In front of the Reverse Mountain, the sea beast Momoo looked at the rapid ocean current going upstream, and showed a humane expression of fear.
"Momoo, just protect yourself! Leave the pirate ship to us!"
Basire never thought that this cow could protect the Dreadnaught Saber. He would protect his own pirate ship himself.
"So kids! Today we officially enter the Grand Line!!"
Basire shouted, making all the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates excited.
"Yes! Captain!!"
Nami began to command the other crew members, steering the pirate ship into the turbulent waters, and loosened the traction rope with the sea beast Momoo.
And Kuro was at the stern of the boat, looking at Eric who was tied to the ship by a rope, being dragged in the sea water.
"Now we're going up Reverse Mountain, I hope you survive!!"
Kuro looked at the prisoner coldly. After Eric was caught, he had been dragged behind the boat by Kuro to destroy his arrogance.
"I join..., I join! Please pull me up to the ship"
Eric shouted feebly. He was given a few more mouthfuls of seawater, soaked in the seawater, and cuffed by seastone handcuffs, which made him feel like he was dying, and a feeling of extreme despair emerged in his heart.
It was obvious that he had been shouting for several hours to surrender and join, but it seemed that Kuro refused to hear him.
Now that he heard that they were about to enter the Reverse Mountain, if he continued to be dragged in the sea water, he would definitely be thrown to the mountain wall and turned into a piece of meat on the channel of the Reverse Mountain.
How much he longed to live at this moment, he never wanted to try this inhuman punishment again.
He was already full of fear of the Big Daddy Pirates, leaving a shadow that could never be erased for the rest of his life.
At this time, seeing Eric who was almost done, Basire came over.
At the last moment when the Dreadnaught Saber entered the upstream ocean current, Eric, who was extremely pale with fright, was finally pulled out of the water.
"From now on, you will be a member of the Big Daddy Pirates. Please obey orders, otherwise… Do you understand?"
Basire slowly took off Eric's seastone handcuffs and the hemp rope around his body, and then said calmly to the sickle fruit user.
"I know! Captain! I will never betray the Big Daddy Pirates in this life!"
He was already in tears at this moment. He immediately cried and expressed his loyalty to Basire. He hugged Basire's thigh without any concern for his image and shouted. Knowing that he finally survived in the hands of these demons.
"I just like obedient crew members. Now go change your clothes and follow us into the Grand Line!"
Basire picked up Eric, straightened his wet clothes, and said with a smile.
At this moment, Basire changed from a demon captain to a gentle and good boss.
"Thank you Captain, I will definitely obey you!"
Eric has been completely impressed by Basire's methods. At most, he will be a little resentful towards Kuro, but for Basire, the captain, he is absolutely convinced and grateful.
After asking people to take Eric into a room, the pirate ship finally rushed up to the Reverse Mountain. It trembled violently, making Basire immediately prepare to protect the pirate ship at all times.
'Barrier Dreadnought Battleship!'
The huge barrier instantly enveloped the Dreadnaught Saber. In the turbulent ocean currents, the pirate ship had violent collisions with the mountain many times, causing the pirate ship to almost roll over.
"It's really dangerous."
Basire finally saw why Reverse Mountain was the first hell gate for the new pirates from all over the world.
Damn it!
The channel going up Reverse Mountain was not as short as in the animation!
Basire estimated that the upstream channel alone was more than 300 kilometers long. They rushed for almost three hours in the super-turbulent sea current with a speed of about 120 kilometers per hour!
Based on the navigation knowledge Basire learned and combined with his geographical knowledge from his previous life, he estimated that the Grand Line is roughly three or four latitudes north and south of the equator.
That is to say, the Grand Line is at least 600 to 800 kilometers wide, and the two Calm Belts are also on both sides of it, each accounting for more than 100 kilometers of width.
"Damn it!! If I didn't have the Barrier Fruit, we wouldn't be able to survive through this Reverse Mountain!!"
Basire cursed loudly, knowing that all the ocean currents in the Reverse Mountain in all directions must reach the center point before they can all flow into the Grand Line. Moreover, they must take a sloped triangle line instead of a straight line.
This distance is longer than half the width of the entire Grand Line!
Using the Barrier Fruit for three or four hours continuously to protect the huge Dreadnaught Saber made Basire break into a cold sweat.
The crew members were also shocked and turned pale.
They knew the Grand Line was dangerous, but they didn't expect that the Reverse Mountain in the first level was already so dangerous!
How many pirate ships can sail upward for three or four hours in a turbulent ocean current with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour?
These wooden pirate ships only need a few collisions to turn them into a ball of debris in an instant.
Sure enough, every pirate group that arrives at the Grand Line is a pirate group with full luck points!
These fallen pirates were rushed into the Grand Line and became the personal salary of Crocus, the Lighthouse guard of Twin Capes.
Otherwise, why do you think Crocus has been guarding the Twin Capes for so many years and still has no worries about food and clothing, reading newspapers leisurely.
There is even a lot of wealth to buy medical books, buy precious medicinal materials, treat and transform the huge island whale Laboon. Maybe Laboon's nutritional rations also have part of the credit of Crocus.
When reaching the top of Reverse Mountain, the pirate ship collided violently again, but successfully changed its direction and rushed downward at a faster speed.
The four ocean currents from all over the world converged into one, making the ocean currents faster, and Basire had to work even harder to protect the ship.
"Ah~!!"
The girls on the boat were shouting loudly. The current speed of the ship has exceeded 180 kilometers per hour, and the mast is even a little bent.
Without the protection of the Barrier Fruit, a single collision would turn this pirate ship into a tattered wreck!
How lucky are those pirate groups who successfully entered the Grand Line to not collide with the mountain wall of the Reverse Mountain Channel even once?
"Ahhh!! Captain Basire!! There is a dead end ahead!! It's over!! Why is there a wall ahead!!"
Nami was so frightened that she burst into tears. She thought she was about to see the exit, but she didn't expect that there was a huge mountain blocking their front. There was no possibility of escape!
"Hold on to something!! Everyone, hurry up!!"
Basire shouted angrily, he did not expect to encounter the island whale Laboon crashing into the mountain. If they hit the mountain or the whale at this speed, even if they are protected by the barrier fruit, the huge inertia will make most crew members disabled or even die directly, and the hull will also be damaged, or even disintegrate completely.
'Barrier: Susanoo's Hand!'
Basire roared angrily, and the huge barrier shell stretched out two giant hands, grabbing hard at the mountain walls on both sides, and decelerated wildly, with rocks flying all the way, which was dozens of times more exaggerated than Spider-Man pulling a line to stop a train.
A huge deep mark was made on the mountain body of the Reverse mountain channel, and countless dust and rocks were kicked up...
