Chapter 18

"Oh my god! How can the seawater still climb up?" Ryan and his group exclaimed.

In the distance, you can already see the seawater flowing upstream towards the sky. Here, Ryan can finally share his ideas with everyone.

Ryan pointed to the map and said, "Look, this is the water from all over the world of Upside Down Mountain, and the outlet is the intersection of the Grand Line. You can become the Pirate King by going around the world along the Grand Line."

Ryan paused and continued.

"Then if we go down here directly, will we reach the end directly?" Ryan pointed in the opposite direction of the intersection of the Grand Line.

"Is this possible?" Bailey asked doubtfully.

"Someone has proposed this idea before, but it was finally proved to be impossible, because it requires going down from the back of Upside Down Mountain. The height of Upside Down Mountain is said to be 10,000 to 20,000 meters and the back of Upside Down Mountain is straight without any leverage. Going down here is a dead end."

Looking at Ryan who was excited, Lori poured cold water on him.

"It turns out that there are geniuses like me in this world." Ryan seemed to have found a soulmate.

"Do you understand what I'm saying? You'll die if you go down here!"

"I know, I didn't say I was going to die, I just wanted to take a look." Ryan smiled and spread his hands.

Ryan certainly knew that he couldn't reach Raftel from here. Not to mention the terrain of the Upside-Down Mountain, even if he could get there, he didn't know where Raftel was.

As the last section of the sea in the New World, the weather there is even more unpredictable. Is it possible that no one except Gol D. Roger has gone to that sea?

There must be, but only Roger came back alive and successfully found Raftel, so he is the Pirate King.

However, Ryan's curiosity really wants to know whether he can reach the last sea in the New World directly from here.

Just like knowing that there is a dead end ahead, most people will stop and observe carefully. Some people are even willing to pay the price of their lives to try.

Ryan doesn't want to die, but Ryan is very curious.

Seeking knowledge and exploring are always the truest nature of human beings.

Moving forward with a yearning for the unknown, maybe this is adventure.

"Move forward to the unknown!" Ryan stood at the bow and pointed to the Upside-Down Mountain.

Everyone smiled knowingly: This is their captain.

Ryan's ship was getting closer and closer to the Upside-Down Mountain, and a current attracted the ship to change direction and rush into the waterway from bottom to top.

"The ship is really heading to the sky!"

Everyone in the group pointed around like curious babies, and even Lori, who usually spoke less, joined the team.

The ship went to the sky with the current, and gradually you could see the clouds in the sky passing by.

Ryan sighed in his heart at the wonders of nature. Such terrain can appear, worthy of being a pirate world.

Soon the rising current reached its peak and the ship soared directly into the sky. Ryan and everyone on the ship lost their center of gravity due to inertia and were thrown into the sky.

Ryan quickly looked to the lower right, and saw nothing but clouds in the sky and towering mountains.

Ryan sighed in his heart: "Let's see next time."

Then everyone returned to the ship again, and the ship also entered the sea route to the Grand Line and went downstream.

It was faster and more exciting when going down.

Ryan wondered if the whale Lab was waiting for him below.

The ship also rushed out of the island smoothly.

So far, the Ryan Pirates officially stepped into the Grand Line and made their names known to the world.

Suddenly at this time, Bailey suddenly shouted: "We, the Ryan Pirates, are here on the Grand Line!"

Ryan looked at Bailey speechlessly without saying anything.

Kidd on the side said: "Do you think it's because Bailey stole Ryan's lines and then got angry."

Kira: "It should be."

Looking at these two stinky boys who said bad things about him behind his back, Ryan decided to love them more in the future.

At this time, a flying slash came towards Ryan!

Ryan's observation Haki sensed it immediately, and he drew out the sword at his waist and slashed back with a flying slash.

In an instant, the two slashes collided in mid-air and were at a stalemate. At the collision point, a short vacuum zone appeared on the calm sea surface.

"Who!"

"Bloody Swordsman-Ryan, I've been waiting for you for a long time." A voice came from the distance.

On a small boat that looked like a coffin in the distance, a man with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, a black hat with white fluff on his head, a burgundy patterned shirt, and a cross knife hanging on his chest stared at Ryan and the "Ace" in his hand.

Seeing the characteristics of the person coming, RyanEn recognized him almost instantly, the man who would be called the world's greatest swordsman in the future, Joracol Mihawk.

Because of his sharp eyes like an eagle, even the strongest warriors would be terrified, so he was called "Hawkeye".

Ryan began to get excited. He didn't expect to meet Hawkeye here. Being able to fight with the future greatest swordsman would definitely help his sword practice as long as he didn't die here.

Looking at his swordsmanship that has reached 99999 points, the breakthrough will come today!

"I've been looking forward to you for a long time, Hawkeye Mihawk."

Both of them saw the strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

"Let me weigh your weight, Mihawk!"

