Shuangyue Village is located close to the red earth continent between the East Sea and the North Sea. The location of a small village like Shuangyue Village is not even marked on the map drawn by the Kingdom of Gesdoor carried by Keya.
Even the last information obtained was when Keya was inquiring about the merchant ship, a businessman suddenly remembered and got the approximate location.
The middle voyage is not friendly either. It requires traveling all the way north, and then sailing all the way up along the offshore sea route of the Red Continent.
Keya further estimated that the distance was about a month, and the direction they sailed after leaving Little Teresa happened to be consistent with the direction of the Grand Route. In half a month, they had actually left the Red Earth Continent with smooth winds and smooth water. It's only a few days' flight time.
"Why do we go straight there?" Mina held the map and her mind was filled with question marks.
Judging from the distribution on the map, their destination was not in the direction facing the ship. On the contrary, the navigation route marked by Keya was more like a huge curve.
It can be said that we gave up the shortest route and chose the farthest route.
"Because you are an idiot. Of course you don't understand." Kona knocked Mina on the head and brought a salad with a pouty mouth. "Sailing on the sea does not mean that the shorter the route, the faster the speed. Some of them you look very easy on." The route is actually the fastest."
As she spoke, Kona brought up several more portions of food one by one.
Yuyuko's grilled chicken legs, Reijiu's Western-style beef, Keya's soft porridge, and Kona's simple mashed potatoes.
Keya nodded, "That's it. Maritime navigation generally does not consider the distance of the straight line, but the direction of the wind and ocean currents."
As he spoke, Keya took out another piece of paper, then drew a cross on the paper, and then wrote the words "Four Seas, Red Earth Continent" and "Great Route" respectively.
"This place of intersection is the starting point of the Great Line, Upside Down Mountain. The ocean currents from all over the world will rush to the top of the mountain due to the strong force, and after the intersection, they will flow into the Great Line. However, not all seawater enters the Great Line, only a small amount. Less part, more seawater will move eastward and along the windless zone after hitting the red earth continent. When it flows to the other end, it will hit the tall red earth continent and flow back along the red earth continent, and the four seas will be Such a large ocean current circle was formed.”
After speaking, Keya picked up the spoon and ate the soft porridge one by one. "This is just a general ocean current situation, but the ocean currents are also divided into upper ocean currents and deep ocean currents, and there are some weird undercurrents outside. But these are generally It is caused by the topographic factors of each island and land, and if we are sailing across the seas, we basically don’t need to pay special attention to it.”
After hearing this, Youyouzi roughly understood.
This is high school geography.
Affected by the deflection force of the earth's center, ocean currents generally have a fixed flow direction. Some changes will occur under the influence of climate, terrain, wind and other factors.
The flow of the ocean in the One Piece world is consistent with the Grand Line, so there is a spectacular scene of the water converging in the mountains and seas.
At the same time, the ships in the One Piece world are basically sailboats powered by wind, and the biggest feature of sailboats is their speed to catch the wind and ocean currents.
A favorable wind but not a favorable current may equal a light breeze.
If the wind is not favorable or the current is not favorable, it will basically deviate from the course.
It may deviate from the course if the current is not favorable, but it is generally easy to adjust.
If you go against the wind and the current, you will see the magical sight of the boat sailing backwards.
But if you are going with the wind and the current, the speed of the ship's route can reach a special height.
As far as Yuyuko knew, there were many sailboat naval battles in the west of the world before he traveled, and most of their tactical arrangements made great use of wind and ocean currents.
Thinking of this, Youyouzi couldn't help but interjected.
"The bigger the ship, the more it absorbs the ocean current, and the smaller the ship, the more it absorbs the wind. So if we go in a straight line, we won't be able to absorb the maximum wind and ocean current. At the same time, we have to go around many islands with unknown currents, so it's better to go directly Take the easy route.”
As soon as Youyouzi finished speaking, Keya and Kona couldn't help but cast surprised glances.
"Hey, hey, you guys are looking too much! I'm in trouble!" Youyouzi glared back dissatisfied.
Kona sighed, "I just didn't expect that an idiot like you would actually know these things. I thought you would only sleep, eat, and be silly and cute. I didn't expect that you could actually have some meaning, which is surprising~"
Keya nodded slightly.
What Kona said was absolutely true. Compared to the other four of them, Yuyuko was like an idiot who knew nothing, and was very confusing to many common sense questions.
And this time he actually said such valuable words...
Unprecedented.
However, Keya and Kona looked at each other and reached a consensus through eye contact.
Can't praise her enough. It will go to heaven.
