued, "Even Bellamy was severely injured by the beasts on the island, so we had no choice but to evacuate."

Zane stroked his chin: "Sounds pretty good. Alright, let's go to the nearby supply depot to replenish our supplies first, and then we'll head straight to Newcastle."

Eddie naturally obeyed Zane's orders and immediately went to the helmsman to take command.

After deciding on their next destination, Zane turned to look at the savage dragon sitting cross-legged in the corner of the deck, wolfing down its food.

"How's the food? Are you feeling better?"

"Hmm... After taking the medicine the ship's doctor gave me and filling my stomach, I've recovered, boss!" Manlong swallowed the food in his mouth, got up and went to Zane's side.

As if to make it easier for Zain to talk to him, he thoughtfully sat down so that Zain wouldn't have to raise his head too high.

"Manlong, would you mind telling me about your situation?" Zane had noticed Manlong's every move and asked with a smile.

"Okay!" Manlong nodded.

Even if Zain hadn't asked, he planned to explain at some point.

After all, he has now acknowledged Zain as his boss, so how could he not explain his own situation?

Then, with Zane listening attentively, the dragon began to recount his situation.

simply put.

Manlong is a hybrid of human and fishman, born on Fishman Island.

Just as Zain once commented, mixed-race individuals can create miracles.

That's what the Savage Dragon is like.

His mixed blood did not make him weaker than other fishmen. Not only did he have part of the fishman bloodline of the bowhead whale, but he also possessed extraordinary talent, having a strong body and superhuman strength from birth.

But this did not bring happiness to the dragon.

Many fishmen on Fishman Island are very xenophobic.

Because of his mixed bloodline, the dragon has always been ostracized by other fishmen, even in the chaotic fishman town.

Unable to gain recognition on Fishman Island, the dragon became disheartened and chose to leave.

He went to the human world with hope, wanting to find a place that would accept him.

Unfortunately, humans are even more ostracizing them.

If it weren't for the dragon's extraordinary talent, he would have been killed when he arrived at the first human town.

Thus, rejected by both fishmen and humans, the dragon began its life of wandering, until it reached the town of Mogu.

Bellamy will capture the dragon; the process is actually quite simple.

Because of the distinctive features of the fish-man's appearance, when the dragon wandered to Mogu Town, it was spotted by Bellamy, who planned to send it to the Sabaody Archipelago as a high-quality slave.

So Bellamy drugged the dragon's food, eventually knocking it unconscious.

"Savage Dragon, do you want to hear about my situation?" Zane said after Savage Dragon recounted his experience.

"If you're willing, boss, I naturally wouldn't mind learning about your affairs," Manlong said calmly.

Zain smiled and began to tell his story.

His story is simpler.

My father is a member of the three-eyed tribe.

Because of the harsh living conditions of the Three-Eyed Tribe, they had been hiding and running away until they unexpectedly encountered the reclusive old man and his mother.

The old man was once a pirate. After retiring, he chose to live in seclusion with his only daughter in order to avoid being found by his enemies.

Later, the father and mother of the three-eyed tribe met, got to know each other, and fell in love.

But happiness stopped there.

When Zain was born, his mother died in childbirth, and his father also passed away a few years later due to depression.

Zain then grew up under the old man's tutelage.

When he was seventeen, his grandfather's old injuries recurred and he passed away. Zain decided to go to sea to find his own way of life.

After hearing Zane's story, the dragon became even more silent.

Especially when Zane lifted his headband slightly to show him his third eye, the dragon took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely protect you."

He also witnessed a lot during his time wandering in the human world.

Especially the slavery industry.

Therefore, he also had some understanding of the situation of the three-eyed people.

"Hahaha, you really dare to say that. As your boss, I should be the one protecting you." Zane laughed loudly.

"By the way, come sit a little closer, I want to try something."

After chatting for a while, Zane asked the dragon to sit in front of him.

Without asking any questions, the dragon immediately obeyed Zane's orders.

After settling down, Zane raised his hand and placed it on the back of the dragon.

"As expected, there are no micropores."

As the energy surged from his palm, Zain's gaze sharpened, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

What he wanted to test was the fine pore.

But as it turns out, people in the pirate world do not possess microscopic pores.

Zane has it all thanks to the Bronze Gate.
