The warship rushed down the rapids, rushing towards the sea without slowing down.

Rice felt lost. It seemed that Luffy had made an agreement with Laboo, so his methods would be useless.

But at the same time, he was relieved. Although Laboo did not show up, he missed the unknown reward, but now time is tight, and he still has to rush to Alabasta as soon as possible.

Not to mention the treasure chests of Luffy and his crew, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens in Alabasta alone. It is simply unimaginable how many Qi and Blood Pills there would be.

With his current strength, as long as he follows Luffy to stop Crocodile and show up in the war, he can win the favor of the citizens of Alabasta, and then there will be countless treasure chests.

Rice put away his thoughts and said to Nami beside him:"Okay, let's stop here first."

Nami was still in a daze at the moment. When she heard the voice, she quickly let go of Rice, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and was a little at a loss. She didn't hear what Rice said at all.

Seeing Nami's shy appearance, Rice was happy. It seems that the relationship with Nami is very close.

Rice controlled the direction, slowly stopped at Gemini, dropped anchor, and moored the boat.

The record pointer needs to absorb magnetic force to go to the next island, and Upside Down Mountain is the starting point of the Grand Line, where you can choose one of the seven routes.

While waiting, you can also look for Crocus. Although he looks weird, he is actually a good doctor with a kind heart. In Rice's opinion, he is simply a mobile high-level treasure chest.

The boat stopped. Nokigo and Nami had never been to the Grand Line and didn't know the situation there. They all looked at Rice with questions in their eyes.

Rice smiled, took out two pointers and said to Nami,"Nami, do you know how to sail next?"

Nami said as a matter of course,"Of course, use a compass and a nautical chart."

Rice shook her head and smiled,"Nami, you don't know.

The geomagnetic, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents of the Grand Line are all in chaos.

It is difficult to even confirm your position, let alone find an island.

The previous navigation technology and experience in the four seas are unreliable.

Only the recording pointer and the permanent pointer are trustworthy.

Because each island is connected only by magnetic force, and the recording pointer can record the magnetism of the island and point to the next island.

There are a total of seven routes on the Grand Line.

Let's choose the one with Whiskey Mountain as the first stop.

"

Nami nodded thoughtfully, and finally understood why Rice took the risk to snatch the recording pointer from the navy:"Then what is the permanent pointer used for?"

Rice explained:"The permanent pointer is a pointer that permanently records a certain island. It can permanently point to that island. It can prevent you from getting lost in the sea."

Nami nodded with sudden enlightenment, and studied the recording pointer with joy and excitement.

For Nami, the appearance of the record pointer is undoubtedly a new door in navigation knowledge.

Nokigo has another question:"Les, why do you need the permanent pointer of Alabasta? Is there anything special?"

Les's expression changed, and he said solemnly:"I found a secret letter on Colonel Mouse's warship. A coup is taking place in Alabasta. The people there are now in dire straits. Let's go and see if we can help the people of Alabasta." Nokigo's eyes lit up and looked at Les with admiration. Her mother Bellmère is a navy, and Les's move is undoubtedly in line with Nokigo's values.

Nami wondered:"Then Les, why do we use the record pointer instead of the permanent pointer to go directly to Alabasta?"

Les's face did not change, and he said:"Alabasta is on the route of the record pointer, which is relatively safer. If we use the permanent pointer directly, there may be unknown dangers on the way. We don't know how far the Kingdom of Alabasta is from us. We may need to replenish water and food on the way. The record pointer will pass through more islands relatively."

Nami and Nokigo heard this and felt that it made sense. They nodded in agreement. To save people, they should consider their own strength first.

Most of what Rice said was nonsense, because he had another purpose.

Rice got off the boat and looked around nearby, but he didn't find Krocas.

Time passed quietly, and in the afternoon, the record pointer was already full of magnetism.

Rice had to give up the search, and the three of them got on the boat, raised the anchor, and set sail.

Nami was gifted, and she aimed in the direction of Whiskey Mountain and said to Rice:"30 degrees north by east°"

Les followed his instructions and turned the rudder, deflecting the direction by 30 degrees.

The warship was on the right course, and Les and the other two were completely relaxed. At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the warship entered a sea area, the weather suddenly became gloomy, and the wind blew violently. Soon, it rained heavily, and the fierce wind blew the warship off the channel.

The three of them naturally couldn't sit idly by. Les turned the rudder in the heavy rain and tried his best to control the direction. Nami and Nokigo hurriedly retracted the sails, and Les hurried to the bottom of the boat to repair the holes.

After a busy time, the three of them were soaked and soaked all over.

But in a moment, the sky cleared up again, and the sun shone through the clouds and shone on the sea.

Les and the other two had a preliminary understanding of the unpredictable weather on the Grand Line.

By the evening, Nami and Nokigo's excitement about arriving at the Grand Line faded and calmed down.

After dinner, the three of them began to pack their luggage and supplies.

There was already a large amount of food and fresh water on the ship for dozens of navy soldiers to drink. For Rice and the other two, they could eat and drink for several months, so they didn't have to worry about supplies for the time being.

The warship rooms were arranged in the same pattern. Rice was still sleeping in the main room in the middle, while Nami and Nokigo slept on both sides.

Late at night, the night was like water, and the dark night enveloped it.

Nami and Nokigo had already fallen asleep.

Rice stood alone on the deck, his thoughts flying.

Thinking carefully about his decision, he couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, if you want to go to Alabasta in the shortest time, you should use a permanent pointer instead of a recording pointer.

But the two giants in the small garden are undoubtedly excellent treasure chest objects, which may improve your combat power.

Rice narrowed his eyes and planned carefully. He dared to do this because of this warship, which was faster than the Merry. Luffy and his crew would still encounter bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak and Miss3 at the small garden. Perhaps they would still have to go to Drum Magnetic Island and harvest Chopper as a partner. It would only take about a day. In my memory, Luffy still had to trek through the desert, and it should be a few days before Crocodile launched a coup. It should be in time.

While Rice was deep in thought, Nami patted Rice on the shoulder and said helplessly:"Les, my captain, where are you going to drive the ship?"
