Chapter 48: To Dominate The Grand Line!
There is still some distance to go from Logue Town to the entrance of the Grand Line.
The closer we get to Reverse Mountain, the worse the weather becomes.
It was sunny not long ago, but as we get closer, the climate gradually becomes strange, with dark clouds looming.
The Thousand Sunny is leading the way, sailing ahead.
In the field of vision, a wall of red earth stretches across the ocean, with no end in sight.
"So that's the Red Line? It's a sight that people in Cocoyasi Village can never see in their lifetime," Nami said with emotion.
"The ocean currents are not right..."
Nami leaned over the ship's rail, observing the increasingly rapid ocean currents, muttering, "At this rate, we will collide with the Red Line. What's wrong? Is the position on the sea map incorrect?"
Driven by strong winds and ocean currents, the Thousand Sunny is like a speeding train that can't stop.
Once it collides with the Red Line...
"Don't worry, Nami. Believe in yourself."
Luffy said softly as he walked to the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant redness.
Although they can already see the Red Line, there is still a long way to go in reality.
He took the opportunity to tally up their gains during this period.
[You have sailed in East Blue for 6 days, rewarded with 60 adventure coins.]
[You have arrived at the new island, Logue Town, rewarded with 100 adventure coins.]
[Recruited crew member Bartolomeo, a qualified devil fruit ability user, rewarded with 300 adventure coins.]
Including the previous stock of 1755...
[Adventure Coins]: 2215!
Easy, really easy.
The goal of 2200 adventure coins was easily achieved.
Equivalent to eleven Haki fruits, it can raise his Conqueror's Haki to the advanced stage of level 5.
The only problem is that Haki fruits don't appear every day.
"Let's see what good things are available today."
Today's luck is good. After many days, another Haki fruit appears.
Bought on the spot, -200 adventure coins.
In addition,
[Six-style fruit (boxed)]: A gift box that combines six fruits, stronger than six individual ones. Selling price: 1000 adventure coins, today's special offer: 500 adventure coins.
["Why does a box of six-style fruits cost 1000 when six individual ones cost 100 each?"]
["Is the strength in the price of the box?"]
Luffy silently complained in his heart.
Of course, this is just a small complaint. In reality, it is indeed better than buying them individually.
After all, it's not guaranteed to get six fruits in a month. It's like buying time at a high price, the earlier you buy, the earlier you can enjoy.
Mainly because it's on sale, buying six for 500 is still a profit.
["Why isn't it a Haki gift box? Do they think I don't have enough money?"]
He complained again in his heart, but still bought it, deducting another 500 adventure coins.
After a rough scan of the remaining goods, they were good, but until he achieves financial freedom with adventure coins, he doesn't have any extra money to spend.
A flash of white light, a black fruit and a box of six-style fruits appeared in his hand.
After eating the Haki fruit, his Armament Haki level 1 immediately advanced to level 2.
It was another day of reaping the rewards of hard training.
Satisfied, Luffy thought to himself and couldn't resist the joy he felt in his heart. He turned to shout, "Nami!"
"What's wrong?" Nami asked with a puzzled expression as she walked over, her eyes filled with curiosity and affection.
"Here, this is for you," Luffy said with a loving glint in his eyes.
Taking the gift box, Nami blinked happily. She felt a deep sense of joy and love welling up inside her as she received a gift from Luffy, no matter what it was.
Perhaps it was a gift bought in Logue Town?
With a sweet smile that radiated love, she asked, "What is this?" Her voice carried a tender tone that melted Luffy's heart. "Can I open it?"
"Go ahead," Luffy replied.
The wooden gift box was exquisitely crafted, just like the precious bond between them. Nami opened it and saw six neatly arranged fruits in two rows. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth, almost screaming with happiness and love for the man who had gifted her this wonderful surprise.
There were so many of these precious fruits!
"Luffy, where did you get these? Can you really give me all of them?" she asked incredulously.
