The sword of the pirate is like a dream

Chapter 167 The Great Channel
Preparations for sailing are fairly simple.

At about noon, the Storm II could already see the figure of the Red Earth Continent appearing in the distance.

Although the distance was not too far away, but one of the important reasons for being able to go so fast is that Io's current atmospheric control level is enough to support him to help the Storm II sail, and the wind strength this morning It's because he deliberately controlled it, not only can the Storm II be used to the maximum extent, but also the physical exertion on him won't be too alarming.

After all, the Tempest II is a small ship, too strong wind will only lead to the opposite effect.

And this way of using it also helps him become familiar with his abilities, especially the ability to exercise continuous and stable control.

"We're about to enter the Great Channel soon, and now we need to tell you some things to watch out for."

On the deck of the Tempest II, everyone was sitting around a round table and having a meeting. Nami stood up with a serious look.

"The first is what we will see soon, the 'mountain-climbing canal' leading to the great waterway, which connects the four seas respectively, and then converges into a river on the top of the inverted mountain, and finally flows along the mountain Into the Great Channel."

"As long as our ship is properly in the canal, it is enough to draw up the sails and let the ship go with the current. Until then, everyone must stay at his post and follow orders. Especially You, captain, don’t hesitate when you may need your help, the water flow at the entrance of the canal is very fast, and there is a devil fruit ability user on board, it will be very difficult to rescue if you fall into the water, understand?”

"Understood." At this time, it is time to listen to the opinions of professionals, and Ai Ou immediately expressed that he understood.

Mikita was slapped, and looked around guiltily, only to be relieved when she saw that no one was paying attention to her.She wore a weight and walked around the deck from time to time under Ao's command. Although she often rested, she was already exhausted. Now she finally had a chance to sit down and rest, but she still had to force herself to listen carefully. For fear of missing something.

It is good that she has been to the great waterway, but now and then, she now feels that she is a low-level soldier who is dead and no one cares about her. How dare she wait for others to serve her like she did when she was a cadre?Besides, it's not that she has never been a low-level soldier, and now she is just fighting again.

"Thanks to the collection of books donated by Ms. Keya, I have learned a lot about the hard-to-reach great waterway." Nami first thanked Keya who didn't know where she was at the moment, "After crossing the Reversing Mountain and officially entering the great After the waterway, what we need to face is a sea area that is completely different from the present."

"The geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents of the great waterway are all chaotic and irregular. The means we use to confirm the direction now are not applicable, so we need to find a new way to obtain direction indications."

"What I'm going to say next is all from the book. It's not 100% accurate, but it can provide a reference and prepare us mentally."

"The great waterway can be divided into seven routes at present, and we need to choose one of them to start sailing after entering. And these seven routes are divided based on the magnetic field guidance of the recording pointer. There are two common means of indicating direction in the great channel. The recording pointer and permanent pointers."

"The record pointer will point to the next island after recording on one island, just follow the steps step by step; and the permanent pointer is a special record pointer that permanently points to a certain island. No matter in which direction, the permanent pointer will only point to The island it records."

"In the East China Sea, due to the blockade by the world government, we have no way to obtain the important item of record pointer, and even this information is quite precious."

Nami paused, and her tone suddenly cheered up: "But! We are very lucky! Mikita, the trainee crew member on the ship, has personally entered the great waterway! She can explain to us the precautions for verifying the great waterway!"

Saying so, she stretched out her hand to invite Mikita who was sitting.

Mikita stood up at a loss, completely unaware of why the topic suddenly turned to herself, "I, I, I..."

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, she slowly calmed down, "What Ms. Nami said is correct."

Just such a short sentence, as if exhausting all her strength, she fell down on the chair all of a sudden.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nami quickly stood up and took over the conversation: "Uh, since Mikita said so, then I can rest assured. Anyway, don't panic. With me and the captain here, everything will be fine! The meeting is over!"

Hastily ending the discussion, Nami secretly wiped away her sweat.The morale she had managed to inspire was almost completely destroyed.

Another burst of rapid sailing followed.Mikita's weight was also allowed to be taken off for the time being, so that if she really fell into the water, she would sink if she didn't have the strength to say nothing, and it would be really hopeless.

When the towering cliffs of the Red Earth Continent appear in front of you, its oppression and shock are beyond words. The closer you get, the more you will feel that it is tall and majestic, and it will never change.

The top of the towering red cliff is submerged in the clouds, and the two sides extend to the distance, and its edge is completely invisible.

This is like a cliff that separates the world between heaven and earth, which is the Red Earth Continent.

The Tempest II was as small as a speck of dust in comparison.

When the human beings in this world sail here for the first time, do they feel that this is the end of the world?
As early as when the cliffs of the Red Earth Continent could be clearly seen, Io stopped the wind.Not only that, Nami also asked the sails to be put away, and she steered the rudder herself to carefully perceive the current situation so as to respond in time.

Of course, her strength alone is not enough, the closer to the Red Earth Continent, the stronger the power of the ocean current, so Ai Ou is also holding the rudder beside her, and helping with strength according to her command.

Generation after generation of human beings have witnessed the magnificence of the Red Earth Continent. He no longer has the mind to think about what it is like, and is completely immersed in the current thrills.

The ocean current here crashes into the red earth continent all the year round, then folds down and sinks into the deep sea.That is to say, after entering the ocean current, if you do not enter the canal correctly, you will be smashed against the hard mountain wall of the red earth continent, and people will also be dragged into the deep sea by the ocean current.

A real ship wreck.

If you are not careful, you will be buried here. It really is as exciting as it is.

Regarding this point, Nami did not say it clearly at the meeting, so as not to dampen morale; but she told Ai Ou, so that he can have a bottom line in his heart, and if he really makes a mistake, he can save people as soon as possible——

——Although Ms. Nami has absolute confidence in her navigation skills, she still needs to be prepared for accidents. After all, she is not an omnipotent god.
