Gaya Island, Oak Tavern.

The revamped tavern continues the tradition of a hundred Baileys and was once a favorite gathering place for the islanders after a busy day.

However, the waves of the era of pirates are rolling in, and there is no place to stay out of it.

Most ordinary families were forced to move away from the island, leaving only pirates and villains behind. The daily reception of this old tavern has also changed from fishermen to criminals.

It is worth mentioning that the current takeover of the Oak Tavern is the son-in-law of the previous owner, who and his daughter died in the shipwreck.

"Damn the Navy!!"

At this moment, in the Oak Tavern, a drunken pirate opened his collar and shouted, "These bastards! Why should they be the only ones who can go up! We also want to go to the Sky Island!! ”

This remark attracted a group of people to echo it, even if they are not pirates, there are many people who want to go to the sky island.

The blockade of the navy made them grit their teeth with hatred, and drenched the crane who gave the order and the dog scolded by the Sengoku with blood. But in the face of strong ships and artillery, even if they add them all, they will not necessarily be opponents.

It is true that pulling out the navy alone is not an opponent for the masters of all parties here, but if you push them into a hurry, people sneak to the sea to gather artillery to bombard the island, what can you do?!

So soon someone jumped out and sneered.

"Pull it down, you ......"

The pirate rolled his eyes disdainfully: "What if the navy allows others to go up?" Empty ships are only available in the Navy, will you build them or will you drive them? ”

"I've inquired, and other people want to go to the sky island, or take a hot air balloon from the first route of Qixing Island to the sea of clouds hundreds of meters high, and rush up through the white sea channel...... Or come to Gaya Island to gamble and wait for the current! ”

"Die all together, or survive all of them!"

The man slammed the wine glass on the table with a "bang", and gritted his teeth: "Lao Tzu, why don't they leave?" Aren't they all waiting to fight for their lives on the current?! ”

Although this person's words are not to be heard, they are also a reality.

It would be unrealistic for most of the pirates to return to their starting point and reroute the first route now, as they were newcomers who had just stepped into the Great Voyage for a few months, and various factors did not allow them to retreat.

So if you want to go up, there is only one way to go up to the sea current.

Take a boatload of people and gamble on that half of the life!

At this moment, a man burst in in a panic, dressed in a coarse linen coat with a musket and a scimitar pinned to his waist, dressed as a pirate.

Glancing at the tavern, the man swallowed and shouted in one direction, "Boat...... Captain! Uprushing current...... Here it comes!! ”

Swish!

The tavern was silent, and the pirate captain glared at his crew and hurried out with a group of people.

Even if you want to gamble with your life, you have to know in advance when there will be an uprushing current.

In the vicinity of the island of Gaya, updraft currents occur four or five times a month, which seems to be a good chance, but each time the position is not fixed, and it is not even visible from a distance.

If you can't prepare in advance and accidentally appear in the center of the Shangchong Current, it is not called gambling life, but looking for death!

His family's navigator has some ability, and he can see this, and he has always regarded it as a hole card. As a result, he was troubled by this person, and many people didn't know about it, but now everyone knows it.

It was only after they left that several of the pirates recovered from their shock. They glanced at each other and slapped the table.

"Let's go!!"

"Tell everyone to get ready! Mother, whether you drink wine and eat meat or fall to death, it's up to you! ”

"Quick! Come on! We only have this one chance! ”

The huge tavern suddenly became empty and quiet, and the wine glasses and tables and chairs and benches were all over the place. In the corner, a young pirate wearing an orange cowboy hat with two badges of "smile" and "sadness" on the brim suddenly bursts his nose and wakes up. He glanced at the tavern, which was still bustling just now, and scratched his head strangely.

"Huh? What about people? Oh no, am I oversleeping again! ”

……

"A dangerous route of life or death", this is the name that Kulik the chestnut head said to the Straw Hats.

At this moment, on the western coast of the island of Gaya, dark clouds obscure the sky and the sun is completely blocked. It was early in the morning, but the light was as dim as dusk. The low dark clouds seemed to be about to collapse, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the scene of the end made countless birds and fish feel the danger and flee in panic.

This is the Cutocrum cloud, which formed at high altitude. However, unlike ordinary clouds, no matter how thick they accumulate, they do not generate air currents, and they do not fall into rain.

Where it appears, there is an uprushing current.

