Chapter 41: Sudden Encounter

After sending away the admiral who always wanted to watch other people's fun, we just need to arrange the next work in the Konomi Islands and the 16th branch of the Navy, and then we can set off.

Of course~

There is nothing to arrange.

The Konomi Islands have always been under the management of Nokigo, and everything has been on the right track. We just need to continue to follow the development plan he has formulated.

Nothing will happen even if he is away for a few days.

And the new civilians... don't worry about it. It has happened so many times. I believe that Cocosia Town can handle it by itself.

As for the 16th branch of the Navy... the training tasks for the marines have been increased, so that they stay there to train honestly. For other things, let Udo take care of it.

As the general manager of the 16th branch of the Navy, when he and Robin are away, all matters in the branch are handled by Udo.

Although he has no special features, Udo is still quite reassuring in terms of guarding the house.

On the contrary, the pirates who were just caught not long ago need to be reminded to keep a close eye on them, so as not to relax and cause a riot.

Nami will go with him this time.

It is more convenient to take Nami with you when you go out to make money.

And Kuina... came to the Marine Branch to hone her swordsmanship and increase her knowledge, so she will go out with you this time to see the world.

As for Robin, she will follow him as usual.

He is used to it.

So, apart from Nami, all the guys with some strength in the Marine Branch 16 have gone with him. It can be said that at this time, the defense strength in the Marine Branch 16 is indeed very empty.

For this reason, he was worried about any accidents, so he also took Kuro away.

Although this guy has been quite honest recently, but Kuro does not believe that he, as a pirate, will really be indifferent when he sees this great opportunity.

It is better to keep him by your side to keep an eye on him.

After all, Kuro is still quite powerful. If he escapes secretly, the Marine Branch 16 will probably not find out.

Of course~

After all, the Marine Branch 16 is still too short of talent!

After everything was arranged, Xia Che took everyone on the dreadnought battleship Sabre seized from the Klick Pirates and set off for the Upside-Down Mountain.

There are three ways to enter the main stream of the Grand Line from the Four Seas. The first and safest way is to use the elevator built by the World Government on the Red Earth Continent.

This is also the way for the navy, nobles and ordinary people to go to the main stream of the Four Seas. It is safe and convenient, but the fee is relatively high.

Of course, if it is the navy, the headquarters can reimburse.

But...

They will not take this route this time.

Please, they are now on the ship of the Mok Pirates. Isn't it a trap to take the elevator?

The second way is to enter and exit the doldrums, but there is neither wind nor current, and the entire sea surface is absolutely calm. If there is no power wheel, once a sailboat enters here, it will lose power and be trapped and unable to move.

At the same time, there are a large number of super-giant sea kings living here. Once ordinary people encounter them, they can't even run away.

Although he could pass through the doldrums with his strength, it was too tiring, so forget it.

If he drove a navy warship, he could take the above two routes.

And the third route, which is also the mainstream route in the pirates, is to enter through the Upside-Down Mountain on the Red Earth Continent.

But this road is very dangerous. Not only is the water turbulent, but there are also perennial storms. If there is no excellent navigator leading and a sturdy pirate ship, it is easy to fall into the mountain wall and die before climbing to the top of the mountain.

Of course~

They have excellent navigators and sturdy ships!

It is very suitable to go to the Upside-Down Mountain!

As for other coatings that pass through the seabed or fly through the sky, they have no way to achieve it for the time being.

Lying on the beach lounge chair, Xia Che, with his hands on his head, sighed, "Technology, you still have to have your own technology!"

Then he stretched out his right hand and took the orange juice that Robin squeezed for him.

Not to mention that it is a huge sailing ship with three decks, it is really spacious!

Comfortable!

"Rogue Town is ahead, do you want to stop here?"

"No need." Hearing Nami's call, Xia Che waved his hand, "Let's not disturb Smoker now, let's go quietly, and visit him when we come back."

"..."

I guess that guy doesn't want to see you again!

Nami looked at Xia Che who was enjoying afternoon tea leisurely, and a strange look flashed in her eyes, but since that was what she said, she followed Xia Che's instructions and did not drive in the direction of Rogue Town, but headed directly towards Upside Down Mountain.

Then she seemed to notice something, and looked up at Vivi, who was tense and confused. She sighed reluctantly and said, "Don't worry, since Xia Che is ready to take action, it means he is sure! Just like I did back then... Believe in Xia Che."

