Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

Seeing that Laboon's injuries were improving, Crocus suddenly turned and walked towards his cabin, returning shortly afterward with a round ball in his hands.

The sphere was about the size of a child's fist, with a thin silver pointer embedded inside, swaying slightly as if drawn by an invisible force.

"I picked this up from a wrecked pirate ship a few days ago."

Crocus handed the Log Pose to Shiraha, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "This is the Log Pose from the Grand Line."

The Log Pose is an essential tool for navigating the Grand Line, as the magnetic fields of the islands on the Grand Line are chaotic, rendering ordinary compasses completely ineffective. It has become the only reliable tool for pirates and explorers to determine their direction.

The so-called recording pointer senses and stores the unique magnetism of each island. Once the magnetism is full, the pointer will automatically point to the next island. If the pointer lands on another island before reaching the target island, the magnetism will be forcibly replaced.

The duration varies depending on the island's magnetic field strength, and can be as short as a few hours.

- It's also worth mentioning that the regular save point is for Paradise, which is the first half of the Grand Line. It's a single pointer that reliably points to the only target island.

-The New World Record Post after arriving in the New World has three pointers, each pointing to one of the three islands. The more violently the pointers shake, the higher the danger in that direction, and the navigator must judge and choose the route.

Bai Yu reached out and took it. The moment his fingertips touched the pointer, the silver needle suddenly trembled violently, then abruptly pointed southeast. A faint blue light shone from the tip of the pointer, particularly striking in the sunlight.

"Oh? It's the route I've taken before."

Crocus raised an eyebrow: "I've guarded Twin Gorges for so many years and have had my share of great journeys. I didn't expect your route to be the same."

Crocus glanced at Nico Robin: "That's right, you have historians who can understand the existence of the Poneglyphs, so you should take this route."

Bai Yu gripped the record pointer in his hand, feeling a faint magnetic force emanating from it. That force was pulling him toward the next island.

He looked up at the people around him. Retsu Unohana had already come over and was curiously examining the pointer: "This little thing is interesting. It's even rarer than the Spirit Compass in our Soul Society."

Then Unohana hugged Kanna back into her arms. The little girl was tugging at her sleeve, her head close to the pointer, her round eyes full of curiosity. She reached out to touch the record pointer, but Unohana gently pressed her hand down: "Kanna-chan, this isn't fun."

Robin stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking thoughtful, and then said, "I see, so this route contains Poneglyphs."

"Old man, you know this too. It seems you're not just an ordinary person."

Crocus, watching this scene, suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing along the shore: "Alright, I've said what I needed to say and given what I needed to give. The storms of the Grand Line aren't so easy to navigate."

He turned and walked towards the cabin, waving goodbye to the crowd as he walked away: "Remember your promise to Labu! Come back alive!"

Bai Yu watched Crocus's retreating figure, then glanced down at the Log Pose in his arms. He raised his hand, held the Pose high, and pointed it towards the sea: "Set sail! Target: the direction the Log Pose is pointing!"

"oh!"

A cheer erupted on the deck, and the puppets immediately busied themselves, hoisting the sails and adjusting the rudder.

The sea breeze billowed the sails, making a rustling sound. Laboo let out a long cry from beneath the surface of the sea, its huge head poking out of the water and waving its tail in the direction the ship had gone, as if bidding farewell.

Bai Yu stood at the bow of the ship, letting the sea breeze flutter his clothes, the pointer of the recorder in his hand steadily pointing southeast.

Beside him, Unohana leaned in gently, her shoulder lightly touching his, her voice soft: "Now it's up to the captain."

As the ship gradually sailed away from Twin Gorges, the shadow of Upside Down Mountain grew smaller and smaller, and the cries of the rabbit gradually dissipated in the sea breeze.

Only the pointer in their hands guided them.

The sails billowed in the sea breeze as Uchiha Hakuba leaned against the gunwale, his gaze sweeping across the undulating sea.

Behind her, the laughter of several girls rose and fell with the waves. Rangiku held a shallow cup, imprinted with her soul, her profile bathed in a cool, soft light under the sun.

Connor squatted at the stern, his tail tip gently patting the deck, while he ate the dessert that Bai Yu had bought for him.

On the first day of sailing out to sea from Twin Gorges, the warm breeze even carried the fragrance of flowers, as if springtime was still lingering.

Large swaths of pink and white cherry blossom petals floated on the sea, blown by the wind from a cherry grove on some unknown island.

Connor even reached out curiously to scoop it up, and the petals clung to her fair fingertips. She brought them to her nose and inhaled the fragrance, which made her eyes crinkle into crescents.

Robin simply took off her shoes and stepped barefoot onto the warm deck. Her skirt was lifted by the wind, revealing her slender ankles. Her legs were simply too beautiful.

It wasn't until the next morning, when everyone was awakened by the scorching heat, that they realized the ship had sailed into the height of summer.

The sun was scorching and dazzling, the sea surface shimmered with golden light, and the air was filled with the salty, hot steam from the evaporating seawater.

Rangiku had to change into a sundress early on. Her fair skin was flushed with a faint blush from the sun. She huddled under the sunshade with an iced juice in her arms, complaining about the awful weather from time to time.

Captain Unohana, on the other hand, simply took off her outer robe, leaving only a close-fitting outfit that outlined her smooth shoulder and neck lines and taut waist and abdomen. After taking off her outer robe, she also had a bust that would make any woman envious; that fair and full bust, that amazing charm of a mature woman, was somewhat intoxicating.

She stood at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance against the heatwave. Beads of sweat slid down her chin and into her collar, causing Bai Yu's Adam's apple to bob slightly.

Robin was particularly envious of Unohana swimming in the sea, as she and Shiraha, having eaten a Devil Fruit, were destined not to be able to swim freely in the sea.

However, the change came unexpectedly. On the evening of the third day, a bleak autumn wind swept across the sea, and the temperature plummeted.

Robin had already wrapped her coat tighter, but she still couldn't help shivering and quickly snatched Connor from Captain Unohana's arms.

The dragon's body temperature was as warm as a small stove, which made Robin sigh comfortably.

Rangiku, standing to the side, gathered her long, wind-blown golden hair, her gaze fixed on the sea, and couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictable weather.

"Are we heading to the Grand Line already? Isn't this weather change a bit too sudden?"
