Chapter 26 The Ultimate Level of PUA
"Knock knock! Knock knock!"
The rhythmic tapping echoed below the Black Whale.
Under the sunlight, Bonnie, the mature and sophisticated woman, was leading the fishermen and crew on the shore, tapping and patching the bottom of the Black Whale.
"Make sure the left side is firmly tapped! Yes, that's it!"
Before long, the sea stone was inlaid on the fragment of the Adam Tree and installed directly on the bottom of the Black Whale like a large patch.
Bonnie dusted off the sawdust from her hands and returned to Kuroro's side with a smug look on her face, as if she had successfully completed her mission.
"Is that all?" Kuroro looked unsure.
"Of course!" Bonnie puffed out her chest, brimming with confidence.
"I learned to read at three, accidentally swallowed the Fruit of Every Year at five, and was well-versed in 'How to Be a Successful Pirate' by seven!"
Kuroro's forehead twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say:
Speak like a human being!
Bonnie stuck out her tongue and pointed to the group of fishermen behind her.
"These uncles have made a living by fishing at sea since they were young. Although they can't do anything too advanced, repairing boats is a piece of cake for them."
"The technique of using seastone to evade sea kings is not complicated. The principle is that seastone can disguise the aura of ships, making sea kings mistakenly believe that the ships are of the same kind."
The difficulty with this technology lies solely in the fact that Seastone is monopolized by the World Government, and ordinary pirates do not possess such a large reserve of Seastone.
Kuroro nodded silently. Bonney had grown up fighting against the Celestial Dragons and being spurred on by Kuma since she was a child. She was knowledgeable and experienced, so her words were quite credible.
Besides, she's on this ship too; she can't just dig herself out of a hole...
Kuroro got up from the sunchair. The boat was settled; all that was left was to confirm the direction.
He and Bonnie couldn't find their way to the East Sea, but someone on this ship could...
"Bonnie, come with me to see someone."
.........
"Pat...pat..."
Clear footsteps could be heard coming from the dimly lit staircase.
Bonney followed Kuroro to the third level of the Black Whale, where prisoners were held.
From the cells on either side, one could vaguely see some figures huddled or sitting blankly. Bonnie couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Who are these people?"
"It's from my collection." Kuroro said calmly, without turning his head.
"arrive."
The two stood in front of a prison cell. Inside, a man of unusually tall stature, with a broken white wing on his back, had two huge iron chains, each as thick as a baby's arm, piercing his collarbone. He was covered in filth, his hair disheveled, and his head hung low.
"Who is he?" Bonnie asked curiously.
"Someone who can tell us how to get to the East Blue." Kuroro's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"Urki, look who I brought to see you~"
Ulki's body trembled almost imperceptibly in the cell, and he slowly raised his head.
Prolonged periods of being provided with only the bare minimum of food to sustain life have dulled his mind considerably.
He first saw Kuroro, and a deep-seated resentment instantly erupted in his turbid eyes.
Then, his gaze shifted to Bonnie beside him, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"It's you!"
My chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
You can't be wrong!
This woman with pink hair and a fiery personality is none other than "Big Eater" Joni Bonney!
How could she be standing with this devil? According to his calculations, a conflict should have broken out between the two of them so that he could escape in the chaos!
Bonnie recognized him too, raising an eyebrow: "It's you!"
She remembered this guy who called himself "Strange Monk"—six months ago, he had tried to rob the Kingdom of Sorbe, but she had taught him a lesson. His distinctive little wings had left a deep impression on her.
"A woman like you... how could you stoop to be subservient to someone?" Urouge growled incredulously, the chains rattling with his agitation.
"Don't you also dream of being a captain, freely roaming the high seas?!"
This woman is much stronger than him, especially with her troublesome Devil Fruit ability. Urouge really can't understand why she is standing peacefully next to this man, and judging from her position, she seems to have become his subordinate!
Upon hearing Urouge's question, Bonney instinctively glanced at Chrollo in front of her, then lowered her head guiltily, inwardly roaring:
"Idiot! Stop talking! You have no idea how terrifying this man in front of you is!"
