Chapter 8 The Spectacular Upside Down Mountain

The Golden Merry carried everyone on the ocean near the entrance of the Great Line.

Rogge also introduced some of his origins to Luffy and others in more detail.

"Just like this, I was born an orphan. Although I don't have a family, I will treat you all as my closest relatives from now on." Rogge said to Luffy and others in the cabin.

"Well, Rogge. Everyone is best together." Luffy said kindly.

Rogge could really feel what a kind person Luffy was. As long as he is dating you, he is absolutely sincere.

The others, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp have different personalities, but they all share the incomparable loyalty to friendship.

"Since my ability is suitable for being a gardener, I will definitely try my best to help everyone do everything. Whether it is transforming some plants into tools or promoting the growth of suitable food, I will work hard %." Rogge Said to Luffy and others.

Nami picked up the oranges produced by the orange tree in her hand and said while eating: "Okay, you can eat the orange trees every day from now on. You don't have to worry about there being no fresh fruit on the ship."

Sanji drank a cup of black tea and said: "Well, I need your help to promote the growth of many ingredients. Since you can control the growth of plants, that's great. There is no shortage of vegetarian dishes on the ship, and they are available in every season. Always available. Also, the cooking I made is pretty good, although it’s a bit too simple as the first meal to welcome you.”

Roger used a spoon to scoop a plate of chicken soup on the table in front of him into his mouth. It was really delicious.

Sanji is indeed a superb chef.

"Well, it's really unparalleled deliciousness. A simple chicken soup is so delicious. I'm so happy to be able to eat Sanji's cooking here every day from now on." Rogge praised it not only out of politeness, but also from the bottom of his heart. 35xs

"As long as you like it." Sanji said with a smile.

Luffy had already eaten several plates of chicken soup, and he finished a glass of orange juice made from oranges picked from Nami's orange trees.

"Well, Nami. Now that we have passed the lighthouse, how can we officially enter the Grand Line?" Luffy asked, touching his lips.

Nami finished chewing the orange and said, "This is what I want to say."

Nami then stood up and placed a navigation map on the table.

"Look, the entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain."

Everyone present exclaimed: "Mountain?"

"Yes! Look here. The navigation light is indeed erected on the Upside Down Mountain in the Red Earth Continent."

On the map, if you continue sailing west from Rogge Town, you will have to pass a mountain range.

"How could it be like this? Then we are going to hit this mountain range?" Usopp said after looking at the map.

Nami corrected: "You see there is a canal here."

"Nonsense, there are canal boats and they won't go up." Usopp said.

"But that's how it is drawn on the picture." Nami said.

Zoro looked suspicious and said: "There is nothing wrong with this map. It must have been obtained from Bucky."

Usopp is at the helm at this time.

"Why are you working so hard? The current seems to be very strong." Usopp struggled to control the rudder of the Merry.

Nami was stunned for a moment, then looked at the map carefully and said: "It seems that the currents from the four seas converge on the mountains here, generating huge propulsion, so ships enter through these four channels, and then enter the Grand Route. ”

Everyone understood the problem.

"But Upside Down Mountain is a winter island, and the current will hit it and sink to the bottom of the sea. The 35xs Golden Merli will be smashed into pieces, so it must enter the entrance."

"Well, I'll go out and take a look." Nami said immediately.

Then she walked out of the cabin, followed by Luffy and the others.

Rogge walked to Usopp's side and said, "Let me help you."

"Just in time, the current seems to be strengthening now," Usopp said.

Rogge knew very well that the rudder seemed to have been broken once. So be careful.

Luffy rode on the sheep's head carving on the front of the Merry, looking up, down, left and right at the surrounding scenery.

A majestic continent ahead blocked the Merry's path.

The mainland towers into the clouds, and combined with the storm in the sky, it can be said to be extremely spectacular. This is the famous Red Earth Continent.

Zoro took out his telescope and looked.

I saw a gap in the sea, a river of water flowing up the mountain.

"It's shocking, the ocean is literally climbing."

I saw huge currents carrying seawater from the sea to the slopes of the mountains.

Nami said to Usopp and Rogge at the helm: "Pay attention to the helm."

Rogge paid special attention to the helm at this time and said: "Usopp, slow down."

Usopp is impatient, but he slowly takes control of the situation.

The Golden Melly stabilized its hull and headed towards the entrance.

"Turn right rudder."

Rogue and Usopp turned the ship's rudder to the right with great difficulty.

But the current current is really exaggerated.

The entrance only allows one sailing ship that is not too exaggerated to pass through, so this is a very dangerous place.

"Usopp, I need to go out now. Could you please help me?" Rogge said.

Sanji was outside the cabin and walked in to help Usopp at the helm.

Rogge walked to the bow of the Melly, where he aimed the vine whip at the huge door frame at the front entrance.

There is a row of huge door frames made of rock at the front entrance.

"Vine whip!"

The vine whip hit the first huge door frame and tightly wrapped around the top of the door frame.

Rogge tied the tail of the vine whip to the sheep's head carving on the Merry.

After looking at it, Zoro asked: "Can this be done with vines?"

"Absolutely no problem, this vine is comparable to an iron chain." Rogge said.

With this vine whip tied to the huge door frame, the Meili's driving suddenly became much better.

The ship finally approached the entrance amid the bumps and drifts.

After entering the entrance, the Melly drove more smoothly, and the sea current pushed the Melly upwards in a straight line. Rogge took back the vine whip.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally in!!!"

All six people cheered on the deck.

The front of the Meili tilted upward, moving straight forward like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate.

Roger stood near the bow of the ship and looked at the scenery ahead. Such spectacular views are truly unforgettable. The adventures of myself and Luffy also soared into the sky, entering a new realm with vast horizons.

There were still stormy clouds in the sky, but as they continued to march, they gradually came closer to the light.

"Ahead, there are clouds."

After traveling violently for a while, the Mellie got into the clouds.

There were clouds and mist all around, but the Melly was still moving forward.

"It's like ascending to heaven." Rogge said with emotion.

Luffy patted Rogge on the shoulder and said, "Oh, the Grand Line is just ahead."

The Merry finally broke through the clouds and headed straight for the top of Upside Down Mountain.

Looking down, there are endless clouds, and the Mellie seems to be sailing towards the sky.

The canal leading up to the top of the mountain makes even the sea water shine like diamonds due to the sunlight.

Seeing that the Melly was about to reach the top of the mountain, under the impact of the violent currents, the Melly was thrown into the sky mixed with countless waves, like diamonds flying in the sky.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed for a while.

At this moment, the Mellie was on top of the top of Upside Down Mountain, and the spectacular scenery all around was unobstructed.

The Meili is above the Upside Down Mountain, surrounded by an endless sea of clouds below. Four huge canals flow from the top of Upside Down Mountain to the top of the mountain.

There is another one that brings the sea water gathered by the four ocean currents to flow downward again.

The Merry quickly fell into the canal downwards.

There was a splash of waves, and the Melly slid down the downward canal quickly.

This speed is much faster than the previous climb.

Look ahead at the rapid downward direction.

Everyone on board the Merry was thinking about his or her goals.

Zoro looked ahead, thinking Mihawk was here.

Sanji looked ahead, thinking that this was where the blue sea was.

Usopp looked forward, thinking this was proof of the great sea warrior.

Nami looked forward, thinking that there were endless maps waiting for her to draw.

Luffy looked ahead, thinking this was the place to become the Pirate King.

Rogge looked ahead, thinking that this was a great adventure for him and a path to experience that would make him stronger.
