Perhaps considering the influence of strong winds on the ring current, the Vera designed and built by Silas did not have masts and sails.

To drive it to sail on the sea, the only way is to paddle the wooden oars fixed on both sides of the hull.

After transferring the items on the deck to the cabin of the hull, Qi Ya put away the anchor, grabbed the wooden paddle left and right, and tried it a few times. Soon the entire hull was sailing away from Baisha Island.

The time soon came to noon. Qi Ya stopped what he was doing, put down the anchor, and drove forward for a while. After the hull was fixed, he stretched and returned to the cabin.

The small cabin is divided into two parts, large and small. The larger one has a bed and a desk, which are fixed to the hull and used for daily living;

The smaller one is specially used for washing, and contains fresh water that can be used for more than ten days.

The rest of the things he had prepared in advance, such as dried meat and ale, were placed under the deck of the bow, which could last for about a month.

According to his original idea, the more such stored materials, the better. However, no matter how big Qishan Town is, it is still just a town. It is impossible to provide him with all such things, and the Vera is just a small ship. Can't hold that much.

According to Silas's oral account, the ring current branch is more than ten kilometers away from Baisha Island. It can be reached in about one day regardless of physical exertion and rowing with all one's strength.

Therefore, for a long time, he did not have to worry about food.

After dealing with the stomach problem, Qi Ya took out the banana-shaped Devil Fruit from the storage space, looked at it up and down, and then put it back.

He felt that he couldn't afford something with a market price of at least 1 million beli. The main reason why he took it out of the shrine was because he didn't want to see such a precious thing locked up in such a small place and wasted.

After resting for a while and looking at the sky, Qi Ya rowed the Vera to just above the anchor, put it away, and after finding the direction with the pointer, started rowing again.

The journey was uneventful, and the previous intense muscle training allowed him to easily assume the role of rower.

It's just that rowing alone on an empty sea can easily lead to a torturous feeling of loneliness, especially after a long voyage and not even a seabird can be seen in the sky.

In the midst of the calm, Qi Ya noticed many waves suddenly appearing in front of the Vera.

He paddled in reverse a few times to keep a certain distance between the boat's hull and the movement in front, while frowning at the changes in the water.

To this day, he has gone out to sea several times with the boat of the fisherman Scott's family, and he has taken the time to read many books on navigation. He has no time to study too profound things, but at least he understands that "when things go wrong, there will be monsters." and the principle of "calm down in trouble".

In about a few breaths, a gray-black fish with two long whiskers and a body length of about two meters jumped from the water into the air.

The sea surface inevitably produced many undulations, and the large water droplets refracted the sunlight as they fell in the air, making his eyes hurt.

At this time, many waves appeared out of thin air in the slanting spine. A snow-white sea snake was like a straight line, shooting straight at the long-bearded sea fish on the way down. It opened its exaggerated huge mouth and bit the opponent in one go, and then both parties fell together. Back to the sea.

After waiting for a while, until the sea calmed down again, Qi Ya rowed the boat in the designated direction.

He really wanted to see how dangerous the circular current that had besieged the entire Qishan Town for 44 years was.

He just hoped that after the sea snake just finished eating, it would not come to trouble him and the Vera. Sea snake meat was not delicious, so he did not want to waste his time fighting with that big guy. That would be a loss.

However, things did not develop according to his wishes. After nearly half an hour of the Vera sailing safely, a long sea snake stretched out one-third of its body from the water and blocked the Vera.

It tilted its head slightly and stared at the little man on the deck with a golden vertical eye the size of a lantern.

The naked threat is self-evident.

Qi Ya thought for a moment, put down the paddle in his hand, took out the "Garcia" from his waist, and then jumped to the head of the big white snake without waiting for the other party to make further threats.

The sea snake laughed strangely twice, spit out a scarlet snake tongue, and planned to wrap up the little guy and swallow it in one gulp.

After a swift strike directly pierced the opponent's tongue, he grabbed the opponent's Snake Nobuko with one hand, used the force to move upward, turned the withdrawn "Garcia" upside down, and smashed the big white snake's head with only the hilt of the sword. .

The blow was a hit, and the blow did not hold back at all. The sea snake immediately became dizzy, and a big bump was visible on its head.

It realized that it might have kicked an iron plate. After it came to its senses, its limited survival wisdom immediately made it put on a groveling look. The originally ferocious giant eyes of the lantern were narrowed into two flattering crescents.

