The little green Den Den Mushi, swaying on the deck, looked up just in time to see a sea fish falling from the sky, landing directly in its mouth. It rapidly shrank to an incredible size and was stuffed into its body…
Robin set down her book, and the soft chair beneath her transformed into a white fluid that merged into the City Fortress. She walked back into the Den Den Mushi City Fortress, where Liam was already urging the little green to use the Shiro Shiro no Mi (Castle-Castle Fruit) to create a set of cooking tools.
After much effort, they finally cooked the sea fish. Liam and Robin returned to the deck, savoring the delicious fish meat while surrounded by the vast sea and sky, with the salty breeze blowing around them.
Liam casually brushed aside Robin's hair that had fallen into her mouth, and Robin looked up to see the white sail billowing in the wind, completely pristine.
"Are you going to draw something?" She asked with a smile while eating. "Speaking of which, we can consider ourselves pirates, at least on the wanted posters."
"You decide, Captain Jolyne," Liam replied, taking big bites.
Robin smirked, and with a thought, petals surged on the deck, quickly transforming into one of her and one of Liam.
Robin's flower clone flicked the little green Den Den Mushi that was gnawing on the fish meat, prompting it to go inside the City Fortress to fetch paint and brushes.
Meanwhile, the flower-like Liam clone grabbed the tools and then had petals spray from its waist, shooting up like a fountain.
"Flower Liam's" eight-pack abs quickly grew to eighteen, then twenty-eight… Flower Liam stood tall with a waist that was several meters long, the upper body already holding a paint bucket and brush as it approached the sail.
Through Flower Liam's eyes, Liam could see a completely different perspective and praised, "Your control has improved; can you really do such fine manipulation now?"
"How about it? Am I a bit more handsome than you?" Robin raised an eyebrow playfully, accepting his compliment.
"This makes me reflect," Liam mused while grabbing another piece of fish. "With your unique taste, it's quite a hassle for you to have a good impression of a guy like me…"
Robin laughed and shook her head, then began to control the sausage-shaped Flower Liam to paint on the sail…
Soon, as Flower Liam scattered into a flurry of petals, the patterns on the small boat's sail were completed.
One of the skull's eye sockets was painted with a butterfly, representing Jolyne, while the other was painted with a ladybug, representing Giorno.
The crossed bones were replaced with two mirrored "J" letters, symmetrically placed on either side of the skull.
Liam glanced at it and smiled, evaluating, "It's still a bit lacking compared to what I painted in West Blue."
Robin tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Where's the lack?" As a result, her hand got greasy from the fish.
"If you don't believe me, we can compare when we go back to West Blue," Liam huffed, casually swallowing and licking Robin's finger.
The hairs behind Robin's ears slightly stood up, her finger wrapped in his mouth feeling a bit stiff. She pursed her lips, and after a moment, she pulled it out, seemingly naturally wiping the saliva on his clothes, not looking into his eyes, reminiscing, "Where did that ship end up…?"
"I forgot; it should be in Las Camp," Liam casually replied, pointing to the cabin. "If you can't remember, you can ask the magical little black…"
The magical little black was like a merciless helmsman, steadily steering the ship's direction.
The small JOJO pirate ship sailed across the Grand Line's sea.
After leaving the stable magnetic whirlpool of the island, the magnetic conditions on the Grand Line became chaotic and unstable due to the complex interplay of magnetic fields, causing the weather to become wildly unpredictable…
Just a few minutes ago, it was sunny, and in the blink of an eye, it was thunder and lightning; now it was snowing heavily, and soon it would be sunshine again, and after a while, it would pour rain…
Even with Liam's Magnet-Magnet Fruit, it was difficult to untangle the intricate and ever-changing magnetic characteristics, making it hard to summarize specific patterns.
"Good thing I'm a slacker; I don't get tangled up in it," Liam sighed.
What was just a few dozen kilometers of sailing felt like passing through wind, frost, rain, and snow, experiencing the four seasons in a short time. This was a unique experience only the Grand Line could offer.
Robin and Liam sat side by side at the entrance of the City Fortress on the forehead of the Den Den Mushi, admiring the snowy scenery outside.
Perhaps only under such conditions could they leisurely appreciate the unpredictable weather of the Grand Line as a scenic view… ordinary pirates would have long been complaining about such dreadful weather…
Robin smiled, gently resting her head on Liam's shoulder, her eyes closed as she flipped through her book.
"Hey, what if I want to stand up like this?" Liam expressed his dissatisfaction, crossing his arms.
"You're not allowed to talk."
"Oh."
"You're not allowed to move."
"Oh…"
Currently, the route was merely a "branch" of the seven main magnetic routes, with several deserted small islands along the way. Unless one had an Eternal Pose or other navigation methods, it was no wonder that the previous small island was one even pirates were too lazy to visit…
Liam didn't have an Eternal Pose, but he had the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, so no matter what kind of island it was, even if it took decades to log the magnetic field, he could speed up the process to just a few seconds, allowing the Log Pose to instantly record and point to the next island.
Sailing had never been so simple.
As Liam marveled, the snow on the sails of the JOJO pirate ship had long melted, and the sea breeze carried a warm autumn scent.
"The weather has stabilized; we should be nearing the next island."
Robin and Liam stood at the bow of the deck, her hair fluttering as she closed her eyes and said, "Maybe it's a spring island, or maybe it's an autumn island."
"Sounds like the climate is nice," Liam said, crossing his arms and looking ahead. "Just some people who ruin the scenery."
Robin opened her eyes in confusion, seeing the approaching island, a mountainous island that looked yellow and earthy from a distance, likely an autumn island, only to notice a battleship quietly docked at its shore. Robin immediately understood what Liam meant by people who ruin the scenery.
"Strange, it doesn't look like a Marine battleship…" Liam mutters to himself.
"Because it's not Marine," Robin replied. "The World Government has other military forces besides the Marines… they just seem less significant compared to the main military power of the Marines."
Liam realized that the old Fleet Admiral, who resembled a giant gorilla, had become the so-called "Commander-in-Chief of the entire military" after Sengoku was promoted to Marine Fleet Admiral.
Since he was the Commander-in-Chief of the entire military, clearly, the World Government had a military structure distinct from the Marines.
However, in this world of the sea, the Marines undoubtedly held the dominant position, and it was likely that only the Marine Fleet Admiral could fulfill the role of the so-called "Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies."
"Should we avoid them?" Robin asked.
"Are you scared?" Liam looked down at her.
Robin looked up, smiling brightly, "Nico Robin might be scared, but as long as Giorno Chopper is by my side, Jolyne doesn't fear anything."
"It's Chopper Giorno," Liam corrected her.
"It's Liam," Robin corrected back.
The two exchanged smiles. Liam waved his hand, calling out, "Let's go check the island and see if there's an Eternal Pose for sale."
"Which Pose are you looking for? Sabaody Archipelago?"
"Do we even need a Pose for that place? I'm looking for Momoiro Island…"
