The entrance to the Grand Line, Twin Capes.
"Oh oh oh!! Boss, we successfully climbed the Upside Down Mountain! Those ruthless navy can't catch up with us now!"
The sailors of the Golden Ax Pirates shouted excitedly, and besides being excited, there was also some joy of surviving the disaster.
Captain Casey nodded and let out a long sigh of relief.
They are pirates who were forced to rush to the Upside Down Mountain from the Western Sea.
During the turmoil in the Western Sea a few years ago, the Promensa Islands, the safest base camp for pirates, suffered heavy losses because of the emergence of a very evil guy named Beccado. That guy directly turned the West Sea upside down. At that time, the pirate base camp in the Promensa Islands was almost wiped out. After the incident, the Navy called a few lieutenants to directly turn the Promensa Islands into The largest naval base in the West China Sea.
This directly caused the pirates in the West Sea to lose their safest haven. Not only that, the Promensa Islands guarded the key point, but it was also a place where ocean currents diverted. From here, you can travel to various places in the West Sea faster than other routes. , which in disguise makes the navy more agile in the West China Sea. Countless pirates in the West Sea can no longer squat in the West Sea. Some people with ideas had already smuggled to other sea areas during that period or went directly to the Grand Line.
Although the remaining pirates still make the West Sea uneasy, they can no longer act as unscrupulously in the West Sea as before. After they robbed a small town, they were bitten by the navy and chased all the way to Upside Down Mountain.
If they don't go up the mountain, they can only rush all the way to the Promensa Islands along the turbulent ocean current. As long as the navy chasing them is not stupid, they will definitely contact the navy at the Promensa Islands Naval Base to outflank them. It can be said that there is almost no possibility of running away.
In the end, he could only risk his life and rush up the upside down mountain.
As for why the Navy bites them so hard...
Casey shook his head and muttered, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have massacred that town. These marines are so annoying!"
"Oh~ slaughtered a town? Let's say a few hundred people in a town. Then you are really brave~"
Casey snorted, "Of course, I'm so brave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Casey felt something was wrong.
Looking up, I saw a woman sitting on the mast at some point. The woman was dressed coolly, covered with a white cloak, and had a fishing rod on her shoulder. However, the appearance is somewhat unclear due to the sunlight.
? !
"Who are you, and how did you get on our ship!" "Young men, prepare to fight!"
With just a short roar, the boys below immediately switched from various states to fighting state, with their muskets loaded and pointed at the woman above.
The woman looked at the gun pointed at her without any fear.
After thinking about it, he chuckled and said, "Who am I? Actually, I have many identities, but lately~" "How about the fisherman of Twin Capes~?"
Casey's brows furrowed, and an uneasiness lingered in his heart. This sense of crisis was even stronger than when he was being chased by the navy. He didn't know how many times stronger it was.
Don’t think too much
"Shoot! Shoot!"
After a few seconds, the smoke from the musket cleared, and Casey quickly checked. Just as he took a step forward, a woman's soft call came from behind him, and a hint of coldness appeared on his neck.
"Let's go, take two more steps~"
I was sweating profusely, and even my crotch couldn't hold my pants.
Casey found that at some point, a thin fishing line was wrapped around his neck, and the line felt very smooth. Experience told him that this is a fishing line of excellent quality, whether it is used for fishing... or for beheading...
"No...don't...I don't want to..."
Casey turned around and wanted to beg for mercy, but the moment he turned around, his head separated from his neck like a low-quality toy's head.
His head turned towards the woman with the last of his strength. At this moment, without the sunlight dazzling his eyes, he finally saw the person clearly.
The pupils suddenly contracted, as if they had seen something terrifying.
His lips opened, but nothing came out.
And his crew members did not leave him. In just a moment, these crew members were all lying in a pool of blood.
The woman shook her head, carefully jumped among the corpses and the pool of blood, and finally successfully entered the cabin. Not long after, the woman walked out carrying a large wooden box as big as one person.
"I thought it was so awesome, but it turned out to be like this~"
Sighing, the woman disappeared on the boat.
At Twin Points Lighthouse, an old man carrying a harpoon looked around, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a woman falling from the sky outside.
"Youyuko, where did you go to find such a box?"
Kurokas smiled and greeted him.
Yuyuko chuckled and briefly hugged Kurokas.
"Aren't you fishing? How come you can still fish for treasure chests?" Kurokas joked.
Youyouzi took off the strength from his shoulders and threw the box to the ground. The treasure chest hit a hole, the lid came loose, and a pool of gold coins spilled out.
"Uncle, I didn't catch this thing." Tan Shou sighed, "I was distracted when I was fishing, and then I saw a boat coming down the mountain, so I wanted to listen, but the guy said that he had killed one. small town."
