Chapter 804: Crossing the Water Curtain Cave, Achievement +1
[Chapter Heading Series·Mother Burial 5·"Mother Searching Team"]
[The boat sets sail and leaves this deserted island. On the deck are the sisters Chiffon and Lola, who are like bodyguards. Big-headed Wu Nu is cooking. Brin leans against the side of the boat and asks her sister in the sea. The mermaid Praline sticks out of the sea, and there are schools of flying fish on her left and right. She smiles and points to a direction in the distant sea...]——
The terrain of Wano Country is high, with mountain walls on all sides, like a huge bathtub, overflowing with waterfalls. The surrounding seas are not only windy and rough, but also full of reefs. Thanks to Nami's first-class sailing skills, she can command a ship like the Sunny in such a turbulent offshore waters, bypassing one reef after another, and almost rushing here on the whirlpools of the sea.
But that was the end. There were too many reefs ahead, too densely packed with rocks, leaving no room for the Sunny to pass through.
"Hehe, let's see who will go up first?"
Luffy knew Nami's speed of turning into lightning, so after he finished speaking, he excitedly stepped on the deck with his slippers, "Enter third gear--"
Silently, his calves swelled up like balloons, and at the same time, dark domineering lines swirled and spread like a whirlpool. He was about to use the enhanced rubber elasticity to rush up the waterfall and be the first to enter Wano Country, but was grabbed by Ace who was not in a good mood, "Wait a minute, kid!"
"What?" Luffy looked back innocently.
Marco looked at Luffy's legs, which had recovered quickly, in confusion, and said in disbelief: "You didn't use your full strength when you fought Blackbeard that day?"
Luffy grinned.
Marco and Ace exchanged a glance. It was understandable that this kid had some spare energy when dealing with Teach. After all, when he teamed up with the two of them, he was not at a disadvantage. But...
In what you call the final test with Instructor Lin, you couldn't have held back, right?
In other words, when you all came together to "knock down" Lynch, Luffy's fighting power was even stronger than when he defeated Blackbeard before? Zoro, Sanji and the others were not surprised. Obviously, they, who had trained together for a year, knew what Luffy's full strength was like.
That's all. You just beat Lynch to the ground?
Although Ace and Marco have been constantly raising Lynch's strength in their hearts, they still find that they have underestimated him.
"Huh? Why don't you say anything?" Lynch looked at Ace in confusion. You pulled Luffy and said something.
Ace coughed lightly and pointed at the waterfall in front of him. "Although there are many waterfalls around Wano Country, the reefs are not that dense, and there is only one waterfall suitable for landing. There are usually many huge carps swimming upstream at that waterfall, so it is easy to identify. Pirate ships that want to break into Wano Country usually rush up with the help of huge carps..."
As Ace introduced her, Nami seemed to be lost in thought. She walked to the side of the ship and looked out at the turbulent sea nearby.
Brooke and Meili above him looked up, "There are no giant carps like you mentioned in this waterfall."
"So we have to change places. We need to find the carp waterfall so that we can go upstream." Ace said, and if we go up from there, it will be not far from the Bianli Village where Xiaoyu is, so it can save him some trouble.
Luffy said unhappily, "We can get up here, right? Almost everyone knows how to do the Moon Step, and don't we all have clouds?" He chuckled, "It's easy to get up."
Usopp waved his hands, "The Sunny doesn't know how to moonwalk!"
Luffy said nonchalantly: "There will always be a way! At worst, we can just leave the Sunny here first..."
The lion head on the bow of the Sunny seemed startled and beads of sweat began to droop.
Swish!
Lightning flashed by the side of the boat. Robin and Lynch looked back and saw that one of Nami's arms had turned into lightning. Her palm was like a myriad of fine electric currents, controlling her golden staff to float in the air...
"Hey! Gold won't be attracted by magnetism, right?" Usopp and Chopper were surprised to see this.
Franky stroked his chin and asked, "Is there iron mixed in it?"
Lin Qi was surprised and asked, "Does the use of the Thunder Fruit involve magnetism?"
Robin laughed and said, "Someone couldn't use the Magnet-Magnet Fruit to touch the lightning in the first place."
"I'm really sorry that I'm not a top student." Lin Qi rolled his eyes.
Nami smiled. If it weren't for the time on Fishman Island, when she had experienced Lynch's stand's use of the awakened level of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, she wouldn't have been able to control magnetism so easily using the power of the Thunder Fruit.
She controlled the golden staff wrapped with countless electric currents to float out of the deck, like a buoy inserted into the turbulent sea. The countless electric currents on the golden staff were like countless tentacles extending from Nami's palm, sweeping out in a short moment. Dense arcs of electricity spread out on the rushing sea, just like countless arc fish, pouring out of their nests.
