Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: The Necessity of Keeping Pets

The unique geographical environment of Little Garden causes magnetic anomalies, meaning it takes a full year for a Log Pose to set its magnetic field.

This is also one of the islands on the Grand Line where Seven does not have a Log Pose record.

If the nearby waters were stable routes like the Four Seas, one could search for Little Garden slowly, but the Grand Line has an abnormal climate with frequent severe weather.

All of these factors increase the difficulty of the search.

Taking the helm, Seven activated his Observation Haki, which was amplified by electromagnetic waves, acting like a radar sensor to explore the surrounding waters.

Radar Sensing, as the name suggests, uses electromagnetic waves to detect, locate, and identify targets, far exceeding the range of standard Observation Haki.

The current limit of its distance is still unknown.

The search process was tedious, and before long, the weather changed drastically once again.

The wind roared like thunder, and the rain fell like arrows and knives.

Surging waves clashed against each other, causing the hull of the east blue emperor to shake violently.

At this moment, Seven's desire for a professional helmsman like the "Blue Fatty" Jinbe became Stronger than ever before.

After all, he was not a professional helmsman.

Professional matters should be left to the professionals.

On this trip to Hachinosu Island in the New World, Fish-Man Island is a necessary stop. He must go find Jinbe then; it would be best if he could get him to join the crew.

However, Fish-Man Island is currently under Whitebeard's protection, and Jinbe views the Fishman Tiger as his idol, so the difficulty of recruiting him is obvious.

This has nothing to do with dreams, but rather the severe antagonism between Fishmen and humans, as they are heavily discriminated against by humans.

But these things will not become obstacles for Seven.

Strictly speaking, he is no longer human.

Of course, he first needs to go to Sabaody Archipelago to coat the east blue emperor before they can enter the underwater paradise, Fish-Man Island, located ten thousand meters below the sea.

coating is one of the few sailing-related skills that Seven has not mastered.

He found it truly hard to believe that a mere layer of coating could allow a ship to dive ten thousand meters, which is even more powerful than a submarine; it simply doesn't fit physical common sense.

How can one learn something they don't believe in deep down?

When Seven sensed an island far ahead through his Observation Haki, the torrential rain stopped abruptly.

Anyone who frequently sails the Grand Line knows that if the fickle weather suddenly becomes stable, it is often a sign of approaching an island.

Seven immediately increased the current input, and the east blue emperor surged forward at five times its normal speed.

About ten minutes later, two giant, mysterious animal skulls appeared in his line of sight.

Little Garden

The size of creatures in the Pirate World—

From Zunesha, who carries Zou Island on its back, standing 35,000 meters tall and 20,000 meters long, to super-sized Sea Kings over 5,000 meters long, down to the Tontatta Tribe who are the size of a human palm.

The diversity of species is demonstrated to the absolute fullest.

Among humans themselves, short people under two meters coexist with giants as tall as 8.8 meters.

The tallest member of the Morning Star Pirates is Kuma at nearly Seven meters, followed by Seven, whose height ascend to 2.71 meters due to his Lunarian Tribe bloodline.

Then there's Fujitora at 2.7 meters.

Mihawk, who has been stuck at 1.98 meters for two years.

Finally, Ginny, who is the same height as Luffy.

After finding a stable shore to drop anchor, Seven called all the members of the pirate crew to go ashore, treating it as the last group activity before seeing off little Robin.

The reason for coming to Little Garden was first for the former Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, "Blue Ogre" Dorry and "Red Ogre" Brogy.

The individual combat power of these two giants is already at the top level in Elbaf. The tacit coordination they've refined through nearly a hundred years of battle makes their combined technique, Hakkoku, possess strategic-level destructive power.

Eighty years ago, the bounties of both exceeded 100 million.

Twenty-two years later, they will reach 1.8 billion; together, they are firmly at the level of a Yonko's top executive.

With such formidable combat power, even if they can't be invited on board now, it's always good to get acquainted early, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Second, it was for a Dinosaur pet.

Pets are like Yan Ying for the strong; they are lucky mascots in the Pirate World—

To give a simple example.

The Straw Hat Pirates have Chopper the reindeer, the Red Hair Pirates have Monster the monkey, and the Blackbeard Pirates have Stronger the horse, which is why they are still doing fine after becoming Four Emperors.

Meanwhile, other Emperor-level pirate groups without pets, such as the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates, have all met with defeat without exception.

Whether Cross Guild has a pet doesn't matter at all; having Buggy is enough.

In short, those with pets are all firmly seated as Four Emperors, while those without pets are all eliminated.

Regardless of whether this guess is reasonable, Seven still chose to raise a pet as a mascot.

As for what Devil Fruit to feed the Dinosaur?

The dragon-dragon fruit, which Vegapunk copied from the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Azure Dragon Form, is quite suitable.

A pink Dinosaur, that sounds very promising.

After occupying Hachinosu Island, on the way to Elbaf, he can stop by Egghead Island to retrieve the dragon-dragon fruit and feed it to the Morning Star Pirates' little Kaido.

Walking along the jungle, Seven had already chosen names for the pet Dinosaur.

The one that eats the Azure Dragon model will be called Kawaiduo.

The one that eats the dragon-dragon fruit will be called Duokeai.

"Mihawk, remember to help me keep an eye out for a Tyrannosaurus Rex; pick a strong and interesting one."

Mihawk nodded slightly, and in his heart, he began to wonder if he should also raise a pet. If Beelzebul raises a Tyrannosaurus Rex, what should he raise?

A Tiger? A lion? A baboon?

Tigers and lions are majestic, but they aren't as good as baboons that can hold weapons. If he could train a group of baboon swordsmen, that would also be quite promising.

A smile played on the corners of Mihawk's mouth.

As the saying goes, one takes on the color of one's company. After spending so much time with Seven, Mihawk had unknowingly and gradually become a bit devious.

Not only him, but even the honest Fujitora would occasionally joke with the crew.

The only one not yet influenced by Seven might be Kuma, with Ginny and Robin sitting on his shoulders; Kuma was truly too gentle.

Roar~

A long, coarse roar of a prehistoric beast came from the jungle ahead. Seven's eyes lit up, and a joyful expression appeared on his face.

"Mihawk, Kuma-san, I'll go take a look first."

Accompanied by the sound of crackling electricity, Seven instantly arrived at the source of the sound—

He saw a strong giant over twenty meters tall, wearing an iron face-guard helmet and a long beard, with a huge longsword at his waist, a round shield in his left hand, and a Triceratops in his right.

Noticing Seven's arrival, the giant crouched down and looked at the little fellow in front of him.

"White-haired little fellow, do you have any wine?"

The giant Dorry had been on the island for eighty years. Food was plentiful, but there was no good wine, which made him feel very sorrowful.

After saying this, Dorry raised his hand and gestured with the prey in his hand: "I'll treat you to meat."

Seven took out a wine barrel taller than himself from the system space; this was grain wine he had brewed in his spare time on the ship.

"The last barrel, drink it sparingly."

Dorry snapped the Triceratops' neck with a crack, then threw it on the ground, impatiently picked up the wine barrel, and gulped it down in one go.

"Good wine, friend! Is there any more?"

Seven spread his hands.

"I told you, it's the last barrel."

"However, if you're willing to come with me, in the future, this kind of fine wine... will be in unlimited supply."
