In the violent storm, there were huge waves on the sea, causing the Ghost Shadow to rise and fall, making it difficult to maintain a stable course.
"How long until the first island?"
Under the command of Navigator Lafitte, Robin used her ability to constantly change the sails, barely controlling the ship's course in the storm, and many handymen were also struggling to support it.
Lafitte stood there with a serious expression, looking at the record pointer on his wrist, and said: "It's hard to judge. This is my first time entering the Grand Line. I didn't expect the weather and currents here to be so troublesome. Now they have deviated from the established schedule." Channel."
"It doesn't matter."
Rhodes walked out of the cabin at some point and stood firmly on the Ghost Shadow, which was rising and falling with the waves, and said: "As long as you always sail in the direction of the record pointer, you will definitely reach a certain island."
Rhodes didn't know exactly which island they would arrive at. There were at least six or seven routes on the Grand Line, and theirs was probably not the route taken by the Straw Hats.
Wow!
In the violent storm, a wave of about twenty meters high appeared from the fog in front, swept over like earth-shaking, and crashed into the Ghost Shadow.
"careful!"
Lafitte's expression changed.
Robin was also shocked. She was a Devil Fruit user, and the waves coming down like this were very unfriendly to her, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
At the critical moment, Ross pulled out the famous sword Chunle from his waist. With a thought, he surrounded it with armed domineering energy and slashed out a sword against the waves.
laugh!
The sword energy wielded by Ross with brute force, inspired by the famous sword Chunle, was as powerful as the Lanjia released by the Ghost Spider. It violently split the nearly 20-meter-high wave from the center, and the Ghost Shadow also had He crossed the waves without any risk.
When the strength reaches a certain level, the weird weather on the Grand Line will no longer be able to stop the footsteps of the truly strong. Those who will be defeated by the weather are mostly ordinary small pirate groups.
"Captain is mighty."
Lafitte smiled and gave a timely compliment.
After the Ghost Shadow crossed the waves, the scene immediately changed. Two different shadows appeared in the fog on the left and right front. One was a pirate ship, and the other was exuding a cold air, and it was a piece of longitudinal shadow. A huge block of ice nearly a hundred meters wide!
"A pirate ship was found in the left front, and a huge ice block was found in the right front."
After Robin saw the situation clearly in the fog, he immediately reported to Rhodes Hui.
At this moment, the undercurrent on the seafloor suddenly surged violently. The Ghost Shadow was instantly swept up by the undercurrent and slammed into the direction of the huge ice block.
not far away.
A group of pirates on the unknown pirate ship, when Robin discovered them, they naturally also discovered the existence of the Ghost Shadow. Compared to the Ghost Shadow, they looked much more embarrassed in the violent storm, and the sails seemed to be damaged. Many holes were broken by hail.
"Boss! There's a ship over there, it's a pirate ship!"
The captain of the pirate ship listened to his subordinates' report and frowned as he looked in the direction of the Ghost Shadow. The ship's hull was now seriously damaged and he didn't really want to conflict with other pirate ships in such stormy weather.
But just when he was about to order a change of course to avoid the Ghost Shadow, he suddenly saw the Ghost Shadow being swept up by the undercurrent on the sea floor and crashing into a huge ice block in the distance. It continued to accelerate during the whole process. The going up seemed unstoppable.
"Huh?!"
"Don't panic, be careful of the undercurrents on the bottom of the sea, and stabilize the hull first."
The pirate captain looked at this scene, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. If the other party hits a huge ice block and is shattered to pieces, this advantage will naturally be in vain.
Rather than saying that the Ghost Shadow hit the huge ice block floating on the sea, it is better to say that the huge ice block hit the Ghost Shadow. From the looks of it, the huge ice block was just enough to smash the Ghost Shadow into pieces, and then Passed by their ship.
However.
Before the Ghost Shadow hit the huge ice block, a figure flew up from the Ghost Shadow, flew through the air in the violent storm, and landed on the huge ice block under the gaze of many astonished eyes.
"Someone jumped out of the boat."
"That guy is actually flying in the sky? Am I dazzled?"
Many pirates on the unknown pirate ship were looking in the direction of the Ghost Shadow, and when they saw this scene, they all showed a bit of surprise and astonishment.
And at the next moment, Ross's figure had fallen onto the huge ice block.
Click!
The moment Ross' figure fell on it, cracks appeared in the huge ice block under the action of the force of distortion, centering on Ross's position, spreading in all directions.
boom!
There was a final explosion, and a huge block of ice nearly a hundred meters wide exploded violently in the storm, turning into countless small ice blocks that shot out in all directions.
The Ghost Shadow, which was about to hit the ice, easily ran over the small broken ice and stabilized the hull.
“…”
Many pirates on the unknown pirate ship, including the captain, had already been shocked by this scene, and many of them had expressions of almost disbelief.
"That iceberg... broke..."
"Am I dreaming?"
The pirate captain couldn't help but swallowed when he saw this scene. He was also an extraordinary pirate in the North Sea. He had a bounty of 13 million Baileys, but this kind of thing flew into the sky in the storm and was smashed into pieces. The giant ice, almost like an iceberg, still scared him.
When he noticed that the Ghost Shadow in the distance seemed to have turned its bow and headed towards his ship, he suddenly became excited and his eyes showed panic.
"Quick! Turn quickly!"
Wow!
The undercurrent on the bottom of the sea surged again, and by chance, it enveloped his ship, taking his ship far away at high speed, gradually away from the Ghost.
Watching the Ghost Shadow disappear into the mist, the pirate captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a look of horror on his face. The pirates under his command breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other for a while.
"I think... let's go back to Beihai."
"… Um."
Everyone nodded in perfect agreement.
…
Ross, who shattered the giant ice and returned to the deck, looked at the unknown pirate ship being swept away by the undercurrent in the sea and quickly disappearing into the mist, and withdrew his gaze.
For this nameless pirate group wandering in the initial area of the Grand Line, Ross was like a senior warrior returning to the novice village, and had no interest in the chickens in the novice village.
No experience is added at all, and gold coins may be dropped a little.
"Steady course and keep moving forward."
Ross looked up at the sky that was gradually getting clearer. He didn't change the course just now to go to the pirate ship, but the recording pointer pointed to that direction.
Lafitte bowed and responded: "Okay, Captain."
