Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

William called a clerk to clean up the broken glass on the deck, then went to the captain's room to get a map.

Mo Xingchen looked at William's back, smiled and shook his head, thinking, the boy is still too young. If it were Kizaru, he would be able to shout "Kuwa Yi Ne" in a vulgar way while discussing the specific action plan with you with relish.

After William brought the map over, Mo Xingchen lay on the table with his butt sticking out, studying it.

Looking at the world map, the entire One Piece world is divided into four equal parts by the vertical red soil continent and the two horizontal calm belts. These are the well-known four seas of east, west, south and north.

The Calm Belt was filled with countless sea kings. Ordinary ships could not sail in the Calm Belt, and those that could sail would be attacked by various huge sea kings.

Therefore, there are only two ways for these ships to pass through. One is the Red Earth Continent Conveyor Belt mentioned above. The other is to cross the Upside-Down Mountain, which is also the method usually used by pirates.

The so-called Great Route is actually a sailing route sandwiched between two doldrums.

The first half of the Grand Line is not a single route, but 7 routes starting from the Upside-Down Mountain. If you choose one of them, you cannot change it. You either turn back or keep going. But the magical thing is that no matter which of the 7 routes you choose, its final destination is the Sabaody Archipelago.

When you get here, you can either choose another conveyor belt to pass through the Red Earth Continent, or you can only coat the ship and go to Fishman Island in the deep sea. Behind it is the second half of the Grand Line, commonly known as the New World.

"William, let's go to the Twin Capes first, and then you can choose which route to take. Our main attraction is the sense of mystery!"

Mo Xingchen bit the straw, came up with what he thought was a great idea, and said complacently.

"Lieutenant General, are we about to embark on the first half of our Grand Line travel journey?"

"Ahem, ahem, can you speak? Is that what we call tourism? We are seriously clearing every route in the first half of the Grand Line!"

Mo Xingchen was choked when he heard William's words. He then seriously criticized his adjutant, pointed out his mistakes, and put forward his valuable constructive suggestions.

"Yes! Lieutenant General!"

William also saluted Mo Xingchen with a smile and replied. He turned his head and shouted towards the control room:

"Turn! Target Gemini Cape, head for it!"

.........

After several days of sailing, Mo Xingchen's warship arrived at Gemini Cape.

On the deck, Mo Xingchen wrote the numbers 7 to 1 on 7 blank pieces of paper in order from left to right according to the route on the map, and then crumpled them into a ball, ready to let William decide which route they would take next by drawing lots.

Mo Xingchen put his hands together and shook them vigorously, messing up the order of the seven paper balls, and then stretched them out in front of William.

"Come on, come on! William, buy it and leave!"

Just as William reached out to take it, the warship shook violently, Mo Xingchen staggered, and the paper ball in his hand flew out.

Mo Xingchen turned his head angrily and looked towards the sea. He wanted to see which blind sea king dared to ruin his good mood. He even had already thought about how he would let the kitchen staff cook it later.

"Eh ...

A huge humpback whale emerged from the sea, its head covered with scars. It stared at the tiny warship on the sea, as if confirming something.

After a long time, followed by another ethereal whale roar, it suddenly accelerated and slammed heavily into the red soil continent in front.

"Oh!"

There was a loud crash, followed by a rolling wave. Then it returned to its original position and continued to crash into the rock wall of the Red Earth Continent.

Mo Xingchen already understood the identity of the whale in front of him—Labo.

He just watched it hit Lab's head 3 or 4 times, and after that, he started to bleed. Mo Xingchen also softened his heart.

Because most humans always have a special compassion for animals, the smaller the animal, the more they can inspire their desire to protect it, and they will also have a kind of empathy for other large animals. This is the reverence that humans have for life.

Mo Xingchen finally sighed, flashed in front of Labu, stretched out a hand and tried his best to stop it from hurting him.

Damn! I was careless. Mo Xingchen found that he couldn't stop it with just strength, so he quickly used his mental power to chant the Taoist Meditation Sutra to Lab.

Despite the eternal cold, everything is still;

The mind should be calm and hope that I am alone;

When mind and spirit are united, Qi should follow;

If there is more than one phase, there will be no surprise at all changes;

No delusion, no anger, no desires and no desires;

There is no giving up, no abandoning, no doing, no self;

Lab kept pushing Mo Xingchen forward until he was stopped two or three meters away from hitting the rock wall.

The soldiers on the warship also wiped the cold sweat from their frightened sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. They certainly knew the strength of their superiors. It would be easy to kill such a big guy, but it would be quite difficult to stop it gently without hurting it.

When Mo Xingchen saw that Lab had finally calmed down, he also shouted:

"Hey, guys, I know where the Rumba Pirates are."

"Woo~~"

"Yes, I can take you to find them, but you have to be obedient."

"Woo~~"

"But in order to help you, I have to ruin my mysterious trip, so you have to compensate me!"

"Woo~~"

"Hahahahahaha, then you will be my little brother from now on."

William and the soldiers on the other side were really shocked by Mo Xingchen this time.

"Is the Vice Admiral talking to that whale?"

"It should be... "

"Then why can't I understand what the whale is saying!"

"Nonsense! I don't understand it either!"

...

At this moment, an old man with a strange appearance and his hands behind his back walked out from Lab's mouth, which was wide open due to happiness.

"Hey, hello, this navy guy. I'm the lighthouse keeper of this Twin Cape."

"I know you, you're the ship's doctor of Roger's pirate group. By the way, what's your name?"

The old man was probably choked by his saliva when he heard this, and then he started coughing violently. After a long while, he said:

“Ahem, I didn’t expect that someone among the young navy actually knew me. My name is Kurox.

The reason I boarded Roger's ship was to help Lab find the location of the Rumbar Pirates. Seeing it keep hurting itself like this, I can't bear it. "

Mo Xingchen said calmly:

"I know this. I would never let a vicious pirate stand and talk to me."

"My brother's justice is really admirable, but I just heard you say that you know the location of the Rumba Pirates. Is this true?"

"Of course! I am a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and I would never lie to a whale."

Seeing Mo Xingchen's affirmative attitude, Kurox was also delighted, and then he looked at him expectantly and said:

"Well... then... can you take me with you?"
