Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

Ace couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really curious, how did all these members end up on the same ship?"

"Who knows? Maybe they have disagreements and arguments in private, or maybe they actually get along quite well?"

Nearby, a member of the Spade Pirates shrugged and said, "But no matter what, since this navigator doesn't like us, we might as well just not interact with her. Ace, you shouldn't keep trying to talk to her; you'll only make a fool of yourself."

"You are our captain. If the captain lacks authority, we won't know how to handle the situation."

After saying that, the pirate walked to a spot not far from the house and began to observe the surrounding environment.

It seems he's more enthusiastic about the upcoming gold exploration than about being met with indifference.

Seeing this, Ace could only shake his head slightly.

If it were just an insignificant passerby, it wouldn't matter; Ace isn't the kind of person who likes to make trouble for himself. But Li Mingyuan is the most compatible person he has encountered since he set sail, and a tacit understanding and bond has even formed between them.

To some extent, even most of his current crew members have not been able to give him such a unique sense of camaraderie. If possible, he would naturally like to get along as well as Li Mingyuan's crew.

But even when facing his own crew, he could never bring himself to say these words.

Especially since he was still harboring that 'secret'.

"never mind."

"What you said makes sense. Being disliked so openly must be very frustrating for everyone on the crew, right?"

Ace took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming serious, and he also turned to look at the house beside him.

"Ten-minute break. After ten minutes, we will begin the formal exploration."

"The legendary Golden Pirate Unan! Since he's supposedly collected so much gold, he's definitely no ordinary guy. We wonder what dangers await us next. Everyone, stay alert!"

With Ace's shout, the entire arena resounded with the pirates' responses.

"oh!!"

The pirates' morale and enthusiasm were at an all-time high.

Such an exciting scene left Nami speechless with awe.

She glanced sideways and met Karina's gaze.

In silence, the two nodded to each other. Their past collaborations and tacit understanding allowed them to clearly grasp each other's thoughts and how to proceed.

So soon, ten minutes later.

Having regained some strength, Nami and Karina stood up again.

Following the Spade Pirates, who were in high spirits, the group entered a slightly dilapidated and cramped house, and soon the cliffside became deserted.

at the same time.

On a boat on the shore, bathed in the warm sunshine.

"Judging by the time, we should have arrived at the tomb chamber by now."

I sipped my coffee while reading the latest newspaper delivered by Newsbird.

Li Mingyuan appeared relaxed and on vacation. He looked up at the distant mountain peaks with a peaceful and contented expression.

Although the search is progressing faster than expected, it doesn't matter.

"Hey! Captain Li Mingyuan, which side of the sea monster meat should we choose tonight? Our warehouse is almost empty, but we still have plenty of wine!"

On the beach, Deus shouted at Li Mingyuan's boat, "If you don't mind, could you come down and help carry some supplies?"

Li Mingyuan slowly got up from the recliner.

He stretched lazily and exhaled calmly.

"Yes, it's about time we started making preparations."

Li Mingyuan muttered to himself, "After all, we've finally reached this crucial moment. If we're not careful, it could cause serious trouble."

Picking up the newspaper beside him, Li Mingyuan strode towards the beach, calmly embracing the final banquet that was about to begin.

The interior of the dwelling at the top of the cliff.

Once inside, Nami, Karina, and the Spade Pirates all looked around with curiosity.

As you can see, the interior is quite different from what you might have imagined before entering. The room is very simply furnished, with several rooms empty and no furniture at all except for a fireplace.

It's hard to imagine that this is a place where a normal person could live.

"There's nothing here, just an inconspicuous fireplace. Could this also be a trap set by Wu Nan to mislead us?"

Karina couldn't help but murmur.

Or perhaps—

Nami walked towards the fireplace, licked her lips, and pushed it hard with shining eyes.

Suddenly, the fireplace was pushed aside!

"This fireplace is the final cover!"

Nami looked at the stairwell that was now visible, barely able to contain her excitement, and exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding pirates immediately erupted in excitement.

"Oh my god! Could it be that it's finally happening!?"

"Thank you so much, Miss Navigator over there!!"

Eager to get started, the pirates rushed towards the basement. Ace, who was leading the way, had already disappeared at the top of the stairs, leaving only his shouts echoing around.

After watching the pirates enter the basement, Nami gave Karina a sly smile and said, "Shall we go too, Karina? With these pirates leading the way, even if there are any traps, they won't threaten us."

"Hehehe, what a bad woman, Nami."

Karina chuckled in return, "But I don't dislike places like yours."

As they spoke, Nami and Karina took their unhurried steps and carefully entered the basement entrance.

Upon entering the basement, one can see an extremely long passageway. As the renovated staircase disappears, it is replaced by laid railway tracks that descend from the ground.

Naturally, the passageway was completely dark, with no lighting equipment whatsoever.

Thanks to Ace, who was at the forefront, the flames rising from his head illuminated the surroundings, allowing the others to see their environment. Otherwise, in such a place, they probably wouldn't even know where they were.

"This must be the place."

A moment later, Ace suddenly stopped and raised an eyebrow at what was in front of him.

Right in front of him was a closed door.

"If Unan is still alive, he should be living inside."

"Of course, if it were a trap, there would be no way to dodge it in a place like this."

Ace's lips curled up in a smile.

"Everyone, step back a little, I'm about to open the door!"

Ace turned around and raised his voice.

Upon hearing Ace's voice, the pirates pressed themselves against the rock walls on both sides, including Nami and Karina. Everyone present held their breath, watching the scene unfold with tension and excitement.

next second.

The door opened.
