The three of them looked at the worried Kulokas and didn't even speak for a while, except for the sound of the water, the only thing left for the whale Rab was the roar of hope and longing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The whale, Rab, it said it wanted to see them." Roger put away his usual laughter and said in a trance.

"You're right, this guy, Rab is a whale with human emotions, and then, he's just been waiting for a bunch of pirates for almost twenty years." Kulokas said with emotion.

"Pirates? What kind of pirates? Roger asked.

"Want to know? Then listen to the story about Rab. Kulokas showed a thoughtful look, and then said: "I still remember that it was twenty years ago, I was stationed at the lighthouse as usual, and a group of very bold pirates came from the West Sea, they were the Rumba Pirates, and at that time the young Rab came after them, and the group of pirates had been traveling with Rab, originally they called Rab in the West Sea, but it still had to come with him, you must know that the island whale is a social animal, and Rab has already regarded that group of pirates as a companion, but because the great channel is too dangerous, So the captain asked me to take care of Rab, and he agreed with him to take him on a trip around the world in three years. But they have been gone for 20 years, and they have not returned, and there is no news. ”

"Been waiting for twenty years? It's been a long time. Roger said with emotion.

"Yes, because of the longing, so painful, Rab will keep watching the upside-down mountain, hoping to see the familiar pirate flag again, that group of familiar people, and hear its favorite pirate song again." Arrow sighed, even though he had known the story for a long time, but when he heard it again, he would still feel very embarrassed.

"Twenty years have passed, and if there is no news on this great route, it must have been buried at the bottom of the sea long ago, and no matter how much you wait, you will never come back." Reilly said as he took a sip of his wine.

"Yes, Reilly is right, this is the Great Route, after twenty years, he either died or escaped by luck, escaped from this terrible Great Route, returned to the West Sea, and never came back." Kulokas said.

Hearing this, Arrow very much wanted to clarify for the Rumba Pirates, for Brooke and the others, they are definitely not the kind of cowards who will easily ignore the agreement between men, but they just encountered some accidents on the way. But no matter what, even if the sea turns into a mulberry field, even if there is only one skeleton left, he will carry Rab's familiar explosive head and return here with the last chorus of their Rumba Pirates to fulfill the agreement.

"No, they will never forget this promise and will definitely return here one day in the future." Arrow nodded firmly.

"Arrow, how can you be so sure?" Kurokas asked.

"My instincts, my instincts have always been accurate." This is the only reason that Arrow can prevaricate.

"I decided." Suddenly, Roger slammed the table, revealing a determined look and said, "How can the agreement between men not be sworn to abide by, I decided to go to the West Sea first and help Rab find the members of the Rumba Pirates." ”

"Are you stupid? How are you going to get from here to the West Sea? Kurokas asked in surprise.

"By boat, of course." Roger said as a matter of course.

"You're really stupid, on a boat? How could it be directly there, the West Sea is on the other side of the Upside Down Mountain. Kurokas said, pointing to the other side of the mountain.

"Does Kulokas know any secret passages or the like that can be reached directly?" Roger asked rhetorically, with a look of course.

"How could there be? If you want to go to the West Sea, you can only go to the New World, and then cross the windless belt. Arrow thought so, convinced, for this was the 'truth' he had identified before he had traveled here.

However, something happened to Jean's Airo, and Kurokas's answer made Airo open his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.

"As for the secret passage, yes, I remember that not long after I became the administrator here, a lonely traveler crossed from the Red Earth Continent, and he told me that there is a passage here that I don't know who it is, I don't know when it was opened, and the exit at the other end is the windless belt of the West Sea." Kurokas showed a look of remembrance, said slowly, and then suddenly realized something, and quickly covered his mouth.

"It's not good, I missed it." Kulokas was sweating profusely, regretting it in his heart.

"Eh, hey, hey, Arrow, Reilly, let's go, the secret passage, interesting." Roger smiled excitedly.

"Hey, no, no, I haven't walked through that passage, I don't know if it's dangerous inside, and I don't know if there's an exit, and I don't know where the exit is, and if the exit is really in the windless zone, it's dead, so don't go." Kulokas waved his hand anxiously.

"Does it matter? Since you are a pirate, there is no reason to be afraid of danger. Roger said nonchalantly.

"Brother Roger, really don't think about it anymore, such as taking a safe one, maybe the Rumba Pirates are still on the great route?" Arrow asked tentatively, this unknown road, especially the narrow passage through the Red Earth Continent, Arrow didn't want to try. What's more, the exit is still in the windless zone.

Arrows are people who are well aware of the dangers of the windless zone, and in that sea area, only special warships equipped with sea towers in the navy can pass through safely, and they will not be attacked by sea kings, but what about them? There is only one ship, and it is still a small dhow, which is really to die, and if you don't die, you have to die.

"Let's go, Arrow, Reilly, this is the captain's order." Roger said with a smile, no doubt.

"Stupid captain, I can't help it, let's take a trip." Reilly said, followed Roger on the boat, of course, the reason why Reilly behaved so calmly was that he was looking for excitement, and secondly, because he didn't know the horror of the windless belt, so those who didn't know were fearless, otherwise how could a person with a normal mind like Reilly have no reaction.

"Whatever you want, death will die." Arrow smiled bitterly, there was no way, he knew that he would never be able to persuade Roger, so he could only bite the bullet and just go to explore the unknown secret passage.

It wasn't until all three of them boarded the ship that Kurokas turned around from the shock of the news, turned his head to look, and found that the boat Roger was referring to was actually the old dhow, and his eyes were about to bulge, and he hurriedly chased after him, shouting: "You three, do you really want to take Rab to the West Sea through the windless sea?" Lie, this is really going to die, this time it's you. ”

"Don't worry, this Roelie is amazing, he carried us over the Upside Down Mountain." Roger said with a smile.

"Then at least fix the ship first, your rudder is gone." Kurokas said speechlessly, thinking that at least the three of Arrow should be left behind, and then slowly persuaded that the windless belt was not so easy to break through, and Kurokas didn't want the three of Arrow to die because of himself and Rab.

However, it turned out that once Roger made a decision, it was nine cows that could not be pulled back, and the next morning, under the guidance of Kulokas, slowly walking along the edge of the red earth continent for several hours, the three of them finally found the small passage that Kulokas said, and then plunged headlong into this unknown dark space.

……

In the supreme command room of the Navy Headquarters, a man with an upgraded Mohican head and a special M-shaped beard, aged nearly fifty, was sitting at his desk, looking at the reports that came back from all over the country.

"Marshal Kong." At this moment, a naval lieutenant saluted and shouted.

"Speak." The marshal of the Navy Headquarters said empty, without raising his head.

"Report to the marshal, on the windless strip near the West Sea, Commodore Polusalino's warship has spotted a mysterious flying thing, which may be a Devil Fruit." Lieutenant Commander reported.

"Devil fruits? Can you fly? This is really unheard of, interesting, leave this matter to Polusalino, let him watch it. Marshal Kong commanded.

"Yes." The Lieutenant Commander saluted again, then respectfully exited the room.
