Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Everyone, pay attention. We will soon reach Upside Down Mountain."

Amidst a heavy rain and thick fog, the Merry was sailing through the waves.

Nami looked at the sea chart in her hand and shouted to everyone.

“It’s finally here!!!”

Luffy seemed the most excited.

"Yeah, but that's what happened just by being near the Grand Line."

Sanji looked up and couldn't help but sigh:

"I really don't know what else will happen in the Grand Line."

"It must have been quite an adventure, wasn't it?"

Bai Ye came to his side and said with an expectant look.

After leaving Rogue Town, everyone headed towards Upside-Down Mountain.

During this period, in order to avoid the navy's encirclement, everyone had to deviate from their course and use a hurricane to get rid of the warship.

At this time, Nami showed her ability to sense the weather for the first time.

Bai Ye also confirmed that Nami at least had the talent to awaken her observation Haki.

However, he had no time to train at this moment, because while getting rid of the warship, the Merry accidentally entered the calm zone.

After Nami’s popular science explanation, everyone also saw for the first time the behemoths of this world - the sea kings.

Faced with such existence, even Luffy and Sanji had no intention of cooking them.

Finally, by using Bai Ye's water and wind magic together, the Merry quickly escaped from the doldrums.

This is how he met Abis, who had just escaped from a naval ship, and began the original chapter of the animation, the Millennium Dragon Incident.

After Luffy saw the dying Millennium Dragon, Lord Long, he readily chose to help it find the Lost Land.

Here, Luffy also showed for the first time his ability to understand animal sounds.

As for the Straw Hat Pirates, their strength is incomparable to that of the original.

It was naturally more relaxed and comfortable when dealing with the villains of this incident, Admiral Nelson and Eric, the user of the sickle fruit.

Bai Ye even reported to Brian that the navy here was arresting civilians indiscriminately.

This made Brian unable to help but vent his anger on Den Den Mushi.

But he still said that he would report the matter.

Finally, everyone came to the Lost Island that would surface every thousand years, or the beginning and end of the Millennium Dragon.

Every thousand years, the Millennium Dragons would migrate here from afar, and they would see off the Millennium Dragons that were about to die.

New life of the tribe will also be welcomed here.

As for the dragon bones that are said to make people immortal, they are actually stone statues of the many thousand-year-old dragons on the island.

Bai Ye, who had background in alchemy, was very disappointed. These dragon bones did not seem to have the effect of prolonging life.

It even tastes a bit salty because it has been soaked in sea water for too long.

Then, after saying goodbye to Abis and everyone on Gunkanjima, everyone set off again on the Merry.

Back on course to Upside Down Mountain.

Upside-Down Mountain is an incredible and dangerous mountain, and it is also the entrance to the Grand Line.

There are five waterways on Upside Down Mountain, which are X-shaped, with water flowing in four and out one.

Water from four of these waterways flows to the top of the mountain.

These four rivers connect the East China Sea, West China Sea, South China Sea and North China Sea respectively.

The last waterway flows into the Grand Route.

"It's just like what Bai Ye said!"

Usopp stood on the observation deck, looking at the scene through the telescope, and couldn't help but feel a little tingling.

"The Upside-Down Mountain is not just ordinary high, it has reached an astonishing level."

Just in front of everyone, through the thick fog, a towering wall that reached into the clouds, with its top completely invisible, was emitting an incomparable sense of oppression.

A moment later, the Merry arrived at the entrance of the upwelling current.

Looking at the water flowing upstream, Luffy's whole mouth opened wide with excitement and he laughed loudly:

“This is so funny hahaha!”

Then he jumped onto his own exclusive throne, held down his straw hat with one hand, and waved the other hand high up in front of him:

"let's go!!!"

Bang! ! !

The next second, Luffy was kicked off the bow of the goat ship by the furious Nami:

"You don't need to say such things. Go and help. Hey, can't you see that everyone is busy right now?"

"Even if you're the captain, play your part, you bastard."

As if she was still not satisfied, Nami punched Luffy on the head again, leaving a big bump.

Bai Ye's eyelids jumped when he saw this: Could it be that Nami has awakened the Armament Haki?

While thinking, Bai Ye did not stop the work in his hands.

As for the 007 paper man who had been on the ship as a tool, he had already been taken away by Bai Ye.

It’s not that they are afraid of the rain, but if they let these paper people stay on the deck, they will be blown away by the wind in a minute.

This also gave Bai Ye the idea of ​​further strengthening them.

After all, no matter how you put it, before Franky installed the soldier dock system, it was really too much to rely on a few people to operate the current Merry.

With this in mind, the Merry, thanks to everyone's efforts, successfully entered the channel of the rising current.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the end of the upwelling current.

Swish! ! !

The next second, the Merry rushed into the sky with the momentum of swimming upstream, even piercing through the clouds.

Then, the ship began to slowly fall.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should fall into the ocean current that brings together the four seas of east, west, south, and north and leads to the great route.

But soon, everyone discovered something was wrong.

"Hey, hey, hey, if this continues, the ship will land on the red soil continent!"

Nami exclaimed.

"give it to me!"

Luffy pressed his straw hat and jumped off the Merry.

This scared everyone.

"Hey, Luffy!" Zoro yelled.

"Idiot? What are you doing?" Sanji was also terrified.

then--

[Rubber rubber——Balloon!!!]

Luffy, who was about to land on the red soil continent, suddenly inhaled a large amount of air, turning his body into a round balloon.

Then, the Merry landed on Luffy, and with the help of the elastic force generated by Luffy's rubber balloon, it finally returned to its course.

Luffy also stretched out his arms and returned to the Merry.

After experiencing all these twists and turns, everyone was filled with emotion as they looked at the great route that was about to appear before them.

Sanji: "ALLBLUE is right there."

Nami: "Starting from here, I will draw a map of my world."

Usopp: "Father, he is just ahead. Then, after becoming a great sea warrior, go meet him."

Zoro: "Hawkeye Mihawk, I won't keep you waiting for too long."

Bai Ye: "Let's start from here and begin our legendary adventure."

-

Luffy: "Hahahaha, Grand Line! Here we come!!!"

"One Piece, I'm determined!!!"

Ps:

The first volume [Set Sail] is finished.

That’s all for today’s update.

Let’s chat with you guys next.

This part of the plot has about 14 words, which to be honest was a bit beyond my expectations.

After all, this part of the original work only took up 61 episodes.

When I first started thinking about it, I just planned to collect partners one by one according to the rhythm of the original work.

But I didn't expect that I would add a lot of things as I wrote.

So far, I am quite satisfied.

Next comes the second volume of this book [Becoming Famous].

Thank you for your support, please stay tuned.
