Hahahahaha!!!
"Finally we are here. If you don't catch a fish, I might have nearly starved to death!"
Exactly five months later, the brothers finally saw their first island after leaving the Western Sea.
The Land of Wano!
These five months were truly a hellish ordeal for them.
Because Kazan chose an incredible route!
The geography of the Pirate World.
The Red Line resembles a giant dragon, crawling over the planet and directly dividing it into two hemispheres.
On this side.
It's East blue! Calm Belt! Paradise in the first half of the Grand Line! Calm Belt! South China Sea!
On that side.
It's the North Sea! Calm Belt! The New World in the second half of the Grand Line! Calm Belt! Western Sea!
The Land of Wano is located in the New World in the second half of the Grand Line, and also in this hemisphere of the Western Sea, where the brothers live.
Therefore, they had two routes to choose from.
The first was to bypass the West blue to Reverse Mountain, then descend to the end of the New World and finally head to the Land of Wano.
Advantages: "tailwinds" along the entire journey; disadvantage: the distance is relatively long.
The second was to cross the Calm Belt from the Western Sea, enter the New World of the Grand Line, and then head straight to the Land of Wano.
This is equivalent to a direct passage.
Kazan thought to himself, Rayleigh could cross the Calm Belt to Amazon Lily.
Shortening the route and reaching the Land of Wano is not a big problem!
But he never expected that the Calm Belt would be this wide.
Without kinetic energy in the Calm Belt, the brothers planned for a long time to take turns steering the warship, following the Eternal Pose, flying towards the Land of Wano, and as a result, this journey took more than three months in the Calm Belt.
Physically and mentally exhausted!
And that's not all!
The weather phenomena of the Grand Line are far scarier than in the Four Seas, and are just on a hellish level.
After the warship exited the Calm Belt and entered the New World, the ship began encountering storms, and it was only by a miracle that they survived. In the end, supplies ran out again, and most importantly, there was not a single island along the way to replenish resources.
Thus.
Throughout the journey, the brothers could only fish to feed themselves.
Exhausted, they were completely drained when they arrived in the Land of Wano after a full five months.
Both brothers became much stronger because of this!
What is the difference between towing an immovable warship across the Calm Belt and towing on the Land?
It's all hard labor!
…
The Land of Wano is a closed country, officially never accepting foreigners, not part of the world government. Its geographical setting resembles a bowl rising from the ground, surrounded by cliffs, with an inland sea above the cliffs and islands at the center.
The only way up is a waterfall.
However, this poses no difficulty for the brothers , who have the ability to fly.
In this case, they decided to stop at the cliff where a somewhat battered ship was located.
Then they headed to the bustling part of the Land of Wano.
Flower Capital.
As night fell, after eating and drinking, they found an inn to spend the night.
In the light, Kazan was the first to speak: "From ancient times to the present, the Land of Wano has been a country of samurai, and the best swordsmen are renowned worldwide, which makes it the best in the world. Consequently, there are many famous swords here; we must get weapons to choose from!"
Hearing Kazan talk about famous swords suddenly piqued Shiki's interest.
He knew little about famous swords.
Just the term "famous blade" sounds very impressive!
Currently, Shiki's understanding of swords is comparable to Zoro's, almost zero. He doesn't know what "supreme sword" with twelve types, "great sword" with twenty-one types, or "fine sword" with fifty types means. However, a swordsman has an inherent sense for famous blades, and Shiki has it.
"So how do we get these famous swords?" Shiki wondered.
Kazan pondered.
"In Ohara, I read in a book that the Land of Wano was once called the land of gold. It was rich in gold; half the country was dug up, and then the gold veins dried up. All the gold from the Land of Wano was taken away, but people here still have a fanatical love for gold...
Shiki, don't you want to test your swordsman skills!?
There are many powerful samurai with swords here!
Hearing this, Shiki nodded thoughtfully: "So what should I do?"
Then Kazan selected a golden bowl from the space and tossed it to Shiki.
With a smile, he said: "Use this as a prize, set up a ring in the bustling area of the Flower Capital; the winner among you will get the golden bowl, and the defeated will lose their blade. Perhaps this could be a way to obtain a famous sword."
When Shiki heard this, he was immediately delighted: "This! I can not only fight but also honestly collect famous swords!"
My brother is so clever!
This is truly smart!
No wonder there's a 40 million berry bounty on him!
Looks like reading really pays off.
— And what about you?
— Drink flower wine and gather information!
The younger brother fights, the older brother drinks flower wine.
These are completely different paths.
The next day.
The brothers parted ways, and each began their journey in search of the famous sword.
In the end.
The meeting of a swordsman and a famous sword is also predestined in the otherworld.
Kazan did not force at all
