Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 109 Enter, the Grand Route!

"Brother, you are right, it really suits me, I like it!"

Zoro raised the third-generation Kitetsu in his hand, looked at the pattern on the blade, and showed an unruly smile.

Obviously, Sauron is indeed very satisfied with this so-called demon sword.

However, seeing that even Zoro himself didn't seem to care about the legend of the demon sword, the shop owner became a little anxious:

"Are you an idiot? I won't sell you that knife! If you die because of that knife, wouldn't it be equivalent to being killed by me?"

Zoro looked at the Third Generation Ghost in his hand and said without hesitation:

"Ha, let's see, let's see who is stronger between my luck and the curse of this sword!"

Having said that, Zoro ignored the surprised look in the shopkeeper's eyes and threw the third generation of Onei Tetsu up high, then slowly raised his right arm and placed it on the path where Oni Tetsu fell.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw this scene and shouted to stop:

"Quick, stop, that knife is very sharp! Your hand will be cut off!"

Lin Bei, who was also standing by and watching, turned around and said to the shop owner with a smile:

"Haha, uncle, don't worry, I believe in my junior brother, he will never lose to a knife!"

Zoro was a little surprised when he heard this, but he did not refuse. He just solemnly put the Sandaiki Tetsu back into the scabbard, and then saluted and thanked the shopkeeper:

"Ha, thank you very much, uncle."

Under the worried eyes of the shop owner and the interested eyes of Lin Bei, the third generation Kitetsu, who was thrown up high by Zoro, spun and fell quickly, and was about to hit Zoro's arm.

But maybe it was fate. Just when the third generation Kitetsu's blade was about to touch Sauron's skin, it missed Sauron's arm by a hair's breadth. Only the smooth back of the blade passed by Sauron's arm. Crossed.

"The greatest swordsman in the world?"

Zoro, who had already felt the back of the Third Demon King's sword slashing his arm with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this time, with an arrogant smile on his lips and said:

"Ha, I'll take it!"

The shopkeeper turned to look at Lin Bei again, then turned back to the inner hall and took out a long knife covered with silk from the inner hall.

However, although it looked extremely thrilling, Zoro still won!

He looked at Sauron with wide eyes and said:

"You, you are such a super idiot!"

The shopkeeper coughed, got up from the ground, patted his butt and said to Lin Bei and Sauron:

"Take the knife away, and don't use the money. You won it by yourself!"

The next moment, the third generation of Onei Tetsu was thrust into the solid wood floor of the weapons store with the sound of a long sword.

If Lin Bei and Sauron had said such things before, the shop owner would definitely sneer at him. But now, although he still doesn't know much about Lin Bei and Sauron, the shop owner inexplicably believes what Lin Bei said. Make it real!

Zoro also turned a deaf ear to the shop owner's stoppage and even slowly closed his eyes. His face was as calm as water, as if he was not worried about his arm.

"Okay uncle, please give me a price for this knife. We will buy it."

It was only then that the shop owner, who was so frightened by Zoro's sudden hand that he had completely held his breath, let out a sigh of relief, then his legs went weak and he sat on the ground.

At this time, Lin Bei burst into laughter and patted the shop owner on the shoulder and said:

"Hahaha, uncle, you are so nervous! I have told you before that my junior brother cannot lose to a sword! He is going to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

It can be seen that the words of the shop owner just now were not threatening at all. With Zoro as completely undefended as he was just now, if the blade of the knife really slashed his arm downward, Zoro's right hand would really be chopped off.

The shopkeeper put the long knife on the counter, opened the silk cloth, took out the long knife that seemed to be well preserved on the knife holder, and said to Lin Bei:

Although it was just a free fall, the extreme sharpness still allowed the Third Generation Ghost to be completely inserted into the ground, leaving only a section of the hilt exposed.

At this time, Zoro had pulled out the Third Generation Ghost from the ground and said to the shopkeeper:

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this, looked at Lin Bei, then looked at Sauron, and murmured:

"The blade is made of jet black Taito, and the blade is a small T-shaped blade with random edges. It is one of the fifty skills of a good and fast sword. Snow! You won, so it is yours."

