【One Piece】Red-haired Lysia

「005」Red Earth Continent

I have to say that following Luffy really allowed us to encounter many interesting things. After sending Abis, a girl with the ability to whisper fruit, back to Battleship Island, everyone officially prepared to cross the Red Earth Continent.

Because she met the admiral of the 8th Marine Branch, Lysea did not show up, so she could only watch Luffy fight in aggrieved manner but was unable to help.

Lysia was sobbing silently in the corner of the Mellie: "If I could have taken action, that Eric should have gone to Impel Down to stay."

But fortunately, it ended with Luffy's success.

Not long after the Meili sailed away from Warship Island, a rain cloud appeared in the sky ahead. Black clouds gathered in the sky, and the undercurrent above began to surge.

"Corona, I'm a little unsure about the entrance to the Grand Line." Nami spread out a map and pointed with her fingers hesitantly, "Is the entrance to the Grand Line on the mountain?"

"Mountain?"

"Do you want us to hit the mountain? What do you mean?"

"I don't think it's possible either." Nami said doubtfully, "But the picture shows a canal going up the mountain."

"That's the entrance." Lysia held the spoon she had just eaten dessert with and pointed at the map with her slender fingers. "That's it. This is the entrance to the Grand Line, 'Upside Down Mountain'."

Looking at the confused faces, Lysia took another mouthful of pudding and said, "Do you know about the Red Continent? It is a ring-shaped continent that intersects with the Grand Route. The Red Continent and the Grand Route are two rings respectively. So there are two intersections, and one of those intersections is Upside Down Mountain."

The other is the Holy Land of Marie Gioia, a disgusting place.

"The Red Continent and the Grand Line jointly divide the sea area into four parts, namely the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the West Sea and the North Sea. No matter who comes from the four sea areas, as long as they want to enter the Grand Line, they must pass through the Red Earth Continent for the first time. , and we need to ride the current of Upside Down Mountain, which is the one we are about to reach."

"So we are not going to hit the mountain, but we are going to ride the upward current and officially enter the Grand Line." Lesiya finished a long list of explanations without breathing, and looked at the five people in front of her who were listening humbly like ignorant babies. , sighed almost inaudibly.

"understood?"

"understood!"

"It's so complicated! Hong-Na-I don't understand!"

"Don't drag out my name for so long!" Lysia reached out and rubbed Luffy's furry head, then put the straw hat on him.

Generally speaking, whenever Luffy wants to act coquettishly or makes unreasonable demands or feels extremely dissatisfied, he will call himself in a long tone.

Lysia said helplessly: "You seem to know very little about this 'world'. Do you want me to tell you more?"

"want--!"

Lysia glanced outside and shrugged with some regret, "We are almost to the place where the rain clouds gather. In front of us is Upside Down Mountain. Let's talk about it next time. We still need to take measures first, and we need to find some Wherever you can hold on, don't be thrown off the ship."

"Hong-na-you are so appetizing!"

"I told you not to call me that, Luffy."

"Red - Na -" Luffy still called Lesiya in a long voice, using the same coquettish trick that he had not used for ten years.

"No, although Upside Down Mountain is the first step to enter the Grand Line, it still has a certain degree of danger. We will talk about the story later after we can enter the Grand Line." Lysia looked at the four people with different hair colors sitting around the table. Different older children asked: "How are you, kids?"

"Okay, then hurry up and go to this 'Incredible Mountain'!"

"Nami, be careful and pay attention to the direction of the current. If you fail, you will hit the Red Earth Continent, and the ship will be shattered into pieces." Lysia pointed at Usopp who had been struggling to steer the helm and said, "By the way, Usopp It has been howling for a long time, so it must have encountered a strong current."

"That's right! Is Xiaona the only one who noticed?!"

"No, it's because you were so annoying that we didn't even pay attention to you."

"It's too much!"

Lysia chuckled lightly, urging everyone to move, and then looked at a corner to the right and her eyes darkened.

Reef the sails and steer.

The swirling torrent was raging, the splash of dark sea water hitting the rocks was indistinguishable from the rain falling from the sky, and the Meili looked incomparably small in front of the towering Upside Down Mountain.

Shake, bump.

In the middle of the huge cracks in the rocks of Upside Down Mountain, a rapid river was flowing upward in an unimaginable shape. Lesiya suddenly felt that Luffy's name was quite consistent with the nature of Upside Down Mountain - incredible.

But such a place is indeed not a rare thing in the Grand Line and the New World. After all, there are countless monsters there. Perhaps for Luffy, the Grand Line is an incredible sea area.

Several water gates were built at the entrance of the river. The water gates were engraved with unique patterns. The constantly surging seawater crowded upstream. On the Merry, which was gradually approaching, Luffy looked particularly happy.

