Chapter 296: The Challenger
The next morning, just before sunrise.
*Creaaak~*
At the port of Red Adventure Island, a spatial gate opened on the deck of the Dream.
One by one, the members of the Dream Exploration Team stepped out.
"Phew~" Nami let out a long breath of relief. "Good, no one’s here. They must all still be asleep."
Nojiko quickly urged them, "We’re running out of time. The sun’s almost up—we need to lift the anchor and leave right away."
Everyone jumped into action, pulling up the anchor and lowering the three sails. The Dream began to move.
As the ship slowly left the port, everyone on board started smiling.
To avoid running into that creepy, skin-crawling feeling again, the team had no choice but to quietly sneak aboard the Dream and slip away from the Red Adventure Islands.
By the time the sun finally rose over the horizon, the people of the Red Town were just beginning to wake up. One by one, they stepped out of their tents to get ready for the day.
The mayor walked out of his tent, stretched his arms, and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
