"Woo woo——"
Not long after, a long-shaped object moved swiftly through the crashing waves of the sea, undeterred by the surging water, making a strange sound like a sobbing.
At the very front, there was a large searchlight illuminating the path ahead.
"Sea Train!"
Renedia's eyes almost shone with literal excitement, her head seemed eager to stretch out like her hammer, extending from the ship to the sea train, wishing to investigate thoroughly.
"Go to Water Seven and steal it, if you can learn this technology, that would be ideal," Sage said.
He didn't need to remember these things, with Owl by his side, who was knowledgeable and a big mouth, whatever the World Government understood and was willing to inform its subordinates, he could know.
The people below might not know much intel, but Spandam had plenty...
It's understood that this guy had contact with Water Seven over a decade ago.
A sea train like this, capable of running in such dangerous climates of the Grand Line, with occasional Sea King attacks, certainly requires significant technology.
Laying the track wasn't the most troublesome part; the most trouble was how to make the train run using the tracks. The former Fishman Shipwright, 'Tom', spent ten years to make two trains that could operate, and the track laid took many years, but the connected distance was actually quite short.
The tracks crossed two lines, one at the far left line, another at the second line from the left, and as for the crossed distance...including Water Seven itself, the total was the distance between four Magnetic Field Islands.
On the vast sea, it wasn't very useful; many people still preferred using ships.
After all, just the Grand Line itself is vast, the four Magnetic Field Islands are nothing, as the number of Magnetic Field Islands differs by line, some places have more, some have less.
This line starting from Inverted Mountain had fewer Magnetic Field Islands compared to other lines, the three cities Sage pillaged had plenty of Magnetic Field Islands, storing magnetic power quickly, and using ships for sailing was more convenient.
How long does it take to build ships?
Building railroads takes too long, and this is a sea railroad...
But if learning is indeed necessary, Sage still hoped Renedia could master it.
The climate in the New World is indeed stranger than in the first half, but if they found a good base, perhaps it could be connected later, making it more convenient.
Of course, they must successfully rob it first!
Sage watched the rapidly approaching sea train, already near, curling a sinister grin, stepping forward, causing a circle of airwaves at his feet, swiftly stepping towards the air ahead.
Jabra and the others used Moon Step to follow, along with Sage, stepping in the air, descending towards the fast-moving train.
Boom!
The sky suddenly shot a Thunderbolt, illuminating the surrounding space for an instant.
Just as the Thunderbolt illuminated and faded, the figure that was in the air moments ago now landed on the front carriage of the sea train, standing there, laughing towards the Death Star, "Plan, commence!"
"Move!"
Lily drew the White Thunder, pointing towards Water Seven, "Weigh anchor, set sail, circle around Water Seven, waiting for Sage's signal."
For this division of forces, Sage also carried a Radio Snail. Once the Enies Lobby incident began, he would notify Lily and the others to start the operation.
"Hohohoho! Next, just wait to arrive at Enies Lobby!"
Sage laughed boisterously, ignoring Jabra who landed on the fourth carriage, he leaped to the connection between the carriages, casually opened the door, in that empty carriage, under the shocked gaze of the only seated mature black-haired woman, he greeted her.
"Haven't seen you for a while, Nico Robin."
"You..."
Robin's eyes widened instantly, standing abruptly, instinctively breaking into cold sweat, "Sage! Why are you here!"
"Of course, my aim is the same as yours."
Sage bypassed the empty seats and sat next to Robin, leaning comfortably, "This sofa's material is not bad, truly a renowned sea train, all are quality items."
"Don't joke around, Sage!"
Robin exclaimed excitedly, "I don't care what your aim is, leave immediately, I can do it alone, the World Government doesn't need two O'hara survivors! You haven't experienced the terror of the World Government yet, it'll make you despair, Sage!"
"Despair?"
Sage scoffed with a laugh, "Sorry, I truly don't understand what despair means—if one is alive, there's always hope in my eyes!"
As long as he is alive, he will persist, unwaveringly achieving his aim!
Nothing can make him despair, he had failed so many times, if he had a heart of despair, he wouldn't have made it to the sea, he would've starved before setting sail.
"You also..."
Robin misunderstood, pausing for a moment, then sat back dispiritedly, losing the sparkle in her eyes, "Were you threatened too? For your comrades... you sacrificed yourself. Indeed, as fellow O'hara survivors, we aren't accepted by the World Government."
"What are you babbling about? What comrades? It's always my subordinates sacrificing for me, when did it become my turn to sacrifice for them?"
