Chapter 186 Leading Mission
"Rhinoceros Beetle!" Nami, Usopp, and Zoro all opened their mouths wide with pointed teeth.
"Are you going to catch bugs?" Usopp called out.
"Oh... so impressive." Luffy looked at the Merry.
The Merry was equipped with a hang glider and transformed into the shape of a chicken.
"This is the flight equipment of the Golden Merry." Usopp introduced proudly.
"It seems like I can really fly." Luffy shouted with his eyes shining and his mouth wide open.
"Isn't it great?" Usopp exclaimed, "They helped build it."
As he said this, he pointed at the gorillas.
"geigei~"
The crew of the Ape Brothers raised their hands and made monkey gestures.
"Oooooh~" Luffy also made a star above his head, imitating the gorilla's actions.
The two sides had a strange exchange.
"Still playing." Sanji complained.
"Yeah, the more I watch, the more uneasy I feel," Nami complained.
"That means it should be made into a pigeon head." Zoro looked at the Merry and said, "Pigeons can fly better than chickens, right?"
"Who said that again? Idiot." Nami snarled through her fangs.
“Aren’t they all the same? Whether it’s a chicken head or a pigeon head, they’re all pigeons. Be careful or they may lay eggs for you to eat.” Wang Hao said jokingly.
"What do you mean?" asked Zoro.
"You don't need to understand." Wang Hao grinned.
"Okay, we're about to set sail," Usopp called out, "Are you ready, brothers?"
A group of gorillas were dancing.
Long Aotian and the other two followed Liu Yuting onto the Death Rose, and Wang Hao followed Sauron and the others onto the Golden Merry.
Luffy placed the stolen golden package in front of Kulikai.
"Hurry up and get on board. There's no time left." Kulikai said while smoking a cigarette. "Do you want to miss this great opportunity to go up to the sky, you idiot?"
"Yeah." Luffy grinned and nodded, "Thank you for the boat."
"If you want to thank someone, thank them." Kulikai said, pointing at the ape brothers.
"Thank you." Luffy waved his hand, "This Hercules is for you."
"Really? Are you really going to send us?" A group of apes danced happily on the boat. "You are such a good man."
"Okay, let's go and get on the boat first. It's almost too late." The gorilla shouted.
"We lead the way, you just follow closely," said the ape.
"Luffy, hurry up." Usopp shouted on the Merry.
"Saruyama United Army." Kulikai shouted.
"Oh……"
"Don't take it lightly. We must protect these guys to the end even if the sky falls." Kulikai shouted.
"Oh!"
"Okay, let's go!" Luffy jumped onto the Merry.
"Little brother, let's say goodbye here." Kulikai said as he walked to the shore.
"Yeah." Luffy looked at Kulikai at the stern.
"But there is one thing you must understand," Kulikai said, "Golden Bell and Sky Island, no one in the past has been able to prove that they do not exist."
"Yeah." Luffy nodded.
"Some people may laugh at me and say these are made-up nonsense, but what's wrong with that? This is the romance of a man."
"Romantic," Luffy repeated.
"That's right." Kulikai looked at the slowly receding ship and said, "Thank you so much for the gold nugget. Be careful and don't fall from the sky."
"Bye, diamond-faced uncle." Luffy said goodbye.
"Thank you for your care, Uncle Kulikai." Nami shouted.
"Uncle, there must be a golden bell in this world." Usopp shouted.
"Uncle Diamond-faced, don't mess around." Luffy shouted.
"I want you to mind your own business." Kulikai replied.
……
The four ships headed out to sea, heading south.
"Listen carefully, it's 7 a.m. now. According to current calculations, we will arrive near the current at 11 a.m. Just like what Dad told you, the current that goes from bottom to top erupts at a different location each time, so we must arrive early to have time to accurately detect its location." Tarzan shouted, "Because we are leaving later than scheduled, are you listening to my explanation?"
Of course not, Luffy is playing Nan Nan Mi Tiao.
Suddenly, the sky ahead darkened.
[Ding, the mission is triggered, Super Runner. Run in front of the Merry, and reach the White Sea to complete the mission. You will be rewarded with an S-level reward, Flying Thunder God Technique.]
"Fuck, Flying Thunder God? I'm so dizzy!" Wang Hao looked at the mission description in shock, "I'm going to die, let's fight!"
"Boss, something bad has happened." One of the gorilla's crew members shouted while holding a telescope.
"What's wrong!" The gorilla looked towards the southwest.
"The darkness is coming towards us from the southwest. It's the Jidi Cloud." said the younger brother.
"Really? What time is it?"
"Ten o'clock in the morning, showing up earlier than expected."
"That's terrible, ape, is there any way?" asked the gorilla.
"Send out the sea exploration submersibles and immediately go down to explore the location of the ocean currents." the ape ordered.
A group of divers jumped into the sea.
"Wow, roar..." The ape took the microphone and started sonar detection.
It didn't take long to get feedback from divers.
"Reflected sound waves confirm that a large ocean current has appeared at 12 o'clock."
"A huge creature has been detected at 9 o'clock. It should be a sea king."
"There are waves at 10 o'clock that are in the opposite direction of the current. It is likely to be a huge whirlpool."
"That's it. Turn the rudder to the 10 o'clock position. That's the precursor to an explosion. Head towards the vortex and don't retreat." The gorilla shouted.
The waves began to change, and the four boats headed towards the ten o'clock direction.
"This is a foreshock, everyone be careful," the gorilla shouted.
"Don't be surprised if I do something strange later." Wang Hao said as he looked at the people on the boat who were communicating nervously.
"Brother, it looks like we can't go wrong this time." the gorilla shouted.
"The scale of the outbreak is also large, and all conditions are in place," the ape replied.
"Can we go to the sky?" Luffy asked.
"Yes, that's okay."
A pair of flying claws grabbed the Merry.
"How do we get there?" Luffy asked.
"Let the vortex's trajectory take you there," the ape replied.
"What, what should we do?" Nami asked.
"Follow the vortex." The gorilla said, "Once you enter, as long as you don't turn the rudder, you can easily reach the eye of the vortex."
The four boats, one towing the other, slowly sailed into the huge whirlpool on the sea.
"Such a big vortex?" Nami was numb.
"I'm almost swallowed up..." Usopp was about to cry.
"I didn't even hear that our ship would be swallowed up." Nami shouted, holding her face.
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect Nami and Robin." Sanji shouted.
"This is the first time I've seen such a big vortex." Robin was also surprised.
"No, I don't want to. I want to go back. I don't want to go to Sky Island anymore." Usopp looked upset.
"Give up, Usopp, it's too late." Zoro complained, "Someone's heart has already flown to the sky."