Ten days later, a red line appeared in the gap between the sky and the sea. Then the red line expanded up and down, getting bigger and bigger.
That is the red earth continent that surrounds the world.
"Hurry up and turn the helm. We are about to enter the cyclone area. It will be too late to turn the helm when we get closer." Keya shouted with a serious look.
There are two highest points in the Red Continent, one is the Upside Down Mountain that climbs the sea currents, and the other is the land below Santa María Gioia above the clouds.
And this side happens to be the red soil continent of Santa Maria Gioia. The red soil continent here is different from other places. The vertical land is like a huge wall. Both sea currents and air currents will break in front of this thick and tall land. head.
The currents turn and the winds form cyclones here.
Therefore, this section is also an area where whirlpools and turbulent airflow are extremely concentrated.
Even if this is just the ordinary four seas, not the great sea route.
There are countless ships buried in this section. The best way is to turn in advance before approaching that sea area, avoid those cyclones and whirlpools in advance, and then directly cross to the back section with the current and wind.
The Little Strawberry turned its bow slightly and quickly deviated from the current and wind direction before entering the danger zone.
After driving for two more days in this situation, Keya breathed a sigh of relief after testing the wind direction several times.
"He's finally here."
Yuyouzi didn't quite understand, "Is it so scary there?"
Keya nodded, "That is the most terrifying place among the four seas. It is known as the Death Triangle of the Red Earth Continent. When a ship is about to approach, the force of the wind and ocean currents will suddenly increase. If it does not leave in advance, it will not be able to leave at all." It cannot open, and after entering it, the vortex caused by the turbulent airflow and chaotic sea currents makes it impossible for the ship to sail. Even if it is lucky enough not to be smashed by the whirlpool, it will still be difficult to move."
Mina tilted her head, "But we have Baymax~"
…
It seems that Mina's call was heard. A huge bald head emerged from the water, with its left ear folded: I seem to hear someone calling me?
The corners of Keya's mouth twitched, feeling bad all over.
Although the Triangle of Death in the Red Earth Continent is indeed very powerful, it is nothing to the sea beasts and Neptunes who are born to live in the sea.
It is said that the ocean currents deep under the sea are completely different from the ocean currents shown. It is a deep ocean current coming from the Grand Line. Many navies and pirates sailing on the Grand Line will use some special methods to return to the four seas through the deep ocean currents.
But it is still said that deep ocean currents cannot control the direction of navigation without the traction of marine animals.
Therefore, the existence of Baymax is a bug for the pirates who are still in the four seas.
While others are still playing in the Novice Village, you already have teleportation scrolls for the Novice Village and advanced dungeons.
The Kingdom of Germa, which came from the North Sea and invaded the East Sea, was slightly different.
Others are drowning, they are climbing over the wall...
Taking a deep breath, Keya decided not to say anything to the group. Cheating is amazing!
"According to the charts, we have now left the triangular sea area and entered safe waters. In another three days of sailing, we will reach the first place suitable for repairs."
A place for trimming?
Yuyouzi suddenly became interested. After all, her idea was to travel around, and she would certainly not miss out on seeing new places.
Anyway, he is not wanted by the navy now, it is the most free time.
"Where is it? Where is it?" Youyouzi asked excitedly.
Keya looked at the map again and frowned slightly, "An unfriendly place, known as the noble kingdom closest to the Celestial Dragons..."
"The Kingdom of Goa."
Mentioning the kingdom of Goa, Keya, can’t help but feel a little displeased.
Keya, who was born in the Kingdom of Gostal, received a chivalry education from her father and elder brother, and followed the educational philosophy that the king is the protector of the people. However, her father and elder brother were very concerned about this man who constantly wanted to get closer to the Celestial Dragons. Kingdom always has a few comments to make from time to time.
Tao is different.
Fortunately, one of the two kingdoms is located in the depths of the ocean, and the other is a kingdom on a peninsula on the edge of the Red Earth Continent. At the same time, the Kingdom of Gersdall is not an ally of the World Government. In fact, the two have no intersection.
But this does not affect Keya's dislike for it.
The Goa Kingdom's national philosophy that nobles are human beings is completely different from the national philosophy that the knights of the Kingdom of Gerstal should protect their people with the eight virtues.
Unlike Keya, Yuyuko's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard about Goa Kingdom.
"The Kingdom of Goa, the hometown of the naval hero Garp, you must visit it!"
The three major check-in locations in the world of One Piece are Windmill Village in the Kingdom of Goa, Rogge Town where the Pirate King was executed, and Marine Headquarters Marine Fodor where the war broke out.
