Chapter 174 Blessing For The Long Watch
The intrusion of the giant beast was just an episode, and it had no effect on the carp's navigation!
It still maintains the original high speed, driving towards the end point in front of us!
"boom!!!"
Amidst the loud noise, because of the film-the waves exploded!
Relying on the solidity of the ship, the Carp took advantage of the current with a drop of several thousand meters, threw it directly into the sea without any protection, and submerged under the sea surface under the action of huge potential energy!
In the gold-red transparent compartment on the deck.
Uchiha Shinta stretched out his right hand to support Nami, helping her counteract the huge inertia; gently pressed the tea set with his left hand to avoid a mess on the table!
Outside the compartment, the Setsuna room is completely blue, and there seems to be an infinite mystery hidden in the darkness. Only the irregular sky light above the head is shaking with the fluctuation of the sea surface, which is the only light in this world!
The magnificent and unpredictable sea is staged here!
"Wow! It's so beautiful!!!"
The orange-haired girl raised her head in amazement and sighed that this was like a magical world version of the fantasy scene, and she had no worries about sinking into the sea!
Long before going down the upside-down mountain, the multi-functional, modern and fully automatic carp has become a fully enclosed form under the command, and additional items are fixed in the cabin to prevent bumps!
Uchiha Shinta raised his cup with his left hand, took a sip of hot tea, and admired the strange and ordinary beauty, the invisible force still firmly suppressed the utensils on the coffee table!
After a while, the Carp, whose inertia was completely eliminated, began to float under the action of buoyancy!
A bulge appeared on the surface of the sea first, and then it became bigger and bigger until it exploded with a bang!
"Wow!!!"
The carp jumped out suddenly, soaring into the sky under the sun, the golden red outer scales just bathed in the water were shining brightly, as if a second sun appeared!
After rising to the highest level, the Carp began to fall back again!
After a loud "bang", the big golden-red ship that fell again could no longer sink into the sea!
The seawater under pressure just reached the waist of the boat and began to support it to float up!
After several times of ups and downs, the carp sailed a certain distance, left the waterfall pool, and regained its stability!
Far away from the roar of the running water on the Upside Down Mountain, Nami finally let go of his heart that has been hanging, turned his head and was about to share his feelings with Uchiha Shinta, expressing his feelings about this thrilling trip to the Upside Down Mountain!
Suddenly, bursts of strange mournful sounds came to her ears, making her stand up curiously, push open the small door of the golden red compartment, and come to the side of the ship to peek!
"Woooo!!!"
Not far from the Carp, the giant black beast that was threatened by Uchiha Shinta just now was floating on the water surface, its huge eyes were full of fear, but it still refused to move away from it and kept whining!
Nami took a closer look, suddenly overjoyed, and waved at Uchiha Shinta!
"Fol! Foll! Come here!"
"This is the legendary island whale!"
"It's just a bigger sea beast, what's so interesting about it!"
Uchiha Shinta walked to the side of the ship, looked at the terrified black giant beast, and responded with a lack of interest!
He is generally not very interested in these ugly creatures in the sea, especially small animals that can't even bear the oppression!
Don't do it, it's too much of an eyesore!
Do it, it will inevitably end up bullying the weak!
After all, he still has the ordinary three views, and he has not developed a temperament that all living beings are like ants, and if they don't like it, they will perish
As for the whale on the island in front of me, I was quite interested before I saw it, but after seeing it, it was completely disabled!
Not at all cute in anime!
For the sake of its Isshin's waiting, I will give it a sword at most!
"what do you know!"
Nami didn't care about his attitude, and still happily looked at the whales on the island not far away, talking about the knowledge he had learned in the past, and comparing it with the reality!
"When I read books before, I knew that there are all kinds of giant beasts in the sea, such as lantern fish, island whales and so on!"
"At the beginning, I always wanted to see and see, but unfortunately I never had the chance! But I didn't expect to see it here!"
"Look at its big oval head and expressive eyes, it is exactly the same as the figure drawn in the book!"
"..."
While talking, she suddenly frowned, apparently a little dissatisfied!
"It just looks a little too small?"
"It's not as big as the island in the book! Could it be a baby whale?"
"And the scar on its head, too ugly!"
"Did you hit a cliff just now?"
The ugly criss-cross scars on the big head of the island whale are very eye-catching. At first, Nami thought it just happened, but after careful observation, he found that the guess was wrong!
Among these scars, there is some blood dripping on the surface, obviously just hit!
