Chapter 468, Enter the Great Route! Straw Hats, join us! (1/3)
The Grand Line, Upside Down Mountain, and Twin Capes.
In front of the lighthouse, Kurokas was wearing a colorful shirt and beach pants, sitting on a lounge chair and reading a newspaper.
Looking at the content recorded above, he had complicated eyes and sighed.
"That whitebeard is not the type to listen to advice, Shanks."
The meeting between the four emperors with red hair and white beard aroused countless suspicions. Following the lessons learned from the Black Beast Federation, no one wanted to see the four emperors unite again.
Fortunately, the two sides seemed to have broken down their talks, so there was no panic.
But Kurokas knew that there must be a reason for Shanks to go to Whitebeard.
Combined with the current situation.
"Is it to deal with the Black Earl?"
Kurokas' eyes were deep and he sighed.
The news that Rayleigh and others were killed in battle also reached Upside Down Mountain. After hearing the news, Kurokas got extremely drunk.
The East China Sea kid who passed by here in a hurry has now become a monster that even the world government is afraid of.
If even Rayleigh and the other three are no match for him, it would be almost impossible for him to defeat the opponent with his own strength alone.
But when he went to Whitebeard for this, Kurokas felt that Shanks was taking it for granted.
He has seen too many upright heroes in his life, and Whitebeard is the most special one among them.
For that man, winning or losing is far less important than his family.
The result is obvious.
"Perhaps things are really going to change?"
Just as he was thinking this, a strange scream suddenly came from above his head.
Labu, who was floating quietly on the shore, looked up with him and saw a cute-looking pirate ship sliding down quickly on the waterway leading from the Inverted Mountain to the Grand Route.
However, their direction was a little skewed, and Kurokas could tell that according to this angle, they would hit the cliff halfway and be shattered to pieces.
Seeing this, Kurokas put away the newspaper and shook his head.
"It's so pitiful! It's so rare that I managed to break through the Navy's headquarters, only to end up crashing on Upside Down Mountain."
With the establishment of the naval headquarters, Kurokas knows better than the navy how it will work.
Pirates used to pass by Twin Capes every now and then, but now it is rare to see one every ten days and a half.
It's not easy for new people to appear today, but this is the result.
"Life is not easy..."
Kurokas sighed and asked, "Rabu, do you think we should consider changing our business?"
"Uh-huh?"
"So you agree?"
"Um???"
Boom!!
Under the influence of ocean currents, countless tons of seawater from the four seas in the southeast and northwest are sent to the upside down mountain, but there is only one outlet.
This leads to the fact that the most dangerous waterway in Upside Down Mountain is not the way up, but the way down.
The ocean currents brought by the four seas are concentrated in the downdraft, like a high-pressure water gun, flowing very fast.
"It's going to hit! It's going to hit!"
On the cute pirate ship, a man with a round and slender nose held his face in his hands, his face turned blue and he screamed in fear.
Looking at the red cliff getting closer and closer, the screams suddenly stopped.
"Usopp, help me pull the rope... Usopp?"
The three-sword swordsman turned his head strangely and looked at Usopp who was lying on the ground foaming at the sight, his eyelids twitching wildly.
"Asshole, why did you drop the chain now?!"
"No time to care about this!"
On the deck, an orange-haired girl in cool clothes clenched the rudder of the ship and shouted: "Luffy, we have to find a way to push the ship away!"
"Oh, leave it to me, hehe!"
It was completely invisible that Luffy had experienced a life-and-death farewell not long ago. He stood up from the goat's head at the bow of the ship, fists clashed, and stretched his muscles.
Rubber rubber...balloons!
Taking a deep breath, Luffy's belly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he soon discovered that there was something wrong with his position.
The Meili rushed out diagonally, but his floating position was still in place. He could only watch the Meili rush past him.
"What are you doing, idiot!!"
A group of people on the deck suddenly roared with fangs.
Luffy covered his mouth to prevent the air from leaking out, his face full of grievances.
