Chapter 153 The Enlightenment goes from heaven to sea!
Ron's actions are generally based on complete intelligence, so in most cases he can predict the direction of events to a certain extent.
It was as if the success of this radical plan was based on Crocodile's own arrogance.
but,
He was not arrogant enough to believe that his prediction would be successful. He had taken insurance measures.
That is, the submarine voyage of the Enlightenment.
[Submarine: When the number of bound souls on the Flying Dutchman exceeds 100, you can conduct deep-sea diving.
Navigation takes advantage of the ocean's undercurrents, but the Flying Dutchman does not change the environment inside the ship. 】
After destroying Whiskey Peak, the Inspiration turned to other strongholds.
Ron returned to the third floor and started preparing for the lottery.
The total revenue from Whiskey Peak was 8 million beli, and part of the treasure was given to Nami, Nokigo, and Zoro.
The remaining ones plus the original ones make up exactly 10 million chips.
When the silver wheel rotates, a ray of light is thrown out.
{Extracted-Soul Trap}
'Yes, that's what I want. ’
Ron clicked on the light curtain to check,
.
【Soul Trap】
[Origin: Magic Dimension]
[Type: Magic]
[Effect: Consume a magic energy crystal to launch a soul-stirring magic circle with a range of 100 meters centered on the caster. The duration is 30 minutes.
When a living being dies within the coverage area of the magic circle, the soul that appears will be absorbed by the magic circle.
It gathers around the caster in the form of a ball of light. If there is no container to store it in a short time.
The soul light group will be freed from its shackles and return to its original soul shape.
Note: This magic can only be used on ordinary souls, and will not work on powerful souls. 】
[Consumption: Mana Crystal]
[Note 1: I decide your life or death! 】
[Note 2: Do not use this magic frequently for a long time to avoid being detected by high-risk units such as Hades and Death. 】
.
‘That’s it. For the next clearing of the stronghold, only 100 souls are enough.
However, it is also worth noting that there seems to be a god of death in this world. ’
Ron thought about what Sauron saw near death in the original timeline, and the subtleties in Brooke's description of his experience.
He wasn't sure if that was true, but he knew he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
so,
100 souls are enough for the Enlightenment to activate its submarine function!
As we all know,
People with demonic abilities are afraid of the sea. If the prediction fails, Crocodile will attack.
Ron will start the bubble coating machine on the ship, coat the ship and directly activate the submersible function, using the sea to get out of the crisis.
What is needed now is just 100 souls.
I believe that the employees of Baroque Works will be very happy to 'help' this good man.
then,
When the Enlightenment heads to the predetermined battlefield, the submersible function is already in a state that can be activated.
More precisely,
They encountered abnormal weather. No, it should be said to be normal Great Route weather.
First came the blizzard,
According to Ron's understanding, the red warning for blizzards in his previous life would be triggered if the amount of snowfall reached more than 15 millimeters within 6 hours.
And here,
He encountered blizzard weather with up to 32 millimeters of snowfall in one hour.
Equivalent to one hour of sailing, there will be a layer of snow on the deck that is as deep as a boot.
This is no longer a red alert,
Instead, all crew members must be dispatched to shovel the snow, otherwise the ship may be buried by the snow.
The cast iron knight roared and shoveled away pieces of snow with his big sword, pouring it into the white sea.
Holding the dragon talisman, Nuoqi used the flames to melt the thick snow in the corners that were difficult to clean, turning it into flowing water and flowing down the boat.
Ikarem, Bonnie, and Weiwei were responsible for clearing the heavy snow on the deck.
The most special one is probably Zoro. He holds three shovels and shovels snow like a snowplow.
"What the hell kind of weather! Can it actually snow like this!"
Nami was wearing a down coat and looked up at the sky speechlessly. The blizzard seemed to be coming endlessly.
"This is what the Grand Line is like. Haven't you seen it before coming here?"
Panting, Weiwei dumped the snow overboard with a shovel and couldn't help but complain.
"No, it must be good luck."
Ron jumped off the third floor, and he cleared all the snow from the top of the third floor.
"If this continues, I don't know how many plants will die in the plantation!"
Nami looked very worried, but then her expression changed and she felt another change in the weather.
Suddenly there was a flash of light in the sky where heavy snow was falling, followed by thunder.
Not long after, the heavy snow was suddenly replaced by strong winds, and the icy wind was mixed with raindrops.
