Pirate: Forging iron makes you stronger

The rain borrows the force of the wind, and the wind borrows the force of the rain.

Heavy rain and strong winds kept blowing toward the northwest. At this time, the Meili was like a fallen leaf falling into the sea, being pushed rapidly toward the northwest by the wind and rain.

"The wind is so strong that the boat is about to capsize."

On the Mellie, Luffy and his friends stood on the deck in the rain, shouting excitedly.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Chen Xing could already see the lighthouse on a huge high cliff in the distance. The light of the lighthouse falls on the sea in the west wind.

There, it is the intersection of Grand Line and Upside Down Mountain.

"What a big lighthouse. Is that a mountain?"

“Is that the Grand Line?”

At this time, Luffy and his party also discovered the lighthouse, and everyone exclaimed.

David took off his glasses, looked at the lighthouse with a smile, and said: "That is the guiding light. At the end of the light... is the entrance to the Grand Line!"

"That's the Grand Line..." After listening to David's explanation, Luffy showed a rare warm smile and looked at the lighthouse in trance.

"Will we see the big whales Laboon and Crocus?" Chen Xing thought to himself, if Laboon didn't go looking for food, he should have a chance to see it.

Even I have never seen the island whales living in the deep sea.

There is also Crocus who once became the ship's doctor on Roger's ship in order to find Brook. This good old man should be living in Laboon's belly.

"Okay! To celebrate that the ship is about to sail into that great ocean, let's have a launching ceremony!"

"ah?"

"OK!"

Just for a moment, Chen Xing, who was standing at the door of the restaurant, saw Luffy and five people gathered around a wooden barrel, with happy and excited smiles on their faces.

"To find ALLBLUE!" As the proposer, Sanji was the first to put his feet on the barrel and shouted with a smile.

"To become the world's best swordsman!"

"I want to become the Pirate King!"

"I want to travel across this ocean and write the most wonderful story!"

"I...I am..." Seeing his friends all telling their dreams, Usopp hesitated for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "To become a brave sea warrior!"

"Hey, let's go. To the Grand Line!!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Watching Luffy and the others tell their dreams one by one, Chen Xing felt a little strange. After all, it was the rise of a group of legends, but there was no turmoil in my heart. "I even wanted to get medical treatment."

"Why don't you say the nasty things?"

Let’s talk about something I hate and something I like, which is the proper self-introduction for admission to the Hokage Ninja School.

After taking a deep look at Luffy, Chen Xing turned around.

"The strongest and freest!"

"Hey, David! There's a big dark cloud ahead. Are you sure it's here?"

"You should have seen the Red Line. The route is exactly the same as on the chart."

The next day, the sailboat had sailed far away and was getting closer and closer to the Upside Down Mountain. Early in the morning, Luffy and others got up and gathered around the deck shouting.

The Grand Line is a holy place of pilgrimage for pirates from all over the world. It was inevitable that Luffy would be so excited. If you want to become the Pirate King, entering the Grand Line is the first step.

Chen Xing looked around and saw that a large dark cloud had appeared in the distant sea. The dark cloud was like a moat blocking the way ahead. The dark cloud reached straight into the sky and looked like a mountain of dark clouds blocking the sea.

Only Chen Xing knows that the Red Line is hidden in that huge dark cloud. When you get closer, you can see the huge Red Line that separates the entire sea.

“Is the Grand Line intersection on a hill?”

"impossible!"

"Here we go." Turning around and coming to the deck, Chen Xing could already feel the sea currents speeding up, and he could already see the huge Red Line in the distance.

"Usopp, it's so noisy! Really, just let me help."

For such a big mountain, you can't even see the top at a glance. There is actually a waterway in the middle, and the water in it even leads to the mountain. .

…please give me flowers…………

"It's really a current rising up the mountain... Luffy, Zoro, furl the sail!"

At this time, Navigator David slammed the table, raised his head, and said: "I know, we should climb up this stream! Then enter the Grand Line from another stream!"

"What? How is that possible?"

"The chart can't be wrong, it must have been stolen from Buggy!"

In the middle of the Red Line, there is an upwelling current flowing continuously. At this time, the Meili has slowly entered the sea area of ​​​​the rising sea current, and is being continuously attracted by the rising sea current.

In the hall, several dumbfounded men gathered around the table, looking at the chart in David's hand.

Seeing Sanji's surprised look, Usopp spoke. At this time, the rudder of the boat could not be stabilized by one person because the current was too strong.

The huge Red Line can be clearly seen on the chart, and there are five rivers on it. Leading to Four Seas and Grand Line respectively.

"Hey, who can help me steer the ship?"

"How can a ship go up the mountain?"

This chart was obtained from Buggy. Maybe this chart is fake.

"Come and help!"

It is impossible for people who go to the Grand Line for the first time to understand the meaning of this chart.

"Sanji! Usopp! Adjust the direction! We are going up this waterway!"

"What! Ocean current! I understand, we really need to climb a mountain!"

At this time, everyone who was looking at the sea chart and lost in thought noticed Usopp's shout. Sanji said helplessly and walked to Usopp to help him hold the rudder.

"Yes, you also feel that the current is getting stronger!"

This is Upside Down Mountain, and this is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s quite spectacular!

"clever.

Bang.

That's what they all thought... But in the Grand Line, common sense is completely useless.

After seeing the Red Line, the three Luffy people standing on the deck were shocked.

Suddenly, David exclaimed and ran towards the deck. Luffy and Zoro saw this and followed him.

It is common sense that water flows downwards, and it is impossible for ships to go upstream.

As expected of a navigator, he guessed the correct answer right away. They were really lucky to get such a detailed map from Buggy.

Only Chen Xing glanced at David appreciatively.

"This is..."

They couldn't guess at all. Buggy's chart is indeed correct. As someone who once followed Roger to conquer the Grand Line, not to mention the chart, even Raftel Buggy knows where he is.

After hearing David's words, everyone was stunned and waved their hands to express that it was impossible.

"The entrance is on the mountain? How interesting." Facing the confused friends, only Luffy shouted with interest.
