Pirate's Day

About another hour later, Kurokas and Nami finally finished teaching all the experiences they could impart. After answering questions and resolving doubts, the teaching officially ended.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yao stopped wasting time and ordered preparations to start again and officially start the journey of the Great Line.

"Boy, can you tell me why you chose Whiskey Mountain?"

"The name of this mountain seems more pleasing to the eye."

"But this is the only place where you can choose routes. Are you really not going to listen to my introduction to these seven routes before making a decision?"

"If we had to think carefully before making a decision, we wouldn't be pirates."

"Haha, that's right~"

"Then let's take Rab away~"

"Well, it's paramagnetic all the way~"

"what?"

"The wind direction of the Grand Line is unpredictable, but the magnetic force is very reliable, so when you say goodbye here, you will say that it is a smooth journey, rather than a smooth journey."

"Souga~ Goodbye then, Mr. Kurokas~"

"goodbye!"

After saying goodbye, Kurokas watched the Deer Flanders leave. Looking at Rab's huge island-like figure that kept going away, his mind couldn't help but recall the cute appearance of the little one decades ago, and his eyes were filled with tears. Unknowingly, it gradually became moist.

……

Not long after the Deer Flanders arrived, everyone experienced firsthand the "greatness" of the Grand Line:

First, the beautiful spring weather suddenly turned into cold winter, with heavy snow falling. After a while, the snow passed and the sky cleared, and the scorching sun shone brightly again, followed closely by lightning, thunder, and strong winds.

Then there is the current, sometimes moving forward, sometimes turning left, sometimes turning right, and sometimes going in the opposite direction. The amplitude of the change is sometimes large and sometimes small, and the speed of change is sometimes slow and sometimes rapid. If you are not careful, you may go off direction.

Then there is the wind direction. One moment, it is northeast, and the next moment it may become southwest. This moment, the tailwind is comfortable, and the next moment, the headwind will catch you off guard. It perfectly explains what it means to be willful.

Finally, there are reefs or icebergs, which always appear on your sailing route when the ship is least under control, eagerly looking forward to giving you a warm hug and causing your ship to crash and everyone to die.

If Nami's sailing skills were not good enough, coupled with Kurokas's good teaching, and Rab's help in exploring the way and pulling the boat, I am afraid that this section of the voyage to Whiskey Mountain would be enough to make everyone busy and exhausted. Half-dead, if the Deer Flanders remained intact, it would probably only be a luxury.

Without daring to relax, about two hours later, everyone finally arrived at Whiskey Mountain, which looked like a pile of giant cactus.

Leaving Labu on the island, everyone drove the boat along the river and sailed inland.

Sanji looked around: "This island looks really weird."

Usopp huddled behind the side of the ship and looked around: "Are there any monsters inside?"

Zoro raised his head and said, "You'll know if you go up and take a look."

Usopp rushed over: "Idiot! What if you encounter a monster?"

Zoro drew his sword with determination: "Cut it!"

Usopp covered his chest and took a few steps back: "No, I suddenly got the 'disease that prevents me from going to the island'..."

Nami glanced at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Yao:

"We have to stay here for a while to fill up the 'record' of the record pointer and go to the next island. If we don't go to the island, the record storage time will be much longer. If we go to the island, the record storage time will be much faster. It ranges from multiple times to dozens of times.”

After saying this, he just looked at Yao without saying anything, obviously waiting for Yao, the captain, to make a decision.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, just log in."

Yao smiled faintly and set the tone. Seeing how calm he was, Usopp suddenly couldn't help but think that not long ago, a ship of people escaped from the pursuit of the naval hero Garp, who even One Piece was forced into desperate situations several times. No matter how powerful he was, Can a monster compare to a naval hero?

After thinking about this, he immediately raised his chest and raised his head, putting on a majestic and high-spirited look:

"Yes, so what if there are monsters? Sea warriors are fearless!"

Then, he sang the sniper song he wrote, composed and composed with great energy:

"I was born on the island of snipers, and I am always on target, all right, all right, all right..."

While singing, he took firm steps forward, as if he was a sniper king returning in triumph.

Several people had long been accustomed to his posture, and they all just smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the boat sailed deep along the inland river. Through the thick fog, the five of them could faintly see the crowds of people on the coast. If they drove closer, they could see clearly. The crowds were few and far between. There were seventy or eighty people, including men, women and children. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a musician's uniform, holding a saxophone, and with strange curly hair.

Seeing the Deer Flanders approaching the coast, the people around the coast, regardless of men, women, old and young, all shouted excitedly:

“Welcome to ‘Welcome Town’ Whiskey Hill!”

"Long live the warriors of the sea!"

Everyone was enthusiastic, not only spoke nicely, but there were also many cute-looking girls with adoring faces mixed in. Usopp and Sanji fell almost instantly.

Usopp jumped onto the side of the ship, waved vigorously to everyone and responded loudly:

"Hello everyone, I am Captain Usopp, the brave sea warrior!"

Sanji's eyes suddenly turned into peach blossoms. He looked at this and that, dancing excitedly:

"Wow, so many cute girls are cheering for me. I'm so happy. I feel like I'm in heaven..."

Not long after, the Deer Flanders officially docked. After several people disembarked one after another, a middle-aged man with curly hair immediately came forward, cleared his throat habitually, and introduced himself:

"M-mama...welcome everyone! My name is Ikarem, and I am the mayor of Whiskey Mountain.

"Whiskey Mountain is a town that is very developed in brewing and music. Hospitality is our tradition. You must be pirates who have just come to the Grand Line from all over the world, right? It is really amazing that you can cross that Upside Down Mountain!

“Tonight, we will hold a welcome banquet to welcome you all. With plenty of wine and food, wonderful music, and your wonderful sailing stories, tonight will definitely be another unforgettable night!

"I wonder what you guys think?"

Before Yao had time to speak, Usopp and Sanji were already holding each other's arms, one with a look of hay, the other with a look of nymphomaniac, jumping happily and shouting in unison:

"Will! Will! Will!"

When Nami and Zoro saw this, one had his hands on his waist, the other had his hands crossed, and they frowned at the same time:

"Two idiots!"

Yao stood in front of Ikarem, glanced at the girl with a blue ponytail standing behind him, raised the corner of his mouth, and nodded happily:

"Then bother you~"

Hearing Yao's agreement, Usopp and Sanji couldn't help but become even more excited. Surrounded by the crowd, they took the lead in walking towards the tavern in the center of the town.

Neither Zoro nor Nami expected Yao to agree so simply. Although they were a little confused, they did not choose to bring it up on the spot. Instead, they made a decision in unison:

Wait and see what happens!

"Great, everyone is ready to have a banquet. Let's play the Adventurer's Song~"
