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

After making an agreement with Laboon, Luffy and others boarded the Merry and prepared to sail.

Before leaving, they all waved goodbye to Crocas and Laboon.

"Clocas, goodbye!"

"Let's go, Laboon!"

Laboon looks up to the sky and sings in farewell.

"Boooooooh..."

Crocas looked at the Merry that was gradually going away, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"What an amazing man!"

"Such a terrifying talent and ability, even you couldn't do it back then!"

"Right, Roger!"

After leaving Twin Capes, Luffy and others took the Merrie and sailed towards Whiskey Mountain.

It was also their first time to experience the Grand Line’s changeable weather and environment.

The sky was clear when we set off, but not long after we left, there was heavy snowfall in the sky.

Luffy and Uta were building snowmen on the deck, Nami was studying the map, Zoro Sanji Usopp and the other three were training in the heavy snow, Nokigao was taking measures to protect the orange trees from the cold, and Vivi and Mr.9 were rushed by Luffy to Snow removal from the boat.

While everyone was busy, there was thunder in the sky again.

This weird and changeable weather made Nami, a navigator, confused and frowned.

"It seems you have underestimated Grand Line!"

Vivi, who was clearing the snow, was shivering from the cold and looked at Nami's troubled expression and said.

"By the way, you haven't had anyone at the helm since just now. Is that okay?"

Mr.9 also curled up and asked worriedly.

"I just confirmed the direction..."

As Nami spoke, he looked at the record pointer on his wrist.

Suddenly exclaimed.

"ah?!"

"How...how could this happen?"

Luffy asked after hearing Nami's panicked voice.

"What's wrong, Nami?"

Nami frowned and said distressedly.

"Our ship turned around at some point and is now heading in the opposite direction."

Everyone on the boat was in disbelief when they heard this.

"What? Doesn't the ship always move in a straight line?"

"Yes! I have been looking at the cloud in the sky and always following the direction of the cloud!"

Seeing this scene, Vivi and Mr.9 looked at the frowning Nami and immediately assumed a arrogant and teaching attitude.

"You were tricked by the waves!"

"Are you really a navigator?"

"The sea here is like this. Whether it's the wind or the sky, the sky or the clouds, nothing is trustworthy."

"The only thing that remains unchanged is the direction the record pointer points to."

870 "Do you understand?"

Hearing the teaching tone of the two men, Nami's face suddenly darkened and her teeth chattered.

Shen Sheng said angrily.

"You two bastards, do you want to get off the boat from here?"

Vivi and the two men were shocked when they heard this, and the next second, they bowed their heads and apologized like a rattle.

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

At this moment, Usopp suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh! The waves are getting higher and higher."

Not long after, panic reports came one after another.

"Iceberg found ahead."

"Nami, you're naked!"

"Oops, there's a hole in the bottom of the boat and it's leaking."

"The record pointer is off again!"

"What kind of sea is this?"

Nami looked at the record pointer deflected again in his hand, holding his head in despair, wanting to cry without tears.

Watching this scene, Vivi and the two secretly laughed.

"How did such a half-hearted pirate group come to the Grand Line?"

"Hohohohoho... I think it won't be long before they escape the Grand Line."

Boom!

Boom!

Luffy punched Vivi and both of them, then looked at the desperate Nami and said.

"Nami, calm down!"

With that said, Luffy jumped up to Nami, took off his straw hat, put it on her head, and said.

"Don't forget, you are the navigator I like!"

Feeling the familiar touch on her head, Nami couldn't help but be startled.

She thought of the time when Luffy saved her, and it seemed that she felt particularly at ease after wearing this straw hat.

"Sorry, Luffy."

"As a navigator on this ship, I was too medical just now.

Nami apologized to Luffy and adjusted her mood.

The next second, his eyes were firm and he began to command the people on the boat.

"Usopp, you take charge of the jib. Turn the sail to the wind and take the wind from the starboard side.

"Sanji, you go to the helm and turn the ship 180 degrees to the left."

"..."

Nami's command sounded one after another, and the others followed the command and got busy.

During this period, Luffy also imparted heaven-defying understanding to everyone, allowing them to adapt more quickly and sail the Grand Line with ease.

Soon, the chaos and panic on the ship became orderly.

It was as if the team had suddenly changed. Vivi and both of them were shocked when they saw it.

