Chapter 34: Climbing Upside Down Mountain

. . . . . .

Sky Breaker.

Just as everyone was worried, a stream of light flew towards the Sky Breaker.

"captain!"

"Lotte!"

"Lotte."

【叮，恭喜宿主完成选择，奖励：高级霸王色*1、顶级体魄*1、限量版卡普狗头帽*1、仙豆*1000、破空号升级为高级、系统空间50*50。】

"Cough cough cough! I'm fine!" As he said that, Lotte took out a magic bean from his pocket and swallowed it with his head tilted back.

In just a short while, Lot's injuries had gradually recovered.

But his face is still a little pale.

'Merge all the cards!'

【Ding! Fusion successful! 】

For a moment, Lot's momentum became even stronger again.

"Lot, how are you?" Nami ran to Lot and looked at him with a distressed look on her face.

Lot raised his hand and touched Nami's head, then said, "Nami, it's okay. I gained something from the battle with Garp."

Hearing this, the other four people also felt relieved.

Lotte glanced at everyone, "What did you gain from this actual combat?"

Seeing the four people nodded.

It seems that they have also received a lot of improvements.

"Nami, thank you for your hard work in getting the Skybreaker out safely."

After hearing what Lot said, Zoro and others realized that it was not Lot who controlled the ship to fly, but Nami who controlled the ship to fly away?

Clo frowned and looked at Lotte with some confusion.

Nami spoke up, "As soon as I got on board, Lot gave me a devil fruit. I am now the user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit."

As she spoke, Nami's whole body turned into elements and she became a cloud and appeared in front of everyone.

Originally, Lot planned to go to Sky Island to snatch Eneel's fruit and give it to Nami.

But since the system rewarded a Yunyun Fruit, Lot naturally gave the Yunyun Fruit to Nami first.

Lot believes that the natural type fruit is more suitable for Nami.

One reason is that Nami is born with the ability to sense the weather, and with the Cloud-Cloud Fruit she can control and change the weather.

The second reason is that the Cloud-Cloud Fruit can also be a very powerful offensive fruit. It can turn into dark clouds to discharge electricity, and it can turn into various clouds above the sky island.

The third reason is that Nami is a navigator, and the Cloud-Cloud Fruit can hold up the Skybreaker and control its navigation. Although it is not as good as the Golden Lion's Floating Fruit, it is more labor-saving than Loto's Electromagnetic Fruit.

To sum up, Lot gave the Cloud-Cloud Fruit to Nami.

Cloe and others nodded. This could explain why the ship could still fly in the air even though it was so far away from Lot.

"Alright, guys, cheer up, our next step is to enter the Grand Line. The East China Sea is as peaceful as a cradle compared to the Grand Line. Are you mentally prepared?"

Lot looked around at everyone, and everyone's face was more or less filled with excitement.

"Nami, put the ship on the sea. It would be boring to just fly to the Grand Line. I want to see how magical the Upside-Down Mountain is that blocks nearly 80% of the ships from entering the Grand Line."

After listening to Lot's words, Nami controlled the clouds under the ship to descend little by little, and finally lowered the ship to the sea surface.

...

"Lieutenant General Karp, why don't we intercept Lot and his gang at Upside Down Mountain?" A soldier expressed his confusion about Karp's decision.

Garp replied with his right little finger poking his nose: "Hahaha, you also saw that the little devil's ship can fly. We can't intercept it. Who knows, it may have already flown to the Grand Line."

The soldier asked tentatively: "Then who are we?"

His meaning was already very clear.

Garp shook his head helplessly, "Let's go back to Marinford. Our vacation is over."

...

However, Lot and his crew were slowly moving towards the Upside-Down Mountain on the sea.

As time passed, everyone was digesting the experience of that battle in the past few days.

At this time, the sky became gray and a drizzle began to fall.

"Hey! There's a mountain ahead!"

Everyone hurried out of the cabin, and before their eyes appeared a series of towering red mountains.

Nami murmured, "This must be the Red Earth Continent."

"What? This is the Red Earth Continent?" Zoro looked at the huge red peak in front of him with some doubt.

Cloe didn't have any special expression. He was always so calm and gave people a gentle look.

