Chapter 152
"I said, what did Snails want to do when she took Aaron out in a hurry?" Usopp looked at the crowd.
"I guess I found Hailou Stone again, after all, doesn't Gary need that kind of thing very much" Sanji guessed, and then he clapped his hands as if he suddenly remembered something, "That's right! Wouldn't it be nice to let Gary make a big lock and lock it on the refrigerator to prevent Luffy from stealing it? ”
"It's impossible, the Hailou Stone is so precious, how can Gary make a lock for you" "Since he can use the Hailou Stone, it's not difficult to make a big lock that can defend against the able, right?" What are you talking about? "It's nothing, I'm talking about how to prevent you from stealing food" "I've never eaten secretly!" "Wipe the residue off your mouth before you say this to me... Wait a minute! Residue? You bastard went steal again?! Come back! Don't run for me! ”
"These guys are really not in a hurry at all..."The orangutan looked at the fight scene on the Merry, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"After all, it's those guys, who can fit the sky with big hearts." On the other side, the ape leaned against the railing, and he looked up at the interaction of the straw hats on the Merry with interest, and looked up to the orangutan.
"Boss! Oh no! Just as the orangutan was about to answer, his younger brother suddenly shouted, "The night has drifted from the southwest, it's Cumulus Cloud!" ”
"Nani? What's the time now? The orangutan looked into the distance, and after seeing the darkness slowly approaching in the distance, he asked his men.
"Ten o'clock in the morning, earlier than scheduled!"
"That's terrible," the orangutan rubbed his hands together anxiously, and then waved his hand, "The probe will be out to explore the current nearby!" ”
"Yes!" The men responded, and then saw several men in diving suits jump into the sea, and everyone on the boat began to get busy nervously.
"That's Cuminator?" Nami looked at the Cuminator Cloud slowly drifting in the distance, and then looked at the sea shrouded in darkness beneath it, "The night is really caused by clouds, how thick is this Cuminator Cloud?" ”
"Did Custar Cloud come early?" Zoro looked at the clouds in the distance, then he scanned the sea, "Only that sky-high current is left, right?" ”
"But Aaron and Gary haven't come back yet," Usopp looked behind him from time to time, but he didn't see anything but the endless sea, and he said with some confusion, "Strange, why haven't they come back yet?" ”
"You probably ran away with Gary for a long time, right? After all, Gary's detection device isn't meant to be a joke. Sanji on the side guessed, "But in this case, will he be able to catch up with the sea current?" ”
"Don't worry about that guy, he can't do anything anyway, besides, he can't fly, he really can't just let him fly up to us by himself" Nami on the side said indifferently, she stared at the huge cloud like a continent, "The top priority now is to catch up with that upwelling current, Sanji Sauron, put the sails away, Chopper, you go and take the helm!" Usopp, you go to the rear to observe! ”
"Understood!" The crowd answered, and then they got busy.
"Reflection sound wave confirmed!" At this time, the diver's men also came out, they looked at the orangutan boss on the boat, and loudly reported the information they had found, "There is a large current at 12 o'clock!" "A huge creature was detected in the direction of 9 o'clock, it should be a sea king!" "At 10 o'clock there is a wave in the opposite direction of the current, and it is likely to be a huge whirlpool!"
"That's it! Turn the rudder in the direction of 10 o'clock, that is the precursor to an outbreak! Hearing the report of the last man, the ape suddenly slapped the railing of the boat and shouted excitedly, "Go towards that whirlpool, and you can't retreat!" ”
Wow!
But they had not advanced long before the waves became fierce, and the three boats swayed as if they were moving on jelly.
"This is a precursor to an outbreak, everyone be careful!" The ape was just holding the railing of the boat, and he reminded the crowd loudly.
"Miss Navigator, where is the pointer now?" Robin asked Nami with his back to the mainmast.