But most of them are old wounds that have already scarred. Compared with the surrounding skin, they look hideous!
"Could it be.....this island whale is the guardian beast of Upside Down Mountain?!!"
Nami's brain was wide open, and she guessed with divergent thinking!
"Whenever adventurers from all over the world want to go to the Grand Line, they must go through its trials?"
"And these scars are the medals left by all those who entered the Grand Line?"
"Hahahaha! You guessed wrong, little girl!"
A hearty laugh came from afar from the sea!
"Laboon is just trying to break away from the Red Line to find the friend he made a promise with fifty years ago!"
"How could something enter the Grand Line trial!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Nami, who was interrupted, turned her head in embarrassment, knowing that there was a third person in the vast sea who was eavesdropping again!
But seeing a small boat slowly approaching a hundred meters away, it could be vaguely seen that it was a coquettish old man with petal-like hairstyle and fancy short-sleeves, and he couldn't help being extremely shocked!
She raised her hand to compare the distance!
So far away, can you still hear your own voice?
Nami looked up at Uchiha Shinta, trying to ask the "encyclopedia" beside him, but saw that he was restraining the twist of the corner of his mouth!
Suddenly her cheeks puffed up, and she stared at the young man with bright and sparkling eyes, conveying the meaning clearly!
You must be laughing at me, right?
You must have laughed at me just now!!!
Uchiha Shinta looked calm and shook his head calmly, as if he was just a little fussed by Nami's surprise just now!
"In this world, the upper limit of human physique!"
"People who have been trained can flatten a mountain with one punch, and some strong people can even hear the movement of outer space!"
"Comparatively speaking, the distance of a few hundred meters is nothing to the old man on the sea!"
"This little brother seems to know a lot!"
The coquettish old man's voice came again, making Nami calm down!
She decides to give Uchiha Shinta a face in front of outsiders, and settle accounts next time!
Xiaozhou and Carp are heading towards each other, and the distance is getting closer!
While talking, the coquettish old man in fancy short-sleeves had already rowed a boat to the bottom of the Carp!
"My name is Crocus, and I am the Tower Keeper of Twin Sounds!"
He raised his head and yelled at Uchiha Shinta and Nami!
"I heard Laboon's cry just now, and I thought that someone encountered it when it hit the Upside Down Mountain every day, and I was worried about an accident, so I hurried over to save people!"
"I didn't expect it to be two such young brothers!"
"By the way, Laboon is the island fish!"
"The young lady was right about one thing just now, it is indeed still a child!"
Facing Crocus' formal greeting, Nami casts his sights on Uchiha Shinta, apparently following the custom at sea and letting the captain make up his mind!
"My name is Foer and she is Nami!"
Uchiha Shinta did not refuse, and nodded politely towards Crocus!
"We are travelers from East Blue, planning to travel around the world!"
"I met Laboon just now, I thought it was the attacking sea phoenix!"
"So it scares it enough, maybe I need to trouble the old man to comfort it more!"
"Ugh!"
Crocus held his oars and shook his head helplessly!
"Actually, in my heart, I really hope that you can scare it so that it won't hit the Reversing Mountain again!"
"Because if it goes on like this, it will die sooner or later!"
"die?"
Nami was confused, and his eyes wandered to the island whale Laboon, feeling a little strange!
Animals have survival instincts, and if their lives are about to be endangered, they should stop by themselves, right?
"Yes! Either hit the cliff and die, or be killed by the people from the sea!"
Crocus looked at Laboon lovingly, then raised his head and asked Uchiha Shinta and others!
"I don't know, do you want to hear the story of Laboon?"
Uchiha Shinta and Nami looked at each other, and extended an invitation with respect for the old and the young!
"Then invite the old man to come up and talk!"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Carp received the order, and the ship's side began to deform, the frame twisted, and the scales proliferated, turning into a long golden-red ladder extending to the Crocus ship!
Crocus was obviously surprised by this peculiar way of getting on the boat, but after his pupils shrank, he broke out into a habitual laugh!
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect to see such an interesting boat here!"
"Is it some novel technology?"
After he stepped onto the boat, the long ladder turned into a rope, and the boat was firmly tied!
Uchiha Shinta and Nami led him to the golden-red transparent compartment and tapped on the deck!
With the sound of "click", the golden red transparent scales faded, and the holy seat was bathed in the sea breeze again!
0......seeking flowers......
The three of Uchiha Shinta sat opposite each other in front of the tea table!