Koulokas “…”
Shaking his head speechlessly, Kurokas picked up the box and took Yuyuko towards the lighthouse. A hole was opened on the ground floor of the lighthouse. After walking a few steps, I found a room and threw it in like trash.
"Really, you've only been here two months, and I've already accumulated at least 300 million beli here. Do you want me as a beacon to be targeted?"
Youyouzi shrugged angrily, "Isn't this... I can't help it~"
Kurokas rolled his eyes. "Remember to call your people to take it away."
"Hmm~"
When we reach the top of the lighthouse, here are the houses under the top tower, and further up is the pure 'light' structure. Kurokas simply made two cups of tea and then sat down with Yuyuko against the window.
"It's been two months. I've been curious, why do you suddenly want to play here as an old man like me? What's wrong? Are you tired of traveling around the world?"
Yuyouzi nodded, "Absolutely, a little bit." "More importantly, it's almost time."
"Is it almost time?" Kurokas looked at Youyouzi doubtfully. "What time?"
The corners of Youyouzi's lips curled up slightly, "Uncle, you should know that we have boarded the Ravdru. It's almost time."
Kurokas frowned and said, "Are you?..."
Yuyuko shook her head quickly, "No, I didn't find all four road signs to go to Ravdrew. The closer I get to the truth, the more I feel that Ravdrew is no longer that important. The truth of the world has long been hidden in every corner of the world. Corner. Isn’t it~”
"you……"
Kurokas felt like he had thousands of words for a moment, but the words went back and forth in his mouth countless times, but in the end he still didn't say them out. After sighing, "How do you... understand... the historical text."
Yuyuko smiled playfully, "Uncle, you can't just ask about a beautiful girl's secret~"
Kurokas:…
Beautiful girl...the most dangerous beautiful girl in the world! In the past three years, he had heard many rumors about this so-called 'beautiful girl'.
His Majesty the Shichibukai, the most shameful traitor among pirates, the Queen of Storms, and the most dangerous girl in the world...
In four years, her figure traveled from the West Sea to the North Sea, from the North Sea to the East China Sea, and then from the East China Sea to the South China Sea.
It changes sea area almost every year.
Of course, this is not a problem. The real problem is that before she reaches a sea area, the pirates in this sea area will be in danger, because this woman always likes to assume various strange identities and dress strangely. Strange clothes appear in strange places at strange times, and then... capture a bunch of pirates and go to the naval base to collect the bounty...
It’s not like there were no pirates who raised the flag to resist.
But they were now advancing into silence in the city.
Almost with the power of one person and one ship, the whole world became extremely stable.
Not only that, it seemed that they were afraid of her return, and many of the new pirates who had gone to sea had become 'amiable'. There were even several pirate groups who were beaten up by other pirates because they were too un-pirate-like.
This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that at this opportunity, the pirates actually defected directly to the navy, and then colluded with the navy to kill several extremely powerful pirates in one wave, and were recruited by the navy for their achievements. .
It means that you have successfully abandoned darkness and turned to light.
Kurokas sighed. Anyway, the sea in recent years has made it increasingly difficult for him to understand. I always feel that there are several hands controlling the sea behind it.
However, even so, the number of pirates on the sea is still increasing, but they are just less aggressive than before. But how long can such days last?
Shaking his head, "No, no one knows who the man who came according to the legend is, and no one knows where he comes from, so you can't be waiting for him. Who is it? Girl Youyouzi, who are you waiting for? "
Youyouzi laughed, "I really can't hide it from you. Well, counting the days, my stupid Ou Doudou is already an adult. I estimate that he will come from the East China Sea to adventure on the Grand Route during this period. As a sister, I Don’t come here.”
After saying this, Kurokas understood immediately.
Since it is an adventure, he must take the Upside Down Mountain to enter the Grand Route, and as long as Youyouzi stays here, he will definitely be able to wait for that person.
"what is his name?"
Yuyuko looked out the window "Luffy...Monkey D. Luffy"
Kurokas's eyes lit up slightly, "D..." "That's really exciting~"
"Sure enough, uncle, you are just as I thought~ let's go fishing!"
As soon as he mentioned fishing, Kurokas's face darkened. "Get out! Are you fishing?"
Kurokas felt extremely depressed when he thought about this. Fishing has been a part of his retirement life, and his fishing skills are already very good.
But is this guy fishing?
He is basically here to purchase goods!
Youyouzi shrugged and said with a proud look on his face, "Hehe~"
As a person with excellent fishing skills, fishing skills are naturally not a problem.
Well, it's just that the second awakening of Yuyuko's fruit power has already had some results, and the fish can't notice the slightest danger at all. I was hooked easily.
A few days later……
Youyuko, who was sitting under the umbrella and enjoying the sunshine, raised her eyebrows and showed a happy smile.
"It's finally here~Luffy~"
