Chapter 116: Route Selection

"Do you see the cliff ahead?"

"That's the Red Clay Continent."

On the Don Quixote, Rossi pointed to the towering red cliff ahead and introduced it to the others.

The crimson cliff in front of you that can't see the top is like a giant snake that divides the world, and human beings are like ants in front of this continent that extends infinitely to both sides of the sea... No, not even dust.

"Wow, that's high-"

"Reaching into the clouds... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Anyone who sees the 'Red Earth Continent' for the first time will feel that anyone will feel small in the face of a giant continent that towers into the sky and circles the world.

One piece, all the worlds are one.

Rossi looked up at the cliff that was hidden in the clouds and separated the world, and it was hard to imagine what could separate him.

Even if it's a so-called 'nuclear bomb', it's just an itch for this red continent at most, right?

"And how are we going to get through this continent?"

Faced with Guladius's doubts, Dover, who was at the helm, casually replied while observing the chart in his hand:

"We're going to get into the Great Route from Mount Levi's, and that's the only place where we can get into the Great Route."

Of course, if you leave from the Great Route, you will not take this waterway, also known as the 'Upside-Down Mountain', but rely on the special 'ropeway' below the Red Earth Continent to pull through the windless zone.

However, because it can only move along the cliffs of the Red Earth Continent, the efficiency is naturally not high.

This is how the Pinta, the Rossi and Dover aboarded, left the Holy Land.

"Here, everyone stand firm!"

As the Don Quixote approached the towering Red Continent, a canal carved out of the cliff and slanted upwards at 45 degrees came into view.

Because of the climate of the 'Winter Island', the water from all over the world is rushing towards it at the same time, creating four 'upward' turbulent canals, which can allow boats to climb to the peak of a thousand meters, which is one of the wonders of this world!

Boom –

The Don Quixote sailed headlong into the 'canal' on the hillside, and was carried by the huge current, speeding towards the top of the mountain.

No sails, no oars, all the waves push everyone to the top!

This kind of 'heaven and earth work together' refreshment made everyone on the deck can't help but open their arms, or cross their waists with one hand, or clasp their chests with both hands.

"Is this the great route, that's cool!"

The others were a little 'reserved', and the youngest, Galadius, shouted excitedly.

"Don't be careless, after the peak of the smooth sailing, it is the real difficult place."

Rossi's words made Jorah next to him nod,

"I've heard that half of the ships that enter the Great Route are folded at the entrance."

?!

These words made the others who were enjoying the rapid climb stunned, and then subconsciously put on a vigilant posture.

"That's right, we're about to face the first threat of the Great Route—"

Bang

Carried to the top of the mountain by the current, the Don Quixote was stunned, and after flying out of thin air for more than ten meters, it landed in the downward current, turning into a 45-degree dive downhill.

"Hahaha, you can still meet prey here!

At this time, a pirate ship also leaped from another canal next to it. Falling behind the Don Quixote, a large number of pirates hung from the cables, and the pirates armed with scimitars and flintlock pistols let out a wolf howl.

Because the Don Quixote was wearing a golden double dragon flag: there was no need to tell what the flag meant, as long as it wasn't a skull flag, it was prey for pirates.

At the same time, a roar like thunder came from ahead:

"Wave Oooooo

"What's that sound?"

Virgo frowned, not glancing at the pirate ship clamoring next to him.

"The howling of the wind doesn't quite look like it..."

The tall Diamanti looked ahead with his hands on the pergola, but his vision was obscured by the clouds.

"Dover, make a 'parachute' for the ship."

Although he didn't understand Rosie's intentions, Dover still slapped the deck with one hand:

"Line Line Speed Down!"

Brush, brush, brush~~

Countless threads flew out of Dover's fingers, but quickly spread to the stern of the Don Quixote. Extend, weave, wrap –

Soon, a huge 'parachute' took shape at the stern of the ship, holding in a large amount of air while slowing down the downward-diving Don Quixote.

"Rosie, the front is..."

As the Don Quixote descended the waterway, Dover's domineering look and perception of the 'object' in front of him.

"What's that?!"

"The Peaks... No, yes... It's a whale!

! ”

On the pirate ship next to him, there were bursts of terrifying shouts.

The clouds and mist dispersed, and there was no need to see or smell the domineering, and others could see the giant whales like mountains below.

The giant whale is preparing to hit the Red Earth with its scarred head, and if the current pushes the boat down the canal, it will surely crash into the giant whale and break its bones.

"The island whale is 400 meters tall, and this is the first challenge at the entrance of the great route."

Compared with the panicked pirates next to them, Rosie and the others were very determined.

"What kind of monster is this—"

"Damn, slow down, slow down!

The currents that converged from all over the world carried the ship downward, and the pirate ship next to it quickly overtook the Don Quixote, and then rushed towards the giant island whale blocking the way below.

Amid the roars, howls, curses, and the sound of artillery fire, most of the pirates deeply felt the despair of what it means to 'transport heroes to not be free'.

Bang

In the eyes of Rosie and the others, this pirate ship that had no way to 'brake' rushed straight down, and hit the head of the giant island whale at a super high speed, instantly bursting into a sky of sawdust, mixed with a pile of red meat sauce.

"Haha, welcome to the Great Route."

syllable

Rossi snapped his fingers, and the sound of a whale, which had been like a howling sea breeze and a long whistle, suddenly disappeared.

