Navigation: Comprehension Heaven-Defying, Understanding Eight Gate Escape At The Beginning

"I see it, Grand Line!"

Amidst the screams, Luffy suddenly cheered in surprise.

Everyone stopped screaming when they heard this and looked at the brand new sea area on the other side of the mountain, with excitement and expectation written on their little faces.

Then, the next second...

"SEE..."

"okgkgkgkg..."

"04040404....'

The screams sounded again, and after the Meili rushed to the top, it began to ride the descending current and gallop down.

The wind howled, and the waves from the cold sea water slapped on everyone's face, but it could not dissipate their enthusiasm and excitement.

Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

But at this moment, among the howling wind, there seemed to be a strange sound like a train whistle or a wail.

"Boooooooh..."

Hearing this unusual sound, Zoro couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Hey! What is this sound? Did you hear it?"

Nami didn't take it seriously and guessed.

"It must be the sound of the wind! Because there are many strange terrains here!"

Luffy heard the conversation between the two, but shook his head and said.

"No! That's the sound of a whale."

At the starting point of the Grand Line, the whale, Laboon, Luffy, who kept hitting his head against the Red Line, was certainly impressed.

"whale?"

Nami murmured in confusion.

"Boooooooooh..."

The strange sound sounded again.

Because as the Merry continued to descend, the sound this time was particularly clear.

"Hey! What's that... what's that? Look!"

At this time, Usopp suddenly screamed in panic as if he was frightened.

When everyone heard the words and looked around, they saw a shadow as huge as a mountain at the end of the descending current.

"Is that...a mountain?"

Sanji pointed at the shadow and said with some surprise.

"Mountains? That's impossible! After passing the Twin Gorges in front, there should be an endless ocean!"

Nami was also confused at this time, with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's the whale that made the strange cry just now. Take a closer look."

Luffy said looking at the extremely huge Laboon in front of him.

Everyone looked carefully after hearing Luffy's words.

I saw huge eyes as bright as the moon on both sides of the "big mountain". The pupils in the eyes were as black as beans, but they were several times the size of a warship.

And at the top of the "big mountain", there are dense scars, like ravines, messy and intertwined, which are thrilling.

"Boooooooooh..."

Laboon let out a mournful cry again.

Because they were getting closer and closer, the sound this time sounded like it was exploding near the ears of Luffy and others, and seemed to be able to penetrate everyone's eardrums.

"Ah! My ears hurt so much!"

Just when everyone was covering their ears and enduring the pain, they saw Laboon opening his mouth like a black hole.

Suddenly, all the surrounding seawater rushed towards this side, as if forming a huge vortex.

The Merry also drifted rapidly towards the super Uzumaki uncontrollably.

"Uhhhh... I'm going to be eaten!"

"What should I do? Think of a solution quickly!"

"No, it can't turn at all.

There were constant exclamations on the ship.

Just when he was about to fall into the bottomless black hole, Luffy reminded him loudly.

"Hold on tight, don't fall out."

After hearing this, everyone immediately grabbed the solid things around them and squatted down.

The next second, they felt that the world went dark, and then the world began to spin.

"What...what's going on? Here!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"I remember, weren't we eaten by a whale? Why are we in a place like this?"

On the Meili, everyone on the ship looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

They saw blue sky and white clouds above their heads, and a few seagulls could be seen on the horizon.

Below is the calm sea, and a small island can be seen not far away. On the small island is a house and a coconut tree.

"This is the stomach of the whale."

Luffy said calmly.

He knew that nothing would happen if he was swallowed, so he didn't take any measures.

And now, it's in Laboon's stomach.

After hearing Luffy's words, Usopp sighed.

"Isn't it really a dream?!"

Nami pointed to the small island in front of him and asked doubtfully.

"Then what's going on with that island? Why is there a house here?"

At this time, Uta suddenly said something.

"That's Crocus's house."

After hearing Uta's words, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked puzzled.

"Clocas? Who is that?"

"Do you know Ta?"

"Uta why do you know that?"

A series of questions were thrown to Uta at the same time.

Luffy also suddenly thought that Uta should have been brought here by Shanks before.

After all, this is the starting point of the Grand Line. No matter where you start from the four sea areas, you will come to this place when you enter the Grand Line.

