Chapter 130 Arrival in Loguetown
After putting down the Den Den Mushi, Yelena lay back on the ship, mentally processing the information she had just received.
In the past two years, Law has destroyed more than one of the Don Quixote family's strongholds. He seems to be targeting these people specifically, rebuilding one place and destroying another.
Even though Doflamingo left more than one family executive in the North Blue, he couldn't stop Law's actions.
Ultimately, he had to reduce the size of the staff in Beihai and reassign some of the lower-level members to other sea areas to expand their business there.
This includes the East China Sea.
According to the information Luo obtained from the prisoners, the family only had one stronghold in the East China Sea, which was Loguetown.
Señor and the others were in the North Sea and wanted to get to Loguetown. The fastest route was to cross the Reverse Mountain, reach Twin Peaks, and then, like her, traverse the Calm Belt along the Red Line.
They just set off the day before yesterday, and they're probably still adrift in Beihai right now.
She could have gotten the item before them.
treasure----
For Doflamingo to personally send his capable subordinates to the East Blue to retrieve it, it must be no ordinary treasure.
A smile played on her lips; nothing was more exhilarating than taking away her enemy's treasure.
Three days later, the ship reached the edge of the doldrums.
Looking at the mirror-like smooth surface of the water ahead, Icarum looked troubled. "How do we get across?"
"If the bottom of the ship's cabin is inlaid with sea stone, it might be possible to quietly row the ship over without disturbing the sea kings."
Robin turned to Yelena, chuckled, and shook his head: "That's exactly what Baroque did when he sent people to the North Sea to recruit you. It's a pity that the ship didn't come back with you."
Yelena frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that? The ship was scuttled and sunk by Doflamingo. If you're so capable, let Crocodile go and settle the score with him."
"How about we quietly paddle across?" Vivi walked to the railing, glanced ahead, and didn't see any danger.
"The Calm Belt is indeed the lair of sea kings, but they aren't found in all bodies of water. With a bit of luck, you might be able to get through."
"No need, you can put the sails away first."
Yelena went into the cabin, and a moment later, she returned to the deck carrying a bundle of iron chains.
Vivi looked puzzled. "What's this?"
Yelena said calmly, "I'll swim there in my boat."
"What?!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Yelena didn't explain much. She fastened one end of the chain to her waist and the other end to the ring below the bow, giving instructions:
Hold on tight.
After saying that, she jumped into the water with a splash.
Before anyone could even find a place to sit down, the chains tightened instantly, pulling the boat away at breakneck speed!
Everyone immediately staggered and swayed, hurriedly finding positions to steady themselves.
Robin leaned on the railing and looked back. A white wave rippled across the calm sea, trailing behind the stern of the boat for a long time.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. Wasn't the noise disturbing the owner of the place?
Half an hour later, Robin's fears came true.
As the ship sped along, the seawater on both sides suddenly bulged upwards, creating a huge splash, and several enormous sea monsters appeared in everyone's sight.
"Sea... Sea Kings?!"
Mr. 9's lips trembled. He suddenly grabbed Miss. Monday's arm and tugged at it, but couldn't budge it. He could only walk to the front and look up at her.
"It seems I can't escape this fate today. There are some things I want to say before I die—"
Bang!
Miss Monday punched someone to the ground, yelling, "Stop messing around! What are you worrying about with the boss around!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying sense of oppression suddenly surged from ahead.
The sea monsters on both sides swam away, howling, as if something terrifying was chasing them.
"Conqueror's Haki?!" Robin's eyelashes fluttered slightly as her gaze fixed on the person pulling the ship forward. "No wonder he dared to trespass into the Calm Belt."
Vivi's gaze also lingered on the sea ahead. "Compared to ability users being able to swim, possessing this kind of power isn't too far-fetched."
Robin chuckled. "That's true."
Yelena occasionally used her domineering aura to intimidate the approaching sea kings, and the group crossed the Calm Belt without any major incidents, arriving at the East China Sea.
As soon as we stepped into this sea area, the weather instantly changed from sunny to cloudy, and strong winds rose all around, pushing the sailboat closer to the Red Earth Continent.
Yelena jumped onto the boat, glanced at the dark figure towering in the distance, and frowned deeply.
If this continues, they'll be back on Upside Down Mountain.
She had been pulling the boat around for almost a day and really didn't want to go on now—wait, weren't there other laborers on the boat?
Yelena turned to look at Vivi and the others, a malicious smile on her face, "Next, it's your turn to pull the boat."
"Huh?" Mr. 9's face was covered in sweat. "But boss, the wind is against us!"
"This is the perfect time to train!" Yelena tossed the chains into Mr. 9 and Miss Monday's arms. "I hope you both become as strong as me soon."
Icarum's mouth moved, but before he could speak, Vivi stopped him, "She's right, let's go down too."
Robin smiled and activated her ability, retrieving other chains from the cabin.
A minute later, apart from her and Yelena, the other four people were all submerged in the water.
Loguetown is not far from the Red Line. The group adjusted their course along the way and successfully arrived at the port on the morning of the third day after entering the East China Sea.
"I'm so tired. Once I've recovered, I'm definitely going to find a restaurant and have a big meal!" Mr. 9 leaned on the railing, gazing at the town ahead.
Miss Monday and Icarus nodded in succession, their faces showing exhaustion.
Yelena leaned closer to Robin and whispered, "Shouldn't our expenses in the East China Sea be covered by the agency?"
After all, the group's official reason for coming to the East Blue was to help the Work Company recruit the pirate hunter Zoro.
Robin looked at him in surprise: "You're short of money?"
"Save where you should save, spend where you should spend," Yelena said matter-of-factly.
Why would she want to save money for Lao Sha?
"Alright," Robin nodded helplessly, "I'll reimburse you when we get back."
"Thank you." Yelena was the first to board the dock in Loguetown.
The moment their feet touched the ground, several pairs of eyes turned to them.
Yelena pretended not to know and looked around curiously.
The town of Logue was bustling with trade, and the dock square was filled with merchants and sailors unloading cargo.
A dozen or so people with similar demeanors but different hairstyles and clothes stood scattered around the square, brazenly eyeing the passersby.
Upon seeing the boat dock, three people immediately approached.
"Hey, you lot! What's your purpose in coming to Loguetown?"
The leader, wearing sunglasses, spat at them before he even arrived.
Yelena frowned and gave Miss Monday a wink, who then stepped forward, her fingers clenched.
"You're here for tourism, what, aren't you welcome?"
Looking at Miss Monday's arms, which were almost as thick as his own waist, the man in sunglasses couldn't help but swallow hard, rubbing his hands together with a smile: "Welcome, of course you're welcome! When you come to Loguetown, you absolutely must visit the Execution Platform; it's a place our boss highly recommends! Have a great time!"
Miss Monday lowered her fist, and the three of them turned and walked away.
"They're probably local gangsters, not after us," Robin said as he walked side by side with Yelena, his voice so soft that only the two of them could hear him. Just as Robin finished speaking, the three of them reached a new boat that had docked.
"Hey, you lot! What's your purpose in coming to Loguetown?"
