727. Departure

"I have researched for decades, and it is almost certain that only when the ascending current and the cumulus cloud appear at the same time, can you reach the legendary Golden Land, which is what the world calls Sky Island. 【】Sky The most likely place for the island to appear is the cumulus cloud that covers the sky and the sun, but the chances of cumulus clouds and upwelling currents appearing at the same time are too small. It happened at the same time. But this time is different. According to the timing and rules of the two that I have concluded, they are very likely to appear at the same time this time. Therefore, this is your only chance. If you miss it this time , next time, I don’t know what year and month we will have to wait, so you are definitely super lucky..."

Uncle Lizitou sat on the stone in front of the door, looked at the two groups of people in front of him, and said with a serious expression.

"However, you are also unlucky, because in my memory, no one has successfully gone to Sky Island. Although there have been many people who have taken the ascent and current, but the result... In short, I have been with the dangerous places. You have made it clear, and you have a final discussion about whether to take this risk. You are still young, and you must consider your own lives and make a judgment that you think is the safest..."

"Haha, what's the point? Of course we are going! We are not afraid of any danger, we are pirates!!!"

Before Uncle Lizitou finished speaking, Luffy jumped out, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted loudly.

There is no so-called thinking at all, and there is no worry at all. I just think wholeheartedly that I can succeed. This is Luffy, a single-line passionate fool.

"Hey, hey, Luffy, this kind of thing is not a joke, one will die, you must..."

As soon as Luffy finished speaking here, Usopp over there slapped him on the back of the head and said loudly that he was extremely upset that Luffy didn't discuss this matter with him at all.

"Huh, it sounds interesting, Sky Island, the ingredients on it must be very different from the ones on the ground, it would be great if we could do it again."

As a result, before Usopp finished speaking, Sanji on the other side took a puff of cigarette lightly and said with a little expectation.

"Sanji, you..."

"Are there any masters on Sky Island? If so, we must fight well."

Zoro, who had been silent all this time, also spoke, and when he said this, his eyes were directed at Zhang Fan and Guyina, the meaning of the challenge was self-evident.

"..."

This time, Usopp didn't say anything.

There are currently five members of the Straw Hat Pirates, and three of the five agreed to go up. Even if it was a fair vote, this trip to the sky is absolutely unchangeable.

What else can Usopp say?Don't say anything.

With a long sigh, Naidi sat aside.

Uncle Lizitou saw Lu Fei and the others' statement, his eyes lit up slightly, he nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan sat there quietly, and the girls around him were also sitting or standing around him, Zhang Fan's dominant position was clearly doubtful.Seeing Uncle Lizitou's gaze cast to this side, Zhang Fan smiled softly.

"No need, if I didn't have such a purpose, I wouldn't come back to find you, Rolando's descendant."

Although Zhang Fan's words did not directly explain anything, his meaning was self-evident.

And the girls around him didn't react at all after he said such words, neither objected nor agreed, but their behavior was tantamount to acquiescing, acquiescing to Zhang Fan's opinion.

Seeing that Zhang Fan also expressed his agreement, the chestnut-headed uncle was even happier, and the smile on his face finally showed involuntarily.

Next, is to wait.

It was early morning at this time, and according to Uncle Lizitou, the time when cumulus clouds and rising ocean currents appeared at the same time should be in the afternoon.

In other words, Zhang Fan and the others still have a lot of time to prepare.It is said to be preparations, but in fact there is nothing to prepare for. All the things that should be prepared have been prepared in the past few days.Food, clean water, medicine, daily necessities, and the huge wooden wings on both sides of the Meili's hull.

This pair of wings is used for flying, and it cannot be said to be flying. It should be more accurate to say that it is gliding.

Just waiting quietly, half a day passed by, the originally clear sky became as black as the bottom of a pot in just one or two hours, and dark clouds as thick as mountains floated in the air, and the sun It was completely blocked, and as far as the line of sight was concerned, the sea was dark, just like the night.

The surface of the sea was also not calm, and waves of tumbling waves undulated like hills, and a huge vortex appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance.

"Quickly, the rising current is about to appear, you all follow me!"

As soon as the chestnut-headed man arrived at the whirlpool, his eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, he took the lead in heading towards the whirlpool.

The Meili was a little dissatisfied, and the moment the uncle finished speaking, the sail had turned around, and the ship followed closely.

Luffy and the others didn't have a navigator, but they followed closely.

