Chapter 16: Leaping over the Upside-Down Mountain
In the original One Piece work, there are countless pirates who challenge the Four Emperors.
For example, the former Klockdahl challenged Whitebeard, Moria challenged Kaido, the supernova Urki challenged Big Mom, and Kidd challenged Redhead, which were mentioned in the comics but not drawn;
As for the drawing, there is a Kidd, Apu, and Hawkins alliance ready to challenge the redhead but was knocked out by Kaido; Luffy and Luo Alliance challenged Kaido and were also knocked out, Luffy made a big fuss on Dessert Island, and the three of Luroki teamed up to overthrow Kaido and Big Mom......
Except for the last one, which was won by Kaihang, the rest of the challengers lost badly, but Kira was not worried at all, because the magicians of "Fairy Tail" themselves were also hanging.
If you hang, you just don't panic!
"I remember the Four Emperors...... The four most powerful pirates in the world, right?"
Kira smiled and nodded, "yes! By analogy, at least to the extent of the entire Balaam Alliance, even comparable to the Albarez Empire!"
Hissββ!
It's terrifying?!
Gray and the others gasped, shocked by Kira's audacity.
Elusa frowned and asked, "But we don't have enough manpower, right?" Is it really good to go to war rashly? Our guild has never taken the initiative to go to war!"
"Uh-huh...... You don't have to worry about that! You can't trust the fighting power of those guys in the guild, but you can't help but believe in their ability to cause trouble."
Kira chuckled a few times and explained, "Most of the pirates in this world are not good people, and I can guarantee that as long as you see what those pirates do to ordinary people, you will definitely not be able to stop beating them up!"
Elusa stopped talking, and she wasn't going to comment until she saw it with her own eyes.
The rest of the people also have the same opinion, in their eyes, the pirates are the dark guild, not to mention the crusade under reasonable evidence, even if they are in a bad mood one day, it is normal to strike a blow.
"Which Four Emperors are you going to challenge?"
Choose one of the four, and each of them is strong, even if Kira's strength can be ranked in the forefront of the entire Aslant, but it is not so easy to eat all the power of the next Four Emperors.
Kira's answer, however, surprised a few people: "What else do you need to say? I'm definitely looking for the strongest one!"
"The Strongest...... Who is it??" Natsu, Elusa, and the others' eyes lit up instantly, and the term "strongest" provoked their competitiveness.
"Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!"
β¦β¦
Great Voyage, New World.
The white-bearded man with the hanging bottle slumped on his "throne" and looked at his sons with a worried expression.
[In view of the general environment,
Whitebeard was 66 tall, and even if he was sitting, he was twice the height of the nurse standing beside him, and he had just woken up with a trace of undetectable exhaustion in his eyes.
He is 72 years old this year, has been galloping the sea for decades, has a great reputation, has countless sons, and can be described as a generation of heroes, but the powerful power has its own price, and the side effects brought by the shock fruit have tortured his body to the depth.
Just now, Whitebeard had a dream, and he couldn't remember what the content of the dream was, but he knew that it was a long, long dream, as if he had gone through all his life, and there was even a scene of his own death.
Fortunately, Whitebeard didn't believe in dreams, so just three seconds after waking up, he left the feeling in the dream behind, and looked at the "sons" in front of him who were in the prime of life and full of energy, and he suddenly became happy like an ordinary old man.
"Where is Ace now?"
Hearing the inquiry, a man with a pineapple head and a lazy temperament walked over, he was the ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates and the captain of the first ship, the immortal bird fruit ability, Marco.
"I've been to Drum Island, and I've heard that Tiqi guy went there a few months ago and made a big fuss there
Tong."
"Drum Island...... I remember it was Winter Island near the entrance to the park, right? What is Paradise Titch doing there?" Whitebeard frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
A few months ago, Tiki's "son" who had followed him for more than 20 years stole the Devil Fruit and killed his partner and defected from the Pirates.
It was only a little over a month, but he felt like a long time had passed.
"According to Ace's message, it seems that Titch took a man there, and I think he must be recruiting crew."
Drum Island has always been famous for its medical skills, so Whitebeard immediately reacted, and Blackbeard must have recruited a not simple ship doctor there.
"So, didn't Ace catch up?"
"yes......"
