After a period of sailing, Li Ke and the others finally arrived at the Upside Down Mountain. Because there were too many disturbances when they sailed, no ship even dared to approach their ship. Li Ke arrived at the Upside Down Mountain. At this time, you can see the appearance of Upside Down Mountain very clearly.
The turbulent waves hit waves on the red soil road, and these waves were also rolled back by the indestructible red soil continent, breaking the subsequent waves, making the sea currents nearby become extremely turbulent and intense.
Only the area closest to the tunnel in Upside Down Mountain has a slightly more regular ocean current, but as long as you get a little closer to the entrance, it's as if the entire sea is pushing you, pushing you toward Upside Down Mountain.
Even Nami had a hard time grasping the direction of the current in a place like this. If she hadn't reacted in time and Li Ke controlled the ship several times, their ship would have been directly involved in the current.
Li Ke raised his head and looked at the towering red mountain peaks that towered into the clouds. This mountain peak was as tall as a cliff, and its top was even obscured by clouds, making it impossible to see the specific situation.
Moreover, the red rock wall is also quite tough, and Li Ke did not see any traces of corrosion on it. Yes, as we all know, places that are constantly impacted by sea water will slowly be corroded. This is how caves and tunnels appear. But there are no such traces on this red earth continent, and there are still solid red earth rock walls below.
Generally speaking, this is impossible. No matter how solid the stone is, it will develop large and small holes under the constant erosion of time and sea water. At the very least, it will be dented near the sea surface.
But there are none of these typical and natural traces of the Red Earth Continent. They still have that straight and stubborn look, as if the sea water has never hit them with such turbulence.
"This place is indeed magical. It deserves to be the famous Red Earth Continent."
Li Ke looked at the turbulent sea current and couldn't help but want to exercise in this kind of sea current. If he exercises in this violent sea current, if he is not careful, he will be carried by the endless sea water and hit the solid red soil. The mainland was then directly involved in the turbulence.
But the effect must be very good. It is best to have a sense of crisis when exercising. But unfortunately, although he can exercise here, it is impossible for the ship under him to stay here for a long time, so this The idea can only be said to be unrealistic.
This would be useless unless a camp could be built at the foot of Upside Down Mountain. However, looking at the terrain near Upside Down Mountain, we know that this is unlikely, and returning after being tired from exercise is also a problem, so the idea of exercising here can only be thought of, and it is basically unrealistic.
"Pity."
Li Ke sighed and asked Nami to lead them towards the upward current.
Nami was very serious. She stared at the nearby sea currents. The nearby sea currents were somewhat beyond the scope of her knowledge. There were even some abnormalities that she didn't understand why they appeared.
But the current entering the Grand Route was still very easy. Following her command, Li Ke pulled the rudder of the rope. Amidst the squeaking sounds of the ship's planks, Li Ke and his only two crew members officially Set foot on the great route.
And his flag, which was painted with his dragon-turned-image, also started to buzz in the air.
No one spoke, because since they stepped onto the current, the speed of the entire ship suddenly accelerated. Nokigao and Nami held on to things around Li Ke tightly to prevent themselves from being thrown off. Li Ke also carefully held the rudder in his hand to prevent it from deflecting.
Because this channel is too narrow, although his ship is not a very big ship, it is very difficult to travel in this channel. If it deflects a little, it will directly hit the mountain walls on both sides.
The currents driven by the entire ocean can not only push the boat up the mountain, but the speed is also so fast that it makes people palpitate. Not to mention a real warship, Li Ke felt that the speed of the ship he was currently in was comparable to that of an ordinary aircraft!
He's almost flying!
"No wonder the Navy doesn't set up controls here, and most people think that the New World is another world... The pirates and civilians are too stupid to get to the New World!"
Li Ke looked at the rock walls that were quickly moving away around him, and the corners of his eyes were really twitching. With his current physique, if he was directly hit by such a ship, he would not die but would be seriously injured for several months. If he hits a ship ahead, he may be able to survive, but Nami and Nokigao are likely to be taken away by the violent current before he can react, but the most likely thing is that they will be directly carried away by this violent sea. Killed by the current!
But even with such violent sea currents, Li Ke still did not see many traces of natural erosion on this waterway. This mountain has exceeded Li Ke's cognitive scope. To be precise, Li Ke does not believe in this world more and more. It is a simple and natural world. Not to mention the ancient supernatural civilization, at least the origin of this waterway is definitely not that simple!
Fortunately, there was no ship in front of them. Most of the crew members were dismissed. The ship with only the three of them had already loaded a lot of cargo under Nami's reminder and would not be thrown away casually, so it didn't take long. , in the nervous mood of Li Ke and others, the end of the upside down mountain route and the starting point of the great route appeared in front of them.
However, before Li Ke showed any happy expression, a huge whale appeared in front of him!
Although this whale has the shape of a typical whale, the problem is that this whale is surprisingly large! Many of the small islands Li Ke saw while sailing were just a joke in front of the other party. He had no doubt that the other party could easily swallow their ship in one breath.
But the problem is that this whale appears in the wrong place, because it is now blocked at the entrance of the channel, and it is blocked to death!
"is that a lie……"
Nami was stunned. Of course she knew what would happen if they collided with them at the current speed, but the problem was that there was no way to avoid it, and the ship simply couldn't stop in this kind of current. of!
Li Ke's face was ugly. Although he had thought that he would meet this whale named Rab, a whale who made a pact with his fellow pirates to return, but was unable to fulfill it because his companions were all wiped out. Later, Luffy made a pact and thus recruited Brook's important bond.
But the problem is that at the time, he felt that the whale would not do anything too cruel and would not directly block the shipping route, but now it seems that he has thought too much. Although Rab is humane, he is just an animal after all.
