On this day, Lan Luo also saw his bounty on the newspaper. Lan Luo couldn't understand it. At that time, his Observation Haki clearly hadn't sensed the presence of anyone else. It might have been a bird in the sky, which made Lan Luo a bit depressed.
At this moment, Kuina, with her mouth puffed out in anger, said to Lan Luo, "What kind of East Blue's Greatest Swordsman? I will surpass you someday, Lan Luo."
Lan Luo, experienced in this, stepped forward, gently patted her head, and slowly said, "I believe in you, Kuina. You will surpass me someday."
This little loli must be handled with care.
"Brother Lan Luo, your initial bounty is 80 million Berries. Is that the highest bounty in the East Blue?" Nami asked, her eyes full of money.
Lan Luo replied, "Probably not. The lighthouse keeper when we enter the Grand Line is the Pirate King's ship doctor. Do you think his bounty will be higher than mine? Having a bounty isn't child's play, you know. You might be sold off anytime."
Hearing this, the two girls calmed down from their excitement. "Ah, no way."
"It's true. I also wanted to get all of that ship doctor's medical books and notes through information, to give to our little pet."
Lan Luo was thinking of Chopper at this moment.
There was also Erick in the ship's hold. Thinking of this, Lan Luo decided not to wait any longer. Lan Luo took out the Rumble-Rumble Fruit he had obtained many years ago and swallowed it whole in one gulp. Before long, electric sparks began to appear on his body. Through his analysis of electromagnetic barriers over a long period, Lan Luo also completed the combined barrier of the electromagnetic barrier and the Four Symbols Seal three days later.
The three of them stared blankly at the Scythe Devil Fruit on the table. Nami was the first to break the silence: "So, we can get Devil Fruits freely?"
Lan Luo nodded and said, "I plan to use this Devil Fruit on a sword I forge myself. After all, a slash is based on the principle of air pressure, so this sword will naturally be able to use slashes when forged. This can be used for the very center part of the sword. The spine of the sword can use the Momo Fruit, which can increase speed or slashes, up to 100 times. The hilt can use a conductive metal to speed up the conduction of Haki, and the pommel is best with a Strength-Strength Fruit or a Teleportation Fruit."
Hearing this, both girls gasped. A single sword using three Devil Fruits? They had never heard of such a thing, but just hearing the description of this sword, it would definitely surpass the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords.
After speaking, Lan Luo prepared to make lunch. For the ship's cook, Lan Luo hadn't thought of anyone suitable for a while. He could only cook himself. Lan Luo's experience from several worlds, coupled with the offensive cooking he learned in the Pirate World, made it difficult for Lan Luo to find a satisfactory cook.
The trio finally reached the entrance of the Grand Line two days later. Looking at the towering Red Line and the narrow waterway where water flowed upwards, all three were incredibly excited. "Are you ready? I'm taking you to see the Island Whale Laboon and the Pirate King's ship doctor, Crocus."
The two girls also shouted excitedly, "Charge!"
With that, Nami directed, Kuina steered, and Lan Luo corrected the ship's position. The small boat bounced its way up the mountain in the Grand Line, then rushed down. Similar to the original story, they also saw the Island Whale Laboon. Lan Luo, on the deck, directly released Conqueror's Haki to intimidate it. Laboon, under the pressure of the Conqueror's Haki, moved aside, allowing their small boat to land smoothly on the sea nearby without hitting it.
When Lan Luo and the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, a door opened inside Laboon's body. They saw an old man with his hair fanned backward, wearing glasses and having long arms. Dressed in beach attire, he said sternly, "Indeed, a remarkable big shot has arrived."
Lan Luo then stepped forward, happy and polite: "Crocus-san, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Sivslie Lan Luo, and these are my crewmate Kuina and navigator Nami."
Crocus, hearing this, knew that this young man likely recognized him. To a young man who was friendly towards him, he didn't mind offering some advice: "I saw your name in the newspaper two days ago, Lan Luo-san. Which route are you planning to take?"
"I wonder if Mr. Crocus has any permanent pointers for Asuka Island and Jaya Island?" Lan Luo asked without hesitation.
Crocus then asked curiously, "Jaya Island is not necessary; your Log Pose will definitely pass through it on that route. I do have one for Asuka Island, though, for 2 million Berries."
He guessed which route this group was taking, so they must be going to Sky Island. Is this the person Roger was waiting for?
"Thank you, Mr. Crocus. I also have some news about the Rumbar Pirates. Would you like to trade?" Lan Luo stepped forward, took the pointer, and gave Crocus 2 million Berries.
"What? That's impossible. I've searched the entire sea and found no news about them. How do you know?" Crocus was somewhat disbelieving of this news.
"I do know about the Rumbar Pirates, and specifically about Afro Brook. Do you want to exchange information?" Lan Luo said with utmost seriousness.
Crocus then believed the young man's words. It might have been his Observation Haki, or perhaps a feeling of being destined to meet. "What do you want?"
Lan Luo then smiled and said, "We need your medical books and notes."
Hearing this, Crocus happily said, "No problem, I'll go get them for you right away."
He had thought the young man in front of him would make some unreasonable demands, but he didn't expect him to value his medical skills. This was an appreciation of him, wasn't it?
The Pirate World is like this: as long as you praise their strengths, they become very proud. This was Lan Luo's experience in the Pirate World.
Before long, Crocus took out a ship's hold full of medical books from inside Laboon. The three of them quickly put those books back into their ship's hold. Returning to the deck, Lan Luo said, "The Rumbar Pirates, who made a promise with Laboon back then, contracted a plague shortly after setting sail. Only Brook survived the entire crew. He is a Devil Fruit user of the Yomi Yomi no Mi, and his soul revived in his own skeleton after he died. He is currently in the Florian Triangle, where Gekko Moriah cut off his shadow, preventing him from leaving that sea area. If he leaves, he will turn to dust."
Crocus was silent for a moment upon hearing this. "For Laboon's sake, I must find him. Otherwise, Laboon won't last much longer. In search of the Rumbar Pirates, Laboon is still crashing into the Red Line, and I also have to inject him with tranquilizers."
The two girls were deeply moved by the story of Laboon continuously crashing into the Red Line for a Pirate Crew. Lan Luo also understood the implied meaning.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Luo decided to help Brook. "I can help you. We'll be passing through that sea area anyway. I'll stay a few extra days and will definitely help you accomplish it."
Hearing this, Crocus bowed to Lan Luo. "Thank you very much."
Lan Luo quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"To celebrate our acquaintance, let's have a feast!" Lan Luo then happily shouted to everyone.
Laboon also came closer. Lan Luo communicated using Observation Haki: "Laboon, in a few months at most, I will definitely rescue Brook, but you must not harm yourself anymore."
Laboon responded happily, as if about to leap out of the water, then nodded.
Nami, looking at Laboon's obedient appearance, also really liked this loyal whale. Kuina had never seen such a large, intelligent island whale. This experience made them understand the vastness of the sea.
After the feast, the trio's ship slowly disappeared below the horizon, watched by the reluctant Island Whale Laboon and Crocus.
