Chapter 242 Top of the Western Sky
Sett originally thought that after the phone call with Reiju, Reiju would be able to take the slaves to the so-called top of the Western Heaven soon, but what he didn't expect was that it had only been a while since the last phone call.
Within a few days, Reiju took the initiative to contact Sett.
"It's really rare that you would take the initiative to contact me."
Seeing the phone bug imitating Reiju's expression, Sett couldn't help but joke.
Hearing Seti's teasing, Reijiu had the intention to express her attitude harshly, but when she thought about the large amount of supplies at stake, she suppressed her desire to quarrel with Seti:
"Stop talking about what you have and what you don't have. I have something urgent to do with you."
Hearing Reiju's serious tone when she spoke, Seti also smiled:
"Did something happen to those Tianlong slaves?"
"They are all in the war room in Germa now. You don't have to worry about safety. I'm looking for you because the joint caravan we formed with the Sponge Chamber of Commerce was looted along the Grand Line."
Lei Jiuyan briefly and comprehensively told the general story of the incident:
"After you contacted Timide, the president of the Sponge Chamber of Commerce, he took the initiative to contact me and said that he would give up competition and cooperate together. To show sincerity, I sent a caravan to work with his caravan.
We originally planned to rely on the joint efforts of both parties to open up the entire route from Abalastan to Shampoo that you mentioned earlier.
But we never thought that our ship would be robbed before it reached Abalastan."
"Looting?" After hearing this, Seti felt a little unbelievable for a moment.
It's not that Seti doesn't understand the current situation of the pirate world, but because Navoli's merchant ships are full of the remaining android soldiers of the Kingdom of Germa and the masters hired by Reiju at a large price. In this case, the merchant ships
It's really incredible that someone could still be robbed.
"Which pirate group did this? How dare you touch the head of a naval grandfather like me."
When he said this, Seti was already subconsciously moving all his joints, even daring to grab things under his hands. Those pirates were really old people eating arsenic, feeling that their lives were too long.
"It wasn't the pirates who did it." Reiju looked a little helpless when she said this.
Now it was Seti's turn to be confused:
"If it wasn't pirates, who else could have done it? We in Navoli are serious taxpayers. There is no reason for the navy to seize our ship. I have also said hello to Dolag, and the Revolutionary Army should also
You won't mess around...
Could it be that Crocodile guy did it?”
After hearing the name of this Shichibukai, Reiju was stunned for a moment, and then she said:
"It wasn't the Shichibukai who did it. The guy who looted our merchant ship was the king of a country called Drum Island near Abalastan. The king of that country, Valpo, was a very unreasonable guy.
In the early years, my father and I... I met that guy once when I was participating in the World Conference with the team. All in all, he was a very vulgar guy.
Valpo happened to run into our merchant ship on his way out to sea. I don’t know what went wrong with him, but in short, our merchant ship was seized by them.
After seizing the merchant ship, he did not act recklessly, but took the initiative to contact Timid, and it seems that he wanted to blackmail us."
"Valpo of Drum Island..."
After reciting this name, Seti recalled things related to this guy.
Drum Island is the hometown of Chopper in the Straw Hats, and Valpo is the previous king of this country. Before the Straw Hats arrived at Drum Island, Blackbeard, who was being chased by Ace, appeared in this country for some reason and brought
It was driven out of Drum Island.
(Speaking of which, this may be the only human thing that Blackbeard has done in the original work)
A few months after being driven away by Blackbeard, this guy returned to Drum Island. During this period, he happened to encounter Luffy and his gang, and was eventually beaten away by Luffy.
However, he was not destined to die. After being beaten by Luffy and sent to a small country, he actually regained the appreciation of the World Government through some operations and established an evil dark drum kingdom.
After briefly recalling Valpo's deeds and confirming that this guy was indeed mentally retarded to do such a thing, Seti said to Reiju:
"Okay, I have understood the general situation. You should lead the team to the top of the Western Sky as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about the matter of Drum Island. I will return to the Grand Line to meet with this Valpo for a while.
He actually dares to blackmail us, I have to let him see how powerful we are."
As if she heard the ferocity in Seti's tone, Reijiu thought for a while and whispered:
"Take it easy, that's the king of a country that is a member of the World Government. If you keep causing trouble to various kings, the other kings will definitely put pressure on the World Government because of their grief.
A small loss leads to a big loss..."
