Chapter 61: The Flying Ship

The fruit is blue-white, the skin is turned outward, lightning-shaped, and about fifteen centimeters in diameter......

In the cabin, Jing Tian and the others watched the 'Thunder Fruit' on the coffee table, Nami and Hachi were simply curious, while Robin thought more.

"You really got the 'Thunder Fruit' out of it." Nami tapped the lightning-shaped peel of the fruit with her finger, looked up and said to Jing Tian unexpectedly.

"It's okay, if it's an 'air fruit' or a 'light fruit' or something like that, it's hard to get the corresponding element." Jing Tian said with a smile.

"Nature-based devil fruits...... Nami sighed.

"Big brother captain, do you want to eat it?" Hachi asked.

"It's not decided yet, let's study it for a while, and then eat it if the research doesn't produce any results." Jing Tianmo rubbed his chin and said.

"Do you really want to eat this?" Nami was stunned: "Although you can create the strength of the 'Admiral', do you need it?" I remember you said that eating the 'Devil Fruit' will make you weaker, right? ”

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Jing Tian waved his hand: "What we need to do now is to speed up the voyage and rush to the shipbuilding island as soon as possible, because there is a lack of various equipment now, and this fruit can only be watched and not immediately studied." ”

"What happens when the results of the research come out?" Robin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Uh...... Mass-manufacturing of fruits without side effects? Jing Tian pondered and said, "Or you don't need to eat the Devil Fruit, you can also use the Thunder and Lightning ability or something...... ......."

"Hachi! Go and set your course! Nami immediately straightened up and instructed Hachi with a serious face, "Tell Moo to speed up and get to the next island as soon as possible, and I'll reward him!" ”

"Oh, okay, Nami-sama." Xiaoba agreed in a daze, and before Jing Tian could say anything, he turned around and ran out......

"Hehe......" Robin let out a chuckle, and Jing Tian stroked his forehead with his hand speechlessly, but neither of them objected.

Soon the hull of the ship shook, and the centrifugal force on everyone's body suddenly increased, and it was obvious that the speed of the ship had increased by one level again.

"I'd better tell you not to get tired......" Nami realized what she had done, and suddenly stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and walked out of the cabin.

"Let's do this today, and tomorrow we'll load the hull with 'Spray Shells', and it will be faster." Jing Tian said.

"Uh-huh, by the way, have you dealt with Anilu's body?" Nami asked as she stopped at the door.

"Thrown into the sea." Jing Tian responded unconcernedly.

"Oh." Nami answered, and continued to walk out of the room.

"Is the fruit so easily transferred?" Robin looked at the 'Thunder Fruit' on the coffee table again and asked softly.

"Well, there's nothing peculiar about it." Jing Tian nodded, then walked to the shelf inside the room and took a wooden box, and said as he walked back: "Originally, I thought the ceremony had failed, but when those fruits rotted under the thunder and lightning, I found that one of them was actually intact. ”

"Thunder, lightning, flames, this kind of 'natural Devil Fruit' is indeed relatively easy to transfer." Robin nodded slightly, and then said with some hesitation: "However, I have some guesses about the transfer methods of other types of 'natural Devil Fruits'. ”

"Oh? What is it? Jing Tian paused the action of putting up the 'Thunder Fruit' and looked at Robin curiously.

"The blood of the original master ......," Robin said uncertainly, "can it replace the corresponding element?" ”

"Blood ......" Jing Tian was stunned.

"For example, the 'glitter fruit' you just mentioned." The corners of Robin's mouth curled slightly sly, because she knew whose 'glittering fruit' it was.

Shaking away the delusions in his heart, Robin continued, "Is it feasible to replace the 'light element' needed for the ritual with the blood of the 'Shining Fruit' ability? ”

"That's a good subject......" Jing Tian's eyes lit up slightly, and then he smiled at Robin and said, "Okay, I'll find a 'Devil Fruit Ability' to experiment with it, if your guess is true, then this method will be applicable to all types of 'Devil Fruits'." ”

"It's just an unfounded guess." Robin waved his hand a little embarrassed.

"Science has to be the courage to guess." Jing Tian laughed and put the 'Thunder Fruit' in the wooden box......

The next day, after Jing Tian got up, he began to get busy, charging the two hundred or so 'Spray Shells' he brought back, and flicked his arms to instill wind power into them.

After completing the installation of all the 'Spray Shells' on the hull, Jing Tian turned into a carpenter and began to refit the sailboat, fitting the Golden Adventure with two flying wings.

After a busy day, it took a whole day of work, repairing at night, and the next morning, Jing Tian re-proofed and calculated the data, and found that there were no problems, and then he was ready to officially start the 'maiden voyage' of the 'Golden Adventure'.

