Pirate's Swordsman

"That's good."

Xia Nuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was not in the way. He was already a pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million, but if so many people were implicated for no reason, it would be really unjustifiable.

Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Xia Nuo temporarily stopped talking to Arrita and looked out of the ship. The speed of the water at this time was much slower than when they first went up the mountain, and the bumps on the deck were much smaller. However, in every ship, the helmsmen on the bow did not show any signs of relaxation. .

Xia Nuo knew that this was because the waiting party would climb over the top of the mountain. When the countercurrent changes to the downstream, the terrifying diving speed is a huge consideration for the structure of all ships and the experience of the helmsman. The degree of danger is almost more dangerous than the entrance. For larger ones, the voyage has not yet passed halfway, so they still need to be very careful.

He turned his eyes and looked towards the rear. As the altitude climbed, his field of vision became wider and wider. He could even see the two escaped warships in the distance. When he looked towards the south, he saw the twilight When the sea became blurry and hazy, I suddenly remembered that if we go all the way to the south, we will reach the windless zone. If we go directly through it, we can also directly reach the Grand Line.

However, the Windless Zone is much more dangerous to him than the Upside Down Mountain. There are countless ferocious and powerful giant sea kings there. Not to mention the four seas, even in places like the Grand Line where strong men gather, there are How many people dare to do the feat of crossing the windless zone?

Of course, when Xiao Luo becomes an adult, maybe he can also try the feeling of flying from above. As for now... forget it, Xia Nuo doubted that with Xiao Luo's flying height of up to four to five hundred meters, he and the eagle would be eaten by a certain Neptune-like creature that suddenly jumped out from under the sea...

Not to mention, with the physical strength of this silly bird of mine, it is impossible to do it at all. The previous flight with people from Pulos Island to Barati seemed to be on the verge of death. As expected, there was no wind belt or anything. It must have fallen before it flew halfway!

"I hope it won't be long before I can rely on my own strength to go up and down the windless belt freely..." Xia Nuo had a look of hope in his eyes.

Just as he was thinking this, the gravity on the ship suddenly changed. Xia Nuo was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. When he held on to the mast next to him, he looked up and found that they had already climbed over the top of the mountain. At an extremely fast speed, he rushed down the mountain!

"Damn it, it's so cool!"

The strong wind carried the waves and roared towards him, hitting his face with a chill. The muscles on Xia Nuo's cheeks tightened, and the long black hair tied behind his back almost floated up, making his neck feel itchy. In this way, he couldn't help laughing when he looked at the sea in the dusk at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Because, at this moment, he is truly on the great route!

Above the sky, the burning clouds are gorgeous, while the sea below is as if covered with a layer of golden veil under the afterglow of the setting sun, blurred and gorgeous.Indistinctly, a towering lighthouse can still be seen in this dusk.

"That's Twin Point!"

Arrita still stood firm in the wind and waves. She didn’t know if it was due to the Devil Fruit’s ability. She thought that Xia Nuo didn’t know, so she pointed there and said with a smile: “Ships from all over the world will be blocked by that lighthouse. Guided by the guide, we will gather at Twin Capes, and then according to our own needs, we will go to the starting island of the seven routes of the Grand Route!"

"Ah, I saw it too."

Xia Nuo nodded, but his focus was not on the lighthouse. Instead, he kept searching with his eyes on the sea below the mountain, trying to

To find out the traces of Labu, he remembered that there was an incredible person living in Labu's belly!

Kurokas! Although he looks like just an ordinary old man who likes to wear floral shirts, he is actually the ship doctor on the ship of Pirate King Roger. Although Xia Nuo has met Bucky, who is also a member of the pirate group, in the East China Sea, the two are different. , one is an old crew member who was personally invited by the young Roger to join the ship, and the other is just a trainee handyman who joined later. No matter in terms of status or qualifications, they are incomparable!

"That guy Bucky didn't follow Roger to Lavdru, but Kurokas must have been there." Xiano suddenly remembered something that had always confused him, "Speaking of which, why did this old man go there? I can still work as a lighthouse keeper at Twin Points for decades peacefully..."

Xia Nuo was actually quite curious about these big figures who had become famous in the pirate world. It's a pity... Rushing all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain along the turbulent sea current, Xia Nuo couldn't see Rabu and could only sigh with some regret.

As soon as it reached the bottom of the mountain, the speed of the water dropped rapidly and slowed down. Arrita immediately gave the order and asked the main ship to pull up the sail and make way for the exit at the bottom of the mountain. The merchant ships behind also He was quite experienced and did not hesitate to follow the full sail, sailing out of the exit one after another according to the formation in the East China Sea, and lined up on the sea.

After a while, the statistical reports of all the ships were submitted. Arrita just glanced back and forth, then breathed a sigh of relief, closed the report sheet, smiled at Xia Nuo and said: "Thank God, this time we We were really lucky. Not only did not a single ship break on Upside Down Mountain, but only five or six of the sailors and guards on the ship had accidents, which is a very optimistic loss ratio."

"Did someone still have an accident?"

Xia Nuo was stunned when he heard this, and looked back. There were nine ships. The entire caravan must have at least three to four hundred people in total. The wind and waves on Upside Down Mountain were so strong. Not everyone could be like him. You can still feel calm standing on the deck against the wind, but it is normal to be accidentally swept into the sea.

There was a moment of silence for these crew members, but seeing Arrita looking very relieved, Xia Nuo knew that under normal circumstances, the casualty ratio of the fleet passing through the Upside Down Mountain must be much greater than this. Maybe it’s not impossible to have the whole army wiped out due to bad luck...

After resting for a while, the fleet set off again. Xia Nuo originally thought that Arrita would let the caravan spend the night at Twin Capes, but after she explained it, he finally understood that ordinary fleets were sailing on the Mt. It is very dangerous to spend the night in a place like this. After all, this is the intersection of the four sea currents. There are other ships coming down from the Upside Down Mountain at night. There is a mix of fish and dragons. The chance of an accident is too high. The caravan cannot afford it. rise.

Therefore, in the increasingly dark sky, the fleet sailed away from the Twin Capes and headed for its destination, Dulu Island. This is the westernmost starting island among the seven routes of the Great Sea Route, and it was also the original island where Zhepu was the chef. The route chosen by the bandit group, according to Arrita, is that caravans like theirs do not have the strength to go deep into the depths of the Grand Route. The so-called round-trip trade actually ends at these starting islands.

For Xia Nuo, it actually doesn't matter which route he chooses. Since the Drummond family is going to Dulu Island now, he might as well choose the westernmost route. If it doesn't work, the worst he can do is wait. On Dulu Island, after he said goodbye to the caravan, he was alone and it was too late to change the route.

Dark night gradually fell, and the night sky was dotted with only a few sparse and dim stars. Without the moonlight, the visibility at sea was reduced a lot. It was for this reason that both Xiano and the sailors on the last ship, Neither of them noticed that there was a speedboat flying a black pirate flag that got up at some point and followed the caravan from a distance...
