[OP] The Story of Ming Shi

"Captain, it's not good! The night is coming to the southwest, it's the Cumulus cloud!"

"What, what time is it now!"

"It's only ten o'clock! Much earlier than expected!"

Such a conversation came from the boat next door, and Sola couldn't help but look at the southwest sky with some concern. Is Sky Island just above that?

"What's the matter?" Usopp and Sanji rushed out of the cabin respectively.

"The cumulus cloud appeared, much earlier than expected, but we don't know the current situation yet!" Nami shouted at them.

Sola paid attention to the situation of the orangutan explorers who jumped into the sea, and saw that they immediately emerged from the sea and reported the situation to their superiors.

"Confirm the reflection of the sound wave! A large ocean current has been found in the direction of twelve o'clock!"

"A large creature was found in the direction of nine o'clock, it is estimated to be a Neptune!"

"The ocean current in the direction of ten o'clock has produced a countercurrent wave, which may create a huge vortex!"

"That's it!" the orangutan leader shouted, "The boat turned to the direction of ten o'clock! That's a sign of an explosion, we're going to be caught in the vortex, don't back down!"

Caught in a vortex!Sola's scalp tingled when he heard that, so he wanted to go through this kind of procedure?At this time the boat started to shake, Sora hurriedly hugged the railing to prevent himself from being thrown out.

"The waves suddenly became higher!"

"It's the foreshock of the explosion, everyone be careful!" the leader of the orangutan reminded everyone.

Under Robin's reminder, Nami looked at the record pointer, and the pointer pointed directly above.Sola leaned on the wall and walked to the front deck, and then heard the leader of the orangutan say to lead them to the orbit of the whirlpool.

"What's next? What are we going to do?" Nami asked.

"Follow the orbit of the vortex, and try to move towards the center of the vortex without changing the direction!" The other party replied.

"...I'm just kidding..." Sora heard some weakness in the voice of Christo next to her.

Sola could see that huge vortex, so she naturally understood her feelings... Such a big vortex...

"I'm getting sucked in—" Usopp screamed.

"I never heard of being swept down!" Nami roared hysterically.

"No problem! Nami-san Robin-chan and Kristo-chan will be protected by me!" This is... Sanji who is confused.

"Stupid Sanji! You've had enough of you!" Sora wiped the water off his face and swears unbearably.

"This is the first time I've seen such a big vortex..." Robin was surprised and calm.

Chopper looked excited and didn't know what he was thinking, but Sola felt that he didn't seem to realize the danger of this maelstrom.

"I don't want it, I don't want it, turn around!" Usopp shouted with a blue face and his head in his arms.

"It's too late for Usopp, you just obey fate." Zoro comforted him calmly, "We've all been involved."

"Let's go, go to Sky Island! Hahahaha——" Luffy seems to have no idea what it means to be afraid...

At this time, a huge Neptune jumped up from the surface of the sea, and then... was sucked into the depths of the vortex... and sank.

Everyone was quiet.

A voice came from a distance: "You go well, I wish you good luck, and then it's up to you!"

Sora doesn't know what Luffy and the others are up to, he only knows that their ship is about to be swallowed by the vortex... I don't know if it's true, can they go to Sky Island in this way?But all I can do now is to believe... Ahhh, what a mess!

In a burst of screams, they fell into the center of the vortex...the calm sea.

"What, the vortex disappeared?"

"Why, what happened?"

Everyone felt strange and looked around.Looking at the sea, Sora swallowed: "Unbelievable..."

He felt the amazing energy hidden under this calm, at the bottom of the sea!He is saving energy, waiting for the explosion!Is this the calm before the storm... no, the calm before the explosion?

Nami also felt something: "The vortex just disappeared at the bottom of the sea..."

"Stop!" A voice yelled from afar.

Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be a wooden raft.

The people above seemed to be coming for Luffy, and Nami and the others knew each other, and they seemed to be people they met in the previous city.

The leader on the raft shouted: "I'm here to take your [-] million heads, accept your fate!"

