Kirby, the God of Pirates

"...Crashed against the rock wall of the Red Earth Continent...If the hull of the ship is shattered, we will also be buried at the bottom of the sea together with the ship!"

"Understood?"

Nami raised her head and said seriously.

As if thinking of the scene of being shattered to pieces, even Usopp, who had been making a fuss just now, quieted down. This atmosphere lasted for less than a minute. Luffy spoke first:

"That's it, that's it..."

"That is to say - that is an incredible mountain! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Luffy smiled awkwardly and shrugged his shoulders. Nami looked at it and waved her hand helplessly, "Ah~ah! You won't understand anyway, just leave it to me then!"

There was a glimmer in Nami's eyes, which was the confidence of a navigator.

"Anyway——! The Meili should have boarded the current now. Next, as long as you control the steering well, you can rush to the top of Upside Down Mountain in one breath!"

Sanji: "Miss Nami is so awesome?!"

Zoro: "I've never heard of using a boat to climb mountains."

"I've heard it!" Sanji smiled and flicked the cigarette butt, "Half of those who go to the Grand Line will die before entering. So that's what happens."

"Is it so scary?!!!"

Usopp and Luffy yelled at the same time, one excited, the other scared.

"Hmph!" Sanji snorted and nodded, "Do you think it's just a kid playing house? Now that you have decided to go, you must be prepared to die!"

...

"Sanji, I leave the steering to you!"

A girl's voice came from the rain curtain.

"No problem, Miss Nami!" Sanji nodded enthusiastically and turned his head, "Luffy! Come and help too!"

"Hey~~~ Do I want it too? I'm the captain..."

"Stop talking nonsense, come here!"

...

As the rain became heavier, Kerby looked up at the dark cloudy sky, flew up quietly, and tied the canvas with a rope to prevent the hull from swinging.

Nami looked at Kebi floating in the air, with a look of longing in her eyes.

"It's great...to be able to fly in the sky..."

"Well...it's okay"

Kebi did not deliberately use magic to shield himself from the wind and rain. After finishing his work, he came down completely clean.

"If Nami wants to learn, I can teach you..."

He didn't feel uncomfortable, but rather enjoyed letting the rain soak his cheeks, Kebi said with a smile.

No one knows how helpless it is to survive with only one's soul in these thousand years, touching anything but not being able to feel anything.

Perhaps for Kebi, living a normal life is already a special enjoyment.

"Really! Kebi, please don't lie to me!" Nami's eyes sparkled. She had seen too much magic with her own eyes. Compared to Kebi's relaxed tone, the girl's words and deeds were full of yearning.

"Yeah, it's true." Kirby nodded, took the towel from Sanji Xianqin, and wiped his wet hair. Red squinted his eyes and dozed off. Everything looked like that. calm.

"Then it's settled, come here quickly, I'm going to pull the hook!"

"Hey...I really won't lie to you...a kid's trick like pulling a hook...well..."

Kebi glanced at Nami again, as if he remembered some special mission, his pretty face turned red, he lowered his head, and with a look of reluctance, he still stretched out his hand.

"Hehe, that's no problem~" Nami smiled sweetly like a little girl who got candy.

"Wow!!! I can see incredible mountains!!!!"

Luffy's shout suddenly came from outside the cabin. Everyone looked sideways and found Luffy lying on the mast, holding his straw hat in one hand. Directly in front of him was a huge mountain.

Can't see the edge at all.

"So... so big!!!"

Just one glance made Usopp's eyes widen.

"How big is this!!!"

"The entrance to the Grand Line..." Nami murmured, wearing a hooded raincoat, the autumn water swaying in her translucent skin.

Just in front of the Meili, a huge mountain like a "barrier" suddenly appeared. What was different was that the mountain was completely red. It seemed to be due to being soaked in water all year round. The mountain was covered with moss of various colors, and the rain curtain In the middle, moss floats on the water, swaying with the turbulent current, like rootless duckweed.

The Golden Merli is like moss, floating in the vast sea, gradually approaching the mountain.

Everyone looked up and saw that the red mountain could not be seen in the distance. The top of the mountain reached the clouds and continued to rise. The turbulent sea waves hit the red mountain with a huge sound, but it could not shake it in the slightest.

"I saw the entrance!" Nami's eyes lit up, she tightened her hood and pointed to the place where the water was most intense not far ahead.

"Sanji, left full rudder!"

"Yes! Miss Nami! By the way, Luffy——! Come in and help, you bastard!" Sanji responded with a peach blossom look on his face at first, then his expression changed immediately. Sanji's enthusiasm for beauties was always extremely high. And for the captain...

"No! I want to see Upside Down Mountain!" Luffy lay on the tall mast and made a face at Sanji.

"Ah! Forget it, Zoro!"

"No problem!" Zoro nodded.

At critical moments, the unknown swordsman is always reliable.

...

"Oh! Is that the entrance?" Luffy hugged the mast tightly and looked at the waterway with bright eyes.

The waterway is about ten feet wide, with enough space to accommodate the Golden Merry, even those large ships. Sanji and Zoro only changed the direction slightly and successfully sailed into the mouth of the canal.

Sure enough, just as marked on the map, the water here is turbulent. Due to the heavy rain, it is even more powerful. At this time, in the heavy rain, the water in the canal is flowing upstream along the wide river, rapidly. Rush to the top of the mountain.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

Luffy shouted excitedly, the scenery along the way changed rapidly, and within a short time, he had reached the mountainside.

The Golden Merli plunged into the clouds, and through the mist, everyone's nerves became tense. The water here was very fast, and there were many backflow whirlpools. It could be said to be very dangerous, and it was the burial ground for the great waterway. .

Fortunately, thanks to Kebi, relying on his mental power, Kebi pointed out the direction for everyone very accurately. The Golden Merrie did not hit the reef wall along the coast. Through his mental power, he could see that on the coast, , there are many shipwrecks, presumably half of the unlucky guys hit the rocks here.

After passing through the clouds, my eyes suddenly opened up. Even the sky changed color. There were no longer black cumulus clouds above everyone's heads. The dazzling sun on the horizon gave off a blazing halo. The air turned into colors, and even the huge stars in the sky were vaguely visible. The rainbow seems within reach.

Under the top of the mountain, there is a sea of ​​clouds. Different from the dark clouds behind it, the sea leading to the Grand Route is now sunny. The white clouds are like cotton candy, which makes people want to take a bite when they look at it. Feel.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

Luffy yelled, waving his straw hat desperately as if he was looking down at the entire world.

Ahead is the intersection of the four sea currents. Four strong countercurrents collide together, bursting into white flowers.

This is also the key to entering the great waterway. If you are not careful, do not control the helm well, and accidentally rush into the West Sea, you will be in unspeakable misery.

At this moment, the Meili has rushed to the top of the mountain. If you want to enter the great channel branched out in the middle, you can only turn the rudder full to the left. Under Nami's command, Sanji and Zoro pressed the rudder firmly against the corner. , don't let it shake at all.

Just when everyone was tensing their hearts, suddenly, there was a strange crisp sound in the cabin!

"Crack!"

The rudder... is broken!