"Hachi, sail rope inspection."

"It's all tied up Big Brother Captain!"

"Nami, course?"

"Correct." Nami raised her wrist and replied loudly after looking at it.

"Robin, is Moo tied up?"

"Rest assured, balanced and stable."

"Very well, then we're ready to set sail!"

Jing Tian was standing in front of the rudder in the bow of the ship at this time, but it was not the rudder of the sailboat, but a set of 'steering wheels' and 'gear levers' designed separately yesterday.

"Do you need to hold on to something?" Nami was a little worried, and stood in front of the railing on the second floor, her hands firmly gripping the railing.

"Be at ease with my design." Jing Tian smiled slightly, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and pushed hard the one on the far left of the four gear levers under his feet.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was a sudden series of soft noises outside the ship's side, and the next moment, a roar suddenly sounded.

"Oops!" The hull of the ship shook suddenly, causing Nami to lower her weight with a low snort.

"Fly! It's really flying! Hachi, who is particularly obsessed with the sky, suddenly cheered.

"This is the ascent stage, and I haven't flown yet." Jing Tian smiled and said, "Xiaoba, go and appease Moo." ”

"Okay big brother." Hachi quickly rushed to the bow of the boat, leaning on the railing, and exchanged moos with the frightened moo below.

Soon Moo Moo quieted down, and Jing Tian asked Xiao Hachi, "How is it?" Is moo still hanging fast? ”

"No problem, big brother." Hachi looked at it and responded, "Moo Moo is completely out of the water, and the balance of the cloth rope on his body is very good." ”

"Okay, then we're going to fly." Jing Tian said as he reached out and pushed the second gear lever up.

Boom! Coaxing-

There was a bang at the stern of the ship, and the "Wind Jet" that was the "thruster" was activated one after another, and a strong wind beam erupted from the shell, causing the "Golden Adventure" to suddenly and violently fly forward.

"Wow-wow-" Nami was no longer afraid, and stood on the second floor to lift the railing, her arms fully extended, and her face was full of excitement.

"Fly! Fly and fly! We flew! Hachi was also excited, raising his six arms and waving his cheers wildly.

"Hehehehe......" Robin held the mast with one hand and straightened his windswept hair behind his ears with the other, and let out a chuckle as he looked at Hachi's appearance.

"I'll drive it! I'll drive it! Nami didn't have any worries at all at this time, and quickly ran down from the second floor, came to Jing Tian's side and asked eagerly, "How does this thing work?" ”

"I'm also interested." Robin also walked over.

"Okay." Jing Tian stepped aside, pointed to the four gear levers under his feet and said: "The one on the left is to control the ascent, there are three gears, and the first gear starts eight 'wind shells', which can make the boat rise to its current height." ”

"About twelve meters." Nami quickly visually surveyed the surface of the sea and gave the data.

"Hmm." Jing Tian bowed his head and continued: "The second gear is to double the number of starts, which can make the boat fly higher, and the third gear is to use all the power to lift the hull...... That is, all twenty-four 'spray shells' are activated. ”

"Oh, what about the other three wooden poles?"

"The second is the gear lever that controls the stern 'thrusters'." Jing Tian said with a smile: "There are also three grades, which are twelve, twenty and thirty 'Spray Shells' respectively. ”

"Oooh, it's first gear." Nami nodded repeatedly, looked at the sea below, and said, "The speed of the ship is about ...... Seven or eight meters per second, I know. ”

"The third gear lever is the reducer." Jing Tian pointed to the third gear lever: "This is divided into three gears on the left and right, corresponding to deceleration and height reduction, that is, to control the small mechanism to turn off those 'spray shells'." ”

"What about the last one?" Hachi asked with interest, pointing to the last gear lever.

"This is an emergency life-saving device." Jing Tian said with a smile: "It is used to open the 'parachutes' that I have installed around the stern and side of the ship, in case of accidents, the parachute at the stern of the ship will slow us down, and the ones around the side of the ship will let us land slowly." ”

"Simple yet functional design." Robin sighed with a smile, and then asked, "So how long can we fly at a time?" ”

"Seven or eight hours." Jing Tian estimated and said: "After that, it will be necessary to replace the 'Spray Wind Shell', which is the one outside the bow of the ship." ”

Jing Tian pointed to the outside of the bow of the boat: "I placed the other 'Spray Shells' on the bow of the ship, and after we landed, those 'Spray Shells' on the bow of the ship were also filled with wind power, and they could be replaced with the used 'Spray Shells' to fly again." ”

"Steering wheel! Steering wheel! Nami pointed to the steering wheel again and asked, "How does this work?" Which side points to which side? ”

"It's normal." Jing Tian turned his head to look at the wooden wings on both sides of the ship, and reminded: "Remember, don't be too hasty when turning, otherwise with today's rudimentary materials, I'm afraid that the flying wings will malfunction or break." ”

"Uh-huh!" Nami nodded heavily, then stepped forward impatiently, reaching for the steering wheel.

