Lucci glanced at the people and turned towards the direction of the banquet hall kitchen, "Now we have temporarily joined the Disaster Pirates, for now it's considered cooperation, right? We also need a place to settle to avoid being chased by the Navy, so be it..."
"You arrogant cat, wait until Sage comes back and teaches you a lesson!" Renedia waved her small fist at Lucci.
As Lucci relaxed his stance, the surrounding pirates loosened their encirclement, and Jabra secretly breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely unsure of what to do.
He didn't want to fight the Disaster Pirates, but Lucci was his comrade, he couldn't ignore it.
Thankfully... it didn't come to a fight.
"We're all on the same ship, don't be so tense, we mean no harm, you guys know me."
Jabra shouted to the people around, "I'm Jabra the great, I've been on this ship for a while, you should trust me!"
"It's because of you."
Gin gave him a sideways glance, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have accepted your request to come aboard, don't cause trouble, Jabra, or I'll personally take you out!"
"You damn black skin ghost!"
Jabra shouted angrily, "Your strength isn't higher than mine, I'm still an Ability User, don't get too cocky!"
"Captain Sage said that so-called strength is just an illusion, a person's will shouldn't be influenced by such measures."
Gin said, "Also, your training results aren't out yet, before you talk like that, get your training results up first."
"I don't need a reminder from you!"
Jabra rolled his eyes and shouted, "Las! Las! Come quickly, let me see if you've improved!"
Eight-year-old Las walked out innocently, raised his hand, "Master Jabra, we've only not seen each other for a day, then you're back again, such a short time, there won't be any improvement."
...
Half a day later.
In the conference room on the third floor.
In the slightly dim space, Lily sat in the chair on the left, and beside her were Marika, Renedia, Hawkins, also sitting on the left.
Behind them, led by Gin, Pearl, Mute, and Bellamy stood behind him.
On the right side, Lucci sat alone, and the rest of CP9 stood behind him.
"Our plan is simple, we will continue with the plan Sage previously set."
Lily spoke, "Now whether Sage is dead or alive, captured or escaped, we completely don't know, but that doesn't mean we're not taking action. The best way is to cause a commotion, make it into the news reports."
Lucci remained silent, but Blueno thought for a moment behind him and said in a deep voice, "Is it to prevent people in the Pirates from causing trouble? If your Pirates keep a low profile, someone will definitely be dissatisfied."
Kaku nodded and said, "After all, the Captain is Sage, it's not surprising."
"There's this factor," Lily said.
Another factor is to prevent Sage from forgetting the phone number of the Radio Snail, not knowing where they are.
"All in all, before the newspaper comes out, I'm not planning to change Sage's approach."
Lily glanced backward, "Pearl, take out the Sea Map."
"Yes, Lady Lily!"
Pearl walked to the middle-back position, pulled out a blackboard, and posted the massive approximate Sea Map of the Grand Line, which had some incomplete magnetic islands, as well as some small dots and arrows on it.
"The red dot position is where we were previously, below Enies Lobby."
Lily said, "The arrow position is the direction we're heading, also the original raid target located at the Magnetic Field Island where the sixth and seventh routes merge, the kingdom on the island is called 'Sisomia'."
On the Sea Map of the Grand Line, the sixth and seventh routes merge in the mid-section, all concentrated on that Magnetic Field Island.
This is very normal. After all, when sailing the Grand Line, besides the Eternal Pose, the Log Pose will only store the magnetic power of the next island, easily attracted by stronger magnetic power, like that island.
Just like they will eventually converge at Fishman Island, some routes also have similar nodes.
"I know that place."
Kaku said, "It's a country with a territory not inferior to Alabasta, and the land is fertile."
"Oh? Do you know the specifics?" Lily asked.
"No... just heard of it, we haven't been there yet."
Kaku shook his head, "But just us, the time spent isn't minor, once deep inside, we'll be chased by the Navy."
"So we're only raiding port cities."
Lily stood up and took out a map, slapping it onto the Sea Map, showing it to everyone.
It was a detailed map of Sisomia's territory.
"Here."
She pointed to the northern position, "In the Sisomia Kingdom, there are three places worth raiding, the Royal City, the port city facing the southwest, and the port city facing the north. Of course, this is seen from the perspective of a cross map that everyone can understand, the specific position isn't like this, but don't bother about it."
Navigators are educated, average pirates aren't...
Just like most people don't know, actually the intersection of the Grand Line and the Red Earth Continent isn't cross-shaped, if the sun is east as the direction, it's an 'X' shape.
But for easy understanding, it's all described using cross-shaped maps, after all what we are seeing now is mainly the overall Grand Line approximate Sea Map upwards.
