Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"How is he still alive?! Is that guy immortal?! That's Kaido!"

Moonlight Moria's shrill voice echoed throughout the entire castle.

Princess Mononoke Perona covers her ears and floats in the air.

"Lord Moria, please keep your voice down!"

"Oh, sorry……"

……

[P.S.: The Lunar New Year holiday is over. Regular updates will resume starting tomorrow.]

183. Reactions from all sides, Vivi's expectations.

Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.

"That man is still alive?!"

Grandma New looked at the newspaper in her hand, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

And he was even evenly matched with Hawkeye in swordsmanship... Has that man become even stronger after two years?

Empress Boa Hancock sat high on her throne, her long legs crossed, a smile of unparalleled beauty on her face: "I told you long ago, he wouldn't die."

"Snake Princess, you seem to care a lot about this man."

Grandma New looked at her and asked, "Is it because he attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise?"

"That's one reason, I suppose."

Hancock rested her chin on her hand, her long, straight black hair casually draped behind her head, her deep blue eyes half-closed, looking languid and extremely beautiful.

"Are there other reasons?"

"It's my intuition."

"..."

……

The Grand Line, Alabasta.

Clakdal stared at the newspaper in his hand, a smirk playing on his lips as he smoked a cigar.

"Still alive...that's wonderful."

"I still have a score to settle with you. If you just die like that, I'll be really unhappy..."

Crocodile touched his chest; beneath his clothes, there was an extremely long slash that ran from his left shoulder to his right waist.

It still aches faintly to this day.

That was an unforgettable memory that guy left for Crocodile.

Crocodile's newspaper turned to dust, his eyes filled with ferocity, and he uttered a few words through gritted teeth:

“The Traveler… Ron.”

…………

The Grand Line, Whiskey Peak.

Neferutari Vivi, the 16-year-old princess of Alabasta disguised as Miss Wednesday and hiding within Baroque Works, gazed at the newspaper in her hand and murmured softly, "So you're still alive after all..."

She gazed at the photo in the newspaper, a complex expression appearing on her delicate face.

She had known for two years who the mysterious boy she had met that night in the Alabasta Royal Palace was.

The photos that appeared in the newspapers one after another completely overlapped with the mysterious boy she couldn't forget.

She also learned his name.

Ron.

Ron the Traveler.

The captain of the Sky Calamity Brigade, a notorious criminal wanted by the Navy and the World Government.

Even Crocodile was extremely wary of him, and Crocodile had seriously injured him when Crocodile was a teenager.

As Weiwei grew older, she gradually understood what the new world he had described was like, and the meaning of the stone tablet he had taken away.

"Donghai...did you go to Donghai? Will you pass through Alabasta then?"

A glimmer of hope and expectation flashed in Weiwei's eyes.

Now, it can be said that Crocodile controls about 80% of Alabasta, and even her father has fallen into his hands. The rebel army is growing stronger every day, and Vivi, even as a princess, is of no use in the current chaotic Alabasta.

She had no choice but to flee Alabasta and infiltrate Baroque Works, hoping to uncover and investigate Crocodile's collusion with Baroque Works to overthrow the entire country. Perhaps this would offer a sliver of hope in persuading the rebels within the country and averting civil war.

But after Vivi infiltrated Baroque Works, she discovered how deep the waters ran, and that it was very unlikely she could accomplish such a thing on her own.

But if that person could come to Alabasta again, perhaps all the problems could be solved...

Princess Vivi secretly hoped for this.

correct.

He once told himself to tell someone named Luffy that he would be waiting for him in the New World.

Is Luffy... his friend?

If we find that person named Luffy, will we be able to meet him?

Princess Vivi's eyes lit up slightly.

She immediately went to inquire about someone named Luffy.

…………

In the New World, the news that Ron the Traveler had returned to the sea after two years also surprised many people.

"That kid may be a troublemaker, but he's definitely got some skills, guralala!"

Whitebeard laughed.

Marshall D. Teach, still a member of the Second Division, held a wooden barrel in his hand and grinned at Ace, who was squatting down, saying, "Captain Ace, you were right."

"of course."

Ace looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed, "He's the target I'm chasing. How could he die so easily, even if his opponent is Kaido?"

As Ace spoke, he looked around at the Whitebeard Pirates' captain and crew: "I still remember all the bets you lost to me before. Hurry up and settle the Beli for me."

"What's the rush? I know."

I'll give it to you later.

"I bought some alcohol recently and I don't have any money on me right now. I'll pay you back later."

The white-bearded man, still on an IV drip, watched them laughing and joking, and couldn't help but chuckle a few times before pouring the wine gourd beside him into his mouth.

"Dad, he was able to seriously injure Kaido two years ago. Now that he has been lying low for two years, if his strength increases again, he may really become the next Shanks."

Marco squatted down next to Whitebeard and spoke.

Whitebeard took a swig of sake. "Becoming the next Shanks isn't so simple. That guy is someone even I have to take seriously. His strength is far more unfathomable than Kaido's. That kid has great potential, but he probably hasn't reached Shanks' level yet, neither he nor his crew."

"Even so, facing someone comparable to the Four Emperors, should we do something? Should we befriend them or...?"

Marco asked.

Whitebeard shook his head: "We don't need to do anything. Let's see what Kaido does next."

"Dad, do you think Kaido will declare war on them?"

"It's hard to say, but in any case... this sea is going to get lively."

The white-bearded man drank his wine in large gulps.

…………

Upon hearing the news, neither Whole Cake Island nor the Red-Haired Pirates, like the Whitebeard Pirates, made any move.

In an instant, all eyes in the New World turned to Wano Country, where Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, resided.

We await Kaido's response.

………………

The sea trembled and boiled at the news.

Donghai, Rogge Town.

Tashigi also learned of this from the Marines who came from the Marine branch to take over the pirates.

"Huh?! Ron, the traveler who disappeared at sea for two years, reappeared in the East China Sea a couple of days ago?! And he even fought with that Hawkeye Mihawk?!"

Tashigi stared at the naval soldier in front of her, her face full of surprise.

"It's absolutely true, this matter has already been reported to headquarters."

"Is Commander Smoker aware of this?"

"I probably... don't know yet."
