Chapter 710: Targeting the World, the Pull of Fate! (2 in 1)

Reed Chiled Island.

This island was originally the base camp of a big pirate, but since the new navy entered the New World and carried out a major cleanup, this island has also become one of the islands under the jurisdiction of the new navy.

Lidchiled Island is located at the beginning of the second half of the Grand Line. After Fishman Island, one of the three islands pointed by the magnetic field is Lidchiled Island.

Therefore, when the island was taken over by the new navy, the commercial environment on the island developed very rapidly. In the few years after the new navy took over, the island had become very prosperous. Even in the East China Sea where there are many big countries, the level of development of Lidchiled Island can be ranked among the best.

Although the new navy has blocked the route to Fishman Island, over the years, there has continued to be an endless stream of adventurers, pirates, and merchants entering the New World from the first half of the Grand Line.

Even though the New World is full of dangers, it is precisely because of the state of the New World's maritime environment that merchants' interests become more lucrative.

In the face of absolute interests, the dangers of the New World have become insignificant. The harsh maritime environment cannot stop profit-seeking merchants, let alone adventurers and pirates.

Therefore, there have always been a large number of outsiders on Lidchiled Island. As the island environment has stabilized, more and more fleets have come to Lidchiled Island for trade and supplies.

The large number of foreign population promoted the development of local commerce. Moreover, Redhill Island itself had a large amount of land suitable for farming, and the new navy had also settled a large number of people on the island several times.

This unique geographical environment and the hard-working character of the "immigrants" have also enabled the rapid development of Lidchiled Island.

The first stop for the Straw Hat Pirates who secretly escaped from Fishman Island in the New World was Redchiled Island.

There is a mixed crowd here, and the new navy base commander, Tiger, out of consideration for the development of people's livelihood, does not conduct strict identity review of people going to the island.

He had two principles in law enforcement: first, to only arrest those pirates who were on the new navy's wanted list; second, to only arrest those who caused trouble after arriving on the island.

No matter if they are pirates or merchant caravans, who is cleaner than the other?!

If everyone was scrutinized and the policy for governing the island was one of high-pressure inspection, then it would be impossible for Reedchilede Island to develop so rapidly.

Tiger understood the benefit of turning a blind eye. Compared to purging outsiders, the most important thing was to let the island develop first and let those who were originally slaves of the pirates and the Celestial Dragons on the island live a good life.

This loose standard provides great convenience to some people at sea.

The Straw Hat Pirates were able to successfully reach the island with their crude disguise, thanks not only to the "face blindness" of the new navy patrol officers, but also to Tiger's relaxed policy.

A remote bay.

Luffy, who had a comfortable sleep, walked out of the cabin. After taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside, Luffy stretched out his hand, grabbed the railing of the observation deck, and then jumped up.

Looking out at the vast sea, Luffy showed a bright smile on his face:
"Whoa whoa--"

I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He started howling at the sea early in the morning. His shouting also attracted the attention of the crew members on the deck.

"Luffy, you're up."

"Wash yourself up, then you can eat."

Hearing the sound, Sanji walked out of the kitchen, even holding a spatula in his hand. He looked up at Luffy on the observation deck and invited him to have breakfast, his tone full of pampering.

Luffy's nonsensical personality has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the crew members are naturally no longer surprised by it. When the crew members usually get along with Luffy, the captain, there is no so-called distinction between "superiors and subordinates". Many times they even treat Luffy, a young man in his teens, as a child.

Hearing the shout, Luffy lowered his head, sniffed, and smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. The smile on his face became even bigger. He jumped back to Sanji's side, muttering "eat, eat" as he rushed to the kitchen.

"Hey, the ones for you are on the stove, and the ones on the table are for Vivi and Nami."

Sanji's nature of "favoring girls over boys" has not changed at all. The breakfast he prepared for the two ladies on the ship was exquisitely and elegantly presented. The food prepared for Luffy and the others was also carefully cooked, but there was no embellishment at all.

Afraid that Luffy would ruin the breakfast he prepared for the ladies, Sanji hurriedly followed him into the restaurant after giving him a warning.

