Battle of Pirates Bear Roar

Theoretically speaking, if the East China Sea jumps over the windless zone, it can directly reach the Grand Route.

But this theory requires very strong strength or specific equipment to achieve it.

Not everyone can swim shirtless across the windless zone like Reilly.

Or have a navy-type sea-floor stone warship to sail in the windless zone.

Most pirates who break into the windless zone end up being swallowed up by sea kings.

For pirates at the Sihai Novice Village level, it is absolutely impossible to cross the windless zone.

The only option left for them was Upside Down Mountain.

Before reaching the entrance to Upside Down Mountain, Locke could see the Red Earth Continent in the distance.

The summit of the continent cannot be seen from here, and thick clouds and fog block people's view of exploring upwards.

The ocean current that goes against common sense rushes upward, and the turbulent ocean current makes a rumbling sound.

Mihawk furled the black sails. There was no need to use the wind to move upward here. The current would rush all the ships that entered the range towards the channel.

Continuing to lower the sail will only cause the boat to capsize.

"Oh." Locke looked at the scenery in front of him and shouted excitedly.

Watching the animation and seeing it in person are completely two different feelings.

Locke's blood boiled all over.

This is adventure.

The current was fierce and chaotic, and the small boat without a rudder was carried by the current and crashed into the rock wall on the other side.

Seeing this, Locke shouted: "Aya, throw the shield to me."

Aya hurriedly threw the shield over.

The increase in weight caused the boat to tilt slightly, and the fierce current flowed over the side of the boat. Locke slammed the shield against the rock wall, and the impact allowed the boat to leave safely.

Locke then threw the shield back.

The boat regained its balance and only some water came in.

"Phew, it's so dangerous." Locke exhaled, almost losing the boat.

Mihawk was very calm.

The boat rushed into the clouds and mist, and the wind blew particularly cool on her body. The course deflected to the rock wall on the left, and Aya used her shield to block it.

Bang, the boat moved away from the rock wall and surged upward.

Suddenly, the hazy clouds and mist disappeared, and Locke could hear the louder sound of water in his ears. It was the ocean currents from all directions colliding together and rushing towards the entrance of the Grand Route.

The boat sailed to the top of the Upside Down Mountain, and Locke also saw ten pirate ships appearing from three channels: the South Sea, the West Sea, and the North Sea.

These ships had their sails furled, pirate flags tied to their masts, and their crews all looked fierce.

The coffin ship without the pirate flag was surrounded by them like a little sheep caught in a pack of wolves.

Aya held onto her hammer and shield, guarding against enemy attacks.

Locke glanced at it casually and had no intention of taking the initiative to seize the ship.

Hawkeye hasn't agreed to join yet. If Locke seizes the ship, why should he stay here?

Of course, if these guys want to die, Locke doesn't mind destroying them and the ship together.

"Hey, let's kill them." A new pirate rubbed his hands excitedly.

The more proficient pirates are, the more they want to massacre and plunder civilians to prove their own strength.

"Idiot, look at the appearance of that ship, the candles on the bow, and look at that man's eyes. If I'm not mistaken, that guy is Mihawk, the Hawkeye of the North Sea."

"Wandering on the sea, challenging other swordsmen everywhere, he is now a world-famous swordsman. Our target is Roger's treasure. There is no need to conflict with this guy."

None of the ten pirate ships wanted to take action against this small ship.

On the one hand, he was afraid of Hawkeye Mihawk's strength. That kind of man exuded a strong aura from the inside out, and everyone knew that he was not easy to mess with.

The flip side is that Hawkeye looks too poor.

What treasures can that little boat hold?

The risks and rewards of dealing with Hawkeye are completely incomparable, and the money-hungry pirates will not take the initiative to provoke him.

Locke turned his head and said, "You were born in Beihai."

"Yeah." Mihawk responded casually.

The ship rushed into the clouds again.

Woo.

The loud noise that numbed people's eardrums echoed inside the channel.

"What, what's the sound?" someone shouted in panic.

Mihawk looked serious and stared ahead. There was an extremely huge figure in the clouds and mist.

"so big"

The pirates screamed in surprise on the ten ships.

Breaking through the clouds and fog, Rab, who was guarding the mouth of the channel, was shouting loudly, fulfilling his past agreement.

Locke covered his ears. The closer he got, the louder Rab's screams became.

"What a lucky whale." Mihawk sighed.

If he saw this whale during meal time, he would taste what this whale tasted like.

Now is not the time for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Mihawk's habit is not to eat anything.

It was fate that favored this whale.

Locke wiped his saliva, no, you can't eat Labu, this whale is very humane.

The current Labu is not as huge as it will be in the future, and the channel is not completely blocked, allowing the pirates to pass smoothly.

They didn't have the strength to provoke such a huge fiasco, so they each drove in different directions.

"Where are we going?" Locke asked.

Mihawk took out a permanent record pointer from his arms and said: "Steel City, Seiler, this is the record pointer leading there."

Unlike the Four Seas, the first half of the Great Route basically relied on recording pointers and permanent recording pointers. The role of navigation charts became smaller and the compass was basically useless.

Mihawk also listened to what others said.

He has challenged swordsmen in the four seas before, and this is his first time on the Grand Line.

Locke asked curiously: "Is this a permanent record pointer?"

Mihawk nodded and said, "Yes, I bought it from an underground agency."

Locke was shocked, "There are also underground intermediaries."

"Yeah." Mihawk replied simply.

The underground intermediaries in Beihai specialize in selling some information about the Grand Route, or record pointers. Their service targets are famous bounty hunters and swordsmen, people who can go to the Grand Route at any time.

As for pirates, they are not in their service.

Pirates are a group that all businessmen hate. They don't spend money to do anything, and they steal everything they need.

Only in some special places, such as Gaya Town, which is exclusive to pirates, or sensitive places like the Shampoo Islands.

Only then will the pirates curb their desire to plunder and spend money to buy things.

In other places, pirates just grab it directly.

Who would want to do business with pirates unless they had to?

There is no guarantee of credibility at all.

"I have wanted to make a knife out of Senna steel for a long time. The underground agent told me that there are only a handful of people in the world who own Senna steel, and one of them is in the steel capital, Sailer."

Mihawk explains in detail.

Locke was filled with questions.

Aya's blacksmith soul burned and she said excitedly: "I heard the old man say that Senna steel is known as the foundation of famous swords. Many famous swords are made of this steel, but the output of this steel is very small."

"There was a man in Seiler who was known as a famous craftsman in the past. He owned Senna steel. I collected Bailey specifically to buy his Senna steel."

Mihawk showed a hint of joy on his face.

As a swordsman, how could he not like famous swords?
