Chapter 171: Storm Brewing in the New World
The Kaishi Islands.
This was the destination of Mio's voyage.
An archipelago of vast scale, the Kaishi Islands were also home to rare and dangerous birds.
It had been a week since Mio entered the New World. In just that short time, he had experienced firsthand the infamous unpredictability of the region's weather. From calm skies to howling storms within minutes—the rapid shifts were truly beyond expectation.
Despite the passing days, the Black Glory still had some distance to cover before reaching the Kaishi Islands.
Meanwhile, on Kuria Island—Saya's base of operations in the New World—events were already stirring.
A town had been established there, completely under Saya's control.
At the heart of this town stood a grand castle. Within the castle's central hall, a figure sat upon the highest seat atop a series of steps. The figure was tall and slender, with black horns protruding from his forehead and dark markings streaked across his cheeks. A strange, unnerving appearance.
Beside him lounged a seductive young woman, her soft body draped lazily against the throne.
Below the steps, a man named Tyco stood, his voice trembling with anger.
"Lord Saya, the Black Crow Pirates are nothing like other supernovas. They show no respect toward you at all. They even told me to pass along a message—saying they hope you don't die too soon, and that they're interested in you. It's outrageous. Absolutely unforgivable!"
