Pirate's Swordsman

In the quiet night, these words carried far in the wind, and the next moment, the entire ship was surrounded by cheers.

I don’t know if it was the boosting effect of alcohol. After Xia Nuo decided to help Gu Niu, the deafening cheers lasted for a long time before they stopped. When they sobered up a little, everyone realized a problem, that is How far are these two guys, Brockie and Qingli, from them?

With Gu Niu's memory, he could only barely remember that the island where the two people fought was in the first half of the Grand Route, but he couldn't remember which route it was on. If it was close, it would be easy to tell, but if it was far away, the ghost would Do you know how many waves of navy you will encounter in the meantime?

“It won’t be far”

Xia Nuo stumbled and sat down on the ground in front of the cabin, then smiled and said loudly: "Everyone believe me, maybe if we are lucky, the next island we encounter will be our destination."

He said these words very firmly. Although everyone felt that this kind of luck was really unattainable, they were still infected and inspired for a while. They all responded with smiles, and the atmosphere on the deck became lively again.

"small garden"

Being blown by the sea breeze, Xia Nuo's mind became a little clearer. He looked up at Gu Niu, who was almost crying with gratitude. He smiled easily. Although he was drunk just now, which caused his speech to be a bit off. But going to help Gu Niu meet Brocky and the others was not a sudden and unreliable decision made in a hot head.

After all, although he didn't know the specific location of the small garden on this sea, judging from the original route of Luffy and his party in his memory, this island was located in the first half of the fourth route, not far from Whiskey Peak. Not so far.

And their ship had just crossed the third route and encountered Silk in the middle. Therefore, from this point of view, there is a high probability that the Little Garden is in the nearby waters. Xia Nuo felt that as long as his If your face is a little whiter and you are not so unlucky, you will most likely be able to arrive smoothly without encountering the navy.

Five days later.

The blue sea was calm, and the rising morning sun shone on the deck, making the entire ship seem to be covered with a soft halo.

At this moment, on the bow of the ship, Ivy was gesturing seriously in front of a makeshift blackboard, while a dozen people, led by Delump, were sitting on the ground obediently like primary school students listening to a class, looking attentive. look.

This is a basic teaching of navigation. Although it is a bit boring in itself, after staying for a while, the dangers of the Grand Line are placed in front of everyone. Some veterans who have been on the Grand Line for a long time may be okay, but like Kidd Kira, who had just come from the North Sea, would inevitably have lingering fears, and felt that it would be better to learn more about this terrifying sea area, so at this time they listened very seriously, and even interrupted to ask a few questions from time to time. .

Time passed very quickly, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Ivy's small class gradually progressed to the last part, which was the strange and changeable climate problem of the Grand Line.

"Meteorologically speaking, the numerous islands on the Grand Line can be divided into four categories. They are Spring Island, Summer Island, Autumn Island and Winter Island. Each island has its own four seasons. In other words, If you want to travel the Grand Line, you have to go through at least sixteen stages of the season, from summer on the Summer Island to winter on the Winter Island.”

"And because these islands are arranged together by underground magnetic chains, the climate on the sea between the islands will become quite unstable, which is incomparable to the four seas and the red earth continent."

Ivy's voice was clear and sweet, and her logic was extremely clear, so even a middle-class idiot like Kidd suddenly understood. The spiky red-haired kid suddenly sat up straight, spread his left hand, and hit the palm of his hand with his right hand. Said: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder. I asked why the temperature keeps changing for so many days. I had to wear a cotton-padded jacket a few days ago, but today I can wear nothing at all."

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that it turns out to be related to these islands in different seasons, and there is such a wonderful pattern in it. It really deserves to be the Grand Line."

"Well, yes, that's it,"

After hearing the response from below, Ivy paused, and then said, "But this is only the case according to the conventional route. We are now crossing the Grand Route according to the direction of the life card, so the weather is even more unpredictable. , and it is possible for situations such as the same season on the two islands before and after.”

"in addition."

At this point, seeing that everyone understood it almost, she turned around and slowly put away the blackboard, then stretched, and then continued to smile, "Since the climate in the sea between the islands will become very... Chaos, on the contrary, the climate of islands, or offshore areas near islands, will be relatively more stable."

The voice of "Oh~" sounded again on the deck, and it dragged on for a long time. Kidd couldn't help but ask: "So, we haven't encountered storms or heavy snow since yesterday. According to this statement, doesn't it mean that we are very close to the island now?"

“It’s not very close, it’s almost there.”

Before Ivy had time to answer, a rough voice suddenly rang above the head. Everyone was stunned. When they looked up, they found that the speaker was the bone cow who had been sitting there and listening silently. At this time, he He had already stood up, his face full of excitement, pointing into the distance and shouting incoherently:

"Look ahead, look ahead. The island has appeared. It's an island. It's right there."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other. They all realized a problem. If they just encountered an ordinary island, the bone cow would not be like this. The reason why they became so excited was probably because Because that island is a small garden

Sure enough, when they stood up and gathered around the railing to look at the island, the bone cow's excited voice sounded again: "That's right, it's this shape. It's all a forest with a volcano in the middle. It's a small garden." That’s right”

"Hahahaha, Captain Broki, Captain Qingli, wait a moment, and you can see me."

Bone Niu's hearty laughter echoed on the deck. After everyone looked at each other, they all couldn't help but smile with relief, and then they all started to look forward to it.

After all, it is indeed rare to meet once in a century, not to mention that the other party is two strong men who have left many legends on the sea.
