The next day, at the port of Rogge Town, Smoker and Dasqi stood here again.

The difference from yesterday was that this time they came to say goodbye. Of course, Garp didn't come. The old man was still asleep at the moment, but his adjutant Bogart still came.

"Brother Kong, we sent it here. Rogge Town is originally close to the Red Earth Continent. If there is a favorable wind from here to the nearest Red Earth Entrance, it can be reached in three hours. You can bring these fruits with you. They will be ripe on the way. It can relieve boredom.”

Smoker brought a bag of fruit and handed it to Sora. For people who often sail, this is the most suitable gift.

"Thank you so much, Brother Smoker. I look forward to meeting you on the Grand Route in a month."

"Well, then I'll have to trouble Brother Kong to be my guide."

"It's necessary! Haha, then I won't bother you any more. Mr. Garp will just ask you to worry about it."

"That's right. The Vice Admiral's ship has already started repairs and will be completed within a week."

Sora and Pai boarded the boat, Bogart stepped forward, and the ecology was as indifferent as everyone else.

"Song, Lieutenant General asked me to bring you a message."

"Sir Bogart said it's okay."

"Well... the Lieutenant General said that the Red Earth Continent here is the area where the Celestial Dragons live, not Malinfando. Although it is okay for you to pass by with the pass documents, you should not cause too many conflicts with them."

Sora laughed.

"Don't worry, although I usually use warships to go to windless areas when I go out, I have followed our old man through the Red Earth Continent several times before. I understand what the Tianlong people are like, and I am still mentally prepared for this."

"No, it's different this time. The lord of the Red Earth Continent here is Lord Bukar. He... He has some special fetishes for children. Paimon... it's better to wear a cloak."

Almost instantly, Sora's fists clenched subconsciously.

Bogart frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Just remember your identity. Even the Warring States Marshal has nothing to do against the Tianlong people."

Sora smiled.

"Don't worry, I know it well, and it's so big up there. We're just passing by, so we may not encounter it. Paimon will hide it for her."

"Um..."

After saying that, Sora lowered the single sail on the boat.

"Okay, Chief Bogart, Sergeant Dusky, and Brother Smoker, there's no need to send them off, I'm going to set off."

"Bon Voyage!"

The sea breeze blew the sails, carrying the boat farther and farther. After it was far away from the port, Kong got into the cabin.

"Sora, come on, this pear is so sweet!"

Paimon inside has already begun to build. She has such a small body, and I don’t know why she eats so much. She feels like she is comparable to Luffy.

"Well, eat more if it tastes good."

Paimon sensed that Sora was worried and handed him a pear as big as her face.

"Sora, what's wrong with you? What did they say to you?"

Sora thought for a while.

"Paimon, don't follow me this time."

"Huh!? Why! Is it because I can eat too much? I... can I eat less next time?"

Looking at Paimeng's aggrieved face, Kong pinched it lovingly.

"Yeah! Don't pinch! Otherwise, you won't grow taller!"

"I haven't seen you grow taller in the past four years, and you still eat so much."

"That's very rude of you! Sora, why don't you let me follow you... We've always been inseparable!"

Sora said.

"Because I need a capable assistant to help. You see, Kaiya doesn't know how to manage money, and neither does Lei Ze. Lisa's vision is too high. I'm afraid that she spends money lavishly. I want to find someone I trust most to help me." Well, if you don’t want to, then forget it.”

Paimeng's eyes lit up when he heard about managing money.

"No no! You must leave such a difficult task to me! I am the best at managing money!"

"Huh? But you just said you were inseparable from me."

Paimon was a little embarrassed.

"Oh... I'm your best friend, shouldn't I do this kind of thing? Sora~ just let me do it!"

"Okay, let you go. When we get to the Grand Line, I will pick you up, okay?"

"Yeah! It's a deal! Let's do Gou Gou!"

"Come on, hang yourself on a hook, and you won't be allowed to change for 100 years!"

Seeing Paimon happily agreeing, Kong was relieved.

As a time traveler, he understood that Bogart's words had set a flag. If he took Paimon to the Red Earth Continent, he would 100% encounter something bad.

Therefore, he decided to nip the incident in the bud.

This is just like the beginning of a horror movie. If the protagonists had listened to the advice, maybe there would be nothing going on.