Lin Bei took the Kuai Dao from the shop owner and walked away. After looking at it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Yes, what a good knife!"

This Yukizai is indeed one of the fifty good swordsmen. Lin Bei has been learning swordsmanship for more than ten years since time travel. Except for the third generation Kitetsu and Wado Ichimonji, this Yukizai is the best long sword that Lin Bei has ever seen. Knife.

It was not even the slightest bit better than the ordinary long knives Lin Bei had used before.

After praising him, Lin Bei put Xue Zao back into the scabbard, took off the ordinary long knife from his waist and threw it to the shopkeeper. He hung Xue Zao up and then asked:

"Thank you so much, uncle, the shop owner. Xue Zai, Ling Xue, and Sandai Kitetsu are all good swords. For these three swords, I will give you a total of five million Baileys, okay?"

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head when he heard this and said:

"No, no need. I will give you these three knives. I only have one request, and I hope you can agree to it."

Lin Bei asked with interest:

"Oh, what request? Uncle, tell me."

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Bei and Sauron and said solemnly:

"When you become famous all over the world and become great swordsmen, and you no longer need them, please send them back to me, or tell everyone that I gave them to you."

Lin Bei asked strangely:

"But uncle, we are still just unknown guys. How can you be sure that we can become famous all over the world and become great swordsmen?"

The skin on the middle-aged face of the shopkeeper's uncle was wrinkled, and he showed a greasy but friendly smile and said:

"Ha, didn't you just say that your junior brother wants to become the world's greatest swordsman, and you will definitely be good at it. I believe you will do it."

This time, before Lin Bei could say anything, Sauron laughed and said, "Haha, okay, uncle, then this is our agreement with you. When the day comes, we will definitely abide by the agreement!"

Lin Bei also smiled and shrugged, indicating that he had no objection to this.

After making such a hasty agreement with the shop owner, Lin Bei and Sauron left the weapons store with Ling Xue, Xue Zhi and the third generation Guite, and began to continue shopping on the street.

However, Lin Bei and Sauron only had a quick glance at everything around them. Except for the fragrant restaurants, other shops basically didn't attract Lin Bei's attention at all.

But because they had already agreed with Nami that they would have dinner together at noon, the two of them had no choice but to run to eat first. They could only resist the temptation of delicious food while looking for Nami.

Fortunately, they didn't walk long before they saw Nami, who was carrying large and small bags and had completely changed her outfit.

After the three met, they went shopping with Nami for a while, bought a bunch of things, and then went to a restaurant to have a good meal together. After eating, they also stopped by to visit the famous attractions in Rogge Town—— The place where the previous Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed, the guillotine is somewhat sacred in the world of pirates.

However, unlike Luffy, the protagonist of the plot, Lin Bei didn't have any special feelings when he saw this special execution place. He just regarded it as a famous scenic spot and even took a photo by the way.

After all, Lin Bei's ideal is not to be the Pirate King. To him, this place is nothing special except that it is famous.

In this way, the three of them from Lin Bei had completely finished visiting Rogge Town. In the afternoon, the three of them went to buy a pretty good sea boat and set sail again. The process could be said to be quite smooth.

And this time, their goal is the most exciting place in the world, its name is, the Grand Route!

Since the Grand Route is wrapped in two windless belts, under normal circumstances, as long as it is not a special ship with independent power and the bottom of the ship is completely covered by sea towers, it is impossible to pass through this windless belt. of.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if you want to enter the Grand Line, there is only one entrance - Upside Down Mountain.

In the world of One Piece, the entire world is covered by the ocean, and above it is a ring-shaped continent that divides the world's oceans into east and west parts. It is named the Red Continent because its surface is covered with red soil.

In addition, the pirate world also has a circular route that divides the world's oceans into southern and northern parts, which is the Grand Route.

The Grand Line and the Red Continent are perpendicular to each other, so there are only two intersections, the Upside Down Mountain and the Holy Land of the Draco People, Mary Joa.

Upside Down Mountain is a winter island. Due to the relationship between temperature and pressure, the water from the four oceans that came to the front of the mountain surged up to this high mountain. There appeared the strange scene of four sea currents going up and down the mountain in reverse. This is how Upside Down Mountain got its name. name.