Almost at the same time, the terrain outlines of the sea areas surrounding Wano Country were reflected in Nami's mind one by one with the help of the large net woven by the spreading arcs of electricity.
"The huge carp waterfall that Ace mentioned seems to be over there... Huh?" Nami said, suddenly showing surprise, "There's a passage behind the waterfall?"
"Is there such a thing?" Ace Meng asked.
Lin Qi's heart moved, and he glanced at "BIB" who was meditating and practicing on the deck like a ghost among the crowd. If I remember correctly, that was the "dark port" of Wano Country in the comics, right? A secret port that can directly connect to the inland of Wano Country...
"Which way is closer?" Robin asked Nami.
"Is there a passage behind the waterfall?" Before Nami could answer, Luffy waved his hand excitedly and said, "Go over there!"
As for swimming upstream, I have encountered this at Upside-Down Mountain, but the latter sounds more interesting.
Nami followed his instructions and adjusted the course of the Sunny with Franky.
Brooke waved at the stern, "Lab, just play by yourself first~ Yohohoho~"
Even in a hellhole like Wano Country, it is possible to get the Sunny there, but it will definitely be difficult for Lab.
Lab shouted twice, then fell into the sea and went to play somewhere.
The Sunny circled the seas surrounding the towering Wano Country, its sails constantly changing, riding the ever-changing sea breeze, bypassing reefs and passing by waterfalls that looked like hanging clouds. Suddenly, Nami pointed at one of the waterfalls and said, "That's it."
"Charge!" Luffy stood at the bow, one hand on his waist and the other pointing a sword.
Zoro leaned against the side of the boat and asked Ace, "Haven't you been here before?"
Ace shook his head, "I didn't travel much in Wano Country."
Marco also said, "This place is closed to the outside world and doesn't welcome outsiders. A long time ago, my father took us to a place where we ran aground and stayed on the beach for a few days. In fact, I have never been to Wano Country to learn more about it..."
"Isn't that great?" Luffy laughed with his eyes sparkling, "No one has ever been here before, so we can go on an adventure together!"
As the Sunny got closer and closer to the waterfall, the roar of the white waves gradually became like thunder. Fortunately, the people on the straw hat boat had already heard thunder so many times that their ears were calloused and they were used to it.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! The bow of the Sunny entered the waterfall. Usopp and Chopper hugged each other. Modi, Mjolnir and other thunderclouds crowded around them. They closed their eyes nervously.
After all, they were heading straight into the waterfall, and Nami couldn't help but hold on to the side of the boat.
The huge sound of water made it impossible for Ace and Marco to open their observation Haki. They were a little confused. Is this possible? As the boat moved forward, they were submerged by the waterfall and disappeared into it.
Lin Qi waved his hand, and the blue-black iron rod jumped into his hand excitedly.
The waterfall came towards them, and Lynch smiled and crossed it side by side with Robin.
The huge waves hit Lin Qi, just like a drizzle. "BIB", who was quietly meditating on the deck, was like a ghost, letting the waterfall waves pass through. The water washed the deck without touching its armored body at all... There was indeed a different world behind the waterfall. Entering it, the roar of the waterfall echoed in my ears. It seemed to be a long corridor in the mountain cave. The narrow banks under the left and right mountain walls left traces of human activities.
"Water Curtain Cave, Lord Sage Lin has achieved another success." Robin's long hair was wet, with a smile in her eyes, and a light voice came from under the oxygen mask.
Lynch chuckled.
"What are you doing?"
Over there, the two brothers Ace and Marco, who are users of special abilities, were submerged and slowly washed away by the amount of water from the waterfall. Now they were weakly sitting on the wet and smooth deck, but when they turned around, they saw the people on Luffy's ship... Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were all wearing armor of different colors, standing in a row, like a team from a film set.
Franky waved his hand modestly and said, "Nothing much, just an emergency plan for the landlubbers on the ship."
Ace and the others took a look and found that, as expected, Zoro did not have this kind of armor. Lynch looked like nothing happened as he was carrying a stick. Nico Robin next to him had a half-armor mask covering her face.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"You are also a user of special abilities, right?" Marco looked at Franky in confusion.
Franky's chest opened like a refrigerator cabinet, revealing the mechanical structure inside. "Don't worry, I have a built-in emergency oxygen supply system."
Is this a look that can reassure humans? Ace and Marco stared at Franky, who looked like a non-human.
Brook was nearly torn apart, and used Autumn Water to string Franky's Thundercloud World Tree like a string of gourds to stabilize his body. The ship elf Merry poked her head out from the inside of the World Tree and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that everything was fine.
