Huh?

Why?

Vivi stared blankly at Luffy, knowing that she had just stolen something precious from them.

Could it be that he unexpectedly is a good person?

Knowing that he is a Shichibukai, he still wants to help her and her country face such a powerful enemy.

Sadness, touched, confused, puzzled.

In an instant, Vivi experienced a variety of complex emotions, her mind in chaos.

Suddenly.

"Achoo!"

She sneezed.

So cold!

"So cold!" Nami also felt the chill, her gaze turned to the window, her mouth wide open in astonishment.

Outside the window, a thick fog had appeared at some point.

The fog poured in from the doorway, and the temperature inside the cabin dropped rapidly, approaching freezing point.

"What's going on?" Nami stood up suddenly, leaned against the window, and exclaimed in shock, "It was daytime just now, the sun..."

The sun was gone, obscured by the dense fog.

On the Merry Go, following behind the Sunny, Sanji and the others also noticed that something was wrong.

Standing on the deck, it was difficult to see the Sunny, which was more than ten meters away.

"Luffy!" Sanji shouted.

Usopp panicked and said, "No, it's getting harder and harder to see, we might lose sight of it! The Log Pose... the Log Pose is in Luffy's hands!"

"Leave it to me, I won't lose it!"

At a critical moment, Bartolomeo stepped forward. He activated the barrier fruit ability and built a barrier bridge between the bows and sterns of the two ships.

"You guys keep an eye on that prisoner, I'll go check on Luffy's side."

Zoro immediately jumped onto the barrier bridge.

When he arrived on the deck, Luffy, Nami, and the others had already come out of the cabin.

Vivi had also been untied, and she hurriedly said,

"You've just arrived in the Grand Line, maybe you don't know yet, the weather here is like a child, one moment it's noon, the next moment it could be pitch black!"

As soon as she finished speaking, clatter clatter clatter.

Hail started falling from the sky, as if someone was standing in the sky, pouring a basin full of crushed ice over their heads.

"Ouch!" Nami was hit, and immediately cried out in pain.

"Everyone, get into the cabin."

Luffy handed the Log Pose to Nami, "Here, the only thing we can trust is this."

"Log Pose!" Vivi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's pointing to... Whisky Peak, the Drum Island!"

Vivi's body trembled.

"Zoro, you came at the right time, protect the ship, who knows what will fall from the sky!"

As the captain, Luffy quickly started to organize.

Everyone suddenly became busy.

Encountering the unpredictable weather changes of the Grand Line for the first time, everyone was inexperienced and inevitably a bit flustered.

It started with dense fog, followed by hail, and the temperature dropped sharply, as if in the depths of winter.

After persisting for half an hour, they crossed through the dense fog and encountered volcanic ash falling from the sky, not knowing where it came from. It was a dark mass, and if they didn't know better, they would have thought it was a dark cloud.

After that, there was a heavy rain.

The entire day, everyone on the ship was busy dealing with various unexpected situations.

Fortunately, everyone's strength was not weak, and they finally made it through without any major incidents.

The next day, the temperature on the sea remained below freezing.

As the ship gradually approached its destination, it gradually warmed up.

"Luffy, I can see the island!"

Nami, wearing a thick coat, wore the Log Pose on her left wrist. She looked at the island gradually appearing in the distance and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really, compared to the climate in East Blue, my sailing experience is completely useless!" She couldn't help but sigh.

The island that appeared in their field of vision was very peculiar.

A river ran through the center, dividing the island into two parts.

On both sides of the island were enormous cacti, or rather, mountains that looked similar to cacti!

They extended from the foot of the mountain all the way to the coast, forming a small town inhabited by humans.

"You sailed in the Sea of Paradise for a day, rewarded with 100 Adventure Coins."

"You have arrived at the new island, Whisky Peak, rewarded with 1000 Adventure Coins."

Luffy looked at the system prompt, secretly surprised.

Ten times!

It's actually ten times that of East Blue!

His brain quickly calculated.

If he continued sailing at a normal speed, he would reach the end of the Sea of Paradise, the last island in the first half of the Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago.

It would take about three months, and just the adventure coin rewards from sailing on the sea would be around ten thousand!

"What if it's in the New World?" Luffy couldn't help but think, "On top of this, it increases by another ten times?!"

Financial freedom!

From now on, he could buy whatever he wanted.

What? Not satisfied with the daily loot? Just use adventure coins to refresh the shop!

First, arm himself, max out his Haki, and equip all the crew members with the basic six styles.

Invincible!

While thinking about this, two ships entered the river of Cactus Island one after another.

People were everywhere on both sides, each with a smile full of enthusiasm, waving and greeting Luffy and the others.

"Hey, pirates!"

"Welcome to Whisky Peak!"

"Brave sailors, welcome to the town belonging to pirates!"

Cheers and congratulations kept coming.

On the Merry Go, on the deck.

Usopp looked around in confusion, "What's going on? They're actually welcoming pirates."

Mr. 9, who had been left in the warehouse, sneered. He also heard the cheers and cursed the fools in his heart.

On the Sunny Go.

Vivi covered her mouth and immediately sold these people.

"This is the gathering place for bounty hunters, specifically... specifically hunting new pirate rookies who have just entered the Grand Line," she whispered.

Her tone was quite embarrassing, after all, she was one of them.

"At the same time, this is also the base of the Baroque Works!"

Nami's mouth curled up slightly, her tone becoming playful, "I see, so that's how it is. Coming here without knowing anything, you'll definitely fall into their trap, right, Luffy?"

Luffy snapped out of his thoughts from the sudden increase in adventure coin rewards.

"Let's dock."

The ships slowly docked at the port, and everyone disembarked one after another.

Except for Mr. 9, who had been completely forgotten.

The people here warmly welcomed them and gave them enthusiastic applause.

Clap clap clap clap~

"Congratulations!"

"Having overcome numerous difficulties and arriving here, congratulations!"

"Congratulations! You are all amazing, daring to challenge this treacherous sea!"

They were so popular that even Usopp, who knew they were bounty hunters, felt a bit elated.

At this moment, a tall man with golden wavy hair walked out of the crowd.

"Welcome... cough cough, we~lco~me to the pirate town. I am the mayor here."

He cleared his throat before speaking, with a serious speech impediment.

His demeanor was more like that of a secluded nobleman trying to imitate the manners of high nobility, completely different from the ordinary people around him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Vivi stepped forward.

"Vi... cough cough, we~lco~me, Miss Wednesday, is it you who led this group of brave sea heroes here? Well done!"

He smiled as usual.

Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others burst into laughter, their laughter gradually becoming unrestrained.

Vivi covered her face, no, please stop, it's too embarrassing! Mr. Ikalgo, they all know now!

Luffy walked forward and patted Ikalgo on the shoulder.

"Bring out the delicious food quickly, Captain of the Guard. Welcome should be done properly."

Captain of the Guard!?

Ikalgo was struck by lightning, frozen in place like a statue, completely dumbfounded.
