If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 31 Beast Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. - Prequel

There are many rumors about the Devil's Triangle before the crossing.

Some say the shadowy figure hiding here is Im, others say it houses the Heavenly King...

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

But Barzel was more concerned with another version of events.

The Bermuda Triangle is a vital sea route to the New World, and hundreds of ships disappear there every year. All the ships that are found are empty, without crew.

The Beasts Pirates entered the Devil's Triangle Sea in a different way than other ships.

He accidentally killed a Celestial Dragon. To prevent the Buster Call from coming, Kaido used his Flame Cloud ability to send the ship flying into the sky and quickly leave the Sabaody Archipelago.

Access is also very simple.

Kaido maneuvered his flying sailboat to the center of the thick fog, then plummeted straight down.

During this process, Bazel noticed the area covered by the black fog.

It's large, but not so large that it's insurmountable.

If this black fog that interferes with the magnetic field doesn't move, and the ships of those victims keep moving in one direction, they will definitely be able to sail out of this sea.

However, there have been very few reports of ships surviving in recent years.

In other words...

Those ships that strayed into this area were in such a panic that they sailed haphazardly.

Nowadays, most sailboats are propelled by wind power.

Let's assume the Devil's Triangle is "alive".

Under certain circumstances, the wind can blow in the black fog, and as it propels the sailboat forward, it carries the black fog along with it, circulating in this special corridor-shaped sea area.

That means that no matter where those ships went, they always maintained the same direction of travel and almost the same speed as the black fog.

This has given rise to the terrifying legends surrounding the Devil's Triangle.

And now it is the year 1492 of the Sea Calendar, and that terrifying three-masted sailing ship should still be anchored somewhere in the Western Sea.

Without interference from other factors, normal ships can leave this area.

Very simple.

Fold up the sails and stay still. Once you sense the direction of the wind, use the oars to move in the opposite direction. This way, you can get out of this sea area in the shortest time.

"John dared not deceive Kaido when defeat was imminent, assuming that the black mist here could be blown away by the wind."

Barzel raised the record pointer in his hand.

"The location where the Locust Treasure is stored may be a small island that is revealed when the black mist flows to other sea areas."

"The location of that island is exactly where this record pointer is located."

"Babanuki, furl the sails. Since there's wind moving here, it means the black fog is already migrating. We just need to wait quietly."

"learn!"

Bazel put away the Log Pose and turned to look at Kaido:

"The situation is not yet fully resolved. We can stay here for a maximum of seven days. Maybe we can find the island once the fog dissipates."

……

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the fifth day, just as dawn was breaking.

"Wait, is it just getting light?"

Bazel looked at the clearing sky and gave Conan (adjusting his glasses): Just as I suspected.

Yet, there was a strange sense of bewilderment mixed in with it.

Gazing at the receding black mist ahead, he felt as if he had overlooked something important...

"It really is just as you analyzed, Bazel."

Jin, who was resting on the deck, slowly got up, his expression complicated.

"Could Devil Fruits really grant their users a smarter brain?"

"Or is it that eight heads are indeed more useful than one head?"

Hahaha~~

Bazel patted Jhin on the shoulder and comforted him in a warm voice:

"My dear, you're still a long way from becoming a real man."

"Follow me and learn a lot from me. A man should not only have a strong body, but also a smart mind."

"These are all part of life's journey, Abel!!"

The complex emotions in Jin's heart vanished instantly, and he expressionlessly slapped away Bazel's hand that was frantically patting his shoulder.

"I hope these words came from Mr. Kaido, and not from you, you humanoid snake with seven extra heads."

Bazel rolled up his sleeves: (ÒωÓ！)p

"Are you looking down on your great brother?!"

"Sorry," King said, walking toward the cabin. "I really don't see what's so great about that drunkard who cries when he's drunk. In that respect, you're just as trash as Mr. Kaido."

"You damn Jhin, I challenge you to a duel!"

