Chapter 23: Confirming the route, Whiskey Peak
"My employer, how do we deal with this guy?"
Luo Wen pointed at Mr.9.
Now that Weiwei has become the big money sponsor, the decision regarding the insignificant Mr. 9 will be left to her.
"He is my companion after all, and he usually takes good care of me."
Weiwei looked hesitant. She got along well with Mr. 9 and she didn't want to kill him just like that.
Angel, Princess Vivi, you are an angel!
Mr.9 looked at Weiwei, tears of joy flowed from his eyes, and his heart was filled with immense gratitude.
"Just cripple him and prevent him from reporting any news within seven days."
Weiwei turned her back to Mr. 9 and made a decision with a frown on her face.
In order not to affect her great cause of saving the country, it is better to let Mr. 9 suffer a little.
"understood."
Luo Wen nodded. This kind of small matter was easy to handle.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether this minor character is released or not, because Crocodile has already learned Vivi’s identity.
The information she found about Crocodile was just bait for Robin to fish.
"Will you hate me?"
Luo Wen walked up to Mr. 9 and looked down at him.
Mr.9's eyes were filled with tears and his head was shaking like a wave drum.
Hate Luo Wen? How dare he!
Luo Wen nodded with satisfaction and stepped on Mr. 9's limbs to break them.
Click! Click! Click! Click!
"what!"
pain!It hurts so much!
Two lines of hot tears flowed from Mr.9's eyes, and his whole face was squeezed together, wearing a mask of pain.
"Don't be a pirate anymore. It will kill people."
Luo Wen spoke calmly, as if it was just a normal warning.
"Wow, I'm never going to be a pirate again!"
Mr.9 had tears in his eyes and nodded desperately while sobbing.
Being a pirate is too dangerous, he wants to be a good guy!
Mr. 9 felt that he would need a lifetime to heal the trauma left by just half a day.
Luo Wen nodded with satisfaction. He had saved another lost lamb, which was a great merit.
After placing Mr. 9 and some food on the small boat he came in, Chengfeng gradually sailed away.
……
"Let's go to Whiskey Peak first and meet up with my guard captain."
"Go to Alabasta again and save my country."
Vivi's guard captain is still undercover in Whiskey Peak, and she needs to meet up with Igram first.
"By the way, are you ready to record the pointers?"
Vivi asked Nami.
This is the first hurdle for a new pirate to enter the Grand Line. Without a recording pointer, the new pirate will quickly get lost in the Grand Line and eventually die in the sea.
"Because there are huge amounts of minerals on some islands along the Grand Route, the magnetic field of the entire route is disrupted."
"In this case, only the recording pointer that is not affected by the magnetic field can be trusted."
Vivi explained to Nami.
Most of the newcomers to the Grand Line didn't know about these things, but she had seen quite a few.
Nami took out an ordinary compass, and sure enough, it was affected by the magnetic field. The needle was spinning randomly and was completely useless.
"Lowen, do we have a record pointer?"
Nami gave Luo Wen a questioning look. She was from the East China Sea and really didn't know these things.
Nami was not disappointed, and Lowen was indeed well prepared.
"Don't worry, we've already prepared it."
Luo Wen looked calm and threw two pointers to Nami.
This is the legacy left by the Arlong Pirates, an ordinary recording pointer, a permanent pointer leading to the Sabaody Archipelago.
The record pointer is their preparation for the great route, and the permanent pointer is their preparation for returning home.
Nami looked at Luo Wen. How come this man was so reliable and never let anyone down?
“There are no scales, only the magnetic force of the island indicates the direction. It’s amazing!”
Nami looked at the record pointer in her hand.
Completely different from the compass and the needle, this was unfamiliar territory for her.
"The record pointer needs to determine a course at the Twin Capes, and it cannot be changed afterwards."
"Also, every time we pass an island, we have to recharge the magnetic field. The charging time varies from one day to one year."
With Vivi's help and explanation, Nami also understood how to use the record pointer and decided on a route with Whiskey Mountain as the first stop.
"Then let's head to Whiskey Peak!"
With a clear direction, Nami cheered up.
Guided by the recording pointer, the Wind Rider headed towards Whiskey Mountain.
At the beginning, the sky was clear and the sea was normal.
But when the ship completely left the Twin Capes, the climate suddenly changed drastically.
Not only was there fog on the sea, but there were also extreme weather events such as strong winds, heavy rains, and heavy snow.
"Change direction, we are off course."
What made Nami most upset was that she just didn't look at the record pointer for a moment, but the direction of the ship almost reversed.
"The sea here is like this. Both the climate and wind direction are unpredictable and cannot be trusted."
"Only the direction of the record needle remains unchanged. It is the only thing a navigator can rely on."
Weiwei is no longer surprised.
It is impossible for them not to stray a few times every time they go out to sea.
Nami was sweating profusely after hearing this and quickly directed the ship to turn.
"Turn the sail to the wind direction, catch the wind from the starboard side, turn the rudder 15 degrees to the left to avoid the iceberg, spread the triangular sail and adjust the angle at all times..."
Fortunately, the discovery was made in time and Nami's command was very effective, so the Feng-Ying quickly returned to the correct course.
"There are challenges at every turn. If you are not careful, you will fail. Is this the Grand Line?"
Nami lowered her brows and muttered to herself.
My common sense of navigation was completely overturned on this ocean.
The navigation skills that we were so proud of have lost their former effectiveness in this sea.
After the continuous blows, she felt a little frustrated.
Lowen was on the deck, taking in the wonders of nature, when he suddenly noticed that Nami was in a low mood.
"Be confident, you can do it."
"Fighting with people is fun; fighting with heaven is fun!"
Lowen stroked the top of Nami's head and instilled confidence in his navigator.
With Nami's talent for sailing, these difficulties are nothing.
It's just that we have just entered the Grand Line and were caught off guard, which is why we are so panicked.
"You did a really good job. You are the most talented navigator I have ever seen!"
Dashigi was full of admiration and gave Nami a thumbs up.
This was not a consolation for her, she did feel Nami's talent.
When faced with extreme weather conditions, they have extremely keen perception and can give precise commands.
She was even more amazed by him than the navigator of the navy ship.
"That's right. When it comes to sailing talent, I would call you the best!"
Vivi was also amazed at Nami's talent. Compared with those top navigators, the only thing she lacked was time.
Nami's eyes lit up as she listened to the three's encouragement.
It's numerous fun to fight the destiny!
Fighting against the dangers of the sea is the joy of a navigator.
She will follow Lowen and conquer this sea.
Nami ignited her passion and commanded the ship to move forward. The heavy rain and snow could not stop the progress of the Fengzhi.
"It's the island!"
Nami let out a breath and felt more cheerful.
“What a huge cactus!”
Dashigi exclaimed as she looked at the cactus-like island.
"Arrived safely, this is Whiskey Peak!"
Weiwei was equally happy.
Every successful voyage on the Great Route is a beautiful thing worth celebrating.
Looking at the island in front of him, Lowen smiled.
There will be a lot of interesting people on this island!
