Chapter 309: Windless Belt (Second Update)
"The World Government's Science Corps...... Ho ho ”
"Since we have arrested our people, we really can't sit idly by, but will we just go?"
Fischerman, Lafitte and others arrived on the shores of Cake Island one after another.
A medium-sized sailing ship is docked here.
For a team of the level of the Ghost Hand Pirates, the size of the ship, the artillery, and even the speed are no longer of much significance.
As soon as an enemy ship appears in the area of sight, Rhodes can easily manipulate the currents and pursue them at a much faster speed than all the ships.
"Five people are enough."
Rhodes calmly replied to Fischelman, and then motioned for Lafitte to come over and study the charts, and described the specific situation to Lafitte.
Lafitte's current sailing level is much higher than that of Rhodes, and soon the sea area marked by Rhodes has been narrowed down again.
"If the base of the scientific army can move, then the sea area will be larger, but even if this kind of base can move, the speed will not be very fast, and it is still possible to find it with this sea area as the center."
Lafitte holds a pen and marks on the chart.
Rhodes took a closer look at Lafitte's shrinking seas, half of which were in the windless zone, and the other in the second half of the Great Route, at the edge of the New World.
"What if we narrow it down to the interior of the windless zone?"
Rhodes spoke suddenly.
Lafitte was about to say that he could exclude the windless belt, but when he heard Rhodes's words, he suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.
It's not impossible.
The windless zone is the home of the sea kings, there are countless giant sea kings, too large and even comparable to the Zou elephant master, even if it is a person of the level of the Three Calamity Stars, he can kill it with one nose, not to mention the danger.
But it is precisely because of its danger that the scientific army may have some kind of method that can be built in the windless zone, after all, the way that the sea tower stone is embedded in the bottom of the warship to blind the perception of the sea kings is the research of the scientific army.
"If that's the case, the scope is even smaller."
Lafitte pondered in response.
Rhodes nodded, glanced at the few people present, and said, "Without further ado, let's go now and find the secret base of this scientific army." ”
Including Rhodes, there were five people on board.
Rhodes, Robin, Trafalgaro, Lafitte, and Fischerman, and all but five of them had only a few odd toys that obeyed orders.
Today, a rough governance system has been established in the Sea of Nations, and even if Rhodes is not there, it will not be a big problem, not to mention that there are still Fuji Tiger, Rain no Hiryu and Helding and others.
The method of transforming the demon knife village rain into a 'slashing knife', Rhodes is bound to win!
……
The group quietly left Cake Island and the waters of all nations, and sailed towards the edge of the Great Route, near the windless zone.
Because this time he traveled lightly, he took an ordinary medium-sized sailing ship, and only four people such as Lafitte followed, plus Rhodes and Robin usually lived in the Sky Island Bica, so they did not alarm any forces, even the eyes of the world government did not notice Rhodes' actions.
A few days later.
At full speed with Rhodes' currents, the ship rode the wind and waves, crossed the New World, and reached the edge of the New World, close to the windless zone.
The two seas of the windless zone and the great route can be described as distinct, with turbulent currents and howling sea breezes on one side and calm seas without wind and waves on the other.
It's like two staggered trains with a clear dividing line.
"Windless ......"
"Boss Rhodes, are we really going in?"
Fischelman seemed to have some not-so-good memories of the windless zone, looking at the windless zone in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an expression that he didn't really want to go in.
That kind of super giant, comparable to the size of an island, Rhodes is not afraid, but he is a little cowardly, with a tail drawn, the range is comparable to that of an island, even with his speed, he may not be able to dodge.
"Ho Ho Ho, you seem to be a little scared."
Lafitte stood aside and smiled, revealing an expression that saw through Fischerman's mentality.
The corners of Fischelman's eyes twitched, and he retorted: "What are you kidding, it's just a little windless, isn't it just a little older sea king." ”
Rhodes didn't bother to pay attention to Fischelman, he stood at the front of the deck, his feet on the guardrail, twisting his force to manipulate the currents below, and rushed forward with the sailboat quickly, and just as that was head-on into the windless zone.
Before he escaped from Advance City, the Windless Belt was indeed a threat to him, but now he has nothing to fear, even if he is a sea king the size of an island.
Whoa!
Almost as soon as the ship broke into the windless zone, and less than a few thousand meters after sailing, a sea king hundreds of meters long poked its head out and looked at Rhodes' ship.
This sea king can only be regarded as a small sea king, and after staring at the sailboat twice, it uses it as a snack, opens its large mouth with several rows of teeth, and tears it off violently.
But.
Almost at this moment, a magnificent momentum swept by.
"Get out."
Rhodes glanced indifferently at the sea king, controlling the current to pass past it.
Under the shock of Rhodes's overlord domineering aura, although he did not pass out, he also showed a humanized expression of fear, watching Rhodes's ship pass by, and finally plunged into the sea and disappeared.
Rhodes's overlord color domineering can have an instantaneous deterrent effect on small and medium-sized sea kings, but the effect on large sea kings is not obvious enough, let alone super giant sea kings.
But.
As soon as he entered the windless zone, Rhodes entered the state of spiritual heart, fully exerting his domineering ability to see and hear, and stimulating the ability to predict the future.
Once a large Sea King or Super Giant Sea King attack ship appears, it is predicted seven seconds in advance that he can completely avoid it with the ship or take action to stop it.
This voyage can be described as thrilling and dangerous.
Although from time to time ridiculously large sea kings popped up on the surface, they could not catch even a little bit of the sailboat that Rhodes was riding.
However.
Rhodes controlled the ship in this way, and swept back and forth several times around the marked sea area at a very fast speed, but he didn't see any islands or anything like that, let alone the presence of a ship.
“……”
Lafitte stood in front of the table covered with charts, his face full of thought and groaning.
Trafalgaro sat aside with the demon sword ghost crying and said, "We have spent a few days here, and if that base can be moved, then maybe it is no longer in this sea area." ”
"The life card doesn't work, and we don't know where that base is moving, so the search range will be greatly increased, and in this case, even if we are fast enough, it will be difficult to find."
Lafitte opened his mouth with some difficulty.
At that moment, Rhodes walked over from the side, glanced at the charts and Lafitte's markings, and said, "What if it's underwater?" ”
The Advance City Prison was built on the seabed of the windless zone, but part of it was exposed to the sea, and there is no doubt that the government had the ability to build a building on the seabed of the windless zone.
"Underwater? It's not impossible......"
Lafitte pointed the ground with a wooden staff, nodded a few times, and said: "But in this case, we need to go underwater to find it, even if the captain can take the boat into the water, but it is too dangerous to go down to the sea in a place like a windless belt." ”
Everyone present is all Devil Fruit ability, run to the bottom of the sea, once encountered some giant sea king attack, washed by the sea, then all the game is over.
The death of the four emperors in the sea will probably become the biggest joke in hundreds of years.
"It doesn't matter."
Rhodes' eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I'm not in any danger alone, you go to the windless belt and wait outside." ”
Protecting a ship at the bottom of the windless zone where sea kings are rampant is difficult for Rhodes, but if he is alone, it is no problem.
