Although it is said that most of the mangroves from No. 50 to No. 59 gather shipyards and coating craftsmen, Kronos' boat was moored beside mangrove No. 33.
But that doesn't hinder them at all, because the sequence numbers of these mangroves are not in any particular order.
For example, it's not the case that mangrove tree No. 1 is next to No. 2. These mangroves are arranged randomly. Although Kronos is currently near mangrove No. 33, he can clearly see a sign showing No. 51 on a nearby mangrove tree!
Of course, if Kronos wants to reach the mangrove area between No. 50 and No. 59, he will have to pass through a part of the No. 40-49 mangrove area or through the No. 10-19 mangrove area to reach the No. 50-59 area.
The islands are connected, so it's possible to reach any of them from anywhere. The two routes mentioned above are just the nearest paths for Kronos.
"Let's head to the island," Kronos called to the crew behind him.
He was the first to land on the island, followed closely by Madara, Gojo Satoru, and the others.
Soon, Kronos and his crew entered a park. The park was spacious, with many facilities and houses, as well as a fair number of people.
"Where are we going, Captain?" Gojo Satoru asked with a smile, approaching Kronos.
Kronos didn't hide his plans and directly shared them with the crew. "First, we need to go to the mangrove area between No. 50 and No. 59 and find a coating craftsman to coat the boat."
Hearing this, Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Coating? Why? Isn't the boat fine as it is?"
Kronos patiently explained, "We're in the first half of the Grand Line, and if we want to go to the second half, we have to pass through Fish-Man Island, which is 10,000 meters under the sea. Modern ships can't navigate underwater, but once the ship is coated, it can sail under the sea."
Gojo Satoru nodded in understanding and stopped asking further questions. He smiled, holding Kabuto, and silently followed Kronos.
However, after explaining to Gojo Satoru, Kronos fell into some thought.
The issue with finding a coating craftsman was that the only person Kronos knew was Rayleigh, the legendary coating craftsman. Although there were other craftsmen on the island, their skill level was a concern. If the coating failed and the ship sank 10,000 meters under the sea, it would be disastrous.
"Should we go straight to Rayleigh?" Kronos whispered to himself before coming to a decision. "Let's look around first. If we can't find a reliable craftsman, we'll head to Rayleigh."
But the Sabaody Archipelago was vast, and Kronos wasn't sure how difficult it would be to find a competent coating craftsman. As they passed through the No. 40-49 mangrove area, Kronos and his crew arrived at the No. 52 mangrove area.
At the same time, an "acquaintance" of Kronos also arrived at No. 52 mangrove area.
"Here's a pizza!" Bonney didn't care about her image. After gulping down a large piece of pizza, she waved at her crew.
Upon hearing her greeting, the crew immediately handed her a whole pizza in a box. Bonney, not one to be polite, grabbed the box with one hand, picked up a small piece of pizza with the other, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hahahahaha…"
With large mouthfuls of pizza, Bonney's mouth became covered with crumbs.
Passersby on the street, seeing Bonney eating so rudely, couldn't help but sneer.
"Hey, hey, hey, look at that person!"
"Is she really a woman? What a rude appearance!"
"Such a beautiful face, but she's so unpleasant… What a turnoff!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
Among the crowd, Basil Hawkins, also one of the most notorious pirates, observed Bonney. There was no helping it; Bonney's actions were too eye-catching. She strutted through the street, eating so rudely, and people subconsciously moved out of her way.
It was impossible for anyone not to notice her.
Unlike those who laughed aloud, Hawkins silently pulled out his tarot cards and began shuffling them.
"Shahahah~" A crisp shuffle echoed through the area.
Hawkins slowly turned over a tarot card, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "This is fate."
"Some people are about to get unlucky!"
At that moment, the people who had been mocking Bonney suddenly felt a shadow fall over them.
Their laughter abruptly ceased as they looked up in confusion, and there, standing before them, was Bonney!
Behind her stood a large group of burly men.
Bonney, her mouth still full of pizza, stared coldly at the group and asked, "You… you're making fun of me?"
Hearing this, the man facing Bonney felt a cold sweat running down his forehead. He trembled as fear gripped him, and his voice shook as he said, "No… No, I…!"
Before he could finish speaking, Bonney delivered a sharp kick to his face.
"Boom!!"
The sound of a painful impact echoed through the street.
The man cried out in pain as he flew backward, hitting the ground heavily.
"Thump!"
Dark red blood began to pour from his nose.
Before the man could rise, Bonney spoke coldly again, "Kill them!!"
At these words, the burly men behind Bonney rushed forward.
Anyone who had mocked Bonney earlier was quickly thrown to the ground and beaten senseless by Bonney's crew. They didn't stop until their heads were a bloody mess.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Ugh! Ugh…"
The sound of brutal punches and painful cries filled the air, and bystanders, terrified, fled the scene.
The commotion attracted the attention of the Kamui Pirates, who were passing nearby.
Captain Kronos, hearing the noise, subconsciously stopped and looked sideways.
At that moment, he recognized a familiar face.
Jewelry Bonney!
And Bonney, spotting Kronos, froze as if struck by five thunderbolts. The pizza in her hand dropped to the ground.
"Snap!"
"No?!!!"
