Chapter 161: Toward the New World – Fishman Island Dive
The Black Glory stopped at the edge of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Rayleigh stood by the shore, calmly watching the horizon.
"I'm here!" Mio called out, rushing from the island and waving toward Erica and the others aboard the ship.
"Where's Kizaru?" Rayleigh asked with a hint of surprise. He had expected Mio to escape, but not this quickly. Not much time had passed since the admiral's appearance.
"Shook him off," Mio replied with a casual grin. He had originally planned to rob some treasures from the Celestial Dragons who had arrived at Sabaody, but once Kizaru showed up, that idea was shelved.
"I see." Rayleigh nodded, not pressing for more details. Instead, he shifted the subject. "You're heading to Fishman Island now, right?"
"Ah, that's right." Mio nodded. "Fishman Island is said to be beautiful. We should definitely visit it. Besides, it's the only path to the New World, isn't it?"
"Good luck. The New World is filled with dangers," Rayleigh said thoughtfully. He, like Roger, had once ventured into the unknown and helped open the Great Pirate Era. In his eyes, the Black Crow Pirates were sprouts of a new era.
He just didn't know how far this crew could go.
"We're not afraid of danger." Mio smiled as he leapt aboard the Black Glory, waving at Rayleigh. "Rayleigh, see you next time."
"Goodbye," Rayleigh replied with a smile, waving in return.
