With the ship reaching the egde of the fall, the only way to go now, is forward, so by the strong undercurrent serge, the ship incline until it fell with the harsh flow of water. The ship dropped at terrible speed and Joshua and the others who were on the ship were no longer there, they were now in the air falling as well.
Their attire blew wildly as they burst through the rough, unharmonious winds, the ship that was going down head way, shoots through the air unfearingly as light ripples of winds were wrapped around its body. Down everyone went, with the heavy downpour water along the the falls.
Even though they have already fell pass 50m, the bottom could still not be seen however, everyone still had a calm expression.
Guzen fell with both his legs and hands widely open in a laid back position...
Laffitte decended from the sky with one hand holding his hat and cane....
Joshua went down with an indifferent expression....
The ship fell, not realizing it can be destroyed.
Image here.
Noone had any fear or panicked expression, even though a falls being behind the ice rock was never thought of, it did not mean it could kill them. If they wanting they did not have to follow with this, because they could use their skills to either stand, fly or levitate in the sky. So there was no immediate threat of life, but if it were some other persons who went through the same procees as they are going through now, they might not neccesarily live, elsewise from other occasions.
However, if it were certain devil fruit users or just some guy who just swings a sword don't think about ever surviving such great falls.
"Hahaha...." Guzen laughed as his hair blows in a very disordered manner. He swirls around in the air, swims in the sky and many other feats without the slighest care of whats transpiring. Laffitte who saw this just shook his head, then directed his gaze to somewhere else , they have already approached an 70m mark and a glimpse of the bottom as come into view.
Their situation might be good but the ship's situation is otherwise, even is they do make it down who knows if an island will be close where they can just sail through the air in time to make it . Cause just be the falling of the ship and the distance they fell from, the damage the ship might take will not be light an for them who has just entered the grandline, the ship must maintain peak performance.
For one will never know what can happen can happened in these unpredictable waters because of one mishap. Therefore, everything should be taken into account when sailing through the grandline, even in the new world also.
"The captain should have already noticed this," Laffitte light turned his smiling face to the black cloaked figure.
Even though, everyone is free falling without any contact to each other, they all saw they problem they had at the moment.
80m..
90m..
100..
Now.
With the flat surface water now in view, its time to act, Joshua eyes flashed as they waved his hands in the air and huge gust of wind rush out from the lot and came to his command. One should understand, he might not turn into the giant serpent it doesn't mean he can't use some of the powers s he did before.
The huge amounts of winds moved in a wavy way to the ship and came directly to the bottom of it. With the force it carried, it uplifting the front area of the ship now putting it in a balance format.
Roar...
The ship which was about few metres from coming in contact where the falls fell into, a sea creature sprang up from it. A muddy colour serpentine beast jumped out the ocean with a wide open mouth, its many bulged eyea moved looked all around creepliy.
boom..
boom.
Seeing the popped up creature Guzen resposnded instantly, he swept the gun across the sky and several rounds of bullets fired from his gun. With him amplifing his bullets with his speed power, the shoots broke through the air at high speed. Failed to react, all the eyes of the beast was instantly shot through, it wailed in pain as the blood leaks from its eyes.
Then Laffitte appeared suddenly, from out of who knows where and came to the body of the huge beast, he pierced his cane into its stomach region and ran it right across. Blood gushed out, then Guzen appeared above its bloated, oval head and slashed along the sky. The head of it was grazed into that of a 8 equally cut pizza, up it went alive and down it went dead in the sea.
The ship was then placed on the beast body as it, glided along it straught into the sea. Joshua lightly fell on the deack Laffite dropped gracefully and Guzen moon stepped in s sidestep positon as he too landed on the ship. Everyone went down safely from the over 100m horror fall, however.
"I underestimated the grandline a little," Lafffite tapped his feet slowly as he talked, even though they went through everything with any loses. As a navigator there are any situations which can be avioded without diving into it he must take note and respond with the right call.
Guzen looked on Laffitte weirdly, but Joshua just lightly responded, " no need to blame yourself, we have just entered the grandline, it will take sometime to get be familair with these waters."
Joshua has never thought of blaming Laffitte for anything they who have just entered the grandline from the West sea are not going to know much about the grandline. But they still sailed through the grandline safetly, a sea which has killed countless because of its constant changeable state. As a person who will become a captain of a future Yonko, Joshua knew his skills will be top tier over a period of time.
.....
On a uneven rugged area, there was lighthouse like tower stabled stiffly in th earth. Inside such a a buildling, an old man was sitted at the top of the tower reading the newspaper with a pair of glasses on. He held down the newspaper and looked in a certain area.
"Really a little late,"
Cronus old weary eyes twinkled with light, as person who lives at the upside down mountian nothing can passs his eyes.So the same way he sees many make it or die trying to come into the grandline he has also seen the navy warships which has travelled into the West sea.
When he saw a pirate ship travel through after two navy warships enter the West sea,his eyes flashed with a little surprise. One must know even if the if its a small pirate entering the grandline the navy would never allowed it, so when he saw a pirate group enter the grandline after there arrival in the West sea. Cronus could'n't help but have a more startled expression on his face but he didn't think the matter is true until he read the newspaper.
Even though the navy did not let all the information of them to be released, to do such a thing before entering the grandline, is one you have to keep an eye open on.
"Roger you opening the Pirate era has brought maybe a uprising pirate group," Cronus sofly said even though Joshua and is group did not stop here he didn't care cause wanting to survive in the grandline is not easy.
...
"Have they been spotted yet," Odamo whose navy coat blew lightly in the wind, stood on one of the three warship asked in hoarse tone.
"No sir, no signs of any pirate ship approaching," the navy soldiers answered in salute stands and in a respectful tone.
Odamo's face became dark, he gripped his hands slightly, thi is obviously not the answer he wants to hear. These days in the navy headquarters, everywhere he goes all the high leles who know of what he has done and failed at, as swept their is eyes across him him speedily. He who has presided over Joshua's pirate group has has the navy tho loose a rear admiral and a potential vice admiral in the hnads of a Weat sea pirate.
Which made him feel ashamed and angered cause as a high ranking officers to have so many fails under his name because his slackness. Wanting to clear such thing its not easy, if it weren't for the fleet admiral to make immediate response and supress the news of the dead candidate vice admiral the navy would definately receive a blow if news spreads.
He could only go where he is going with a dark face, they might have few glances at him, but thats just it cause at the end of the day he is a lieutenant general and he has many accomplishments but that still doesn't stop his hatred for Joshua and his group. With now him given last chnace from the marshal to deal with Joshua's group, immadiately headed out.
"Keep your eyes peeled open for any incoming ship," Odamo coldly said his long beard sway in the air, as heads to the ship cabin.
Odamo doesn't think that Joshua ship is at the speed where it can travel through the phenomenons near the grandline, this will obviously take some time. But pity he did not know, that Joshua and his group not only passed through that but also has travelled down a distance in the grandline.