"Huh?" When Nami heard this, she quickly looked at the pointer on her wrist, and then she looked up at the slowly approaching Custard Cloud, "The pointer has been pointing at that cloud and not moving!" ”
"So the Sky Island is really up there?" Usopp looked at the clouds in amazement, and then he screamed in two trembling voices, "What a scary look! ”
"Hey! Shirley, what are you doing there, hurry up and grab the rails! Sauron, who was trying to stabilize his figure, casually caught a glimpse of Shirley, who had been sitting cross-legged and didn't know what he was drawing, and he couldn't help but yell at her.
"Woo... That's how it should be, right? Or is there an extra payment? It should be pretty much that, well... It should be a little close" Shirley, however, remained immersed in her own world, frowning and smiling, as if she had been played.
Da!
At that moment, a hand silently patted her on the shoulder.
"Wow!" Scared Shirley so much that her two braids were completely anti-gravity, and at the same time, she also pressed the drawing board to her chest with lightning speed, and then covered her ears and stole the bell, "Ahahaha, I didn't draw anything bad, how could I draw that kind of thing, ahahaha..."
Zoro: "......" Is this the reaction of a normal person after being taken aback?
"What the hell are you doing, don't you see that the wind and waves are very strong now, what are you drawing, hurry up and grab something, don't be swept into the sea by the waves!" Zoro suppressed the grumbling in his heart and told Shirley.
"No, I didn't paint anything, I didn't paint anything, really, hehe!" However, Shirley behaved like this.
"......" Zoro looked at Shirley speechlessly, how could this guy be stunned by the devil!
"It's a tailwind, and the Cumulus Cloud is moving towards the center of the whirlpool," and regardless of the interaction between Shirley and Zoro, Nami, who had been observing the clouds, suddenly spoke.
"It looks like you can't go wrong this time, brother!" The ape to the right of the Merry looked at the orangutan on the other side.
"That's right! The scale of the outbreak is also huge, and all the conditions are in place! The orangutan replied categorically.
"Can you go to the sky?" Luffy on the side asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Yes, that's fine," the orangutan said, gesturing to the ape next to him.
Whew!
Then two iron claws flew out of the ape ship that ran to the front of the Merry, firmly grasping the bow of the Merry.
"What's wrong?" Luffy asked, looking at the two iron claws, looking at the ape.
"Let the Vortex's orbit take you to the center of the Vortex!"
"What? So how do you do that? Nami asked, looking at the ape.
"Let the vortex take you!" The ape said to the crowd, "Once you're inside, you can reach the Eye of the Vortex without ruddering, so good luck!" ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Nami couldn't help but look to the side, "Hold the grass!" When did the maelstrom come out?! ”
Next to them, at some point, a huge whirlpool appeared like a giant mouth of the abyss.
"That's the maelstrom, be careful not to sink in the maelstrom again!" As he spoke, the ape waved his hand at his men, retracting the iron claws that were holding the Merry.
"Wait! I didn't say it would sink before! "Miss Nami! I'm here to protect you! "I've never seen such a big whirlpool..." "Are we going to heaven? Are you going to heaven? "Ahhh I'm going to get off the boat, I don't want to go to the empty island! "Give it up Usopp, someone is already fully excited" "Woohoo! Sky Island, I'm coming! ”
Burst!
At the moment when everyone was in a mess, next to them, a yellow-brown sea king fish suddenly stepped out of the water, and after showing a wave of painful facial expressions, it was brought into the whirlpool eye by the strong vortex, and let everyone understand how dangerous the maelstrom was.
The effect is really good, and everyone has a big mouth, "How can you play this specially!" Expression.
"Alright, it's here, bless yourself, brothers!" The ape at the mouth of the whirlpool shouted.
"Wait a minute! You didn't even mention beforehand that there was such a big whirlpool! You guys are cheating! Nami roared as she leaned against the railing.
"Okay, thank you for the escort!" Her captain waved goodbye to the apes happily.
“…… Why are you so excited" Nami looked at Luffy without tears.
"Hey, let's take a look at the current situation instead of thinking about returning home," Zoro said solemnly, who had been paying attention to the front, "At this moment of your conversation, the ship is already about to enter the eye of the whirlpool!" ”
Rumble!
