Chapter 59: Encounter on the Sea – The World’s Greatest Swordsman
"The material for the life card is..."
Looking at the note that came out of the mouth of the Den Den Mushi contacting Vegapunk, Mio picked it up and scanned the listed components. A look of realization crossed his face.
The origin of the life card was the New World, and only people who had been there typically knew what materials were required to make one. Mio needed a life card here in the Grand Line so that Hanba could always track his location. With no other option, he had reached out to Vegapunk for help.
Fortunately, Vegapunk knew the necessary ingredients and sent the details quickly.
The materials listed weren't especially rare. The main ingredient was, unexpectedly, Mio's own fingernails.
Unfortunately, the other items weren't available on the ship right now, so he would have to wait until they arrived in Alabasta.
"I hope Alabasta brings some surprises," Mio muttered under his breath, already knowing exactly what kind of surprise he wanted—Pluton.
But that would come down to luck.
Pulled by Hanba, the ship soon exited the Calm Belt.
"Hanba, head in that direction next," Mio said, glancing at the log pose and pointing the way. With a monster like Hanba acting as the engine, Mio wasn't about to waste the opportunity.
"Take breaks when you're tired. No rush. And don't go too fast—if you go all out, the boat might fall apart," Mio reminded him with a grin.
