One piece : A Lotus

Chapter 39: Chapter 39



There were various opinions, but to Ezekiel's surprise, the topic did not become as popular as he imagined. This was likely because, compared to ordinary people, there are still very few who can venture out to sea.

Navigation is needed for ships, but how many ships exist in this world?

Hundreds of thousands? One million?

Compared to the hundreds of millions of ordinary people, this is indeed a small number.

Upon reflection, Ezekiel realized that this epic-making event was not yet been taken seriously. Although, perhaps the World Government and the Marines were more disappointed... The Log Pose and Eternal Pose were not that great, but now Ezekiel had utterly outdone them. Even if it's not a gold mine, it is still a magical tool in the four seas.

Nevertheless, Ezekiel might now gain new advantages. After all, even though the increase in users is not significant, they might be influential people in this world. Perhaps Garp, Luffy, or the Four Emperors would start using mobile phones? And... the lone wolf Mihawk. Once they learn the convenience of navigation via mobile phone, they should abandon the Log Poses.

Looking at the basic navigation, Ezekiel was already contemplating how he would transition to a navigation system that could, in the future, pinpoint a specific street with meter-level accuracy and integrate a pleasant female voice navigation system. Then navigators and ordinary people would sleep hugging their mobile phones...

Early the next morning, Ezekiel got up quite early to wait for the download, which was nearing completion.

Light Fruit - 100 GB

After a message that only he could see, Ezekiel felt that a wealth of information about the Light Fruit had appeared in his mind. He slightly opened his eyes, and yellow flashes flickered in them. At this moment, he raised both hands. One hand turned into the element of the icy domain, and the other hand into a flash of light!

He had always wanted to see if he could use two Logia abilities simultaneously!

It turns out, he could.

Now half of him was a freezing person, and the other half a light person!

Returning his hands to their normal state, Ezekiel stepped out. He no longer needed a ship and had no intention of dragging it all the way to the East Blue. There were several treasures in the East Blue that he needed to acquire.

"Zephyr, I'm heading to the East Blue alone. You take the ship away," Ezekiel said to Zephyr.

After these two had a secret conversation, Ezekiel disappeared from the deck. But as he went into the darkness, Zephyr saw a faint glow coming from Ezekiel.

Zephyr paused, reaffirming his suspicion: "His Majesty can replicate fruits, right?"

............…

A beam of light streaked across the first half of the Grand Line, the sea was split in two by a wave of light, with endless waves surging to both sides, as a Sea King burst from the depths of the sea, opening its mouth in a bloody gape.

Boom!

The light pierced straight into the Sea King, causing a bloody rain to pour over the sea, but the light continued forward, leaving behind a massive corpse swiftly devoured by sea creatures drawn to the scent of blood.

The brutal sea didn't seem daunting to Ezekiel , who now possessed the abilities of three fruits.

He stopped and hovered in the air, took out his mobile phone, and checked his navigation. He was now very close to the entrance to the Grand Line via Reverse Mountain, but he decided not to head there. Instead, to reach the East Blue, ignoring the navigation prompt warning of route deviation, he traveled straight over the Calm Belt.

There was no need to waste time.

Although the Calm Belt was fearsome, Ezekiel remained high enough and moved quickly to soon reach the East Blue.

The climate changed almost suddenly. The weather on the Grand Line is completely different from the East Blue. If you go to the New World, you'll find that the weather there is just as unpredictable. It seems that trying to create a weather app in this world would be nearly impossible. A complex task...

Pondering the weather, Ezekiel continued to fly in a set direction. He wanted to recruit Zephyr's student, a guy with a righteous heart who hated pirates just like Zephyr.

Ezekiel didn't just need a strong person; he needed an ally with strong potential. Someone like Pell. Although he reached the level of Vice Admiral, that's his upper limit.

Considering this, he transformed into light and headed towards Logtown.

He finally landed at the port of Logtown.

.........

At the port of Logtown, the workers were busy unloading goods. They hurried, but they were unloading cargo not from a trade ship, but from a pirate ship.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" shouted a tall pirate, waving a knife in his hand, with the members of his pirate crew standing behind him.

The workers were so frightened that they moved a bit faster. Just then, the Marines suddenly appeared and surrounded the pirates. A man with white hair and cigars in his uniform slowly stepped forward. He lit a cigar and blew a smoke ring, calmly looking at the pirates. Then he said:

"You guys want to die?"

"I'm Bloody Hand, a great pirate in the East Blue! The captain of the Bloody Hand Pirates with a bounty of 5 million..."

Before he could finish his words, Smoker slammed his head into the ground.

Bloody Hand felt a tremendous force pressing on his head and fell into a semi-coma...

The Bloody Hand crew immediately shouted when they saw this.

"Kill him!"

A knife slashed across Smoker's back, but his body had already turned into smoke.

These pirates had never seen such a strange scene. They turned pale with fear. Smoker turned and gave them a disdainful look. His hand was still on Bloody Hand's head, but his wrist and forearm were strangely separated. Smoker coldly said to the group of pirates:

"This is a pirate with a bounty of 5 million... That's too weak... You'd better not stand out and wait for arrest."