Four ocean currents converging at the top of the mountain emerge from the same outlet, which is the real entrance to the Grand Line with the twinkling lights of the Twin Gorges Lighthouse.

Thanks to the nautical chart obtained from Mengka and Nami's navigation, Lin Bei and the others took less than a day to get from Rogge Town to the front of Upside Down Mountain, and followed the route on this side of the East China Sea. The current went directly up to Upside Down Mountain and entered the Grand Line.

However, even so, there were still many dangers on the way up the mountain. Even with Lin Bei's current strength, he was still helpless in the face of the terrifying power of nature and could only barely resist.

Whether it was the violent wind and rain caused by the difference in temperature and pressure at the foot of the mountain, or the countless hidden eddies and extremely fast currents in the canal up the mountain, they all brought extreme danger to Lin Bei and his small boat.

But precisely because of this, Lin Bei also saw magnificent scenery here that was almost impossible to see in other worlds, which made Lin Bei very excited.

The only thing that made Lin Bei feel a little regretful was that he didn't meet the island whale named Rabu in the original plot.

But there was nothing I could do. I wonder if the time was wrong. Labu was taking a rest. Lin Bei and the others didn't see Labu at all when they came down from Upside Down Mountain. Due to the situation at the exit of Upside Down Mountain, they couldn't stop there and wait, so they could only missed.

Originally, Lin Bei had a good impression of Labu, the loyal and persistent whale. Since he was passing by, he really wanted to meet him, but unfortunately, he didn't have the aura of a protagonist like Luffy, so he could only Let’s check back next time.

After coming out of the entrance to Upside Down Mountain, Lin Bei and the others had officially entered the Grand Line.

After entering the Grand Route, you need to choose one of the seven magnetic belts extending from the Upside Down Mountain as a route to move forward. It is almost impossible to change it unless you have a permanent record pointer of some of the islands.

Once you don't follow this magnetic route, it's easy to get lost in the Grand Route. With the extremely bad weather and the vast width of the Great Route, unless you are a powerful man of the Yonko or Admiral level, once you get lost, it basically means a sentence. death penalty.

Fortunately, before entering the Grand Route, Lin Bei had already determined his target route, which was the route that Luffy traveled in the original plot.

Firstly, it was because Lin Bei was planning to go to Cigu Island and abduct Chopper. After all, who wouldn’t like a lovely companion like Chopper.

It's just that Cigum Island itself doesn't seem to be on the route, but slightly offset. Reaching Cigum Island in the original plot was also a coincidence. Lin Bei doesn't know how to get there for the time being. This will be solved later.

Secondly, Luffy's route has the Capital of Seven Waters, the largest shipyard in the pirate world, and Lin Bei needs to go there to customize a ship that can carry him around the world.

The current ship is made of the most common materials. Although the size is barely enough, it will probably fall apart if it encounters strong winds and waves. There is no way it can adapt to the navigation of the Grand Route.

Not to mention compared to the car behind Luffy, the Wanli Sunshine, I'm afraid it can't even compare to the Merry.

So it is imperative to change the ship.

Finally, it was Lin Bei's goal that he had set early on. The location of the Black Knife Qiushui, the Terror Triangle, was also on this route. Lin Bei had to take this route if he wanted to get the knife.

For these reasons, Lin Bei had already discussed with Nami the direction of the route before entering the Grand Route. Now there was no need to be confused, just follow the direction indicated by the pointer.

However, just as they entered the Grand Route, the bad weather on the route gave Lin Bei and the others a hard time, allowing them to truly understand what it meant for God to change his face.

It was clear that the weather was bright and sunny one second, but it could turn into rain, snow, or even violent storms the next second. If you are not careful, you will lose your way forward.

Even with Nami at the helm, Lin Bei and the others were still in a hurry.

Fortunately, their ship itself was not that big, and Lin Bei and Sauron had a lot of strength, so they arrived at their first stop on the Great Route without any danger, and it was also the first stop for most pirates. One stop – the frontier town known as the Welcome City, Whiskey Peak.
