Chapter 138: Passing through the Land of Flowers
The next morning, as soon as Charlotte Mousse had eaten breakfast, she came to the long-awaited "big head" and bent down into his mouth.
After all, the "big head" is a real big head with a "radius of several meters", and the space in that mouth is spacious enough for Charlotte Mousse, an 8-year-old (just past the New Year), to even lie down and sleep in it.
Anyway, there is a further improved gyro locator guidance, and there will be no mistakes before flying to the West Sea......
However, the scenery along the way is not easy to see, because with the fastest speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour of the "big head", if the gap between the teeth is a little larger, the violent cold wind can blow Charlotte Mousse to the heart......
After more than a year of running-in, the current "big head" has become much more mature than the beginning, not only the problem of "talking" has been basically changed, but also the work is more reliable:
Not only does he not need to worry about him suddenly opening his mouth and throwing the master Mousse to death, but when Mousse needs to talk to him, he even needs to knock it in his mouth casually, and the "big head" will cleverly stop and wait for the master's instructions.
For example, lean forward a little so that Mousse can spill his boy urine outside and see who is lucky enough to win the jackpot......
And in some cases, the "big head" will also take the initiative to lower the altitude to approach the sea or the ground, and there is no need for the instructions of the owner of the mousse, such as when you need to ask for directions......
The Great Voyage was really not too wide, and Charlotte Mousse and his "big head" flew through the windless belt that morning into the West Sea, which she had never set foot in.
But the latter is much bigger, and even if the chart markings of the West Sea are still clear, Charlotte Mousse, who entered this sea for the first time, will not be able to find her destination O'Hara without asking a word.
Because the first country Mousse passed through was the country of flowers, which was still very closed, even the big·mom pirates, who claimed to be the number one in the intelligence industry, did not have a clear and accurate map of the whole country, and the complete map of the West Sea published by the world government only showed the coastline and the few other treaty ports that were open to the outside world.
Although Mousse knew that O'Hara was to the west of the Flower Country, and could theoretically be found all the way west, the problem was that the land where the Flower Country was located was not as big as ordinary!
If the starting point is on the other side, and from there all the way to the west, it can even deviate thousands of kilometers from O'Hara, and if you only know that if you go all the way west with your head stuffy, there is a high probability that you will rush out of the boundary of the West Sea......
It is a bit inappropriate to call such a vast area of land an "island", but considering the fact that the world's oceans occupy a much larger area than the earth, it is actually completely possible to call it a "continent".
In fact, the vast land where the Flower Country is located is the only continent in the world where a large number of humans live, and the Flower People call it the "Loess Continent"!
According to the map published by the world government, there are only two countries on the Loess Continent, but it is likely that no less than half of the world's population is concentrated, of which the country of flowers alone is said to have more than 30 million!
Obviously, the latter is a typical continental country that looks out of place in the context of the One Piece world's island nations.
However, Mousse has always been very close to it, because the country of flowers looks very similar to Huaxia, a mainland country, a large population, using square characters, and so on......
But after going deep into the inland and seeing that the people had combed a "pig's tail" on the back of their heads, Mousse's mood became a little mixed, "It's like China, but it's a pity, it's like the late Qing Dynasty, the most closed, backward, decaying and weak Chinese ......"
"No, the weakness should not have reached the level of the late Qing Dynasty, after all, this is a world where great power belongs to itself, no matter how corrupt the imperial court is, no matter how backward the technology is, as long as there are strong people in charge, it is still a world power that cannot be underestimated......"
As soon as Mousse spoke, he immediately corrected his mistake, after all, even after more than twenty years of weakness, the Eight Treasure Water Army of the Flower Country still has good strength, and there are at least a few pirates of this strength in the Flower Country.
Considering that the country of flowers is a continental country rather than a maritime country, it is said that the strong should also be mainly distributed in the interior, so that its force is even more considerable.
However, the country of flowers, which has such a military force, seems to be not much stronger than the late Qing Dynasty in history according to Mousse's knowledge of the foreign affairs in recent years, what is the reason for this?
Mousse was very curious about this, but he still suppressed his curiosity, after all, the country of flowers can come back in the future, and if he lingers here for too long and delays the business of going to O'Hara, he may never have the opportunity to go to O'Hara......
However, Lu always has to ask, but the people of the country of flowers are so frightened that they flee after seeing the appearance of the "big head......
"That's too much fuss, isn't it?" As soon as Mousse had such an idea, he immediately thought of the plot of "One Piece" and the people of the Middle Sea were also panicked when they saw the Devil Fruit ability for the first time......
"Maybe it's because I've been staying in the new world where Devil Fruits are most abundant, or the kingdoms where there are countless Homitz that are especially magical, and all kinds of people I usually see are not surprised by all kinds of strange things, and for a while I forget how normal people should react......"
Mousse shook his head a little speechlessly, but after such a small tidbit, he could understand a little bit why the countries on the Great Voyage regarded the people of the four seas as uninformed hillbillies......
After that, Mousse changed his strategy, let the "big head" hide in the distance, and went down to ask people himself, and finally had the courage to ask questions without running, but he soon discovered two new problems......
Unlike the setting in the One Piece anime, the common language of this real world is some kind of "Esperanto", or "lingua franca", which seems to have little to do with the languages of the earth.
The language is widely spoken in almost all countries, and even if you still speak your own language in more remote places, you can usually find someone who can speak the lingua franca and it is not difficult to communicate.
But the country of flowers is really worthy of its reputation as "closed", not only the whole country still uses its own unique language, but also there are a large number of dialects within the territory, which are so different from each other that they are like completely different languages......
What Mousse learned before coming was only the "official dialect" of the country of flowers, and the level was not high enough because of the time and teachers, so it was hard to listen.
What made Mousse frown even more was that none of those flower people knew what "O'Hara" was......
