Chapter 44: The Terror Ghost Sails Upside Down Mountain

David Jones and his party returned to the vicinity of the Horror Spectre and looked at the harbor that looked like shredded pieces of paper, and knew what kind of battle had taken place before.

They stepped on the creaking springboard jutting out of the ship and returned to the Terror Ghost, where Bucky was the first to greet him.

"Captain, welcome back." He smirked his red nose, round and reflective, "I've successfully repelled the enemy, killed their leader, and successfully defended the Terror Ghost. ”

Although David Jones knew the truth and that the Terror Ghost had more to protect Bucky, he nodded and said, "Good job." ”

Then, he turned to look at the octopus Hachi: "Call the manatee moo." ”

"Yes......" Octopus Yaqiang endured the pain, lying on the side of the boat with six hands, and shouted towards the sea, "Moo...... Moo moo ......"

After a while, the sea was rippling.

Then, a huge black shadow appeared, and with a bang, the waves splashed, and the manatee exposed his upper body, looking condescendingly at the Terror Ghost.

It wasn't the first time Bucky had seen a sea beast, but he was startled by the sudden appearance of the behemoth, and his head flew out.

Manatee Moo first saw the octopus Hachi, and couldn't help but show a look of wanting to get closer, and then saw David Jones, and immediately trembled.

It slowly dives to the bottom of the ocean.

When its horns were about to sink into the sea, the octopus Hachi shouted anxiously, "Moo, come back!" Don't be afraid, I made a deal with Captain David Jones and he won't hurt us. ”

After a while, the manatee moo half of its head was exposed, quietly observing the scene above the Terror Ghost.

"Tell it." "Underneath the ship, there's an abyssal whirlpool, and there's plenty of space there to accommodate it. You keep it inside, and the boat will take it with you. ”

Although Hachi the Octopus was slow to understand Captain Davy Jones's words, he still had the ability to repeat the story as it was.

Manatee Moo is afraid of David Jones, but he has full trust in Octopus Hachi.

Therefore, when Octopus Hachi relayed Davy Jones's words and reassured it repeatedly, it slowly dived to the bottom of the Horror Ghost, and was swallowed up by the abyss whirlpool.

When it opened its eyes in the abyss, it realized that it had come to another world, as if there was a small ocean in the abyss.

Countless fragments of the broken hull floated upwards from time to time, merging into the Terror Ghost, and countless limb fragments sank to the bottom of the sea, feeding the strange fish here.

All in all, it became the new home of manatee moo.

After confirming that Manatee Moo had entered the abyssal vortex, David Jones set sail on the Terror Ghost again.

A cloud of sea fog enveloped the ship, flooding the ship and making the trace of the Terror Ghost disappear.

The Terror Ghost sailed out of the vast offshore waters of the island where the village of Cocoa West is located, and headed for the deep sea under the white fog that blocked the view.

The direction of this voyage undoubtedly pointed to the entrance of the great route, the Upside-Down Mountain.

A day and night later.

Taking off her wide-brimmed white hat and her black hair, Al Rita spread out a yellowed chart on a round table with many spiral tree patterns, and poked the tip of her index finger at the exact location of the upside-down mountain.

She summarized some of the information she had investigated, plus the experience of Bucky and Octopus Hachi who had been on the Great Voyage for a while, and explained it to everyone.

"There are a total of five rivers in the upside-down mountains of the Red Earth Continent, four of which are formed by pouring seawater from the four major oceans and washing them up the mountains, and finally the currents converge into the fifth channel, which is the river that leads directly to the great shipping route."

Octopus Hachi, who was wrapped in bandages around his body, sat on a chair, stretched his neck, and looked at the chart seriously, even if he didn't understand it very well.

When he followed Ah Long to the East China Sea, he took the deep-sea route, and he had not yet walked this wonderful road on the sea, so he was quite curious about it.

"After coming down from the upside-down mountain, it is the great voyage." Yarrita continued.

"There, the wind and currents will become disorderly, and the climate and environment will become more and more harsh, and it is easy to get lost if you sail with intuition and experience. For this reason, I suggest that the first thing to do after entering the Great Voyage is to buy a 'record pointer'. ”

The record hand can be understood as a higher compass, suitable for the vagaries of the great route.

As long as you stay on one island long enough, the recording hand can grab the magnetism of the island ahead and correctly guide the crew to the next island.

"It would be nice if I could walk in the windless zone." Bucky sat back in his chair, his hands on the back of his head, his red nose cocked, and he looked like a hanger, "It's a pity that this is the lair of giant sea kings, and even if the ship gets close, it is easy to be dragged to the bottom of the sea." ”

The windless strip flanks the great shipping route, cleverly blocking its direct route to the four seas.

The climate here is quite stable, that is, as the name suggests, "no wind", and generally ships without power and no way to defend against Neptunes will not approach the windless zone.

