Rain

I don't know how to describe Sanji's wonderful expression at that moment, it's colorful and beautiful.

It's been a long time since I've done something like this to enjoy seeing other people's faces change...

The suppressed mood during this period of time was instantly relaxed, and I laughed wantonly without restraint.I laughed and stood up, regardless of Sanji who was still sitting on the sofa with a messy face, I pushed the door and walked out.

Just let him be alone for a while, huh?

The cold sea breeze outside the cabin was accompanied by rainwater, which immediately wetted his head and face.I squinted my eyes, before I could see our current situation clearly, a deep voice came from beside me: "Are you all right?"

Turning his head in some surprise, he saw the sword hero with short green hair standing aside, his broad back leaning against the cabin wall, his hands on his chest, his mouth pursed, his eyes sharp.I was dumbfounded, could he have been standing here just now?

"It's okay." I raised my right arm covered with snow-white bandages at him, and smiled, "Sanji is well bandaged."

When he heard Sanji's name, the corner of his mouth twitched, and just happened to be bumped into by Sanji who was walking out of the cabin, suffocating a burst of anger, and he was immediately furious: "Huh? Do you have any opinions on my bandaging!"

"You Lovecook, do you want to have a fight!" Zoro seems to have a deep prejudice against Sanji, and there is a vague sign that the verbal fight has risen to a physical conflict...

I touched my nose, it's not that friends don't get together, it's fate...

Suddenly, Na Mei's voice full of surprise and excitement came from the bow of the ship: "Look at that light!"

The two people who were still arguing at first glanced at each other, snorted at the same time, turned their heads and walked away.

I complained silently... It's a tacit understanding.

Coming to the bow of the ship against the wind and rain, I saw Nami standing in the wind and rain wearing a light-colored raincoat, with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth, pointing forward: "The front of that light is the entrance of the great channel."

The end of the dark sky was lit by an orange flame, turning round and round, pointing out the direction and illuminating the road.

Twin Strait Lighthouse, the entrance to the Great Channel.

She turned her head, her eyes were bright, and there was a wind-like joy in her brows: "How is it?"

To re-enter, that great, unfathomable ocean.

I can hear the dull beating of my heart in my chest, thump, thump, and gradually speed up.The joyful emotions he had just acquired were diluted a bit, and the heavy reality was pressed tightly again.

It took Usopp half a beat to react, his face changed suddenly, and his legs began to tremble: "You didn't want us to be in such a storm... right!" I gave him a sideways glance, and decided not to say anything kindly.Well, when you see the storm in the great channel, you will probably cry and beg to come back...

Sanji didn't know when he pulled out a large wine barrel from the cabin, and stood beside him in a leisurely posture, with a clean smile on his face, as if he was a little excited: "Okay! Then let's do it once, in the great channel It’s a launching ceremony for sailing on the waters!”

Usopp frowned instantly, shaking even more while holding the railing: "Hey!" I said, is it really okay to enter the great channel like this...

Sanji was the first to put his foot on the wine barrel, the cigarette butt by his mouth was already wet by the rain, his blond hair was fluttering in the wind and he looked a bit embarrassed, but with a confident and serious smile on his face, he was full of vigor: "I want to find AllBlue !"

Luffy walked over, grinning wide, showing his neat and white teeth, and put his feet in straw sandals on them, with a serious expression on his face, and a loud voice: "I want to be the One Piece!"

Zoro put his thick boots on his feet, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was wild and ambitious: "I want to be a great swordsman!"

Nami put her feet wearing high-heeled sandals on, and the smile on her lips deepened: "I am here to draw a world map!"

Usopp put his foot on it in a bit of panic, with a hesitant expression on his face, stammering nervously, but also full of air: "I...I...I want to be a brave sea warrior!"

Luffy turned to look at me, grinning wider, urging: "Rain, hurry up!"

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, pointed at myself with one finger, and opened my mouth slightly, can I do it too?

Sanji smiled and nodded, Zoro looked indifferent, Nami smiled brightly, and Usopp almost cried: "Quick, quick, quick! I can't stand anymore!"

I accidentally put my ankle boots on them, and the heels made a muffled sound as they landed on the barrel.I opened my mouth, paused, and looked at them, not knowing what to say.Their eyes are full of hope, their faces have refreshing and tolerant smiles, and they are also full of sunshine in the storm.

Even though it was such a comforting scene, my heart sank.They are full of hope for the future and smile.

Wally never smiled like that.

He will never smile again.

Because he died.

I killed him.

I smiled and said it very clearly: "I am for my companion."

We lifted our feet, and then slammed down heavily, with the same voice: "Let's go! The great channel!"

