Sengoku called Smoker and told him to contact the people in Logue Town.
He didn't want to talk about it on the barrage because he didn't want other forces to know.
[Aokiji: The ship is going really fast! It's three times faster than our top warship, and it's still getting faster!]
[Franky: What kind of energy does it use? It's so efficient!]
[Big Mom: If this was used in war, it would be amazing!]
[Smoker: It's not going to Loguetown. It's heading to the Calm Belt!]
Smoker was shocked when he realized where the ship was headed.
He knew that the Marine Science Department was working on a warship that could sail across the Calm Belt, but he didn't think they were close to making it a reality.
[Whitebeard: Everyone knows that the Calm Belt is dangerous.]
[Kid: These guys are crazy. Even if their ship is made of steel, those monsters in the Calm Belt can still swallow it whole.]
[Law: It's too risky to sail through the Calm Belt, even if it saves time. The Calm Belt is not just a place where sailboats can't sail without wind. There are many other dangers, such as sea monsters and poisonous air.]
Law thought that the power of the ship did not come from the sails, but from some other source.
He wondered if the ship could consciously overcome the windless force of the Calm Belt and sail through it.
[Sengoku: Do they have that technology too?]
[Kizaru: Sengoku, I'm in charge of the Science Department's safety. You should have more faith in me!]
Sengoku thinks Kizaru is lazy, but he trusts the science department.
The ship is approaching Calm Belt, but the crew is still relaxing.
They seem oblivious to the danger.
The ship started from Longguo.
The ship sailed through the Calm Belt without any problems.
Everyone watched with bated breath.
Vegapunk in Egghead, watch carefully.
[Vegapunk: the ship's hull and seastone were fused together, so the Sea Kings couldn't detect it.]
[Kizaru: even so, the Sea Kings would still be able to see it if they appeared.]
Suddenly, the calm sea exploded with a bang!
A Sea King appeared, about the size of a wild boar, with colorful lace around its neck.
A giant Sea King emerged from the sea to breathe.
It was over 1,000 meters long and had eyes that could be seen for miles.
The crew of Jason remained calm, even though they knew that the Sea King could easily destroy their ship.
They took a picture of the Sea King and continued on their journey.
The Sea King didn't seem to notice the ship, and it passed by without incident.
The Sea King splashed towards the ship, but it didn't hit the ship.
Instead, it hit a transparent barrier. When the Sea King touched the barrier, it created colorful ripples that disappeared a moment later.
[Vegapunk: the ship was using an energy shield to cloak itself from view.
[Judge: we have been unable to develop such technology.]
[Rocks: the ship was more powerful than even the top warships of my time.]
[Rayleigh: that such technology was still beyond the reach of most people today.]
[Sengoku: Wow, the Dragon Kingdom's technology is amazing! would you be willing to share their technology with the Marines? If you share this technology with the Marines, no pirate will be able to escape from us in the future!]
[Kaido: Where are the people from the Dragon Kingdom? Let's discuss a business deal.]
[Whitebeard: Don't sell to the Marines! Selling to them will only lead to more wars around the world, considering what we've seen from the World Government.]
[Sengoku: Newgate, be quiet, you pirate! Our goal is to maintain peace in the sea!]
[Garp: This might not be their most powerful ship. It sounds like they still have some frigates searching for Sea Kings.]
[Unknown Marine: This is impossible! Sea Kings are huge! Even cannonballs are like raindrops to them!]
[Aokiji: We thought the same way before, but we were wrong. We don't know this Dragon Country at all.]
...
Dragon Kingdom
Nami saw messages in the sky.
She looked at Gao Yang and asked, "Are we going to do business with the Marines?"
"We'll see." Gao Yang didn't seem interested in talking to them. "Let's first look at the wealth ranking to see how the audience perceives Dragon Kingdom. Then, we can decide on the next course of action.However, I'm not sure if comparing financial resources is the right way to do this. After all, what power can a transport ship have?"
Nami nodded obediently.
She had her reasons for not trusting the Marines.
After all, when her hometown was in trouble, the Marines, who claimed to be the guardians of justice, did nothing to help her.
...
The ship passed through the Calm Belt quickly and arrived at their destination, the gourmet capital in the first half of the Grand Line.
A large number of guards were waiting for them at the port, led by a famous giant in the underground world.
Everyone recognized him.