Of course, not counting crossing the Calm Belt.

Uta was about to answer when suddenly, a giant squid emerged from Laboon's gastric juice, dozens of times the size of the Melly.

The giant squid happens to appear on the bow of the Mellie and is about to attack.

Before Luffy and others could respond, there was a pop, and the head of the giant squid was penetrated by three huge harpoons.

"S...Sgai! You can actually kill the giant squid in one go..."

Usopp couldn't help but sigh.

Being able to directly kill such a huge creature in an instant must be quite powerful.

As the squid died and fell into the gastric juice, Luffy and others saw an old man standing on the small island.

The old man had a flower-like decoration on his head and was dragging the three harpoon ropes in his hand.

"Clocas!"

Seeing the old man, Uta suddenly shouted in surprise and waved his hands excitedly to say hello.

Crocas was also stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He always felt that this voice seemed familiar.

And when he saw the girl with half-red and half-white hair standing on the bow of the boat, a figure in his memory suddenly came to mind.

Crocas asked in surprise.

"What? Is it Uta?"

Uta nodded happily and replied.

"It's me! Crocas! Long time no see!"

After receiving the confirmation, Crocas's face suddenly showed joy and excitement, and he sighed.

"Yes! We haven't seen each other for more than ten years!"

On the small island of Crocas, Luffy and others landed.

Uta and Crocas reunited after a long absence, and they simply caught up with each other for a while.

Suddenly remembering that he had not introduced it to anyone else, Uta hurriedly introduced it to others.

"Clocas, these are my companions."

"This is Luffy, my captain.

"This is Nami, Nozhiko, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp."

Crocas greeted everyone, but his eyes specifically fell on Luffy and he looked at him.

He remembered the story Shanks told him about meeting a certain boy the last time he came to his place.

Uta continued to introduce.

"Everyone, this is Crocas.

"He is the lighthouse keeper of this Twin Gap..."

Straw Hat Crew greeted Crocas calmly and politely.

"He was also the ship doctor on the ship of the previous Pirate King Roger!" Uta added. Suddenly, the originally calm Straw Hat Crew was struck by lightning and cried out. "What?!" After the sudden exclamation, except for Luffy, they continued to exclaim in shock. "Sea... Pirate King?!" "The ship doctor on that ship?!" "No wonder he could easily kill that squid just now! It turned out to be on the ship of the Pirate King..." "I didn't expect to meet such a legendary figure just after entering the Grand Line." Seeing the shocked looks of these people, Krocus looked calm. At his age, he was no longer surprised by such things. Luffy also showed the same performance. After all, even if Uta didn't say it, he would have known it a long time ago. However, this attracted Krocus's attention even more. It's normal for him not to be shocked at his age, but Luffy is so calm at this age? This kid is interesting! Krocus looked at Luffy and muttered in his heart. At this time, Nami couldn't help but ask Uta in confusion.

"But it's strange! Why do you know Krocus, Uta? And it seems that you have a good relationship!" Uta replied.

"That's because I was brought here by Shanks before, and it was Shanks who introduced us."

Hearing that another person appeared, the others fell into confusion again.

"Shanks? Who is this?"

"Is this Shanks familiar with Krocus?"

"Speaking of which, Luffy and Uta once said that my father seemed to be in this Shanks' pirate group!"

Nami touched her chin and muttered in thought.

"I always feel like I've heard this name somewhere! Where exactly is it?"

Uta smiled, his eyes curved into crescents, and said.

"Shanks was also a crew member on the Pirate King's ship, and he got along well with Krocus!"

"When I passed by here before, he brought me here to visit Krocus."

After Uta finished speaking, the others except Luffy were shocked again.

"Another crew member on the One Piece ship?!"

"Why does Uta know the crew members on the One Piece ship?"

Hearing that Shanks was also a member of the One Piece ship, Nami, who had been thinking, suddenly trembled and looked at Uta in shock.

"Wait! The Shanks you are talking about, can't it be one of the legendary Four Emperors, the red-haired Shanks?"

Uta smiled and nodded.

"Yes! He is my father."

"What did you say?!!"

As soon as Uta finished speaking, the whole audience burst into incredible exclamations again, resounding throughout the Laboon stomach.

