Chapter 346

"No... not saying goodbye?"

"Goodbye?"

"Not needed."

Locke's gaze paused, but he soon shook his head firmly.

"We are all men of the sea..."

"If there's a chance, we'll naturally meet again; if there's no chance, everyone will just disappear on the road of chasing dreams. What's the point of saying goodbye? Let nature take its course, let the era witness everything!"

"The sea beneath our feet! That's the best goodbye."

——

With Kaido's departure.

It was as if a curtain had been pulled back.

One figure after another, either sneaking around, or with great fanfare, or in groups of three or five, all tacitly arrived at the edge of the floating island's coast one after another.

Looking at the rows of ships on the coast, no one showed an expression of surprise.

A group of people arriving one after another.

Unanimously, each chose a ship they liked to board, then opened the engine room and left toward the distance of the sea.

As the figures became sparse.

The center of the originally happy and noisy banquet also became inexplicably cold.

The melodious laughter was much less, leaving only the sound of continuous drinking. Amidst the crackling of the bonfire, the remaining people reminisced about the past, talking about missing their friendship—or rather, missing their youth.

"Soufflé Macchiato? Not bad, not bad, give me another one!"

Lingling's eyes lit up, pinching a perfectly shaped dessert, and inhaled it directly in a storm. In the increasingly strange atmosphere of the banquet, she didn't mix with the few 'alcoholics' but ate desserts by herself.

The style can be said to be quite novel.

But her terrifying strength also gave her the qualification to be unconventional.

Wang Zhi's gaze paused.

In the end, he withdrew his obscure expression.

Instead, he dealt with Bai Huzi, who was looking at them with ill intent in front of him.

Drink... wine...

——

"Eh?"

"Your Highness, aren't we going back to the North Blue?"

"Why does it feel like this route... seems a bit wrong?"

Leone tilted her head, paired with her furry ears, looking both arrogant and cute.

Outside the cabin.

The blue sea waves swept past rapidly. Although they looked like similar scenes, the lion king's instinctive intuition made Leone realize that this direction seemed to be going in the opposite direction of the North Blue.

Could it be that the shipping lane was wrong?

"That's right!"

"This is not the direction to the North Blue."

Locke nodded.

"Ah?"

"Didn't you say that after God Valley ends, we would go back to the North Blue together to develop Noxas?"

"Could it be, Your Highness, you have a new plan?"

Leone looked cute and dazed.

When it came to fighting, she was absolutely a king; having fought her way out of the slums, she could be said to be the most proficient in close-quarters combat among the Teigu users. But when it came to major policy, she was completely stuck.

Such super-standard things were completely beyond the applicable range of her IQ!! ===== CHAPTER 348 =====
