NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26: 026 New Life Choice, Reverse Mountain
"Ah?" The navigator suspected that he heard wrongly. Did the colonel just say to bring the ship over?
"I said move the ship over, do I need to repeat myself?"
"No... no need. I'll get someone to steer the ship over!" The navigator quickly saluted and ran off.
Ever since they witnessed Lynch's unparalleled power that day, every Marine on the ship has trusted the colonel completely.
The warship moved towards the direction of the storm without hesitation.
Looking at the seaspout that could destroy the ship, the soldiers on the ship swallowed their saliva, hoping that they would not get caught...
The dark cumulonimbus clouds seemed to be pressing down on people's hearts, making them breathless.
Boom, boom, boom.
Scattered fist-sized ice rain hit the deck, and Lynch strode onto the bow.
"Colonel Lynch!"
"Lord Colonel."
The soldiers around him all looked at Lynch in awe.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Lynch reassured everyone.
The next moment, he transformed into a thirty-meter tall Sun candle and rushed high into the sky without hesitation.
"Roar!"
Roars like dragons and tigers resounded across the sky.
Thunder, fire, frost. Dozens of barrel-thick attribute light beams blasted towards the bad weather ahead,
Thunder exploded, scattering the dark clouds. Flames evaporated the rain and cloud, slicing through the sky like sharp swords. Each waterspout froze solid on the sea.
It was like a scene of God creating the world, which was frightening to the people on board.
The same thought crossed everyone's mind: Luckily, this man is on our side
Boom.
Lynch transformed into a human again and landed on the bow of the ship. The dark clouds ahead became calm and the sun was shining brightly.
Only waterspout ice sculptures like works of art existed on the sea surface, telling everyone that the scene just now was not a dream.
The defeat of natural disasters by human power!
"Gulp." The navigator looked at Lynch blankly. Mr. Lynch seemed to be the most powerful navigator.
While other navigators struggled with natural disasters like waterspouts and thunderstorm, but Lynch effortlessly navigated through these 'scary' natural disasters.
How can one describe it as just awesome?
This is the top tier navigator.
"Okay, that's great."
"Long live Colonel Lynch!"
After a moment of silence, the ship erupted into an overwhelming cheer, and the admiration for Lynch grew to a new level.
After solving the matter at hand, Lynch did not dare to relax for a moment and returned to the room to continue exercising.
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Tom in the corner, lazily panting.
"This cat... I've been exercising for days, and he's been sleeping for days. Is he even a cat or just a pig?"
"Tom, get up and exercise together. You're also a Marine now and you can't be lazy."
"Meow meow meow?"
Tom was woken up, his innocent eyes were watery, as if he was saying that I was just an ordinary kitten.
"Stop pretending, don't be lazy, come and exercise together."
Under Lynch's coercion, Tom sighed in defeat, and then... did sit-ups.
"Huff, huff, huff~"
After a few actions, Tom's patience ran out, he stuck out his tongue and pretended to be tired, and his speed became slower and slower.
"Tom, if you dare to be lazy, today's dried fish will be gone."
"!"
Tom's body trembled at the threat, casting a resentful glance at Lynch. He resumed his sit-ups with renewed vigor, moving as fast as lightning.
Two hours later.
The cute kitten that was originally only 90cm tall disappeared, and a muscular cat with a height of two meters, eight-pack abs and a big gold chain appeared.
Tom even had a big gold tooth in his mouth.
Lynch couldn't help but marvel at Tom's transformation.
What a sight!
Tom stood proudly in front of the mirror, striking poses with great narcissism.
However, within half an hour of stopping his exercise, Tom naturally reverted back to his original 90cm cute kitten.
From then on, Lynch no longer forced Tom to exercise.
The end of the year 1506 on the Sea Circle calendar passed quietly aboard the ship, and Sea Circle 1507 arrived silently.
Twelve days have passed since they set sail.
Unfortunately, during this time, they encountered only a few small pirate groups, and just managed to capture just one person with devil fruit abilities.
It was only after becoming an officer, Lynch learned that capturing a devil fruit user and sending them to a deep-sea prison earned him as much military merit as destroying a small pirate crew.
There happened to be ten cells under the cabin. If one cell held ten people, it could also hold 100 people. …
As they neared Reverse Mountain, the system suddenly beeped.
[New Life Choices Triggered]
[Option 1: Sail directly to East Blue. Reward: 500 points.]
[Option 2: Kill 1,000 pirates at the foot of Reverse Mountain. Reward: 20% mall discount coupon.]
[Option 3: Guard Reverse Mountain's foot for a month, defeat all pirates. Reward: 10% mall discount coupon.]
"Choose three."
"Sailor, change the course and go to Reverse Mountain."
"Yes, Boss Lynch!"
After being out for so long, it's time to explain things to Sengoku.
No one has ever tried to block the door and control Reverse Mountain, not even the World Government.
One reason is that if they block the area here, they'll have to face pirates from around the world. While they can manage it temporarily, sustaining such an effort isn't feasible in the long run given the resources required.
At that time, the pirates had just entered the Grand Line.. If they were left alone, half of them would die in less than three months, which would be a thankless task.
There is another reason, there is a former crew member of Pirate King living under the Reverse Mountain.
Since these old guys have retired, the World Government doesn't want to mess with them, otherwise they wouldn't have let Rayleigh stay in Sabaody Archipelago for so many years.
The Roger Pirates, except for Roger's high-end combat power, their overall abilities are almost all still there. It would not be a good idea for these old guys to go crazy.
But if they could really block the Reverse Mountain, it would be a heavy blow to the pirates.
"Woo~"
The ship was sailing on the sea, and the lighthouse at the foot of the Reverse Mountain could be vaguely seen in the distance. Suddenly, a deafening scream came, and everyone covered their ears in pain.
"It's really loud," Hina said, her face scrunching up.
Boom~boom~boom~!
The loud noises echoed like thunder drums, filling everyone's ears.
"You guys stay on the ship, I'll go take a look." Lynch stepped on sky usingMoonwalk and disappeared into the mist.
"Laboon?"
Up close, Lynch saw it was a mountain-sized whale striking the Red Line, also known as Reverse Mountain.
Blood flowed down the top of his head.
Lynch has an impression of this whale that appeared in the original plot.
So he said loudly: "Laboon, stop, I have something to tell you."
Laboon has a very high IQ. Hearing this, he slowly lowered his tall head and roared at Lynch.
"Woo~"
Lynch stood in front of Laboon. Lynch body was not as big as Laboon eyes.
"Laboon, Brook asked me to tell you something. His journey is still going on, and he'll return to you in about 20 years later. Please don't keep banging your head against the Red Line."
