Chapter 44: The Demon Reappears

The world of One Piece is divided into six parts, namely the Great Shipping Route, the Red Earth Continent, and the four seas of the Southeast, Northwest, and Northwest.

The Great Shipping Route crosses vertically with the Red Earth Continent and encircles the whole world, dividing the world into the southeast, northwest, and seas.

The windless zone is a strip of land on both sides of the Great Shipping Channel, separated from the Great Shipping Route.

There are two intersections between the Red Earth Continent and the Great Shipping Route, one is the Upside-Down Mountain, and the other is the sacred place of the world's nobility - Mary Joa.

Upside Down Mountain is an incredible and dangerous mountain, and the gateway to the Great Shipping Route.

There are a total of five rivers on Upside Down Mountain, and four of them flow up to the top of the mountain in a dead rage.

These four rivers connect the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea, and the North China Sea.

The last river is the one that connects the four seas at the top of the mountain and flows into the great waterway.

The five rivers are four in and one out, which means that the entry into the great route can only be entered from the outflow of the river, and the position after entering is the starting point of the route.

The Great Passage is a very special sea. The first half is called Paradise, and the second half is called New World.

Especially in the New World, geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents are all chaotic, and it is difficult to even confirm one's own location, let alone find the island. Past seafaring skills and experience are unreliable.

In the Great Route, only the record pointer and the permanent pointer can be trusted.

A recording pointer can record the magnetic force that attracts each other between islands and can be used to permanently guide the direction of the next island. So every time you go to an island, it takes anywhere from a few hours to a few months to fill up the record of the compass so that you can set off to the next island.

Permanent Pointer, a permanent version of the compass that records the direction of an island forever.

From the Upside-Down Mountain, there are seven magnetic forces that stretch out. At the beginning, you can choose any one, but no matter which island the magnetism starts from, once you choose, you can't change it, you can only go down one island by one along the fairway, and finally these seven routes will converge into a fairway, and the last island you reach is the end of the great fairway "Lovedrew".

There are also small island states that are not on the magnetic route.

Since the record pointer does not point here, few pirates or other merchant ships pass by.

In the first half of the Great Voyage, a country called Redley was on one such island.

It is said that it is a country, but in fact it is just an organization in which several small cities unite and discuss things with village chiefs and other leaders.

Fortunately, the climate here is suitable, and the people of the country have been living a self-sufficient life and are very happy.

Until two months ago, a nightmare struck.

On that day, the wind, as usual, flowed gently on the island in all seasons.

Led by the wind, a small boat floated on the surface of the sea, and there was an unconscious man on board.

The ship is small, and no one would be stupid enough to sail with such a ship on the great route.

The kind-hearted villagers saw at a glance that this was an escape boat.

"What a pathetic man." The villagers thought so.

Several strong men with good water characteristics immediately jumped into the sea and pulled the boat to the shore to prevent it from being swept away by the sea.

A few more people came, bringing the people on the boat back to the city to find a doctor to treat them.

The man was a burly man, but his head was covered in blood and his ribs were broken in multiple places.

It took a lot of effort for the doctors to keep him alive.

However, this is where the nightmare began.

............

Now, two months later.

The island, which has not been passed by ships for many years, has once again welcomed a pirate ship.

17-year-old Luffy stepped off the pirate ship.

He never thought that killing a Celestial Dragon would actually get 10W gold coins.

The excited Luffy directly bought ten fast-growing capsules on the giant ship of the Draconians, and when he was only seven years old, he became seventeen years old.

The first few times I took the capsules, it only changed Luffy's height, and the increase in attributes was minimal.

It wasn't until the tenth time that the attributes were impressive, and when the last capsule was taken, each attribute actually increased by more than a hundred points.

Luffy, whose strength skyrocketed, found a lifeboat on the giant ship and left the sea.

The wandering time was not long, and within a few days, Luffy encountered a pirate ship.

Originally, he just wanted to take a boat, and didn't want to do it, after all, he had just completed a massacre, and the killing intent was not so heavy.

But this group of pirates actually thinks that Luffy is white and handsome, and wants to sell Luffy as a slave.

Then there is no way, the sins of heaven are forgivable, and the sins of oneself cannot be lived.

Luffy, who has always respected strength, directly gave this group of pirates a chance to be human again.

Speaking of which, this group of pirates is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the captain is also a sea pirate who dominates the first half of the Great Voyage, with a bounty of 130 million Bailey.

It's a pity, and I don't know if it's his luck or not.

Luffy's last punch didn't control the power and knocked him into the sea.

I thought that he was a devil fruit ability, and if he fell into the sea, he was not sure to die.

Unexpectedly, Luffy didn't receive the system's prompt tone for a long time.

Regretting the experience points and gold that he had lost in vain, Luffy steered the pirate ship and drifted aimlessly on the sea.

Last week, Luffy had nothing to do and flipped over the captain's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, a piece of life paper was found in the bedside table.

Life paper is a special item.

Neither afraid of water nor fire, it is made by mixing its own nails into the material, and it is a kind of paper that represents the vitality of the owner.

Usually people will tear him up and give it to a relative or friend who is about to separate, and the torn paper will attract each other.

The bored Luffy controls the sails and searches in the direction of the Life Paper, wanting to see what fun happens.

In this way, Luffy also followed to this indisputable island.

Along the port, Luffy walked into the small town, only to see that the doors of every house were closed, and the shops were all half-open and half-hidden, looking like a down-and-out town.

Walking to the center of the city, Luffy finally saw people, a whole lot of people.

These people are constantly busy, carrying stones and sediment.

An old man staggered along, pulling a large stone behind his back.

Luffy curiously stepped forward to help push it and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

The sudden ease startled the old man, and he almost fell.

Looking back at what Luffy was about to say.

"Smack!"

A whip was whipped on the old man.

"Hey! The old man over there, who told you to stop! A strong man waved his whip, and after speaking, he looked at Luffy again and said, "Where are you?" Go back to your place, don't you want today's food!?"

Looking at the strong man wielding the whip, Luffy lowered his head and thought secretly:

"It seems... Work is done again. ”