Especially Vivi, she couldn't help but look at Luffy standing on the second floor, and couldn't help but sigh.

“What a strong leadership!”

Although Luffy didn't do any work, just one word seemed to give the navigator reassurance and make the whole ship in order.

Soon, with the efforts of everyone, the Mellie got back on track again and headed towards Whiskey Mountain.

The first difficulty of Grand Line was solved perfectly.

The sky is clear and the breeze is blowing.

The Mellie sailed smoothly on the sea.

"Hey, I saw the island!"

As usual, Zoro was the first to discover the island.

Others heard the sound and rushed to the bow of the boat to look at each other across the sea.

Directly in front of the Meili, an island shaped like several large cactus gradually appeared.

As the Melly continued to approach, Luffy and others seemed to be able to see the coast of the island, densely packed with people.

Looking at the people gathered on the coast, everyone on the boat suddenly became confused.

"What are those people doing?"

"Why do they all gather at the coast?"

Luffy smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Vivi and Mr-9, and said.

"Just ask them and you will know."

From the moment Vivi and Mr.9 saw the island, they looked like they had something on their mind.

They originally planned to lure Luffy and his gang to the island to capture them and earn a bounty, but after seeing Luffy's ability to scare people to death, they began to worry about the people on the island and how they would die.

When Luffy mentioned it, both of them looked nervous.

"They are welcoming you. People in our town are very hospitable and will warmly welcome and entertain passing guests."

Vivi said nervously with sweat on her forehead.

Although Luffy knew who those people were, he still acted as if he didn't know.

He approached the nervous Vivi and questioned.

"Welcome to entertain guests?"

"Didn't you say that there is no food in your town? You were sent to hunt Laboon to use as food for the town."

“A town that doesn’t even have enough to eat itself needs to use its surplus food to welcome guests?”

After Luffy finished speaking, Vivi broke into a cold sweat.

"That...that's because..."

Vivi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.

Mr.9 also looked nervous and fearful, and did not dare to express his anger.

"I remembered."

At this moment, Zoro suddenly said something.

The others turned their heads and looked around after hearing this.

"What do you remember?"

Zoro came to Vivi and the two of them, looked at them and said.

"At that time, when I heard you calling yourself Mr and Ms, I thought it sounded familiar."

"You...are from Baroque Studio, right?"

Vivi and both were shocked when they heard this and asked subconsciously.

"Why do you know?"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them instantly realized that they had spilled the beans, and they immediately became more nervous and kept silent.

Others became more confused at this time.

"Baroque Studio? What is that?"

Zoro explained with memories in his eyes.

"Baroque Studio is a large criminal organization engaged in various criminal activities.

"The members inside all refer to each other by code names, and each other does not know each other's identity."

"Even higher-ranking cadres even keep their appearance secret."

“No one who heard about this Baroque studio even knew who was behind it.

As soon as these words came out, the others were shocked.

Vivi and the other two looked ashen-faced and said nothing.

Just listen to Zoro continue.

"At that time, when I was a bounty hunter, this organization once invited me to join, but I refused."

With that said, Zoro looked at Vivi and Vivi with cold eyes and said.

"It seems that those people on the coast are all killers of Baroque Studio!"

(cecf) "You two, you want to kill us!"

Zoro pulled out the knife, and the cold light reflected on Vivi's face, making her tremble and her eyes filled with fear.

The rest of the people's eyes were filled with worry and hesitation at this moment.

Usopp was the first to retreat.

"Then what should we do? Let's not go to this island. Let's go to other islands instead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyuga, who was the brave member of the group, refused to answer the question.

"No! Only by recording the magnetic field of this island can we know the direction to the next island."

"We must land on this island now."

Sanji lit a cigarette and said casually.

"There is no other way, so we have to kill them all!"

Zoro also agreed with the proposal and drew his knife and pointed it at Vivi and the two.

"Then... let's start with these two people!"

Seeing this, Vivi's pupils suddenly trembled and her face showed fear.

Seeing the cold light approaching from Zoro's blade, Vivi suddenly shouted loudly.

"no!"

Zoro said coldly upon hearing this.

"Hey! You can't do this just because you say you can't! I'm the one holding the knife now!"

Seeing Zoro not giving in, Vivi suddenly came to Luffy and begged him.

"I can't die now."