"What a troublesome guy."
At this time, a figure jumped up from the deck, used reverse force between the cliff and the belly of the ship, drew a "Z" shape, and came behind the balloon Luffy.
"Clenched teeth!"
"Uh-huh!"
Luffy nodded seriously.
Then...
“Hot Feast·Butt Shoot!”
Bang!!
The hard leather shoes were imprinted on his buttocks. Tears flashed in Luffy's eyes, and he tried not to cry out. Then he was ejaculated like a rubber ball.
Seeing that the Meili was about to hit the cliff and be shattered to pieces, he forcefully squeezed in between the two to act as a buffer.
"Whoa!"
He spit out a mouthful of overnight rice, and the air in his stomach immediately blew out, causing him to fly around in the sky like a real balloon.
However, due to flexibility, the Mellie finally escaped the fierce torrent that led them to death. Nami turned the rudder decisively and steered the Mellie back to the middle of the waterway with the help of the wind.
Bang... bang!
Then it crashed heavily into the calm sea at the foot of the Upside Down Mountain, drifting forward.
"You actually survived?"
At the lighthouse, Kurokas stared at this scene in stunned silence.
This set of operations is unconstrained and fancy, but the effect is remarkable.
Thinking of the swollen figure of the little man who didn't look like a human being, Kurokas came back to his senses and asked, "A devil fruit user?"
"No wonder you can break through the Sihai Base."
People with fruit abilities are not necessarily very strong, but in most cases, people with abilities have the advantage.
and……
"I seem to have heard of this ability."
Looking at the very familiar straw hat on the other person's back, Kurokas was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"It turns out to be you, Monkey D. Luffy!"
Wow!!
A hand was used to drag the wet Luffy onto the deck. The latter lay dying on the guardrail: "It's... it's saved!"
"Thank you Zoro."
"You're welcome."
Zoro looked at the calm sea below and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Where are the curly eyebrows? Are they dead?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not dead yet."
Sanji grabbed the guardrail on the other side of the ship and jumped onto the deck, sitting down on the ground.
Seeing this, Zoro's smile faded and he pursed his lips.
"cut!"
"What the hell are you cutting, Green Algae Head?"
"Ah? What did you call me?"
"Green algae head!"
"Asshole, do you want to fight?"
"Come just come!"
Bang! Bang!
After two crisp sounds, the world became quiet.
Nami stood between the two of them with clenched fists, black energy emanating from her body: "Be quiet!"
Covering their heads with both hands and lying on the ground, the two decisively admitted defeat: "Yes... I'm sorry!"
Leaving the sea water, Luffy quickly regained his strength, jumped up like a carp, and looked at the vast ocean ahead.
"Wow, is that the Grand Line?"
After a pause, his interest suddenly waned, and he pinched his nose: "It seems to be no different from Donghai, right?"
The sea in front is calm and endless as far as the eye can see.
"That's because the climate near Mount Tiaoshan is stable and it belongs to the calm sea area that is rare in the Grand Line. If you go further, you will know why this place is called the Pirates' Graveyard, young man."
The Straw Hat crew all turned their heads and looked at the old man standing next to them on a piece of dark blue and black "land".
"You have some ability if you survive, but I advise you not to be careless. On the Grand Line, visible dangers are not dangers."
A guy who looked impressive at first glance approached, and several people immediately became vigilant. Putting their hands on the word "Hedao", Zoro asked in a deep voice.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"The little old man who keeps the lighthouse at Twin Points."
Kurokas smiled, disapproving of his caution, and introduced.
"This is my partner, Rab."
"partner……?"
Sauron glanced around and found no second creature. Then, he swallowed, his expression froze and he lowered his head to look at the "land" at the opponent's feet.
"Um!"
Eyes bigger than a warship looked at them curiously, and Rab opened his mouth and shouted softly.
"Wow, there's a sea monster!"
Plop!
Usopp, who had just woken up, happened to see this scene and immediately fell to the ground again, unconscious.
Everyone: "..."