It's obviously not just the strong winds.
"Ah! What the hell is this place!"
As a navigator, Nami grabbed her hair in a state of collapse: "It was sunny a few hours ago, and then there was a sudden blizzard.
It has been raining for more than two hours, and now it has turned into a strong wind. It may even rain heavily.
How can the seasonal weather here be so chaotic! "
"It's normal."
Weiwei, who was next door, took over the topic and secretly slammed the shovel into the ground.
While resting, he said: "In this sea area, whether it is the wind, sky, waves or clouds, it is unbelievable.
The only thing that can be trusted is the pointing of the record pointer and the permanent pointer. "
"Is that so?"
Nami was a little surprised and confused. At this time, the weather suddenly changed again.
It wasn't the expected heavy rain, but hailstones the size of a human head!
It was like a downpour covering the entire sea area!
"Hey!"
Sauron's expression changed, and he waved three shovels to chop away the hail that covered the heads of several people.
But more hail fell from the sky, as if it was going to kill everyone present.
"It's really troublesome. In this case, let's try the new function."
Ron started the bubble coating machine without hesitation, and a huge coated bubble quickly appeared from the second mast position.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Enlightenment was enveloped.
Then, he used Submersible!
The originally gloomy weather became even gloomier, and twisted pale figures suddenly appeared on the deck of the Enlightenment.
"What is this? Ghost...ghost!?"
Nami's eyes trembled, and she subconsciously squeezed into Ron's arms.
But she only occupied half of the space, and the other half was taken away by Weiwei, who was turning blue.
"What the hell! Why is there a ghost on the ship!?"
Weiwei's voice was trembling, as if she wanted to cry, and her hands firmly grasped Ron's collar.
Nami didn't care why Weiwei came over and screamed in panic.
"Hey, your willpower is too weak, you are just ghosts."
Zoro looked disdainful and turned to look at the helpless Ron: "This is your new function."
"Yeah, I didn't know that would happen either."
Ron nodded, and as his eyes swept, those twisted pale figures jumped off the deck of the Enlightenment.
Then, the three-masted ship suddenly staggered
The front deck quickly sank toward the sea, as smoothly as a dragon swimming into the sea.
Boom--!
As the stern of the ship submerged into the sea, a strange sound like a pop became the final tone on the sea.
The original hailstorm was blocked by the sea water.
Everything in the world suddenly became quiet, and the noise on the sea was swallowed up by the water.
"Is this... going into the sea!?"
"That coating machine!?"
Nami and Weiwei looked shocked, while Ron remained standing silently.
Um,
The feel seems to vary.
at this time,
The bright sunshine completely disappeared on the Enlightenment, leaving only a huge spot of light shining on the seabed.
"Under the sea?"
Zoro walked to the railing of the ship with great interest, and Ikarem subconsciously held his breath.
It's like going through a wormhole and entering another blue planet in a parallel universe.
Under dim light,
All kinds of strange fish swam in and out of the bubble coating, following the sinking of the Enlightenment.
Clusters of coral rocks crowded into the sky above the warships and bloomed above their heads.
Current depth - 100 meters.
There is no so-called water pressure, and the sea water is blocked by bubbles.
The air that comes in when the bubbles are generated can maintain oxygen reserves for at least an hour.
And Ron also felt a strange feeling.
On a spiritual level, he seemed to be connected to the Enlightenment beneath his feet.
Through the link, you can see the hulls linked by the 100 twisted pale figures, stagnant in place and motionless.
Seems to be waiting for instructions from the captain.
With a thought in Ron's mind, the Enlightenment started to launch in the sea 100 meters deep.
"Is this a new feature?"
Nami came back to her senses in time, glanced at Vivi who looked shocked, and silently stepped on Ron's feet.
The latter retreated amidst the sound of pain. After Weiwei was awakened, she also retreated with a blushing face.
Careless,
I was so frightened just now that Ikarem was far away again.
I leaned this way subconsciously.
Weiwei, ah Weiwei, you can't relax like this, this guy is not a good person!
Weiwei thought so and left quickly.
Didn’t you guys squeeze in here on your own?
Ron shrugged helplessly and began to study the submarine function of the Enlightenment.
The principle of submersible navigation is that 100 souls provide sinking force and underwater power, and maneuvers such as steering are slower than on the sea.