Whitebeard was silent for a moment, and he suddenly remembered the dream of his death, which made his heart inexplicably irritable, and he faintly felt that something might happen to Ace this time.
In addition, there is a feeling of being targeted.
"Remind him to be more careful! Then, if there is no result within a month, come back immediately!"
"I see!"
β¦β¦
Upside down mountain, upside down mountain!
The Upside-Down Mountain, known as the entrance to the Great Passage, today attracts a magical airship that is unlike any other ship in the world today!
Upside down Mountain, also known as Reeves Mountain, is one of the two crossroads of the Red Continent and the Great Shipping Route.
Aside from the windless belts of danger and the abundance of giant sea kings, any ship from the four seas must pass through it if it wants to enter the great route.
The currents of the four seas break the physical wisdom of "water flowing downwards" and flow upwards despite gravity, forming an extremely incredible phenomenon that smashes the board of Newton's coffin, that is, "sea water climbing", where the currents converge into a shape similar to "*", and the currents that converge in one place flow down the great route.
It can be said that this is the only normal entrance to the great shipping route.
Just by listening, you can realize how dangerous this very unusual ocean current is, not to mention the turbulent sea water and the rocks on both sides, and even the storms and rain in the sky are not so easy to resist.
It is said that more than half of the ships that travel from the four seas to the Great Passage fall here every year, so the pirates who fled back to the Four Seas from the Great Voyage in disarray call this upside-down mountain the place where the nightmare began.
"Nightmares......"
"I don't have any waves in my heart, and I even want to laugh a little."
Kira operates a magic airship, slowly flying from the sky to the upside-down mountain along the current, drinking cold drinks, eating grilled fish, blowing the wind, and admiring the drastic changes in the red earth continent and the ocean currents along the way.
And the Hope, but not even a drop of water!
Compared to those pirate ships that fought desperately to enter the great voyage, Kira's Hope was like a hanging, taking shortcuts and getting stuck, and others could only look at him with envy, but there was nothing they could do about him.
Kira stood on the edge of the Hope and looked down, and suddenly said slowly, "Look, those poor ghosts down there who can make the ocean currents look like they can only be impotent and furious when they see Kryptonite players!"
Crowd: "......"
Is this guy sick?!
All the way was uneventful, Kira and the others entered the great route smoothly, and because they took the empty road, they did not encounter Rab who was crashing into the upside-down mountain.
Kira was a little disappointed at first, but after thinking about it, she felt ...... That's it.
"Ice Demon Silver World!
γ
"The Flame Dragon King's Roar!
γ
"Dragon Slayer Mystery, Shine Through, Sky Wear!
γ
With a few heavy shouts, a huge amount of magic covered the entire sky, and with the cooperation of Gray, Natsu and Wendy, one after another powerful magic forces were original
Hail, stormy, like a woman angry during her menstrual period, the extremely unstable sky forced a clear sunny day, and the scorching sun was shining.
As soon as the "Hope" entered the Great Voyage, it encountered strange weather, and the Great Voyage showed Kira and the others his horror - the bad weather that swallowed half of the ships.
Fortunately, this group of people are not vegetarians, and they perfectly solve the *** annoyance that requires a navigator + helmsman to solve.
"Sure enough, it's still a little more comfortable to look at on a clear sky. In other words, Wendy's strength has improved a lot~ Don't blow it or black, you're much more powerful than when Natsu was 14 years old!"
Wendy suddenly became shy, and a little excited: "Really?! Hey, hey, hey, ......."
"What did you say?! You're slandering me! I was definitely stronger when I was 14 years old!
γ
"Come on, Fire Dragon, do you think Kira's judgment will be wrong?" Eric smiled dismissively.
"That's it...... Wendy is about the same as when I was 14 years old, so she must be better than Natsu!"
On the airship, Natsu, Gray, and Eric start their daily conversation again, Lucy, Wendy, and Melti discuss the topic between the little girls, and Kira discusses the next route with Elusa and Urrutia.
"Kira, are we going straight to the Capital of the Seven Waters now?"
"Well...... Not really!"
Kira shook her head helplessly, "I don't have a record pointer of the Seven Waters City here, so I can only temporarily see if there are any charts for sale or direction in the vicinity, and then if we can find other partners on the way, we can go over and bring them back."
"Of course, if they want to take risks on their own for a while......
