Chapter 16: Zero-Tails
The next day, the group packed up again and resumed their journey.
Jiraiya-sensei seemed to have recovered from last night's blow as well.
He kept comforting himself. Two little brats... so what if they've got talent? Their emotional experience can't compare to this great literary master!
Just then, rumbling sounds suddenly came from not far away.
Everyone's gaze simultaneously focused in one direction.
"So huge..."

At the same time, Calamity Fire can promptly heal his injuries, preventing him from actually dying from the...

Sea Circle Calendar 1464.
First half of the Grand Line.
"Ptui ptui ptui."
A disheveled young man looking like a complete savage sat on a deserted island grilling fish, but after just one bite, he couldn't help spitting it out.

But no matter how terrible this sea fish tasted, if he didn't fill his stomach, he couldn't swim to the next island or find human set...

Another new year. Now it was January of Sea Circle Calendar 1464.
More than half a year had passed since the battle at the Holy Land of Mariejois in the blink of an eye.
Half a year had also passed since Rocks left.
During this half year, Silas hadn't received any information about Rocks. As if he'd suddenly vanished.
But Silas wouldn't worry about a brat who left on his own. After all, he had great pirate-level stren...

Rona saw through Tsuru being an undercover agent at first glance.
Not that Tsuru had revealed any flaws, but Rona remembered her.
Both female Marines. Both are quite beautiful.

So even Marine Chief of Staff Portman Nisen never imagined that Marine Admiral Rona would notice an inconspicuous new recruit.
But Rona knew Tsuru. Tsuru didn't know Rona had seen through her.

Rocks's assessment of Ripley was actually wrong.
He thought Ripley was a combatant, but in Silas's mind, her abilities leaned more toward logistics management.
Ripley had obviously realized this too.
Since her Haki and physical training weren't progressing smoothly, she'd gradually begun focusing on developing her fruit ability.
This wasn't a problem.

But actually, the three's relationship was quite ordinary.

In a thatched cottage filled with herbal scents, a white-haired, robust old Hobbit woman gripped Aedric's arm tightly, carefully examining the savage wound that showed dark bluish discoloration.

Weaving an invisibility cloak is a major undertaking.
The entire cloak needs to be woven inch by inch by hand, without relying on magical means for weaving.
On one hand, spellcasting would affect the cloak's magical stability. On the other hand, weaving is extremely delicate work. When creating something like an invisibility cloak, it requires extreme precision with not the slightest deviation. Magical weaving can hardly achieve...

Only then did she discover the magical barrier provided 360-degree defense without blind spots.
Seeing this, Shelob stopped attacking and instead spat spider silk at the magical barrier. Using her front limbs to lift Kael, who was protected by the barrier, she directly wrapped and covered him with spider silk.

Seeing Kael draw the last red-headed arrow, the orcs instantly fell silent. They held their breath carefully and became even more cautious.
Orcs respected strength above all. They deeply feared that Kael, having drawn the red arrow, might fly into a rage and take it out on them.
But to the orcs' relief, Kael showed no expression on his face and directly announced, "Well, since I drew it, I'll go deliver it with that guy!"

Logically speaking, elves were more accustomed to quiet and peaceful environments. They didn't like entering bustling markets or crowded places.
