Kapitel 302: Chapter 302: The Town of the Spring Queen
"...Let's not even talk about the name of this expertise."
"Why is even the description so weird?"
Adrian felt a bit puzzled.
When he first entered the Grand Line, the sub-profession of [Navigator] and the skill [Advanced Navigation] had both been maxed out, automatically triggering the upgrade task for the sub-profession [Wind Wielder].
This time, it might have been because Adrian had already ventured into the New World and even delved deep into Wano Country, that he managed to trigger the subsequent upgrade task for [Weather Prophet] during the Paradise phase.
The upgrade of the Navigator series tasks.
Among a series of sub-professions, it may not be the most difficult to complete, but it is definitely the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.
From the initial sea current map of the entire West Blue to completing at least four routes in the Paradise phase, all are tasks that are not very difficult but incredibly detailed.
This time, the [Weather Prophet] task difficulty reached Grade A, requiring navigation to the last island reachable by the Log Pose—Lodestar Island.
But then again.
Does the New World even have so-called "routes"?
Adrian looked at the task requirements on the panel, momentarily at a loss for words.
It's worth noting that [Weather Prophet] is only the fourth-level sub-profession in the Navigator series, roughly equivalent to the Sword Master level among swordsmen.
The upgrade requirements for this level of sub-profession already demand charting parts of the New World's sea map.
To be fair, the difficulty is indeed high.
"The key point is that such requirements are really unfriendly to solo players!"
Adrian looked at the new task on the panel and silently shook his head.
"Although Navigators are indeed more like a team-oriented sub-profession."
"But comparatively speaking, the completion difficulty of [Weather Prophet] is almost catching up to [Scholar]!"
"For ordinary people, even for regular pirate crews, whether it's completing a route in the New World or coming into contact with a piece of red Poneglyph, these are all tasks that are practically impossible to accomplish."
"I really don't know what new upgrade sub-professions will appear later."
As for the new expertise accompanying the sub-profession task [Child of Weather].
Adrian found it hard to understand its expertise effect.
Making the weather clear up, is that even a capability?
The key point is that this [Child of Weather] is a random passive ability, not an active one.
How "easier" is "easier"?
If it requires sheer luck to encounter clear weather.
Adrian silently checked his luck attribute.
He felt that he might follow in the footsteps of Golden Lion, becoming the next top pirate to fall in a severe storm...
Additionally.
Adrian also felt that the two consecutive specialties [Wind Wielder] and [Weather Prophet] had conflicting abilities.
[Sensitive Skin] allows sensing the surrounding humidity to predict the weather in advance.
While [Child of Weather] clears up the weather.
Doesn't this essentially nullify the previous ability to sense humidity?
If the weather is always clear, what's the point of predicting it?
Adrian shook his head slightly again and set aside the rather vexing sub-profession upgrade task of [Weather Prophet].
After tidying up his mood a bit, Adrian prepared to disembark.
During the process of sorting out the harvest from the upgrade of [Wind Wielder], they had arrived at Town of the Spring Queen!
...
Saint Poplar Island is a small island that is forever in spring.
The island is not large, and it only houses the Town of the Spring Queen, similar to the island city of Water 7.
This is a small island with a beautiful and luxurious appearance. Looking from afar, the buildings are neatly arranged, row upon row, with lush green colors symbolizing life everywhere.
Adrian actually had a certain impression of the Town of the Spring Queen.
It wasn't due to the rumored "Pleasure Street," but actual information from the original work. {--}
The setting of this island city appeared in the cover stories of the original manga. After the Straw Hat crew's decisive battle at Enies Lobby, several CP9 members, having failed their mission and being betrayed by their superior Spandam, were pursued by the World Government.
In their hurried escape, the CP9 members found themselves on the island of St. Poplar, the Town of the Spring Queen, where they made a living by performing.
To gather funds for Rob Lucci's injuries inflicted by Luffy, the remaining CP9 members performed various acts on this island, including but not limited to geisha performances, animal taming, giraffe sliding, and street cleaning.
They could be considered the most down-to-earth Devil Fruit users!
Of course, Adrian wasn't interested in these yet-to-happen events. What he cared about was whether this bustling commercial city truly had a "Pleasure Street."
Ahem!
No other reason. Adrian swore eternal enmity with gambling and drugs! He only heard that Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street, was a CP0 intelligence agent and wanted to see if she was really that strong.
Additionally, he wanted to probe the so-called "Strongest Shield of the Celestial Dragons" to see how formidable they truly were.
After all, the CP0 member list in the original work was too little. Even someone as weak as Spandam, with a doriki of 9, could enter CP0. It was hard to imagine how such an organization could be worthy of the title "Strongest Shield of the Celestial Dragons"!
Even Rob Lucci, who mysteriously joined CP0 two years later, was only so so in Adrian's eyes.
Stussy, as the Queen of Pleasure Street and one of the emperors of the underworld, could instantly kill Loan Shark King Du Feld from thousands of meters away. Her strength was certainly formidable.
{ル・フェルド, Ru Ferudo, Du Feld| Lu Feld, God of Fortune}
As for whether Stussy had made an appearance at this point in time...
Let's put it this way.
Adrian remembered very clearly that in the Whole Cake Island arc, the young and beautiful blonde Stussy referred to the 68-year-old Charlotte Linlin as "Little Linlin." There was even information stating, 'Stussy's age is the most classified secret; few know her true age, whether in the underworld or the government.' (Sourced from Oda's Vivre Card information.)
{Vivre Card Databook on thelibraryofohara}
These two points alone were enough to prove Stussy's age and strength!
"I once encountered a very foolish question."
"Who would you choose between a fifty-year-old human woman and a five-hundred-year-old elf?"
"Which one?"
"I'd choose the prettier one, of course!"
I mean who wouldn't
Adrian recalled Stussy's exquisite face and nodded silently. Hopefully, the Queen of Pleasure Street had already begun to make her mark by now.
In the bustling and prosperous port, workers were coming and going incessantly. The massive Abyss ship slowly docked at the pier. As soon as they set foot on the island, Shanks spotted a familiar face.
"Uncle Moon?"
"莫恩大叔?"
Noticing the situation, Adrian raised an eyebrow. Was the third old member of the Roger Pirates finally going to appear?