Jhin carried Bazel, who was choking him, into the cabin.

"Mr. Kaido, the sky has cleared up, it's time for the treasure to make its appearance."

! !

Two vertical pupils suddenly lit up in the darkness.

"Finally! I can't wait any longer! Abel, get Babanuki to set sail immediately!"

"Yes, Mr. Kaido!"

……

The Beasts Pirates are not far from the location of the permanent log pole.

It was only a short half-day voyage.

The ship then anchored on a lush, uninhabited island.

Bazel parted his lips slightly, and the gray poison of Naraku silently flew out, landing on the skeletons lying motionless on the sand.

The cracking sound of bones rubbing together rang out.

A skeleton with missing arms and legs stood before Bazel.

"The Redeemer, Transformed."

At a command.

The skeletons roared as they charged toward each other.

The bones collided and deformed, then glued back together under a gray aura.

In just a few breaths, a large convertible SUV that could accommodate many people appeared.

Bazel sat in the driver's seat, while Amaterasu Toki naturally sat in the passenger seat.

"Get in the car."

"Wow, that's awesome!!!"

Olga ran quickly around the skull-cart, her eyes now shining with golden stars.

"Wow, Bazel is amazing!!"

The skull-shaped vehicle is over ten meters long, with tires made up of several round and full oversized skulls, and seats made up of ribs or spines.

Although not powered by motors, gasoline, or other substances, Bazel still assembled a standard doorless off-road vehicle based on his memories from his previous life.

For aesthetic reasons, a white bull's head was even placed on the hood.

"Bazaar, the space seems a bit too big~"

Bazel looked back.

"Olga, the last two seats are for Kaido and King, your seat is in the middle."

"Get in the car quickly! Are you two planning to find the treasure on foot?!"

Kaido and King sat at the back somewhat awkwardly, looking left and right, touching things with curiosity in their eyes.

"What a novel tool, Bazel! How did you come up with this?"

"Why have I never seen anything like this before?"

"It's just a bone cart, merely a clever application by the redeemers."

Bazel patted the steering wheel made of his head and cervical spine.

As the power was activated, two beams of eerie blue light shone from the eye sockets of the skull.

"Babanuki, leave some people to watch the boat, the rest of you enter the island from the right and make sure to search the entire island thoroughly."

"The Beast Land is departing!!"

Babanuki watched the departing skeleton car with envy.

"So handsome! Brother Bazel is definitely a man at the forefront of fashion!"

"Men, get moving! If this trip goes smoothly, I'll go ask Brother Bazel to make us a few cars to play with!"

"Oh!!! Long live Boss Babanuki!"

"Long live Brother Bazel!"

……

"Bazaar, this car."

As a scientist, Ashie sensed the presence of science.

"If we equip this car with a power unit, wouldn't it be able to break free from your control and achieve high-speed travel?"

King and Kaido in the back row had their eyes light up.

If this could really come true, their Beasts Pirates would definitely be the coolest crew on the sea.

"What I meant was, wait a minute, let me sort out my thoughts..."

Ashie thought for half a minute before speaking again.

"What I mean is, what if we had a group of skilled craftsmen who could use steel to create the shape of the Skull Car?"

"If I find a way to generate energy, it will become an independent entity, right?"

"Wait, Ashie."

King interrupted, nudging Kaido with his elbow.

"Mr. Kaido, we can fulfill the conditions Asiye mentioned in the future, right?"

"Didn't you say that Wano Country is a country of forging? There must be a lot of craftsmen there."

"Didn't Bazel mention an illegal scientist before? If we let him join the Beasts Pirates, then all the conditions will be met."

Kaido rested his chin on his hand and nodded slowly, as if to express his approval.

"Bazaar,"

Jin shouted to Bazel, who was trying to figure out the direction:

"If everything goes smoothly, we can even add some Seastone and weapon modification techniques to the existing construction."

"In this way, we will be well replenished in terms of both combat capabilities and funding in the future."
