MM Racing Chapter 79 Departure, Rest, Archaeological Ship
Chapter 79 Departure, Rest, Archaeological Ship
The sky was clear and the water was as blue as if it had been washed.
Three pirate ships with black Union Jack and skull dragon head symbols on their mainsails are sailing swiftly through the waves.
"Captain Kaido!"
On the flagship in the middle of the three pirate ships, Kaido sat cross-legged on the deck, with two Den Den Mushi in front of him.
One of the Den Den Mushi, with its slicked-back hair and a cigar in its mouth, spoke first.
"Is our route heading directly to Kanan Island, the gateway island to the Grand Line?"
Sonny's voice carried a hint of excitement.
The Grand Line!
That's a sea area steeped in countless legends!
Even though the Western Sea is not as closed off as the Eastern Sea, it is still filled with all sorts of longings for the Grand Line.
"Hmm, no rush."
Kaido said with a smile, "This time we won't take the traditional route; we'll change course and go around to those uninhabited islands."
"For so many years, I've either been busy building up the Dragon Kingdom or clearing out pirates in the West Blue. I haven't had a proper adventure in the West Blue yet."
"This is a good opportunity to experience it properly."
Upon hearing this, the second Den Den Mushi, a Den Den Mushi with red braids, spoke in a gentle and intellectual female voice.
"If we're going to take the uninhabited island route, I have a suggestion: we can go to XX Island first, then XX Island... and finally circle back to Kanan Island and enter the Grand Line."
Upon hearing the woman's words, Sonny let out a slightly displeased snort.
"Urro ro ro ro..." Kaido didn't care about Sunny's feelings and said directly, "Machima's suggestion is good, let's do it her way."
Upon hearing this, Sunny was somewhat reluctant, but since Kaido had made a decision, he naturally wouldn't object.
........................
The Beasts Pirates are now setting sail for the Grand Line.
In addition to bringing all 5000 pirates with him, Kaido also brought three additional officers.
First, Capone Sonny, currently the captain of the second ship of the Beast Fleet, nicknamed Godfather, with a bounty of 3300 million Berries.
Second, Mischina Olga, an apprentice and reserve officer who sailed on the main ship with Kaido.
The pure gold ring she wore on her hand had been removed long ago after she was cured of the South China Sea Emperor's fever.
But perhaps because she had been bathed in the pure gold light for too long, even after taking off the ring for more than three years, she only looked like she had grown from 6 to 7 years old, and didn't seem to have changed much.
Third place, Machima.
She is a new member who voluntarily joined the Beasts Pirates over the past two and a half years.
He was originally an agent of CP9, the world government's CP organization.
After meeting Kaido, he confessed everything directly.
He openly stated that he was sent by the World Government to monitor him.
Kaido appreciated her candid attitude and immediately gave her an important position.
Currently, he is temporarily serving as the captain of the third ship of the Beast Fleet.

........................
A month-long journey through the Western Sea passed quickly.
Kaido and his crew visited three uninhabited islands in succession.
The scenery is picturesque.
But in the end, they are still normal islands in normal waters.
Neither animals nor plants exhibited anything too outrageous.
As for the harvest, apart from the change of meat in the ship's granary, there was basically nothing else.
So Kaido and his crew only visited three islands before losing interest in exploring any further.
They then headed to Kanan Island, preparing to officially enter the Grand Line.
"Captain Kaido, this is Opaka Island. It's getting late, shall we go to the island to rest?"
A lookout would then report.
Kaido casually opened the sea chart and glanced at it.
From their current position, if they were to sail normally, it would be at least a day's journey to Guannan Island.
If Kaido were to transform into a blue dragon and carry them, they could probably arrive in an hour or two.
but……
Isn't sailing all about experiencing the process?
If Kaido really wanted to quickly advance into the Grand Line, he would have already led his pirate crew to fly over the Calm Belt.
The reason for going through all this boat travel is simply to train his men.
Therefore, Kaido, after examining the sea map, decisively issued the order: "Go to Opaka Island ahead to rest, and set off again tomorrow for Kanan Island!"
"Oh!!"
The pirates on the ship responded loudly and quickly steered the ship toward Opaka Island.
Sunny and Makima, who were sailing along with him, also received Kaido's orders immediately and subsequently ordered their ships to follow.
Not long after.
As the sun began to set, the Beast Fleet finally arrived at the natural harbor of Opaka Island.
only……
Surprisingly, there was a ship that had docked there even earlier than them.
"Captain Kaido! There's a ship!!"
A pirate ran up to Kaido and asked, "Should we sink it?"
"No need."
Kaido shook his head. "Judging from the fact that they aren't flying a pirate flag, they're most likely not a pirate ship."
"We'll just stop a little further away from them, then go ashore to rest. There's no need to pay any attention to the people on that boat."
The first ship to dock.
The men guarding the ship looked at the Beast Fleet with a tense expression.
"They're pirates...and they have three ships!"
"Oh no! Should we prepare for battle?!"
"No, no need, the other side is the Beasts Pirates!"
"The Beasts Pirates?"
Upon hearing this name, the tension on the faces of the guards immediately dissipated.
"The Beasts Pirates shouldn't attack us. They have an agreement with the World Government; we're not pirates."
As they had predicted, things unfolded exactly as they had expected.
The three ships of the beasts found a slightly distant location to dock.
After that, he went about his own rest and recuperation, completely ignoring them.
The guards on the ship found this scene quite novel.
After all, this was the first time they had ever seen such a harmonious and law-abiding pirate crew.
"Um... um, should we go over and say hello?"
"Isn't that unnecessary..."
"The Beasts Pirates are, in the end, still pirates."
"They just don't attack member states, but they've plundered a lot of ships from non-member states."
"We're not a non-member state ship either!"
"No, it's better to avoid trouble. Since they're unwilling to greet us, there's no need for us to try and win them over."
Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the Den Den Mushi on the ship suddenly made a call.
"Moshi moshi, this is an archaeological ship, what happened?"
"This is Archaeological Team 104. We've encountered pirates on the island!"
