One Piece: Alucard the Immortal

Starting from Reverse Mountain at the entrance to the Grand Line, there are seven magnetic routes. The path initially chosen is the one you must follow all the way to the end of the first half of the Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago.

This statement is correct, but it comes with a prerequisite: you must follow an Eternal Pose.

Without an Eternal Pose, one could at any time stray into other magnetic routes and face mortal danger, for instance, Alucard right now.

He didn't carry an Eternal Pose and simply let his ship wander.

As long as it wasn't returning the way it came, he let the ship sail aimlessly. This was one of the reasons the Marines couldn't track Alucard's movements when he entered the Grand Line.

The crucial point lay in this bastard not playing by the rules!

Once he disappeared, he couldn't be found!

No, to be precise, they couldn't predict which island he'd arrive at next.

To the Marines who understood Alucard's habits, this madman was practically looking for death.

He had no navigational knowledge; didn't he know how dangerous it was to forcibly break through magnetic routes?

Even the Marines didn't dare to casually break through magnetic routes unless they had exceptionally powerful experts on board and only in extremely urgent situations.

Yet, Alucard treated such a perilous act as routine.

And the Marines' worries were well-founded.

Unbeknownst to him, Alucard had already forcibly broken through magnetic routes three times. The ship he stole from the Evil Gang Pirates was consequently battered and ruined. It was a miracle that the Marines hadn't yet listed him on a bounty poster.

Meanwhile, as Alucard haphazardly navigated the magnetic routes, news of Corrupt King Pizarro's imprisonment spread worldwide via newspaper birds.

"What? Pizarro was defeated? By whom? Whitebeard? Or Roger? Or at least someone on Wolf's level, right?"

In a certain sea area of the Grand Line, a fashionably dressed but undeniably unattractive female pirate questioned her subordinates.

To describe her, she was practically a human female version of Arlong, with a long nose and sinister eyes, and a physique more robust than a man's.

This was Catarina Devon, known as the "Most Heinous Female Pirate in History," currently with a bounty of 180 million Berries.

Devon had fought Pizarro several times and knew how troublesome that bastard was. She felt that only someone of her caliber or stronger could have defeated him.

But to Devon's surprise, her subordinate, after some hesitation, stammered, "C-captain, it seems it wasn't any of them. The one who defeated the Corrupt King was... a pirate hunter from the North Blue."

"What did you say?"

It was no wonder Devon was surprised. In this era, pirate hunters, in their perception, were essentially individuals who relied on a bit of legwork and martial arts to capture pirates for money, simply a means to make a living.

Anyone with true strength or ambition would either become a pirate or a Marine; "pirate hunter" was practically synonymous with third-rate.

The Corrupt King was defeated by a third-rate fighter? Devon clearly couldn't believe it.

She took the newspaper from her subordinate. Besides the content, Devon also saw a picture of Alucard. He appeared to be less than twenty years old. Could such a young punk really defeat that Pizarro?

"Hmph! It seems that Pizarro bastard stole too much money and forgot to train his strength!" Devon abruptly crumpled the newspaper and tossed it into the sea.

At this moment, the navigator of the Devon Pirates stood at the crow's nest, calling down to Devon, "Captain, we're approaching the large city, Spring Queen City!"

Spring Queen City, St. Poplar, as one of the major cities in this sea region, held the title of a super-large trade city, second only to the super-water trade city, Water 7. Because the two trade cities were not on the same magnetic route, they didn't interfere with each other and rarely communicated.

"Murunfufufu! Excellent! It's about time I got some new clothes!"

Devon was not only known as the "Most Heinous Female Pirate in History," nicknamed "Crescent Moon Hunter," but her fashion sense was also outstanding among pirates. She had a high standard for style, though her face wasn't much to compliment... St. Poplar was undoubtedly a good shopping destination for her.

About five hours after the Devon Pirates' ship left this sea area and reached St. Poplar, a dilapidated ship, so broken it could be called "scrap," slowly moved towards St. Poplar at an ant's pace.

Alucard sat in an equally damaged chair, muttering impatiently to himself, "Wooden ships and wooden chairs just can't take a beating. Must be replaced, replaced!"

Though slow, Alucard's course was undeniably set towards Spring Queen City, St. Poplar.
