Kapitel 13: Chapter 13: travels

With the final goodbyes said, Kaido and the Beast Pirates set sail, leaving Rusukaina behind. Their first destination was Amazon Lily, a brief stop before heading back into the perilous waters of the Grand line. From there, they used an eternal pose that would guide them to Lulusia Kingdom, a distant island that lay on their path.

Their route took them through the eerie Florian Triangle, a stretch of sea known for its thick fog and tales of vanishing ships. However, Kaido and his crew were unfazed. The towering sea monsters that inhabited the region were nothing compared to the beasts they had faced on Rusukaina.

They decided to take long route of Florian Triangle to avoid Marineford, Kaido decided to take no risks. Although he was confident in his strength, there was no reason to engage the Navy just yet.

After passing Florian Triangle as there is no thriller bark yet and Kaido didn't what to do anything with brook, they arrived at Lulusia Kingdom, After docking ship in a remote corner, the crew hide their presence, moving like shadows through the area. "If you don't want anyone to find you, Observation Haki makes you invisible," Kaido had told his crew. "Just don't walk right in front of them."

The crew refilled their supplies at a hidden port, blending into the shadows, undetected by the Navy. With their provisions replenished, they continued their journey, their sights set on the next critical stop—Sabaody Archipelago.

After days at sea, they arrived at Sabaody's shipping area, docking at groove number 56. This part of the archipelago was known for its black market dealings, making it the perfect place for Kaido to remain under the radar. At groove 56, a ship-coater, an old friend of Kaido's, was waiting. The man's weathered face lit up as Kaido's ship approached.

"It's been a while, Kaido!" the ship-coater called out as he prepared his tools. "Looks like you'll be heading to Fish-Man Island, huh?"

Kaido grinned. "You know it. I need that coating done fast."

The coater didn't waste any time, and within three days, the ship was fully coated, ready to plunge into the deep waters of the ocean floor. Fish-Man Island lay below them, the last stop before re-entering the New World. Kaido stood on the deck of his ship, looking out toward the sea, ready to face the next chapter of his conquest.

After three days at bay of 56 groove, sabaody archipelago

The Beast Pirates' ship plunged deeper into the ocean, heading towards the fabled Fish-Man Island, located 10,000 feet below the surface. As they descended, the waters around them grew darker, illuminated only by the bioluminescent glow of the strange and monstrous creatures lurking in the deep.

Massive sea kings, some as large as islands, swam in the abyss. One had the appearance of a giant anglerfish with sharp, needle-like teeth and an eerie glowing orb hanging from its head, illuminating the murky water. Another was a colossal squid, its enormous tentacles stretching out into the darkness, curling and unfurling as if sensing their ship's presence. There were also leviathan-like creatures with serpent-like bodies, their scales shimmering faintly as they slithered through the deep ocean.

Yet, despite their size and ferocity, none of the creatures dared to approach the Beast Pirates' ship for long. Whenever one got too close, it was swiftly thrown aside by the sheer force of Kaido's Haki, his presence alone enough to ward off even the mightiest of sea kings. Kaido stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze fixed on the abyss ahead, a confident smirk on his face as the sea creatures fled from his power.

Navigating through these dangerous depths was no easy feat, even for the most skilled of sailors. The strong currents and the crushing pressure of the deep ocean would have been a nightmare for any ordinary crew. But Kaido's ship, reinforced with his crew's experience made the journey possible. The navigator's hands were steady, guiding them through the watery maze with precision.

Suddenly, in the distance, a glowing, fantastical sight appeared—a city illuminated by the soft light of coral and sea stones. The magnificent domes of Fish-Man Island came into view, a sprawling underwater metropolis encased in a giant bubble. Towers of coral and vibrant underwater structures dotted the landscape, giving the city a dreamlike quality. It was a sight few from the surface ever had the chance to behold, and it marked the end of their perilous descent.

"We're here," Kaido rumbled, his eyes gleaming as the city came closer.

As they approached the island, Kaido gave orders to Jack. "Go talk to the security and get us permission to stay. Make sure they know we're not here to cause any trouble—yet."

Jack nodded and leapt off the ship, making his way towards the Fish-Man Island guards who were stationed at the gates. Despite his intimidating presence, he followed Kaido's instructions and negotiated their entry. The guards, visibly nervous in the presence of the Beast Pirates, granted them the necessary permits after a tense exchange.

With their permission to dock secured, Kaido and his crew hired a skilled ship-coater to prepare their vessel for the next stage of their journey, ensuring it could withstand the pressures of the deeper seas they would face later.

"Now that's taken care of," Kaido said, turning to his crew. "Let's explore this city."

With a satisfied grin, Kaido led his crew into the heart of Fish-Man Island, the strange and wondrous city stretching out before them, ready for them to explore its depths.
