Reverse Mountain, the East Blue's End
The New World.
That is, the sea area in the latter half of the Grand Line.
The Red Line divides the Grand Line into two sections. Crossing the Red Line, where the World Government's "Mary Geoise" or "Fish-Man Island" is located 10,000 meters below the sea, leads to the second half of the Grand Line, which is the New World. The Four Emperors are the rulers of the New World, making it the most difficult and dangerous sea area.
It is also the location of the One Piece, "One Piece," in "Laugh Tale."
All Four Emperors have now received the urgent news and Wanted Poster delivered today.
In a stretch of sea not far from the entrance to the New World.
At this moment, an enormous three-masted giant sailing ship was sailing.
The bow is round and painted silver-white, making it look like a giant white whale from a distance—extremely large and magnificent.
Even in the turbulent waters of the New World, the ship sailed as if on a calm sea.
With overwhelming force, it broke through the giant waves and, like a force that overwhelmed the Sea, sped towards the Unknown Waters in the distance.
On either side of it followed two ships, making a total of four foreign vessels.
These four ships are replicas of the giant ship, only in different colors.
From a distance, it looks as if a giant whale is swimming on the Sea with four baby whales.
This Fleet is the main Fleet of the "Whitebeard Pirates," one of the Four Emperors.
The one in the very center
The large ship was the Moby Dick, the personal sailing vessel of Whitebeard Edward Newgate, the world's most powerful man at the time.
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard was sitting casually on the deck, shirtless, leaning against the bow of the ship.
On either side of him, several young nurses dressed in sexy pink uniforms were busy changing his IV drips.
He himself looked at Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had a golden punk hairstyle and was nicknamed "Phoenix".
"Marco, what's so important that you're in such a hurry?"
"Look! It's news about your old friend Golden Lion."
"Oh! The Golden Lion?"
"I think this guy disappeared almost twenty years ago!"
"I hope it won't cause a world-shaking news story as soon as it comes out!"
"Gulala lala"
Smiling, he took the newspaper Marco handed him and began to read it.
He stopped laughing as he looked at the newspaper, but burst out laughing when he saw the wanted Wanted Poster Kuta tucked inside.
"The old man has finally been defeated by the young man!"
"Gulala lala"
Then he threw away the newspaper, picked up a wine jar from the side, and drank it down.
He wasn't particularly concerned about the sudden appearance of Kuta; he just sighed inwardly that yet another old fellow had fallen at the hands of a young man, becoming someone else's stepping stone.
"Pops, stop drinking."
Marco looked at the Whitebeard and shouted, "He's still on an IV drip!"
"Well! Didn't that old man Golden Lion, leave?"
"I have to see him off!"
"Gulala lala"
Clearly, this was a convenient excuse for him to drink.
Marco Kuta the Wanted Poster on the ground for a moment.
"So young!"
Wano Country, Onigashima, the stronghold of Kaido of the Four Emperors.
Totto Land Whole Cake Island (Totto Land), the headquarters of Charlotte Linlin, Four Emperors.
Red-Hair, Four Emperors.
Shichibukai...
Pirates, marines, and individual factions who are interested in the situation on the Sea and the news all received news today about the death of Golden Lion and the unprecedented 500 million bounty on Kuta.
Their reactions varied.
Shock, excitement, curiosity, indifference, murderous intent, apathy...
Regardless of their emotions, they remembered it—the East Blue Pirates crew that had just set sail.
A person named Silver Hair.
A young man who is too young for his age.
A man who offered a staggering 500 million Beli as a bounty on his second voyage.
A man who set sail and killed an old legend, dreaming of building his own legend.
Chapter 66 Reverse Mountain, the End of the East Blue
"Hey-hey!!"
"Keep it up! If you can't even handle this much, how will you become a master of the Sea!"
"Zoro adapted to this level of pressure after only a year at the Dojo!"
On the middle deck of the Freedom.