And it is obvious now that it has blocked the road. If you can't find a way, then just wait for the boat underneath it to be scrapped!
"I really don't understand why the Straw Hats forgave this guy in the original novel and even became friends... Nami, take the helm! Go left and I will open a path."
Li Ke pulled out the heavy sword from his back and walked towards the bow of the ship in the strong wind. Since the other party was unwilling to give way to him, he would just use the weapon in his hand to clear a way.
"I didn't originally plan to use this trick."
Li Ke took a deep breath, which made him feel even more humiliated. What he wanted to do was rely on his own efforts to defeat Rayleigh without relying on instinct. Before, I would only use my instinct to learn the path that my instinct opened up for me.
But now Rab has forced himself to rely on instinct.
"Empty your mind and look down upon the earth with the sky of your soul."
Li Ke emptied his mind and let his consciousness enter the chaos of half-dream and half-awake. This is a meditation method in the practice of Xingyue Magician. It was given to him by Weber to cultivate his own spirit, but for For him, it can actually be a way to draw out his own instincts.
Although the pure instinct induced by this method can only swing one blow, and after one blow, one's consciousness will be awakened by the impact. It is not very practical, and it also requires accumulating strength, but it is just right at this time. of.
"Since I am the sky, I will rain down the thunder of heaven..."
The self-hypnosis spell was just a ritual, and it invoked Li Ke's vitality rather than magic power, but the effect was very obvious. Li Ke slowly moved his sword and raised it high above his head, constantly Accumulate strength.
But he did not take action because he had not yet channeled his complete instinct. The noisy illusion nearby made him half asleep and half awake, watching his actions from the perspective of a bystander.
"We're about to hit it!"
Nami shouted anxiously. She tried her best to control the rudder, but it was useless at this time. There was no way to avoid the huge whale head, so she could only shout in despair. .
"Is there any way to use it quickly?"
The boat was already only more than twenty meters away from Labu's tail, but it only took a second under this current. Seeing that the boat was about to crash into Labu, Li Ke finally opened his eyes. When he opened his own eyes, his eyes were not as cold and mechanical as his instinctive state, but a kind of surprise.
“Listen to the sound of the wind being cut off!”
The heavy sword suddenly fell, and for a moment, the surrounding air lost its ability to transmit sound. The waves and the air were separated. The huge whale stood still as if a rest sign was pressed, and then suddenly was It flew high into the sky, leaving a huge puddle in its place.
The next moment, Nami didn't have time to panic that they were about to fall into the whirlpool caused by Rab's sudden disappearance. She stared blankly at the huge thing flying in the sky, making a huge whale roar, and their ship was covered by a layer of waves simulating waves. The strong wind held back and sent away the whirlpool that appeared due to Rab's sudden departure, and smoothly arrived at the Grand Route.
Nuo Qigao saw a rather mysterious scene because he didn't dare to look at it.
Countless small fish were swimming in the puddle. To be precise, they were swimming in the sea water made of air. It was not until they left that the sea water made of air slowly disappeared.
The sea of air that remained smoothed the whirlpool so that the small fish would not be killed, and the whale Rab in the air did not panic anymore, because after its initial panic, it felt like Just like in the sea, it can swim in the sky with the help of the surrounding wind.
So when Nami and Noki turned back, what they saw was a huge whale swimming in the air, and the water vapor on its body drew a rainbow under the sunlight.
Finally, as they watched with their mouths open, the whale floated like water after having enough fun. Although it still splashed a lot of water, it was so beautiful and elegant.
"This is……"
Can humans do it?
Nami had this thought in her mind for a long time, and her sister Nokigao was also like this, unable to close her mouth for a long time.
At this time, Li Ke slowly put the sword back behind his back, and couldn't help but rub the hilt behind his back, reminiscing about the blow just now.
Nami was the first to react. She excitedly jumped to Li Ke's side, pointed at the rainbow that remained due to the water on Labu's body, and asked loudly, her face was red, and she couldn't hide her excitement at all.
"how did you do it!"
Li Ke thought about the feeling just now, then nodded and summarized what he had just done.
“Cut off what should be cut off, and what should not be cut off should not be cut off.”
He was actually a little inexplicable, but he just had a feeling that as long as he was serious, he could slash everything with one sword and destroy everything without harming everything.
If there is any trick...
The rhythm of all things, and breathing?
"This world is very interesting."
Although he swung the sword just now with the help of instinct, Li Ke still knew what he had just done. He cut off the wind, letting its debris and wounds break through the sea, and swept Rab into the sky.
And it was the wind's wound that allowed Labu and the boat to swim in the 'wind blood' flowing out of the wind's wound.
That is, sailing on a warm breeze, crossing deep valleys, and flying into the sky.
Even now, Li Ke can still feel that if he wants to, he doesn't need to calculate anything or think about anything. As long as he wants to do such a thing, as long as he can recall the feeling of swinging the sword, he can Do it.
No, he could see it. Because he has experienced it, even if he does not need instinct, as long as he can calm down, he can enter this state.
But Nami didn't understand what Li Ke just said. In fact, if the realm hadn't reached a certain level, or people who had personally experienced the power of this realm, they wouldn't understand it.
Even if you know what it is talking about, you cannot truly understand it. Just like sadness and pain, joy and joy, it is a feeling that can only be understood after personal experience. You cannot understand it just by relying on words and descriptions.
"What are you talking about! How do you do it without stopping? Devil fruit? Or do you have any superpowers?!"
Before her excitement subsided, she kept rubbing against Li Ke. Li Ke didn't know how to explain it to her, so he moved her slightly and he spoke with a smirk.
"Then let me show you one more time."
