Chapter 72: First Day in the New World! Okay! We can set off! ...
First day in the new world:
Wendy now has two destinations - one is to go to Wan Guo to find Mourning Glory; the other is to go to Shanks (blurred) to find (crossed out) to get Raftel's map.
Banko's position is fixed, but Shanks's direction... is very mysterious.
Although Wendy played a wooden sign on Shanks' ship, and the wooden sign will be displayed on the map, it will not be visible once she enters the black unopened area on her map.
Wendy herself had never been to the New World, and relied on the maps shared by her companions.
Wendy couldn't help but sigh at the thought - if she had turned on the global positioning mod, she wouldn't have lost track of any of her friends... But things have priorities, and she only has three friends now. One is by her side, one has settled down and her location is clear, and one has a room with her wooden signs, so she feels that this mod is not important.
I'll wait until I've gathered all my friends! It'll be very convenient to use GPS then! — Wendy made up her mind.
Besides, GPS isn't really that important... She looked at the parent-child mod description and thought the "you can check your child's status at any time" feature built-in GPS. There's even a private chat channel. If the kids find themselves in a black area, let them explore! Open the map for them! — Wendy clenched her fist, feeling quite clever.
The two of them returned home first. Along the way, Wendy opened some new maps and beat a bunch of new cards... Later, because there were too many cards, it was too troublesome to teleport, so she smashed some cards.
Hawkeye watched her frantically trying to figure out what she was doing and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you just doing useless, repetitive work?"
"You're wrong, Mihawk," Wendy said with an enigmatic expression. "So-called games, just like life, involve repetitive and meaningless tasks. That's part of the fun."
Hawkeye: “…”
This guy said something that sounded very philosophical, but when you think about it carefully, it makes no sense at all.
But he naturally wouldn't be so lacking in emotional intelligence as to refute anything at this time. He just hummed and watched the other party continue to busy himself.
After the two finally returned home, Wendy started to get busy again - first she put down the things she had collected this time, and then she started to plant new crops and stock up more in preparation for the upcoming long-distance trip and returning to the refrigerator.
Of course, at this time, Hawkeye must help, and those baboons cannot sit idle either.
Because there are always no friendly fruit flies, Wendy has become tired of talking to plants and starts asking Hawkeye to train baboons to play music for the plants.
As for Wendy, she cooks when she is free.
…Her life seemed aimless, yet fulfilling.
Hawkeye had just come up with this idea, but then he felt it was wrong - not really, her ultimate goal was to ascend the throne. It was just that during the process of ascending the throne, she liked to be distracted and do other things...
And during this preparation process, the time to load the Yongxian mod has arrived.
Wendy even changed into a new set of clothes for this moment, happily loaded the Forever Fresh mod, and put the ingredients that had been left outside so that they would become stale into the refrigerator to show Hawkeye the magic of the fresh-keeping refrigerator, and then made the announcement at the end.
"Alright! We can go now!"
***
If you take the underground route to Fishman Island to the New World, you will need to coat your ship and it is quite dangerous.
After asking Wendy and finding out that she didn't plan to explore Fish-man Island this time, Hawkeye directly gave her a plan - let Wendy stay in the Sabaody Archipelago and go there after passing Fish-man Island.
Even though Wendy can be resurrected all the time...it doesn't mean he can get used to seeing Wendy get into trouble.
Anyway, Wendy's wooden sign teleportation limit is a straight-line distance. After leaving Fishman Island, you arrive in the New World, which is not far from the Sabaody Archipelago. You can just make an appointment with Wendy for the time to teleport.
Wendy agreed obediently, and then probably felt that their current ship looked ugly because it had too many patches on it, so she smashed the old ship and replaced all the parts with spare parts. She also went to the Seven Waters City and found Tom to ask for the blueprint for a new ship.
Wendy's request was also very clear: "We are going to the New World and we need a sturdy ship."
"So we're going to pass by Fishman Island?" Tom said, nostalgic as he mentioned his hometown. "And then we'll need to coat the ship. Do you know a shipbuilder who can do that?"
Wendy nodded, "Mihawk knows."
"That's right... Hawkeye's been to the New World, so it's normal for him to know this." Tom nodded, carefully picking out a blueprint from his collection and handing it to Wendy. "This blueprint will definitely be able to dive into the sea!"
"What? Wendy is going to the New World? That's very dangerous!" Fram, who was originally carrying materials over there, heard the words and his eyes lit up. He immediately came over and handed Wendy a design blueprint. "Take this! This is the battleship I just designed! If you encounter the enemy, you can use this to launch a super attack!"
"Stop stuffing your nonsense around! Wendy, don't listen to this guy." Bingshan also came over. Seeing that his teacher and junior brother had given theirs, he felt it would be awkward to go empty-handed, so he also gave her a blueprint. "From what I have, this is probably the one that best suits your needs, right?"
Wendy accepted the three blueprints with satisfaction, studied them there, and then went to the wreckage island to work all day, snatched a wave of wood from Tom, and then said goodbye to him happily.