There were so many of these precious fruits, and Nami couldn't believe her eyes.
"Luffy," she began, her voice overflowing with affection and gratitude, "where on earth did you find all of these? Can you truly give them to me?" Her gaze was a radiant mix of fondness and admiration as she locked eyes with the man who had just filled her heart with an abundance of love.
Taken by surprise, Luffy pondered for a moment before playfully responding:
"My grandpa gave them to me. He heard that my wife is too weak, so he gave me these. How about that, are you happy?"
"Very happy."
Nami's smile was radiant, not because of the six fruits, but because of being called a wife.
Her Grandfather-in-law was really great! She should have greeted him properly before!
She didn't even care that her sister Nojiko and Miss Kaya were on the deck. Excitedly, she hugged Luffy and gave him a passionate kiss.
Luffy, of course, wouldn't refuse the advances of a beautiful woman. Immediately kissed her cherry lips, sucking her tongue and having a passionate kiss with Nami, while his dishonest hands groped her butt feeling ecstatic.
Nojiko turned her head and happened to see this scene. She immediately smiled and said, "You're really bold, Nami."
"Miss Nami...!"
Kaya shyly covered her eyes, but she opened her fingers slightly and secretly watched.
Half an hour later.
The Red Line was within reach, and the inverted mountain was visible to the naked eye.
Only when you get closer can you appreciate the towering and majestic Red Line.
The red wall started from sea level and extended upwards, disappearing into the clouds, with no end in sight.
Luffy stood at the bow of the ship, quietly feeling its ancient aura. The overwhelming sense of oppression that came rushing towards him was a sight he had never seen in his previous life!
At the same time, it was also a wall of sighs, separating countless people from the four seas.
Not only Luffy, but also the three women on the ship, and even the people on the Merry Go following behind the The Thousand Sunny, were amazed by the scene before them.
"Look! That's the waterway... the seawater is flowing upstream!?"
Suddenly, Nami noticed the reverse current at the foot of the inverted mountain.
Under the powerful impact of the current, the seawater climbed up the mountain, all the way up, towards an unknown end.
"I understand now, so this is how we go up!" Nami exclaimed in surprise. "When we reach the highest point, the sea currents from the four seas converge and then flow back down, leading to the direction of the Grand Line! It's truly a spectacle!"
Luffy's voice rang out, vibrant and full of boundless enthusiasm, as he exclaimed, "The Grand Line is right before us! Tell me, what are your dreams, everyone?"
The male crew members aboard the Merry Go were electrified by his question, their eyes gleaming with fervor.
Zoro's determination shone through as his gaze sharpened, declaring, "To become the world's greatest swordsman!"
"To become a fearless warrior of the sea!" Usopp beamed, his elongated nose thrusting toward the boundless sky, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"For the All Blue, where the sea is an ocean of miracles!" Sanji's voice soared, carrying the dreams of a thousand chefs.
"To stand by Captain Luffy and witness the birth of the Pirate King!" Bartolomeo roared.
"To repay the debt of saving my life!" Yosaku's declaration echoed
"To embark on grand adventures beyond imagination!" Johnny resonated with excitement as he joined in.
Listening to the thunderous shouts of the men, the three women aboard the Thousand Sunny shared a glance, their smiles radiant.
"To chart the uncharted corners of the world, alongside my partner!" Nami's eyes gleamed with boundless love and ambition, her spirit aflame with determination.
"To soar freely across the endless skies like birds!" Kaya's serene voice held a sense of wonder for the mysteries that lay ahead.
"To leave behind the shadows of our past and wholeheartedly embrace the future!" Nojiko's words carried the promise of a bright tomorrow.
Energized by their dreams, the Thousand Sunny surged forward, riding the ferocious current up the towering Reverse Mountain.
Luffy thrust his fist into the air, a grin spreading across his face like a beacon of unwavering determination.
"To conquer the Grand Line!"
