The remains of a pirate ship were burning furiously as Noir and Ace stood at the entrance of the Baratie Restaurant.

The noise from the Fire Fist had alarmed the chefs inside, who all rushed out.

Several rowdy chefs with rolling pins and sticks came out aggressively, ready for a brawl.

The Baratie Restaurant was built on the sea, and countless pirates coveted it every month, so these chefs were no strangers to fighting.

But as soon as they stepped outside, they were stunned.

Sanji and Zeff were shivering in a corner, while Ace and Noir were excitedly saying something like "Am I awesome? "You're super awesome."

More importantly, a thick column of smoke rose in the distance, with pieces of ships floating on the water.

Was the battle over?

Shouldn't pirates these days at least laugh a few times out of respect, make a threat, and exchange a few harsh words before drawing their swords for a fight?

You're not following protocol!

Satisfied, Ace patted his stomach and said to Noir, "I'm full. Shall we go?"

Noir nodded and said goodbye to Zeff and the others, "Thank you, chef. We're leaving."

Sanji, coming out of the shock of the fire fist, asked quickly, "Leaving? Are you pirates?"

Ace replied with a proud smile, "Of course! We are..."

"You are pirates," Noir interrupted Ace, "I am a bounty hunter who captures pirates."

The cooks' expressions suddenly became strange.

A bounty hunter on the same ship as pirates?

Is this some kind of game?

Ace didn't mind Noir's words and bowed happily to the cooks, and then Noir tossed them a whole bag of berries - the payment for the meal.

Noir spoke meaningfully to Sanji, "My name is Noir, and this is Ace. Perhaps we will meet again sometime."

Noir and Ace jumped aboard their ship, hoisted the anchor, and set sail again, leaving the cooks in a daze.

These were definitely the most unusual guests they had ever served.

They ate like a bunch of animals, but one of them had incredible culinary skills.

They were also formidable fighters.

Sanji, holding the bag of berries, looked at the departing ship with a complex expression and murmured, "Are they heading for the Grand Line as well?"

Zeff stroked his beard and said, "With such strength, they should be rare even on the Grand Line.

Hearing this, Sanji couldn't help but clench his fists and silently resolve to become stronger.

Sanji, you must strive to become stronger!

The lifelong dream he shared with the old man, the wondrous All Blue Sea, might be on the Grand Line!

...

Back on the ship, Noir picked up the map again and thought about the next part of their journey.

Ace, energized after his meal, pointed to the vast sea ahead and shouted, "Set sail! To the Grand Line!"

Watching the enthusiastic Ace, Noir couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "Before we enter the Grand Line, we must first go to Loguetown.

Loguetown?

Hearing the name of this city, Ace's smile slowly faded.

At the mention of Loguetown, he thought of the name he had loathed since childhood - Gol D. Roger, his biological father.

The birthplace and deathplace of the pirate king Roger, known as the "City of Beginning and End".

Ace, a bit grumpy, asked, "Why do we have to go there?"

Understanding his feelings, Noir explained, "To get you a new ship, of course. Do you expect me to go with you all the time?"

Ace, pouting, muttered quietly, "Not that I would mind..."

Noir gave him a look and said, "There's actually something more important."

"We need to find a Log Pose."

"A Log Pose?" Ace asked, confused.

"A navigational compass? Don't we already have one?"

Noir shook his head and was about to explain when Mihar, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "I've heard of it."

"I've heard that the Grand Line has complex and ever-changing weather, making it difficult to determine direction. Ordinary compasses are useless; only special Log Poses can guide the way."

Surprised, Noir looked at Mihar, who had spoken at length.

He was right. In the original story, Luffy's crew had recklessly entered the Grand Line without even a Log Pose. Noir didn't want to make the same mistake.

Stretching out comfortably, Noir said, "Loguetown, being the gateway from East Blue to the Grand Line, should have both ships and Log Poses.

Considering the importance of the Grand Line adventure, Ace had no choice but to agree with Noir's plan.

...

Loguetown.

People walked the streets with smiles on their faces, merchants shouted and citizens haggled, creating a lively atmosphere.

In the shadows, some individuals, their faces well hidden, moved cautiously.

Marine patrols could often be seen in the streets, moving in orderly groups.

It wasn't long before the Navy would drag out pirates hiding in the darkness, those who had secretly come ashore.

The townspeople lived in harmony, and the pirates behaved themselves under the watchful eye of the Marine, fearing detection and capture.

Compared to other islands and towns in East Blue, Loguetown's security was much better.

Residents knew it was all thanks to the local Marine captain stationed here a few years ago, known as "Smoker the White Hunter."

Like a guillotine, Smoker guarded the entrance to Loguetown, greatly reducing the number of pirates who dared to enter the Grand Line.

At the Marine base, the door to a smoky office was opened by a Marine soldier who saluted, looked at his superior with admiration, and said, "Captain Smoker, the new batch of pirate bounties from East Blue has been issued."

Smoker, two cigars in his mouth, looked down with a calm voice, "Got it."

Casually flipping through the bounty posters, the soldier continued, "The East Blue branch mentioned a pirate named Ace who hasn't been defeated since he set sail, but his crew is only four, so there's no bounty on him yet."

Smoker raised an eyebrow and said, "Ace? A pirate crew of four is nothing special."

The soldier hesitated and said, "But... it seems that the one known as the strongest pirate hunter in East Blue, Noir, has also joined his crew..."

Smoker sneered, "A pirate hunter? Just a bunch of desperate dogs chasing after bounties. The so-called strongest in East Blue?"

"Hmph!"

"As long as I'm in Loguetown, no pirate will leave here unscathed!"
