Boom Boom –

Dark clouds crushed the sky and made it breathless; In the rolling thunder, lightning constantly swam in the dark clouds, and finally gathered into a dazzling thunder light, which cracked down fiercely.

Crackling!

At this moment, the heavens and the earth were dyed with a layer of luster, as if this electric light came to life and wandered above all things.

The deafening thunder exploded, and the falling electric light traveled in all directions, like thousands of silver snakes dancing enchantingly, making Rosie, who stood at the top of the mast with his long knife erected as a lightning rod, dazzling.

"Whew~~"

Spit out a puff of green smoke, Rossi, whose hair stood on end, moved his paralyzed body, looked up at the sky, and when the next two lightning bolts cracked, he used the three generations of ghosts to absorb these natural thunders.

Dark clouds, lightning and thunder!

The waves are rough and the waves are high!

The great voyage showed its terrifying side, and the waves rose and fell layer by layer, making the huge Don Quixote like a leaf, floating and sinking in this vast ocean.

“@%￥#！”

Torrebol on the deck shouted in dialect, which roughly means 'awesome'.

"Pika, watch the spinnaker!"

"We went off course and started to turn. Virgo—"

At the helm, Dover keeps an eye on the recording pointer in his hand, in the great course, the waves will deceive you, the wind will deceive you, and even the position of the sun and stars will deceive you, only the 'recording pointer' will faithfully point to the destination.

Under the busyness of everyone, the Don Quixote broke through this stormy area of thunder and lightning without danger. There is a howling cold wind blowing in the sky! In an instant, the water on the deck quickly solidified and turned into ice.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

Diamanti stretched out his hand, and flakes of crystal clear snow fell in his palm, and soon turned into goose feather snow.

"It was lightning and thunder just now, and now it's snowing?"

Holding the third generation of Onitoru in his hand, Rosie, who acts as a 'lightning rod' on the top of the mast and exercises 'lightning resistance' by the way, leaps down and lands on the deck where the snow has begun to accumulate.

"Bring a shovel and clear the snow."

After entering the great route, everyone can be regarded as an 'eye-opener'. Compared with extreme weather such as icebergs and sudden thunderstorms, blizzards are just pediatrics.

When everyone began to shovel snow, Peake 'hit' the main mast, and his whole body merged into the mast, and then quickly 'swam' upward, and after reaching the top of the mast, he took out his binoculars and began to be on alert.

It didn't take long for the wind and snow in the sky to suddenly close, and the scorching sun was high again.

"Is this the Great Route?"

Jorah, who had just come out of the kitchen, looked at the steaming spicy food in her hand and decided to go back and switch to a cold drink.

"That's right, this extremely changing climate alone can weed out ordinary people who are not physically fit enough."

Rossi put down the shovel in his hand, and the world has vividly interpreted 'survival of the fittest'.

"A creature that can adapt to the great route has a naturally strong physique—"

At this time, the lookout Peake 'swam' down the mast.

"There's a strange vortex ahead,"

"Strange whirlpools?"

Rosie, who took the telescope, looked suspiciously in the direction pointed by Pique, how to say that he is also a long-time seafarer, what a whirlpool-

"This... I haven't seen it yet. ”

A few hundred meters away from Don Quixote, there was a huge whirlpool: Rossi alone had a diameter of more than two hundred meters.

Vortices at sea are usually caused by two opposing currents, some are caused by submarine earthquakes, monsoons, and of course, there are also small vortices formed by islands and coasts.

But the whirlpool in front of me is obviously different, in the whirlpool current, there are huge fins constantly passing at high speed, as if some giant beast is swimming in the sea, thus causing this huge whirlpool!

"Prepare for battle, we've met the 'sea monkeys'."

Rosie, who held the position of 'chief of staff' in the family, naturally could not enter the great route without making any preparations, and the logbook he collected, coupled with his knowledge of the world, allowed him to immediately confirm the 'identity' of this vortex.

Sea monkeys, a sea beast.

The body size is between 20 meters ~ 30 meters.

This sea beast likes to stir up waves, roll up whirlpools, and destroy ships on the sea: not for anything, but for pure fun.

"Uh-haha, just a sea beast."

Drawing the extra-long Western sword in his hand, Diamanti took a slashing stance.

"Just let me kill them with a flying slash!"

“··· Are you sure that the flying slash you have just mastered will be able to take out sea monkeys that are weakened by sea water and are over 20 meters in size? ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Although he complained so much, Rosie himself pulled out three generations of ghosts.

"It's time to practice your long-range attacks."

Rumble!

It was the youngest of the crowd, Gladius, who was the first to strike, and in the smoke of gunpowder from the artillery, a wave mixed with red suddenly exploded in the whirlpool a few hundred meters away.