Sola didn't pay attention to the situation over there, they seemed to be talking about offering a reward or something... Sola stared at the sea, making a gurgling sound from his throat.

"You, what's the matter with you!" Christo couldn't help asking seeing Sola's strange appearance.

"Come, come..." Sola's voice trembled, "This is, the upward current..."

A huge jet of water shot up into the sky and shattered Blackbeard's Mufazi. Even the strengthened Merry would be choking, but it still went up to the sky smoothly!

All kinds of screams could be heard on the boat at any time, Sora looked up, feeling indescribably excited.

"What's the matter now?"

"The boat sails vertically on the water column!"

"Wow! So interesting!" Luffy was still excited.

"What is the principle!" Usopp was about to cry.

"It's gravity! The gravity of the water column!" Christo's voice was a little sharper than usual.

"Okay, this way we can go to the sky. Go ahead, Merry—" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"...Wait a minute, things don't seem to be that simple." Sanji said.

"What's wrong, did you forget something?" Luffy asked.

Sora also realized that something was wrong: "The hull is floating! We will fall!"

At this time, the large Neptune fell from above!

"Look! It's only a matter of time before we become like that!" Sanji stated.

"Hey, let's talk about this now... The boat came up with the power of the explosion, how can we rely on ourselves now!" Zoro said.

"It's impossible to overcome gravity!" Crystal screamed.

"Ahhh—a lot of things have fallen! Are they victims of the rising current!" Chopper exclaimed.

"We're done, we're going to fall and we'll all die!"

Sora looked at Nami who had been thinking for a while, and he called out, "Nami-san!"

"Raise the sails, right now!" Nami gave the order immediately.

"Huh?" Everyone obviously didn't understand why they did this.

"This is the sea, not a column of water, but a rising current. Then the wind blowing from below is the rising air generated by geothermal heat and steam explosion."

Hearing what Nami said, Sora seemed to understand instantly.

"As long as the opponent is the wind and the sea, I can sail for you." Nami said confidently, "Who is the navigator on board!"

"It's Nami-san!" Sanji said with loving eyes.

Raise the sails, and the airflow from bottom to top takes the boat up!The boat was full of laughter again, Sora remembered the time when he passed the Upside Down Mountain, it was the same as that time!The Merry, carrying the excited and excited crew members, rushed towards the clouds!

Surrounded by white, Sora blinked, he felt a little tight in the chest, but this did not hinder his excitement, here is the sky, surrounded by clouds!And they float on the clouds, the sea surrounded by clouds, this is Kukai!

"Is everyone here?" Zhuo Luo asked, everyone looked around quickly, but fortunately no one was thrown out.

At this time, Chopper exclaimed: "Ah, Usopp is not breathing!"

"what!"

Chopper rushed to rescue Usopp, and Luffy also rushed over.Sora took a closer look, and there seemed to be nothing serious. Usopp might have suffered a cardiac arrest from fright... So it's very possible...

Usopp immediately regained his energy. After laughing for a while, he said that he would go to the first stop in Kukai—swimming!

Sola couldn't hold back when he heard that he was going to swim, disregarding Zoro's words that he should be careful if he was unfamiliar here, he took off his coat and jumped into the white sea.

"Ah... Really." Sanji shrugged helplessly, "But forget it, Usopp is even worse alone, with Sora around, he will feel relieved."

"Hey, why do you say that?" Crystal asked on the side, and Robin also looked at him.

"Ah? Oh, you don't know yet, actually Sora is..." Sanji stopped at this point, so it shouldn't matter if he just said it?Crystal and Robin are also companions.So Sanji continued: "Yes, there are gills."

"what?"

the other side.

Swimming in Kukai's sea feels different from normal sea.The buoyancy here is not as strong as in ordinary sea water, and the vision is not very clear. Surrounded by clouds, it is a vast expanse of white.Does it get dark at night too?Sora thought, he took a deep breath, speeded up and went downstream, and didn't see Usopp...