"Please, I still have things I have to do now."

"Everyone is waiting for me!"

Luffy looked into Vivi's eyes.

There was no fear of death in her eyes, but instead they were full of infinite hope and determination.

A strong desire to live and a determination to do something.

"Luffy, don't believe her. This woman has lied to us time and time again, and she must be lying this time.

Zoro frowned and looked at Vivi angrily, and advised Luffy.

"please!!!"

Vivi's voice became choked, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She bit her lip tightly, the hope and determination in her eyes were extremely strong.

Nami Uta was moved by this scene.

Women's natural intuition made them feel that Vivi was not lying this time.

"..."

Several people were murmuring Luffy's name, trying to intercede with Vivi.

But before they could speak, Luffy's voice rang out.

"Zoro, put the knife away!"

Zoro gritted his teeth and shouted in a persistent and persuasive tone.

"Luffy!"

Luffy looked at Vivi's tear-filled eyes, suddenly smiled and said.

"I've said it before, I believe she is not a bad person."

Hearing Luffy's words, Vivi was stunned.

She stared at Luffy blankly, with confusion and gratitude in her eyes.

She didn't know why Luffy trusted her so much, but this trust made her very moved and grateful.

Vivi said with a choked voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Luffy."

At this time, Nami came over and asked in confusion.

"Who are you...?"

She always felt that this woman must be extraordinary.

Vivi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you my identity."

"This will cause trouble for you."

Seeing that Vivi was unwilling to say more, Luffy and others stopped asking.

Instead, they turned their attention to the Whiskey Mountain that was getting closer and closer.

Zoro put his hand on the knife and asked Luffy.

"Luffy, what about those guys?"

Luffy smiled and said.

"Since they are going to host a banquet to welcome us, let's attend the banquet first!"

"After all, they have prepared delicious food and wine, so we'd be wasting our time if we didn't eat them."

Whiskey Mountain, on the coast.

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Welcome to Grand Line."

"Welcome to our town."

Merry slowly approached, and the hospitable "townspeople" of Whiskey Mountain all smiled warmly and began to welcome Luffy and his group from afar.

Luffy and the others all looked very excited and happy, and greeted these townspeople warmly.

After Luffy and his group and Vivi landed, a man with three strands of curly hair on each side came over and said.

"X,......14-19-19......"

The man cleared his throat in the middle of his words with the same pronunciation as Mei Zhou.

After clearing his throat, he continued.

"Welcome, I'm the mayor of this town, Ikalem."

"Maybe you are all surprised! Whiskey Hill is a town with a strong music and winemaking reputation. Hospitality is a glorious tradition of our town."

"The fine wine we are proud of is as inexhaustible as the sea water."

"Tonight, we will hold a banquet to welcome you. I wonder if you... Ma-Mama... can you come and enjoy it? Worker

Hearing that they were invited to the banquet, Luffy and others were all very excited and cheered.

"Great, we are willing."

Led by Ikalem, Luffy and others went to the banquet venue.

At this time, the townspeople on the coast showed sinister smiles.

"Hahaha! Those idiots were fooled so easily. ”

“I really didn’t expect it to be so smooth!”

“We have to thank Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday! They brought us important guests!”

“Yes! Thank them both!”

Suddenly noticing Vivi and Mr. 9 walking behind Luffy and others, the townspeople on the coast shouted enthusiastically.

“Mr. 9, Ms. Wednesday, thank you for bringing us important guests. "

"That's right, Mr. 9, Ms. Wednesday, you are the heroes of our town, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Vivi and Mr. 9, who were following Luffy and others, couldn't help sweating on their foreheads when they heard these words, and they stumbled and almost fell flat on their faces.

It was a foregone conclusion that Luffy and his gang would fight with the people here, so no matter what they said, it wouldn't change anything.

Now they were just thinking about how to get out of this situation.

At night, the moon was high.

In a room.

Usopp's face was flushed, holding a wine glass, posing in a proud manner, and boasting to the townspeople around him.

"At this time, I said very coolly, Sea Kings, don't allow my companions.

Several women around him saw this scene and screamed like crazy.

"Ah! Captain Usopp, so impressive."

Zoro was drinking with others, one glass after another.

Luffy's meat and wine in his mouth never stopped.

The rest of the people were in a similar situation, happily drinking with the enthusiastic townspeople around them.