Even the warships stationed on Gaya Island did not dare to approach this dangerous climate zone at the moment, but one by one the pirate ships spread their sails and braved the waves, and went straight to the center point.

Without regard to their purpose and identity, this scene is enough to move anyone to say that.

The hymn of humanity is a hymn to courage!

"Humph! Pirates who don't know whether they are alive or dead! ”

On the deck of the warship stationed here, Vice Admiral Mozambia lowered his binoculars and snorted coldly.

He was left by cranes on the island of Gaya and managed to stop more and more hyenas, but he was never able to eradicate them. Their forces are not worth mentioning to the entire Gaya Island bandit den, and the situation has to be stalemate due to the balance of forces on all sides.

After thinking about it, Mozambia asked.

"Advisor Kulik, what do you think?"

Behind the Mozambian lieutenant general stands Venbulan Kulik, former leader of the Saruyama Combined Forces and current security adviser to the Navy's air boat force.

Crane wants to go to the sky island, even if there is an airboat to help, it is not safe, as the man most familiar with the island of Gaya, Kulik is fortunate to land on Angel Island with the crane.

When he saw the other half of the island of Gaya, the "holy land" in the mouths of the people of Angel Island, Apayado, this man who never bowed to fate, was indomitable and persevering, and cried like a child.

After that, Kulik, who had untied his heart, disbanded the Saruyama United Army, and begged Tsuru to lift the bounty of the orangutan and others with the promise of selling himself to the navy, while he assumed the position of security adviser to the airship force.

He expressed his support for the idea that the Navy would establish a branch here.

The biggest dispute between Sandia and the inhabitants of Angel Island is land, and if there is a safe rear to bring the soil into the sky, the contradiction between the two that has lasted for four hundred years can be completely resolved, at least temporarily.

So for this group of troublesome pirates, Kulik didn't have a good impression of it.

Seeing Mozambia's inquiry, Kulik replied truthfully.

"The closer the Cudiyun gets to the island of Gaya, the stronger the uprushing currents become, and they can even lift half of the island into the sky...... That kind of power will destroy the fragile and thin sailing ships of the pirates in an instant, and it is almost impossible to reach them safely! ”

"Is there a chance of arriving?"

Mozambia frowned, now that the ruler of the crane and the sky island has gone to the naval headquarters, the strength of the sky island priest team left behind is still strong. But if you really want to face this group of murderers, you will inevitably be like them, and the lack of troops will be exploited.

"Is there nothing you can do to stop them? Can the dispersal of Cuxie clouds interrupt the uprushing current? ”

"The specific principle of the uprush current is unknown, but it is generally understood that the current eruption caused by the cavity of the seabed, and it is meaningless to disperse the Cuxidian clouds. And...... How can human beings interfere with nature! ”

Kulik shook his head with a wry smile, of course he knew what the consequences would be if he was washed up on Angel Island by this group of murderers, but he really had nothing to do.

The power of the uprushing currents so close to the shore was terrifying, and he didn't feel safe even here.

"No...... Maybe someone can! ”

Mozambia said suddenly, looking at the distant sky.

There, clouds exploded, and dazzling thunder flashed between the clouds, connecting the clouds. It is a special climatic phenomenon that has previously stretched half of the first half of the great shipping route, zipper thunder!

And the man who appeared with the zipper ray was hailed as a super rookie in the navy, a monster that was strong enough to fight against nature!

Kulik was just about to ask a question, and the next moment, a strange figure appeared in front of them.

"Am I late? Lieutenant General of Mozambia. ”

Ron wears a thundercloud around his waist and wears a black suit, with a cloak of justice behind him. The two-and-a-half height that has finally stopped skyrocketing makes him look like a giant, with Mozambia and Kulik only up to his shoulders. The hard face and strong muscles are extremely coordinated, and the appearance is not sunny, but it has an inexplicable calm temperament. A deep aura like a peak and an abyss emanated from him, and the power of the furious thunder was daunting!

At this moment, Ron sneered and looked back at the Emperor Cloud in the distance...... and the pirate ships that gradually gather under the Custard clouds.

"Looks like it's just in time!"

Touching the hilt of Thundercloud's sword, Ron suddenly grinned and smiled with murderous intent.

"The teacher said, don't stay in the open field when it's thundering...... Little ones! ”