"Let's try the left ......side first," Nami said, slowly turning the steering wheel to the left.

The hull tilted slightly, and the bow turned slightly and began to fly to the left in a slight arc.

"Wow - it works so well!" Nami snorted.

"Hehehe......" is also his own work, although it is too simple, but Jing Tian still laughed at Nami's praise.

With a fresh 'plaything', Nami suddenly became responsible, and during the rest of the voyage, she rarely left the rudder, saying that she wanted to keep track of the course, but everyone knew her mind, and it was nothing more than an addiction.

As a result, the ship was suddenly divided into two gangs, Nami and Hachi were young factions, and the two took turns with the helm in their hands, and they were not tired of standing for hours.

And Jing Tian and Robin, the two 'old men', were lying leisurely in the recliners, one looking at a book and the other enjoying a drink......

……

The Great Voyage was so inhospitable that you wouldn't see any ships even if you sailed for many days, unless it was an area with islands nearby.

Just like the 'Golden Adventure', it flew for four days in a row, and there was not a single ship in sight, and of course, the 'Golden Adventure' that could fly did not cause any sensation because of this.

In the blink of an eye, four days of calm sailing passed.

Once mastering the controls, Nami and Hachi have perfectly planned their sailing.

Every morning at 5 o'clock in the morning, the early eight control the spacecraft, until about 12 noon, and then land to change the 'Spray Shell' and eat.

In the afternoon, Nami was at the helm and flew until the sun went down at seven o'clock, and so on, the day's sailing was over.

And the gap between the spaceship and the sea ship can also be seen, no, the distance that originally took more than ten days to sail has now been successfully crossed in only four days......

Observing the change in climate, Nami landed the ship, and the Golden Adventure entered the normal sea voyage, and everyone stepped onto the deck.

"Are you about to reach the island?" Robin looked up at the still-endless sea and turned to Nami.

"That's right, the currents below have flattened, and the clouds and climate in the sky have stabilized." Nami nodded, then turned her head to look at the steering wheel regretfully.

"Alright, then I'll go and get all the 'Spray Shells' back." Jing Tian walked towards the side of the boat, and at the same time beckoned: "Hachi, come to help, the bottom of the boat will be handed over to you." ”

"Just take it?" Nami reluctantly said, "We can fly too......"

"We're going to change ships next." Jing Tian smiled: "Don't worry, the ship in the future can also fly, so you can have enough." ”

Without waiting for Nami to say more, Keizam jumped up and jumped over the side of the ship......

Two hours later, there was finally an island in sight, but not just one, but four islands.

"Long Chain Island...... Let me see. Nami took the chart she had received from Smoker, looked at it, and said, "So...... It is now the time after the 'Maritime Period', and the sea is rising, submerging and dividing the crown islands into a circle of scattered islands...... Looks like I can't map the whole island anymore......"

"Put on a wetsuit and let Hachi take you to the sea to observe." Jing Tian said.

"Forget it." Nami shook her head, put down the map in her hand, and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to go to Shipbuilding Island?" So forget it, anyway, my main dream is to draw nautical charts, not world maps, so the map of the islands will be forgotten this time, and it will only be good to map the nautical charts. ”

"Okay, then let's hurry up and go around the ten islands first, and then enter the sea area in the middle of the 'island encirclement'." Jing Tian bowed his head and asked Hachi to inform Moo.

I don't know when it was at the plot point at this time.,If you take the comic plot.,The Straw Hats arrived on the Long Chain Island on the day they left the Sky Island.,If you take the animation plot.,Then it's going to be delayed for a day.。

However, no matter what kind of plot, the 'Golden Adventure' will be at least two days behind the Straw Hats.

In the original plot, the Straw Hats were approached by the Pheasant General because of Robin's relationship, and as a result, all of them were injured and stayed on Longchain Island for four days, but now it is different, Robin is on Jing Tian's ship, so the Straw Hats will naturally not be injured again, and there is no need to stay on Longchain Island.

Then from the long chain island to the 'shipbuilding island' of the capital of seven waters, the Straw Hats spent another three days.

After calculation, if Jing Tian wanted to run ahead of the Straw Hats again, he had to seize all the time, immediately finish surveying and mapping the nautical chart of the Long Chain Island, and set off immediately without trimming.

Boom Boom –

Jing Tian's thoughts were interrupted by a thunderous sound, and when he turned his head to look in the direction of the stern, Jing Tian suddenly frowned unhappily.

Around the island, there is a special sea king called 'sea monkey', which has a monkey on the upper body and a fish on the lower body.