"I know~, I am also very grateful for his help." After hearing Nami's words, Vivi came back to her senses. It seemed that with Nami's comfort, her inner tension was reduced a little. She looked up curiously at Xia Che who was lying leisurely and Mok who was standing beside her. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Mok Pirates..."

"Don't worry, although Mok looks stupid, he is not a bad pirate!"

"Fallen Navy..."

"Although that guy is a bit outrageous in some places, he is not so bad as to be called a corrupt navy."

"Then he is greedy and lustful..."

"No, not so bad! It should be... not so bad~" Nami laughed and said with her eyes slightly turned away, but then her eyes drifted a little, as if she was thinking about something, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, saying, "In fact, everyone became partners unexpectedly because they were grateful to him. It was just a misunderstanding."

"Grateful?" Vivi looked at Nami in front of her curiously, especially the slightly sad eyes that suddenly changed into a smile, which immediately made her more curious.

In the Konomimi Islands, she had learned a little bit about him and understood that he was a colonel respected by everyone in the Konomimi Islands.

Especially this morning, although it was indeed a bit misunderstood, she also knew that the Mok Pirates did not want to capture everyone as pirates.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Nami, "Can you tell me about your story?"

"Why do you want to know this? Forget it, it's boring now." At Vivi's pleading, Nami thought for a while, pursed her lips, and said, "Anyway, there's nothing I can't tell you."

Looking at Vivi, his eyes fell into memories again, "Do you know the Konomi Islands? In fact, the Konomi Islands were not as rich as they are now, and there were not as many people as they are now."

Guina found her goal again because of that guy, Robin also found her home because of him, and she... was also saved by that guy.

Time passed bit by bit.

Under Nami's narration, Princess Vivi was also immersed in this strange story.

A navy saved an island, and finally led a group of poor guys who had difficulty even getting enough food to step into a wealthy life step by step until now.

Incredible but admirable fallen navy gentleman.

Weiwei stared blankly at Xia Che lying on the deck. After Nami's narration, her anxious heart calmed down, as if her confused heart had found support, and she was relieved of a lot of the heavy responsibilities on her body, and she felt much more relaxed.

But.

Nami, who was recalling and narrating, saw Weiwei's appearance in front of her, her eyelids raised, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I, I'm just thinking about how to repay you!"

"Really?" Nami looked at Weiwei suspiciously, but still waved her hand, "Forget it, we want a reward this time, remember to give us 1 billion Baileys!"

"I know." Looking at Nami's suspicious eyes, Weiwei, who didn't think about anything at first, but was grateful to Xia Che in her heart, couldn't help but think of the deal she made at that time.

Suddenly, she felt hot all over, and even her head was dizzy.

What happened to her?

He said hurriedly, "Once Alabasta has money, I will definitely pay it! And repay you well!"

"Just pay the money, no need to repay." Nami raised her eyelids and looked at Vivi suspiciously, especially when her eyes fell on her face, and immediately asked in confusion, "Why is your face so red?"

"I, I, I just suddenly feel a little hot! No, don't worry!"

"Why do you look like you're going to fall?"

"It's just a little... hot, maybe you're too excited!"

"You don't look excited like this!" Nami looked at Vivi who was about to fall with a confused look on her face, and hurriedly supported her. It seemed that she thought of something, stretched out her hand, and touched her forehead directly.

Sure enough.

"You are sick! You are so hot! No, you must find a doctor now. You can't enter the Grand Line like this. Are you going back to the East China Sea? But we have already passed the Upside-Down Mountain! What should we do now?"

"I, I'm fine! Don't worry." As if he could sense Nami's nervousness, "Please, don't go back. Please go to Alabasta. Everyone... is still waiting for me!"

"Why are you still talking about this now? Don't move around." Nami anxiously supported Vivi, then turned her head and shouted to Xia Che who was lying outside leisurely, "Xia Che, Vivi has a fever!"

The words fell.

Before Vivi could say anything, Xia Che, who was lying on the beach lounge chair, raised his head in confusion.

Who has a fever?

Just when he was about to say something.

Suddenly.

It was also at this time.

"Boss, there is a pirate ship ahead!" Mok suddenly shouted loudly, "It's so fast!"

As soon as Mok finished speaking, and as Xia Che turned his head and looked at Nami in confusion.

Sure enough.

At this time.

"Bang!"

A ship seemed to be filled with nitrogen and crashed into them.

And a huge figure stood on the side of the ship.

He was carrying a wooden box tightly behind him, as if it was an important treasure. He wore a cute bear ear hat and frameless glasses on his face. He frowned and looked at them, "The Overlord of the East China Sea? The Mok Pirates?"