Tom is a really good murloc! Just like in previous games where fish drop around the murloc's house for her to pick up, she can also occasionally pick up blueprints and planks from Tom! No need to chop wood herself!
What she didn't know was that after she left, the three people in Tom's studio all looked serious on their faces.
"Wendy is going to the New World... Well, that's the territory of the Four Emperors, and the World Government shouldn't have infiltrated that much..." Tom's face showed some worry.
Fram was a little confused: "But were the people who came to investigate Wendy at that time really from the World Government? They didn't look like they were from the Navy..."
"That's CIPHER POL, an intelligence agency directly under the World Government." Iceberg explained with a serious look on his face.
I just don't know which branch it is...
It looks like Wendy's past is catching up with her... I hope Hawkeye can indeed protect her.
***
If Bingshan's thoughts were known to those who came to investigate, they would probably remain silent - just look at those Tianlong people who still dare not go out! Who are they trying to protect?
Because they knew that Wendy's identity was very special and complicated, the requirements from above were to find out Wendy's past and identity, but they could not harm Wendy or cause conflict... They felt that the higher-ups probably chose to protect the murderer in this duel of unequal power.
However, they are just executors and do not need to think too much about the orders themselves.
The protected murderer teleported back to the Sabaody Archipelago and rebuilt the ship.
Everything was fine when Hawkeye went to find the ship coating, because Wendy was curiously watching the coating, and with Hawkeye by her side, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
When Hawkeye went to Fish-Man Island, she felt bored and went on patrol on the island. After seeing the lone Celestial Dragon, she got so excited that she went online and scored twice, and looted the Celestial Dragon's suit and slave collar. Then, seeing that the time was almost up, she teleported away directly.
"Mihawk!" Wendy changed out of the Celestial Dragon suit she was using as camouflage. She had worn out one suit before and gave one to Dragon, so she only had two suits left. Fortunately, she now had new supplies, so she looked very happy.
Hawkeye looked at the new trophy she showed him and was silent - well, Wendy was happy, but someone else might be unhappy.
This is indeed the case. Because in the Sabaody Archipelago, it was Kizaru who handled the matter this time.
But even if he was as fast as light… when he learned who was responsible, he acted like a tortoise, and he had a legitimate reason: "This player's matter has long been handed over to CP0. We have no right to interfere."
And all his naval colleagues agreed with his words this time - hadn't you already transferred the power a long time ago!
The World Government really couldn't say anything.
And, privately, in Mary Geoise...
"CP0 said she disappeared suddenly and left no trace."
"So, the corpse she left behind last time was just her means of escape."
"...What if it's a means of resurrection?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
"But I'm still not sure if she's really related to Lord Yimu."
"Do you want to ask Lord Yimu?"
"There's too little information right now. We need to get more information before we can report. We can't bother Lord Yimu with seemingly plausible things."
"You say... could she really be Lord Yimu's niece?"
This question caused everyone present to fall into a long silence again.
After a long time, someone slowly spoke.
"This kind of thing is not impossible..." He looked at someone, "Don't you also have a son who is living away from home and rebelling against his will, Ancient Saint Fergalando Green?"
***
"I think we can go find Shanks first!" After sailing in the New World for two days, Wendy looked at the map and suddenly said.
Hawkeye was experienced with the other party's impulsiveness and knew there must be a reason for it. He asked, "Did you see Shanks and the others on the map?"
"Yeah, right here." Wendy happily pointed out the location to Hawkeye, then walked directly to the wooden sign and teleported. "I'll go over first, Mihawk, come quickly!"
"Wait..." Before Hawkeye could finish his words, Wendy had already teleported.
Hawkeye: “…”
Wasn't there a five-second countdown? Hadn't this guy already pressed the teleport button before pointing him in the direction?
But Wendy couldn't be blamed, because she thought Hawkeye would just use the teleportation sign with her, so she went over and waited for Hawkeye.
It’s just that... Wendy’s sudden appearance would be one thing, but if he suddenly appeared in Red Hair’s territory, things would definitely get out of hand.
Hawkeye closed his eyes resignedly—never mind, he'd just have to hurry over. He hoped Wendy wouldn't just come right out and say, "I'm going to Raftel, give me the map!"
On the other hand, Wendy's dazzling appearance did scare a large number of people and caused a small commotion.
“Who is it?!”
"Someone suddenly appeared on our boat?! We're at sea!"
"Enemy attack?!"
"When did you get here?!"
"Wait, this enemy looks familiar..."
"...Oh, no... Wait... Wendy? Is that Wendy?"
Wendy completely ignored the group of NPCs making a fuss and smiled broadly at the red-haired young man standing at the bow with a look of astonishment on his face. "Finally found you, Shanks!"
"...You all, calm down." The red-haired young man said this to his subordinates with a cold face. After a smile, he looked at Wendy and asked with a smile, "So this wooden sign has this function... Long time no see, Wendy. Did you come here to talk to me this time?"

First, let's test the stability of our friendship!
At this point in time, Luffy is 8 years old, Ace Sabo is 11 years old, and Roger has been executed for 13 years. A total of more than 5,000 days have passed.
