The continuous high-intensity bursts of his devil fruit powers caused Basire's nose to overflow with a trace of blood.
The other crew members looked at Basire worriedly. Desire and Nami wanted to step forward to take care of him, but his ferocious expression and bulging muscles prevented them from disturbing the man.
Eldoraggo had already run to the bow of the ship and quickly started to charge up his energy. The newcomer Eric also ran next to him, he didn't want to die either.
"Captain! Open a hole! I'm going to blow up this roadblock!"
Eldoraggo's mouth was shining, and he shouted anxiously to Basire. The wind blades on Eric's fingers were also ready to be activated.
Now only the two of them have strong long-range attacks, and most of the other crew members were close combatants.
In the midst of the high-intensity use of his powers, Basire forced himself and opened a little hole in the barrier. The fierce wind immediately rushed in, almost knocking down Nami and other weak crew members.
'Sonic cannon!'
'Sickle: Great Wind Blade!'
A sonic laser beam and a huge transparent wind blade blasted towards the black mountain in front.
'Boom~!' 'Howl~!'
"Woo~~!!"
A huge whine was heard, and the black mountain began to roll and rise, and a huge eye and mouth appeared.
Only then did the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates discover that the black mountain was actually a huge living island whale.
Basire was also a little exhausted and finally managed to slow down the pirate ship. However, the speed of the ocean current was still very fast, so he had to continue to maintain his impromptu brakes and had no time to deal with the island whale.
"Wooooo~!!"
Laboon, the island whale, changed from howling in pain to roaring in anger. It wanted to completely smash the pirate ship that dared to hurt it. It opened its huge mouth, its huge and sharp teeth showed that it was not a vegetarian like normal whales.
Just when Basire was about to give up continuing to slow down the ship and hit the whale directly, the angry Laboon suddenly became quiet and dived to the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye.
The Dreadnaught Saber finally broke out of the rapid downhill channel of Reverse Mountain and entered the Grand Line.
"We survived!!"
The crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates shouted excitedly, but Basire was so tired that he sat down and started breathing heavily.
Today was the most tiring day since he went out to sea. It was a hundred times more tiring than attacking the Krieg Pirates, with their thousands of crew members.
"Captain! We successfully entered the Grand Line!!"
The crew shouted excitedly to vent their high emotions after surviving the disaster.
But the next moment, a huge black shadow surged under the sea surface again, and the huge island whale emerged again. Its eyes were already as big as their ship.
"Be careful!!"
Everyone immediately entered a fighting state. The size of this island whale was so big that they looked even smaller than ants in front of it. This was a huge island whale that was four hundred meters long.
Basire also stood up again, but his muscles were still shaking a little. Even in his current state he looked at the island whale without fear.
At this time, Laboon, the island whale, seemed very quiet, and his eyes became clear, no longer as angry as before.
'He must have been sedated by Crocus!'
Basire took one look and made a judgment. The ship doctor of the Roger Pirates should be in Laboon's belly now, right?
Crocus, in addition to being a powerful doctor, was so good at his job that he could even modify Laboon's stomach and live inside of the whale.
"Laboon! I know you understand me! I know where Brook is! You tell Crocus to come out and see me!!"
Basire shouted to the giant island whale Laboon, and he showed a smile. He wondered if he could coax the pirate king's ship doctor onto his ship?
If Crocus, an old-timer, is on board, even if he disembarks when they reach the Florian Triangle, the safety of the Big Daddy Pirates during the Grand Line will undoubtedly be improved countless times.
Crocus is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also has great sailing experience and combat prowess. He even visited Paradise and New World with the Roger Pirates, and even went to Laugh Tale, the final island!
This kind of treasure-like talent really makes Basire salivate!
"Ouch!!"
The quiet island whale Laboon suddenly became excited again when he heard Brook's name. Even the sedatives on his body couldn't suppress his excitement!
The huge waves shook the Dreadnaught Saber, and everyone on board looked at this crazy island whale a little nervously!
"Quiet! Laboon! Don't you want to see Brook!!!"
Basire shouted in an angry tone. Sure enough, upon hearing Basire's words, Laboon immediately calmed down and looked at Basire with big eyes pitifully and expectantly.
At this time, it seems that Laboon's call and emotional ups and downs were felt. An old man with a flower on his bald head, wearing glasses and a pink shirt with yellow and green patterns in the middle, emerged from Laboon's breathing hole on top of his head.
He also carried some harpoon weapons on his back. As soon as he appeared, his expressionless and cold eyes made the atmosphere freeze.
That powerful aura made the rest of the crew break into a cold sweat and feel a sense of suffocation.
So powerful!
Definitely a super strong person!
"Hey! Crocus! Stop releasing your pressure, don't scare the newcomers of the era!"
Basire stood at the front, facing Crocus's cold eyes, and an invisible aura spontaneously emerged from his body to fight against Crocus!
Basire doesn't think Crocus is an easy old man to deal with. He can follow the Roger Pirates around the Grand Line and arrive at the final island. There is no doubt about his strength.
Back then, the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates fought for three days and three nights. Crocus also participated in the battle and fought to the end. In the end, he did not suffer any serious injuries or loss of strength.
After returning to Twin Capes, he hunted giant sea king squid, swam in Laboon's stomach acid, and his body easily resisted the gunpowder shells of the Baroque Works members without getting hurt.
Moreover, the entrance to the Grand Line at Twin Capes has been safe and sound for so many years. Judging from various achievements, it is clear how strong Crocus's combat effectiveness is.
"Kid! You actually know my name? Have you been to the Grand Line before? Or is there a strong elder in your family?"
After Crocus lost his cold eyes and aura, he immediately turned into a little old man with an erratic personality.
"This is my first time here! Not only do I know your name, but I also know your past with Laboon!"
Basire said calmly, and then turned on his Observation Haki to sense the Roger Pirates ship doctor and feel his strength.
"Using Observation Haki on someone so casually is a rude thing to do!"
Crocus smiled. He didn't expect to meet a new pirate who learned Haki at Twin Capes, the starting point of the Grand Line. It was really unprecedented.
However, he quickly realized that this kid knew about his past with Laboon?
How old is this kid?
He had quit the Roger Pirates more than 20 years ago and returned to Twin Capes to work as a lighthouse keeper again, taking care of Laboon. At that time, this kid probably hadn't even been born yet!