The Sunny is very large, with a semi-open kitchen and dining room in the same cabin.

Luffy was one of the last people to get up on the ship. His childish nature and his greedy and sleepy nature had not changed at all because of the training he received at the Marine Headquarters.

As soon as he ran into the kitchen, Luffy happily ran to the stove. When he saw the sea fish sandwich on the plate and the large bucket of milk next to it, Luffy's face immediately fell.

"Sanji~~~"

"I don't want to eat this dry bread, I want to eat meat!!!"

Luffy didn't like the healthy diet that Sanji arranged. Even in the early morning, he wanted to eat meat. The bland food like the sea fish sandwich was not to his liking at all.

As he spoke, Luffy's eyes turned to the papaya juice and oatmeal bread on the table that Sanji had specially prepared for the two ladies, and he immediately showed a look of disgust.

As a chef, Sanji could naturally feel Luffy's "contempt from the diners". He immediately flew into a rage, leaped directly behind Luffy, hugged Luffy's neck, and then shouted angrily in Luffy's ear:
"Asshole, who eats meat so early in the morning?!"

"I put a lot of thought into making this sandwich. I went to town before dawn to buy the freshest fish, and I ground the flour and baked the bread myself."

"In order to ensure the taste, I ate the slightly burnt edges and only left the softest part for you."

"You bastard, instead of thanking me properly, you actually dare to complain about this and that!!"

"If you don't want to eat, then starve. I'll eat by myself."

Sanji grabbed Luffy's ears, furious. The more Sanji talked, the more he felt that his thoughts were wasted. Just as he was about to reach out for the plate next to the stove, Luffy was faster and directly snatched the sandwich from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although he complains, Luffy never gets angry with his stomach. Not to mention that everything Sanji makes tastes very good, even if the food tastes bad, Luffy will choose to eat it first.

"Oh come on, Sanji."

Luffy obviously didn't listen to Sanji's words. After chewing a few bites, he picked up the milk and poured it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Sanji couldn't help but let go of Luffy. He stared at Luffy for a long time, then sighed heavily, walked to the refrigerator and took out the sea monster meat that he had marinated last night.

"Go eat at the table, don't get in the way here, the meat will be ready soon."

In the end, Sanji couldn't persuade Luffy and decided to make some meat for Luffy as breakfast. It's not so much that Sanji couldn't persuade Luffy, but rather that it was because Sanji doted on Luffy enough.

"Hahaha!"

“Meat, meat, meat!!”

When Luffy saw Sanji take out the meat from the refrigerator, he immediately smiled happily. He walked to the dining table with a plate and milk and sat down. His feet were still shaking restlessly, and he looked very excited.

"Sanji, you're too dependent on him."

At this time, Nami and others happened to walk into the restaurant. Seeing Sanji preparing greasy meat for Luffy early in the morning, Nami couldn't help but sigh.

Franky and the others didn't seem surprised at all. They quickly sat down around the dining table and clamored for Sanji to get ready quickly.

Sanji shook his head, started cooking the beast meat, and listened to the noisy noises of his companions behind him. A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He likes this feeling very much, just like the time in the restaurant on the sea before, and now, this feeling of getting along with "family" makes Sanji cherish it very much. The Straw Hat Pirates are all high-energy guys, and they can't even have a quiet meal. Princess Vivi, the only calm person, has been on the ship for a long time and has been infected by these guys and can get along with them.

However, this cheerful atmosphere soon dissipated a little with Nami's words:
"Luffy, our recording pointer has completed the recording of the magnetic field of this island. Have you made up your mind? When do you plan to set off?"

After staying on Redchiled Island for so many days, the recording pointer has already recorded the magnetic field here. It is time for the Straw Hat Pirates to leave.

"Hmm? Have you recorded it?"

"Then let's set sail after dinner!"

Luffy is the type of person who does what he says and never makes any plans. When he heard what Nami said, he made the decision immediately.

"You are so casual, huh?"

Nami couldn't help but twitch her eyes when she heard Luffy's decision, but she didn't say anything against it. Instead, she looked at Sanji, Franky and others.

