One Piece Tulip Family

Unlike the four seas with a calm and stable climate, the geomagnetism, astronomical phenomenon, currents, and air currents of the great route are chaotic. It is difficult for ships to confirm their own positions, let alone find islands. Previous navigation skills and experience are unreliable. Only the recording pointer and the permanent pointer are trustworthy.

The record pointer is a spherical special compass, which is the necessary equipment for navigators when navigating great routes. It can record the magnetic force of mutual attraction between islands and use it to guide the direction of the next island. Therefore, every time you arrive at an island, you have to wait for the records of the record pointer to fill up, so that you can set off to the next island, otherwise you will get lost at sea.

Because some large islands wait too long for the record pointer to fill up, it will delay the trip, so a smart businessman specially made a permanent pointer for sale. The permanent pointer is a record pointer whose magnetic force always points to a specific island.

However, due to the difficulty of magnetic recording, the number of permanent record pointers is very small, and most of them are only traded in the black market, often in the hands of major forces. Ordinary pirate groups and caravans can only use ordinary record pointers to navigate island by island.

There are seven magnetic lines extending from the starting point of the Great Airway, Upside Down Mountain. You can choose any one at the beginning, but no matter which island the magnetic force starts from, once you choose, you can’t change it. You can only go down the waterway one by one. In the end, these seven lines will converge to the Chambord Islands, and you can choose the waterway again when you arrive at the second half of the Great Airway, the New World.

Satan and the others bid farewell to Kulokas and set sail again after making some repairs at Cape Twins. The first island they chose was Whiskey Peak, which is the route of Luffy in the original book.

Different from other rookie pirates who don’t know anything about the great sea route, members of the Tulip Pirates not only have no fear of the great sea route, but also don’t worry about getting lost, because although Satan has been dormant these years, he has never let go of his attention to the sea. A weak name has its own territory, which makes the dark forces that Satan can use more terrifying, and naturally collects enough permanent pointers.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Satan’s storage space has permanent pointers to almost any important island on the great route, and he can sail to any island at any time. It would be ridiculous if they could still get lost in the sea after making such sufficient preparations.

Not to mention that Satan himself was born in the Babylonian Kingdom of the Great Route, and he has been used to the weird climate of the Great Route since he was a child, and it is not to say that the captains have already experienced the Great Route for three months before they officially set sail.

Their starting point is too high, so they have no fear of the great route.

The great route is the grave of the weak. Every year, countless pirates with dreams are buried here. But to the strong, all this is nothing at all. Some strong people in the new world even call the first half of the great route a "paradise".

Therefore, for the first half of the voyage of the great route, everyone in the Tulip Pirates has a relaxed attitude. The only goal is to build a reputation as soon as possible, and then kill a Shichibukai to force the navy to accept the seat of Shichibukai.

A few years ago, Satan and Doflamingo proposed the establishment of the Shichibukai Alliance. At this time, the sea rogue Doflamingo had already become one of the Shichibukai and used the power of the Shichibukai to seize the power of a country in the New World. He became a king. The power of the Don Quixote family is also developing rapidly, while the relative Tulip family has just begun their voyage, and it is already a step behind.

Originally, the Tulip family and the Don Quixote family had always cooperated closely in the black market trade, and the Tulip family had always been the leader. However, recently, Doflamingo has made frequent small moves. It has to be said that it is a kind of temptation to the Tulip family.

Perhaps Satan kept a low profile for too long, or perhaps it was the name and power of Shichibukai that gave Doflamingo the illusion that he could try to provoke Satan, but in any case, it was time for the Tulip Pirates to rise in a high profile.

Satan needs enough fame to frighten Xiao Xiao, and also needs enough reputation to seize the throne of Shichibukai under the king.

Although preparations have been made for the voyage of the great route, the strange and changeable weather that sometimes winds and rains, sometimes snows heavily, and sometimes scorches the sun still brings a lot of trouble to everyone in the Tulip Pirates. Therefore, when the surrounding climate becomes stable, the people on board can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyone who has often sailed on the great route knows that when the climate in an area tends to stabilize, it means that you have entered the climate range of an island, and you are about to approach the island. For pirates who are bumpy on the sea, it is indeed a happy thing to rest on the shore.

"Captain Satan, Captain Satan, see the island, we've reached Whiskey Mountain."

Satan was sitting on the side of the boat fishing boredly, when he heard the excited report from the lookout, he became excited immediately, and raised his head and asked, "How is the situation on the coast? Can we dock?"

"There is an inland river leading to the interior of the island. You can vaguely see the shadow of the town. It is not small and looks quite prosperous. This is not an uninhabited island and you can dock."

The lookout observed carefully for a long while before reporting to Satan one by one, with an uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

Having a town means having enchanting beauties and cold beer, as well as supplies and delicious food. There was a burst of cheers on the ship, and the nearly half-month voyage almost drove the thugs crazy.

"Well, follow the inland river into the island, find a suitable place to anchor, and let's go to the town to repair it."

Satan scratched his head and gave the captain's order, and arrived at an island where he could land. Not only were the crew members excited, but even Satan himself was quite happy.

On the boat, apart from fishing, there were really no other recreational activities, and what was even more strange was that during the nearly half month of sailing, apart from wrestling with the changeable weather, they didn't even encounter any other boats. It was really no fun at all.

Of course, Satan didn't know that it was because the pirates who entered the great route a few days before them were wiped out by flying squirrels, ghost spiders and Lieutenant General Dalmesia, so this voyage became so deserted.