Windmill Village produced Garp and Long and later the three brothers.
Roger Town announced the death of Roger, the pirate king of the generation, and was also the place where a new era began.
The War on the Top announced the end of the old pirate era and the beginning of the new pirate era.
"Don't think about it. As far as I know, the Kingdom of Goa is very exclusive." Reiju said calmly while holding a copy of the News of the World, "There are two main areas in the Kingdom of Goa. One is where their nobles gather. Digao Town, and the other one is the huge garbage mountain outside Gao Town, and further away is the mountain forest where a lot of beasts come out. Of course, there are also some small villages and towns in some coastal areas outside the mountain forest."
Yuyuko shook her head and said with a smile, "Then let's find a place to land and have a look. Anyway, we are not wanted. As long as we don't say we are pirates, I believe there are still many villages that can accept us."
"But formal ports require docking fees. Do we have the money?" Reiju asked.
"Didn't an unlucky pirate come to rob us before?"
Reiju was speechless.
Then I suddenly remembered that there was a group of miscellaneous fish pirates called the Green Dog Pirates who took a fancy to their little broken boat and came to rob it, but they were completely eaten.
But the harvest was only about 300,000 Baileys, so Reijiu subconsciously ignored this kind of change.
"Is that Bailey enough?"
Four silent faces responded to her.
For Yuyuko, the economic concept of the One Piece world is extremely vague. In the beginning, on the Lilac, no matter what the consumption was, it was extremely high.
And Amazon Lily has its own economic system.
The only official contact was with the excessive Moka Town last time.
So the cost of berthing the ship and so on...who knows!
Mina and Kona know a little bit about it, but they haven't been in contact with the world of normal people for a long time...
Not to mention Keya, who rarely leaves the palace except for the miscellaneous knowledge she has and is completely insensitive to this aspect.
The scene suddenly became very embarrassing.
The five economic illiterates suddenly talked about the issue of money...
After a few minutes of silence, the topic finally ended with the sound of Reiju flipping through the newspaper.
Two days later, East China Sea, Windmill Village
As the name suggests, Windmill Village has many windmills. The reason why there are so many windmills is because this is the first peninsula where the terrain has slowed down after the arrival of the Red Earth Continent. Some of the wind that hits the wall on the Red Earth Plateau will divert and blow here. The wind is strong. Naturally, we have to take advantage of it.
So Windmill Village actually faces the Grand Line.
However, because pirates rarely return from the Grand Line, and Windmill Village belongs to the Kingdom of Goa, a world ally, and is also the hometown of the hero Navy Garp, pirates generally do not dare to commit crimes here.
If Garp remembers it, it's not like he's dead.
You must know that Roger was chased by Garp for several years~
Didn't Roger get caught in the end?
Who among the remaining children dares to say that he is better than Roger.
As the village leader of Windmill Village, Uso Slap walked around the village as usual and came to Maginot's Bar.
However, as soon as he looked into the bar, his forehead suddenly turned dark.
The two brats were sipping free juice and milk and saying something like, "I want to become the Pirate King." ''I am the Pirate King! ''The Pirate King can only be me! 'Such death-defying remarks.
However, the two years of experience have made Slapp extremely experienced, and he has successfully obtained the title of master of time management... and master of emotional management.
So he picked up the walking stick and hit each of the two little devils with a stick. "Bastard Ace, stupid Luffy, they both told you not to say those things here!"
"Yabai! The village chief is here!" Luffy screamed, grabbed a chicken leg from the side and ran away.
Upon seeing this, Ace swallowed the milk in his hand and quickly followed. "Damn it, Luffy, wait for me, that's my chicken leg!"
As he spoke, Ace grinned and turned back to Maggie Lu, who was looking at her with a smile, waving her hand, "I owe you the money for the meal. I'll make sure to do it next time!"
However, just when the two of them ran out of the bar, they flew back one after the other.
"Ouch!"×3
"bump!"
The next moment a little girl's voice yelled, "Which bastard can't walk without eyes!"
Youyouzi silently patted the dust on her butt and stood up.
I was so excited about seeing the Maginot Bar just now that I didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all. Unexpectedly, I was knocked over at this moment.
So careless, so careless!
But the next moment, a meatball bumped into you in the bar and then rushed towards Yuyuko. Yuyouzi, who had recovered her senses, could be attacked again. His hands were slightly wrapped with a hint of domineering and he fought back angrily. "You attacked me once, do you want to do it again?"
So the meat ball was punched by Youyouzi and fell to the ground.
"it hurts!!!"
