...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Repeated-!"
At night, a ship docked at sea.
In the dining room of the cabin, the four held a banquet.
Holding a wine glass filled with juice, the four of them stood up to clink a glass and then chatted about various topics while having a carefully prepared dinner by the three girls.
"...Nii-san, now you are a famous 'big guy' in the East Blue and almost all the big pirates whose information was revealed at this year's rank have also been crucified by us."
After chatting, Carina's topic returned to their main business: "Then, whether we'll keep a low profile for a while and wait for the rankings to be updated, or mosquitoes keep the meat no matter how small they are, or mosquitoes keep the meat, and the reward for those who are not tall, but 'little pirates', whose information is almost open to the public, are we hunting them down?"
"Let's take a break."
El drank some fresh juice, and suddenly looked at Nami who was sitting next to Carina, and said, "Next, let's go somewhere and look for something."
"Where?"
Nami doesn't realize that El's eyes are wrong and thinks that Nii-san asked about her navigator skills so she can't help but ask curiously.
"Isle of Sixis, do you know this place?" El asked.
"Isn't Sixis? Very familiar place name..."
Nami seemed to have heard of it before.
Carina next to him also put down her wine glass, pinched her chin and showed a contemplative gaze.
Looking at the expressions of the two women, Kuina who was sitting next to El, exuded a hint of envy in her eyes.
It had been more than ten days since he joined.
But Kuina discovers that in addition to spending El's money and eating El's rice, she doesn't help El or even the entire team at all.
Having lived in a small place in Shimotsuki Village ever since Kuina became self-conscious, there was nothing else on her mind but a sword.
Unlike Nami, who has a strong sailing talent and geographical knowledge.
She was also unlike Carina, who had a precocious mind, a gathering of powerful intelligence and communication skills, which others could not say she was just an eight-year-old girl.
He was unlike El, who was a swordsman at the age of eight. Facing a group of ferocious pirates, he was like killing a chicken.
Compared to the three of them, Kuina was like a gentle and lazy spoiled girl!
This is certainly a very surprising thing for this haughty girl.
"...Don't be discouraged, you're not in the same position as them."
Just when Kuina was feeling extremely depressed, a palm suddenly placed on top of her head and patted her very fine blue hair.
He saw El smiling and comforting him, "You are an important member of our team. From tomorrow on, I'll train you hard."
"Well, I'll try my best!"
Kuina nodded vigorously, and a flame called fighting spirit lit up in her beautiful eyes.
"I. I remember!"
At this moment, Nami's voice suddenly broke the atmosphere.
After patting the dining table, Nami looked at El with a puzzled expression: "Sixis Island, if I remember correctly, it is a very famous and dangerous desert island in the East Blue."
"Wasteland island? I remember too..."
" behind her beautiful appearance, there is a deadly danger."
"Sixis Island is an uninhabited island with no animals, no water, no trees, and no fruit."
"If people had a Shipwreck at sea and accidentally entered this uninhabited island, they would starve to death unless they were lucky enough to find the ship that passed through Sixis Island."
"Therefore, Sixis is a very famous island in the East Blue, but no one dares to go there."
After speaking, Carina looked at El and asked, "Nii-san, what are you going to look for on Sixis Island?"
"I went there to look for the devil fruit!" El said without hiding.
"Fruit of Satan?"
This foreign word left Carina and Nami dumbfounded once again.
Immediately, the two women seemed to be thinking of something, and their beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
"Could possibly... Could it..."
Carina, the first to react, stuttered in a rare tone: "Yes.is it a legendary treasure of the sea...Devil Fruit?"
El nodded with a smile.
"jose..."
Seeing El nod, Carina and Nami gasped.
"The secret treasure of the sea really exists?"
Because of believing in El, no one doubted the authenticity of the Devil Fruit.
But Carina could not help her curiosity so she asked again "Nii-san, since you don't know the location of Sixis Island, how do you know that there is a legendary sea treasure on this island?"
"As expected of you, you always hit a nail on the head."
El thumbs up at Carina, then starts to lie, revealing the tip of the iceberg about her abilities to the three girls. "Remember what I said about the Haki Observation?"
"Uh-huh..."
Carina and Nami nodded again and again, and Kuina also put down her chopsticks and looked at El's handsome and pretty face, waiting for her words.
"Before visiting Kuina's father, I actually had no idea what Haki's Observation was, and I thought in this world, only I had this kind of power."
El said slowly: "It wasn't until I challenged the senior that I knew what Haki Observation was, and at the same time I realized that my Haki Observation seemed to be different from the Haki Observation of others."
"Because... My Observation Haki is an innate ability, and it seems like I also have a special ability next to him."
After a short pause, El looked at Carina and Nami in front of him, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised: "That ability... As long as I touch someone, I can read their memories."
"..."
When El's words fell,
Nami who was sitting opposite El, and Kuina who had just touched El's hand turned pale.
On the other hand, Carina did not panic at all, instead, she showed an expression as she expected and said, "No wonder Nii-san touched our heads for the first time when we first met and your words and actions changed, it turns out that you read our memories back then."
After speaking, Carina looked at El with bright eyes: "Just by touching the other party, you can read their memories. This ability was simply the most suitable skill for intelligence gathering."
