Chapter 178: There are many mysteries
Hearing Sanji's question, Luffy immediately became anxious, "Of course I'm the captain, I'm the man who wants to be the king of the pirates, how can I not be the captain?" ”
"One Piece? Just you? Sanji chuckled and turned to the others, "What do you think, is he qualified to be our captain?" ”
Zoro didn't say anything, although Luffy saved him and showed strength comparable to himself, but as the captain, Zoro was not completely convinced. It's just that he has no interest in being a captain, so he lets Luffy call himself the captain. After the experience of crossing the sea in a small boat last time and almost dying, Solo really felt that it was time to rethink the question of who belonged to the captain.
Everyone was silent, watching Sanji quietly questioning Luffy's qualifications as captain.
Along the way, Luffy lost a lot of key battles, such as against Chloe, such as against the evil dragon. Although it has little impact on Luffy's strength growth, without these, Luffy's bond with his partners has not been established.
Usopp watched the play with his arms in his arms. A strong body and a unique talent for precision have created a proud and confident character. Except for Lynn, he has his own confidence and pride in the face of any peer, and of course it is impossible to follow others easily.
Nina's mind is very simple, her captain must be Lynn, and everyone else can only be temporary. Therefore, she also did not have the intention of firmly supporting Luffy.
This led to the current situation, even with the help of Lynn, most of the members of the prophesied Straw Hat Pirates were reassembled, but the lack of run-in caused Luffy to be unable to convince the public. Even he didn't think that Luffy was qualified enough to be his own captain.
The worst part is that now Luffy is covered in injuries and can't fight at all. For a while, the situation was simply out of control. Nina hesitated, it stands to reason that she should support Luffy, but there must be a reason to serve the public. But no matter how you think about it, you really can't find it!
Even if Luffy is not injured, as long as any two people present join forces, they can compete with Luffy. Before friendship and tacit understanding are established, such strength alone is not enough to serve as a captain.
"I'm the strongest, if I don't accept it, I will fight. If you win, you are the head of the regiment, I don't want this boat! Luffy said stubbornly.
Although he knew that he was not in the state, Luffy thought very clearly, the position of captain, and he couldn't let go of death. If you fail, then you would rather leave.
"Stupid! I don't look at my physical condition either. Sanji didn't look at Luffy, "Miss Nina, in comparison, I would prefer to support you as a captain, and I think Usopp and Grant will also support you." ”
Usopp nodded, compared to Luffy who had just met, of course he was willing to support his own people.
Nina was a little overwhelmed, she had never thought of being a captain, how did things suddenly turn out like this?
"Young master, what should I do?"
…………
Lihuas Mountain, also known as Upside Down Mountain. It spans the four seas and is the only entry into the Great Fairway from the sea.
"No matter how much text I've consulted before, it's still incredible to see it now. Lynn looked at the upside-down mountain towering into the sky and said with emotion.
"Nami, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, on me." Nami confidently began to command, and after full preparation, she already knew enough about Upside Down Mountain to finely adjust the course of the Kolan.
"Lower the sails and keep course."
After Nami took over the command, Lynn let go of the filaments and concentrated on feeling the currents, air pressure, magnetic fields, and other geographic information here.
"What a mess." The currents and magnetic fields were very unnatural, but Lynn couldn't find the root cause. It's like there's a huge stance below the surface of the sea that has a constant effect on the currents.
It is impossible to rely on the knowledge in one's own mind to analyze the cause of the formation of this upside-down mountain. This is a break from Lynn's meteorological geography knowledge system.
"Here the four currents meet, rush to the top of the mountain, and flow towards the great channel." This is the explanation in the book, but the problem is that it simply does not make sense.
What causes the four seas to converge at one point? How did the five waterways come to be? Why is it that none of the scholars in the world have seriously analyzed these issues?
Lynn's mind ran one question after another.
"Captain, I'm going to crash!" Char shouted excitedly.
The others were also a little uneasy, because they couldn't see where the channel was.
"Trust Nami, she's the best navigator of the future." Lynn said lightly, stabilizing the mood of the whole ship.
Nami's eyes lit up, and Lynn spoke the words from the bottom of her heart. Nami in this life is not so flamboyant, but standing on the chopping waves of the Kolan, in charge of the course of the entire ship, and hearing Lynn's words again, Nami feels that her blood is going to boil.
That's where I'm supposed to be! My brother is right, I should be the best navigator in the future, conquering the world's oceans, this should be me!
"You don't need to change direction, just move forward."
Hearing Nami's voice a little more confident and flamboyant, Lynn smiled and lowered her head and continued to think.
The Kolan had already taken advantage of the currents of the East China Sea, and the closer it got to Upside Down Mountain, the faster the ship became. At some point, it started to rain lightly in the sky, exactly like when Luffy passed the Upside-Down Mountain in the language.
"See, the waterways that climb upwards."
