Chapter 122: Heading to Whitebeard
Chapter 122: Heading to Whitebeard's Diou!
The next day, Ryuunosuke and his crew arrived at Kahalo Island.
The island's climate was surprisingly pleasant—neither too hot nor too cold. However, the soil didn't seem very fertile. If someone tried farming here, they probably wouldn't harvest much.
Just as Ryuunosuke had imagined, there was a small town nestled on the island. The locals made their living primarily through farming.
This was Whitebeard's territory, so other pirates didn't dare cause trouble here. As a result, the townspeople lived peaceful, content lives.
It had to be said: while the so-called righteous Navy claimed to maintain order across the seas, the presence of a powerful pirate like Whitebeard often provided even more security. In many places, it was the pirates who actually brought stability.
As Ryuunosuke and his group entered the town, a familiar face came to greet them.
"Captain Ryuunosuke, my father sent me to bring you in," said Vista with a smile.
"Vista?" Ace blinked, looking him up and down. "You look stronger than before."
He wasn't joking. Vista's entire presence felt sharper, more refined, like a blade that had been honed.
"We've been training like mad lately," Vista replied with a chuckle. "Come on, Ace—Pop's waiting. He's got something to tell you."