"Well done—" As Guradius's cannon descended, the huge vortex in the distance suddenly increased in speed! The rapid expansion of the diameter caused the Don Quixote to slant in that direction.

"Demon Slash Flying Break!"

The three generations of ghosts in Rossi's hand swept out, and a giant sword qi dozens of meters long flew out, crackling into the vortex with a black-red light.

"Half Moon: Funeral!"

Diamanti's muscles were also tense, and he reluctantly waved the extra-long Western sword made of heavy gold in his hand, and an emerald green flying slash also shot out.

It's just that it's smaller than Rosie, and it doesn't have the black and red ghost aura of rotting flesh and bones.

"Ferver, Holy Murder Bullet!"

Wrapping the armament color around the index finger, the extreme compression of the armament color made Dover's fingers glow with a layer of metallic light, and then let the lines of the fingertips turn into bullets and pop out reluctantly-

Burst!

A ray of light swept across the sea and instantly hit a sea monkey in the water, but...

"This attack doesn't do much against enemies with huge sizes."

While Rossi was speaking, Jorah next to him had already taken a step back, and after making a charged movement, the crystal slipper on his foot suddenly kicked forward:

"Arashik!"

The vacuum rippled like a flying slash and turned into a crescent-shaped light that flew out against the sea, and then tore the water apart with a pop, accompanied by a scream.

- As for the place where Rossi and Diamanti flew and slashed down before, two huge corpses had already floated.

The lower body is a fish, and it looks like a seal that has been magnified more than ten times, but it has a monkey's face, and it can only be said that this world is really full of wonders.

"Hey, hey, I'll leave it to you."

Torrebol, who had been trained to be round and burly, sat back, slime forming a chair.

Although he is not without long-range means: throwing slime out and then igniting it to use as an 'incendiary bomb'.

But it was completely useless to deal with targets in the sea, so he decided to paddle lazy.

"You're at the helm,"

In vain, Dover pushed his sunglasses and shoved the rudder and recording pointer to Torrebol, while behind him there was a large number of silk threads winding rapidly:

"Platinum Star!"

The purple armor muscular warrior flew out, although it was called the 'Platinum Star', but this was just Rosie's bad taste, and the range naturally couldn't be only a mere C.

Under the control of Dover's closed eyes and concentration, the 'Platinum Star' composed of threads flew above the vortex, and then exerted a force that surpassed the 'Force Speed Double A', and with a wave of one hand, transparent silk threads on the five fingers were derived.

"Five-color line!"

The remotely controlled platinum star five fingers swiped down, and the sea surface was torn out five cracks.

Although it was smoothed out by the swirling sea water in the next second, among the large red blood stains that soon appeared below, a lifeless sea monkey surfaced, rising and falling in the direction of the whirlpool.

"Squeak... Creak!

”

In a panicked cry, the sea monkeys, who had been hit hard, immediately gave up their plan to roll up the whirlpool and overturn the merchant ship,—— the 'two-legged walking monkeys' standing on the ship were too strong.

As the sea monkeys descend into the sea, the whirlpool slowly disappears and the crisis is resolved.

"Very well, the first round of sailing is over."

Put away the three generations of ghosts, although the extreme weather and huge sea beasts of the Great Route are very dangerous, but for the current Don Quixote family, these are not challenges.

"Next, it's trimming... No, the first challenge awaits us. ”

Following Rossi's gaze, everyone first saw a black dot; As the black dots continue to enlarge, it is the flag at the top of the fortress; Immediately after that, the appearance of an island gradually appeared at sea level, and the defensive structures surrounding the island appeared.

"Colosseum, it's here."

The smell of blood wafted from the wind, and even if they didn't have to see and smell the domineering, everyone could clearly feel the dangerous aura emanating from the island ahead.

"Be careful, since it's called 'Colosseum Island', it's definitely not a good place."

As the Don Quixote approached the island, the extreme weather and sea beasts disappeared, and only the slight waves shook the hull, making the whole sea seem like a comfortable bed for resting.

The island in front of us is covered with foliage and dense forests, and it looks like a 'summer island'.

The weather on the sea of the Great Route changes all the time, but the island is fixed in the four seasons of 'spring', 'summer', 'autumn' and 'winter', and you can know the climate of an island just by looking at the vegetation.

"yes, it looks interesting."

Dover swept around the island in front of him: a long fence surrounded by lush vegetation.

However, it is not a stone wall, but a mixed structure of earth and wood, consisting of logs that are two or three people tall. Each log was unusually thick and sharp, and it was patrolled by men with flintlock pistols, making it look murderous.

"What's the point?"

"The family has breached a stronger fortress than this, the port."

Rossi shook his head at Guladius, who had pulled on his mask and covered the lower half of his face.

"Don't underestimate this island, the real power is not the power on the surface, but in the city."

As the Don Quixote approached, a small patrol boat approached.

"Guests from afar, please come here!"
