On the sea.
The ship with a pirate flag was rapidly moving through the sea.
In the top cabin of the ship, Ross was sweating as he was doing the most basic push-ups on the reinforced floor.
On his shoulders, he is carrying two huge steel dumbbells; this weight was enough for him to exercise.
“Nine hundred and ninety-three, nine hundred and ninety-four…”
Ross constantly lifts up his body and the muscles on his arms were completely taut. The torso that seemed to be no different from any average person had enough power to smash any pirate with the bounty of 50 million berries.
“Nine hundred ninety-nine, one thousand!”
The counting of numbers continues.
When the number reached one thousand, Ross finally stopped. Putting the weights on his shoulders down to relieve the tension on his shoulders, he lied down on the floor to rest, breathing heavily.
Sweat continually flows out of his body, soaking the floor.
Thump!
There was a knock on the door outside.
Ross lay there, too lazy to get up and open the door, so he directly said in a lazy voice:
“Come in.”
“Here is your Lemon tea.”
Robin walked in with a plate and there was a teacup on it. She saw Ross lying there without any care and smiled slightly at him before placing the plate on the table next to him.
Ross rested for a few more seconds before he got up and took the cup from the table and drank it in on go.
“Where are we now?”
“According to Captain’s calculation yesterday, we should have arrived near the Kano Country,” Robin whispered.
Although she was not very proficient in navigation, she has asked Ross to teach her and she has also learned quickly while on the sea, so right now she has learned more than enough to be a navigator of a regular ship.
Naturally.
Whether it’s Ross or Robin, their navigation techniques are not enough to sail the Grand Line, after all, the climate on the Grand Line is really weird and unpredictable.
Ross doesn’t want to waste any Talent Proficiency points on the Navigation talent, not to mention that he was often too lazy to measure the wind direction of sea maps himself.
That will waste too much practice time.
So no matter what, this ship still needs a professional-level navigator but this is West Blue, If it was the East Blue, Ross would not mind abducting the Loli version of Nami.
“Have we already arrived in Kano Country?”
Ross gradually calmed down the feeling of weakness and fatigue from his body while hearing Robin’s report and put the cup down: “If the information is correct, we should be able to find Polar Bear pirates in Kano Country which has 45 million Berries bounty on them.”
Robin nodded: “There should be no problem with the information, but this Kano Country… is not a friendly country.”
“I know.”
Ross smiled.
Kano Country controls a huge official pirate force, the most powerful of which is the Happo Navy. The leader is Don Chinjao, who once sailed on the Grand Line, with the bounty of 500 million Berries and later has his head flattened by Garp’s fist damaging his strength greatly.
“Kano Country’s influence is strongest in the Grand Line, West Blue’s side only has some reserve force, except for maybe Leader Don Chinjao who is enjoying life here in retirement, but it is unlikely that we will encounter him.”
“Captain seems to know Kano Country very well.”
