Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Whiskey Peak



Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the clouds, warm and bright, lighting up the entire sea surface. 

However, for everyone on board, this didn't mean it was going to be a good day. 

Since leaving Twin Towers yesterday, they had already encountered several extreme weather events. 

At first, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and torrential rain poured down as if the entire world was drowning in water. 

Then, the temperature dropped sharply, and the cold air felt biting. Even in June, snowflakes began to fall. 

This unusual weather made everyone marvel at the wonders and unpredictability of nature. 

In addition to the heavy rain and temperature drop, there were frequent thunderstorms. Inazuma split the sky, and the thunder was deafening, causing great disruption to their sailing. 

They had to be extra careful to deal with these harsh weather conditions to ensure the safety of the ship. 

By nightfall, the weather finally began to settle down. But their worries didn't disappear, as they had already seen how unpredictable the Grand Line's weather can be. 

This strange climate made Ryuen and the others stay on alert, always ready for any sudden changes. 

The Grand Line's weather is truly unpredictable, full of unknowns and challenges. 

It can be violent at times, peaceful at others, almost testing the courage and wisdom of everyone who dares to sail these seas. 

Only by adapting and overcoming these difficulties can one continue forward and uncover more secrets and treasures. 

"Ryuen, what are you doing? Aren't you having breakfast?" 

Anya asked as she looked at Ryuen, who was staring at the sky.

"Don't mind him, he's watching birds~~~ Awoo~~~" 

Nami replied without turning her head, finishing a snack in her hand.

"That's right, Anya, you don't need to worry about him." 

Kuina casually added.

Just then, a carrier pigeon appeared. Ryuen shouted toward the sky, 

"Come down~~~"

"Ca~~~"

The pigeon was startled and shook, nearly falling out of the sky when it saw Ryuen below on the ship. 

The pigeon obediently landed and quietly perched on the side of the ship.

"Newspaper!" 

The pigeon handed Ryuen a newspaper.

Ryuen took the newspaper, opened it, and then asked casually, 

"Where is Morgans now?"

"Ca~~~"

"You mean you don't know?" 

"Ca~~~"

"I see, I understand now. You can go." 

"Ca~~~"

The pigeon let out a relieved sigh, flapped its wings a few times, and flew off from the Dream Ship. 

But just as it left the area, it suddenly remembered— it hadn't collected its 50 Berry for the newspaper! 

However, it didn't dare return to ask... 

~~~~~~

The group, having breakfast, wasn't surprised anymore, but Anya was still shocked. 

She couldn't believe Ryuen had been talking to the bird just now.

"Anya, don't be surprised. This is Ryuen's Devil Fruit ability. He can command all birds~~~" 

Nojiko noticed Anya's shocked expression and explained Ryuen's ability.

"Ryuen, any big news today?" 

Nami, finished eating, walked over to Ryuen.

Ryuen handed her the newspaper and said softly, 

"It's not that big, just that a person who ate the Burn-Burn Fruit defeated a Warlord of the Sea. The World Government tried to invite him to become the new Warlord, but he refused."

"Huh?"

"A Warlord was defeated? Let me see~~~" 

Kuina, hearing this, quickly moved closer to Nami.

The newspaper reported that Warlord Hanavza had fought with the Burn-Burn Fruit user, lost the battle, and lost his title as a Warlord of the Sea. 

Hanavza was an old Warlord and a collector of ancient devil fruits. 

The Burn-Burn Fruit user, after defeating Hanavza, earned the title "Fire Fist Ace" and became famous across the seas.

"Isn't this Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?" 

"He became a pirate?" 

Kuina was surprised.

Over the past six years, they had traveled to many islands in East Blue, including Foosha Village, so they knew about Ace and his crew. 

At that time, Ryuen had planned to bully King Luffy, but Garp was in Foosha Village, so Ryuen had to abandon the plan.

"I bet Vice Admiral Garp is really mad, hahaha~~~" 

Daisy laughed without a care.

At that, everyone burst out laughing.

After sailing for most of the day, the Dream finally arrived at Whiskey Peak.

From a distance, Whiskey Peak looked like two giant cacti, with many tombstones on top, resembling cactus thorns. 

The Grand Line begins at Twin Capes, and the first island of the seven routes is filled with bounty hunters. 

Speaking of bounty hunters, they were actually just failed adventurers who didn't have the courage to continue their journeys. 

Nami and the others were excited to reach the first island of the Grand Line, especially since they had made it through all sorts of extreme weather to get there!

It seemed that they had already been expected, as a welcoming party was waiting at the port of Whiskey Peak.

Ryuen and the others received the same treatment as King Luffy and his crew.

"Huh?" 

"Are the people on Grand Line islands always this welcoming?" 

Leah asked in surprise as she looked at the enthusiastic crowd.

"Leah, don't let their outward appearance fool you." 

Kuina tightened her grip on her sword and glanced at the people on the shore, exuding a faint killing intent.

"It seems like they're welcoming us on the surface, but in reality, all I see in their eyes is greed!" Nojiko said in a low voice.

Ryuen felt a sense of relief upon hearing Kuina and Nojiko's judgment. Finally, they hadn't let down the training he'd given them over the years!

Whiskey Peak was Crocodile's territory, and the people there were all members of his Baroque Works—executive commanders, million and billion elders. They settled there under the guise of being residents of Whiskey Peak, with the aim of attacking passing pirates, stealing their treasures, or collecting bounties.

"Ryuen, can we take action?" Kuina asked, looking at Ryuen.

The others also seemed eager to take action.

"ε=(′ο`*))) Sigh..."

"Look at all of you, becoming such violence addicts. They're here to welcome us after all," Ryuen said, pretending to be upset.

The others wordlessly stepped away from Ryuen. 

They had only become so violent because of the way their captain trained them!

"Cough cough cough~~~"

"Anyway, hurry up and take them down!" Ryuen awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Hmph~~~" Nami snorted.

The seven of them jumped into action at once, each performing a leg kick.

"Rankyaku!!!" ×7

In an instant, seven kicks formed slashes that shot toward the people on the shore.

Ryuen admired the beautiful legs above him, but when he saw Hog's legs, his mood quickly soured. He quickly shifted his gaze to Nami and enjoyed the view for a moment, which helped restore his good mood.
