Chapter 5: Mignon Island
Chapter 5 - 5: Mignon Island"It's so peaceful!"
Leaning against the side of the boat, gazing at the seagulls soaring in the distant sky, Rhodes exhaled slowly.
Sailing on the sea was actually a rather tedious affair. All one could see was the endless expanse of the ocean. The occasional passing seagull could be considered a highlight, which was why pirates in this world were so fond of holding banquets.
"Because I didn't want to stir up any trouble, I kept away from other ships along the way."
Nelu glanced down at the sea chart and noted that they were very close to Mignon Island.
"However, I am quite looking forward to the Grand Line. It's said that all sorts of extreme weather conditions can occur there at any moment. Even if it was sunny just a second ago, massive waves or even stone-sized hail could appear in the next."
"Hahaha, you'll see it soon enough."
Rhodes clapped Nayru on the shoulder and said with a hearty laugh.
Not only Neru, but he too was filled with anticipation for that sea region. The weather that could change in an instant, all sorts of unique scenery he had never witnessed before, and a variety of delicious foods – each of these things made him eager for the journey ahead.
"Are you guys heading to the Grand Line?"
Nia, who was fishing on the other side with a fishing rod in hand, twitched her ears, then turned slightly and asked casually.
"Yes, anyone who ventures into this sea would yearn for that route! There, there's beautiful scenery, delicious food, castles made of gold, islands flying in the sky, and islands hidden in the deep sea!"
"Become a pirate?"
"Why, are you regretting inviting us two soon-to-be pirates now?"
"That sort of thing doesn't matter to me. I'm no longer at the age where I see things in black and white. Even among pirates, there are honorable individuals who adhere to a moral code; even within the navy, there are also scoundrels who bring disaster to regions.
So, as long as they don't get in my way, it doesn't matter whether they're pirates or marines."
"In other words, as long as they bother you, it doesn't matter if they're navy or pirates, right?"
Nia snorted and didn't reply, but she put away her fishing rod.
She had been fishing for ten minutes without a single catch. It was boring, so she decided to stop.
"Say, do you want to join my crew?"
Rhodes suddenly invited Nia.
"Idiot, you're on my ship right now!"
Nia didn't answer, simply waved her hand and headed towards the kitchen. Fishing was pointless, so she should check if there was anything tasty in the kitchen. There should still be some of the dried fish she bought earlier.
However, was this guy also planning to set sail?
Nia was slightly dazed as she mechanically chewed on the dried fish.
She was a very curious and adventurous person. Over the years, she had traveled all over the North Sea and witnessed all sorts of things, from the brutality of pirates to the greed of the navy and the ignorance of the common people. She was completely tired of the monotonous things and scenes in the North Sea.
She truly longed to see a different kind of scenery...
Two pointed black cat ears suddenly sprouted on Nia's head, trembling slightly. Her pair of yellow vertical pupils contracted unconsciously, and a slow smile bloomed on her face.
Grand Line, she also wanted to go and see it. There should be more varieties of fish there...
On the deck,
"Are you ready to become pirates? I really don't understand the point of being a pirate. It's too boring to drift on the sea all day, facing the endless ocean. And there's no stable environment, so I can't concentrate on my re
But looking at the demeanor of the Felke family, it seemed they didn't intend to let them leave just like that.
But...
Things seemed to be getting more interesting.
At the same time, on the other side of Mignon Island, on the sea not far from the island, a ship was slowly sailing towards Mignon Island.