Kuroro took in Urouge's reaction, and the smile on his lips widened even more.
"What? Did I ruin your carefully planned scheme?"
"Damn it!! Did you come back just to laugh at me?! Cough cough..."
Urki couldn't help but roar, then coughed uncontrollably as the chains behind him tormented him.
Seeing the man's miserable state, Bonnie became even more determined not to anger Kuroro.
"Of course not~" Kuroro's expression was a half-smile.
"I came to ask you for directions. Now you can tell me which direction the Sky Island is."
"If you don't want to experience something more painful than death..."
Urki's entire body gradually turned gray, revealing an empty, lifeless expression...
His escape plan has completely failed...
Seeing his expression, Kuroro, having achieved his goal, leaned close to Urouge's ear and seductively said:
"Don't be discouraged. Although Bonnie is no good, this ocean is too vast, and there are even more terrifying creatures out there. You'll be able to get out sooner or later. Don't forget, our destination is Sky Island."
"Sky Island..."
Urki's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, Sky Islands!!!
Enel is there! That god-like being who looms over the sky island, overlooking everything!
He himself couldn't bear Enel's oppression, which is why he secretly slipped out to sea!
That man's words... would surely be enough to defeat the person before me.
Then he would have a chance to escape!
Feasible! Plan works!
Urki seemed to have already seen that scene, and his eyes regained their vitality.
Upon seeing this, Kuroro couldn't help but smile.
Yes, that's it. First, instill despair, then create hope. This way, the enemy will be firmly in your grasp due to their fear of death and will obey your every command.
The pinnacle of PUA! The most powerful ability he has mastered over the years in the PUA group!
"I need a pure gold pointer," Urouge said in a hoarse voice.
Bonney looked at Kuroro, who nodded.
Bonnie then took out a pure gold guide from her bosom and handed it to Urki.
"Enter the Grand Line, and sail in the direction that the pointer tilts 35° eastward."
There is an island called Jaya Island. Ships travel from Jaya Island using the upwelling current to reach the highest point... There is an island standing in the air... That is the Sky Island.
Kuroro looked at Bonney, and Bonney nodded.
"The direction he described doesn't belong to any known sea area, so it's highly likely to be true."
Upon seeing this, Kuroro's lips curled up slightly.
"By the way, how do I get to the East China Sea?"
"What are you going to the East China Sea for?" Uroki asked, looking confused.
Isn't the East China Sea the weakest sea? Where would you go to escape the summer heat?
If Urouge knew that Admiral Kizaru and Revolutionary Army leader Dragon were both in the East Blue at that moment, he wouldn't have thought that way...
He could only think that this small, weakest sea realm had simultaneously gathered two brilliant and outstanding individuals!
Urki, whose hope had been rekindled, answered honestly:
"There are two options to cross from the South China Sea to the East China Sea: one is to reach the port city below the Holy Land Mary Geoise, and then take an elevator controlled by the World Government or transport the entire ship across the Red Line to the other side of the East China Sea by land."
"However, this method is firmly controlled by the Navy, making it difficult for pirates to use."
"And the second way... is to set off due north, cross the Calm Belt, and reach the other side of the Grand Line, which is the East Blue."
"Along due north?" Kuroro looked shocked.
"That's right. The Grand Line and the Red Line form a cross shape, dividing the sea into four parts. The East China Sea is directly above the South China Sea, which is to the north. Didn't you know that?"
"However, the Calm Belt is teeming with colossal Sea Kings, making it difficult for pirates to traverse," Ullman said worriedly.
He's on the ship now, and he certainly doesn't want to be captured by the navy or eaten by sea kings before he even escapes...
"No need for you to worry about that."
Kuroro turned and gracefully left with Bonnie.
After walking away, Kuroro's expression gradually turned expressionless.
He was so ashamed of his own stupidity that he cried..
It turns out that the East China Sea is directly north of the South China Sea.
He always assumed that since it was called the East Sea, ships traveling eastward would eventually reach it...
No wonder we haven't seen a trace of the Calm Belt after walking for so many days!
