Ye Fan looked at the old man who was sunbathing and reading a newspaper.
He felt he should pay a visit and, while he was at it, copy the other party's Observation Haki.
He wondered what level the other party's Observation Haki had reached, and if it was as advanced as Charlotte Katakuri's, allowing him to see a portion of the future.
After all, Charlotte Katakuri was Luffy's teacher for Observation Haki.
The other party's Observation Haki should be top-tier in the entire Pirate World.
"Nami, steer the ship over. Let's go visit the people here."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Nami followed his gaze and indeed spotted an old man not far away.
As Ye Fan's current navigator, she was responsible for steering the ship.
Nojiko, on the other hand, was the cook, preparing meals every day.
As for Ye Fan, he was an Emperor, so such tasks were naturally left to others; he was also very busy in the evenings.
Don't think such things are simple.
It's exhausting!
"Hello, Uncle, may I ask, how do we proceed after entering the Grand Line?"
Sometimes, a good first impression is very important.
Being a polite, good child might lead to unexpected rewards.
Nami looked at her compass, which was behaving erratically, jumping back and forth without settling on an accurate direction.
"How can this be?"
"Is my compass broken?"
Upon hearing Ye Fan ask about the path ahead, Nami instinctively checked her compass.
After all, her dream was to draw all the maps in the world, and her identity was that of a navigator.
The scene before her left her, a navigator, utterly confused, and she let out an astonished, disbelieving cry.
Nojiko also looked over, equally unsure of what was happening.
Although Ye Fan knew, he couldn't say it aloud.
"You dare to come to the Grand Line knowing nothing? Here, all common sense is useless."
"All the islands here are rich in magnetic minerals, so ordinary compasses are useless. You need a Log Pose or an Eternal Pose."
Seeing the three of them dare to come to the Grand Line knowing nothing, these young people really are fearless in their ignorance.
If they got lost at sea, they would be trapped and die on the ocean.
No matter how strong you are, like the Pirate King, you would starve and die of thirst.
"Old man, I have one here. I'll give it to you. It's no use to me anyway."
Krokus took out a Log Pose with a cover from behind him and threw it to Ye Fan.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Upon receiving it, Ye Fan first thanked the other party before handing the compass to Nami.
Nami immediately began studying it after taking it and quickly understood that they all had the same effect.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, leaped directly to Krokus's side.
He hadn't copied the other party's Observation Haki yet; how could he just leave?
"Hello, Uncle, my name is Austrovsky D. Ye Fan."
A handshake, a simple handshake, was the most direct method.
The copying ability required touching the other party's body.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Ye Fan's name, Krokus was stunned, not expecting the handsome young man's name to contain a D.
As a member of the Roger Pirates, he naturally knew its meaning.
Looking at the hand extended towards him, he didn't expect the other party to be quite so formal.
He had no idea that Ye Fan was merely trying to copy his Observation Haki.
Indeed, the moment he shook hands with the other party, Ye Fan felt that strange power.
Originally, Ye Fan relied entirely on his strength to perceive his surroundings, but now with Observation Haki, Ye Fan felt like a completely different person.
His brain was like a radar, allowing Ye Fan to detect any rustle or movement around him.
However, it was a pity that the other party's Observation Haki had not reached the stage of briefly predicting the future.
Moreover, the other party did not possess Armament Haki, which somewhat disappointed Ye Fan.
Seeing how polite the other party was, the two quickly began to converse.
Just then, Laboon, the whale in the sea, suddenly became agitated, thrashing back and forth, creating huge waves that pushed Ye Fan's ship far away.
Nami and Nojiko on the ship tightly gripped the handrails.
Seeing this, both Ye Fan and Krokus's expressions changed.
"Young man, I, this old man, have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. We'll meet again if fate allows."
Ye Fan knew very well what the other party was going to do: give the whale an injection.
Such a matter was best left to the Straw Hat Pirates to handle.
"Goodbye, Uncle."
Then the other party directly leaped onto Laboon the whale; his home was also inside the whale's body.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, returned to his ship.
"Ye Fan, what were you two talking about that made you so happy?"
Upon Ye Fan's return, Nami had been observing the Log Pose and steering in one direction during that time.
She had planned the route forward.
Nojiko was more curious about what they had just discussed; Ye Fan was clearly in a good mood when he returned.
If Nami hadn't been there, she would have already gone to hug Ye Fan.
"Nothing much. I just didn't expect that uncle to be a crew member of the Roger Pirates, a ship doctor."
Actually, Ye Fan had known this all along, he just hadn't shown it.
But Nami and Nojiko were very shocked after knowing, their mouths wide open, making Ye Fan want to...
"What?"
That was the Roger Pirates; even a mere cabin boy on that crew would become one of the Four Emperors in the future.
Every crew member was extraordinary, their strength not to be underestimated.
Figures like Silvers Rayleigh, Kozuki Oden... they were all world-renowned figures.
Therefore, both of them were extremely shocked after learning the other party's identity.
Pirate King, this title was the dream of all pirates.
"Alright, isn't it just the Pirate King?"
"I will also be able to obtain this title in the future, and then it won't be so surprising."
As long as he had the system, nothing was a problem.
Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika form, the most reckless ability in the world.
Ye Fan really wanted to fight the other party then, to see how abnormal this fruit was.
"Hahaha!"
Clearly, regarding Ye Fan's words, the two thought Ye Fan was just joking and didn't take him seriously.
Being the Pirate King was not that easy; their dreams were merely to live their own lives well.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Ye Fan didn't explain further; time was a good thing that could prove everything.
The three sailed the 'Emperor' away from Twin Capes, heading towards Whiskey Peak.
And far behind Ye Fan's ship, after Krokus gave Laboon a sedative, he looked in the direction Ye Fan had departed.
"I wonder if this young man is the one Roger was waiting for."
"These young people nowadays are truly terrifying; they are all monsters."
Although Ye Fan hadn't displayed his strength, Krokus could feel the pressure, and it seemed he truly was getting old.
The affairs of this world had nothing to do with him; he should just live out the rest of his days well!
