The past half month has indeed been a bit of a grievance.
Because Orn has been entering the four seas as early as possible, the people of the Beast Pirates are completely unable to grasp their whereabouts.
The two only spent half a day on Fish-Man Island before setting off to the paradise again.
After arriving at the paradise, the two of them did not stop at the Shampoo Land. After hanging Jinbei's Shichibukai flag, they moved forward relying on the record pointer.
During the process, we only stayed on two small islands for about half a day for food supplies.
Half a day was not enough to get Yamato out of his seasick state, nor was he able to do anything new and interesting.
Therefore, for Yamato, the past half month has been almost the same as being in confinement while sick. It is only natural for people to feel bored.
However, everything has its pros and cons. After more than half a month of closed sailing, her seasickness symptoms have been relieved a lot.
Although I still feel weak and dizzy, at least the symptoms of nausea and vomiting have been greatly relieved. Under the environment of clear sky and gentle wind, I can now walk freely on the boat without Ornn's support. .
…………
"It's...so amazing! Even though it's the second time I've seen it, I still can't believe there are such high mountains in the world!"
About an hour later, the boat officially docked at the shore of Twin Gorges.
As soon as the ship docked, Yamato staggered and stumbled towards the red continent.
He stretched out his hand to touch the rough rocks of the Red Earth Continent, and then looked up at the Upside Down Mountain, which was shrouded in clouds and mist. Not to mention the top of the mountain, even the mountainside was invisible. Yamato couldn't help but reveal a child-like smile on his face.
When they were in Shampoo Land, Orn didn't want to cause trouble and was worried that Kaido's partners would tell Kaido about their appearance in Shampoo Land. As soon as the two arrived at the port, he sailed away directly. After leaving Xiangbo Land, Yamato could only take a look at the prosperous Xiangbo District and the magnificent red earth continent from a distance.
Because of this incident, Da Heqi didn't speak to Aoun for three days.
But now she can not only look at it from a distance, but she can also come closer to take a closer look, and even touch the red earth continent with her own hands. How can this not make her feel excited?
Unlike Yamato, whose attention was completely attracted by the lighthouse and Upside Down Mountain, Orn immediately noticed the unattractive old man under the lighthouse with a headdress similar to that of an Indian.
Although he looks like an ordinary bad old man, Orn clearly knows his identity and background - the tower guard of the Twin Gap, and the ship's doctor Crox of the then Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
“I always feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…”
On the other side, Yamato, who had lost her excitement, also noticed Crocos. She stared at him with a thoughtful expression, and then said uncertainly after a moment:
"Big flowerpot?"
Crox had already noticed the strange man and woman coming from the opposite direction. At this moment, when he heard Yamato's soft grunt, his hand that was flipping the newspaper couldn't help but pause, and his eyes looking at Orn and Yamato were obviously a little more curious.
In all his life, there was only one ship where people called him that - thanks to some idiot samurai who loved giving people nicknames.
However, since they arrived in Ravdru, he has not been mentioned by anyone for almost twenty years.
Finally, the old man couldn't restrain his curiosity and took the initiative to speak:
"Little girl, where did you hear this nickname?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yamato suddenly became excited:
"It's really you?!"
With that said, she started to take out the Oden diary from the fourth-dimensional space pocket on her chest like Nami.
The moment he saw the diary, a look of reminiscence appeared in Crox's eyes unconsciously, and he spoke after a moment:
"We haven't seen each other for so many years. How is that idiot Oden doing?"
"He...he is dead." Yamato hesitated for a moment before telling Crocos everything that happened in Wano Country.
Listening to Yamato's narration, although Crox burst out with great momentum at a certain moment, that momentum quickly disappeared, and instead he let out a rather belated sigh:
"Everyone has his own destiny. This may be Oden's fate."
The people on Roger's ship seemed to be influenced by what Ralph Drew saw and heard, and they all firmly believed in a fatalism.
Affected by this kind of fatalism, they are unwilling to come forward to solve many problems when faced with them. They either allow the situation to develop, or they try their best to plan and layout, but no one is willing to stand up and solve the problem.
Aoun didn't like this way of life, but he didn't intend to say anything. People were free to do whatever they wanted, and he had no way to interfere with their decisions.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. You obviously didn't come to Upside Down Mountain to visit a bad old man like me."
As Crocos spoke, he stood up and walked to the shore and put his hand into the sea water. After closing his eyes for a moment, he opened his eyes and said:
"You are lucky. The reverse current will arrive in five days. By then you will be able to ride on this current and enter the four seas."
Regarding the reverse current, there is no description in the original work, and Orn only heard about it from Jinbei half a month ago.
Most of the time, the water flow in Upside Down Mountain maintains a single direction from all directions to the paradise, but there will be temporary reverse currents affected by tides and sky currents from time to time.
The occurrence time of this current is completely random, sometimes as many as ten times a year, and sometimes only once in a whole year.
Except for murlocs like Jinbei who can sense and even control ocean currents, only Crox, the tower guard who has been stationed at the Twin Gorges all year round, can accurately judge the time when the reverse ocean current appears.
Aoun and Yamato were very happy to hear that they could enter the Four Seas by riding the reverse current in three days. Aoun was excited because he was about to enter the four seas and gain a temporary stable period of development, while Yamato felt that he would be able to enter the four seas in the next three days. Finally, I was able to temporarily get rid of the damn seasickness symptoms and enjoy the joy of free movement for a short time.
…………
While waiting for the reverse current to appear, Orn and Yamato temporarily lived in the lighthouse in the Twin Gorges.
Everything went well for the first two days, but in the early morning of the third day, strange sounds came from the sea.
"BOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
The penetrating cry woke Aoun and Yamato from their sleep. They looked at each other, quickly dressed up, and ran out of the lighthouse.
Yamato behaved like a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old junior high school boy, while Aoun was much calmer. He had already guessed who the owner of the voice was.
Sure enough, when the two people came down from the lighthouse, they saw a huge island whale with a size of more than 400 meters and a head full of scars hitting the red earth continent.
Compared with the huge body that is 400 meters long, their small and medium-sized sailboat is not even as big as the eyes of this giant beast.
Island whale Rab... finally saw it!
