Robin was the first to come back. She led a team of porters, together with the handymen on the Ghost Shadow, to carry fresh water and food, constantly filling the cabin of the Ghost Shadow.
"When I passed by the branch, I checked it out and found that all the navy inside had been assembled. They might come to cause trouble for us."
Standing next to Rhodes, Robin, who was supervising the many porters and handymen carrying food and fresh water, looked at the naval branch towering in the center of the town and chuckled.
Ross sat on the guardrail of the Ghost Shadow's deck and said without raising his head: "Come here. They are lucky that we didn't bother them."
Robin smiled slightly, held his chin in his hand and said:
"The navy here probably doesn't dare to cause trouble, but the news that we are here must have been sent back to the navy headquarters. There will probably be heavy navy troops waiting for us on the Grand Line."
She naturally knew that the navy here would not pose any trouble to Ross. She only gave a warning because she considered the navy's layout on the Grand Route.
However, how could Ross not understand her reminder? He turned to look at Robin, stretched out his finger and gently hooked her chin with amusement, and said: "I haven't thought of this... The navy is going to arrange it." If so, let them arrange it slowly."
After being teased by Ross, Robin didn't show any blushing expression. Instead, he tilted his head and stared at Ross with a smile.
Ross looked at her for a few seconds, then naturally withdrew his gaze, looked at the sea in the distance, and said, "It's already the end of November in the eleventh year of the Great Pirate Era."
If I remember correctly, Robin is seventeen years old this year, and his birthday should be February 6th, which means that in two and a half months, he will be able to take off the title of Lolita.
"???"
Robin always felt that Ross's words meant something, and there might be a second half of it, but Ross didn't say it out loud, so she was confused.
Half an hour later.
Lafitte returned to the ship and came to Ross. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out something that looked like a watch from somewhere, but instead of a dial, there was a ball and a pointer in the center.
"Is this it? Captain."
Ross took the thing from Lafitte's hand, and after observing it for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is what replaced the chart and compass on the Grand Line."
Rhodes handed the record pointer back to Lafitte to keep on its own.
Half a day later.
Food and fresh water filled the Ghost Shadow's reserve cabin. At Rhodes's order, the Ghost Shadow untied the ship's rope, set sail, left Bellows Town, and headed straight for Upside Down Mountain!
When the Ghost Shadow left Belos Town, the Navy in Belos Town also immediately reported the situation to the Navy Headquarters, but all this has nothing to do with Rhodes for the time being.
…
As the Ghost gradually approached the Grand Line, the weather and currents began to become unpredictable and unpredictable, the waves gradually became turbulent, and the undercurrents on the seabed surged.
Rhodes came to the deck and monitored the course of the Phantom with Lafitte. Under the control of the two, the Phantom did not deviate from the course and fall into the windless zone, but rode the wind and waves towards the Upside Down Mountain. .
"The Grand Line and the Red Continent divide this planet into four seas, east, west, north and south. The ocean currents from the four seas will converge at a certain place and finally flow into the Grand Line... That is the Upside Down Mountain."
Relying on his memory, Ross was calm and calm about the changes in the sea currents. Although this was the West Sea, not the East Sea where Luffy and others walked in the original work, it was just a mirror image gap.
While talking.
In the mist in front of the sea, a magnificent piece of red land stretching all the way to the end of the sight is the Red Earth Continent.
Robin stood on the deck, looking at the red continent in the distance, and said: "What a spectacular sight."
"That is, the Red Earth Continent..." Lafitte had a strange smile on his face, but his unsteady eyes revealed that his heart was also surging like a wave.
Even Rhodes, looking at the divided world from a distance, the extremely spectacular and majestic Red Earth Continent, felt a little excited. What he saw with his own eyes and what he remembered were different after all.
While looking at the Red Continent, Rhodes glanced in the direction of the parallel Grand Route.
Upside Down Mountain is the starting point, the starting point of the first half of the Grand Line, and the end point of the second half of the Grand Line. The final island of Ravdru is mostly hidden in the mist.
but.
Without the guidance of the historical text of the road signs, even if you cut directly from the windless zone to the end of the second half of the Grand Route, you will not be able to find Raff Drew, and you can only wander around like a headless fly.
Ross only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, because he was not interested in the so-called Rafdru or the so-called ONEPIECE, he was only slightly curious about what it was.
Wow!
As the Ghost Shadow gradually approached the Upside Down Mountain, the current became more and more turbulent, carrying the entire ship and slamming it towards the Red Earth Continent.
Under the control of Rhodes and Lafitte, the Ghost sailed into the canal of the retrograde ocean current without any danger, climbed all the way to the top of the Upside Down Mountain, and finally rushed into the Grand Line!
at the same time.
In front of the Twin Gorges Lighthouse on Upside Down Mountain, an old man was sitting there reading a newspaper and basking in the sun. He turned his head in the direction of the Upside Down Mountain Canal. He was Kurokas, the guard of the Twin Gorges Lighthouse, and also the pirate king Roger. ship's doctor.
"Well, there are new people entering the Grand Line. I don't know how far this group can go."
Kurokas put down the newspaper and paused for a moment on the Ghost Shadow, which was rushing down the Upside Down Mountain and gradually sailing into the distance.
He often reads newspapers and has read newspapers from all over the world. He has some impression of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but it is only a little impression.
Because this is the starting point of the Grand Line, countless pirates have poured in from here in the past eleven years, but there are very few people who can make a name for themselves on the Grand Line. Perhaps the Ghost Hand Pirates are just one of them. Just an inconspicuous wave.
So after just a few glances, Kurokas withdrew his gaze.
…
A few days later.
The news that the Ghost Hand Pirates left the West Sea and entered the Grand Line spread throughout the West Sea. While countless pirates and navy breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes also focused on the Grand Line.
The great sea route, known as the 'Grave of Pirates', has silently devoured many great pirates who ruled the Western Sea in more than ten years. Many of those pirate groups have bounties as high as 70 to 80 million.
now.
The Ghost Hand Pirates have also set foot on the Grand Route. Whether they will turn into a small wave that is annihilated on the Grand Route, or whether they can rise with the wind and turn into a storm that sweeps the Grand Route, no one has an answer.
