Chapter 55: Journey to the New World
After the fierce fighting, those who could land on Bask Island could be said to be Major Power in the Pirate World.
And the Wine Master of the Wine Connoisseurs' Association, relying on their experience in tasting Fine Wine, quickly found the Wine God's location in a remote Valley.
After finding the item, it was naturally time to divide the spoils. Soon, the huge pool of Wine God was completely divided up. The surrounding forces obviously had some kind of tacit understanding, and they all took out 30% of their share and gave it to the Swordsman who had fought Nicholas before.
Nicholas also directly ignored these dirty Shady Deal and took the lead in opening a barrel and drinking heartily.
It must be said that Nature is indeed amazing. At least this Fine Wine is not inferior to the top Fine Wine on the Grand Line. Moreover, because it is fermented by a special Method, it has a unique flavor.
After receiving his Reward, Nicholas also directly bid farewell to Callett. He still had many things to prepare.
In an unknown Small Village in East Blue, Nicholas was teasing a Free-Range Chicken that had grown a little Feather.
Vistad was constantly chopping Firewood with an Axe in the Courtyard, while Simon and Katie were fighting each other with two wooden sticks. Saying it was a fight was more like chickens pecking at each other.
Bell-lin was lying on a Lounge Chair, flipping through the Medical Book in her hand while taking a Sunbath.
"When are we leaving?" Bell-lin put down the Books and asked Nicholas.
"The day after tomorrow. They're already urging us. Marine strategists Sengoku and Tsuru's several Plans have caused Captain and the others heavy losses."
Now, almost the entire world's attention is focused on the New World, wanting to see whether the World Government, which has been entrenched in the world for more than 800 years, has a deeper Foundation, or whether Rocks, this newly emerged Sea overlord, can shake the Order of the world.
"Then how do you plan to go to the New World alone? After all, the Sea Area in the New World is unpredictable, and the Climate in many places is enough to destroy a Fleet."
Hearing Bell-lin's words, Nicholas also seriously considered it. The first half of the Grand Line is still okay, otherwise it wouldn't be called Paradise.
But when you get to the New World, just the various environments can kill people. Haven't you seen that even Golden Lion, one of the three Legends, later fell into the unpredictable environment of the New World?
When Nicholas arrives in the New World, he also needs to find a reliable Ship, otherwise, he probably won't be able to move an inch in the Sea Area of the New World.
"First go to Shambles, and then go to the Lawless Zone to let Callett help contact a Ship going to the New World. Actually, I originally planned to cross the Red Line directly, but after thinking about it, I decided against it."
Nicholas spread his hands and said helplessly. He was also afraid of being ambushed. Although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit made his survival Ability soar, who knows if the World Government and the Navy would come up with some strange Devil Fruit to target him.
Just like Scratchmen Apoo, if Rosinante hadn't died early, it would have been grandson meeting grandfather.
After being intimate with Bell-lin for another two days, Nicholas secretly arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.
"Mr. Nicholas, according to the general procedure for reaching the New World, we must first find the Sea Current located under the Sea, and then take this downward Sea Current to reach the Seabed. However, our Ship has its own power, so we don't need to look for those Sea Current. We just need to complete the Coating and go to Fish-Man Island according to the Coordinates."
After the Captain in charge of sailing finished speaking, he manipulated the Ship's Wheel and began to control the Ship's course.
Before long, Nicholas felt that the light around him began to dim, and the temperature also began to drop. The beautiful scenery around him disappeared, and it became pitch black. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before they reached the Seabed.
"Mr. Nicholas, next we will enter the deep Sea Current from the surface Sea Current, and the Ship may be a little bumpy."
As the Captain's voice fell, the Speed of the entire Ship suddenly increased, and there was a slight bump, just like riding a car on an uneven road.
Nicholas looked around and found that he could only see a range of about ten meters around him with the Light Source of the Ship. Apart from some Deep-Sea Fish, there was nothing special, it was completely dark. Bored, he sat directly on the bow of the Ship and drank Wine.
After about an hour, Nicholas saw some red light coming from the distance of the Ship, and then a roar came. The Sea Current around the Ship was also mixed with a lot of Bubble.
"Hey, there's a Volcanic Eruption ahead, is it okay?" Nicholas asked. Although he had been to the Seabed before, there was no Undersea Volcano Eruption at that time. The only trouble was the chaotic Sea Current.
Now, it is obviously an Undersea Volcano Group erupting ahead. Nicholas doesn't want to die in the Deep Sea for no reason. At the current depth, if the Coating of the Ship ruptures, even with the Emergency Escape Device made of Yarukiman Mangrove Sap, the chance of survival in the complex underwater environment around him would not be too high.
"Don't worry, Mr. Nicholas. This is just a small scene. We have seen Undersea Volcano Eruption of even larger scale than this. Just wait, we have arrived at the Undersea Volcano Area, and we will reach Fish-Man Island soon after passing here."
The Captain said to Nicholas while manipulating the Ship's Wheel to avoid the chaotic Sea Current.
Sure enough, before long, Nicholas saw a Light Source coming from the front, and unlike the light of the Undersea Volcano, it was Sunlight.
When they passed the last section of the journey, huge luminous Rootstalk appeared in front of Nicholas, and in these Rootstalk, an Island wrapped in two layers of huge Bubble was quietly suspended there. Sure enough, this spectacular scene is shocking no matter how many times you see it.
"Mr. Nicholas, Fish-Man Island is ahead." Soon the Ship sailed towards Fish-Man Island.
As the Ship Nicholas was on approached the Fish-Man Island Area, the Soldier stationed in the Connecting Corridor leading to Fish-Man Island also discovered them.
"The Ship outside, identify yourself and accept inspection!" After Nicholas's Ship approached the entrance of Fish-Man Island, a Mermaid riding a Sea Beast immediately stepped forward and stopped the Ship.
"I am Nicholas of the Rocks Pirates, passing through Fish-Man Island to go to the New World, and will not stay in Fish-Man Island for long."
When the Mermaids in the Connecting Corridor and the Mermaid who stepped forward to stop them heard Nicholas's words, they were all dumbfounded. After all, as one of the gateways to the New World, Fish-Man Island's News about the New World is also very timely, and they are also clear about what the Rocks Pirates have done in the New World.
And Nicholas, as a notorious Villain on the Grand Line, should they let him go or not? If they let him go, this ferocious Human arriving at Fish-Man Island would be a time bomb for the entire Fish-Man Island. But if they don't let him go, once the other party retaliates, it would be Destructive for Fish-Man Island.
"Hurry up and notify Prince, and say that Nicholas of the Rocks Pirates has come to Fish-Man Island." The Fishman Soldiers in the Connecting Corridor were in a panic, but Nicholas did not urge them, just sat on the bow of the Ship and drank Wine by himself.
"Hohohoho." Accompanied by a unique laughter, a Fish-man who was more robust than ordinary Mermaid and more than ten meters tall appeared at the entrance of Fish-Man Island. With thick, fluffy orange-red hair and beard, flame-like tattoos on his arms, dense body hair on his body, and holding a finely carved Trident, the Fish-man came directly to Nicholas.
"Fish-Man Island has really received a big shot, let him pass!" After speaking, he directly waved the Trident in his hand to signal the Fishmen to open the Connecting Corridor.
"Mr. Neptune, will it be okay to let the other party in?" A Fishman whispered beside Neptune.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Let him pass!" "Yes!" With Neptune's order, the Passage to Fish-Man Island was opened, and Nicholas successfully arrived at Fish-Man Island.