Kuta stood at the bow of the ship, his Space Domain unfolding, and pressure acted on Ahua Trio, especially Ahua and A-Luo.
These two guys improved quite quickly after eating Devil Fruit.
Meanwhile, with the help of the infinite stamina Radish, A-Tao also entered the domain training.
"Kalkale!"
Indigo leaned against the door of the driver's cab, watching Ahua Trio with great interest.
"That's amazing! It can even control stress."
"Kuta, newsbird!"
Kuina lay on the recliner, sipping tea, watching the messenger bird fly by overhead, then turned and called out to Kuta.
"Oh!"
Kuta withdrew his gaze from Ahua Trio, looked at the messenger bird standing on the railing at the bow of the ship, walked over and spoke.
"Give me the latest newspaper!"
As he spoke, he handed over one hundred Beli.
The news-delivering bird picked up the money with its beak and put it in the red leather bag hanging in front of it. Then it took a newspaper from another bundle hanging on its body and handed it to Kuta.
As it watched Kuta take the newspaper, it bowed to Kuta, spread its wings, and flew towards its next guest.
Kuta turned around, leaned against the railing, unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and began to read.
"Yes! About the Golden Lion."
He knew from the headline that this news story was specifically about him.
Really.
Below the title is all his information, and information about the Golden Lion.
In the end, he was even hailed as a new legend.
Kuta stroked his chin, head bowed in thought.
"A legend?"
"Since you put it that way, then I'll accept it."
He set sail with the goal of becoming the strongest and a legend.
Although this was just one of his reasons for going to sea, it was still a reason, wasn't it?
Then, as he turned to the next page, a Wanted Poster suddenly fell out of it.
He quickly took it and examined it closely.
It turned out to be his own.
This time, the Wanted Poster is much clearer.
"500 million? That's not a small amount. It seems the Sea has truly made a name for itself this time!"
"Kuta, let me see."
"Here, take it! It's all old news, nothing interesting to see. By the way, how much longer until we reach Reverse Mountain?"
Kuina took the newspaper and casually replied, "About two more days!"
"Oh!"
Despite being the closest town to Reverse Mountain, Loguetown is actually just the closest island.
In fact, even the fastest voyage from Loguetown to Reverse Mountain takes several days.
Furthermore, the closer you get to Reverse Mountain, the more the weather changes, and the slower the voyage will be.
Wow! 500 million.
Kuina looked at Kuta's bounty and exclaimed.
"What's the big deal? You defeated Smoker in Loguetown, so your bounty will go up."
"Yes! That's true."
Kuina put down her newspaper, stood up, walked to Kuta's side, put her arm around Kuta, rested her head on Kuta shoulder, and looked at the distant sea with him, her eyes filled with excitement.
We're almost at the legendary Grand Line.
On this ship, only Indigo wouldn't feel too excited!
After all, this guy has seen it all before.
Two days later.
Reverse Mountain.
The surrounding waters experience extremely currents and climates due to their unique geographical location.
This makes it impossible for ordinary Navigator to predict wind direction, and the ocean currents in this area, under the reefs and waves, often form whirlpools.
If you're not careful, the ship will sink and everyone will die.
There is only one sea route leading to the Reverse Mountain Artificial Canal.
Therefore, every ship that manages to reach this point and aspires to sail the Grand Line is a sea warrior prepared for death.
As the Freedom approached.
From afar, one could see the dark, endless clouds that stretched to the sky. Due to the Reverse Mountain, the clouds were clustered together, tumbling up and down, and every now and then, one or two white or red Inazuma, like giant dragons, would appear.
Kuta stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the magnificent clouds in the distance, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Then he turned and shouted to the back, "Ahua, go help A-Tao take the helm, A-Luo, watch out for the ocean currents, we'll rush through here in one go and head straight to the artificial channel."
"Learn."
"Oh! By the way, Indigo, you should go help too. The currents here are too strong; I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to handle the rudder."
"Understood, Captain."
With a few "plop" sounds, Indigo entered the wheelhouse.
