Pirate Genius

After dinner.

Practice continues.

For the people in the Black Crow Pirates, if they have nothing to do, most of their time is spent in their own training.

In addition, I occasionally do things that interest me.

Under the night.

After practicing, Mio returned to her room, took a sip from a bottle of rum, and opened a map to read, looking at the location of Impel Down on the map.

Impel City is located in a windless zone. To get there, you need to pass through the sea current within the Gate of Justice.

The Impel City building is deep in the sea, with its foundation on the seabed. It is a tower-shaped building standing in the sea.At this time, Mio looked at the location of Impel Down City and was naturally planning to go to Impel Down City.

He must make a trip to Impel Down City before heading to the new world.

After all, there are so many Devil Fruit users in Impel Down City, there is no reason to miss them.

And only this opportunity before entering the new world is the most suitable.

Gollum.

Mio took a sip of wine, swallowed the wine, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her eyes flickered, obviously she had thought of a complete plan.

"There's no rush now. It should be almost done by the time we reach the Chambord Islands."

Mio murmured, put down the bottle, put his hands on the table, and tapped his right index finger on the table.

The reason why Mio dared to have the idea to go to Impel Down City was that Mio knew that for most pirates, the Navy Headquarters would not kill them on the spot, but would instead imprison them in Impel Down City first, which meant that their lives were guaranteed.

Only a few pirates will be executed.

For example, those strong men and overlords on the sea in the past have basically been locked up in the sixth floor of the Impel City and have never been executed.

This is also a point that Mio is more curious about. Why the navy arrests pirates, especially the more powerful pirates, does not kill them, but just locks them up, which is confusing.

"Is it... related to the ability of the Dark Fruit?" Mio's expression moved slightly, with some guesses.

Roger's previous sea overlord, Rocks, was unsurprisingly a Dark Fruit user. Perhaps the World Government had known about the Dark Fruit's predatory ability during its confrontation with Rocks, and could plunder the abilities of other Devil Fruit users, so it did not kill him. Those pirates?Do you plan to directly rob these pirates of their abilities after finding the Dark Fruit?

"The possibility is not small." Mio muttered, but that's fine. It is precisely because of the advantage of the navy in catching pirates that Mio doesn't have to worry about his life safety.

As for how to get out of Impel Down City when the time comes, he has his own way.

...

The next day.

After Mio and the others woke up and had breakfast, they drove back and forth on this sea area, waiting for the rising current.

During this period, they also conducted their own training.

It is worth mentioning that during the training, Erica once again burst out with domineering domineering.

This is good news, and it shows that Erica is very close to mastering Overlord Color Haki.

But on this day, the rising current did not appear.

Mio could only continue to wait. All preparations were made and it was impossible to leave just like that.

Three days passed, and the rising current did not appear.

this day.

On the deck, Mio sat helplessly on a lounge chair under a sun umbrella, holding a bottle of rum in her hand. "Ah, it's so boring. When will the upwelling current appear?"

On the side, Robin asked helplessly. "Captain, are you really sure that there are upwelling currents every month? It's not like a few times a year, and you remember it as a few times a month, right?"

"How is that possible? I have a very good memory, okay?" Mio rolled her eyes, took a sip of wine, glanced at Heiken who was fighting with Warwick on the deck, and shook his head slightly. He was not in the mood to train today.

If this upwelling current didn't appear again, he might actually let Lilith fly up with him.

I just don’t know if my physical strength is enough to fly to the sky island.

After all, it was an extremely far place over the sea.

At this time, the waves on the sea were rolling, Hanba's figure appeared beside the boat, and excited voices were also heard. "Master, there is something going on under the sea."

"Huh?" Hearing the voice, Mio quickly sat up and asked. "what's the situation?"

"There is a deep hole on the bottom of the sea, and something seems to be erupting from it. Could it be the rising current you mentioned?" Hanba replied.

Because ships have always been docked in this sea area, sometimes he would go to the bottom of the sea to wander around when he was bored. He accidentally discovered the deep hole and noticed the situation inside, so he immediately came over to report it.

"Deep cave?"

Mio frowned, and then suddenly remembered that the reason for the appearance of upwelling currents in the original book was because of the deep holes on the seabed. So, is today the time when upwelling currents appear?

Mio said directly without hesitation. "Hanba, take the boat to the sea directly above the deep cave."

"Hanba understands." Hanba nodded, immediately dived into the sea, drove the ship, and quickly headed towards that place, and the ship also moved forward quickly.

When they came to the sea directly above the deep cave, Hanba's figure appeared again. "Master, the situation in the deep cave below is getting worse. Do you want to leave?"

"No, no need." Mio shook her head and smiled excitedly. "As expected, the rising tide will appear soon. Hanbao, please leave the area first."

"Yes." After hearing this, Hanbao left here immediately without hesitation.

Robin asked, standing up. "Captain, can we go to Sky Island?"

"Ah, no surprise." Mio nodded and came to the side of the boat to look at the situation under the sea.

Then, the corners of his mouth raised. "It can't be wrong."

He noticed a big change on the sea surface, and the water seemed to start to rotate faintly.

"Robin, hold on tight to the pole." Mio shouted.

Before Robin had time to ask why, he saw the water on the sea began to spin crazily, gradually forming a huge whirlpool with no bottom.

The ship entered the whirlpool, and there was a faint feeling of going deep into it.

"Master, what should we do?" Noticing the situation on the sea, Erica frowned and looked at Mio.

"It's okay." Mio looked calm, and hurriedly controlled the ship, stabilizing it to avoid going deep into the whirlpool, otherwise it would be swallowed by the sea water.

If nothing else happens, you just need to stabilize the ship, and then the whirlpool will calm down, and then the upwelling current will appear.

as predicted.

The whirlpool became more and more terrifying, but after Mio stabilized the ship, the whirlpool began to dissipate not long after, and the sea began to become calmer.

The turmoil on the seabed has already been brewing.

"Is it gone?" Robin hugged the flagpole tightly and asked looking at the sea around him.

"No, the real excitement begins now." An excited smile appeared on Mio's lips.

next moment.

The sea surface was rough, and the water under the ship suddenly surged up, lifting the ship into the air.

Then a terrifying current erupted directly from the bottom of the sea and rushed into the clouds in an instant.

"Hahahaha, it's finally here, the rising current!!"

At this moment, Mio couldn't help laughing and shouted excitedly while driving the ship. "Everyone, grab what's on the boat and don't get thrown out."

The ship clung to the rising current and rushed toward the sky with the current...
