Chapter 39 Arrival At The Grand Line!
Kuina recorded Al's understanding of the development of Mera-mera Fruit with great care.
She spent time to engrave these precious understandings in her mind.
Sea Circle Calendar November 1510, after the last supply of supplies.
Al and his party left East Blue by boat.
Heading towards the Grand Line at the other end of the Upside-Down Mountain.
After the few people had no worries, under the command of Nami, they rode the favorable current and arrived at the entrance of the Grand Line at a very fast speed.
"Is this the entrance of the Grand Line?"
"This is the first time I have seen the sea water flowing upstream!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine that there is such a wonder in this world!"
The Red Line, which is more than 10,000 meters high, is like a long dragon stretching across this planet, with no end in sight.
The ship of the Al Pirates is like an ant in front of the Red Line.
Everyone on the ship looked up at the Red Line towering into the clouds.
"It's hard to imagine how a building like the Red Line appeared in this world."
"Too magnificent!"
Nami, Carina, and Kuina were deeply shocked.
The closer we get to the entrance of the Grand Line, the faster the boat goes.
The breeze gradually gets stronger, and the channel at the entrance swallows up a huge amount of seawater like a funnel, absorbing the wind blowing through the entrance.
"Raise the sails, friends, say goodbye to East Blue, and enter the Grand Line!"
Robin smiled slightly, crossed his hands, and used his ability to untie the sails tied to the mast by ropes.
The sails made of canvas were blown up by the wind as soon as they fell, and the speed of the boat increased a lot.
After entering the channel, the upstream sea water carried the boat, and accompanied by the howling wind, the whole boat rushed to the highest point of the mountain like an arrow from a string!
The reverse thrust brought by the super-fast speed directly caused the few people on the boat except Al to fall down.
"Be careful!"
Al stepped on the razor under his feet, and took Nami and Carina into his arms with his left and right arms.
Kuina and Robin also hugged Al's arms one after the other.
"Hold the rope!"
"The wind is too strong!"
Al rushed over and pulled a rope, letting the others grab it before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our boat is too small and not stable enough."
"When we get to the Seven Waters City, we must use the Adam Treasure Tree to build a large ship of the best quality!"
Al frowned.
This small merchant ship not only cannot carry weapons, but also has average quality.
Just now, he even heard the creaking of the keel of the ship.
After Nami stood firm, she quickly ran over to control the rudder and adjusted the bow that almost hit the wall of the channel.
Under Nami's control, the boat gradually stabilized, and the others had time to turn their heads and look at the East Blue that was about to leave.
"East Blue is so spectacular and so big?"
Looking down at East Blue from thousands of meters high was a novel experience for the others.
"East Blue, I'm leaving!"
"When our Al Pirates become the strongest, we will come back again!"
Nami looked at the vast East Blue that was rapidly retreating in her vision and spoke.
The favorable wind and the extremely fast current made the ship go faster and faster.
In less than ten minutes, the entire ship reached the highest point, and then changed from a bottom-up posture to a rapid dive from the bottom up!
The sailing speed increased several times, and even left the water surface of the channel and flew up.
The sudden violent turbulence threw Kuina, Nami, and Carina directly out.
Kuina directly fired a fire shock behind her, and the recoil force made her return to the ship.
Al quickly stepped on the Moonwalk and flew to Nami and Carina, hugged them in his arms, and stood on the deck again.
"It's so exciting!"
"Al, you don't have to save us!"
"Although we haven't mastered the Moonwalk completely, we can still do it by stepping on the sky!"
As they said, Nami and Carina reluctantly left Al's arms, stepped on the air twice, flew to the deck and fell down.
The thrill just now did not make the few people feel the slightest fear.
Whether it was the twelve-year-old Kuina, or the eight-year-old Nami and Carina, they were not panicked at all.
Their psychological quality, after experiencing the battle with Arlong, has long been much stronger than ordinary people!
After the few people landed on the deck, the entire ship also completely rushed from the highest position to the Grand Line's waters, and hit the sea heavily.
The endless Grand Line was spread out in front of the group.
Al looked up at the lighthouse next to the Twin Capes on the right side of the channel that he had just passed.
At this time, Crocus, the ship doctor of the Roger Pirates, had already settled here.
But Al did not plan to meet him. After all, they did not know each other and there was nothing to talk about.
"Is this the Grand Line?"
"It looks like it is not much different from the East Blue."
"It is calm."
Nami used her body to feel the climate nearby, looked up at the bright sun, and looked excited.
"This sea is much more dangerous than the East Blue!"
Al's Observation Haki was fully turned on. Under his perception, the life waves emitted by the Sea Kings under the sea were many times stronger than those of the East Blue.
Even at a deeper position, Al also sensed a huge life wave that made him feel difficult.
He knew what kind of creature this life wave was.
"Is it Laboon?"
"It's already this big now!"
"It's several times bigger than the average Sea Kings."
"Even if I want to kill this island whale from the outside without getting hurt, I have to spend a lot of effort."
"However, if we go to war with Laboon, the huge waves caused by its huge body will cause our ship to be smashed."
"I don't have enough strength now to ensure that Nami Carina and others will not get hurt when fighting Laboon."
"Besides, Crocus is also here, so there's no need to fight the gentle Laboon."
In addition to Laboon, there are more powerful life fluctuations in the deepest part that Al Observation Haki can sense.
These life fluctuations are like warnings, reminding Al.
Even if your talent is the best in the sea and you are a natural monster!
But now you are just a swordsman who can only swing a flying slash. Haki can't master it, you are still too weak!
" Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, Conqueror's entanglement, Emission, Devil Fruit ability, Marine Six Styles, Great Swordsman strength..."
Feeling the life fluctuations under the sea, Al looked at the calm sea surface and said to himself:
"There are still nine years before the Summit War begins!"
"In the next nine years, I have a lot to learn and master!"
"I can't be so comfortable anymore!"
"I must focus on improving my strength!"
"In nine years, I must master high-level Armament Haki, Conqueror's entanglement, and become a great swordsman, and it would be best if I could develop the slow fruit to the awakening state!"