The crew members had already developed a tacit understanding. Sanji nodded silently when he felt Nami's gaze, and Franky saw Nami looking towards him, and immediately patted his chest and said:
"That's no problem for me. The Sunny has already been prepared and can set off at any time!"

Seeing the two people express their opinions, Nami lowered her head silently and continued to eat breakfast.

When she heard that the fleet was about to set sail, Weiwei, who was eating quietly, suddenly thought of something and raised her head abruptly:

"correct!"

"When I went to town a few days ago, I saw a merchant selling permanent record pointers to all nations."

"Should we buy one in advance?"

Weiwei's words caused silence in the restaurant, and everyone looked at Weiwei in surprise.

"what happened?"

When Weiwei saw that all her friends were looking at her, she scratched her head in confusion, looking confused.

"Hey, Vivi, we're pirates!"

"What are you going to do in Wan Guo?"

"That's the headquarters of the new navy. Wouldn't it be a trap to go there?"

Usopp seemed to have thought of something that frightened him, and he couldn't help but shudder as he said this.

All countries
That kind of place is recognized as a pirate's Jedi. He hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to go to Wan Guo.

"Ok?"

"Not going to Wan Guo!?"

"Luffy, don't you want to become the Pirate King and find the great secret treasure? How can you find the great secret treasure without going to the Ten Thousand Nations?"

When Vivi heard what Usopp said, she was a little confused, her face full of confusion, and then she looked at Luffy.

"Ok?"

"Why do we have to go to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms to find the Great Secret Treasure?"

"Is the great secret treasure in Wan Guo?"

Usopp and several other crew members were confused at the moment, and when they heard Vivi's words, they looked puzzled.

"what?"

"You really don't know!"

"Eh--"

Vivi was a little surprised. Seeing that the doubts on her companions' faces did not seem fake, she was also quite surprised. Then, without waiting for Luffy and others to ask questions, Vivi continued:

"There are four red historical texts on this world. Only by deciphering those four historical texts can we find the route to Raftel."

"As far as I know, at least two pieces of the Red Road Sign Historical Text have fallen into the hands of the new navy."

"There was originally one on Fishman Island, and there was also one on Wan Guo Cake Island. Both pieces of historical text are under the control of the New Navy."

"If we don't go to Wan Guo, how can we go to Raftel?"

Vivi's words were shocking. She was originally a royal family of Alabasta, so it was normal for her to know some secrets about the historical text. Moreover, things about signposts were not a secret in this world, even Luffy knew some of them.

But how could someone like Luffy, who doesn't pay attention to world affairs, know that the New Navy has mastered two historical texts and there is a red road sign on Fishman Island?
And it's not just Luffy. Crew members like Sanji, Nami, Usopp and Chopper are all "small town youths". Before they left their hometown and went to sea, the limited land under their feet was their entire life. They had no time to understand the so-called great treasures and the landmark historical texts that moved the world.

Vision is something that cannot be acquired in an instant; their logic and behavioral habits also limit their vision.

Before Vivi pointed out the historical text, the Straw Hat Pirates were just a headless fly, running around in this world.
"Weiwei, you said there is such a thing on Fishman Island!!!"

"Signpost historical text?!"

Luffy didn't realize what he had missed until now, and his face was full of surprise.

"I'm not sure if the New Navy has the historical text of the signpost for moving Fishman Island, but I'm sure that Wan Kou must have it. The New Navy should have placed such an important thing in its base."

Weiwei said somewhat uncertainly, and her words made everyone present look at each other in bewilderment.

"Yeah."

"I see. Weiwei, do you know where the other two road sign historical texts are?"

Luffy's face rarely showed a serious look. After thinking for a moment, he asked in a deep voice.

"Well, if there is nothing wrong with our royal family's records, one piece should be on an island called Zou, and the other piece should be in the legendary Wano Country."

"As for how to get there, I'm sorry, Luffy, but I don't know either."

Weiwei's words brought silence to the restaurant of the Sunny.

When Luffy heard the names of Zou and Wano Country, he was a little dazed for a moment.

He seemed to have heard of these two names, but Luffy could not remember where he had heard them.

But there is one thing Luffy can be sure of now, that is, he must go to Wan Guo no matter what.
