Days in the world of pirates

Chapter 28 Picked up a navigator【For collection】

Lafayette, who was still somewhat confused, stood up, glanced at the golden bullet in Roddy's hand, a trace of violence appeared on his pale face, and then a touch of sadness appeared, and he stood silent on the deck.

It seems that some stories must have happened yesterday, and Rody didn't ask any questions. He shook off the blood on the bullet, looked at the mark on it, and immediately knew in his heart that this unlucky boy must have offended the Tianlongren , was shot, and then was thrown into the sea.

Casually stuffing the bullet into Lafayette's hand, Rody patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Our ship is going to the East China Sea, if you want to go with it, I remember you should be a good navigator , it will be your boat fare to take us to the East China Sea, how about it?"

Lafayette glanced at Roddy, then looked in the direction of Abbas Island and nodded.

Rody doesn't know much about Lafayette, but he and several other people's sailing skills can go around the world. It is really difficult to cross the Upside Down Mountain. With Lafayette's help, going to the East China Sea should be not a problem.

After sailing for a whole day, Lafayette, who hadn't shown up in the cabin, knocked on the door of Roddy's bedroom, and the first sentence he asked was very straightforward.

"Captain Roddy, what if you want to become pirates?"

Rody, who was lying on the table studying the chart, looked up and replied: "At present, we have this plan. We were originally bounty hunters. I originally wanted to be a free person. Navarro and Thain wanted to be bounty hunters. Strong man, I don’t know about that handsome Yuri, I think he wants to be a pirate.” At this point, Rody glanced at his mouth, and they, the boatmen, must be sailing for their dreams!

Lafayette's blood-red lips curved slightly, and the hatred and sadness in his eyes had disappeared, "Very interesting team, Captain Roddy, can I join?"

These words touched Luo Di's heart. After he rescued this guy, he had the idea of ​​pulling him into the gang. Originally, he wanted to get acquainted with him and win him over. Unexpectedly, Lafayette proposed it on his own initiative. With joy, Luo Di Di said with certainty:

"Of course, but we don't plan to fly the pirate flag yet. I plan to travel around the East China Sea first."

There was also a smile on Lafayette's face: "I, Lafayette, am 22 years old this year. I am the former Sergeant of the Abbas Kingdom's Security Force. I am a devil fruit capable user. I am good at hypnotism and navigation. From today onwards, you are me benefactor and my captain."

"Hahaha, you are welcome to join, and Navarro is notified to lower the sails and drop anchor. How can there be no welcome banquet for new companions to join!"

In front of the Red Earth Continent, Rody, who was the captain and temporary cook, cooked a large table of delicious food. Except for Rody, the four of them and the orangutan were drunk.

Early the next morning, under the command of Lafayette, the Fallen Angel sailed steadily towards the direction of the Upside Down Mountain. When he saw the lighthouse in the distance, Lafayette went to the side of the ship and began to observe the sea with a telescope .

"What are you doing!" Roddy walked up behind him and asked.

Lafayette explained without turning his head: "Captain, I am observing the ocean current. If you want to enter the East China Sea, you must follow the ocean current from the West Sea to the East China Sea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lafayette shouted to Navarro who was at the helm: "Turn the rudder to the left, cut into the ocean current, and drive close to the lighthouse on the left."

As a navigator, the right to speak on the ship is very high, and Navarro is also aware of this, operating the Fallen Angel to slowly cut into the ocean current.

Rody, who was standing on the deck, felt clearly that when the ship entered the ocean current, the speed of the ship suddenly increased a lot, just like the feeling of pushing back when a car accelerates.

"Sion, Yuri, lower the sails!"

Under the command of Lafayette, the Fallen Angel sailed rapidly along the ocean current in the direction of the Red Earth Continent.

Looking at the blurred red earth continent and the rushing water under the boat in the distance, Rody couldn't help but let out a breath of air. He thought at the beginning that even without a navigator, the few of them could easily cross the Upside Down Mountain, but now it seems I am a little too naive, with such a fast current, if I do not operate properly, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

As they approached, the figure of the Red Earth Continent clearly appeared in everyone's eyes at this moment. It was a majestic mountain range. At a glance, one could not see how high it was, nor how long it was. It was like a city wall. across the front of the ship.

Several people on board, including the navigator Lafayette who was in command, saw this picture for the first time, and cold sweat broke out on their tense foreheads.

Especially Lafayette. Although he is a very good navigator, it is the first time he has entered the Upside Down Mountain. The lives of a whole crew of people are in his hands at this moment. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

The turbulent ocean current under the sea has pushed the speed of the ship to the peak at this moment. In the hazy water mist, the entrance in the distance is getting wider and wider, but Lafayette still does not relax. Before entering the entrance, any sloppy will have It may cause irreparable consequences, so his orders are still being issued, and the ship's course is constantly being fine-tuned.

"Right rudder! 13 degrees!"

"More! Left rudder! 3 degrees!"

"Very good, hold on!"

The navigator's orders were conveyed from time to time, and Navarro, who was in charge of the helm, strictly followed his orders nervously. Roddy knew that Lafayette was adjusting the course of the ship. The ascent of the waterway is not that big, so it must be aligned with the entrance.

As we get closer to the entrance, the speed of the ocean current becomes more and more turbulent, and the speed of the ship is obviously accelerating. Under such circumstances, turning the rudder in any general direction is courting death, and it is very likely that the rudder wheel will be broken of.

With a bang, the bow of the ship suddenly tilted up, and the Fallen Angel tilted up, climbing towards the top of the mountain.

If Newton saw it, he would definitely jump out of the coffin!
Lafayette, who had been in a tense state, sat down on the ground, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Roddy and said, "Captain, we succeeded!"

Roddy smiled slightly at him, and a suspended heart finally let go.Immediately, the other three people on the deck couldn't help but burst into cheers!
It's really not easy. I heard that the ocean currents entering the great route are even more turbulent than this. I'm afraid this first level will eliminate a large wave of pirates.

Standing on the side of the boat, looking at the cliffs on both sides.Rody asked, "How long do we need to climb to reach the East China Sea?"

"It takes about 10 minutes to get to the top of the mountain. Going down is the East China Sea. The waterway between our West China Sea and the East China Sea is a straight line. With the change of ocean currents, sometimes it is from the East China Sea to the West China Sea, and sometimes from the West China Sea to the East China Sea. The same is true between the other seas. The ocean currents to the great route are always there."

"It's really hard work for you! Lafitte."

"Thank you, Captain, for your compliment!"

Lafitte put one hand on the brim of the black hat, tilted his head slightly, and gently raised the brim of the hat with his fingers. His movements did not match the title of 'devil sheriff' at all, and he looked like an orthodox gentleman.

As for this hat, Roddy bought it for himself. When Lafayette boarded the boat, his original black top hat was washed there by the sea. He lost all his crutches and pistols. He was still wearing Abbas. The clothes of the security forces were about the same size, so Luo Di gave him the clothes he bought in Leon City.

Different from his previous clown outfit, the current Lafayette suit, leather shoes and patterned shirt look much more pleasing to the eye.
