Chapter 33: Twin Gorges
In the past half a month, I have indeed been a little aggrieved.
Because Orn has been entering the four seas as early as possible, so that the people of the Hundred Beast Pirates are completely unable to grasp their whereabouts.
The two only played on Fish-Man Island for half a day before setting off for the park again.
After coming to the park, the two did not stop at the shampoo land, and after hanging the flag of the Seven Martial Seas of Jinping, they relied on the record pointer to move forward.
During the process, I only stayed on the two small islands for about half a day because of food supplies.
Half a day is simply not enough time for Yamato to get out of seasickness, and he can't play any new and interesting projects.
So for Yamato, in the past half a month, she has almost no difference from being confined while sick, and it is normal for people to feel bored.
However, everything has disadvantages and advantages, and after this closed voyage for most of the month, her seasickness symptoms have been reduced a lot.
Although he still has general weakness and dizziness, at least the symptoms of nausea and vomiting have been greatly alleviated, and in a clear weather and a pleasant environment, he can already walk freely on the boat without the support of Orn.
…………
"Good...... It's amazing! Even though it's the second time I've seen it, I still can't believe that there is such a high mountain in the world! ”
About an hour later, the boat officially docked on the shore of the Twin Gorges.
As soon as the ship landed, Yamato staggered and stumbled towards the Red Earth Continent.
Reaching out and touching the rough rocks of the Red Clay Continent, and then looking up at the upside-down mountain that was shrouded in clouds and mist, not to mention the top of the mountain, and couldn't even be seen on the mountainside, Yamato's face couldn't help but show a childlike smile.
When he was in Chambord before, because Orn didn't want to cause trouble and was worried that Kaido's partner would inform Kaido of their appearance in Chambord, he sailed out of Chambord as soon as the two arrived at the port, so that Yamato could only take a look at the prosperous Chambord and the magnificent Red Earth Continent from afar.
Because of this, Yamato didn't talk to Orn for three days.
But now she can not only see from a distance, but also walk closer to take a closer look, and even touch the Red Clay Continent with her own hands, how can this not make her feel excited.
Unlike Yamato, who was completely attracted by the lighthouse and the Upside-Down Mountain, Orn immediately noticed the unassuming old man under the lighthouse, with an Indian headdress on his head.
Although he looks like an ordinary bad old man, Orn clearly knows his identity and background - the tower keeper of the Twin Gorges, the One Piece King Gore. D. Roger's ship doctor Colex.
"I always feel like I've seen ...... somewhere"
On the other side, Yamato, who had been excited, also noticed Colux, she stared at each other with a thoughtful expression, and said uncertainly after a while:
"Big pots?"
Colex had already noticed the strange man and woman who were coming in the opposite direction, and when he heard Yamato's soft muttering, his hand that had been flipping the newspaper couldn't help but pause, and there was obviously a little more curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Orn and Yamato.
In all the years he'd been through, only one person on board would have called him that—all thanks to some idiot samurai who loved to give people nicknames.
It's just that he hasn't been mentioned in almost twenty years since they arrived.
Finally, the old man couldn't hold back his curiosity and took the initiative to speak:
"Little girl, where did you hear about this nickname?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yamato suddenly became excited:
"It's really you?!"
As she spoke, she began to pull out the Ota Diary from the four-dimensional space pocket on her chest like Nami did.
The moment he saw the diary, a look of remembrance unconsciously appeared in Colux's eyes, and he spoke after a while:
"I haven't seen you for so many years, is that stupid guy in Ota okay?"
He ...... He's dead. Yamato hesitated for a moment, but explained everything that happened in Wano Country to Colex.
Listening to Yamato's narration, although Colex burst out with a good momentum at a certain moment, the momentum quickly disappeared, and instead let out a sigh with a sense of twilight:
"Everyone has his own fate, this may be the catastrophe of Mita."
The men on Roger's ship seem to have been influenced by Ralph Drew's observations, and they all believe in a kind of fatalism.
Influenced by this fatalism, they are reluctant to come forward to solve many things in the face of them, either allowing things to develop, or trying their best to plan and arrange, or no one is willing to stand up and solve the problem.
Orn didn't like it, but he didn't plan to say anything, it was their freedom to do what they wanted, and he couldn't interfere with their decisions.
"Don't talk about this, you obviously didn't come here to visit my bad old man."
Colux said, got up and walked to the shore and put his hand in the water, closed his eyes and felt for a moment, he opened his eyes and said:
"You're lucky, the reverse current will come in five days, and then you will be able to ride the current into the four seas."
Regarding the reverse current, there is no description in the original book, and Orn only heard about it from Jinping half a month ago.
Most of the time, the water flow of Upside Down Mountain maintains a single flow direction from all four seas to the paradise, but there will be brief reverse currents from time to time due to the influence of tides and cupola currents.
The timing of the current is completely random, sometimes as many as 10 times a year, and sometimes only once a year.
Except for Jinping and other fishmen who can sense and even manipulate ocean currents, only Colux, a tower keeper who has been stationed in the Twin Gorges all year round, can accurately judge the time of the appearance of reverse currents.
Hearing that there were still three days left to ride the reverse current into the four seas, Aoun and Yamato were very happy, Aoun was excited because he was about to enter the four seas to obtain a temporary period of stable development, while Yamato felt that the next three days he could finally get rid of the damn seasickness symptoms for a while, and briefly enjoy the joy of free movement.
…………
While waiting for the reverse current to appear, Orn and Yamato temporarily took up residence in the lighthouse of the Twin Gorges.
The first two days of life went well, but in the early morning of the third day, strange noises came from the sea.
"!!!Oooo
The penetrating cry woke Orn and Yamato from their slumber, and the two looked at each other, quickly dressed up, and ran out of the lighthouse.
Yamato behaved like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old secondary two boy, while Orn was much more calm, and he had already guessed who the owner of the voice was.
Sure enough, when the two of them came down from under the lighthouse, they saw a huge island whale with a body of more than 400 meters and a head full of scars hitting the Red Earth Continent in one fell swoop.
Compared to its massive size of four hundred meters, their small and medium-sized sailing ship was not even the size of the beast's eyes.
Island whale Rab...... Finally see it!
