Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

"Is that so?" Claire couldn't help but pout when she said this.

"Master, is there anything special about this weapon?" Beta on the side picked up the ten-handed weapon that Reed had left behind, and then changed the subject.

"The tip of this ten-handed weapon is inlaid with seastone. I left it as a safety. After all, the target this time is a dual-ability user. If he is too strong, he can sneak attack with this thing. As long as he can create a flaw, he can give the opponent a hard time." Reed nodded and said.

"Seastone is indeed quite restraining for Devil Fruit users." Beta then touched it and immediately felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his body.

Of course, with the support of magic, Beta would not be so weak, but there is no doubt that if this thing is used well, it can indeed create a big flaw.

Compared with the harmonious discussion atmosphere on the Pure White Knight, the atmosphere on the warship that is chasing the Pure White Knight is very bad at the moment.

Because the warship was not fast enough before, the colonel chased after it himself. He thought that this time would be no different from usual, and the pirates in front would definitely succumb to the devil fruit ability of his colonel.

But who would have thought that in just a short while, the colonel, who had always been considered invincible, was thrown back to the warship like a dead dog by the chasing pirates.

At this moment, the soldiers felt as if the sky was about to fall.

"Where is the ship's doctor, come and save people!"

"Stop chasing, turn around immediately!"

"We have to return to Rogue Town!"

"Be quiet!" Although the crisp voice was not loud, it had a different kind of magic, which calmed the panicked crowd.

"Sergeant, what should we do?" Looking at the girl who stood up, everyone couldn't help asking.

"First lower the sail to slow down and keep a distance, and wait for the doctor to wake up Colonel Smoker before talking about other things." Dashiqi said after pushing her glasses.

After all, we can't carry Colonel Smoker back to Rogue Town now. If people outside know that Colonel Smoker has been knocked down, I'm afraid that Rogue Town will immediately have a large number of pirates who heard the news.

After Dashiqi finished speaking, a group of soldiers began to act according to her command.

After a while, Smoker opened his eyes on his bed.

"Great, Colonel Smoker, you finally woke up." Dashiqi, who was guarding on the side, cried and laughed.

"How long have I been unconscious?" After a moment of stunned, Smoker, who came back to his senses, immediately asked.

"More than an hour." Dashiqi said uncertainly.

"Where are the Masked Pirates?" Smoker continued to ask.

"Are you talking about the pirate group we chased before?" Dashiqi couldn't help but ask back.

"That's them." Smoker nodded.

"After you were thrown back, I asked people to lower the sails and pull away. The lookout watched the silver-white ship sailing towards the direction of the Upside Down Mountain." Dashiqi said weakly.

"Good judgment. Go and ask someone to bring me the Den Den Mushi in the communication room. I want to call the headquarters." Smoker praised and said immediately.

"Yes, Colonel Smoker!" Tashigi stood up and walked towards it.

After a while, a soldier came to Smoker's room with a not-so-small Den Den Mushi.

After dialing, Smoker held the microphone and waited.

Bru Bru Bru, Bru Bru Bru. Kaga!

"Moses... Moses!" A lazy voice came from the microphone.

"It's me!" Smoker said.

"What's wrong?" The lazy voice continued to ask.

"There is a group of pirates called the Masked Pirates. Their specific identities are unknown. The captain calls himself Sid. Except for him, all the crew members are women. They are currently heading towards the Grand Line." Smoker said in a deep voice.

"You were knocked down?" The lazy voice was a little serious at this moment.

"Yeah, it was just one move, so fast that I couldn't react, and I was caught by the Armament Haki, and he could also [Shave]." Smoker's face was full of helplessness and unwillingness when he said this.

"Ah la la, it seems that there is another powerful pirate in the East China Sea." The lazy voice finally became serious.

"Be careful, this man gives me a very dangerous feeling, and my weapon was also taken away, but" Smoker paused when he said this.

"Is there anything else worth noting?" The lazy voice continued to ask.

"For some reason, when the man was preaching to me, he also took the initiative to tell me how to develop the fruit ability." Smoker felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

But some information cannot be said, in case it affects the judgment of the top leaders.

"After being knocked down, you were actually preached, and the other party also told you how to develop the fruit ability? Is this what a pirate would do?" The lazy voice contained inexplicable surprise at this moment.

"Ah, that's it." Smoker said in a deep voice.

"How should we develop it?" the lazy voice continued to ask.

