Chapter 259
Chapter 259
On the calm East Blue, after several days of sailing, they are getting closer and closer to Reverse Mountain.
On the second floor of the Merry, everyone gathered in the Conference Room for the last meeting about to enter the Grand Line.
Lin Tian leaned on the stool, but fiddled with a white bone in his hand. This was the bone of a thousand-year dragon from the adventure a few days ago.
Luffy and the others are the protagonists of this world. This kind of creatures that have only been rumored, but they can be encountered so easily by them, which happened to solve Lin Tian’s crisis.
You need to know that a thousand-year-old dragon can live for a thousand years. This is a fact. It can be said to be an extremely long-lived species in the world, but rumor has it that its bones can be made into an elixir.
However, the bones of the Millennium Dragon are indeed a kind of extremely precious medicine ingredients, and they are also very useful for Lin Tian. A few months ago, Lin Tian asked the entire Revolutionary Army to search for a few months but with no result. But didn’t expect after followinng Luffy, they came across it so easily.
We will be on the Grand Line soon, and I will be able to see Crocus as well. I have been short of this main medicine, but now I get this thing. It’s really hard to not call this fate.
TL note:
“Hey, Lin Tian! Don’t play with your bone. Let’s talk about what’s going on quickly.” The yell awakened Lin Tian.
Lin Tian saw everyone gathered around the table, and Nami was photographing the Grand Line nautical chart that he had snatched from Buggy, turning his head and looking puzzled.
Hiding the white bones in his hands, he stepped forward and looked at the sea chart on the desktop. He said puzzledly: “Yes, this chart is correct, that’s it.”
“Is that right?” Nami said with disbelief, pointing to the mountain above, “That’s a mountain, how do we enter the Grand Line? Do you want us to abandon the boat and climb the mountain?”
Sanji stood up and said: “I once heard the smelly old man say that the entrance to the Grand Line seems to be on the mountain.”
Usopp, who was at the helm, hurriedly said: “No, I don’t agree! Hhow could we abandon the Going Merry, this was given to us by Kaya.”
For Usopp going to sea, the Merry is the only thing that can make him feel yay, very important to him. It’s impossible to abandon it.
“Who said that Merry should be discarded?” Lin Tian looked puzzled, pointed to the line on the chart and said: “We can drive the Merry and rush directly to Reverse Mountain.”
“That’s amazing,” Luffy’s eyes lit up, and he shouted very excitedly: “The boat can go up the mountain!”
“Hey! Lin Tian, are you serious? How can a boat go up the mountain?”
Pointing to the Reverse Mountain on the nautical chart, Zoro looked disbelief. Even ordinary people would not believe it. In this case, the height is better than this ridiculous shape. How can a boat rush up the mountain without power.
Before Lin Tian can explain, Nami has already reacted, “I see, we really are going to climb the mountain. You see, the guide light is worthwhile. It is said that all the ocean currents in the four seas flow to the Reverse Mountain. These four ocean currents will climb up the canal and then flow to the Grand Line. The ocean currents that rush to the Grand Line will rush from the surface to the shallow layer. If we fail to enter the canal, the Going Merry will crash into the Red Line’s lands, shatter and be buried in the sea…”
Lin Tian also echoed: “Well, Nami didn’t say anything wrong, so we have to be extra careful when entering there. Eighty percent of pirate has died on it.”
“Hm?” Zoro asked puzzledly: “Lin Tian, have you never walked there?”
Think about it for a while, how many times have you been out? For the Grand Line this time, I didn’t seem to have entered from there, “No, I usually take the Calm Belt.”
“Hah!” Everyone was immediately at a loss.
Nami patted her head, helplessly said: “Lin Tian is a pervert, don’t let him talk on equal terms with us ordinary people.”
Removing the cup on his mouth, Luffy said with a smile: “In short, this is an incredible mountain, and we can reach the Grand Line by turning it over.”
As soon as they approached the Red Line continent, the sky was covered with dark clouds, rain fell like ferocious, squally wind blowing on the face, the Merry could not help moving towards the back and retreating. From time to time, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky like a dragon.
Several meters high waves slammed on the wall of the Merry continuously. The whole ship began to sway from side to side. On the deck, everyone was busy sitting in a group, trying their best to reduce the damage of the storm.
Lin Tian blocked a wooden box that was about to move. Braving the rain, Lin Tian raised his head and shouted to the top: “Luffy, hurry up and put the sails away! The Merry’s shaking too much.”
Hanging on the main mast, Luffy quickly put the sails away and immediately relaxed, clutching the Straw Hat that was about to be blown away by the wind, Luffy instinctively looked up.
A huge black shadow appeared in front of him, and as the distance narrowed, the land of red slowly appeared in front of Luffy’s eyes, moving towards excitedly and shouted: “Hey, I see the incredible mountain!”
“What!”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly stopped their movements and walked above. A deep red land appeared in their eyes, towering like clouds.