"Master Crocus, what the hell is going on with Laboon?"
As long as it doesn't involve evil dragons and murlocs, Nami is usually kind!
Curiosity and compassion arose at the same time at the same time, so naturally I was too busy to urge Crocus to explain the ins and outs clearly, and I hope he can help!
Because of this, Uchiha Shinta feels that Nami fits well with his personality, because the three views are basically similar!
"Alas! This story has to be told from 50 years ago. At that time, there was a Rumba Pirates in West Blue. They were all bold pirates. The music on the ship kept going after they went out to sea!
"At that time, Laboon was just a baby whale that was only a few meters long. After being separated from the group, it met with the Rumba Pirates......"
Crocus sat down and sipped his hot tea, sighed, remembering the past!
"During the voyage, they formed a deep friendship with Laboon, and they are partners who can rely on each other for life!"
"It's a pity that after coming to the Grand Line, the Rumba Pirates found that they were not strong enough to protect their close partners!"
"I remember that moment, everyone on the Rumba Pirates was crying!"
Uchiha Shinta and Nami looked at each other, raised their hands in tacit understanding, and continued to listen to Crocus's story!"
"In desperation, the Rumba Pirates finally made up their minds to bid farewell to Laboon!"
"At that time, I was already guarding the tower here, and their
The captain entrusted me to take care of Laboon, and made a promise with Laboon: to travel around the world in three years, and then take him on a trip together!"
00
"But it's been fifty years since they left, and they haven't come back yet.
Crocus turned his head to look at the sea, Laboon was still whining, but still refused to leave in fear!
"It is a whale with human emotions, which gives it superb wisdom, allows him to appreciate the beauty of friendship, and also makes it fall into endless pain."
"Over the years, Laboon finally couldn't bear the desire to find his partner in his heart, and kept bumping into the Upside Down Mountain every day, trying to find the Rumba Pirates!"
"Because they promised with Laboon that they would come back from this side of the mountain!"
Uchiha Shinta felt his hands being tightly clenched, turned around and saw that Nami was already crying!
"Woooo! It's so touching! Woohoo!"
"Fol! Let's help it!"
"It just so happens that there are only two of us on board, take it to find the footprints of the Rumba Pirates, and we can have an extra partner by the way!"
She pleaded to Uchiha Shinta with staring red eyes!
"don't want!"
Uchiha Shinta refused indifferently, and his heart was unmoved!
"It's so ugly, it doesn't match our style of painting at all!"
Uchiha Shinta stood up with a bamboo knife in his right hand, took Nami to the side of the boat with his left hand, and looked at the screaming Laboon!
"I'll send it where it needs to go!"
"Brother, what is the place where it should go?"
Crocus, who was keenly aware of the difference in what Uchiha Shinta said, followed quickly and asked curiously!
"Naturally, it is the place where the Rumba Pirates are buried!"
Uchiha Shinta unsheathed the bamboo sword in his hand, and swung it towards Laboon with unparalleled power, feeling the floating clouds and cutting the ground!
"Yellow Spring·Hell Brigade!"
"No!" x2
Nami and Crocus exclaimed subconsciously, but they were stopped by the invisible oppressive feeling brought by Uchiha Shinta's swinging knife!
next moment!
The invisible space tore a straight rift behind Laboon, revealing the sea that connects to nowhere, completely shrouded in black mist!
The endless water flow under the upside-down mountain uses the potential difference to pour into the gap in the space!
Laboon is like a bug stuck in the toilet, and can only roll in with the sea water!
As if startled by the sudden influx of the sea, an old broken ship suddenly floated from nowhere in the sea area opposite the space rift, and melodious piano music was played from it.
Empty echo!
As if attracted by the sound, the mournful Laboon stopped struggling, turned around and swam towards the opposite side of the space rift along the vortex of the sea water!
"Yohohohoho! Yohohohoho! Bring Binks' wine to your side! Like the sea breeze, ride the wind and waves! On the other side of the sea, the sunset is also noisy with the singing of birds...
"We pirates! Cleave the waves! Sleep on the waves! Home is on the boat! Skull sails and skull flags! Flying in the wind! Under the boundless sky... Not without it! Tomorrow's sunrise..."
The melodious tune was transmitted to the golden red ship, and the space gap cut by Uchiha Shinta gradually closed under the oppression of the world!
Just before closing, Botou walked onto the bow and happily waved to his new partner, "The scarred island whale issued a long-lost long-lost cry of joy!".
