After confirming the future itinerary, the Gemini Goddess moved towards the Upside Down Mountain at an incredible speed in a cycle of accelerated charging, cooling and acceleration.
In just over half a day, there was no longer a single ship to be seen on the entire ocean. It could be said that the Sky Pirate Flag had left all the pirate ships and navy behind it far behind.
Night is falling
Xiao Yan and Enelu continued their arduous training on the ship. This time Tiger also joined them, but his main mission was to control the direction of the Gemini Goddess.
As for Freya, she picked a house for the two of them on the boat, packed their luggage, and after moving in, she hid in the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
This was the first time Freya, as the head chef of the Sky Pirates, prepared food for everyone, so she couldn't be careless. Feeling the increasing strength required to control the rudder, Tiger also expressed his own judgment.
"The ocean current has begun to change. We should have been pulled by the ocean current heading towards Upside Down Mountain. If all goes well, we will be able to see Upside Down Mountain tomorrow morning. However, just in case, I suggest that we find a place to anchor overnight. It would be best if we land on Upside Down Mountain at dawn tomorrow when the view is the best."
"No problem, I'll leave it to you, Tiger."
At this time, he also changed into new clothes, jumped and ran out of the cabin happily, shouting with a smile. "Master Enel, Master Xiao Yan, Master Tiger, Sister Freya said that we can have dinner now."
"Captain, you guys go ahead. I'll come over when I find a place to dock the boat." "Well, thank you for your hard work."
When the two walked into the brightly lit restaurant, they could see with the naked eye that the huge, long dining table was already filled with all kinds of food, including appetizers, soups, fish, meat, main courses, salads, desserts, and drinks. The aroma of the food accompanied by the warm air filled the entire restaurant, giving people a warm and happy feeling from the bottom of their hearts.
"Wow, this is so rich."
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt that his decision to recruit Freya onto the ship was extremely wise.
Finally, I don't have to eat only fruits, barbecue and stew.
This delicious food is so appetizing.
At this time, Freya, also dressed in white as a cook, came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup and placed it on the table. "Can we eat now?"
Xiao Yan couldn't wait to taste Freya's cooking skills, but Freya waved her hand firmly.
"No, go take a shower first. Can't you smell the stench on your bodies? Also, Mr. Tiger hasn't come in yet, how can we start dinner early?"
"Not bad, she looks a bit like a housekeeper." "Asshole, who is the housekeeper?"
Xiao Yan did not give Freya the chance to lose her temper and ran to clean it.
After about ten minutes, everyone sat together again.
Looking at the food on the table, no one moved. They all looked at Xiao Yan with burning eyes , obviously waiting for Xiao Yan to speak. Seeing this, Xiao Yan raised his glass without hesitation.
"This is the first official family party for our Sky Pirates."
"First of all, let's have a toast to our head chef Freya. Thank you, head chef Freya, for preparing such a big table of delicious food for us. I'll count on you more in the future!" "Cheers, cheers!"
"Next, let's have a toast to Mr. Tiger, the navigator. Without Tiger, Enel and I would probably still be floating on the sea. Please take good care of us in the future!"
"Cheers, Cheers"
"Then let's have a toast to our little crew and thank the little girl for bringing us joy and smiles. By the way, the glass in this little girl's cup contains juice, right?"
"Of course, you thought I was you, and you just thought of this question now." "Hahahaha, cheers, cheers."
"Then, let's have a toast to our pirate ship, the Gemini Goddess. She is the strongest supporter of our pirate group. For the Gemini Goddess, let's drink."
"Cheers, Cheers"
"Finally, let's make a toast to the Sky Pirates family and to ourselves in the family. Starting tomorrow, we will officially enter the Grand Line and begin our adventure. Get ready, the world will be turned upside down because of us. Cheers." "Cheers, cheers."
"Okay, now I declare, let's eat"
The whole banquet was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Xiao Yan and Enelu took the lead and set an example by throwing away their identities as captain and vice-captain, and started to grab food with tears of happiness in their eyes like little children. The others were also infected and quickly joined in.
"Wow, this is so delicious!"
"Wow wow wow what did I eat before?" "Asshole, do you have a problem with my cooking?"
"If you eat something for ten years, you will get tired of it. Besides, what you cook, Xiao Yan , is nothing compared to these dishes." "Our head chef is really amazing."
"Sister Freya is the best."
""
The joyous atmosphere of the banquet did not end until midnight.
Everyone drank a lot, but only Freya and the one who drank secretly were really drunk. Xiao Yan , Enelu, and Tiger were sober.
"Everyone take turns to guard the night, we will set out to climb the mountain tomorrow morning"
————————
When Freya woke up again, it was already noon.
She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment. She was startled at first, and then she reacted. "Oh, I'm a pirate now."
"Sister Freya, are you awake?"
A voice sounded in her ears. She turned her head and saw the little girl in pajamas, staring at her with a pair of beautiful big eyes. "So cute! But what time is it now?"
" Master Xiao Yan said that we are almost at Upside-Down Mountain. If you wake up, let me call you." "Ah"
Freya quickly got up, changed her clothes, and went out to the deck.
Suddenly, the dazzling sunlight hit her eyes, making her feel uncomfortable. "We need to brew some wine specifically for ladies."
Thinking of this, Freya also adapted to it, walked to Xiao Yan's side, and looked into the distance and around. "Aren't we almost there? Why is there nothing?"
Freya remembered what her father had told her, that the Upside-Down Mountain stood in the middle of the towering Red Soil Continent, dividing the entire Red Soil Continent into two. But now, let alone the Red Soil Continent, even the mountain was not visible.
"You're awake, isn't the Red Earth Continent right there?"
Xiao Yan pointed towards the distance. Freya was stunned, wiped her eyes and looked carefully.
Still no sign of the Red Earth Continent was seen. In the distance, there were only rolling black clouds connecting the sky and the sea, dividing the entire world into two. At this time, Freya also reacted and said.
"Could it be that Upside-Down Mountain is in that cloud?" "Yes."
The one who nodded and spoke was Tiger.
"That cloud is the Upside-Down Mountain. Because of the Red Earth Continent's special geography, the entire airflow is blocked by the Red Earth Continent. Coupled with the unique ocean currents, the Upside-Down Mountain is often covered by clouds like this."
"That's why we say that Upside Down Mountain is the first challenge in entering the Grand Line. The climate inside is very complex, it's dark and difficult to see, and coupled with the strong ocean currents, the ships are basically out of control there. Therefore, nearly half of the pirate ships will be destroyed here, ending their pirate journey."
"Hey, what about us?"
"Don't worry, Tiger is a professional navigator."
