Chapitre 217: Log Pose and Eternal Pose
"So your goal in going to Dressrosa is to find the Kanjo Kanjo no Mi? Are you sure it's there?"
Regarding Eiji's method of overcoming his emotional flaws, which were a barrier to mastering Kenbunshoku Haki, Rayleigh was very supportive. However, he didn't understand why they needed to go to Dressrosa to find the Kanja Kanja no Mi.
It's worth noting that finding a desired Devil Fruit is extremely difficult. Even if available on the market, someone else might get it first by bidding a higher price.
"There's no way. I don't know where the Kanjo Kanjo no Mi is or if someone has already eaten it."
"Then your purpose in going to Dressrosa..."
"Just because I can't doesn't mean others can't."
"I see. You want Doflamingo to help you."
Having spent a long time with Shakky, who was an information broker, Rayleigh knew many things that ordinary people didn't. He immediately guessed Eiji's true intention.
On the surface, Doflamingo was the captain of the Donquixote Pirates and a Shichibukai recognized by the World Government. He was also the king of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, highly respected and loved by his people for making Dressrosa very prosperous compared to the previous king. However, he had another secret identity, that of an underworld broker!
Secretly, he sold weapons to countries at war and produced artificial Devil Fruits named Smile for one of the Yonko, Kaido.
"You're right. Doflamingo may be evil, but he is very competent at his job."
Knowing all of Doflamingo's misdeeds, Eiji had no prejudice against him and was willing to cooperate as long as it benefited both parties.
From the start, he never considered himself an ally of justice who would eradicate every evil in the world. He wasn't a saint.
"Dressrosa is in the New World, quite far from Amazon Lily. You'll need a crew and a ship to get there. Have you prepared for this?" Rayleigh asked.
"No. I don't have a ship."
"Then—"
"Traveling by ship takes too long. I'll go to Dressrosa alone; it will save time."
"Oh, could you be flying?"
A photo in the newspaper showed Eiji standing in the air, implying he could fly. Before knowing the Limitless Technique from the person involved, Rayleigh thought Shiki was dead and Fuwa Fuwa no Mi had a new user.
"Mm. If there are no problems, I'll be gone for only one or two days. Rayleigh, don't return to Sabaody yet. This won't take long."
"Sigh... I thought I could use your training break to relax a bit. You're relentless, making this old man work hard, Eiji." Rayleigh smiled wryly.
Soon after, Marguerite brought the Log Pose for Eiji.
"Thank you."
"It's a simple task. Then we'll take our leave."
Not wanting to disturb, Marguerite boarded the ship and returned to the main island.
"So this is a Log Pose."
Eiji looked at the object in his hand, which resembled an hourglass with a large glass bulb in the center and a direction pointer.
The Log Pose is a special type of compass required for navigating the Grand Line. Unlike conventional compasses, the Log Pose does not stick to one direction; instead, it records the magnetic fields between a particular island and the nearest next island, pointing to the latter.
"That's not a Log Pose but an Eternal Pose."
Rayleigh corrected Eiji's words with a slight smile. It was the first time he saw him make a mistake.
"What's the difference?" Eiji asked curiously.
Even in Lin Fan's memory, a Log Pose was just a Log Pose, that was all.
"A Log Pose has a special ability to record the magnetic fields of the island it's on and the nearest island it aims to go to. This continues from one island to the next until the last island at the end of the Grand Line. The recording time for a Log Pose also varies depending on the island. It can take a few hours to several years. Additionally, the direction pointed by the Log Pose is certain and cannot be doubted."
"Unlike a Log Pose, an Eternal Pose is a navigation tool that refers to a specific island. It also comes with the name of the island it points to. No matter how far, the Eternal Pose always points in the same direction. This tool makes it easy for a sailor to go to a specific place whenever they want without fear of getting lost at sea."
"So, a Log Pose directs you to the next island, while an Eternal Pose points to a specific island."
After explaining many things, Rayleigh drank some alcohol to wet his dry throat.
"I see."
This broadened Eiji's knowledge and reinforced that Lin Fan's memory could only be used as a reference, not a guide for every action.
This incident was a perfect example. Lin Fan didn't know the difference between a Log Pose and an Eternal Pose because he didn't care about this small detail.
"I'm going."
Not wanting to delay any longer, Eiji began floating in the air.
"Try to avoid attracting the attention of the Marines! I don't want our relationship to be discovered." Rayleigh shouted.
He just wanted to spend his retirement in peace. He didn't even help Ace, who was his captain's son, when he was executed at Marineford.
Who knows how the Marines would react if they found out he was involved with Eiji.
"I'll be careful." Eiji nodded.
Infinity provided a floating effect like being in space, then he used Red behind him for propulsion.
*WHOOSH*
The next second, his figure disappeared from Rayleigh's view.
"I've long thought the power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi was very practical. Without needing a ship, the user could go anywhere without obstacles."
He felt nostalgic and remembered when dozens of Golden Lion Shiki's pirate fleets surrounded the Roger Pirates. However, nature was on their side, and Shiki's fleet sank due to bad weather.
❀❀❀
On the other side, Eiji stopped flying.
"This is slow."
If any sailors heard his complaint, they would want to switch places.
If flying was considered slow, what about sailors who traveled by ship?
Snail-like?
"Teleportation is much faster."
After saying that, Eiji relied on the Six Eyes' long-distance view, then teleported as far as he could see. He kept repeating this over and over, only stopping to change direction according to the pointer on the Eternal Pose.
Normally, teleporting hundreds of times would exhaust a person. Fortunately, Eiji could output very little Cursed Energy thanks to the Six Eyes. Thus, he seemed to have unlimited Cursed Energy.
In terms of Cursed Energy control alone, he and his cousin were better than Yuta, who had more Cursed Energy than both of them.
"So this is Dressrosa."
After a day of teleporting, facing all kinds of weather changes from rain, snow, storms, strong winds, and more, Eiji arrived in Dressrosa.
From the air, he could see a perfectly circular island.
The architecture of Dressrosa seemed inspired by Spain. The buildings appeared colorful and luxurious, many with wavy patterns and checkered roofs.
The townspeople seemed to live in prosperity, with toys of various shapes roaming the city without disturbing the citizens' lives.