Hearing the words of concern, Seti felt warm in his heart, so he softened his tone and said:
"Don't worry, I know that I will be measured in my actions. You should also be careful when you come here. After all, there are so many 'suspicious elements' on the ship. When this period of time is over, we can meet again.
."
Hearing Sett say that they could meet again soon, Reiju felt her heart beat hard. She wanted to follow the current atmosphere and tell Sett that she missed him.
Feelings.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say anything. In the end, I could only make a subtle "hmm" and hung up the phone.
Sett was used to this way of getting along with Reiju, so he didn't say anything. He just sighed silently in his heart, "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard." Then he suddenly thought of the mountains far away in the East China Sea.
rule.
If you want to get closer to Reiju, you will probably have to ask your brother-in-law in the future...
…………
The busy things here on Sky Island are almost busy, and baby-5 and the others have also visited all the places they want to visit.
In addition, there was a death-seeking Valpo on Drum Island that needed to be dealt with, so Seti proposed the idea of returning to Qinghai to Baby-5 and others that night.
Being reminded by Seti, the three women also recalled their identities as naval admirals. Together, the four of them immediately decided to set off and return to Qinghai.
If you want to return to Qinghai, the fastest way is to use the inflatable octopus hot air balloon that Luffy and the others used, but there is a certain chance that using that thing will cause serious damage to the ship.
Seti was not in a hurry. Valpo was afraid of his father, Lieutenant General Duran, who only wanted money and did not intend to kill anyone. Therefore, he was not worried about the danger to the lives of the abducted employees.
Because there was no need to return to Qinghai quickly, Seti did not plan to use the Octopus hot air balloon, and instead chose to take the top of the Western Sky. This was also a way for the employees of the Navoli Chamber of Commerce to explore the way in advance, so that they could board the sky.
There was some preparation during the journey to the island.
You need an excellent guide to go to the top of the Western Sky. Because Ganfor was busy managing the residents of Sky Island and couldn't leave, Seti didn't go to him. Instead, he went to the Sandian camp to ask about Sandi.
The old chief of the demi-humans.
When the old chief heard that Seti and the others were going back to Qinghai via the Top of the West, he was very concerned and even specially called Weber over and asked him to act as a guide for Seti and the others.
Of course, the old chief actually had his own selfish motives. He actually wanted Weber to follow them to Qinghai, firstly, to see the current customs and customs of Qinghai.
Secondly, he wanted Weber, a descendant of Calgara, to go to Gaya Island and meet Wembran Kulik with his own eyes, so as to fulfill the last wish of the great warrior Calgara.
When he heard that the matter involved his ancestors, Weber, who had always been aloof and unruly, became excited. He repeatedly beat his chest in front of the old chief and promised that he would definitely take Seti and the others back to Qinghai.
…………
Early the next morning, Seti and others took the express to the White Sea, then transferred to their own warship and headed towards the top of the Western Sky under the guidance of Weber.
There is communication between Sky Island and Sky Island, and the connection between them is the White Sea. Although this is not directly named in the original work, it can be inferred from the few words Ganfuor told the Straw Hats.
.
In addition to Ganfor's words that can be used as side evidence, the common currency of Sky Island, Ik, is also a clear proof. Urki and others know the location of Sky Island's "Ruins of Baron", which is also ironclad evidence.
The White Sea connects several Sky Islands, and the westernmost part of the White Sea is the only road leading to Qinghai. This is what the people of Sky Island call the Top of the Western Sky.
Seti and the others are now heading towards the top of the Western Sky via the White Sea under the guidance of Weber.
In fact, if Seti is not afraid of causing trouble, he can also catch a guide bird in the jungle of Sky Island and try to travel by himself.
However, that would take a lot of detours and might offend some other Sky Island races. In order not to get into as much trouble as Luffy, he still chose to follow Weber honestly.
Although Weber has never been to the Top of the West, he knows how to reach the Top of the West and has some friendship with the guards there.
According to Weber, the Top of the West has actually been a forbidden area jointly guarded by all Sky Island people since ancient times. All Sky Islands will send several warriors to the Top of the West every once in a while to guard the safety here.
It is precisely because of their existence that it becomes extremely difficult for Qinghai people to reach the top of the Western Heaven. Only one or two people out of a hundred people can successfully board the sky island.
They sent people to guard this place, not only to prevent people from Qinghai from coming up, but also to prevent people from Kongdao from coming down. As for the reason, Weber himself couldn't explain it. He only said that this was a rule that had been passed down since ancient times.