Usopp looked shocked and couldn’t believe what he saw before him, “How is it so big?”
“Is this the Red Line continent?” Looking at the huge continent in front of him, Luffy covered his hat with excitement.
Even if I have seen it several times, Lin Tian once again saw this huge Red Line continent, his face was equally excited, it was really too big, the feeling was beyond people’s imagination. It’s hard to find words to describe it.
Under the impact of severe ocean currents, the Merry moved towards Reverse Mountain at an extremely fast speed. The ocean currents can rush to the top of Reverse Mountain. You can imagine the power of these ocean currents. The ship shook violently, it was extremely difficult for Lin Tian and the others to stand.
Merry’s speed is very fast. Under the impetus of the sea, it can only move towards the Red Line and the mainland can drive away at extreme speed. It is difficult to turn around though, even the simplest deflection direction is difficult to achieve.
As time passed, the Merry got closer and closer to the Red Line continent. Luffy and the others braved the heavy rain, standing on the deck, widening their eyes, and carefully observing what is in front of them.
After all, there is only one chance. If they don’t find the right way, they will crash into the Red Line continent. It is difficult for them to survive in such seawater.
Suddenly, a dark line appeared on the Red Line continent; it was a huge crack. In the cabin, Sanji and Usopp tried their best to keep the Merry from washing away.
Seeing the Red Line continent getting closer, Usopp shouted in fear: “How is it, Nami?! Can you see the entrance?!”
Nami stood up suddenly and said happily, “Well- that’s right! It’s there! Don’t change direction, just move forward like this!”
With a light leap, he jumped off the main mast. Luffy covered his hat and asked, “Nami, is that canal the entrance?”
Nami happily replied: “That should be the entrance to the Grand Line!”
Nami was tense. After all, this is related to the lives of all the people on the ship. Lin Tian stretched out his hand to hold Nami’s nervous grip on the railing, and tugged it in his palm.
Nami was taken aback, turned her head and looked towards Lin Tian, she saw Lin Tian with a smile on his face. He said with comfort: “Don’t worry, you are our navigator. Believe in yourself. We have absolute trust in you.”
Nami’s nervous heart immediately relaxed. With a relaxed smile on her face, she nodded hard, and tightly held Lin Tian’s palm.
“With him here, I don’t have to be afraid of anything!”
Zoro, who was previously disbelief, took the telescope and looked at the foreground. He was shocked and his voice trembled: “The sea is really climbing a mountain!”
Under the impact of the strong current, the sea water like a ladder, rolling waves, along the canal, towards the Reverse Mountain.
The snow-white waves rolled on top of it, like a heavenly road, straight to the sky. This sight amazed everyone, and it was so beautiful.
But this beautiful scenery reveals a dangerous crisis. The closer to the Red Line, the stronger the power of the continental ocean currents. After all, there’s so much force needed to push that much water to the top of the Reverse Mountain beyond the clouds.
Unprotected boat like the Merry will be torn to pieces by the powerful force and turned into wreckage.
Looking at the water gate getting closer and closer, Nami reminded again: “Everyone, you must go through that water gate. We can’t be hit and broken!”
Under the impact of the ocean currents, boats like Merry had very weak balance and stability, even though Sanji and Usopp were exerting force behind them.
However, under the impact of the current, the Merry still moved towards the side. According to this orientation, the Merry will definitely hit the Red Line continent and be shattered.
But sometimes, bad things often hit a piece. The wooden helm broke directly, and even the direction of the Merry could not be controlled.
Everyone’s complexion greatly changed in an instant. In this case, if the rudder is broken and even the direction cannot be controlled, it is difficult for the Merry to enter the canal. Death is waiting for them.
Lin Tian quickly released Nami’s hand. His body flashed, appeared to Merry’s right, stood on the railing of the ship, tightly held his fist, raised it, and then pouring his whole strength into this fist.
The air was distorted under the slightly scattered force, and the rain around Lin Tian, before it got close to Lin Tian, was shaken into small droplets, turned into water vapor, and floated around.
“Rising Dragon Fist!”
Suddenly, Heaven and Earth paused in this brief moment. A roar sounded, and the sound waves visible to the naked eye dispersed towards the surroundings. The space vibrated and the air distorted.
Within a few hundred meters, the water droplets burst under the sound wave, and the strong sound wave soared into the sky. The dark clouds in the sky were washed out, and the sun fell down.
The blue giant dragon soared out of Lin Tian’s hand, and the large body slammed straight into the vortex on the side, and a muffled bang came from the seabed.
The vortex disappeared, and the towering waves stretched out, hitting the wall of the Merry. It directly knocked the Merry towards the entrance of the canal.
But the power of the ocean current is too strong, Lin Tian’s strongest punch was consumed by the ocean current. It was not long before it was completely extinguished. The position of the Merry has not completely changed.
Just when Lin Tian had to make a move, Luffy flew out, “rubber rubber… balloon.”
