Chapter 159 Upside Down Mountain
"Sir, you can already see the Red Earth Continent, and not far ahead is the Twin Gorges."
The lookout on the warship looked at the distant scenery with a telescope, then turned back and said excitedly to Seti below.
Hearing this, Seti, who was lazily lying on the beach chair, stood up and glanced into the distance, only to see a dark red color appearing where the sea and sky met in the distance.
As the warship continued to advance, the dark red color continued to magnify in the sight. It was a huge dark red mountain range.
The red mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, and the top of the mountain towers into the clouds. Layers of clouds and mist completely obscure it, making it impossible to see the scenery at the top clearly.
Looking at the majestic and huge mountains in front of them, the sailors on the ship couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, and even Seti looked amazed.
This is the greatest natural wonder in the pirate world - the Red Earth Continent!
It is not very accurate to say that the Red Earth Continent is, after all, the Red Earth Continent surrounds the entire Pirate World and divides the Pirate World into huge mountains on the east and west sides.
To be precise, the high mountain in front of you should be called Levi's Mountain or Upside Down Mountain. It is one of the two intersections of the Red Continent and the Grand Line.
From here, you can return to the Four Seas via the Grand Route.
Seeing Seti staring at the Upside Down Mountain, his adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Box, came up and whispered to Seti about the Upside Down Mountain.
"Sir, through the waterway ahead, we can climb to the top of Upside Down Mountain, which is the intersection of five waterways. Once we get there, we only need to look for the channel leading to the North Sea and follow the river downstream to reach the North Sea.
"
After hearing this, Seti tilted his head and suddenly asked a somewhat tricky question:
"Isn't it said that pirates from all over the world rely on the currents of the four seas to rush up to the Upside Down Mountain, and then follow the channels leading to the Grand Route down the river to reach the Grand Route?
If that's the case, if we want to go to the North Sea from here, wouldn't we be going upstream? If we go upstream on such a high mountain, even if the warship has an extra power source, it won't be possible."
Box smiled when he heard this and said:
"Under normal circumstances, the ocean currents in Upside Down Mountain do flow from the four seas to the Grand Route as you said, sir. However, because the world we live in is constantly moving and changing, this ocean current will also change over time.
Changing the direction of flow.
The cycle of this change is about one day per month. Calculating the time, the next flow direction change will be exactly four days later. This is why I immediately suggested that you change the route as soon as you said you wanted to go to Mt. Dianshan.
Because if we cannot arrive here within a few days, we will have to stay here and wait for a full month before heading to Beihai."
When Box was giving Setikop here, the lookout at the top of the mast suddenly spoke again:
"Sir, there is a boat, there is a boat coming down from above!"
Hearing this, Seti suddenly became interested. He took the telescope from the table next to him and looked over.
I saw that in the huge waterway in the distance, a small pirate ship was rushing down from above. Seeing such an exciting scene, Seti couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After all, lying on the Upside Down Mountain was not in vain.
.
Unlike Seti who had been observing the currents of the Red Earth Continent, Box had been paying attention to the ship.
After seeing the pirate flag hanging on the ship, Box showed a strange expression and said:
"Sir, it's the pirate flag. Do we want..."
After seeing Boxby making a downward cut, Seti did not immediately agree with his proposal:
"Let's first see what kind of people these people are."
…………
While Seti and others were observing the pirate ship from a distance, the Bronze Fist Pirates finally landed smoothly after experiencing some bumps.
The pirates on the boat huddled together in shock and observed the surrounding situation. After confirming that they had landed smoothly, they breathed a sigh of relief, and each one burst into loud cheers.
"Captain, we did it! We successfully arrived at the Grand Line!"
The captain of the Bronze Fist Pirates on the deck, "Bronze Fist" Billu looked at the magnificent sea in front of him and smiled up at the sky.
But before he could laugh heartily, the navigator on the ship suddenly screamed:
"The ship, captain, is finished. Our compass needle seems to have been damaged during the voyage just now!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Billu's expression suddenly turned very ugly. He was previously a well-known pirate leader in the North Sea.
Having drifted on the sea for so many years, he knew very well what terrible things would happen if there was a problem with the compass needle of the ship.
After confirming that the compass needle had indeed failed, Billu glanced around and suddenly looked at the lighthouse not far away.
After seeing the lighthouse, Billu's eyes couldn't help but light up:
"Yes, there must be a compass inside the lighthouse. Ours is broken, so we can just go and grab a good one from there."
As he spoke, Billu ordered his men to quickly approach the lighthouse.
Seti and others in the distance had been watching their movements with binoculars. After seeing them immediately pick up weapons and rush towards the lighthouse, Seti shook his head and commented:
"They all look like hopeless guys."
After hearing this, Box nodded in agreement, turned back to the sailors and said:
"Get closer and prepare to attack the pirates."
…………
"You stinky old man, how dare you use a broken compass to fool me!"
In the open space in front of the lighthouse, Billu and his men surrounded a bald old man with a hair style like petals.
Throwing the compass spinning in his hand to the ground, Billu looked at the old man and said dissatisfied:
"It seems that I have to make you suffer a little today."
Facing the ferocious Bilu and his men, the old man did not show any panic. He just frowned slightly and said coldly:
"How dare you run to the Grand Line without knowing anything? They are another group of idiots rushing to die."
Hearing that the old man dared to speak rudely, Billu glanced at the old man with a pale face, then turned to one of his subordinates and said:
"How dare you ignore me, Uncle Bilu, and tell him my name and the amount of the reward!"
The subordinate who was cue immediately said with pride:
"You old man, listen up! Our captain is the famous 'Bronze Fist Billu' in Beihai! There is a bounty of 25 million berries!!"
As he spoke, the subordinate continued to talk:
"In the North Sea, our boss is the absolute overlord of the sea. Not to mention a little old man like you, even if the navy comes, our captain will punch him without even blinking."
Hearing this, the old man with glasses looked up into the distance in astonishment, and then suddenly showed a smile:
Chapter completed!
