The Chapter get Retranslated
"Boom!"
Obscured by clouds, the massive, seemingly endless Red Line stood majestically on the vast ocean.
What appeared before Luen and his crew was the part of the Red Line that led to the Grand Line,
and most astonishingly, within this boundless Red Line, a narrow, winding waterway.
The ocean currents from the Four Seas converged on this mountain, then rushed straight to the summit through this narrow waterway, hence it was also called Reverse Mountain.
Ships from the Four Seas only needed to sail onto the current to ascend Reverse Mountain and then enter the Grand Line!
"Sugoi! The ocean current is actually climbing the mountain!"
Usopp exclaimed repeatedly.
"How magnificent."
Listening to the roar of the ocean current and watching the colossal current climb the mountain, Luen burst out laughing.
Such a majestic sight could only appear in the special sea areas of the Pirate World.
Before the terrifying power of nature, human strength seemed so insignificant.
Of course, in the Pirate World, the strong can conquer this sea area and conquer nature!
Luen looked at the enormous current flowing upstream, seemingly climbing the mountain, his red-black eyes growing even more intense.
"But if we can't enter the entrance, then we can just turn the ship back and recalibrate, and we'll eventually get in, right?
Why do you say, Luen, that before even entering the Grand Line, seven out of ten ships will be destroyed and their crews killed?"
At this moment, Zoro also raised a question.
"Because Reverse Mountain is a Winter Island."
Luen looked at Nami and chuckled.
"I see!"
Hearing Luen's words, Nami immediately understood and exclaimed.
"What do you mean?"
Zoro and the others looked on curiously.
"Because Reverse Mountain is a Winter Island in the Grand Line, the ocean currents that crash into it will flow from the surface into the seabed.
If we can't accurately enter the canal, we'll be swept by the current and crash into the Red Line, which means the ship will be destroyed and everyone on board will die."
Nami analyzed, drawing on her navigation knowledge.
"Anyway, it's an incredible mountain, right!"
Luffy rubbed his chin, demonstrating his usual terrible naming ability, and smiled.
"Forget it, I don't expect you to understand," Luen thought.
Nami looked helpless, then turned to Luen with a smile.
"But Luen, you're really amazing; you know so much about navigation too."
Nami's eyes sparkled.
Nami's dream was to draw a world map of the entire world, and navigation was also her passion.
Nami felt incredibly happy to be able to discuss such topics with Luen.
"After all, Nami, your dream is to draw a world map, and you're so skilled in navigation, so of course, I had to study it a bit too."
Luen looked at Nami's sparkling eyes, his lips slightly upturned.
Immediately, he silently loaded Nami's Navigation Skill entry in his mind.
Hmm, he hadn't expected this entry to have such a use! He could discuss it more with Nami in the future.
Luen looked at the affection in Nami's eyes and stroked her little head.
With Luen and Nami's current Bond, this entry was, of course, instantly loaded.
Nami was deeply moved, her beautiful eyes glistening.
"So, there's no turning back now?"
Zoro looked at Reverse Mountain, a beast-like grin on his face.
"Of course, to conquer the Grand Line, there's never a way back! We can only move forward!"
Luen stood on the deck, looking at the Grand Line entrance already within reach, and laughed arrogantly.
"Helm! We're being sucked in by the current!"
Seeing that they were about to enter the towering canal, Nami immediately began to give orders.
Because of the strong currents from the Four Seas, steering the ship could no longer be done by Usopp alone.
Sanji also rushed over to help Usopp steer.
"Buzz! Whoosh!"
Luen stood at the very front of the deck, his arms suddenly pulling at the smoke.
"White Smoke Launcher!"
Luen activated his Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability at full power.
Large amounts of smoke enveloped the Going Merry, and then, he pulled sharply!
Having already loaded Nami's Navigation Skill, Luen could use this method to clearly perceive the ship's course.
Combined with his Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability, he successfully guided the Going Merry onto the canal rising from Reverse Mountain.
"Boom!" The Going Merry rode the towering current, rushing towards the summit!
"Yahoo! We're in!"
Luffy stood on the deck, spreading his arms and shouting.
"Grand Line! Yahoo!"
Sanji and Usopp excitedly put their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing loudly.
"That's an amazing ability, Luen! We felt like the ship's hull was about to break just now, but thankfully your smoke helped."
Sanji and Usopp danced a meaningless dance, laughing at Luen.
"Capacity increased! Born for the Sea activated, Conqueror's Haki increased!"
Looking at the illuminated display and listening to Usopp and Sanji's exclamations, Luen's mouth curved into a smile.
