Chapter 588: Breaking through by force x Ending

"Why are they running so fast?" Luffy pouted in dissatisfaction.

"This is normal! We are pirates after all!" Zoro walked forward and said as a matter of course.

"That's it!" Luffy suddenly realized.

Usopp pointed to the bustling port ahead and said, "Stop talking! Look! It's so lively here!"

"Ah! Look over there, there are so many cannons!"

Everyone looked in the direction Usopp pointed.

I saw that a tunnel with a diameter of about 100 meters was dug deep under the [Red Earth Continent] where it bordered the sea. The tunnel was deep, but not dark. The lights on the top of the tunnel illuminated the tunnel as if it were daytime.

At the entrance of the tunnel, there is an endless stream of ships coming and going. They line up in an orderly manner, waiting to pay the fee to enter the tunnel, or to sail directly out of the tunnel.

"So many ships!" Luffy shouted.

Hundreds of ships of all sizes appear in the field of vision at the same time, which looks very shocking.

It was the first time for Luffy, Zoro and Usopp to see such a prosperous port.

As for Sanji, he is a prince after all, and has seen much more of the world than Luffy and the other two.

As everyone was looking carefully, the Red Earth Continent Tunnel Management Office urged: "Pirate ship over there, don't block the channel, pass quickly!"

Luffy and others woke up as if from a dream and quickly maneuvered the ship to dock at the port.

"What should we do next? Should we go directly through the Red Continent Tunnel and enter the Grand Line?" Usopp looked at Luffy, seeking the captain's advice.

Luffy took a look at the safe and unchallenging [Red Earth Continent Tunnel] and said disdainfully: "I don't want it! [Upside Down Mountain] is more interesting!"

Hearing this reason, Usopp immediately became angry. He pulled Luffy's collar and shook him back and forth.

"Are you stupid, Luffy? You don't want to take the safe route, but insist on going to the dangerous place."

"But...but..." Luffy still looked reluctant. What he was looking for was an exciting adventure. If he took this shortcut, the journey would be very boring.

Sanji walked up to the two of them and stopped them, "Okay, Usopp! You seem to have forgotten something important. You need Bailey to pass through the [Red Earth Continent] tunnel!"

"So what?" Usopp asked back.

"Do we... still have Beley?" Sanji glanced at Usopp and asked a soul-stirring question.

Usopp's face froze, and then he remembered that they were a poor pirate group.

He said stubbornly: "As I remember, we still have more than 100,000 Baileys left!"

As he spoke, Usopp quickly took out his [Infinite Machine] and checked the toll for the [Red Continent Tunnel].

[Merchant ships: 5% of the total value of the goods. If the value is less than million berry, million berry will be charged.]

[Passenger ship: charged per person, 20,000 Baileys per person, free for passengers under 1.2 meters.]

[Pirate Ship: Charged per person, 100,000 Baileys per person! ]

【...】

After seeing the price, Usopp's face turned pale instantly.

"This is discrimination! Blatant discrimination! Why are pirates charged so much?!"

Usopp yelled.

Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy came over curiously.

After the three of them looked at it, Sauron said calmly: "It seems that we can only give up!"

Luffy seemed very happy, patted Usopp on the shoulder and comforted him: "Well, well, Usopp, isn't this great?"

"What a ghost!" Usopp complained. He had seen the turbulent waterway of [Upside Down Mountain] with his own eyes. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. This is no joke.

Usopp looked up at the security checkpoint in front of the [Red Continent Tunnel] and considered the possibility of forcing his way through.

You know, their current identity is pirates, so it shouldn't be excessive to do things that are in line with their identity as pirates.

Just as he was seriously considering the possibility of forcing his way through, he heard a loud shout.

"There are pirates trying to force their way through!"

Everyone followed the sound.

Many people looked like they were enjoying the show.

"Tsk tsk, that's the Renn Pirates! Now we're going to have something interesting to watch!"

"Hey, why didn't the security checkpoint staff stop it?"

"Boy, this is your first time! You'll know soon!"

"Captain Lunn of the Lunn Pirates has a bounty of 600 million berries, but I don't know how many meters he can advance."

"I guess less than twenty meters!"

"I guess thirty meters!"

"I guess..."

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Lord Lunn is passing through, everyone get out of the way!" On the pirate ship, Lunn's brothers laughed wildly.

Looking at the ships that were trying to avoid them, the pirates smiled more and more complacently.

The security checkpoint ignored this and allowed the "Ren Pirates" to pass through.

Seeing this scene, Usopp's eyes lit up: "Is it that simple? Then..."

Before he could continue thinking, the next moment, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji felt a chill suddenly rising from the soles of their feet.

Luffy's muscles tensed up instantly, Zoro's hand instantly grasped the hilt of the sword, Sanji's face became serious, and Usopp subconsciously took a few steps back.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from above the [Red Earth Continent Tunnel].

Under the surprised gaze of the four people, the [Ren Pirates] were sunk in an instant.

"What is that?" Luffy pressed his straw hat with a serious expression.

"What...what a terrible power!" Usopp's heart was pounding, and he murmured, "Fortunately! Fortunately!"

"【Kingdom of the Netherlands】!" Zoro looked extremely serious.

Sanji took a long puff of his cigarette and thought to himself, "As expected! I knew... the Kingdom of the Netherlands that completely defeated the Vinsmoke Family wouldn't be a simple character."

Just as everyone was looking away, a bloody mouth suddenly appeared and swallowed the wreckage of the [Ren Pirates] ship into its stomach.

"Sea beasts? The [Netherlands Kingdom] actually tamed sea beasts!" Usopp's eyes widened.

"How awesome!" Luffy's eyes sparkled.

This is the nth time that Luffy and the others have been surprised.

The appearance of the [Ren Pirates] seemed like a farce and did not cause any waves.

In less than a minute, order was restored in the [Red Earth Continent Tunnel].

After the farce was over, Luffy smiled and said, "It's time for us to leave too."

"Yeah!" Usopp and the others did not object.

after an hour.

The [Merry] appeared in front of [Upside Down Mountain].

The turbulent sea water and the narrow waterway!

Usopp swallowed nervously and confirmed again: "Luffy...are we really going to enter the Grand Line through here?"