"Develop it in a toxic and harmful direction. It is said that the thick black smoke is fatal. If you still don't understand, go ask scientists like Caesar." Smoker said briefly.

"It seems to be right. The smoke should be toxic and choking." The lazy voice was completely serious at this moment.

"Okay, I just told you this, hang up!" Smoker hung up the phone after saying that.

When Smoker called Kuzan, the White Knight had already arrived at the sea area near the Upside-Down Mountain.

After the White Knight boarded the climbing current, its speed soared instantly. After quickly passing through the foggy area, the red earth continent that could not be seen finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Accompanied by strong winds and waves, the White Knight quickly approached the foot of the mountain. In the inconspicuous mountain gap, the rapid current surged upward.

Without experiencing such a scene in person, it is difficult to imagine this magnificent wonder of nature at this moment.

"Captain, I need help!" Kalina, who was at the helm, suddenly shouted loudly. After all, controlling the rudder in the turbulent current is a physical job.

At least for Kalina at present, she is not competent for this job for the time being.

Reed did not answer Kalina's shouting, because Delta had come to Kalina's side and took over the control of the rudder.

"Sister Delta, you must look at the direction correctly!" Kalina said nervously on the side. After all, facing this situation where the ship would be destroyed and people would die if there was a slight mistake, Kalina could not calm down no matter how many times she came.

In fact, if she had not been frightened by Li De's method of teleporting directly back to the East China Sea and dared not escape, Kalina really did not want to ride the mountain climbing current again.

"Don't worry!" Delta's face was still relaxed.

Although the current at the entrance was extremely violent and seemed to be very messy.

But that was just the surface scene. After using the sight color to sense, you will find that there is a mainstream under the turbulent current.

As long as you catch up with the mainstream, there will be no deviation.

After swinging the rudder several times, the Pure White Knight caught up with the mainstream under Delta's operation.

As it continued to move forward, huge stone gates carved with sea king patterns were clearly visible.

After a few breaths, the Pure White Knight quickly passed through the stone gates and rushed towards the top of the Upside Down Mountain.

"It's so spectacular!" Beta couldn't help but exclaimed at this scene.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. It's really incredible!" Ipsilon nodded in agreement.     "The current is gushing upwards, and the speed is so fast. It's unbelievable!" Victoria sighed as she watched the current outside the ship pushing the Pure White Knight upwards.

"If the sails hadn't been retracted just now, the speed would have doubled, or even flown up." Reed at the bow added casually.

"Sid, can it still fly?!" Claire asked in surprise.

"Ah, flying is inevitable, because the upwash current is what goes directly from Gaya Island to the White Sea at an altitude of 7,000 meters. The principle here is the same. The only difference is that the upside-down mountain has a slope, so as long as the thrust is strong enough, the ship will not be in danger of falling down.

But the vertical upwash current is different. If the sail is not opened, the terrifying upwash current will push the ship into the White Sea. After the initial current bursts, the ship will lose its angle and fall vertically." Li De said while looking at the magnificent scene in front of him.

"Master, let's raise the sail and fly once!" Zeta suddenly suggested.

"Then put down the sail and fly up!" Li De was immediately tempted.

"No! Captain, that will run out of the channel!" Hearing this, Kalina's face suddenly changed.

She knows too much about navigation and knows how strong the airflow can be generated by the current under this thrust.

If we follow the current, the ship will just fall into the downwash current at the entrance to the Grand Route after reaching the end.

But if we put down the main sail, the speed will be too fast!

Once we fly out of the channel, we may fall directly on the rock wall of the Red Earth Continent.

Isn't this a sure way to destroy the ship and kill people?

"Hahahaha, don't worry, you won't die." Li De laughed and waved to the other women.

Then Zeta and Victoria put down the main sail.

The next second, Kalina, who was standing next to Delta, suddenly felt a strong push on her back. If she hadn't been desperately holding on to the railing in front of the rudder, she would have been thrown out.

If the speed of the Pure White Knight after entering the mountaineering current was about 200 kilometers per hour, then the speed at this moment has more than doubled.

"It's flying, it's flying!" Claire shouted loudly after she felt the bow lift up at the first time.

Along with Claire's voice, the bottom of the Pure White Knight began to gradually leave the sea surface, and rushed towards the peak with an extremely low flying posture and following the upwash current.

In less than a minute, the Pure White Knight had plunged into the clouds, and soon rushed out of the clouds.

After another minute, the top of the Upside-Down Mountain was already visible to the naked eye.

