chapter-41

"I have been here for a long time. It's time to go out and explore. By the way, doesn't Marine have an Oka Shichibukai? Your current strength is completely competent," Jack thought, suggesting to Hancock.

"Do you want me to go?" Hancock asked with a shy expression on her face.

Jack: "..."

"No need to ask about this. Okay, I think you should go. After all, with the identity of Shichibukai, it will be easier to do things in the future. Amazon Lily won't be in any danger anymore." Jack looked at the cute Hancock in front of him and said helplessly.

"Well, I'll listen to Big Brother." Hancock no longer had any of the imposing manner of the empress; she was now a shy little girl next door.

"Guilty..." Jack looked at Hancock, who was obedient in front of him, and muttered softly to himself.

"Captain, we should set off," Kuina, dressed in an ash-gray samurai suit, said gently to Jack.

"En." Jack waved to Hancock and boarded the Dark King, the pirate ship Jack had spent two years building.

By the way, Jack had robbed a large amount of Pirate and Marine money in recent years to cover the Dark King's expenses. Now Jack's bounty had soared to 400 million Beli, known as the "Dark King!"

As for Kuina, her bounty was 110 million Beli, known as the "Death God!"

Nico Robin's bounty was 70 million Beli, known as the "Child of the Devil!"

Nico Olvia was a chef with a bounty of exactly 5 million Beli. Nico Robin was called the "Child of the Devil" due to the revelation of their previous suspended animation, which Marine had thoroughly investigated after being rescued by Jack.

There were only a few people on the enormous Dark King, making the crew numbers insufficient. Thus, Jack planned to recruit more crew members during this voyage, with a rough plan already in place.

The massive Dark King, moving slowly across the sea, had Jack sitting on the ship's pavilion, reclining in the Imperial Tutor chair, sipping juice and enjoying the view. The sea around him felt indescribably cozy.

"Shua!"

A newspaper appeared in Jack's hand.

"Has the plot begun?" Jack looked at the newspaper and muttered.

"Olvia elder sister, how long until we reach East Blue?" Jack asked Den Den Mushi.

"It's coming. About half an hour later," Den Den Mushi replied in a crisp, beautiful voice.

The Dark King, running at full speed, constantly broke the waves and rode the wind. The white clouds in the sky flashed past as the ship's speed reached 350 knots!

Currently, this speed is almost impossible; after all, the legendary Caspian monster can only reach 300 knots at most without drainage.

The Dark King, a massive 10,000-ton vessel, boasting a top speed of nearly 400 knots, was undoubtedly an extraordinary feat.