On the sea, it is normal for the strong to dominate the weak. As for more things, it cannot consider it for the time being.

Qi Ya jumped back from the snake's head to the deck of the Vera. Looking at the other party's appearance, he recalled the manatee "Moo" from the Dragon Pirates in the original book. That guy seemed to have become a boat puller later on. With.

Thinking of this, Qi Ya smiled brightly, found a nearby rope and fixed it on both sides of the hull, then jumped onto the white snake and fixed it.

After everything was done, he patted the big white snake on the head, pointed in the direction, and asked the snake to swim forward with all its strength.

He himself was sitting close by on the opponent's head. As long as the big guy dared to make any move, he would not hesitate to pierce the opponent's head with the sword in his hand.

The White Snake's backbone was even weaker than Moo Moo's. After being coerced, he worked extremely hard to pull up the boat. In less than two hours, the circular current that he had often heard about appeared in front of Qiya's eyes.

The strong wind visible to the naked eye forms a slightly curved wall, and the ocean current underneath is like a long, surging river, rushing endlessly along a predetermined trajectory.

What surprised him was that the annular current and the sea surface within the confinement seemed to be two distinct parts, and they could actually live in peace with each other when they were moving and when they were still.

Knowing that the world of pirates is full of wonders, and not being very interested in academic research, Sakia did not delve too much into the origins of the formation of this thing, but realistically thought about how he could get through this place safely.

Visual inspection shows that the width of the annular current is about 300 meters, so there is a chance that I can successfully swim across it.

But what about after passing through?

Bet there are ships passing by?Do you want to bet that you can swim to an unknown island or continent before the food and water that can be accommodated in 1 cubic meter of storage space are used up?

A lot of problems were placed in front of him, making him understand that it was not advisable to abandon the Vera and take risks alone.

He is not Silbarz Raeli. This body is only 16 years old, and his strength is far from being able to pass through the windless belt alone regardless of all dangers.

So, let’s wait and see!

Under such circumstances, the result of trying to break through with the Vera would probably not be much better than if he swam alone through the circular current.

He will park the boat here for a few days to observe possible changes in the circular current.

The sea beast's IQ is limited, and Qiya doesn't think it will have any loyalty to him, so the thought of raising him as a boat puller is just a fleeting thought.

After untying the rope from the Great White Snake and jumping back to the deck of the Vera, Qi Ya waved the opponent away.

The sea snake squawked twice as if it had been granted amnesty, and then without any hesitation, it crawled back to its undersea lair filled with the fragrance of freedom.

After dropping the anchor and fixing the hull, Qi Ya began to sit cross-legged on the bow of the Vera, holding his head and staring at the chasm in front of him without blinking.

For the next five days, whether it was lightning and thunder, storms, heavy rain, calm winds, sunny days, and cloudless skies, he spent most of his time sitting quietly on the bow of the boat, recording the movements of the circular currents every day. changes over time.

Shipwright Silas had also told him in detail about the situation here, but other people's things could only be used as a reference.

On the night of the fifth day, Qi Ya had dinner, washed briefly, and then lay down on the wooden bed in the cabin and fell asleep.

Tomorrow I will try to challenge this strange sea, and I must be energetic.

Success or failure depends on this time!

That night, the moon was thin and the sea surface was unexpectedly calm. The occasional roars of sea animals were too far away and carried by the gentle sea breeze. When they reached the cabin of the Vera, they only made the sea seem more quiet.

The next day, after a good night's sleep, Qi Ya, who had cleared away the fatigue of the previous five days and replenished his energy, energy and spirit, felt like he was resurrected with full blood.

At breakfast, he no longer deliberately controlled his food intake, but instead opened up the rations stored below the deck. He did not stop eating until he was satisfied and drank a small barrel of ale.

Afterwards, when counting the remaining food on board the Vera, Qi Ya was shocked by her previous terrifying appetite.

But then he thought that it might be the sequelae of too strict food control in the past few days, so he didn't pay too much attention to this issue.

Today, if you can rush over with the Vera, everything will be easy to do!

But if unfortunately the boat capsizes in the gutter

Then, I have no choice but to gamble on my luck.

After solving the problem of eating and drinking, moving his body, and storing valuables in the storage space or carrying them with him, Qiya set off to retrieve the anchor, then stood at the paddling position and got ready.

