Chapter 76: Reaching Grand Line
IMS: "The Heart Pirates!"
"That is the crew of Trafalgar Law, right boss."
Crown: "Yes, you're right; it's the crew of Trafalgar D. Water Law."
IMS: "Sir, I can understand the reason for the Straw Hat Pirates, but why are the Heart Pirates also included in the option."
Crown: "IMS, although Law might not be as pure as Luffy, however, he is also a person with a good heart."
"Although his Heart Pirates are completely different from the Straw Hat pirates, and it might not have the same effect on him as he would have if he got the Straw Hat Ship, I have a hunch that it might be better for him."
Crown did not explain much.
Crown: "Post the mission."
IMS: "Yes, boss."
...…
Upside Down Mountain
Peter: "This is unbelievable."
"The water is flowing backward."
"Even if I knew that it was going to be this way, it's still a big surprise to see it."
Random Crew 1: "You're right."
"However, don't be surprised at just this."
"The grand line is filled with numerous wonders like this, and there are several things even more wonderful than this."
Random Crew 2: "He is right."
"I remember that time when I almost died in the grand line."
"At that time, a Giant Sea King almost swallowed our entire fleet."
"I was lucky that the ship I was on was at the edge of the fleet, giving our ship the time and opportunity to flee."
"If not for that, I would have died there."
Peter: [Those are the water gates]
[I remember that Luffy turned into a balloon and prevented Merry from crashing into them when their rudder broke]
Peter soon sees that the entire crew of the ship has stopped and is all looking at the scenery.
They all look surprised.
Even for Peter, who has seen everything once, he is still in awe of these natural creations when he sees them for real.
"The Red Line"
A Colossal wall that spans across the world.
The wall extends higher than the clouds.
Soon their ship crosses the Reverse Mountain, and they reach the Twin Cape Lighthouse.
There they find a man who is idling and basking in the sun.
Peter: "Crocus"
Random Crew 1: "Huh!"
Peter: "Nothing, I just found out that I know this old man."
Random Crew 1 was surprised and asked, "You know him."
Peter: "Not exactly."
"I just know his name and what he does."
"Other than that, I know nothing about him."
Random Crew 1: "Oh!!"
"What is his name."
Peter: "His name is Crocus; he is a doctor who has been living here for many years. Usually, he guides the ships that come here to the grand line."
Random Crew 4: "What are you doing there."
"Come here and help."
Peter soon found that many people on this ship had already been to the grand line.
They did not need Crocus to point them.
They soon make it to the first island of the Grand Line.
They land on the island and prepare to stock up on supplies.
At this time, Peter finds that a new optional task has been given to him by the Dungeon.
{Join the Straw Hat Pirates or Join the Heart Pirates}
Peter: "What!!"
He was surprised by the sudden mission.
Peter: "The Straw Hat Pirates or the Heart Pirates"
He did not remember who the Heart Pirates but he knew very well what the Straw Hats were like.
He did not have any problem joining the straw hat crew and decided to join his crew.
Anyway, he had come to Grand Line to find Luffy.
He knew that as long as he found Luffy, it was easy for him to join his crew.
Luffy wasn't the type that would refuse him.
And he was also aware that although Luffy did not seem to care about things, he won't make the wrong choice.
Luffy seems to have an instinct.
Something like his Spider-Sense.
However, his spider-sense warns him of danger. However, Luffy's senses work differently.
Luffy has met many people along the way of his travel; however, how many of them has he invited onboard.
Some people might say that Luffy invited the Old Talking Tree and the Unicorn as his crew.
However, everyone could see that it was not as partners; instead, he found them interesting and wanted to take them as interesting things, not as someone who could share weal and woes like Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Ussop, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Jimbei.
So he knew that Luffy would most likely accept him.