The rumbling sound of the water formed by the confluence of the four seas was deafening.

After a few breaths, accompanied by a bang, the Pure White Knight rushed out of the channel directly.

"Help!" Kalina's heart sank when she saw this scene.

But just when she thought that the Pure White Knight was about to fall on the rock wall of the Red Earth Continent and the ship was destroyed and people died, she found that the bow of the Pure White Knight turned as it fell.

Bang!

After another explosion, the Pure White Knight had fallen into the channel of the downhill current, and rushed towards the Grand Line at an extremely fierce speed with the help of the airflow.

At this moment, Kalina did not call Li De to fold the sails, because it was impossible to fold the sails at such a fierce speed.

In fact, Kalina was surprised that the sails had not been broken and the masts had not been deformed.

After all, in her opinion, it was normal for the sails to break because of the strong airflow and the main mast to break because of this huge force.

If it were an ordinary ship, the scene that Kalina expected would inevitably appear.

But the Pure White Knight, which was strengthened by a hundred times, was extraordinary. At least the propulsion speed of five or six hundred kilometers would not damage the hull.

That's right, compared with the limited increase in speed up the mountain, the speed down the mountain really has no limit.

Accompanied by the violent whistling sound, the Pure White Knight almost instantly rushed through the Twin Gorge and entered the Grand Line.

Even with this powerful inertia, the speed of the Pure White Knight continued to rush forward. Almost in the blink of an eye, it had already left the Twin Gorge and soon became a black dot and disappeared from the sight of an old tower guard.

"Fuck, which sea area did this madman come from? He is so irritable! Are the newcomers so reckless nowadays!" Crooks' eyes widened a lot as he watched the disappearing Pure White Knight.

After all, he had been guarding the tower for many years, and this was the first time he saw a ship lowering its sails and rushing through the Twin Towers. Aren't they afraid of the sails breaking and the masts breaking?

As soon as he finished speaking, the calm sea surface not far away began to surge rapidly, and then a huge head covered with scars broke through the sea surface.

Oh!

"Those madmen are really lucky!" Crooks sighed again.

Because if they ran slower, they would be stopped by Lab's body, and then the ship would definitely be destroyed and people would die.

But if Li De was here at this moment, he would tell Crooks that it was not them who were lucky, but Lab.

If this thing had come out earlier, the Pure White Knight would have penetrated its body and opened a big hole in its belly.

Do you really think the speed of the Pure White Knight is fake? Besides, the solidity of the Pure White Knight is not comparable to the skin of the island whale.

If Reed and Ipsilon had added the sliding ability to the bow, it might not even slow down when penetrating Lab's body.

On the other side, after rushing into the Grand Line for a long distance, the speed of the Pure White Knight finally slowed down.

It was not until this moment that Kalina finally let go of the hand holding the railing.

She fell backwards on the deck, and Kalina breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, finally surviving.

This is too exciting!

Especially when going down the mountain, the strong wind brought by the speed blew her face out of shape.

It's crazy.

"BOSS, where is our first stop?" Delta asked on the side.

"Captain, can we go to Whiskey Peak Island tomorrow morning?" Kalina sat up and asked Li De.

"What's wrong?" Li De couldn't help asking.

"When the captain summoned me before, I was on Whiskey Peak Island. Although it's probably impossible for me to be there, I still want to find my things." Kalina said.

"Is your record pointer pointing to Whiskey Peak?" Li De asked after thinking for a while.

"Yes, because the record was not full before, it still pointed to Whiskey Peak." Kalina nodded.

"Then go! But the weather is not suitable for continuing to sail forward now." Li De nodded. After all, he didn't care which route he started from when entering the Grand Line.

"Yes, and Captain, it's better for us to turn around and go back a little distance. After all, the closer we are to the Red Earth Continent, the more stable the climate is, so as to avoid sudden bad weather at night." Kalina immediately gave pertinent advice.

"That's not necessary, just drop anchor where you are." Li De shook his head and said.

This is not because Li De is confident in his own strength and thinks that he can handle any sudden weather.

Although this is true, the more important thing is that both Li De and Claire are very sensitive to weather changes.

You have to know that Li De and Claire are dragons. If they were immortals, they would be responsible for making clouds and rain. How could they not feel the changes in the sky?

Although it is unrealistic to replace Kalina as a navigator with this talent, at least in terms of changes in the sky, Li De believes that he will not lose to Nami.
