However, Mo Ran and the others still didn't have time to enter the Grand Line, because they were stopped by someone when they were still some distance away from the entrance to the Upside Down Mountain.
The person who stopped them was called Walking Fish, and you could tell by his name that he was a player just like Mo Ran and the others.
After being stopped, Mo Ran shouted directly to the other party: "Yu Li?"
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen, long time no see, long time no see." Obviously, the other party also recognized Mo Ran and said hello quickly.
Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "So what's going on? Do you want to fight with me?"
"No, no, how dare you." The walking fish said with a playful smile, "I'm here to seek cooperation."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation? Let's talk about it."
Hearing what Mo Ran said, the walking fish immediately said: "Don't you know yet? That wicked guy released the news about us, and now a group of navy has blocked the entrance to Upside Down Mountain. Past
The pirates were either caught or sunk directly.
So, we are gathering alliances now, no matter where they are, as long as they are pirates, we will call them over. Unless they are unwilling to go to the Grand Route, everyone is ready to cooperate and break through the blockade and go to the Grand Route."
Mo Ran thought for a moment and asked: "How many people have you gathered now? Where are you going to meet?"
The walking fish said: "There are already more than a dozen pirate groups, half of them are contestants and half are other pirate groups. As for the place, it is on a nearby island. I will lead the way."
Under the leadership of the other party, the Pluto came to a small island. There were a large number of pirate ships docked near the island. Only the captain and a few of his confidants used a small boat to party ashore.
Mo Ran finally took Zui Qingfeng and Liu Weifeng ashore, while the others stayed on the boat.
After landing, Liu Weifeng looked around and found a very familiar fat man, wearing a suit, with a cigar in his mouth, dressed like a gangster godfather. Although the two-dimensional and three-dimensional appearances are a bit different, this man
It is fairly obvious that he is one of the Pirate Supernovas, Capone Becky, a user with the Fortress Fruit ability.
Although he only has himself and two subordinates now, his fruit ability allows him to hide countless subordinates in his body, and he can even hide in himself.
But now he doesn't look as powerful as in the original plot, and he's not married either.
After staying on the island for another day, almost everyone couldn't hold it in any longer, and finally someone stood up and announced that the meeting had begun.
The person who stood up had a lion's head on his head. When Mo Ran saw this person, he whispered: "I didn't expect it to be him."
"Captain, do you know him?"
"Of course, he is the son of a military boss. He is a special soldier and is nicknamed the Lion King. But he is not in the same circle as us. But I didn't expect that he would also come to participate in this competition. Haha, a soldier turned into a thief."
"Has this lion-headed guy changed his race?"
"I don't know. But he really likes lions. You see, his nickname is Lion King. It might be some kind of devil fruit. But don't underestimate him. I remember that he can already break through the elite."
Of course, the Lion King on the stage would not hear what Mo Ran said. He said loudly on the stage: "Everyone, I think you should know that the navy has blocked the entrance to the Grand Route. Anyone who wants to go to the Grand Route
Pirates will be intercepted by their warships.
Not only that, even the nearest town where supplies can be replenished is heavily guarded by them, and pirates are prohibited from going to the island to replenish supplies."
Most people here know about this news, otherwise they wouldn't come here. Immediately someone below shouted: "We all know what you said, and we are not here to listen to your nonsense. If
If nothing happens, we'll leave."
The Lion King said: "In that case, I will tell you my plan. The main strength of the navy is in the New World. Well, you may not know that the Grand Route is divided into two ends. The truly powerful pirates include
The four emperors are all in the second half.
So there won’t be too many people who can be sent out. We have more than forty pirate groups here. If we rush over together, the other party will not be able to stop us."
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately followed: "In this case, it means that who dies and who lives depends only on luck?"
"That's better than being in a pirate group and being killed by others. We are all pirates, so I won't trust you. Anyway, if we all rush together, with good luck, we can break through the navy's blockade."
"That's not necessarily true. As you said, the navy doesn't have enough manpower, so it's impossible to block the entrance all the time. We just need to wait for a while. There is no need to rush through at all."
"Then you can leave now." The Lion King said without hesitation. Because he knew that half of the people present were contestants, so it was impossible to wait for the blockade to be lifted. What if the blockade lasted for a year and a half, causing the competition to be cancelled?
If you can't complete it, you'll be in trouble.
So there will definitely be people participating, and there will be at least a dozen. As for the others, it doesn't matter whether they are willing or not.
However, after the Lion King said this, no one present chose to leave. Some people did not want to leave, while others felt that no one else had left. If they left by themselves, wouldn't it mean that they were afraid of the navy.
Although they are really facing the navy, they still have to run when they can't beat them, but if they leave now, they will probably be called cowardly, and they will lose face.
The Lion King looked around and found that no one was leaving, and he was secretly relieved. Although it didn't matter if some people were leaving, it would not look good if there were too many people leaving. It would be best if no one was leaving now.
After waiting for a while and confirming that no one was leaving, the Lion King said: "Then why don't we all agree on a time."
"Do you need it?" Capone Becky suddenly said: "Since everyone is here, there is no need to set a time. Replenish supplies and set off now. Otherwise, if so many of us gather together and attract the attention of the navy,
But it’s even more troublesome.”
"yes."
"Okay." The Lion King said, "Then everyone is replenishing supplies now. At this time tomorrow, we will set off to the Grand Route together. Whether we can succeed or not depends on our own abilities."
After returning to the ship, Mo Ran took everyone to replenish supplies. On the way, Zan Yue asked: "Captain, do you think this plan is reliable?"
"Of course it's not reliable. Believe it or not, even half of the people will be gone tomorrow."
"What about us?"
"Of course it's a breakthrough. It's obvious that someone from the navy stopped us and didn't let us finish the game. Those pirates don't matter, but we contestants don't."