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the Merry was suddenly thrown into the air by the force of the whirlpool, and then successfully maintained its balance in the air with the planks that had been nailed to both sides, and landed into the whirlpool without danger.
And just as the Merry fell into the whirlpool, the whirlpool around it suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Huh? Why is the whirlpool suddenly gone? Usopp looked around in confusion, and he was a little glad for the rest of his life, "Great, I'm saved..."
"No...", but Nami on the side did not relax at all, on the contrary, her expression was unusually serious, she looked at the deck under her feet, and said with a little trembling, "It's the bottom of the sea that the explosion is about to start, so the whirlpool eye temporarily disappeared from the sea."
If someone looks down from the sky at this time, they will find that with the Merry as the center, a whirling arm with at least a thousand meters of vortex is slowly rotating on the bottom of the sea, and in the center, below the Merry, a black dot that seems to be able to swallow the sky and the earth is slowly growing.
"W-no, won't?" Usopp wiped the cold sweat from his face, and he looked at Nami with some fear.
......Nami didn't answer him, she focused on the soles of her feet, feeling the restlessness of the current.
All of a sudden, the surroundings suddenly became silent, like a moment of silence before a storm, and this oppressive atmosphere couldn't help but make everyone's faces more or less nervous.
Bang!
At this moment, a deafening loud noise suddenly sounded on the sea in the distance.
"What's going on over there?" "It's coming!"
Just when everyone wanted to look up to see the situation over there, Nami suddenly shouted, and then everyone felt the sky shake under their feet, and they saw that the sea level around them was slowly lowering... Wrong! It's their ship that is being raised!
"Everyone! Grab the hull or hide in the cabin! After noticing this, Sanji jerked back and shouted to the crowd as he jumped from the bow deck to the hull deck with one hand, clutching the guardrail next to him.
And the crowd wasn't stupid, Zoro grabbed the guardrail on the other side, and at the same time tightened his arms around Shirley, Chopper and Robin protected the mainmast, and Nami and Usopp were only leaning against the bow and stern walls, respectively.
When everyone was ready, new changes began to take place on the sea.
The bulging sea water is accumulated to a certain extent, and then it bursts like a bubble.
Rumble!
The huge ocean current erupted in an instant, and in an instant, the clouds in the sky were poked out of a huge hole, and the ocean current was like a rod connecting the sea and the sky, and the water column with no beauty at all was also endowed with the beauty of spraying at this moment, which is the great power from nature!
"I hope you succeed...... Straw Hat Pirates! In a corner of the island of Gaya, Uncle Kulik was sitting on a wooden chair outside, looking at the column of water rushing to the sky, and talking to himself with a serious face.
On the wooden table next to him, an ashtray full of cigarette butts was vibrating slightly.
……
And somewhere on the sea.
"Thief hahahahaha! It's nerve-wracking, he escaped," Blackbeard said with a laugh as he sat cross-legged on top of the raft.
"Ahem, ahem! That guy is really amazing," said Poison Q, who was sitting next to him, the light in his eyes getting stronger and stronger, "I want to study that guy more and more!" ”
"You're still saying such cool things! The boiled duck just flies! Hurry up and think of a way, Captain, strike while the iron is hot and take down that little imp! The inverted triangle on the other side of Blackbeard shouted, pointing to a yellow figure in the sky.
"Thief hahahaha, don't worry, Bashas, he has not disappeared from this world, as long as he is still on this great voyage, we will soon meet him" Blackbeard laughed and comforted Bashas.
"That's right," said Van Okka, who was standing in the corner, indifferently, "This world is like a world of gears, and the little gears that desire to become stronger will definitely collide with each other and bite each other. ”
"Thief hahahahaha!" Blackbeard couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Fan Okka's summary, "That's right, that's it, thief hahahahaha!" ”
At this time, their clothes were more or less scratched, and their whole bodies were wet with seawater, and they looked like dogs in the soup.
