Kaya stayed in the lighthouse, concentrating on learning medicine from Kulokas.
Until one afternoon, Al suddenly saw a sailboat speeding down from the Upside-Down Mountain, and on the boat was Luffy wearing a straw hat.
In addition, he also found Zoro, Usopp and Sanji on the boat.
Al took the initiative to stand up and waved to them, "Long time no see, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp! I didn't expect you all to have come to the Grand Line."
Luffy responded with his signature smile, "It's Al, why are you parked on the shore? Aren't you planning on heading to the Grand Line?"
Al replied: "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will stay here for the time being."
Then he turned to Zoro and said, "Zoro, I went to Rogue Town later, but unfortunately I couldn't find you. I didn't expect that you had joined Luffy's fleet."
"I only stayed in Rogue Town for one day and then left." Zoro said calmly.
When he noticed Dashiqi on the shore, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why is she here too?"
Al smiled and said, "Since we are both from the navy, isn't it natural for us to be together?"
Sanji on the side kept his eyes on the four beauties on the shore: "Your pirate group is really amazing, all of them are beauties."
After chatting for a while, Al learned about their group's experience on the ship.
Since El stole Nami away, Usopp is now the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Kaya was also called out from the lighthouse and chatted with Usopp.
Al took out a navigation compass from the room, handed it to Usopp, and explained in detail how to use it.
Thanks to Sanji's exquisite cooking, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
Crocus held a bottle of wine and slowly walked to Luffy's side.
"That straw hat of yours was given to you by Red Hair, right?" he asked.
Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and he responded excitedly: "Uncle, do you know Shanks too?"
"We've sailed together before," he whispered, "Luffy, when you reach the Devil's Triangle, help me find a skeleton musician named Brook and bring him back here."
"Skeleton musicians? That's so cool!" Luffy's eyes sparkled with excitement, "And we just happen to be short of a musician on our ship, so leave it to me!"
Chapter 15 Whiskey Peak (Please recommend and collect)
It was not until more than a week after Luffy left that Kaya's learning journey came to a temporary end.
During this time, she made progress every day under the careful guidance of Kulokas.
After mastering enough basic knowledge, they set out on a journey away from Twin Capes with the medical book given by Kulokas.
El turned to look at Princess Vivi in the team and asked, "Vivi, you should have a permanent pointer to the Kingdom of Alabasta, right?"
"I didn't carry that pointer with me. It was kept at Whiskey Peak."
"Well, our next destination is Whiskey Peak. It's a good opportunity for us to replenish some food. However, that place may have been messed up by Luffy."
"That's because you told them in advance that it was the bounty hunters' territory," Weiwei said with some confusion. "I'm curious, as a newcomer who has just stepped into the Grand Line, how did you get so much information?"
Al smiled and didn't explain much, "Just think of me as an intelligence expert."
As their boat slowly approached Whiskey Mountain, many eyes were cast from the buildings on the shore.
People stood in the shadows, silently observing the new visitors.
Perhaps because they saw Ms. Wednesday, they did not show up and treated Al and his group as a fat sheep.
Weiwei led a group of people straight to her former residence. However, just as she was about to push the door open, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her sight.
"Ms. Wednesday, you're finally back." There was a hint of nervousness in Mr. 9's voice that was hard to conceal.
"What's wrong, Prince?" Vivi stopped and looked back at him, feeling vaguely uneasy.
“A few days ago, Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine came here from the headquarters,” Mr. 9’s expression became serious.
"They claimed that you and Mr. 8 betrayed the studio, and when they met, they beat Mr. 8 severely. Fortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates stopped them later, and Ms. Monday and I took advantage of the chaos to hide Mr. 8."
"Thank you, Prince." "Are Mr. 5 and the others still on the island now?" Weiwei frowned, her tone revealing worry.
"They chased after the Straw Hat Pirates' ship and left, probably heading towards Little Garden Island." Mr. 9 replied.
Hearing this, Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
"How is Mr. 8 doing now? Take me to see him."
