Chapter 1294: Arrival
Although Pica didn't know the way to Dress Rose, after a short negotiation, Su Xiao officially joined the Quixote family.
[

Main Mission / Rank Up Mission: Arrival (second stage).
Difficulty Level: Level 15.
Description: Return to Dress Rose Island.
Lead time: 5 days.
Reward for completing: 1 free point of true stats.
Task Failure Penalty: Instant Execution.
After familiarizing himself with the second stage, Su Xiao vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't a good sign that the next task was easier than the first one.
And it became easier given the fact that completing these missions directly affected the increase in rank. Everyone knew how dangerous the New World was. If the first two tasks are so simple, then the difficulty of the last two will obviously be too high.
But although the second stage was quite simple to complete, in Su Xiao's situation, it was mostly a matter of luck.
The most frustrating part was that most of the items that could direct them simply didn't work in the New World territory. For any compass to work in this place, it would have to be at least dark purple or even pale gold in quality.
Without such a thing, Su Xiao would obviously just wander around in the sea. Pica, an experienced pirate that he had high hopes for, also didn't know where they needed to go.
Sensing the absurdity of the situation, Pica calmly sat down on the ice. — It's not a problem, I've already drifted in the sea twice, " and after saying that, he began to eat calmly, looking rather relaxed.
— Oh? And how did you survive?
— I can ignore hunger for a long time.
— … — Su Xiao didn't comment on Pica's response in any way.
But he couldn't sit idly by. If he didn't reach Dress Rose Island in five days, his journey in this world would end there.
Of course, he wouldn't die since he was still immune to one penalty, but Su Xiao didn't want to miss out on the opportunities that lurked in this world. There were many famous swords, good skills, and Devil Fruits that would not give him strength, but would allow him to sell them for a high price. Moreover, he was very interested in Haki Armament Haki Surveillance.
With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to get two Hacks at once, but it wasn't something impossible.
He was very optimistic about Armament Hacks and Surveillance Hacks. The Armament haki was good in itself, and the Observation Haki he would be able to integrate into his intuition.
The strongest part of his intuition was that it could integrate various perception skills. Sha, who had taught Su Xiao intuition, managed to combine a huge number of different perception skills into one whole.
Once other perceptual skills are integrated into your intuition, it will not immediately become completely different, but it can become much better. If he can add Observation Hacks to his intuition, it can definitely lead to a rather interesting result..
The floe floated slowly across the sea.
Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't wait for some ship to sail past them.
He'd rather do something himself than wait for a miracle.
What was the most common thing in the New World? The answer is pirates.
Su Xiao took out an arm-thick iron pipe from his inventory, fixed it on the ice floe, and pressed the button.
A red ball rumbled out of the iron pipe. After flying 300 meters into the sky, it exploded, forming a large cloud of red mist.
This red mist was created from a special chemical material, so it will not dissipate for some time.
Seeing the red spot in the sky, Pika's eyes glittered.
He understood what Su Xiao wanted to achieve.
Five hours later, the ice floe was very quiet. Pica was sitting cross-legged on the ice like an old monk, and Su Xiao would take out a new pipe once in a while and activate it.
Yellow, red, orange, and green fog has already appeared in the sky. Su Xiao tried all the colors, but not a single ship came to them.
Although no one swam to them, Su Xiao didn't give up. He didn't believe that the pirates would be able to suppress their curiosity. All pirates craved freedom and loved to explore the unknown, and the colorful clouds in the sky were definitely a rare sight.
Just as Su Xiao was about to launch a new signal flare, a black spot appeared in the distance.
It was a ship!
When Su Xiao saw the ship, he jumped into the sea and disappeared from the Peak's sight.
Half a kilometer away from the ice floe, a medium-sized ship was floating on the sea. It was a merchant ship that carried various kinds of food, wine, and so on.
A normal merchant ship would definitely be destroyed if it dared to transport goods across the New World, but this ship's sail had a smiling skull on it. Behind the skull were two white vertical crossbones, and the most distinctive feature of this skull was a very large blond mustache in the shape of a crescent moon.
And this merchant ship wasn't attracted by the flares. They sailed on their own course.
— Captain, there's something ahead! A sailor with a flintlock gun on his belt shouted to the merchant ship's captain.
The captain was a one-eyed middle-aged man. He took the monocular from his belt and looked out into the distance.
— Is that ... ice? The one-eyed captain muttered as he saw the ice in the distance and felt something amiss.
*Ding!*
Sawdust flew in all directions when a hook with thread was attached to the mast of the ship.
A sharp sound came from the water, and before the one-eyed captain and the sailors could react, a drenched figure had already appeared on the deck.
— Who is it? The young sailor shouted, his voice rising slightly due to nervousness.
— Whitebeard's ship, " Su Xiao muttered when he saw the logo on the sail.
It had a strong deterrent effect in the New World.
— That's right, " the one-eyed captain replied, puffing out his chest and raising his hand to signal the sailors not to act rashly.
— How far are we from Dress Rose? Su Xiao asked as he handed the thread back. He wasn't going to rob this ship, and he didn't really care whose ship it was. He just wanted to be taken to Dress Rosa.
— About a few hours away, " the one-eyed captain replied, feeling relieved. With the help of his many years of swimming experience, he was able to roughly assess the current situation.
— Take me to the Dress Rose, tell me the price right away.
— Don't worry about it, we'll still pass through the waters near Dress Rose, " the one — eyed captain replied. He realized that dealing with Su Xiao wasn't easy, so he decided to go meet him.
Choosing between a good attitude and a bad one, he obviously decided to choose the first option.
A few minutes later, the merchant ship approached the ice floe, and Bubtni, Amu, and Pica boarded.
Seeing the Pike, the one-eyed captain was clearly distressed. He realized that Su Xiao was a pirate, but he didn't expect that he came from a large pirate group.
But he was experienced in such matters, so he didn't say anything to Su Xiao, and only told his men to head straight to Dress Rosa.
After about four hours, an island surrounded by huge rocks appeared in Su Xiao's field of vision.
They arrived at Dress Rosa.