Ling Er looked at the huge red obstacle in the direction of the bow, hid behind Nami and grabbed the corner of her clothes with some fear: "Nami, let the ship fly quickly, or we will hit the red soil continent if we continue like this."

At this time, Zoro brought a wine barrel from somewhere and placed it among the crowd.

Lot, who had read the original novel, instantly understood Sauron's intention. This sense of ritual seemed useless, but it could allow everyone to firmly engrave their dreams in their hearts and also bring good luck.

I saw him put one foot on it and said, "My dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman."

Then Lotte also put his right foot on it, "My dream is to overturn this world and let everyone in the world live freely."

Then it was Clo, "My dream is to see the ugliness of this world and help Lot build a peaceful world."

Ling Er: "My dream is to become stronger, and then follow Lotte and lend him a helping hand!"

Nami: "My dream is to draw all the ocean maps in the world."

She glanced at Lotte out of the corner of her eye, and said in her heart, "Always stay with Lotte."

Then everyone raised their feet, "Oh!!!"

Seeing that the Skybreaker was about to hit the Red Earth Continent, Nami calmly took out a sketch and placed it on the wine barrel.

"Look, this is the Upside-Down Mountain, the only way for the four seas to enter the Great Route..."

After listening to Nami's explanation, everyone found it a little unbelievable, even Cloe's expression showed some wonderfulness.

"Nami, since you said there's a 90 percent chance of the ship being destroyed and everyone dying, I think we should just fly over there." Ling'er was scared, she didn't want to sink to the bottom of the sea in obscurity.

Nami said confidently, "Don't worry. If we really have to collide, Loto will also take action, right?"

Lotte nodded and said, "Also, don't think that the Skybreaker is so fragile. It won't be damaged even if it hits the Red Earth Continent."

Nami stood up and walked to the bow, squinting her eyes and said excitedly: "Milasan, look, that's the waterway of Upside Down Mountain."

Everyone walked to the bow deck excitedly.

Zoro looked incredulous, "Are you kidding? It's so narrow! How is the Skybreaker going to get through?"

Ling Er looked at it, his legs trembling a little, but he still defended Nami: "Green algae head, you have to trust our navigator."

He turned to look at Nami, "Right, Nami-chan?"

Nami jumped up and punched Zoro, "Of course, I can take you anywhere you want to go!"

As the Skybreaker continued to move forward, a storm began to rage and many whirlpools appeared on the surrounding sea.

And a river channel flowing upstream gradually appeared in front of everyone.

Zoro's eyes widened as he spoke: "You're kidding, right? The river is really flowing upwards."

It was the first time for Clo to see the Upside-Down Mountain, and he was secretly amazed. "It should be that the ocean current was flowing towards the Red Earth Continent, and it happened to encounter a gap, so the seawater flowed upward along the river. The ocean currents that did not squeeze into the river formed whirlpools around the Red Earth Continent."

Clo pushed his glasses habitually and continued, "Have you noticed a strange phenomenon? This river seems to have been mined artificially, perhaps for the purpose of allowing people from all over the world to enter the Grand Route."

After hearing what Cloe said, Lotte stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Hey! Cheer up! We're almost on the waterway!"

Nami's voice rang out, interrupting the thoughts of Loto and the others.

Lot used electromagnetic force to control the Sky Breaker and sail it towards the river.

Ling Er turned into a ball of fire and floated around on the boat, exclaiming, "I...we are really climbing a mountain! It's amazing."

The Red Earth Continent is very high, so high that people from all over the world may never be able to climb up to it in their lifetime. It is so high that the people living there look down on the world like gods. It is so high that even in the past eight hundred years, no one has ever truly seen its entirety.

The sea water flows along the river to the top of the mountain, creating waves on the top of the mountain. Under the sunlight, the rainbow is so colorful.

Zoro looked at the top of the mountain and muttered in his heart: "Over this mountain, we can reach the Grand Line, and Hawkeye Mihawk is there."

Nami: "The weather there is unpredictable, there are countless treasures, and there are endless sea maps to draw."

Ling'er: "Is that the Grand Line that Loto mentioned?"

Crow: "That is a world even wider than the East Sea, with the most complicated human hearts and struggles."
