Pirate's Freedom

"Now that you're here, let's come in and talk about it."

Tata Tot pushed open the door of the grocery store and walked in first.

"Hey...Tata Tot..."

Polusalino spoke.

"Don't you lock the door at your house?"

"There's no need to lock the door here."

Tata Tot walked towards the second floor.

"..."

After looking around at the first floor, which was no different from an ordinary grocery store, Porusalino followed him up the stairs.

"Ouch!"

At the entrance of the stairs to the second floor, Porusalino stopped in front of the carpet.

"Sorry, where are the slippers?"

"It doesn't matter, just do whatever you want."

Tata Tot walked into the kitchen, first put the bag in his hand into the sink with the fish, and then walked out.

"Forgot to ask."

He said.

"Do you have any taboos?"

"If I have to say it, I don't have any taboos except Devil Fruits."

Porusalino found a place to sit down by himself.

"so--"

Tata Tot turned around.

"Then I'll be free to do whatever I want."

"Oh yo yo, it's such a rare opportunity, then I'll try your craft."

……

The majestic and spectacular scene did not become clear as it gradually approached. In the lingering water mist, it went straight above the clouds. What you saw in front of you was that incredible mountain——

"This is Upside Down Mountain!"

"We're going to climb a mountain!"

I don’t know whether it is the miraculous workmanship of nature or a miracle created by manpower thousands of years ago.

"Look there!!"

Between the steep rock walls is a narrow waterway, and the sea current that suddenly becomes turbulent rushes up along the waterway.

"The water is really flowing upward!"

"This is the entrance to the canal!"

Huge stone doors with sharp edges are neatly arranged at the entrance of the waterway.

Just the next moment.

As if a dividing line had been crossed, the ship's hull shook slightly and its speed increased significantly, causing several people on the ship to lean back.

"Nami, the boat suddenly became faster!"

"That's why it's called the moment of entrance!"

"Bailey! Stuck!"

"receive."

The mast suddenly rotated, the hanging pulley began to rotate, the rigging pulled the sail, and the wind angle of the sail changed complexly.

The speed of the sailboat suddenly dropped.

Even so.

"Captain Nami, the current is narrowing ahead, please seize the opportunity."

Under the hull, the turbulent waves seemed like thousands of horses galloping, and the reddish-brown rock wall in the distance quickly zoomed closer in the field of vision.

"Everyone, focus! We're riding the current now!"

Standing in the middle of the deck, Nami stretched her arms and pointed her index finger at the center line of the door.

"The ship listed seven degrees to starboard..."

She turned a blind eye, and there were layers of sweat on her forehead.

"The direction is off! Stay to the left! Stay to the left!"

Karina, Nokkigao and Ila worked together to turn the rudder.

"it is good……"

Karina leaned back as hard as she could.

"Well……"

Ila's little face turned red.

"Uh……"

Nuo Qigao's feet were already dangling in the air, and his whole body was hanging on the rudder.

"The rudder is so heavy!"

"Keep steering!"

"Left rudder 25 degrees! Wait! 15 degrees!"

"How much!"

Veins appeared on the back of her hands, Karina said loudly.

"Did you see those handles on the rudder? Turn half a square to the left!"

The eyebrows on both sides became more and more uneven, and Nami's right eye remained unblinking.

The front of the sailboat was slightly to the left, and the increasingly larger entrance was close at hand.

"hateful!"

Nokigao began to swing like a swing.

"Hey!"

Ila jumped up and hugged her.

"Drink!"

In the turbulent sea current, the stern of the ship suddenly shook and tilted slightly to the right, and the bow began to move to the left.

The next moment-

On both sides of the ship, the doorposts were carved with strange creatures with elephant trunks, crocodile mouths and fish bodies, passing by at a dizzying speed.

Like an arrow leaving a string, the Billionaire climbed straight up along the waterway.

"Ha! Passed!"

"We're in!"

Nokigao and Ila fell to the ground and rolled several times on the sloping deck. Karina chased after them to stop them.

"Haah...haha...everyone haha..."

Blinking her dry right eye desperately, Nami sat slumped on the deck, laughing and panting.

"The next step is just to get down."

"Roller coaster—a roller coaster ride—"

……

Gu</span>Wearing a navy blue trench coat, black trousers and boots and white V-neck long sleeves, looking at the coconut trees and small triangular flags on the street, a man dressed as a traveler walked through the bustling crowd.

"This guest——"

Street vendors attract customers.

"Would you like to buy some fruit?"

"Give me a handful of bananas."

Stop at the fruit stand.

"By the way, may I ask -"

Kuzan asked as he took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

"How to get to Tata Tot's house?"

……

After a while.

Everyone lay down on the railing of the bow.

"The clouds are below us~"

Through the thin mist, the white clouds were left behind, and the Billion Berry moved forward bravely as if it was heading towards the sky.

"Icarus of ancient Greece~"

Ira sang.

"Use wax to fix the bird's feathers~"

Nami grinned, opened her hands and shouted.

"I want to draw a complete map of the world!"

"Hold it with both hands and spread your wings and fly~"

Holding the side of the boat with both hands, Karina smiled knowingly.

"I want to become a rich man!"

"Ah! I want this too!"

"The time has come."

With drooped eyebrows, Noqigao showed a deep expression.

"From today on-"

"I will stand in heaven!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

"He flew away from the hill quickly~"

The laughter and singing are melodious.

"We're on the top of the mountain!"

Leaping up from the top of the mountain where the four seas gathered, the Billion Berry was thrown into the sky by the violent currents.

"Higher and farther than the clouds~"

Under the hull is the boundless sea of ​​clouds. Before being recaptured by gravity, the white sailboat flies in the sky.

"Yeah~"

The exclamation was like a sigh.

"Oh……"

"Below is the vast blue ocean~"

"Oh oh oh - everyone -"

Nokigao suddenly became excited.

"I saw the Grand Line!"

"That's right! We've arrived-"

Nami laughed.

"Down below is the greatest sea in the world!"

"Flap the wings in your hands hard~"

"Fly towards the sun as your target~"

"..."

After the excitement, everyone slowly calmed down.

Amidst the splashing waves, the sailboat fell into the waterway again and began to rush downward quickly.

"Only courage is his friend~"

"We must live strong~"

"Our only friend is courage~"

"It's really nice to sing."

Karina suddenly asked.

"What song is this?"

"Hehehe~"

Ila became shy.

"This is the song my dad taught me to sing."

……

"I still remember that day, sitting in the office, drinking tea and cutting my nails. A flash of lightning flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered it."

"That's the feeling of - [ah...]."

At the dining table, Porusalino crossed his legs.

"It turns out there is such a guy. I was really shocked at that time."

"Why did you forget? You obviously taught me a very important lesson."

"The only thing that can do this is Devil Fruit, right? Tata Tot, you have also encountered a lot of things..."

A sound.

"Ah, here we come."

Looking towards the doorway downstairs, Porusalino raised his voice.

"The door is unlocked, just come up."

Footsteps sounded on the stairs.

"We're here first, Porusalino. I bought bananas for you."

After glancing at Kizaru, Kuzan turned his gaze and looked at Tata Tot walking out of the kitchen, raising the emerald green glass bottle in his hand.

"I brought TioPepo's Shirley, do you want to drink a little?"

"Wine?"

Tata Tot asked.

"Ah la la la..."

Kuzan laughed.

"Tata Tot, are there any pirates in this world who don't drink?"

"Then have a drink."