After saying that, she quickly returned to the room and took away the permanent pointer of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Led by Mr. 9, the group passed through the intricate alleys and came to the secret place where Mr. 8 was hiding.
"Princess, I'm so glad to see you're safe and sound."
In the room, there was an Ikalem with strange court curly hair, and there was also a walking duck wearing a helmet.
"Ikalem, are you okay?" Weiwei asked with concern. She carefully checked his physical condition and confirmed that he was fine, then she felt relieved.
At this time, the Karoo duck also came over and touched Vivi's body with its beak to express its joy.
Everyone sat around a simple table and began to discuss in detail everything that had happened during this period.
Ikalem narrated the whole story.
When he learned that El and others were willing to lend a hand and help solve the crisis facing the Kingdom of Alabasta, Ikarem stood up and expressed his gratitude to them.
"Now that we have the Perpetual Pointer, let's head directly to the Kingdom of Alabasta and destroy the Baroque Workshop before they can fully react."
Al explained his plan to everyone.
Weiwei frowned after listening to this and asked worriedly, "But our opponent is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Can we really defeat him?"
Al met Vivi's gaze and replied, "Although Crocodile is the user of the Nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit, my fruit ability is not bad either. Add to that the seastone handcuffs in our hands and my special means, and we have a pretty good chance of winning."
Since receiving instruction from Garp, Al has initially mastered the use of Armament Haki, which means he is no longer completely defenseless when facing users with natural abilities.
What's more, in dragon form, it can breathe out scorching hot breath, the temperature of which is enough to melt sand into glass.
There are some other people with special abilities in the Baroque Workshop. By defeating them through tasks, you can further improve your strength.
Looking around at his team members, Al decided to let them gain some experience here.
Opponents of evenly matched strength like Whiskey Mountain are very rare experience packs.
"Ikalem, are all these bounty hunters on the island members of Baroque Studio?"
"Yes, Mr. El," Ikarum nodded in response, "They are all bounty hunters affiliated with the Baroque Union, specializing in hunting down novice pirates who have just entered the Grand Line."
"In that case, Nojigo, your trial is here!"
"Trial? Captain, I'm just a cook!"
"The strength of the bounty hunters here is just right for you to have a real combat experience, and it can also be regarded as a test of the results of your training in the past few days." Al explained
"Should I go too?" Nami asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"Of course, Nami, you and Tashigi will be in charge of the attack," El nodded.
"Nojigo, your barrier can protect them from the threat of bullets. As for Kaya, the people here are not a threat to her, you just take her to experience the battle."
Dashigi asked, "What about you, Captain? Will you cover us from behind?"
El smiled and said, "I'm going to buy food and water. You have to believe in your own strength. Even if the battle is not going well, just hide in Nojigo's barrier. Even if those bounty hunters continue to attack for a year, they will not be able to break the barrier."
After cheering up the girls, he asked Ikalem to lead them to the gathering place of bounty hunters.
He himself took Weiwei and started shopping for food.
The next plan is to skip the small garden and Drum Island and head straight to Alabasta.
There are no supply points to replenish food on the vast ocean.
What's more, they have to undergo high-intensity training and they cannot persist without sufficient meat supplies.
As El and Vivi went back and forth several times and filled the storage room, the battle on Tashigi's side was gradually coming to an end.
Relying on Nojigo's barrier, although they encountered some troubles at first, as they gradually got used to each other, those bounty hunters were no longer their opponents.
The battle situation gradually changed from them being besieged to them chasing the bounty hunters and launching an offensive.
With the high speed of the razors, the bounty hunters simply couldn't keep up with their attack speed.
Finally, Al took them back to the ship and set sail in the direction indicated by the permanent pointer.

"I feel like we've all been fooled by the captain!"
After dinner, Nojigo sipped the drink in her hand while chatting with her sisters, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Al who was busy washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Oh? How could I lie to you?" Al heard their conversation and interrupted with a hint of curiosity, but he did not stop his hands.
