Chapter 1285

Although Pica didn't know the route, through the preliminary negotiation with Pica, Su Xiao officially joined the Donquixote Family.

【You have successfully joined the Donquixote Family.】

【Completed promotion/main quest (one-quarter).】

【You obtained 10000 Paradise Coins.】

【You have activated the second ring of the promotion/main quest.】

【Promotion/main quest; Dressrosa (second ring).】

Difficulty level: lv. 15

Quest introduction: Arrive at Dressrosa

Quest deadline: 5 natural days.

Quest reward: 1 real attribute point.

Quest penalty: Forced execution.

Seeing the second ring of the quest, Su Xiao vaguely felt that things were not good. The quest was getting simpler and simpler, which was definitely not a good thing.

You must know that this is a collection of Su Xiao's main quest + promotion quest in an open world. How dangerous the New World area is is obvious to all. The first two rings of the quest were so simple, so the difficulty of the last two rings would be very exaggerated.

If it were a normal situation, the second ring of the quest would not be difficult. One could see from the quest difficulty of lv. 15, but for Su Xiao now, this quest was a bit dependent on luck.

First of all, most pointer-type items are ineffective in the New World. Pointers that can distinguish direction here must be at least Dark Purple, or even above Light Gold.

Without the unique pointer of the New World, it meant Su Xiao was lost at sea. Pica, on whom he pinned high hopes, was also a sea idiot. From this, one could see how important a navigator is.

Finding himself lost, Pica sat cross-legged on the ice layer to maintain his physical strength.

"No problem, I have been lost at sea twice before."

Pica chewed the compressed food in his mouth. His tone was flat, his attitude was obviously much more relaxed, and he even started chatting with Su Xiao.

"Oh? How did you solve it?"

"I can endure hunger for a long time."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't comment on Pica's solution to being lost at sea. He didn't have time to drag on. Five days later, if he couldn't arrive at Dressrosa, his Pirate World journey would end.

Su Xiao still had one exemption right for main quest failure, so even if the quest failed, he wouldn't receive the erasure penalty.

But Su Xiao didn't want to miss this opportunity to enter the Pirate World. The Pirate World had many famous blades, body techniques, and Devil Fruits were also very valuable things. Moreover, he was very interested in Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

With Su Xiao's current strength, wanting to obtain two types of Haki, although not simple, was not impossible.

He was very optimistic about the defense and attack power of Armament Haki. As for Observation Haki, he could integrate Observation Haki into his intuition ability.

The strongest point of the intuition ability is that it can integrate various perception skills. Sha, who taught Su Xiao the intuition ability, had integrated many perception-type abilities into the intuition ability.

After other perception abilities are integrated into the intuition ability, the intuition ability will not undergo essential changes, but will be greatly enhanced. If Observation Haki can be fused, the improvement to the intuition ability will definitely be great.

The ice layer floated on the sea surface with the wind. Su Xiao certainly wouldn't do as Pica suggested, waiting for a ship to pass by or drifting to some island.

Compared to waiting for a rabbit, Su Xiao was more willing to take the initiative. What is most in the New World sea? The answer is pirates running around everywhere.

Su Xiao took out an iron pipe as thick as an arm from his exclusive room and fixed the iron pipe on the ice surface. He pressed the button above.

With a bang, a red smoke ball shot out from the iron pipe. After the smoke ball flew to an altitude of three hundred meters, it exploded with a boom, forming a large cloud of red mist.

This cloud of red mist was a special chemical material that would not dissipate in a short time.

Seeing that cloud of red mist in the sky, Pica's eyes seemed to be shining. He thought of what Su Xiao was going to do.

A full five hours passed. The ice layer was very quiet. Pica sat cross-legged on the ice layer like an old monk entering meditation. Su Xiao took out another iron pipe and continued to launch large signal flares. This was a signal flare he made himself, inspired by the previous native world.

With a bang, a cloud of yellow mist exploded in the high sky. Red, orange, yellow, green, Su Xiao had tried all kinds of colors, but not even a ship appeared in the surrounding sea area.

Although it didn't attract pirates, Su Xiao didn't give up. He didn't believe that those pirates could suppress their curiosity. Pirates yearn for freedom and explore unknown things. That 'seven-colored auspicious cloud' in the sky was definitely a rare landscape.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to launch a new signal flare, a black dot appeared in the distance. That was a ship!

Seeing this ship, Su Xiao leaped into the sea and quickly disappeared from Pica's line of sight.

Half a kilometer away from the ice layer, a medium-sized sailing ship was sailing on the sea. This was a merchant ship, transporting grain, wine, etc.

Daring to transport grain and wine in the New World sea area, this merchant ship was completely courting death. But a skull was printed on the sail of this ship. Behind the skull were two crossed white bones, and that skull was still grinning. The most significant feature should be the crescent-shaped white beard on the skull.

This merchant ship was not attracted by the signal flare. This was their course; they just happened to pass by here.

"Captain, there is an abnormal situation ahead!"

A sailor with a flintlock pistol inserted at his waist shouted and ran quickly toward the captain of the merchant ship.

The captain was a one-eyed middle-aged man. He pulled down the monocular telescope at his waist and looked into the distance.

"That is... ice layer?"

Seeing the ice layer on the sea in the distance, the one-eyed captain subconsciously felt that things were not good.

Ding!

Wood chips flew. A grappling hook nailed onto the main mast of this ship. The sound of breaking water came from one side of the hull. Under the situation where the one-eyed captain and many sailors hadn't reacted, a soaking wet figure was already standing on the deck.

"Who are you!"

A young sailor shouted. Perhaps because of nervousness, his voice was a bit distorted.

"Whitebeard's ship."

Su Xiao had seen the logo on the sail while in the water. This thing possessed extremely strong deterrent power in the New World.

"That's right."

The one-eyed captain almost subconsciously puffed out his chest and raised his hand to signal those sailors not to act rashly.

"How far is it from here to Dressrosa?"

Su Xiao retracted the Boundary Breaking Line. He originally didn't want to loot this ship, so he didn't care whose ship this was. Merchant ship or pirate ship, Su Xiao only needed to find a ship and a group of people who knew how to sail, and let the other party send him to Dressrosa Island.

"About a few hours of voyage."

The one-eyed captain felt relieved in his heart. According to years of sailing experience, he had already judged what the situation was at the moment.

"Send me to Dressrosa, name your price."

"No need to name a price. We happen to be passing through the sea area near Dressrosa."

The one-eyed captain saw that Su Xiao was not easy to provoke, so he just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible. Paying a few hours of voyage and avoiding an outbreak of a bloody incident, the one-eyed captain decisively chose the former.

A few minutes later, the merchant ship sailed to that piece of ice layer. Bubu Wang, Amu, and Pica all got on the ship.

Seeing Pica, the one-eyed captain's expression became bitter. He had recognized Pica's identity earlier. Entering this sea area was easy, but wanting to leave was not that simple. The grain on his ship couldn't be stored for too long. If he was forced to anchor in Dressrosa and accept detention for as long as a few days, or even half a month, that would be a huge loss.

Pica didn't speak. He just came to the edge of the ship's side.

On a small sailing ship that was rapidly closing the distance, several pirates wearing Donquixote Family clothing were holding telescopes, observing the movements of the merchant ship at all times. They were a bit puzzled why the ship under Whitebeard would come to this sea area. This was not the only way to any route. As for coming for supplies, don't joke around. The supply station in Dressrosa closed a month ago.
