Chapter 1: Rab
"It's a nice day."
Robin, dressed in a plain white dress, leaned back on the chaise longue and stretched her body wantonly, her face covered by huge sunglasses was full of laziness and comfort, and the sun's blazing vision was hidden by a huge parasol, unable to sunburn her pink skin.
Unfortunately, Robin's location is on top of a merchant ship, and no one can see the beauty of the place unless he stands on the mast lookout.
Looking at the drinks and desserts on the low table next to Robin, as well as the big blue parasol, and comparing it to his unconcealed and shirtless face of the sun, Zoro nodded and said, "Indeed." ”
"Bang!" Placing two heavy, large iron locks on the ground, Zoro temporarily finished his workout and picked up a towel from his side to wipe the sweat from his face.
Robin put down the book and watched Zoro walk towards him, his beautiful eyes shining under the sunglasses.
With a muscular body and well-developed muscles, it seems to be painted with gold paint after being covered with sweat, usually men are easy to cause women to be disgusted when they are sweating, but obviously Zoro's strong and non-bloated muscles do not make people feel disgusting, and Robin thinks it is quite eye-catching.
"Good muscles." She pursed her lips and smiled.
Picking up the boiled water on the table and drinking it all, Zoro, who had been exercising for a long time and still hadn't changed much in his breathing, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
"At this point, you should answer, 'You're in good shape, too.'" In his mind, the Wind Blade spat out in a tone that was uncarnable to rotten wood.
Pulling the Wind Blade aside from the table, Zoro pulled a casual box and sat down.
"Straight to Alabastan?"
"Well, but you can go elsewhere if you want." Although there was a male hormone explosion sitting next to him, Robin did not have a trace of abnormality and remained calm.
"This ship shouldn't be able to pass through a windless zone, right?"
"Hailou Stone is very valuable, we are not as rich as the navy."
The "Great Passage" is a strip of sea sandwiched between two narrow seas, and these two seas are also called "windless zones" because they are completely windless, making them extremely dangerous for pirates who sail on their sails. In addition, it is also the nest of sea kings, and there are many unimaginable giant sea kings, which greatly increases the danger of windless zones.
It is very difficult to pass directly through the windless zone, and even if the problem of sailing in windless conditions is solved, there will be a large number of Sea Kings who will see the ship as food and attack.
Dr. Begabank Knight, a scientist in the Navy, has found a way to avoid the attack of the Sea Kings, as long as the Sea Tower Stone is embedded in the bottom of the Navy warship, the Sea King can make the Sea King see the Navy warship as a part of the sea, so that the Navy warship can safely pass through or even dock in the windless zone of the Great Passage without being attacked. It's just that if the battleship stays still, it will still be detected by the Sea Kings and attack after a long time.
The Baroque Workshops, on the other hand, had the money, but they did not have the skills to put the sea stone in the bottom of the ship, so they had to honestly take the canal through Levi's Hill (also known as the Upside-Down Mountain) to enter the great waterway.
While thinking about it, a girl in a yellow skirt, holding a small yellow parasol, and wearing a yellow fisherman's hat walked up and said respectfully, "Miss.All Sunday, we are about to arrive at the canal of the Upside Down Mountain." ”
The girl is a high-level agent of the Baroque Workshop, codenamed Miss. Valentine's Day, one of Robin's entourage who came this time, and a person with whom Zoro had dealt with but who had little impression of his presence because he didn't have much of an impression.
Shoving a sandwich into his mouth, Zoro ate as he watched the towering Red Earth Continent and Upside-Down Mountains in the distance.
"From here, it's a great passage." A look of remembrance flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered something interesting, and Zoro smiled: "I don't know if Rab is blocking the road there now, if it is still blocked, it will be interesting." ”
Thinking back to Rab's island-like body and comparing it to the merchant ship he was in, Zoro was suddenly curious about how the agents of the Baroque Workshop would respond.
Robin had already finished communicating with Miss. Valentine's Day at this time, so she stepped back and sat up, looked at Sauron and said, "I'm about to pass the Upside Down Mountain, and I need to trouble you about something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I just received word that there is an island whale blocking the entrance to the Great Passage, and our men are trying to lure it away, but it doesn't work well.
You may need to take action then. ”
"Oh?" Sauron was surprised, "Don't you have any other way to get rid of it?" ”
I was really talking about what I was talking about, and I was talking about Rab just now, but the next moment I learned about it.
Robin shrugged: "That's not an ordinary whale, it's a giant island whale, really bigger than an island." To drive it away, the armed forces of this ship alone are not enough. ”
The speed of the sea gradually increased, and the merchant ships were already approaching the Upside Down Mountain, about to enter the canal and head towards the summit. Zoro knew that the strength of the Baroque Workshop would definitely not be so strong that even an island whale could not be driven away, and Robin's rhetoric probably only allowed him to show his strength, so he didn't say anything, just nodded in response.
Anyway, Rab was also his partner, and he didn't want it to be hurt by the people of the Baroque workshop.
The ship began to tilt, and Zoro watched as the merchant ship defy gravity toward the top of the Upside-Down Mountain, picking up the Wind Blade and hanging it on his waist.
Seeing Zoro's movements, Robin activated his ability to put away the parasol and take off his glasses to see how he would act.
Are you going to cut that whale apart?
Zoro stood still, letting the sea breeze blow on his face, waiting for the wind to change from top to bottom to top, waiting for the merchant ship to descend from the upside-down mountain.
"What is an island whale?" The Blade of the Wind asked in Sauron's mind, "Is it delicious?" ”
"I don't know if it's good or not, but you definitely can't eat it." Closing his eyes to feel the breath of the wind, Sauron took the time to reply to the Wind Blade.
"Cut, it's not fun."
As his body leaned back and leaned forward, Zoro's hand slowly grasped the hilt of the Wind Blade.
The speed of the ship became faster and faster, and the merchant ship began to remember the exclamations of the people, as if it had seen something terrible.
Slowly opening his eyes, Zoro stared directly at the huge black shadow not far ahead, and found the "gap" between the black shadow and the red earth continent on the left side of the merchant ship.
If it had been the Merry back then, it might have been easy to pass, but now that the merchant ship is so bloated and huge, it will be a little difficult to change direction safely when it is so fast.
The sailors were still changing direction urgently, but someone below was already preparing to use a cannon salvo to make an emergency brake, and Sauron knew that the time had come, holding the Wind Blade in his right hand and the hilt of the three generations of Onitoru in his left hand.
"Two Knife Streams...... kicked the ground with both feet, and Zoro's body appeared in mid-air.
With his blades unsheathed, Zoro stared at the cliff ahead of him, his waist flipped in mid-air.
At the same time, the two knives in his hands waved, and two magnificent crescent-shaped sword lights flew towards the cliff.
"Seven hundred and twenty troubled phoenix!"
"Boom ——————"
A loud bang sounded, and everyone on the ship, who had already been attracted by the sword light when it appeared, looked over and found that the cliffs of the hard Red Earth Continent had been cut off, just to make room for merchant ships to pass by.
Robin's beautiful big eyes were also full of surprise at this time, and the scene in front of her was a little different from what she imagined.
Heavy cliff fragments fell into the sea, making huge splashes. Rab, the island whale, also let out a deafening roar at this time, as if he was frightened by Sauron's slash, and his huge body began to sway and sink, apparently trying to hide in the sea.