"When you invited us on board, didn't you clearly say that you would be in charge of the battles, while Nami and I would be the cook and navigator respectively?" Nojigao asked with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"I do this so that you will have enough power to protect yourselves. After all, the sea is so dangerous." Al responded in a relaxed tone.
"Sister is just kidding you, Captain," Nami interrupted with a smile in her eyes, "Look at how she was fighting just now. She seemed to be enjoying it."
"Yes, Captain," Nojigo took over the conversation, "The power of this barrier fruit is really amazing, and there is also Kaya's fruit power. Didn't you see the expressions of those bounty hunters when they couldn't hit her? It was really hilarious. However, what makes me most envious is that so many pirates are attracted by Kaya's beauty."
"Yes, Captain, what kind of abilities will the devil fruit you promised to prepare for me have? I'm really looking forward to it more and more." Nami's eyes flashed with curiosity and longing.
Hearing this, Dashigi on the side couldn't help but prick up her ears and listened to the conversation with great interest.
El smiled and looked at Nami gently: "If there is a chance to get it, I hope to find the nature-type Thunder Fruit for you. Eating it can transform you into lightning, which is a perfect match for you as a navigator."
"It sounds really impressive. I'll look forward to the captain's gift." Nami blinked and responded playfully.
"Once Weiwei's problem is resolved, we will set out to look for the Thunder Fruit."
At this time, Kaya noticed that Dashiki looked thoughtful, so she asked, "El, what kind of devil fruit do you plan to find for Miss Dashiki?"
El's gaze turned to Dashigi, "For a swordsman like Dashigi, the most suitable devil fruit is the animal-type devil fruit. I know there is a mythical beast-type animal-type fruit, but it may take some time to find it."
"Is it the same mythical beast species as the captain? Wouldn't that be extremely powerful?" Nami exclaimed.
"Mythical beasts are indeed rarer than natural beasts, but whether one can unleash their true power depends on one's own strength," El explained.
"Got it, Captain. We will study the six marine styles you mentioned carefully."
"It looks like you're having a great time, Princess Vivi."
The door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and a woman wearing a cowboy hat leaned lazily against the door frame, breaking the original tranquility.
"Ms. All Sunday, why are you here? Aren't Ikalem and Kalu outside?" Vivi asked in surprise when she saw her.
"Are you talking about the man and the duck? They've fallen asleep." The woman replied nonchalantly, glancing at everyone in the room.
Al glanced back and recognized the unexpected visitor.
"It's Robin." He took a cup from the closet and poured her a cup of tea. "What a rare guest. Please have some tea."
Robin glanced at the cup of tea that Al handed over, but did not reach out to take it. "Thank you for the tea, but I'm afraid it's poisonous, so I won't drink it." There was a hint of teasing in her tone.
"Ms. Robin, we have no ill intentions. Please come in and sit with us." Al invited her politely.
Robin was slightly stunned when he heard Al's words, and then said in surprise: "Oh, you actually know me?"
El gestured for her to sit down at the empty seat at the table and placed the cup there. "In addition to helping Vivi, we are going to Alabasta to invite you to join our team."
"It seems that you are very confident that I can join you, Captain." Robin raised his eyebrows.
"Although I have no interest in studying the original text of history, since General Qingzhi has spoken, I can only do as he says." Al said frankly.
Hearing Qingzhi's name, Robin's smile faded a little, and she asked seriously, "Are you sent by Qingzhi?"
"Yes, the admiral asked me to take you with me when I pass through Alabasta. I hope Miss Robin won't make things difficult for me." Al replied.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense.
The moonlight poured through the window onto the table, reflecting the tea swaying gently in the cup, as if it was also waiting for Robin's answer.
After a while, Robin slowly spoke: "I'm sorry, I still have things to do, so I can't join you for the time being."
"It's not too late to make a decision after you finish reading the main text of history." Al responded calmly.
After Robin left, Vivi immediately ran to the deck to check on Ikalem.
Ikalem and Kalu Duck were seen lying quietly on the deck in the moonlight, and Vivi gently checked them out.