After a while...

"U... Uta, you are actually the daughter of that... that Four Emperors red-haired Shanks!!"

"That's the Four Emperors! The strongest pirates in the world."

"It's unbelievable!"

Looking at the stunned companions, Uta said with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier."

Everyone waved their hands and began to gradually recover from the continuous shock.

"No, it's not your fault! Everyone has things that others don't know!"

"Although it's unexpected, it's because we never mentioned it before!"

"Yeah! Just like if we don't ask about Luffy's background, we naturally won't know his background. This is a very simple truth!"

Everyone comforted Uta, and her mood had almost returned to calm.

Uta heard their words and blinked her beautiful big eyes cutely, and said.

"Luffy is the grandson of Grandpa Garp! That Marine hero, [Iron Fist] Garp."

The air fell into silence for a moment.

F-......

"What did you say?!!!"

The sound of shock seemed to penetrate Laboon and resound throughout the sky.

In the stomach of Laboon, on the island of Crocas.

Luffy and Uta were treated like monkeys in the zoo by others, staring at them without blinking.

After knowing Uta's identity, the others were shocked for a while and began to calm down.

But when they heard that Luffy turned out to be the grandson of the Marine hero Garp, these people could no longer control their emotions.

Looking at the two of them at this moment was like looking at monsters, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Luffy was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Nami and Nokigao had seen him like this once before, so he was used to it.

Instead, he turned to ask Crocas.

"How are we going to get out of here?"

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt a violent shaking.

At the same time, the mournful sound that was heard outside sounded one after another.

"Boooooooooh..."

Sensing this sudden change, Crocas suddenly frowned.

"Oops, Laboon started hitting Red Line again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could react, Crocas dived into Laboon's gastric juices and swam away.

Except for Luffy and 310 Uta, everyone in the Straw Hats is still deeply confused.

"Hey! What happened?"

"Why did that uncle suddenly leave?"

"That's gastric juice! Isn't he afraid of being corroded?"

"He just said Laboon, what is this?"

At this time, Uta explained to everyone.

"Laboon is the whale that ate us!"

As he spoke, Uta's mood became a little lower and he explained.

"I heard from Krocas that Laboon once had an agreement with a pirate group."

"That pirate group said they would come back here to reunite with Laboon after sailing the Grand Line."

"But 50 years have passed, and the pirate group has not come back."

"Klokas once inquired about the news of this pirate group, but found nothing. "The life and death of that group of pirates are unknown.

"So Crocas guessed that this group of pirates were either dead or had escaped from the Grand Line and returned to their hometown through the Calm Belt."

"In short, no matter what happens, those pirates will never come back to reunite with Laboon."

"He told Laboon his guess, but Laboon didn't want to believe it, so he started banging his head against the Red Line, trying to break away from the mountain and find the pirates.

“So, Klokas created this world inside the belly of the whale, in order to inject a sedative into Laboon to calm down every time it hits the Red Line.

After Uta finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Everyone's faces showed sadness and emotion.

"This whale is so pitiful!"

"Is it really possible for that group of pirates to abandon Laboon and escape from the Grand Line? This would be so sorry for Laboon."

"Laboon has been keeping his promise and is waiting for them to come back!"

"The fate of this whale is really amazing! It is very likely that it has been let down and is still waiting here. There is no point in waiting all the time!"

When everyone was sighing, Crocas suddenly climbed up from the gastric juice. Knowing that these people were talking about Laboon, he added the last sentence.

"It is precisely because it has lost its meaning that Laboon refuses to accept my words!"

"Losing the meaning of waiting is more terrifying than anything else."

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

At this moment, Luffy suddenly said.

"They didn't escape, they're still alive!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then cast doubtful glances at Luffy.

"What are you talking about, Luffy? If they didn't escape, why didn't they come back to see Laboon for 50 years?"

"Yes! Even if they are still alive, they must have escaped from the Grand Line."

Faced with doubts, Luffy just said with a firm expression and hope in his eyes.

"I believe so!"

"I believe they will not leave Laboon alone. Maybe they encountered some accident and were unable to come back!

Luffy made a "guess."

He couldn't tell these people directly and definitely that there was a skeleton on the sea missing Laboon, so he just used conjecture to explain.
