One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Downstream is coming," Charles said.

"Received!" Alder looked very reliable. He put his hands on the rudder, trying to adjust the bow of the boat to the direction of the downdraft.

As a result, it turned and did not rotate.

He let out a "huh" and tried again, but the rudder still didn't move.

"Hey, hey! Something is wrong, brothers!"

Everyone looked up at him.

Alder shouted anxiously: "The rudder blade seems to be stuck!"

The rudder blade is an important part connected with the rudder to control the direction of the ship.

If they can't get on the downcurrent, they will be thrown out entirely, and the bubble film will definitely be gone, regardless of whether the ship is damaged or not!

A group of people with devil fruit abilities are in the sea, is it too late to make a will now?
"The rudder blade seems to be entangled in seaweed!" said Ace, who hurried over from the stern.

"Fortunately, it's not a sea beast, otherwise the bubble wrap wouldn't last long." Demon breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go and clean it up." Teuton can move in the sea without bubbles, so he rushed out of the bubbles immediately and swam to the back of the boat.

Mi Tian was surprised: "Can this bubble go out?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is still very strong." Colin said: "It's not a problem to drill someone out."

Teutonic was very fast, and after cleaning up the things that were entangled in the rudder blades, he returned to the ship.

"It's not seaweed, it's rope." He threw several long cables onto the deck.

Now the depth of the seabed is more than 7000 meters, and the visibility is very low. It is normal for Ace to see it wrong.

The shipwreck rate to Fishman Island reached [-]%, and there may be many wrecks of shipwrecks floating in places that cannot be seen around. Although the chance of cables being entangled with the rudder blades is rare, it is not impossible.

"Just throw it away, why do you want to take it back?" Latin hugged his chest, disgusted with these thick cables that were soaked in seawater and entangled with shells.

"How should I put it, these cables are quite strange." Teuton scratched his head, "Actually, I also discovered this."

He unfolded his palm to reveal a small bag that he hadn't lost, and the bag opened to reveal the beautiful crystals inside.

"A string is attached to this bag, and it contains aquamarines."

"Aquamarine?"

Everyone came forward, and Gary turned on the lights.

Aquamarine is as beautiful as blue sea water, and the clear and transparent crystals are like solidified water droplets.

Through it, people can't help but think of the depth and clarity of the sea.

Since Alder and Charles were at the console, they couldn't get close to look at it, and they were quite anxious.

But after being glared at by Perry, the two continued to control the direction honestly.

Tang En said: "It is said that there is a group of mermaids who like to dress themselves with aquamarines living in the deep sea. When they encounter danger, as long as they expose the gems to the sunlight, they can gain infinite power."

"That's why aquamarine is also called the sea god's stone. Merchant ships who go out to sea like to carry this gemstone to pray for the protection of the sea."

"However." Tang En's words turned a corner, "But that's a very old legend. We all know now that mermaids live on Murloc Island, and aquamarines don't have infinite power, so now only a small number of merchant ships still retain this habit, such as pirates, who no longer believe in such legends."

"Can I give you the next one?" Oden spread his hands and caught an aquamarine that Teuton gave him.

"So why is there a little bag of aquamarines on the cable?" Ace asked.

"It's a gift from David Jones!"

"Think too much, Jones will never give his treasure to others."

"Maybe the shipwrecked merchant ship just believed in this legend and tied the gemstone to the cable?"

"Isn't it a bit strange to be tethered to a cable?"

"Maybe there is a treasure ship nearby hahaha, let's go treasure hunting!" Gray picked up a gem and put it in front of his eyes, "The direction the pirate is heading is the direction where the treasure is~"

"It's also the direction where the danger lies." Perry snatched the gemstone from Gray's hand, and said angrily, "Anyway, go to Fishman Island first!"

Everyone talked endlessly, but no matter how they discussed, there was no final and reasonable explanation.

"I really want to participate in the discussion too~" Alder just listened with his ears up, which couldn't satisfy his curiosity at all, but he is also the helmsman, so he needs to always pay attention to the direction of the bow, "I really want to."

Having said that, the voice stopped in summer.

Charles wondered: "What's the matter, what do you want to do?"

"No, Gary, shine the lamp over there again." Alder pointed in the direction. Just now Gary shook the lamp casually, and a very strange thing was illuminated.

Gary followed the direction of his finger, and the strong light penetrated the darkness of the sea, illuminating a large area.

There are huge jagged coral clumps, and in the coral clumps, a huge sea monster has half its head exposed.

Although this sea monster is larger than ordinary sea monsters, it is just a sea monster after all.

Everyone who thought it was in danger breathed a sigh of relief after seeing its appearance clearly, complaining dissatisfiedly that Alder made too much fuss.

"No, I mean behind it!" Alder said angrily, "It's the shadow behind it that moved!"

shadow?Moved?
After shining the searchlight again, Gary stopped for a while deliberately. Behind the coral bushes, there was indeed a large black and impenetrable shadow. If it was a living thing, it would be too huge.

Just when everyone was about to lose patience, and Alder felt that he was wrong, the shadow suddenly moved slowly, and the surrounding sea water immediately changed its descending law, and the waves went against the current.

The huge sea monster before was rolled by the current, and a mutilated and shriveled head fell from the branch of the coral bush and moved with the current.

The Blacks swayed with the sway of the sea, the hull tilted, and everyone fell on the side of the ship. As the shadows swayed, the light that was originally blocked by itself and the coral bushes slowly appeared.

It was a huge lantern monkfish, and thanks to the light emitter on top of its head, they could already see their surroundings clearly.

A pair of eyes bigger than the Blacks slowly turned a few times, and finally locked on the toy-like brig in front of them.

"Hey, hey, this is no joke."

Although it is normal to encounter sea monsters in the deep sea, this is the only way to go to Fishman Island. I have heard of encountering sea monsters, but I have never heard of encountering such huge sea monsters. How unlucky it must be to encounter sea monsters that can swallow them in one bite.
