Some time had passed since the battle between the Ouroboros Pirate and the Flying Pirate.

Right now, the Ouroboros Pirate had just arrived at the Shabondy Archipelago.

Arriving here, to the crew Lepus showed a map of the Shabondy Archipelago and explained about the locations of the places in the Grooves. Lepus also explained about what should and should not be done while at the Shabondy Archipelago.

After everything was clear, as usual Lepus did the division of tasks.

"Alright.... Brisa, Muret, Nojiko, Ryzer, and I will go to Groove 1-29 to check various slave auctions."

Lepus and his group head to the slave auction to help Ryzer find information on his missing friend. Apart from that, there are several other reasons too. But, Lepus didn't need to say that.

"Boris, Gillian-san, Kalifa, Raki, Conis, Perona, and the two kids, Muse and Eris, went shopping and play at Amusement Park at Groove 30-49."

The shopping group nodded.

"Amber, Kuina, Max and Sera.... It's up to you. But better stay in Groove 1-49 and surely don't go to Groove 60s!"

The free group nodded in understanding.

"Nojiko, have your familiars accompany each group."

Lepus asked Nojiko to deploy her familiars.

"Okay!"

Nojiko nodded and then divided some familiars to accompany each group.

"We'll contact each other through Den Den Mushi and Nojiko's familiar if something goes wrong. Got it?"

"""""Yes!"""""

"Okay.... Let's go!"

Lepus then hid The Jormungandr in the gap and then they went to separate with each of their group.

At the same time, at Groove 13. Shakky's Rip-off Bar....

Shakky warns Luffy and the others who are going to find an old shipwright.

"Wherever you go, you better be careful.... My sources of information said that currently, including Luffy-chan and Roronoa-chan of your pirates, there are 16 pirates with bounty value of over 100 million! Which means there are 14 more in Shabondy right now!"

"That many!?"

Chopper was taken aback by Shakky's statement.

While Luffy and the others silently listened.

"When you enter the Grand Line, there are 7 routes you can take. You choose one route and follow the Log Pose directions until you get to this point."

"Yeah."

Luffy nodded.

"So of course there were other pirates who chose 6 other routes, going through their own set of obstacles until finally some of them survived and got here.... Whichever route you choose, you'll end up at The Great Wall Red Line. So, everyone will gather in this Shabondy in preparation to go to the New World. And this time, all the big rookies are gathering here at the same time. It's not something that happens every day..."

Shakky then stopped to take a breath and smoked her cigarette.

"Lepus, Kidd, Luffy, Hawkins, Drake, Law.... Those names are mentioned a lot in the papers these days."

"I don't read newspapers."

Luffy said curtly.

Shakky chuckled hearing that.

"Ufufufu.... Information is a weapon you know. You should at least know the names of your rivals, right? And when it comes to bounties, among the rookies, Luffy-chan is only the 3rd!"

"Eehh!? There's two persons higher than Luffy in these islands!?"

Chopper is back in shock!

Shakky chuckled and then told them about the "Supernova".
