Chapter 40
“I want to be a brave sea warrior!”
“I want to be the world’s greatest swordsman!”
“I want to find all blue!”
“I want to draw sea charts all over the world!”
Everyone was very excited, and finally everyone looked at Xia Chen. Xia Chen came up to him wearing his white anti-sea wind coat and stepped on the oak barrel.
“I want to be a pond owner!”
“Huh?” Everyone was confused. In fact, they had thought of many possibilities in their minds before, but they didn’t think of the pond owner. Even though the words “pond owner” were sewn on Xia Chen’s coat, these two words had no explanation in this world.
Nami asked Xia Chen, and Xia Chen just smiled slightly.
After all, if this thing is explained clearly, it is easy to get beaten.
“What is a pond owner, Xia Chen!” Usopp felt that this was something extraordinary.
And as a travel ceremony to the Grand Line, this is very meaningful to their Straw Hat Pirates. This is to let the companions on the same ship understand that after hearing each other’s wishes, they will do their best to help their companions realize their dreams, so they will also help Xia Chen realize this dream.
Just figure it out first!
“Pond Master, that is the ultimate dream of every man, but you only need to know that it requires strong strength and financial resources as a foundation.”
Everyone was thoughtful, and Luffy said: “So it’s for treasure.”
He naively said that when he found One Piece, he could give his share to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen smiled and nodded. After all, in everyone’s eyes, One Piece is the treasure accumulated for a lifetime left by the previous Pirate King Roger.
The sailing ceremony is simple, but not simple.
Because after listening to the dreams of the companions, everyone naturally has a responsibility in their hearts beyond working hard to realize their dreams.
Then Luffy returned to his exclusive seat with a laugh.
“Little ones, let’s set sail!”
“Oh!”
Everyone cooperated very well and took their own positions. This time, Xia Chen was in charge of steering the ship. After all, this mountain climbing current was extremely powerful, and Nami’s small body might not be able to withstand it. At the same time, standing in this central position, he could also use the water current to protect the ship in time.
Nami’s talent is not to be underestimated. Under his command, she stepped onto the mountain climbing current smoothly.
The ship began to bump, and the sails that had been untied were blown away by the strong airflow, causing the entire hull to capsize to one side. Xia Chen summoned the water flow quickly to cover the entire ship, greatly weakening the roar outside.
Then they finally entered the mountain climbing current channel of the Grand Route. Ten square gates like dragon gates appeared in front of Xia Chen, with complex patterns carved on them, mostly with carvings of marine creatures.
At this moment, a lot of information flashed through Xia Chen’s mind, such as the Great Kingdom, the Sea King, the Pluto, the King of Heaven, the Celestial Dragons, the World Government, the Five Elders, Im, the Four Emperors…
Through this road is a new world.
Because of Xia Chen’s assistance, the process of climbing the mountain this time was not as dangerous as in the original book. Instead, the group looked at everything around them very comfortably. Although there was no amazing scenery, this kind of experience might only happen once in a lifetime.
Finally, they climbed to the top of the Upside-Down Mountain.
The ocean currents from four directions converged here into a huge vortex. Xia Chen raised his eyebrows. This did not appear in the original book, but it was quite in line with the rules of ocean current operation.
And the situation is not just that. Several pirate ships also climbed up in the direction of the West Sea.
When they saw Xia Chen and others climbing up from the East China Sea, they opened fire without saying a word, and black lead bullets flew over, “Be careful!”
“Xia Chen, I won’t break your barrier, will I?”
“Rubber rubber…”
Everyone began to accumulate strength to help the Golden Merry pass through this pass smoothly. Even Usopp suppressed his trembling body, took out his slingshot, and aimed at the flying shells.
“Just watch, everyone!”
Xia Chen smiled, and then the already thick water barrier suddenly rotated, throwing out the diversion water gun, knocking these shells away or blasting them in the air.
At the same time, Xia Chen applied a thrust to the rear of the Golden Merry, and a sky-high waterway suddenly appeared. It dragged the entire Golden Merry into the sky and passed the entire whirlpool.
“Ah?!”
“Wuhu~~”
This thrilling scene scared Nami and others to scream or laugh.
Especially Nami, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she subconsciously hugged Xia Chen’s waist even though she knew it was an emergency.Buried his head on his back.
With Xia Chen’s current control of the power of water control, even if he has not reached the level 3, there is no problem in building a bridge to the sky, so they fell into the channel of the downhill current without any danger.
Then Xia Chen looked back and saw the pirates who had just entered the whirlpool and were ready to choose a channel. With a thought, a large amount of water mist rose up and covered the entire whirlpool.
“Ah!”
“It’s so hot!”
“Jump off the boat!”
A series of screams rang out, because this time the water mist was not ordinary mist, but hot steam. Although it was very high, the temperature still reached a terrifying 150 degrees Celsius under the control of Xia Chen’s skills.
These pirates were caught in a panic by the sudden attack, and then the ship was destroyed and people died soon as expected.
Everyone looked at this scene without saying anything, but quickly turned their attention back to the front, because the Red Earth Continent is 10,000 meters high, and they can see far away from here, as if the clouds are under their feet.
After passing through the clouds, there are sparkling waves and sunshine, which are completely different from the other end of the Grand Line.
“Do you think we have missed Raftel?” Xia Chen suddenly brought up this topic.
Raftel, like OP, has spread completely in the pirate world. Everyone knows that the treasures of the Pirate King are stored on an island called Raftel.
“Xia Chen, what are you talking about?”
This time, not only Nami, who was very close to him, but the others were also shocked. Even Luffy’s neck was twisted into a knot and looked at Xia Chen.
Xia Chen controlled the ship in the center of the channel and said slowly: “Everyone says that One Piece is the first person in the world to complete a circle of the Grand Line, and Raftel where One Piece is located is at the end of this route, but imagine that the world we are in is a ball.”
“If we had turned back directly when we reached the top and climbed down from the Red Earth Continent, wouldn’t we have reached the end of the Grand Line?”
“If Raftel is not here, where is it?”
This made everyone silent at once, it makes sense!
“Raftel cannot be found so easily. What we can think of, others can naturally think of, but it has not been found until now, so the location of Raftel may not be just the end of the route.” Nami said.
Zoro, Sanji and others also nodded frequently after hearing this.
They were just shocked just now, but this analysis made this statement a little untenable.
“Wait a minute, what are you talking about? How can this world be spherical?” Luffy was stunned, and Zoro was also confused.