Everyone was amazed by the rising waterway that reached the sky, but Lynn noticed that there were stone frames one after another at the entrance of the waterway, carved with quaint patterns, sea fish, and other motifs.
"Eagle Eyes!" A golden halo instantly appeared in Lynn's eyes, and he used his hair to change the structure of his eyes, constructing a retina unique to Eagle Eye, as well as a new nervous system. Although Lynn could not guarantee a success rate before, now it can be constructed proficiently.
The field of vision expands instantly, and all the textures on the stone frame can be seen at a glance, and every small part can be magnified and observed by Lynn.
Just as Lynn was about to zoom in further, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Lynn hurriedly held the railing and stabilized herself. What's going on? Even if the eagle's pupil is lifted, the vertigo still exists.
"It's ...... Psychic attack, who am I attacked? ”
Lynn immediately looked around and noticed that the other people's expressions were very normal, and there was nothing unusual at all. There will be no enemies here either, I'm afraid there will be problems with those stone frames.
Under Nami's perfect command, the Kran climbed smoothly in height, not at all as thrilling as Luffy passed by.
Gradually, Lynn felt a trance, as if her spirit was being affected in some way. As if in a half-dream, when he woke up, he found that the Kolan was close to the top of the mountain.
"That feeling just now...... A kind of spiritual suggestion? No, it's not. Lynn pondered. Except for himself, no one noticed anything unusual.
Nami shouted, "Watch the course! Turn ahead, everyone. ”
Lynn reacted suddenly. The time is wrong, no, maybe the distance is wrong.
According to the map, this upside-down mountain is so huge that it spans the four seas, spanning beyond the two windless belts and the great shipping channel in between. It stands to reason that this flight takes a lot of days to be considered normal.
But what about now? How long did it take for the Kolan to reach the top of the upside-down mountain? Looking at the position of the sun, there is no major change, and it takes less than an hour. Then, at the current speed of the ship, it will only take a few hours to cross the great channel vertically without getting lost?
Isn't this? If the Great Passage is so narrow, how can there be seven Passages, and how can there be many national-level super-large islands?
The Kolan had crossed the top of the hill and had begun to rush downward. That particular psychic influence reappeared, and Lynn carefully countered the feeling, but it was useless. Consciousness gradually began to blur, and it felt as if I had entered a state of sleep.
When he came to his senses again, the Kolan was approaching the foot of the mountain.
"Haha, great voyage, we're about to get there." But Dahl was already too excited, and he didn't expect that a businessman like him would have the opportunity to venture into the Great Passage.
Seeing the excitement of the whole ship, Lynn buried her doubts in her heart.
The Upside-Down Mountain really contains too many secrets, and it is not something that you can touch for the time being. If you interpret what you just experienced according to your own understanding, it should look like this:
When entering the waterway of the Upside-Down Mountain, everyone is affected by a group psychic technique, losing the ability to think, and only remembering that they are moving forward. Then the space contracted, and the sea ship passed a very long distance in a short time. All were affected by the spirit and would not have any doubts about the upside-down mountain.
It's scary to think about!
In any case, this upside-down mountain is definitely not a natural product. If you speculate like this, the two windless belts, the great shipping lanes, the laterite continent, the landform of the entire planet are not right, who can have such a big stroke?
There are so many questions.
The two windless bands are also weird, and according to the meteorological knowledge provided by the system, the natural windless bands are related to the sunshine caused by dimensional differences, which will move over time. However, none of the books records the movement of the windless band, and it seems that there is another reason for its occurrence.
Lynn was a little hesitant, the system must know the reason, but if you touch the secret, the main personality is a lesson from the past.
"Captain, there's a giant whale blocking the passage ahead." Char's shouts interrupted Lynn's thoughts.
Lynn looked down, well, the whale has grown to this size, it is indeed a bit amazing. This is the whale Rab, and there is a rather mysterious old man in it, who lives in the whale's body.
"Captain, what should we do, this kind of big guy, I'm afraid we can't hurt him."
Lynn shook her head, whatever the story it had, for whatever reason, it was a crime to bet on it. I don't know how many passing ships it has smashed over the years, are those ships pirate ships?
Even if a considerable part of the victims were pirates, it still could not be concealed that it was actually a murderous whale with many crimes. This whale, and the old man who lived in its belly, died innocently!
Lynn's eyes sharpened, and his spiritual field shrouded him.
"Get out of the way, or, die immediately!"
Cold warnings, naked killing intent deterrence, work better in nature than anything else. This is the natural deterrent of the upper layer of the food chain to the lower level, in Lynn's heart, let alone a large whale, even the ancient sea kings are just a luxurious meal.
If this whale is really spiritual, it naturally knows how to choose.
Sure enough, the giant whale shuddered, and was so frightened that tears were about to remain, and immediately turned away to get out of the way.
"Get out of the way, that's great." The people on board rejoiced.
"Nami continues to command, waiting for me in the front town." Before the words fell, Lynn's wings behind his back had already taken shape quickly, and he jumped into the air and flew towards the whale.