?!

The giant whale, which was as big as an island, paused and stopped crashing. The huge head turned from side to side, and the eyes larger than the Don Quixote were full of doubts.

As for the pirate ship that just crashed into it, it was like a person being dropped in the face by a leaf.

Nothing.

"Alright, let's get around it."

Rosie didn't have much thought about Rab the whale in front of him.

This whale followed the 'Lomba Pirate Ship' from the West Sea to the Great Route more than 20 years ago, because the Great Voyage was full of all kinds of sea kings, so the whale 'Rab', who was still very young at that time, was left here.

The 'Rumba Pirate Ship' and the whale made a vow to meet again here after a week of sailing.

However, more than 20 years have passed, and the once calf has grown to an exaggerated size of 400 meters tall, and it is a veritable 'island whale', but the pirate group agreed with it has still not appeared.

In order to help it find the 'Rumba Pirate Ship', the lighthouse keeper who was supposed to be here accepted Roger's invitation to work as a ship doctor on his ship.

Without the old man's communication, and not to mention whether Rab would be obedient or not, Rossi himself had no reason to be inexplicably involved with the island whale in front of him.

"Let's go,"

Drove past Rab, who had been silenced and had become dazed. Rosie snapped his fingers:

syllable

"Bo Oooo

The long voice of the giant island whale sounded behind him again, making the others can't help but turn their heads. It's just that in their eyes:

"How many people can eat such a big island whale?"

"It's a pity, if you have the storage capacity, you can sell it for a sum of money."

···

"Alright, this whale has a master."

Rosie didn't want to be hunted down by the Roger Pirates, more than one thing.

And:

"Everybody's here,"

Pulling out a chart and spreading it out on the deck, Rossi pointed to the seven curved routes on it.

"We're going to the 'City of Seven Waters' right now to find a shipwright and build a strong enough ship out of the 'Treasure Tree Adam' in the cabin."

Although the 'Don Quixote' under its feet is not bad, to be honest: with the strength of the Don Quixote family, the only difference between a few seconds and a few minutes is to dismantle this ship into ruins.

This ship is no longer enough to carry the increasingly strong Rossi and others.

"In the first half of the entire Great Route, there are seven routes that have been proven. To get to the City of the Seven Waters, we can choose between these three routes:"

The one on the right is the route of the future Straw Hats: Whiskey Mountain - Small Garden - Alabastan - Long Roundabout Island - Capital of Seven Waters.

(The Magnetic Drum and the Gaja/Sky Island were all unexpectedly arried, and there were originally two normal islands between Alabastan and Long Roundabout.) )

"The one on the left is a series of kingdoms that focus on the development of tourism, including Colosseum Island, Food Island, and Carnival Island..."

"This is good, this is it!"

As soon as Torrebol heard it, wouldn't it be a pity not to see the eating, drinking, and merrymaking in the new world?

"Hmmm..."

The others looked at each other, and most of them didn't care about the choice of route.

Anyway, any island is a novelty for them.

"What do you think, Dover?"

"Ferverford, since that's what everyone means—take this route."

It was clear that Dover was not only taking care of Torrebol, but also Bainisharna beside him: what about the woman who didn't like shopping and food?

"Well, since you've all said so."

Seeing Rosie neatly put away the chart and took out a record pointer, everyone suddenly felt a bad feeling in their hearts.

Wrong!

With Rossi's character, he should not have chosen this 'tourist' route. Or is it all in his expectation, what's so strange about this route?

"Rosie, there won't be any danger on this route..."

Facing Torrebol, who was nervous and questioning, Rossi looked up at the sky with an innocent face.

"You chose the route, and you shouldn't ask me if it's dangerous, right?"

??

Sure enough, there is danger!

"Ahem, Rosie. Don't scare them—"

Dover, who coughed, spoke, and Rosie didn't sell it.

"It's very simple, this route is in the hands of a certain 'big man': 'Thousand Appearances' Garmenio, one of the Seven Martial Seas!"

The Seven Martial Seas, recognized by the world government as a 'privateer' pirate, possess disastrous destructive power and a huge combat power comparable to that of the state.

To put it simply, it can be seen as a pirate 'co-opted' by the world government.

Of course, these sea thieves are arrogant guys, and the reason why they bear the title of the World Government's 'Seven Martial Seas' is mostly for some ulterior motives.

"'Thousand Looks' Gameño, who was once a crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates, a pirate with a bounty of 300 million Bailey."

tomato

"Because of an attempt to provoke infighting among the crew, he was removed from the list of the Whitebeard Pirates, and after escaping to the first half of the Great Route, he had to take refuge in the Navy."

Relying on the protection of the navy, he escaped from the pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Both in strength and fame, he is very strong, especially his Devil Fruit:"

Copy the fruit!

Not only can you copy a person's appearance, but you can also copy the ability of the other person. Moreover, it can preserve the ability and achieve the effect of multiple abilities.

"Although we have no conflict with the other party now, we must be on guard, and the other party may make a move against us."

After all, this Morale, who is good at camouflage drill camps, and the navy... Even the CP agency has a close relationship.

????

“··· Is it too late to switch to the other two routes? ”

In the face of Torrebol's inquiry, Rossi spread his hands and smiled.

"It's late!"
