Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

A snake-like sea king, a pirate ship full of women, and a stunningly charming beauty...

"You're lucky to be able to survive when you encounter the Qibukai's raiding ship."

Only now did Wayne have time to take a closer look at the ship.

"Well, the mast has been seriously damaged."

This ship was originally a medium-sized sailing ship, and Wayne found that there were several serious damages on its main mast.

Judging from the traces, it should be a remote blast type trauma.

The Nine Snakes Pirates are wrapped with armed and domineering arrows, which fits this characteristic.

But the hull still bears many battle marks from swords and bludgeoning.

Wayne probably understood why.

Although these two guys seemed to be intimidated very quickly, that was because they had been hit hard not long ago.

They still had a sense of resistance at the beginning, and their fighting power was not weak.

"Are you two the only ones left?"

The Nine Snakes Pirates are actually quite ruthless.

"That Shichibukai's ability is so weird!"

William woke up suddenly, holding his chest with lingering fear:

"The crew members who resisted were turned to stone. We only escaped because of Carl's ability."

"I'm too weak."

Karl sighed dejectedly:

"I ate the teleportation fruit and I can teleport a certain distance.

“But if I take someone with me now, I can only take one person.

"Except for William, I couldn't save anyone else."

"Teleportation fruit..."

Wayne nodded slowly, it was indeed this devil fruit.

For a master of physical arts like him who is proficient in the six forms, the teleportation fruit is of little use.

But for most people, the teleportation fruit is a rare and top-notch devil fruit.

"You can be proud of yourself if you can survive under the hands of Shichibukai."

It seemed that Hancock didn't care at all about the two disappearing guys and just grabbed the supplies and left.

"What about those who were turned into stone?"

If the ability user takes the initiative to remove their abilities, they can still recover.

It's just that she has to meet Hancock and let her take the initiative to remove her abilities...

The probability of success is infinitely close to zero.

"After the Kuja Pirates left, the two of us also tried to move the stone statue into the cabin."

William's eyes were a little red:

"But there was a sudden storm in the sea where we were drifting. We tried our best to prevent the ship from being damaged."

"The stone statues they turned into were either directly destroyed by the storm, or were swept into the sea..."

Karl sat down on the deck and shook his head mockingly:

“Without their help, even though I fought tooth and nail to save the ship, I would only be a half-assed navigator.

“And with just the two of us, it’s impossible to sail on the Grand Route in the weird weather.

“So I can only try my best to ensure that the ship stays in this sea area with a better environment——

"But all the supplies have been taken away, and the fresh water is almost exhausted. If this continues, we will just have to wait to die."

"I see……"

At first, Wayne wondered if it was a gangster attack.

Businessmen may do anything for profit.

Or maybe after being robbed of supplies, they killed other people for the only remaining fresh water resources?

Although the weather on the Grand Line is as weird as they say, storms come at any time.

But compared with natural disasters, man-made disasters are more terrible.

However, his knowledge and color always sensed the emotions of the two people.

Judging from Wayne's experience of seeing countless pirates...

There must be a storm that these two people claimed, but they are unable to protect the stone statue...

Not necessarily.

"Carl!"

Seeing that Wayne remained silent, William quickly winked at Karl.

Karl was stunned for a moment, then woke up immediately, searched around for a while, and presented a horrific hand-drawn chart:

"Sir, this is our navigation route from the time we encountered the storm near the windless zone until now!"

"Oh? Well, it's really half-baked."

Wayne took it and looked at it, but couldn't understand it.

So he handed his record pointer to the blushing Karl:

"According to the record of this pointer, mark the method to the nearest position to the windless zone.

"Besides, just call me Wayne."

"Yes……"

Under William's encouraging eyes, Karl took the record pointer with a wry smile and scratched his head.

"Uh, Master Wayne."

William quietly glanced at Wayne's expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how you look at it, this Wayne is very strong and is their hope for survival.

Wayne's current attitude is still communicative, and he has become bolder.

Glancing quietly at the long sword at Wayne's waist, William clenched and released his hands, and finally came forward and lowered his voice:

"Lord Wayne, do you want to cross the windless zone?"

"Ok?"

Wayne looked at him in surprise.

"Well, it's not surprising if you see it."

He looked at the half-experienced navigator Karl who had already begun to mark the charts, and nodded slowly.

"I want to go to the South China Sea, and crossing the windless zone is the fastest way."

[Isn’t it the most dangerous way? ! 】

William complained in his heart, but he now understood that the Windless Zone was really not invincible.

"Then, Lord Wayne, can you take us with you?"

After struggling for a moment, William finally gritted his teeth and said it under Wayne's half-smiling gaze:

"I know this is an excessive request, but neither we nor this ship can continue sailing, and all the supplies have been snatched away by the Shichibukai.

"Instead of waiting to die here, why not take this opportunity to have an adventure with Master Wayne!"

As he spoke, some humility on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by perseverance:

"Lord Wayne, Karl and I are from the Kingdom of Bliss in the South China Sea, and we have been playing together since childhood.

“When we reached the age where we could drink, we all fell in love with drinking and wanted to taste wines from all over the world one day.

"By chance, we opened a bar together, but then the bar was destroyed..."

Wayne raised his eyebrows, William gritted his teeth and continued:

“We were left with nothing, but it also became an opportunity for us to pursue our dreams.

“So we started from scratch and used the experience we accumulated before to plan to set up a wine shop.

"But the initial success made our ambitions expand - we coveted the business opportunities of the Grand Route."

"Liquor shop? So the supplies you are carrying are all wine?"

Wayne's eyes lit up.

"The original crew members were also your original team?"

"They are the sailors we hired, but they were hired after coming to the Grand Line. When we entered the Grand Line, we followed the ships of the big trading companies."

William sighed:

“When the accident happened, Carl saved me immediately, which is also related to the fact that they looked down on us two employers from all over the world.

"If the two of us hadn't shown some strength when we encountered the pirates, I'm afraid they would have killed us long ago."

"Hehe...smart."

Wayne laughed: "You finally told the truth."

"Lord Wayne, the storm is absolutely true, but it is also true that our hesitation led to our failure to save the stone statue."

William gritted his teeth and whispered:

“But they are hopeless and we just want to survive as much as possible!

“If we hadn’t been able to save the ship that day because of rescuing the stone statue, we wouldn’t have been able to wait for Lord Venn’s arrival today!

"We think we have some fighting power. If Lord Wayne agrees to take us into the windless zone, we will never hold him back if nothing can be done -

"But if we succeed in surviving, we swear to follow Lord Venn forever!"
