The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

In the pitch-black storm, the weather spacecraft was swaying like a lone leaf, and the howling wind outside was like the roar of a devil, ready to devour everything.

From time to time, the phenomenon of dragon sucking water would occur, and a large amount of sea water would be pumped up from a height of thousands of meters. The sea water would splash around and violently hit the hull of the ship, making a deafening sound.

The weather spacecraft was shaking violently. The meteorologists inside held on to objects around them, trying to maintain their balance. Fear enveloped everyone. Their faces were pale and their eyes were full of uncertainty and despair.

Nami had never seen such a scene before. She hugged the old man beside her tightly and no longer mentioned going back to look for things. All the belongings she brought with her were swallowed up by the black storm along with Visalia's residence.

The little thief cat's lips trembled, and he asked in a very weak voice: "Have you ever experienced a scene like Hareda? You are the top meteorologists in this ocean. Can scientific problems still stump you?"

Facing the girl's series of questions, Hareda was hit on the head by a boomerang with a wry smile on his face. He was not even in the mood to joke now.

Like other meteorologists, he used to be superstitious about science and thought that he could use scientific knowledge to explain all the weather conditions that occurred on the Grand Route. His rigorous science made Visalia famous.

Visalia has never lacked funds for scientific research. If they are short of money occasionally, there will always be sponsors who come to them to change the weather for the country, solve problems such as drought or floods, and they make a lot of money every time by showing off their scientific knowledge.

However, this time, the meteorological knowledge they had learned throughout their lives did not follow the scientific laws as they had done before. This strange astronomical phenomenon should not have occurred from a scientific point of view, so Visalia entered a desperate situation and the theory of meteorological calculations completely failed.

"Nami, we are the ones who harmed you. The meteorology I taught you before was useless. Now I can only pray to God and hope that a miracle will happen," Hareda said, then closed his eyes and began to pray silently. To force a scientist to this point, the level of despair is unimaginable!

The little thief cat looked at the meteorologists praying around him. Their psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse. They used to be superstitious about science, but now at the critical moment of life and death, they temporarily believed in God. Is it really reliable?

"Don't give up, maybe we can still be saved. You must believe in science and believe in yourselves." Nami grabbed her hair with both hands. She was helpless about the current situation and missed the days when Luffy was by her side.

It would be great if the captain was around. Even if there was no other way, he could still provide emotional value. Moreover, Luffy could always find a way out in various ways to reassure the crew.

The weather spacecraft was shaking more and more frequently. Nami could only stare with wide eyes, watching the black storm outside the window getting closer and closer, sucking in the lifeboat that everyone depended on for survival. The people on the boat could do nothing but sit in their seats and leave everything to fate.

After entering the storm, the weather spacecraft completely lost its direction and kept spinning rapidly inside the storm, with the possibility of disintegration at any time.

Nami's head hit the ceiling of the cabin. The unprecedented heavy blow made the woman faint on the spot. She had no idea what happened after that.

When the woman woke up again, she found her lower body soaked in a pool of water. To be precise, she was awakened by the pain. Her head had a slight concussion due to the violent collision.

"It hurts so much. If I use more force, my head will probably get cracked." Nami touched the back of her swollen head and felt some blood and pus.

The pajamas on her body were already battle-damaged, with holes on the left and tears on the right. Nami's body was covered with bruises and scrapes everywhere. She had rolled down from the high hillside and was finally stopped by the rocks next to the puddle, thus preventing her from rolling further down.

Nami is not a delicate princess. She knows how to save herself in case of emergencies. After climbing out of the pool, the woman sat down to rest in her original position and observed the surrounding environment.

There is a dense jungle at your feet. A stream meanders down from the top of the mountain like a lively ribbon. The water in the stream is crystal clear, gathering the essence of mountains and rivers, and flows happily along the uneven terrain.

Occasionally, the sounds of small animals could be heard in the jungle. Nami had experience in surviving in the wild and found that there were many animal footprints where she was sitting. She knew that this was where the animals drank water.

It would be fine if some herbivores came to drink water, but if she encountered one or two carnivores, Nami would not even have a chance to resist. She found a wooden stick to use as a crutch, stood up with the help of the stick, and went down the mountain along the direction of the stream to seek help.

After walking for a few minutes, they found the wreckage of what was suspected to be a weather ship. It looked like the tail wing. Now it seems that the weather ship disintegrated in the storm. Nami was lucky enough to survive.

While searching near the wreckage, she found a familiar figure on a nearby tree. Hareda was still wearing the blue wizard costume and was hanging on a tree branch and was unconscious.

"Hey, old man, don't sleep! Wake up and use your scientific knowledge to save us," Nami used her loud voice, and the noise created woke Harada up directly.

The old man in blue clothes who had originally hanged himself on the southeast branch lost his balance and fell from the branch because he had just woken up and was struggling too vigorously. When Nami saw this, she quickly dodged away, fearing that the old man would fall on her.

Harada fell from the sky, and his old bones were broken badly. "You are an unfilial student. Why didn't you pick up your teacher? I almost fell to death." Nami stepped back several steps and was seen clearly by the old man. She felt very uncomfortable and disappointed.

Nami was born with a knack for coaxing people. She helped her meteorological teacher up and kept saying nice things in his ear. She deliberately rubbed the old man's arm with her soft breasts to let the old man calm down first. Solving the current problem was the most important thing.

Hareda was an easy-going old man, and since Nami lowered her posture and did not raise her fist, his anger had subsided by a large margin. Then he considered that the two of them had to depend on each other, and it was not wise to have a conflict at the moment. As for the rest of his companions, they would most likely be in danger.

This was not a place to stay for long, so an old man and a young boy supported each other as they walked down the mountain. The slope was moderate and acceptable to the old man and the woman. After Nami and Hareda walked down the mountain for nearly half an hour, they finally appreciated the unique and magnificent scenery at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a dilapidated temple building, like a ruin forgotten by time, quietly telling of its past glory.

Weeds and vines are growing wildly among the broken walls, as if trying to cover up the former prosperity. However, in this desolate place, the stone statue of the goddess on the cliff is still well preserved and solemn.

The goddess holds a staff in her hand and stands tall, overlooking the temple below. Her face is kind and majestic, and her eyes reveal endless wisdom and power. The stone statue is exquisitely carved, and every detail is lifelike, as if the goddess will walk down from the stone wall at any time.

Under the gaze of the stone statue of the goddess, the dilapidated temple building appears more mysterious and solemn. It seems to remind people that there was once a glorious history, and that history is waiting for people to unveil its veil.

"It looks like a goddess in charge of storms. The relief next to it is so lifelike." Nami looked at the remaining wave and tornado patterns next to the goddess' stone statue and interpreted that the stone statue being worshipped might have the power over nature's storms.

However, the old man and the young did not take it seriously at first. Hareda and Nami had seen a lot of nature worship like this. Mystifying natural phenomena and attributing the power of nature to a certain god were all things left over from the ignorant ancients.

Maybe we can find a place for sacrifice. In short, people with a little scientific literacy will not have awe for this kind of relics, thinking that science can conquer nature. Do gods really exist in the world of pirates?

Nami helped her teacher down the mountain, preparing to find a building at the foot of the mountain that could shelter them from the wind and rain, rest for a night to recover their strength, and then consider how to leave.

Just a harmless breeze
