After passing the area where the battle had taken place, Kuro lay back down on the deck chair, picked up the invitation he had received from the original pirate crew of this pirate ship, and read it over.
The above is a message to all dear pirates: Let's drink to our hearts' content, friend or foe alike, and enjoy a unique kind of fun. We welcome all who come and do not pursue those who leave. The world's greatest feast—the Pirate Expo—offers your sincere invitation to participate.
We've also prepared some entertainment for this time, including a fun treasure hunt game featuring Gol D. Roger from One Piece.
The suffix is Buena Festa, captain of the Celebration Pirates.
"Goldo Roger..."
Smoker said in a deep voice beside him, "Festa dares to use his name as a gimmick, so there must be something to it. As far as we know, he really does have a so-called treasure of the Pirate King, but we don't know what it is."
"Whatever it is."
Kuro tossed the invitation aside and said, "That's not our purpose. I'm here for revenge. Barrett and Festa destroyed my G-3, so I'll destroy their celebration."
“It’s best not to act rashly, Kuro. Finding out what kind of treasure he possesses would be important,” Smoker said.
“Not interested. We’re the Marines. The treasure of that former Pirate King has nothing to do with us. Even the pointer that leads to Laugh Tale is irrelevant to us,” Kuro said calmly.
“Laugh Tale?” Smoker’s pupils contracted, and he almost dropped the cigar he was biting. “You have any news, Kuro!”
"How would I know? I just mentioned it offhand." Kuro rolled his eyes.
He genuinely didn't know. Not to mention he was already unaware of the plot's developments—after all, the plot was limited when he arrived, and even if he did know, he wouldn't be able to remember all of it.
A Marine dressed as a pirate ran over and said, "Captain, we've found an island!"
"Um?"
Kuro sat up and looked ahead. In the distance, the outline of an island had appeared.
It was an island that rose in the middle, with its front end splitting into a waterway, while the center was a hollow circle. Passing through that straight waterway, it split to the left and right, forming a three-way waterway.
This is a natural trading port.
"Waaah—"
A whistling sound came from not far away. Turning my head, I saw a sea train passing by, heading towards the island.
Kuro asked in surprise, "They even have a sea train? Which island is this?"
Smoker said, "Greygate is a trading town connected to Zatannorsen by train, but it wasn't this lively before. It seems that many businesses have moved here because of the festival."
Even before they got close, they could see the fireworks that were being set off from the island from time to time, as well as a large number of ships on the waterway, and the faint sounds of bustling noise, all indicating that the island was very lively.
"That Festa guy is really good at running a tourism business."
Kuro stroked his chin and pondered, "First of all, it has built a good reputation. In addition, it is only held once every few years, which makes people look forward to it. If it is placed in the tourism industry, it will be a grand event and can also boost the industry. Not bad, not bad."
Your idea was great, but it'll be mine in the next second!
He was thinking about whether he should try this model himself. His "one-stop" tourism business hadn't opened yet, but he figured it would be soon. Once it was fully built, he would organize a similar celebration, once every few years.
Yes! Let's do it that way.
The Tezzolo will not be used for the time being. Once it is repaired, it will be used once every few years. At other times, the sea train or ordinary ships will suffice.
call out!
Bang!
Another burst of fireworks exploded, and at that moment, Kuro's ship approached the island and entered the sea lane.
Honestly, the navy has no intelligence about such a lively place.
What I thought was a tree-lined path was actually bustling with traffic.
The seaway is lined with ports, where many pirate ships dock and loiter around the nearby shops.
There are also all kinds of commercial ships on the sea route.
"Hey, Kuro, isn't that Baratie?"
Suddenly, Lida tugged at Rakuro's sleeve and pointed to a ship moored on the sea route, saying, "That's Baratie, isn't it? I've seen similar ones before. The ship's face is exactly the same as the curly eyebrows of that straw hat!"
Not far away, a ship was moored on the sea route. Its door resembled the face of a person with blond hair, curly eyebrows, and thick lips. There was a similar ship in the Balati of the East China Sea; it was a branch ship.
And it's located here...
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had Barratier,” Lida said, biting her finger.
Kuro sighed, "Alright, let's go take a look. I haven't eaten in ages."
The ship approached and docked at the port near Barati.
“Hey, I’m not going, Tashigi, let’s go gather intelligence,” Smoker said.
"You'd better be careful."
Kuro nodded and said to the others, "Go explore on your own, but be careful of the Den Den Mushi and don't get too scattered."
"yes!"
The sailors said in unison that they were also envious of this place, after all, who doesn't like excitement?
Kuro himself, along with some of his men, headed towards Baratie.
Baratie's ship was docked at the harbor, where a staircase led directly through the gate. Kuro and his men walked straight up the stairs and entered the harbor.
There were quite a lot of people inside.
Welcome!
A man resembling Popeye, seeing the person enter, immediately rubbed his hands together with a twisted smile and said, "Guest! This is the famous East Sea restaurant, Baratie. We're opening here for a celebration. You won't be disappointed if you come to our restaurant..."