David Jones thought of a windless belt and found a way to catch a giant sea king.

However, considering that the abyss at the bottom of the horror ghost ship was stuffed into a sea king, Moo did not have much room to move, and he had no way to tame the sea kings for the time being, so he had to give up.

To deter the sea kings, you can use his domineering domineering spirit that he has for a while and has for a while, and if he domesticates for a long time, he has to find another way.

Chloe pushed his glasses and didn't say anything, he didn't know much about the Great Voyage, only a few sporadic rumors.

Aretta paused, and continued, "With the recording pointer, it will guide one of seven fixed routes, and by following this route, we will be able to complete the first half of the great voyage, 'Paradise.'" ”

Although the Great Voyage is also called the "Pirate Graveyard", such a place, the first half of which is called "Paradise", is quite paradoxical, but understandable.

Because compared to the second half of the Great Voyage - "New World", the first half is indeed a paradise for pirates, as long as you have a certain strength and luck, it is enough to gain a foothold here.

Countless pirates who have died in the new world will choose to return to paradise, either give up being pirates, or wait in hibernation for the time to return to the new world.

And the junction of Paradise and the New World is the Red Continent.

"The 'Fish-Man Island' that the captain wants to go to is at the end of the paradise, the beginning of the new world, under the deep sea of this red earth continent."

Arrita told her all the information she had asked for by virtue of her beauty, and then sat down.

Next, Octopus Hachi, who is more familiar with Fish-Man Island, took over the topic.

"Fish-Man Island is down there." Unexpectedly, Octopus Hachi said very briefly, as if he couldn't figure out the situation himself, "The 'Flying Dutchman' is also down there." ”

David Jones did not hide from the crew that he wanted to go to Fish-Man Island and take the Flying Dutchman.

As for what the crew would think of the relationship between his current name as "Hades of the Deep" and the Flying Dutchman, he didn't care.

It's not that Octopus Hachi doesn't care or think about it, but he doesn't understand the situation: "Captain, I actually know Vander Dyken, I can talk to him when the time comes, and see if he can give you the broken ship." ”

"Do you know the current captain of the Flying Dutchman?" David Jones didn't care about Octopus Hachi's rudeness, he knew that Octopus Hachi was so natural, "What kind of person is he?" ”

"It's hard to talk." Octopus Xiaoba scratched the back of his head with one arm and his back with two arms, "Ah Long also invited him to come to the East China Sea with us at that time, but he refused, saying that he did not want to be Ah Long's subordinate. ”

The Fishman who doesn't want to be subservient to others is barely worthy of the Flying Dutchman, but I hope that he can keep the Flying Dutchman for me before I arrive on Fish-Man Island.

David Jones thought as he nodded.

"Ahh Octopus Hachi suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Captain, I remember that on our fish-man street, there was a young boy named 'Hody Jones', who had the same name as you, Captain. Coincidentally, do you know each other? ”

Hody Jones?

"I don't know him." David Jones shook his head and asked with some curiosity, "What kind of man is he?" ”

"He was very respectful and adored of our former bosses, Fisher Tiger and Aaron, and often came to us to ask about them."

Fisher Tiger? A new name has come out.

David Jones didn't follow up this time, after all, only Vander Dyken's intelligence was valuable to him.

However, Chloe, Yarrita, and Bucky all had different expressions when they heard the name "Fisher Tiger".

In particular, Bucky, who had been to the Great Voyage, nodded knowingly after a vague glance at the sun mark on the forehead of the octopus Hachi.

This Fisher Tiger once climbed the Red Continent with his bare hands to the "Holy Land of Mary Joa" above to free slaves of different races, and his heroic deeds have long been spread throughout the great voyage and the four seas.

Even the most vicious pirates, it's hard not to admire his behavior of declaring war on the world government, but because he did this, the end is quite miserable.

This is the end of their discussion today, and they have basically sorted out the routes that are about to open, and they will make all preparations for this.

The octopus Hachi is still recuperating in the room as a wounded, but when it is time to eat, he will go to the side of the boat and call for the manatee to moo out and feed it.

Some of the food was caught from the sea by Chloe, and some was purchased by Yarrita in a small town passing by.

Occasionally, Moo Moo will also hunt for "snacks" on his own, bringing fresh meat to the horror ghost.

In addition to shopping for food, fresh water, alcohol, tobacco, clothing, and more, Yarrita also helps Bucky buy the items on the list.

Bucky uses these purchased tools, metals, and powders, sometimes to make his Bucky bullets, and sometimes to maintain and strengthen Arrita's iron rod, Chloe's cat's claws, and Octopus Kohachi's newly purchased knife.

Klick's armor had been dismantled by him, and he had figured out the principles of various small mechanisms.

In this cycle of sea drifting and harbor mooring, the Horror Ghost is getting closer and closer to Upside Down Mountain.