This kind of sea king has a very bad character, if they come across a sailing ship, they will set off a monstrous wave, submerge the ship, and destroy many people and ships.

Right now, this group of 'sea monkeys' has set their sights on the 'Golden Adventure', setting off huge waves hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters long behind the hull, which are hiding in the huge waves and quickly rushing towards the 'Golden Adventure'.

"Ears, find a way!" Nami exclaimed.

"It's a sea monkey...... Robin frowned slightly when he heard of this sea king.

"Hachi." Jing Tian asked, "Can sea monkeys eat it?" ”

"I don't know." Hachi shook his head: "Sea monkeys have high intelligence, so our fish-people have not hunted them. ”

"Forget it." Jing Tian shook his head, walked quickly into the cabin, and quickly walked out with a long knife.

Coming to the stern of the boat, Jing Tian's aura in his body was running, and he poured into the long knife raised to the top of his head, and then snorted softly, and slashed the long knife forward.

Woo –

The tip of a knife that was detached from the sword qi instantly swelled to a hundred meters, and quickly slashed into the monstrous waves.

Rumble!

A huge tremor came from afar, and the body of a sea monkey hiding in the waves was instantly split in half, and the blood stained the waves red, causing the rest of the nearby sea monkeys to howl in horror, and quickly completely disappeared into the waves.

At the same time, a huge gap suddenly appeared in the hundred-meter-high wave, which could not heal for a long time under the influence of the residual knife qi.

Boom Boom –

The waves that split in two continued to roll in, but they were no longer a danger to the Golden Adventure.

Soon, two halves of the sea crashed past the Golden Adventure's hull without causing any waves, except for drenching the hull.

"Moo-"

A mooing danger warning came from the bow of the boat, causing Jing Tian to frown again, and then jumped into the sea with a 'tsk'.

Not long after, the sea water in a large area was suddenly rendered red, and after a while, Jing Tian jumped out from under the sea, stepped on the 'moon step', and returned to the side of the ship.

"How's it going?" Nami asked, picking up a towel from the coffee table and walking over to her.

"All three of them were slaughtered." Jing Tian took the towel and wiped the water droplets from his hair, and then his whole body was shocked, and steam suddenly rose from his clothes.

"I've never seen such a bad sea king." Nami frowned and grumbled.

"Ignore it." Jing Tian said with a smile.

The Golden Adventure began to move again, heading towards the longchain island ahead, and it wasn't long before the sailboat was close to the shore.

"Plains Island?" Nami looked at the grassland scenery on the island and said with some surprise, "It's too desolate, isn't it?" Isn't there anyone to develop it? ”

"I guess I don't have any resources." Jing Tian looked at the scene in front of him and estimated that this was the island where the Straw Hats had landed.

"Earls." Robin's voice rang out from above.

Jing Tian looked up to the second floor, only to see Robin raise his hand and point to the stern of the boat and say, "There is a boat over there." ”

"Huh?" Jing Tian walked to the stern of the boat, and suddenly looked at it.

In the distance came a huge sailing ship, five or six times the size of the Golden Adventure.

There were many people standing faintly on the bow of the boat, and the sails were painted with white paint like children's graffiti, and if it wasn't for Jing Tian knowing the details of the other party, he would never have seen what that picture was.

"Pirates?" Nami said with some concern, "It's a lot of people, but it's ......"

Nami's expression gradually became weird, and she looked at the flag on the ship, and finally couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Well, it doesn't look like a threat, after all, it will be marked by that kind of pirate flag......"

"I'll go over for a moment." Jing Tian said to Nami and the others, "Save them and let them come over and cause some trouble." ”

"Go and get back." Nami didn't care, but said, "Finish the chart early, let's leave early." ”

"Hmm." Jing Tian responded, stepped on the 'moon step' and rushed into the air, 'bang' towards the huge sailboat.

There was a faint exclamation, and it was obvious that Jing Tian's 'flight' had shocked the people on the ship.

The ship was too big and it was very troublesome to stop, so before the 'Silver Fox Pirates', who had the intention of retreating, stopped or turned the ship, Jing Tian rushed to the front and fell from the sky.

"Silver Fox Fox?" Jing Tian asked, standing on top of the huge fox statue at the bow of the boat, looking at a man who was being pushed and standing in front of him with the image of a sloppy uncle.

"Yes, it's me." Pointed mid-parted head, bucket waist...... In short, the ugly Silver Fox Fox looked quite afraid, and in the face of Jing Tian's inquiry, he swallowed his saliva and replied carefully.

Buzz –

The overlord color swept through the audience, and a sound of falling to the ground appeared one after another, and after breathing, only two people were left in the entire ship to stand...... (To be continued.) )