Regarding the Straw Hat Pirates, Zhang Fanxin still has a lot of doubts.The most important point is that they don't have navigators.Ten people will understand how terrible it is to sail on the sea without a navigator.As an ordinary person, without the support of navigators, let alone a great route, even in the four seas, it is afraid that they will not be able to find a safe route.And Nami is definitely a top-notch navigator. The Straw Hat Pirates in the original book can go farther and farther, which is definitely related to the technical support of Nami's top-level navigation skills.This time, Nami followed Zhang Fan. The Straw Hats and the others didn't even have navigators. Zhang Fan was really curious that they could make it this far.

During the few days of rest after the battle, Zhang Fan also asked Luffy, and the answer he got made him very speechless.

"Navigator? We don't have it... It's okay, just get this little needle? We're going in this direction, why? Is there any problem?"

After listening to Lu Fei's words, Zhang Fan's full of problems became no problem.

He already had enough to say about this single-line hot-blooded idiot.

Drinking straw hats and a group of people can come to Gaya smoothly, it is all by luck.All kinds of currents along the way, all kinds of strange natural phenomena, they all broke through safely. Isn't this a lucky stone?

"The protagonist's halo...it really is a cheating device at the level of a cheating bug!"

Zhang Fan could only sigh silently in his heart.

Now, what the straw hats have shown proves this point even more.

Because the upwelling current is about to appear, the sea surface is extremely unstable, and the current under the sea surface is like a drum washing machine, becoming a mess.With Nami, an expert on board, observing the current all the time, Zhang Fan and the others were able to keep up with Uncle Lizitou's footsteps in a thrilling manner.And what about Luffy and the others?Although the whole boat was in a mess, and the people on the boat were staggering, but the speed was not slow at all, and it firmly bit the back of the Meili.

This is enough to explain the problem.

The chestnut-headed uncle in front of him moved fast, and finally came to the front of the maelstrom.

Zhang Fan and Lu Fei also followed closely. When reaching this huge vortex with a radius of over a thousand meters, everyone on the two boats widened their eyes in surprise, and looked at the scene in front of them stupidly.

Including Zhang Fan, although he is no longer an ordinary person.

But this is the first time he has visited a natural phenomenon of this scale. I have to say that it is really shocking. Standing in front of such a maelstrom, anyone will only have one feeling, that is, grandeur and insignificance.

The magnificence of nature, and the insignificance of oneself as a human being when facing nature.

Even Luffy, who is thicker than the line, was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment when he saw such a maelstrom.

"What are you doing standing still!!!"

At this moment, Uncle Lizitou's voice sounded, and Zhang Fan subconsciously looked towards him.

"What are you still doing in a daze, go in quickly, the upwelling current is about to appear, quickly enter the maelstrom, only in this way can you rise together with the upwelling current, if you stay outside all the time, then you won't even think about getting on it, hurry up Hurry up, if you want to go to Sky Island, don't be in a daze!!!"

The uncle explained loudly, and at the end, he kept urging.

Hearing what the uncle said, Zhang Fan turned his head and looked at the girls.

Nami, Guyina, Keya, Robin, Weiwei, Na, six girls with different appearances but all of them are exceptionally beautiful, looking at Zhang Fan together, their eyes are very serious, without any extra emotion Yes, just do your best to trust.

Seeing such eyes, Zhang Fan's heart immediately warmed up.

"Hahahaha, what are you waiting for, let's go!!!"

Zhang Fan laughed loudly, and waved his hand fiercely in the direction of the maelstrom.

"understood!"

Nami's coquettish laughter reminded her that the next second, the ship's body moved violently, and the Merry started slowly, plunged headlong into the maelstrom.

Beside him, Luffy, who had been foolishly not moving, also woke up suddenly, hurriedly drove his own boat, and followed in.

The current in the large whirlpool is very intense, but not as intense as the small whirlpool. After all, the coverage of the large whirlpool is too large. The outermost circle is thousands of meters long. With such a length, ships only need to follow the direction of the current. , basically will not be overturned by sea water.

The Meili was in the front, and the Straw Hat was behind. The two ships slowly sailed towards the heart of the vortex.

Just when they were about to enter the heart area, the vortex disappeared in an instant.

Before they came back to their senses, the sea level suddenly began to slowly rise.

Just like an elevator, dragging two boats, floating towards the sky bit by bit.

five seconds later...

boom! ! !

A thick water column pierced out of thin air, like a huge pillar, straight into the sky! ! !