The kitchen was dry and warm. Nami, who was still wearing a raincoat to keep out the cold, stood imposingly at one end of the table, and slapped the map on the table with a serious face: "This is consistent with the rumors. The entrance to the Great Channel is a mountain!"

Sanji stood at the other end, leaning against the kitchen counter to smoke without speaking.

Zoro sat at the dining table, covering his head with one hand, as if he had a headache.

Luffy looked ignorant, completely unaware of how serious the situation was.

And Usopp opened his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief, and finally gave a response: "Mountain?!"

I sat opposite Zoro, looked at Nami with my chin in my hand, and nodded to confirm: "It's a mountain."

It seems that not long ago, the Spade Pirates, who were not yet famous, crossed the Upside Down Mountain and entered the Great Channel.

It was a clear warm sunny day.

"Yes. You look at the nautical map. Although I have been thinking about how this is possible, the place where the navigation light is directed is the Inverted Mountain of the Red Earth Continent." Nami pointed to the cross symbol on the map with a solemn face, and her white fingertips Paddle up, "Here's a canal."

"This, how is this possible!" Usopp frowned and questioned again, "Even if there is a canal, how can the boat climb the mountain?"

"It's the canal going up." I looked at Nami, agreed with what she said, and repeated what Eric had explained to me, "Red

The earth continent separates the great waterway from the four seas, and the currents of the four seas will gather together when they encounter the inverted mountain, and collide with each other due to the narrow corridor, forming the so-called upward current.As long as we follow the current to reach the top of the Upside Down Mountain, then we can enter the great channel smoothly. "It seems to have rebelled against the natural weather, but it is extremely logical.

"So that's the case." Nami nodded with an expression of enlightenment on her face, "It's about the same as I guessed. It's just Sloth, how do you know? Our nautical chart is still in the hands of the clown Bucky You snatched it over... don't you... you also said that your companion..."

"That's right." I said on my forehead that her guess was right, and I admitted it openly, with a slight smile, "I once entered the great channel."

The first to express amazement was Luffy, with a loud voice and eyes full of admiration: "You have been to GrandLine! How is it there!"

I looked at the radiant Lu Fei and suddenly burst into laughter, as if I saw Ace who was excited at the beginning, with gentle eyes and a clear voice: "It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the greatest ocean in the world."

"Oh, really?" Lu Fei's eyes lit up, he grinned, grinning, his eyes serious, "I really want to go more and more!"

"Why do we have to make a special trip to the entrance?" Zhuo Luo, who leaned over to look at the map, curled his lips with an indifferent face, "Isn't it just going to the south to enter the great waterway?"

You road idiot can actually correctly distinguish the east, west, north and south on the map!

I was horrified by this discovery, and turned my head to look at Roronoa with the eyes of a rare animal, and my amazement cannot be described in words.

Zhuo Luo was once again frightened by my eyes, and almost exploded, his voice was dry: "What are you doing?"

I came back to my senses, with a helpless smile in my eyes, and dutifully explained: "No. There are windless belts at both ends of the great channel, that is, there is no wind.

Windy seas are a nightmare for small wind-powered sailboats like ours.The scariest thing is..."

My explanation was interrupted by Usopp who accidentally looked out the window in amazement: "Huh? Is it sunny?"

Oops, I didn't pay attention!

Nami and I looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.She quickly rushed out of the cabin, looked around in a panic, muttered to herself, and her face turned pale: "There is no wind... There is really no wind... Oops, we have entered the windless zone!"

She reacted quickly, and quickly turned around and ordered: "Don't chat! Hurry up and put up the sails! Use the oars! Row out for me too!"

When I came to the deck, I quietly grabbed the mast with one hand, and covered my face with the other hand, it was too late, Nami...

Luffy looked puzzled, unaware of the danger that was close at hand, and didn't move: "Why?"

Letting go of my hand from my face, I caught Zoro looking at me, waiting for an explanation.I sighed: "This is the lair of sea kings..." Before I finished speaking, there was a huge vibration from the bottom of my feet, which almost made them lose their balance.

The next moment, with the sound of the huge rushing water pouring down, we were far away from the sea, looking down on everything.

The Golden Meili just landed on top of a huge colorful Neptune.As far as the eyes can see, there are all giant sea kings with dumbfounded expressions.

The author has something to say:

I don't understand, it's just an entry, why is it getting longer and longer...(cover face)

You don’t understand me in the past, this is the so-called pre-play~

Finally said the reason... the cryptic foreshadowing is driving me crazy (scratching head)... I'm really not good at it...