And similar things have happened before. When he encountered some very dark events in the past, Kong would use various methods to get rid of Paimon. Although he knew that Paimon was not simple, he just didn't want Paimon to experience these things himself. Dark, it was completely different for him to convey those things and for Paimon to see them with his own eyes.

He is an ordinary person who can survive in this world. Paimon is the light that protects the bottom line in his heart.

"Hey, but Kaia and the others are still in Rogge Town?"

Kong opened the cabin window.

"They are here."

"Eh!?"

On the sea outside, a 30-meter-class two-masted ship was sailing towards this side. At the same time, a blue flag was fluttering on the top of the mast.

"Oh my God! That's Mondstadt's flag!"

Sora was a little emotional.

"That guy Kaia...is he going to restore his country in the pirate world?"

The big ship approached, and the crew on it were all Qiuqiu people, and there was even a charming woman wearing a purple robe. This was none other than the magician Lei Ying of the Fools.

"Hey! Boss!!"

Kaia grabbed a rope and swung down like a pirate, landing on the boat.

"How's it going? Is this Zephyr Guardian good?"

"Okay, you can actually build such a big ship in such a short time, that's amazing!"

Kaia stopped.

"Luckily, there happens to be such a ship at the dock in Rogge Town. The strength and size of this ship are enough to pass through the Upside Down Mountain you mentioned."

"Thank you for your hard work. Where are Lei Ze and Miss Lisa?"

Kaia sighed.

"Miss Lisa... Anyway, I'm very sleepy after coming out of Rogge Town. I'm still resting in the room right now. Lei Ze is guarding the door. The master and apprentice are amazing... Fortunately, there are Qiuqiu people and that one. Thunder Ying Warlock helps, and Wind Slime provides power, otherwise I really can’t handle this ship.”

Kong raised his head and looked at Warlock Lei Ying who was measuring the weather on the bow of the ship.

"How do you feel about the strength of this warlock Lei Ying?"

"Qiang, a little worse than us, and most importantly, they know a lot of knowledge, especially navigation... Gee, I have to say, their training in Winter Country is really all-round."

Sora patted Kaia.

"Okay, this is not Teyvat. The grievances between Solstice Kingdom and Mondstadt can be put aside. Here, everyone is a family."

"Hahaha, yes, by the way, you summoned us to wait for you here. What's the matter?"

Sora took out a notebook from his backpack.

"This is my plan. After passing through Upside Down Mountain, you will see a lighthouse. There is an old man and a whale. But don't disturb them. I will send you all the tranquilizers and extra supplies that I asked you to help purchase. give them."

"Old man? Is he your elder, boss?"

Sora shook his head.

"No, but he is a person with a deep background. In short, even if you don't get favor, you can't make enemies. If he asks who gave it to you, tell the truth, but don't mention my name. We can't be exposed at this stage. Relationship."

"I get it, I'll take care of it."

"Well, then after you pass the lighthouse, you return to a place called the Whiskey Islands, where pirate hunters gather. They are responsible for intercepting pirates coming to the Grand Line. You will develop the first place there. It’s a stronghold, don’t be too showy, my plan includes instructions on how to operate it, and once it’s stable, I’ll continue to advance toward Alabasta step by step, and we’ll meet there.”

The notes in Kong's hand were written by him who stayed up late at night. Of course, he had already put all the blame for these plans on Long in his heart. At this moment, he didn't have any psychological burden in his heart.

Kaia looked through the notes and admired.

"It's amazing...As expected of the boss, this million-member Presbyterian Church was investigated in such detail."

Sora had nothing to explain, and he would have to wait until he arrived in Alabasta to do the rest.

"That's enough. By the way, Paimon is also left to you."

Paimon put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

"Humph! I'm here to take care of the accounts!"

"Uh... Accountant?"

Kaia didn't understand very well. As a dependent, he knew the relationship between Paimon and Kong. If the two were separated, Kong would be missing the biggest help.

Sora didn't explain much.

"Anyway, I'm leaving it to you, Paimon."

Kaia's mind was quick and she understood the meaning of Kong's words.

"I understand, don't worry! We will definitely protect Paimon!"

"Then we will meet again at the Grand Line."

Paimon followed Kaia aboard the Zephyr Guardian. After Kong watched the ship leave, he turned his attention to the majestic red mountains in the distance.

"Red Earth Continent... Tianlong people... let me see how dark you are..."