After all, the wind at sea is not as ubiquitous as the water under the sea.
And, control can be handed over to Nami.
In much the same way that Ron was sensing it now.
In Nami's research, after the Enlightenment entered the sea, it could rely on the giant map and her own talents.
Accurately find any nearby ocean undercurrents and move at ultra-high speeds.
It can be said,
Except for the oxygen problem, it's almost a perfect submarine.
However, the submersible function becomes invalid after 1 hour.
Ron checked the light curtain and found that the souls were too exhausted and could no longer provide sinking force.
That is to say,
It has cooling properties and should be used roughly once every 24 hours.
If enough souls are filled, the cooldown time seems to be reduced accordingly.
but,
Considering the warning in the note, Ron still didn't do anything rashly.
The Enlightenment, which had lost the traction of its soul, was half-floating on the sea again, but it was because of the existence of bubble coating.
According to the original description, bubble coating can give ships the ability to reduce various pressures.
This even includes the buoyancy force exerted by sea water on the ship.
but,
Although the bubble coating machine on Ron's boat is easy to operate.
But in terms of effect, it seems not as good as a coated sailboat coated by a coating craftsman.
‘Weather? Or something else? ’
Ron thought this, but then gave up on further investigation.
after all,
This is not the sea area near the Shampoo Islands. The bubbles in the original book will disappear if they are separated from the weather environment of the Shampoo Islands.
At least it's still operating normally, which is pretty good.
"Zoron, pop the bubble and sail normally."
"oh."
As the voyage continued, the Enlightenment finally arrived at the scheduled battlefield.
darwin island,
An island only half a day's flight from the mainland where the Kingdom of Alabasta is located.
At the same time, it is also a necessary place for many routes because of the need for supplies.
More precisely,
Ron didn't hide the size of the Enlightenment, nor the voyage he took.
The same goes for Bonnie's existence.
so,
If you are the kind of person who is very good at calculation, you will easily calculate the time when he will need supplies next.
That is Darwin Island.
so,
When the Enlightenment appeared in the waters near Darwin Island, the sea was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
There were only a few merchant ships approaching nearby, and their appearance was unremarkable.
The weather on the Grand Line is extremely treacherous, and there is a danger of capsizing if you are not careful.
but
After all, Alabasta is a huge kingdom, and sea trade is profitable enough.
Where there is a market, there will be profit-seeking businessmen, so everything seems normal.
However,
Ron 'saw' the armed men dormant on the merchant ships.
A ghost appeared inside a merchant ship and opened vision sharing.
So he saw,
I saw members of the Baroque Working Group, talking excitedly.
It's probably something like making meritorious deeds.
Of course, judging from their number and strength, they are just measures to prevent the Enlightenment from escaping.
The real danger is on the island.
but,
Ron didn't care.
He just cared about whether anyone from the Baroque Working Group showed up.
Since it appears, it means the plan was successful.
As we all know, the main theme of Baroque Works is mystery, so no one inside can know who the boss is.
Only Nico Robin knew it was Crocodile.
The reason why Crocodile did this was also very simple. There would be many surprises in the long process of seeking a country.
He couldn't let evil be linked to the apparent hero of Alabasta, Crocodile, the Desert King.
otherwise,
It is impossible to replace the royal family as the true ruler of the kingdom.
And if it cannot replace the royal family, it will be impossible to achieve Crocodile's long-cherished wish.
Find the whereabouts of the three ancient weapons-Pluto's battleship!
That is to say,
When the Baroque Works is out in force, Crocodile won't be there.
And, if he appears in person,
Then Ron should see a line of yellow smoke flying over from the island now.
'The plan was a success and Nicole Robin seized the opportunity very well. ’
Ron came to this conclusion and launched thunderstorm magic on the Enlightenment.
Thanks to the previous conscious reserve, the stock of magic crystal can last 2 times.
Three complex and gorgeous magic arrays appeared, unfolding in the form of rings at Ron's feet, waist and abdomen, and above his head.
Five magic energy crystals turned into powder and flowed from the palm, and the violent magic energy was poured into the triple magic circle.
Those complicated patterns lit up quickly until the three magic arrays all shone.
Thunderstorm - recharge,
Chaotic battle-opening!
Sorry everyone, I'm in a bad state today. Some parts are wrong no matter how I write them. There is only one 4k chapter left. I will try my best to pick it up tomorrow.
