Morning.
"That's... Upside Down Mountain?"
Erica stood on the bow, looking at Upside Down Mountain not far in front, her eyes suddenly showed shock. Such a spectacle was very new to her.
Warwick was sitting aside, and after a glance, he didn't care anymore. It seemed that he was not interested in this aspect.
Robin was holding a book, spreading knowledge like a scholar.
"Yes, Upside Down Mountain is a route from the four seas to the Grand Line, and it is also the only way to go.
However, most of the pirates from the four seas pass through Upside Down Mountain, and the ship is destroyed due to the current."
"Will our boat crash?"
Hearing this, the two tentacles on Erica's forehead stood upright, and she looked nervously at Mio.
Robin had already seen Erica and Warwick in their true colors, but now looking at the two tentacles on Erica's forehead, her small face couldn't help showing a blush, besides the surprise still in her eyes.
Full of curiosity, it seems that she wanted to reach out and touch, but she was embarrassed to speak.
"Don't worry." Mio took a sip of rum and smiled.
"Although my sailing skills are not very good, there is nothing wrong with passing the upside down mountain."
But speaking of this, Mio scratched his head and sighed in his heart, "I have to find a navigator quickly."
If he wants to go to Grand Line or New World, he would definitely need a capable navigator.
If he doesn't have a navigator, although there will be no fatal danger, it is inevitable that there will be some trouble in the middle.
However, the navigator is not so easy to find, it can only depend on luck.
Or raise one himself?
"If I have time, I have to find some pirate groups to hunt down some navigators."
Mio muttered, touching his chin, maybe kill some more navigators in the pirates, and then merging their genes, he can get a navigator talent. It's like Erica's 'swordsmanship'.
"Right, Robin." Mio suddenly looked at Robin and shouted.
Robin, who was staring at the tentacles on Erica's head in a daze, suddenly recovered and hurriedly responded, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"I entrust you with an important task." Mio said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Robin suddenly became nervous, "Excuse me, what is the task?"
"Well, this task..." Mio grinned, sat down cross-legged, and said, "Help me design a pirate flag that belongs to our pirate crew."
"This thing is really complicated. This morning, I didn't know how to design it to be in line with us. I'll leave this kind of thing to people like you who are knowledgable."
Mio scratched his head with a helpless tone.
Robin blinked and looked at Mio's helpless appearance. She couldn't help but let out a chuckle, but then quickly bit het lip to restore her expression, and after making a thoughtful look, she nodded.
"I know, I will try my best to design."
Just as she finished speaking, the ship has approached Upside Down Mountain.
Mio stood up and grinned immediately.
"The Pirate Flag matter will wait until the official entry into the Grand Line. Now, you should find a place to hold onto, so as not to be thrown out."
"Warwick, set sail, let's set off."
"Oh, Warwick got it."
Warwick responded loudly.
Accompanied by the unique ocean current of Upside Down Mountain, the pirate ship headed up with the ocean current.
Upside Down Mountain, also known as Levi's Mountain.
From the moment the ship set foot on the ocean current, Mio was ready.
The rising ocean current is manageable, mainly after reaching the top of the mountain, the danger begins to escalate.
That section of the ocean current will be very violent, the ship will shake around, and a careless person will be thrown out.
Along the way, he admired the elegance of the rising ocean currents.
It didn't take long to reach the top. At a glance, the front of a current channel was a wide and boundless sea area.
That is the Grand Line.
But before he could look at it more, the ship quickly descended along with the ocean current.
The speed was so fast that Mio was a little surprised, but after that, he took a sip of rum and threw the wine bottle in his hand.
"Grand Line..."
"Entering the Grand Line, the adventure really begins." Mio muttered in his heart.
The ship began to hit the mountain wall on the left. The ship was extremely unstable due to the sea current. If it hits, the ship will be shattered immediately.
"Tch!"
Mio suddenly drew his sword, chopped out together, and burst out a sword aura to bombard the mountain wall, forming a shock wave that bounced the ship directly away.
As a result, the ship returned to the main course and moved forward again.
Along the way, he encountered the same situation several times, but under the joint effort of Mio and Erica, they passed through unscathed.
Finally, they completely left from the current of the upside-down mountain and entered the Grand Line.
The sea is calm, and at a glance, there is a small island not far away with a lighthouse on it.
At this time, a man who was not too old but not too young was sitting there, holding a fishing rod in his hand, looking like he was fishing. He noticed Mio's Pirate Ship and couldn't help but look up.
"Are they young pirates again?" Crocus murmured, shook his head, not paying attention.
Basically, a few pirate boats arrive every day, and some are the wreckage of the boats. Crocus has already been familiar with it, and is not too surprised.
He continued to fish, and occasionally picked up the newspaper next to him and read it.
"Is this the Grand Line? It doesn't feel too special." Nico Robin lay on the hoarding and looked around curiously.
Hearing this, Mio smiled and said, "The magic of Grand Line is not the sea, but the island and the weather.
Compared to the four seas, Grand Line has a variety of magical islands and unpredictable weather.
It may be sunny now, but it may be possible for a storm to appear in the next second, and there may be snow after a storm.
These are all possible.
In addition, the strength of the pirates of the Grand Line is basically much stronger than that of the New world."
"Where are we going next?" Robin nodded, looked at Mio and asked.
"Little Garden." Mio took out a permanent pointer from his pants, glanced at the direction marked on it, and the corners of his mouth raised.
Prehistoric island, Little Garden.
This is the island where the giant pirate Dorry and Brogy are located.
"But before heading to Little Garden, let's go to the old man and ask something."
Mio chuckled and leaned in the direction of the Crocus while driving the boat.