"So happy, idiot." Lysia held her chin up and looked at Luffy's smiling face.

"Of course, because this is an adventure with Hongna." Luffy said with a big smile, "The adventures with my friends will not stop, but Hongna - you can be my crew member!"

"What's the connection between your two sentences?"

Lesiya was once again impressed by Luffy's brilliant thinking. She raised her hand and knocked Luffy on the head, "Idiot."

Lysia may understand what he means. First of all, it's because Luffy likes adventure, so he will be very excited when he encounters exciting things; secondly, because he and she take risks together again after a long absence, so he is very happy; and finally, This is an adventure with friends.

All in all, Luffy is very happy.

Lysia was also very happy. Although she had done it countless times by climbing the Upside Down Mountain, and the risk factor was less than one percent compared to the Grand Line and the vicious pirates in the new century, but because She did it with Luffy, so she was happy.

Lysia was glad that she had arrived. The first step into the Grand Line was quite memorable, and she did not miss it after all.

but……

Lysia walked to the bedroom door with steps, held her breath and walked in. There were no lights in the dim room. Lesiya accurately walked to a certain place and stopped. A pair of red eyes were shining eerily in the darkness——

The leg muscles contracted sharply, and the compressed air brought about a gust of foot wind that swept the "vacuum" attack, and an arc like the light of a sword was drawn in the air.

"Lan feet."

"Ugh..."

With a muffled grunt, Eric was kicked over by the sudden attack. Lysia used a lot of force in this kick, and Eric couldn't get up after being hit in the head. With the faint light coming in from outside the door, he could clearly see the appearance of the girl in front of him.

And that red like blood.

"You...you...you are...from the...Navy..." Eric was shocked speechless by the huge pressure. His pupils shrank suddenly and his breathing was disordered, "Lei...uh——"

Kicking up again, Lysea looked at Eric who had passed out and sighed, "Luffy is an idiot, even a mouse sneaks in and doesn't even know it."

Picking up Eric's back collar in disgust, Lesiya dragged him to the side of the boat and kicked him off. The sound of heavy objects falling into the water was drowned in the sound of the rapids. Lesiya glanced at Eric, who could no longer be found, clapped her hands, hummed a tune and walked away.

The hull passed through the thick swirling clouds and led straight to the blue sky. The water splashed around the corner, small water droplets splashed up, and seemed to shine with dazzling silver light under the refraction of the sun.

Looking back at the reverse rapids climbing all the way uphill, Nami couldn't help but sigh: "It's so spectacular!"

"It's so interesting, it's like riding on a slide! You still ride the slide backwards!"

After jumping around the corner, the river began to flow downward again. The red rocks on both sides were neatly staggered as if they were man-made. At the end of the long and narrow channel, under the boundless sea of ​​clouds, was the waters of the Great Line.

Ah, speaking of...

Lysia's pupils shrank, "Ah, I forgot! Rab!"

"There's a mountain ahead——!"

-

Lysia sighed silently as she looked up at Luffy and two other unknown people flying out of the pipe opening above.

"Let me save him." Anyway, I have been used to this kind of thing since I was a child.

Lysia waved her hand and jumped down. In the sea of ​​green stomach acid, she found Luffy's figure and fished out the two of them together.

Lysia looked at Kurokas on the ladder and waved to him.

"Oh, it's Xiaoya."

"Uncle Kuro, they are my partners."

"The two people we just rescued are not good people. They are whalers."

"Is the target Rab?" Lesiya glanced at the two people who were still unconscious strangely, then stepped forward and slashed one of them on the back of the neck. "Then let's faint for a while longer."

"Xiao Na, do you know this Uncle Hua?" Nami asked.

"Well, after all, I've been here several times, and Rab is still so energetic!" Lesiya sighed.

"Rabu's physical condition cannot be tolerated anymore." Kurokas sighed and got off the ladder.

Lesia found some ropes to tie up the two unknown people who fainted, and then went to the ship island where Kurokas was with everyone.

Lysia went to change into the clothes prepared by Kurokas. When she came out, everyone had already decided to leave. Lysia followed and patted Luffy on the shoulder.

"Luffy, there must be a way to make him stop with your words."

"what?"

"Rabu is a great partner. The reason why he keeps bumping into the back of the red earth is a story that will make even a man cry."

"Ah, yes, I want to know. Hong Na - tell me!"

"Isn't that what I was going to tell you, idiot." Lysia looked at the scarred Mellie that was slowly sailing out of the whale, and stretched out her hand to stroke the white railing.

The soft sea breeze rolled up Lysia's broken hair on her temples. She looked back at Rab's huge body and raised the corner of her mouth with a small arc, "Rabu was a member of the Lumba Pirates. Fifty years ago... "
