Chapter 311: Swimming Against the Current!
โ... Crashing into the rock walls of the Red Earth... If the hull of the ship is shattered, we will also be buried at the bottom of the sea with people and the ship!"
"Understood?"
Nami looked up and said with a serious face.
As if thinking of the picture of broken bones, even Usopp, who had been making a fuss just now, quieted down, and this atmosphere lasted for about less than a minute, and Luffy spoke first:
"I see, I see..."
"It's an incredible mountain!
Luffy smiled awkwardly, his shoulders shrugged, Nami looked at it, and waved her hand helplessly, "Ah~ah! Anyway, you won't understand, just leave it to me when the time comes!"
There was a glimmer in Nami's eyes, which was the confidence of a navigator.
"In shortโโ! now the Merry should have taken the current, and then, as long as the helm is in place, it can rush to the top of the upside-down mountain in one go!"
Sanji: "Miss Nami is so good?!!"
Zoro: "I've never heard of climbing mountains in a boat. โ
"I've heard!" Sanji smiled and flicked the butt of his cigarette, "Those who go to the Great Voyage will be half dead before they go in, so that's what happened." โ
"Is !!it so scary?"
Usopp and Luffy shouted at the same time, one excited, the other scared.
"Hmph!" Sanji snorted lightly and nodded, "Do you think it's a child's house, since you have decided to go, you must be ready to die!"
...
"Sanji, I'll leave the helm to you!"
In the rain, a girl's voice was heard.
"No problem, Miss Nami!" Sanji nodded enthusiastically and turned his head, "Luffy!
"Eh~~~ Do I want it too, I'm the captain..."
"Stop talking nonsense, come here!"
...
As the rain began to fall, Kirby looked up at the cloudy sky and flew up quietly, knotting the canvas with a rope to keep the hull from swinging.
Nami looked at Kirby floating in the air, and there was a look of yearning in her eyes.
"That's nice... Able to fly in the sky..."
"Well... It's fine."
Kirby didn't deliberately use magic to shield himself from the wind and rain, and after finishing his work, he was already thorough.
"If Nami wants to learn, I can teach you..."
I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I enjoyed letting the rain soak my cheeks, Kirby said with a smile.
No one knows that in the past thousand years, he can only live with his soul, and he can touch anything, but he can't feel the helplessness of any touch.
Perhaps for Kirby, living normally is already a special enjoyment.
"Really! Kirby, you must not lie to me!" Nami's eyes lit up, she had seen too much magic with her own eyes, and compared to Kirby's relaxed tone, the girl's words and deeds were full of yearning.
"Eun, really. Kirby nodded, took the towel from Sanji Xianqin, and wiped his wet hair, Red squinted and dozed off on the side, everything seemed so peaceful.
"Then it's decided, come here, I'm going to pull the hook!"
"Huh... I really won't lie to you... Retractor is such a child's trick... Hmm..."
Kirby glanced at Nami again, as if remembering some special task, her pretty face flushed, lowered her head, and reluctantly, still stretched out her hand.
"Hehe, that's no problem~" Nami smiled like a little girl with candy, sweet.
"I can see the incredible mountain !! !!!"
Luffy suddenly screamed outside the cabin, and everyone looked sideways to find Luffy lying on the mast, holding a straw hat in one hand, and in front of him was a huge mountain, and there was no edge at all at a glance.
"Well... What a big !!."
With just one glance, Usopp's eyes widened.
"How big is that!!"
"The entrance to the Great Voyage," Nami muttered, draped in a hooded raincoat, the water swaying in the translucent muzi.
I saw that in front of the Merry, a huge mountain like a [barrier] suddenly appeared, and the difference was that the whole body of the mountain was red, which seemed to be due to the perennial flooding, and the mountain was covered with various colors of moss, and in the rain curtain, the moss floated on the surface of the water, floating with the turbulent current, like a rootless duckweed.
Like moss, the Golden Merry floated in the vast sea, gradually approaching the mountain.
Everyone looked up, only to see that the red mountain was far away, the top of the mountain reached the clouds, and it was still rising, and the turbulent waves slapped on the red mountain, making a huge sound, but it could not shake it in the slightest.
"See the entrance!" Nami's eyes lit up, and she tightened her hood and pointed to the spot where the water was at its most intense not far ahead.
"Sanji, left full rudder!"
"Yes, Miss Nami! Luffyโโ! you come in and help, bastard!" Sanji first responded with a peach blossom on his face, and immediately changed his face, for beautiful women, Sanji's enthusiasm is always extremely high, and for the captain...
"No! I want to see Upside Down Mountain!" Luffy grimaced at Sanji as he leaned on the high mast.
"Ahhh
"No problem!" Zoro nodded.
At critical moments, unknown swordsmen are always reliable.
...
"Oh! is that the entrance!" Luffy hugged the mast and looked at the waterway with his eyes shining.
The waterway was about ten zhang wide, with plenty of room for the Golden Merry, even for the larger ships, and Sanji and Zoro only changed direction slightly before sailing smoothly into the mouth of the canal.
Sure enough, as indicated on the map, the water here is fast, and because of the torrential rain, it is even more impulsive, and at this time, in the torrential rain, the water in the canal is rushing up the wide river channel and rushing to the top of the mountain.
"Oh oh oh oh oh !!"
Luffy shouted excitedly, and the scenery along the way changed rapidly, and in a short time, he was already on the mountainside.
The Golden Merry plunged into the clouds, and through the mist, everyone's nerves tensed, and the water here was turbulent, and there were many whirlpools of backflow, which could be described as very dangerous, and it was a place of bones for rushing to the great channel.
But fortunately, because of Kirby, relying on spiritual power, Kirby pointed out the direction for everyone very accurately, and the Golden Merry did not hit the reef wall along the coast, through spiritual power, it can be seen that there are many wrecks of ships on the coast, presumably half of the unlucky guys touched the reef here.
Through the clouds, the eyes suddenly opened up, even the sky changed color, the sky was no longer black cumulus clouds overhead, the dazzling morning sun on the horizon emitted a blazing halo, the air became colorful, and even a huge rainbow in the sky could be vaguely seen, as if within reach.
At the bottom of the mountain, there is a sea of clouds, and unlike the dark clouds behind it, the sea leading to the great route is now on a clear day, and the white clouds are like marshmallows, making people want to take a bite when they look at it.
"Uh-oh-oh-oh!!"
Luffy yelled, waving his straw hat desperately, as if he wanted to look down on the whole world.
Ahead is the confluence of the four sea currents, and the four powerful countercurrents collide together, bursting into the sky with white flowers.
This is also the key to entering the great waterway, if you are not careful, do not take the helm well, and accidentally rush into the West Sea, then it is really bitter and unspeakable.
At this moment, the Merry had rushed to the top of the mountain, and if it wanted to enter the great channel that diverted in the middle, it had to turn its rudder to the left, and under Nami's command, Sanji and Zoro kept the rudder against the corner, not letting it shake in the slightest.
Just when everyone's heartstrings were tense, suddenly, there was a strange crisp sound in the cabin!
"Click!"
Rudder... It's broken!
