Pirate's Day

Yao and his party drove the boat to the lighthouse at Twin Capes. After landing, Sanji quickly made a hearty and delicious meal using the fresh ingredients he bought in Rogue Town, while Kurokas was busy applying medicine to Labu. , bandaging the wound, Usopp and Yao also helped.

After the wound was treated, Sanji's lunch was also prepared. After everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and took a short rest, Nami moved a small bench and sat in front of Kurokas with a pen and notebook. Played the role of a good student.

“The reason why the Grand Line is called the Pirate Graveyard is because the most powerful pirates and naval forces from all over the world gather here. As a result, you may encounter unexpected fierce battles every day, and even continuous battles. The fighting makes people overwhelmed and exhausted. On the other hand, and the more important aspect is that there is great uncertainty in the Grand Route itself.

"First of all, the magnetic field is completely chaotic and the compass is completely out of order. Then the ocean currents, wind direction, weather, seasons...the deeper you go, the more rapidly changing and unpredictable it is.

"It can be said that all the common sense of sailing in the four seas will lose its effect here. No matter how superb the navigation technology is, in this sea area, one must not take it lightly for a minute, otherwise one mistake may destroy the entire The ship is brought into an impossible situation!

"I have seen too many pirates come here from all over the world. It is because they greatly underestimated the difficulty of the Grand Line itself. Not long after leaving the Twin Capes, they ran back in a state of pee, crying and shouting that they wanted to go home.

"It's a pity that the Upside Down Mountain cannot travel backwards. Most of them, after experiencing extreme despair, can only choose to take risks and plunge into the windless zone full of super-large sea kings, trying to cross back through the past by luck. To the world.

“But in the end, they were basically buried in the windless zone, and only a few lucky ones could escape.

"Since you are that boy's navigator, you must have good sailing skills. I am not telling you this to scare you, but to draw enough attention to you to avoid falling into the misunderstanding of empiricism, otherwise you will definitely die miserably."

Before the official opening, Kurokas gave Nami a shot of vaccination with a very serious look. Seeing Nami taking notes seriously and nodding her head, he smiled with satisfaction and took out one from his pocket. Record the pointer and get to the point.

"This is the record pointer. Although it looks ordinary on the surface, it embodies the wisdom of several generations. It is precisely because of its invention that it is possible to conquer the Grand Route, because it is the only one that can be used in the Grand Route. A tool to guide you in the right direction!

"As a navigator, you should know that the most terrifying thing on the sea is losing your way, so you must carefully remember how to use the pointer and the precautions for keeping the pointer.

"In addition, more than twenty years ago, due to chance, I also went to sea to find out the whereabouts of the Lombard Pirates. I sailed on the Grand Line for several years and accumulated some experience.

"Although time has passed and some experiences may be outdated, they will have some reference value for your future voyages. I will also tell you about them later. How much you can digest depends on your ability."

……

Kurokas usually looks like a boring gourd and doesn't seem to talk much, but when he really opens up his chat box, he can talk non-stop for most of the day. Not only does he speak very fast, but he is also full of useful information, which makes Nami While it was an eye-opener, the more I listened, the more engrossed I became. I took notes at an unparalleled speed. In order to save time, I even used various symbols or graphics to replace words from time to time.

This continued for about half an hour, and Kurokas finally came to an end. He saw that Nami's notebook was full of drawings, and the text was as simple as possible, and even narrowed down, so that he could not see the ugly figure at all. He couldn't help but suspect that Nami was pursuing speed too much and giving up on quality, so she asked Nami to repeat to him what he had said before.

"The recording pointer has excellent waterproof and shockproof properties, but it is not fireproof and cannot withstand severe blows. The key point is that it cannot be in close contact with objects that are too magnetic for a long time, otherwise it will fail.

"The recording pointer guides the direction by fully absorbing the magnetic force emitted by the island and attracting the next island, so that the pointer can stably point in the direction of the next island. The process of storing magnetic force is also called 'recording' and requires It takes a certain amount of time, anywhere from a few minutes to a few years, depending on the situation.”

"This upside-down mountain is the starting point of all magnetic forces, and it is also the only place that can emit seven kinds of magnetic forces. Different magnetic forces point to different islands. One of the magnetic forces can be saved with a recording pointer. Once decided, a route will be determined. This route will not change again until the next time we see the red continent.

"But this is not absolute, because there is a special pointer in the record pointer, called the 'permanent pointer'. As the name suggests, it will always point to a fixed island and will no longer be affected by new magnetic forces. So rely on the permanent pointer , it is possible to forcibly change the driving target midway, thereby changing the navigation route.”

……

When Nami opened her mouth to speak, not only was her speech not slow, but her thoughts were even clearer than him. Kurokas couldn't help but froze in place. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly understood that Nami's notes, although It may seem messy to others, but she can interpret it very clearly. In other words, Nami has completely established her own system of recording navigational knowledge, and she is completely familiar with this system!

Realizing this, Kurokas immediately came to a conclusion:

Although Nami looks young, she really has a lot of sailing experience. Not only is she rich in experience, she is also very knowledgeable. The most valuable thing is that she obviously loves sailing and is willing to work hard and use her brain for it.

"stop!"

After recognizing this reality, it was obviously unnecessary to continue testing Nami's subsequent knowledge. Kurokas immediately interrupted Nami's eloquence, and then, under Nami's reminder, followed what he had said before content, continue to talk.

……

In this way, after talking for more than an hour, Kurokas had just come to an end for the second time. He saw that Nami had memorized almost half of the booklet, but she was still staring at him, maintaining her eagerness for knowledge. His appearance did not reveal the slightest trace of fatigue. He couldn't help but glance at Yao, who was working hard with Zoro and Sanji to give Rabu a full body massage, and sighed in his heart:

"I really don't know where that boy found this little girl. She is so lucky..."

Yao sensed the gaze of Kurokas, raised his head and smiled at him. After a pause, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Upside Down Mountain, thoughtfully:

"Navy warships can obviously cross the windless zone, but at this time, that bad old man has not chased me. It can be seen that his goal in the East China Sea this time is not me..."

Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and an old figure could not help but appear in his mind. Deep in his heart, an ominous premonition emerged uncontrollably and lingered.