Indeed! Conquering mighty nature can also increase one's Capacity, which is spiritual power, thereby strengthening Haki!
Moreover, the extent of the increase was related to whether one was the main leader during the journey through the Grand Line.
Taking the Roger Pirates, who conquered the entire Grand Line, as an example, Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, and Scopper Gaban were undoubtedly the three main combatants of the Roger Pirates.
During the process of conquering the Grand Line, these three gained the most spiritual power, with Roger gaining the most, making him the strongest Haki user of that era.
As for Buggy and Red-haired Shanks, who were apprentices at the time, their gains were negligible.
Haki, one could say, was the materialization of spiritual power; the stronger the spirit, the stronger the Haki!
"Hahahaha!"
Luen spread his arms, reveling in the vast ocean energy brought by the surging current, laughing unrestrainedly.
With the Born for the Sea entry, all this ocean energy could be transformed into nourishment to strengthen Luen's spiritual power, thereby making Luen's Haki even stronger!
"Let's just rush up!"
Nami excitedly jumped onto Luen's back, pointing to the summit of Reverse Mountain with a bright smile.
"Amazing! We're above the clouds!"
Luffy grinned broadly.
"Luen, look, we're at the top of the mountain!"
Nami excitedly hugged Luen tighter.
"Mm!"
Luen held Nami, a smile playing on his lips.
"Boom!"
The Going Merry burst out of the ascending current, gliding through the air.
"Yahoo!"
Luffy held his Straw Hat and roared. "Swish!"
The next moment, under the force of gravity, the Going Merry fell again, landing on the descending current,
which was the confluence of currents from the Four Seas, flowing to its destination: the Grand Line!
"Once we go down, it's the Grand Line."
Luen looked at the faintly visible ocean beneath the clouds and laughed aloud.
"Dracule Mihawk is there!"
Zoro gripped Wado Ichimonji, his eyes gleaming.
"ALL BLUE is there!"
Sanji's mouth curved into a smile.
"The proof of a brave Marine Warrior!"
Usopp rubbed his nose.
"To draw a perfect World Map."
Nami lay on Luen's back, feeling the rush of air, her eyes sparkling.
"I see it! This is the greatest sea in the world, the Grand Line!"
"ONE PIECE is out there somewhere in the ocean ahead!"
Luffy held his Straw Hat, grinning a huge smile.
"ONE PIECE, huh."
Luen's lips also curved into a smile.
On the road to becoming king, Luen also wanted to see what this ONE PIECE truly was.
"Charge!"
Luffy yelled excitedly.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Going Merry entered the cloud layer.
"Yahoo!"
Nami felt the air currents in the clouds, feeling very comfortable, and shouted happily while hugging Luen.
"Woah!"
Just then, a low roar echoed faintly through the clouds.
"Did you guys hear something?"
Zoro frowned.
"Sound? It must be the wind, the terrain here is very special, after all."
Nami, still excited, chuckled.
"No, that's not just the wind."
Luen's mouth curved into a smile.
"Eh?!"
Nami believed everything Luen said implicitly.
Hearing Luen say that, Nami immediately panicked a little, clinging to his neck and refusing to let go. "Luen, don't, don't scare me."
Nami's face turned a bit pale.
"Hey! Look! There's a mountain!"
Sanji, who was sitting on the mainmast observing the distant route, broke out in a cold sweat and shouted.
"A mountain? How can there be a mountain? Going down from here, through Cape of Twin Crows, it should be an endless ocean."
Nami said incredulously.
"That's not a mountain; it's a whale."
Luen's Observation Haki spread out, already detecting the presence of the island-sized whale ahead, Laboon.
It was truly massive, its body truly as large as an island, not at all smaller than some colossal Sea Kings.
Luen's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.
Woah!
The next moment, the Going Merry burst out of the clouds, and Laboon's colossal form appeared before everyone.
"Wh-what do we do! It's a whale as big as an island!"
Usopp was so scared that tears streamed from his eyes.
This wasn't a lie he'd told; it was truly appearing before him!
"What do you think? Should we fight it?"
Luen rolled up his sleeves.
"No! Luen, don't fight it!"
Nami was almost in tears.
Luen looked at Nami's delicate expression, feeling her hug him tighter, and a smile curved at his lips.
Teasing Nami was quite fun.
"But it's blocking the way. If we keep going like this, we'll crash."
Zoro gripped Wado Ichimonji. Can it be stopped?!
"Wait a minute, it's like a wall up close. We need to find its eyes first."
Sanji, demonstrating his intelligence, shouted.
"That's right! It's so big, and we're so small, maybe it hasn't even noticed us!"