After covering his whole body and the sword in his hand with the armed color domineering, Ryan took the lead and stepped on his feet like an arrow from a string, killing Hawkeye with all his strength.

"Come on!"

The two began to fight in the air, and the speed was so fast that Kidd and the others couldn't see the two people's moves clearly, and only Bailey could vaguely see the situation of the two people fighting.

Kira said nervously: "Bailey, how is Master Ryan?"

"Equal."

After fighting hundreds of moves in the air, the two retreated to their own ships.

Ryan's sword-holding hand was trembling slightly and blood was flowing all over his body. The white robe he was wearing had gradually turned red.

At this time, everyone discovered that Ryan had more than a dozen criss-cross wounds on his body, and there was a deep wound on his back that could be seen to the bone.

This was the first time Ryan had been injured so badly since he came to this world.

Hawkeye was more seriously injured, with wounds all over his body, especially on his hands and chest. The wound on his chest was only two centimeters away from Hawkeye's heart.

"What was the name of that move just now!" Hawkeye asked in a deep voice.

"Hundred-step flying sword."

It turned out that Ryan used the Hundred-step flying sword when he fought with Hawkeye just now.

Hawkeye was also hit by this move for the first time, but with his own super combat intuition, he touched the flying sword with his hand at the moment of being stabbed in the heart, so the sword that should have hit the heart was deviated by two centimeters.

Thinking of the scene just now, Hawkeye couldn't help but tremble, he almost died!

And the wound on Ryan's back was also caused by Hawkeye. The Hundred Steps Flying Sword has a fatal weakness that the sword can't come back once it goes out. Ryan knew it was not good when he saw that the sword didn't pierce Hawkeye's heart.

In order to get the sword back, Ryan also resisted Hawkeye's slash and got the wound on his back.

Fortunately, Hawkeye was seriously injured just now, so the power of the sword was far from enough, otherwise if Hawkeye slashed with this sword in his prime, Ryan would be cut in half directly.

The duel between swordsmen is so simple and dangerous, especially the close combat is the most thrilling. If you are not careful, you may lose a part of your body.

Ryan also found that the weakness of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword was far greater than he had imagined, especially when fighting against a master, the opponent's reaction could be completely avoided. If Hawkeye's Observation Haki could predict the future, Ryan should be a corpse now.

Ryan decided not to use this move before it was completely perfected.

"Ah!"

Ryan sighed slightly in his heart. After all, this was created according to his own ideas and had special feelings. Unfortunately, the idea was good, but the reality was too cruel!

But now was not the time to be stunned. Ryan smiled at Hawkeye on the opposite side.

"The next move will determine the outcome!"

"Good!"

Ryan and Hawkeye's fighting spirit reached the peak.

This move.

It not only determines the outcome, but also determines life and death!

Both of them were making adjustments and constantly accumulating momentum, trying to make their next move more powerful.

Ryan was both excited and afraid. In the battle just now, Ryan found that both of them were now on the threshold of the great swordsman and were only one step away from breaking through.

"Remember to rescue me." Ryan quickly explained.

Ryan's aura reached its peak.

Hawkeye did the same

"God evade!"

"Slash the sky!"

The two figures collided in mid-air.

Ryan even released the domineering aura and murderous aura.

Hawkeye also used another power to fight against Ryan's domineering aura and murderous aura.

The sky seemed to be torn apart.

Ryan and Hawkeye had broken through their limits. This move was the strongest move they had ever made.

The people who were still watching the battle from a distance found that a huge wave was coming. This was the wave caused by the aftermath of the battle between Ryan and Hawkeye, which caused the sea water to surge.

"Turn quickly!" Lori screamed.

"It's too late." Bailey pulled out the double axes behind him and shouted.

"Open the ground."

The sea water was directly cut into two and passed through the ship.

The four people who had just escaped saw Ryan and Hawkeye falling into the sea together.

"Not good."

Bailey, Kidd and Kira quickly jumped into the sea to rescue Ryan.

At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded.

"Kira, save me!"

It turned out to be Kidd.

Maybe Kidd just forgot that he had the ability.

Kira quickly swam to Kidd and picked him up.

After a while, Bailey saw someone holding one of his arms and returning to the boat.

The two were Hawkeye, who had just fallen into the sea and was unconscious.

Kidd said angrily: "How did you save him? He is the captain's enemy."

"The two fell together and I saved them. If Ryan was awake, I would have asked me to do the same."

Kidd stopped talking.

Because he knew that Ryan's character was indeed someone who would do such a thing.

At this moment, a huge roar came.

The four of them covered their ears, and then they saw a scene that they would never forget.

A whale as big as an island appeared in their sight, and before they could react, they were swallowed up, and the people and the boat entered the whale's belly.

After doing all this, the whale dived into the sea and disappeared.

The sea surface finally returned to its previous calm.