As he was swimming, Sora suddenly thought of one thing—Kurami seems to have no seabed, right?If you continue swimming like this...you won't fall from the sky!

"Usopp!" Sora yelled, and he accelerated down.Immediately she saw Usopp's figure.

"Usopp, don't go down anymore!" Sola called Usopp, but Usopp didn't seem to hear anything, just kept going downstream, Sora felt bad, rushed down to grab Usopp ankle.But who knew that at this moment a huge force pulled them down, and in just a short moment, most of Sora's body was pulled out of the water.Sora knew that this was the end, if this went on, both of them would fall down and die!

Sola tried desperately to get back into the empty sea, but it backfired, his struggles were ineffective, and the two of them fell from the cloud together.

"Ahhhh-"

Unable to tell who was screaming, Sola could only feel the wind blowing from above—he didn't want to die like this!

This is, Sora saw an arm stretched down, it was Luffy!

Although Sola is very grateful but... Nima's distance is too far!Can't reach it, can't reach it, can't reach it at all!

At this time, a series of arms grew out along with the petals, and they immediately held the stretched hand of the cable.It's Robin!Sola was almost grateful, and then they returned to the sea of ​​clouds, and quickly bounced upwards.

Sora looked around, he always felt that there was something here from the very beginning.Sure enough, a strange snake-like fish appeared all the time, and a huge octopus appeared together with it.

Sora broke off Luffy's hand that was wrapped around him, and wrapped it around Usopp.I went to block the two creatures from approaching.This seems to be the so-called empty fish. Sanji-san seems very interested... Just catch one and take it home. He is also curious about what empty fish tastes like.

When Sora stunned the flat, empty fish and dragged it onto the boat, he happened to see Zoro finish off the big hollow octopus.

Christo pulled Sola up from the sea, looking at Sola with meaningful eyes, Sola felt very strange

At this time, Usopp, who was originally stiff, suddenly jumped up, pulled out a small flat fish from his pants, and then kept murmuring, "Sky Island is so scary, Sky Island is so scary (in an infinite loop...)"

"Is this the empty fish mentioned in Rolando's diary?" Robin picked up the vigorous empty fish and observed it carefully. "I'm afraid it evolved into various forms in order to survive."

"So it's either a balloon or a flat one," Zoro said.

"It's better to make yourself lighter," Robin said.

Sola nodded: "The buoyancy of the sea here is weaker than that of the sea on the ground, and there is no bottom, so if you are not careful, you will fall."

"Oh...it's amazing." Krystal tied her hair behind her ears and smiled at Sora, "It's the same as you, isn't it?"

"...What?" Second Monk Sola scratched his head.

"I didn't know that humans have gills." As soon as Christo said this, Sora's expression changed.

Why would she know?Sola looked at Robin stiffly, and she smiled at herself friendly, the smile was no different from usual: "Mr. Cook told us, I've never heard of it... He also said that your father is a human and your mother is a murloc. Here? It seems that you look more like your father."

Robin's attitude eased Sora's uneasiness a lot, even though Crystal's attitude was still unclear, Sora was still very uneasy.

At this time, Sanji cooked the small empty fish, and Luffy, who was trying to eat it, sighed.Sola hastily moved over, a little unnaturally avoiding Christo's sight.

"Delicious? I want to try it too!" Sola grabbed a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth without any explanation, and swallowed it without even tasting it.

"How is it?" Sanji asked.

Sola looked at him blankly for two seconds, then turned around and left.

"...Hey, what's your attitude!" This is the inexplicable Sanji.

The author has something to say:

2014 is coming to an end... I feel weird when I write the date at the beginning of every year... I don't know if everyone will be the same.

Well, the new year is upon us...

This article is also...cough, it should be over soon, right?

Since there are not many manuscripts to be prepared for the final exam, the update speed is still slow (it can be guaranteed once a week before the winter vacation, maybe?) After the holiday, it will be updated, wait for three weeks...

By the way, Mina-san has been diving for so long, can I take a break?

Said that I am lonely without leaving a message...
