At the entrance to the Great Route, this is the starting point of the world's greatest ocean, where people from the four seas will begin their adventures. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Rush!" Luffy, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, shouted excitedly from the rising upside-down current to the swooping current.
"Hey, did you hear anything?" said Zoro suddenly.
"It can't be the wind, is it, because there's a lot of strange terrain here!" Nami said, enjoying the sea breeze.
"Miss Nami, find a mountain in front of you. Sanji, who was serving as a temporary lookout, suddenly shouted.
"No way, after the Twin Gorges, there should be an endless ocean!" retorted Kerra, although she had never been to Mount Lihuas, she had never heard of a mountain ahead, and there was no mountain on the chart.
"That's not a mountain, it's a whale!" William hurriedly shouted. Only then did he suddenly realize that some things would not change because of the butterfly effect of his arrival, such as the heart knot of the giant whale in front of him.
"That's the island whale, the largest whale species in the world!" Kerra explained in a panic.
"What should I do, if I go on like this, I'll bump into it, and you can go around it on the left. Zoro noticed that there was enough gap on the left side of the island whale for the Golden Merry to pass through, and hurriedly shouted to everyone.
"But the rudder is broken!" said the sisters, scared. Now they regret very much that they entered the great voyage with the Straw Hats, and this is only the first day of walking together, which is already so thrilling.
"Hurry up and find a way!" Arrita also began to get anxious, if she collided directly, it would definitely be the rhythm of the ship's destruction and death.
"I've got a great idea!" Luffy suddenly had an idea and rushed into the cabin excitedly.
"Luffy, what do you want to do?" Everyone felt uneasy when they heard that Luffy seemed to have thought of some good idea, after all, Luffy had never come up with any serious attention.
The bow cannon of the Golden Merry suddenly fired a cannon and ejected it.
"Cannon?" At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Luffy's so-called attention turned out to be this, but the ship seemed to be slowing down.
"Okay, has the ship stopped?" Luffy, who had completely failed to think about the consequences, was rejoicing at his "genius idea". However, all the people on the ship, including William and Kella, were all frightened and turned pale.
A cracking sound sounded, and Luffy's first-class seat, the sheep's head of the Golden Merry, was knocked off due to the ship's inertia.
"Huh, my first-class seat!" Luffy shouted as if he had lost his soul.
"What's going on? didn't you notice that we were firing?" asked Usopp as he barely got up.
"Maybe it's too sluggish!" Noqigao can only be explained by the huge unresponsiveness of the island whale's body, otherwise why would it not react after a cannon?
"Anyway, now, run away!" William hurriedly shouted. If they are swallowed by the island whale in their stomachs, they will not die immediately, but they will face stomach acid.
"Row now, get out of here!" Zoro and Sanji immediately found the oars and prepared to row away from the dangerous whale with all their might, but Luffy seemed to instinctively let them get their wish.
"You actually ~ broke my first-class seat~ " An angry Luffy actually hit the huge eye of the island whale with a rubber gun. The eyes are the most sensitive organs of animals, and after being punched by Luffy like this, even the most unresponsive animals know that they have been attacked.
"Idiot!" Faced with Luffy's idiotic behavior, everyone kicked over one by one. I've seen my teammates but I've never seen such an idiot with my teammates, this is the rhythm of pulling everyone to die together.
"It's noticed us, what should we do?" Seeing the eyes of the island whale watching them, the Straw Hats didn't know what to do for a while.
"Let's go it alone, bastard!" Luffy stood up and said angrily, he didn't notice the panicked expression of his partner behind him at this time, and he actually had to find the island whale to fight, saying that the entire Golden Merry was not enough for people to stuff their teeth.
"Shut up, idiot!" William finally couldn't help but knock Luffy unconscious with his fist containing armed color, if he continued to mess around, the entire ship's partners would die without a place to be buried.
"It's going to be eaten!" the island whale suddenly opened its mouth, apparently a little unhappy with Luffy's previous behavior. The tiny Golden Merry was swept into the mouth of the island whale along the water, and then swallowed by the island whale.
This is the stomach of Rab the island whale, but here there is a bright sky and a calm sea.
"Is this a dream?" said Arrita, looking at the blue sky and white clouds overhead, with some disbelief.
"Probably a dream, right?" Even Usopp, who was lying, couldn't believe the facts in front of him, and the others couldn't believe it.
"Didn't we swallow the whale in the stomach?" Zoro was also curious about why such a strange place appeared after being swallowed by the whale.
"The sky is fake, and the sea is gastric juice!" said William, as if he had just discovered something. Of course, William can't say that he already knew, but knowing that this is there doesn't mean that they are not in danger, especially since they are sailing on gastric juice now, and the ship will be overwhelmed sooner or later.
"So we're still in the whale's stomach!" The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, but they found that they were now faced with the question of how to get out of here.
"Then why is there an island there?" asked Usopp, pointing to a small island not far ahead.
"Who knows!" William couldn't explain for a while, the question of the sky and the sea could be found by looking closely, but what to tell everyone about that island?
"It's the Squid King!" a giant squid about the size of the Golden Merry suddenly appeared, apparently one of the sea creatures that had been swallowed by the island whale before.
"Thousand Watts Fist!" Kerra didn't hesitate to use the fishman karate punch to knock out the squid king.
"Hmm, it's the same move as the Fishman?" said Sanji thoughtfully, when he faced the dragon gang before, he had fought against a Fishman karate master, so the image was profound.
"Kella is the acting master of Fishman Karate!" William said that after telling Kerra's profession, in order to give Sanji the motivation to cultivate, he deliberately stimulated and said: "Next time you want to be a hero and save the beauty, you still have to practice more!"
"I've had enough, I want to go home!" Sister Flower was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted. It's an island whale again, and it's a squid king, and I don't know what monsters I'll face next.
"Me too!" Nami said with a sigh of relief. And Nokigao, who was very frightened, hugged Nami, who was scared, and tried to reassure both of them.
"Is this the terrible thing about the Great Voyage?" Arrita, who was a pirate captain, did not have a good face at this time, and the continuous thrills made her unheard of.
"Someone's coming out!" said Kerra. Kella, who had lived on the Great Voyage herself, had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and this level of danger was not enough to frighten her, but she still watched her surroundings with great vigilance. What made her wonder was that William actually reacted in a similar shock as the others, what was going on?
Although the original Colonel William was also born in the Great Voyage, it was the first time that William had faced such a scene. Even Sanji, who had been to the Great Voyage when he was a child, was not just frightened at this time.
"You say a human thing, bastard old man!" Sanji shouted loudly when he found that the person who had come sat down to read the newspaper without saying a word.
"If there's going to be a fight, we'll be with you, we'll have cannons!" shouted the calm Usopp with great momentum, but it would have been more convincing if his feet hadn't trembled.
"You'd better forget it! After waiting for a while, the strangely dressed old man on the island finally spoke, but his eyes were still on the newspaper, ignoring the existence of the Straw Hats.
"Who are you talking about dying?" asked Sanji, who felt threatened, very unceremoniously.
"It's me!" Faced with the old man's frank and straightforward answer, everyone was very angry.
"Let me ask!" William stopped the angry Sanji and asked politely, "Uncle, tell us who you are?"
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking people questions?" But before the old man could start to introduce himself, he spoke first: "My name is Cola Cass, I am the caretaker of the Twin Gorge Lighthouse, 71 years old this year, Gemini, AB blood type!"
"I want to kill this old man!" said William, who felt that he had been tricked by Coke Cass, with a gloomy face.
"Forget it, calm down!" said Sanji, who had already extinguished the fire.
