Chapter 61: Stepping into the Great Route
The first person to come back was Robin. She led a team of porters, and together with the handyman on the Ghost, transporting freshwater and food, constantly filling the Ghost's cabin.
"When I passed by the branch, I found that the navy inside had all gathered, and maybe I would come to cause trouble for us."
Standing next to Rhodes, Robin, who oversees the numerous porters and handymen carrying food and fresh water, looked at the naval branch towering in the middle of the town and chuckled.
Rhodes sat on the guardrail of the Ghost Deck and said without raising his head: "Come on, come on, don't go to trouble them, they are already lucky."
Robin smiled slightly, held his chin with his bare hands and said:
"The navy here is most afraid to come and cause trouble, but the news of our coming here must have been sent back to the Navy headquarters. There are most likely heavy naval troops waiting for us on the great route."
She naturally knew that the navy here would not cause any trouble for Rhodes, but because of the naval arrangements on the great route, she would make a sound reminder.
However, how could Rhodes not understand her reminder? He turned to Robin, stretched out his fingers and gently hooked her chin with a little playful look, and said, "I didn't expect these... If the Navy wants to arrange them, let them arrange them slowly."
After being teased by Rhodes, Robin did not have any blushing expressions, but instead tilted his head to stare at Rhodes with a smile.
Rhodes looked at her for a few seconds, then naturally withdrew her gaze, looked at the sea in the distance, and said, "It's the end of November in the eleventh year of the Great Pirate Age."
If you remember correctly, Robin is seventeen years old this year and his birthday should be February 6th, which means that in another two and a half months, he will be able to remove the title of luoli.
“???”
Robin always felt that Rhodes's words meant something, and there might be a second half, but Rhodes didn't say it, so she was confused.
Half an hour later.
Lafitte returned to the boat and came to Rhodes. He waved his wrist and took out something like a watch from somewhere, but the center was not a dial, but a ball and a pointer.
"Is that? Captain."
Rhodes took what Lafitte had, observed it for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, this is what replaces the charts and compass on the great route."
Rhodes handed the record pointer back to Lafitte and asked him to save it on his own.
Half a day later.
Food and fresh water filled the Ghost's reserve compartment. At the command of Rhodes, Ghost untied the ropes, set sail, left Beros Town, and headed straight for the Upside-down Mountain!
While the Ghost left Beros Town, the Navy in Beros Town immediately reported the situation to the Navy headquarters, but all this had nothing to do with Rhodes.
...
As the Ghost gradually approached the great route, the weather and currents began to become difficult to figure out and predict, the waves gradually became surging, and the undercurrents under the sea surged.
Rhodes came to the deck and watched the course of the Ghost with Lafitte. Under the control of the two, the Ghost did not deviate from the route and fell into the windless belt, but rode the wind and waves toward the upside down mountain.
"The great route and the red clay continent divide this planet into four seas, east, west, south, north and west, and the ocean currents of the four seas will gather in a certain place and finally pour into the great route... there is the upside down mountain."
With memory, Rhodes was calm and composed about the changes in the current. Although this was the West Sea, not the East Sea that Luffy and others walked through in the original work, it was just a mirror gap.
While talking.
In the fog in front of the sea, a magnificent area has appeared, and the red land that stretches to the end of the sight is the Red Clay Continent.
Robin stood on the deck, looking at the red clay continent from afar, and said, "What a spectacular sight."
"That's, the Red Clay Continent..." Lafitte had a strange smile on his face, but his uneasy eyes revealed his heart and it was surging like a wave.
Even Rhodes looked at the divided world from afar, the extremely spectacular and magnificent Red Clay Continent, and the sights and memories with his own eyes are different.
While looking at the Red Clay Continent, Rhodes looked at the direction of the parallel great route.
The Overturned Mountain is the starting point, the starting point of the first half of the great route, and the end point of the second half of the great route. The final island of Rafdrew is mostly hidden in that fog.
but.
Without the guidance of the historical text of the road sign, even if you cut directly from the windless belt to the end of the second half of the great route, you can't find Ruff Drew, and you can only wander around like a headless fly.
Rhodes only glanced and then withdrew his gaze because he was not interested in the so-called Rafdrew and the so-called ONEPIECE, and was just a little curious about what it was.
Hurry!
As the Ghost gradually approached the Cyclone Mountain, the current became more and more surging, and it rushed towards the Red Clay Continent with the entire ship.
Under the control of Rhodes and Lafitte, the Ghost entered the canal of the reverse current without any danger, climbed all the way to the top of the Overturned Mountain, and finally rushed into the great route!
at the same time.
Located in front of the Gentle Gorge Lighthouse on the Upside Down Mountain, an old man sitting there watching newspapers bask in the sun turned around in the direction of the Upside Down Mountain Canal. He was the guardian of the Gentle Gorge Lighthouse and the ship doctor on the ship of One Piece Roger.
"Well, there are new people who have embarked on the great route. I don't know where this group can go."
Kurokas put down the newspaper, his eyes rushed down the upside down the mountain, and gradually drove towards the ghost in the distance for a moment.
He often reads newspapers and reads newspapers from all over the world. He has some impression of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but he just has a little impression.
Because this is the starting point of the great route, countless pirates have poured in here in eleven years, but there are very few people who can make a name for themselves on the great route. Perhaps the Ghost Hand Pirates are just one of the inconspicuous waves.
So after just a few glances, Kurokas withdrew his gaze.
...
A few days later.
The news that the Ghost Hand Pirates left the West Sea and entered the great route spread throughout the West Sea. While countless pirates and navy breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes also gathered on the great route.
The great route, known as the "pirate's grave", silently swallowed up many great pirates who ruled the West Sea for more than ten years. There were many pirate groups with bounties of up to 70 to 80 million.
now.