The World Tree is indeed the World Tree, with a world-sized mind, or like Franky, he has a strong sense of being the big brother. He has no opinion on Brook and Merry's behavior, and even nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey! Who are you?"
On the Sunny, Luffy and the others were smilingly putting away their belt armors, but suddenly there was a shout from under the ship, which scared Merry, who was rubbing her face as she just emerged from the Thundercloud World Tree.
It turned out that someone had spotted them on the riverbank leading to the harbor. It was a pirate of average build, but wearing a black leather jacket that looked gay, and with two black horns on his head.
The passage was still a little dim. He held up the torch and looked up at the ship. "This pirate ship is quite unfamiliar... Could it be that the pirate group has just joined us?"
He was muttering when the torch flickered and he saw himself lying next to the pirate ship in a similar black leather outfit with horns on his head. He nodded and said, "Oh, it's me. It's okay then... huh?!"
Ace watched in amazement as Mary transformed into the person below at the speed of light, but was discovered by the speed of light... could she only transform into the other person?
"You go to sleep first." Usopula fired his slingshot, and when the man below was about to shout for his companions, a bullet had already stuck in his mouth, and then it quickly grew and spread, becoming a plant with strong binding force, making the guy unable to move or shout. "Hey, done."
"These should be Kaido's men." Marco looked ahead, and saw a bright light coming from the hole at the end of the waterway. "It looks like we have driven directly into Kaido's territory."
"Isn't this great?" Zoro grinned, and Luffy also rubbed his hands together.
When they drove out of the passage, they suddenly saw a bright light in front of them - it turned out to be an open underground port! There were many pirate ships parked on the shore, and pirates dressed similarly to the guy just now were coming and going on the shore, most of them were carrying goods, transporting boxes from the docked pirate ships. There were caves along the walls, some of which were built by the water, and some of them had other pirate ships parked in them.
On the mountain wall directly in front of the Sunny was a wooden house. On the left and right of the house were gear-made... elevators?
Franky looked upwards. Lynch, Robin, Zoro and the others also looked up and saw the elevator made of gears. Above the cave was a wide vertical tunnel, but the light at the end was very small. One could imagine how high the elevator tunnel was.
The Sunny sailed out of the river with confidence, and the pirates with horns on their heads on the shore immediately looked over.
"Oops."
Usopp was about to use the power of the Transparent Fruit to turn the entire ship invisible, but Ace stopped him. He smiled and said, "Don't forget, there are two pirate groups here."
Marco smiled. Ace twirled his beard and said, "We can't always look so inferior." As he spoke, his eyes narrowed and an invisible domineering aura swept out.
The pirates from the Beasts Pirates on the shore who looked over with curiosity or confusion suddenly fell down in droves with their eyes rolled back and foam coming out of their mouths...
…
In the wooden house, a young girl wearing a mask was losing her temper.
"Damn it! I've been fooled!" Runti, who had a pair of white horns on her head, sat with her legs crossed like a lady from a noble family, but her eyes were full of ferocity. She roared at her subordinates in indignation, "It's so boring here! Why did you send me here? Didn't I just have a fight with that Yamato guy? I still want to play with Pepe, who wants to stay here——"
She slammed the table in anger, but the subordinates who were listening to her instructions obediently suddenly rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground.
Runti was stunned and blinked. So I have the talent of Conqueror Haki? No! Is it that Yamato who is chasing me? !
Bang! Like an angry Tyrannosaurus Rex, Runti smashed the wooden door open and jumped out to the square of Qiangang. However, his pupils shrank drastically, and all his men fell to the ground with foam at the mouth.
This Yamato kid... No, Yamato is wearing explosive handcuffs and can't leave Onigashima at all.
"It's so high up here..." A voice suddenly came from her ear. Runti turned her head with a very unfriendly look, and saw a group of ruffians jumping down from a pirate ship that seemed to have just docked. They looked up at the elevator passage and chatted with each other. The one wearing a straw hat noticed her and smiled, "Ace, there are others."
"Looks like he's an expert." Ace said with a smile.
His beard was on fire, and he was about to attack when a scabbard fell on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Roronoa.
Zoro said: "It's our turn now."
"Haha." Marco smiled and patted Ace's shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Lynch asked.
Luffy chuckled and said, "She's a woman, so there's no place for Sanji."
Sanji rolled his eyes.
"Don't count me in. It's okay. It's okay." Usopp waved his hands again and again. "Captain Usopp declares that these minions are left to you!"
"..." Over there, Runti listened to the nonchalant conversation of these people, who didn't take her, one of the Flying Six of the Beasts Pirates, seriously at all. She was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing. What made her eyes almost spit fire was that at the suggestion of the man carrying the iron bar, these people actually started playing rock, paper, scissors, and rock with each other.