Usopp exclaimed, delighted.
"The left side looks like we can get through!"
Zoro pointed to Laboon's left side.
"Hard a-port!"
"No, the current is too strong, Luen, can you help again with your Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability?"
Usopp and Sanji rushed to the helm, shouting loudly.
"No need to be so troublesome! I have a good idea!"
Luffy, seeing his companions struggling so hard, seemed to have a "light bulb" light up above his head and rushed into the cabin. "A good idea?"
Everyone except Luen looked a bit puzzled.
What kind of idea could Luffy have?
Luen, however, smiled.
Luen had originally intended to solve it with his Smoke-Smoke Fruit, but Nami was clinging to him tightly.
Compared to enjoying Nami's soft and boneless body, he'd rather let Luffy mess around.
"Boom!"
The next moment, a cannon blast rang out.
A cannonball exploded directly on Laboon's body.
The recoil from the impact slowly brought the Going Merry to a stop.
"A cannon?!"
Seeing Luffy's so-called good idea, Usopp was so scared that tears streamed from his eyes, and Zoro and Sanji rolled their eyes.
Nami clung to Luen, burying her head tightly against his back, seeking a sense of security.
"Clatter!"
"How about that? It stopped, right!"
Luffy walked out excitedly, only to see the Going Merry's sheephead ram into the wall in front of him.
"My VIP seat!"
Luffy's eyes immediately became bloodshot.
"It didn't react to the cannon!"
"Is it too slow to react?"
"Who cares, let's get out of here while we can!"
Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji, seeing that the whale made no move, were overjoyed and immediately prepared to row away.
"You bastard! What did you do to my VIP seat!"
"Bang!"
Just as they thought they were out of danger, Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi fist suddenly stretched out, heavily smashing into the whale's eye.
"!!!"
Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji's eyes welled up with tears.
"Wuwuwu."
Nami simply collapsed onto Luen's back, feigning death.
"Woah!"
Under attack, Laboon's enormous eye turned towards the Going Merry.
"What's up! Bring it on!"
Luffy, fueled by anger, rolled up his sleeves and roared.
"Bang!"
"Can't you just shut up?!"
Zoro and Usopp kicked Luffy, sending him flying.
"Hahahaha, it's alright, it's alright, just leave it to me."
Luen comforted Nami while trying to suppress his laughter.
Luffy was truly a genius.
"Woah!"
"Hmph!"
Laboon opened its enormous mouth and sucked fiercely.
"Boom! 823"
A terrifying suction force pulled the Going Merry, along with a vast amount of seawater, towards its mouth.
"Ah!"
Luffy, who had just been kicked by Zoro and Usopp and lost his balance, was immediately sent flying.
"I can't die! Gomu Gomu no Mi!"
Luffy stretched his Gomu Gomu no Mi arm, grabbed one of Laboon's teeth, and then climbed up Laboon's gigantic body.
"Ah!"
Nami shrieked, but then a cloud of smoke caught her.
"White Smoke Launcher!"
Luen's lower body completely transformed into smoke. Using the smoke jet as propulsion, he carried Nami out of Laboon's giant mouth and onto Laboon's head.
"I almost thought I was going to die."
Nami collapsed weakly into Luen's arms.
"Click!"
Laboon's mouth snapped shut.
"Luen! Nami! You're okay!"
Luffy saw Luen and Nami and exclaimed in surprise, but then he clutched his head and shouted again.
"Zoro! Usopp! Sanji! You bastards! Spit out my important crewmates!"
Luffy glared, shouting at Laboon.
"Calm down, Luffy, there's actually more to this whale's interior than meets the eye."
Holding Nami, whose legs were still a bit weak, Luen looked at a valve on Laboon's body.
"Come on, they're fine."
Luen opened the valve, revealing a man-made passage inside.
"Eh? There's a passage inside the whale's body?!"
Nami was also stunned.
"Sugoi! Did you perceive it with Observation Haki, Luen?"
Hearing Luen say that, Luffy immediately relaxed and excitedly jumped into the passage.
"Let's go, we'll find Zoro and the others at the end."
Luen's mouth curved into a smile.
His Observation Haki had already detected the presence of those he was looking for.
It was Vivi, Princess of Alabasta.
"Zoro and the others? Watch this!"
Hearing the news of his companions, Luffy recklessly charged towards the door, headfirst.
"Yah! What was that?!"
Vivi and Mr. 9 shouted.
"White Smoke Launcher!"
"Hmph!"
A cloud of smoke caught Vivi, while Luffy and Mr. 9 slammed open the door leading to Laboon.