After many days of observation, he found that the strong winds on the circular currents were much softer than normal at certain times of the day.

Using a fan as a comparison, it is probably the difference between third gear and first gear.

这几个时间段分别是早上8至9点之间,傍晚6至7点之间以及凌晨1至点之间。

Each time the wind weakens, it only takes less than 30 seconds. If it cannot rush through the 200-meter-long circular current with all its strength during this period, the subsequent shipwrecks will kill the Vera.

Qi Ya did not have a timing tool at hand, so he could only concentrate on observing the subtle changes in the wind wall and act according to the intuition he had developed over the past few days.

Time flowed quietly, and during the long days of waiting, the wind wall obviously stagnated for a moment.

Qi Ya did not dare to pause at all, and lifted the two wooden oars in his hands like flying, instantly increasing the speed of the Vera to the highest speed in history.

The bow of the ship broke through the wind wall and rushed in. The entire hull was deflected by the strong wind in the direction of the ring current.

This negative impact caused by force majeure did not weaken until the entire Vera entered the top of the circular current.

While Qi Ya controlled the direction of the bow of the boat through unbalanced paddling frequency, he unleashed all his strength to drive the entire boat towards the other shore quickly.

Thanks to the 10000 push-up tasks rewarded by the system, I can still stabilize my mentality when faced with situations where I need to explode;

Thank you for your hard work in building physical strength;

Thank you and the country;

Thanks to the people;

thank

Before Qi Ya could think of the next person to thank, a brown wooden board the size of a door panel, carried by the strong wind, flew past his head.

""

From the corner of his eye, he could see a large number of shipwrecks floating on the sea currents, like rows of steel torrents wearing armor and holding spears, heading towards him and the Vera at his feet.

"Hoohoo."

Another plank flew, this time hitting the roof of the cabin.

The intense force generated by the collision between the two quickly caused a crack visible to the naked eye to appear on the top of the cabin.The strong wind poured into the cabin along the crack, and in just a moment, it caused chaos inside.

Estimating the time in his mind, Qi Ya never stopped moving his hands for a moment. When he saw that he was approaching the end, the torrent of steel composed of shipwrecks was already close at hand.

If it still stubbornly proceeds according to the established trajectory, the entire Vera will be swallowed up by this torrent without any accident.

House seemingly endless rain.

The cracks on the top of the cabin quickly spread to both sides under the influence of strong winds, until the entire top was lifted off with a huge "click" sound.

Clothes, quilts, desks, everything that could be blown away inside the cabin were separated from the hull and flew along the path of the circular current.

At the same time, a broken mast pierced directly into the bottom of the Vera under the action of the turbulent sea currents. Accompanied by a high-frequency sound of breaking wooden boards, one-third of the entire mast pierced into the bottom of the draft ship. .

Almost in the blink of an eye, the situation took a turn for the worse. It seemed that the only option before him was to abandon ship and take this path.

Qi Ya is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. When things cannot be done, he will not stubbornly stick to the best of both worlds.

However, he felt that it was far from the time to make a final choice.

Seeing that the end was close at hand, Qi Ya let go of the oar in his hand and allowed the boat to be carried forward by the circular current.

He himself walked to the side of the ship, took out Garcia from his waist, and cut the mast pierced into the bottom of the ship into two pieces with a sword. Then, without looking at the empty open-air cabin, he lifted the heavy anchor with a rope against the strong wind. Fix it on your body, and finally, take a deep breath and jump into the fast current.

Most people living on the island can swim, and the soul in the body is also familiar with it.

After sinking to the bottom of the sea, Qi Ya first allowed the current to control his body at will, and then forced himself to open his eyes to observe the environment on the bottom of the sea.

His eyes inevitably felt sore, and his tear glands kept secreting liquid. Qi Jianhao blinked, and after a little adaptation, he immediately figured out the direction in which he should exert his efforts.

There were several shadows of sea kings wandering underneath. Qi Ya saw them, and they seemed to see Qi Ya.

After mentally estimating the time required for both parties to achieve their goals, he did not pay too much attention to these big objects, but used all his strength to pull the Vera diagonally upward.

It's really not an easy job to drag such a big guy with a heavy anchor tied to his body.

The Vela's speed of breaking away from the circular current was slower than he expected. Therefore, while he was still pulling the boat hard, the leading sea king had already swam closer.Fupin Chinese
