MTL - Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!-Chapter 50 Expedition
What's in that ship?
Crocodile didn't want to ask Rowan directly, because it would make him very uncomfortable.
So until everyone came to the dock, he was still observing the ship, but he still couldn't see the clue.
Rowan glanced at Crocodile, and suddenly asked: "By the way, the World Government has been quite calm this month."
Crocodile nodded, obviously absent-minded, and replied casually:
"Of course, after all, you gave them a 'reason' they couldn't refuse on Drum Island."
Shortly after leaving Drum Island, Crocodile also learned what Rowan had done.
Destroying an island - this may be a bit of a struggle for Crocodile, but it's not difficult.
But it is quite exaggerated to simply divide an island into left and right halves without any movement, and at the same time, the distance between the two is less than a millimetre.
Crocodile said, his eyes fixed on the ship.
He really wanted to know how Rowan would get the ship to the sky.
Rowan touched his chin and felt that there was something wrong with Crocodile, so he simply said, "Why don't you ask and I'll answer?"
Crocodile glanced at Rowan and lit a cigar for himself.
"I do not!"
Then, it turned into a sandstorm and flew onto the ship.
The moment he stepped on the deck, Crocodile was suddenly stunned, feeling even more wrong.
This ship... is too stable, not like a long-distance warship, but more like a passenger ship.
In order to take care of the guests above, high-end passenger ships will deliberately increase the counterweight of the ship to maintain the stability of the entire ship at sea.
But at the same time, doing so will also reduce the speed of the ship, so it is not suitable for long-distance warships.
But today's ship not only has a huge draft, but the whole ship is quite stable in the sea.
Crocodile stomped the deck with his foot.
If it was a supply, it would be too much.
Is this ship loaded with a lot of other cargo?
In doubt, everyone also put the planks on the deck, and Rowan led them onto the ship.
Among these people, there are the Alabasta king army headed by Bell, the murloc warriors headed by the murloc Hoka, and the Drum Kingdom's elite guards led by Dalton.
In addition, the medical unit formed by the doctors of Alabasta and the Drum Kingdom also followed closely. They all accompany them voluntarily and have a certain fighting ability.
The three forces plus a medical troop together, there are about 200 people.
For an army, the number of these people is obviously not enough, but the gold content of this team is extremely high.
Two animal devil fruit powers, more than ten murloc warriors, plus elite troops and medical troops from two countries.
Not to mention Rowan and Crocodile, the two natural devil fruit powers, such a lineup alone is enough to sweep a small country similar to the Drum Kingdom, not to mention an ordinary pirate group.
What's more, Rowan's purpose in going to the sky island is to establish diplomatic relations, not to fight a war. As an "expedition force" going to the sky island, the strength of this team is enough.
So Crocodile thought for a while, and the question came back.
Do you have to rely on that animal bird to carry these people to the sky one by one?
He was smoking a cigar, frowning slightly, feeling very upset.
…
After three days and two nights of sailing, the originally calm record pointer finally changed.
It began to become unstable, sometimes pointing forward, sometimes in the air.
The Alabasta navigator informed Rowan of the situation.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Rowan nodded slightly, thanked the navigator, and then suddenly asked, "Do you have paper? The one on the notebook, just one."
The navigator hurriedly tore off the last page of his notebook and handed it to Rowan.
Rowan found the page and stepped from the cabin to the deck.
Murloc Hoka and two other Murloc warriors have been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Rowan."
Hawka nodded to Rowan, "We're ready."
"Be careful."
Rowan gave an order and watched the three murlocs jump into the sea.
At the same time, the surrounding sailors began to get busy.
Crocodile noticed the actions of the others and came to the deck as well.
He frowned.
During the voyage in the past few days, Crocodile checked a lot of information, and finally got a general idea of Rowan's thoughts.
Rowan probably wanted to contact a very special sea state called "the sky current", to push the ship high into the sky, and complete the so-called "going to the sky".
But as a result, many problems arise.
First of all, although the sky current is a famous special sea condition in the surrounding waters, if it is not a local person who observes the current for a long time, it is impossible to easily predict the exact location of the current.
Secondly, even if the sky-high current is found, ordinary people cannot survive in such a terrifying current without the help of top navigators.
What is needed here is not a "navigator", but a "top navigator"!
It has nothing to do with strength, no matter how powerful people are, they cannot survive the natural disaster that destroys everything.
Finally, and the most important point, even if the luck is extreme, there is no guarantee that after the sky current brings the ship to the sky, they can successfully land near the empty island.
Once it is shot straight into the sky, and it doesn't happen to land near the empty island, it means that it will fall straight from a height of 10,000 meters, fall into the sea, and be wiped out!
"The risk is too great..."
Crocodile lit a cigar. If it were him, he would definitely not choose such a risky method.
But Rowan found a box and sat down without saying a word, waiting silently.
Ten minutes later, Hoka and his two other companions returned smoothly and jumped onto the deck from the sea.
"found it."
Hoka moved his shoulders and said to Rowan: "To the southwest, about two nautical miles from here, it's very close, and it's about to explode."
Rowan nodded and ordered the helmsman to move in the direction Hoka said.
Crocodile watched this scene silently.
Are you using the murlocs to locate the exact location of the soaring ocean current?
Great, now that the first problem is solved, there are still two left.
Crocodile became more and more sure of his previous guess, and also understood why Rowan didn't bring Wei Wei with him.
Whether it's called the soaring sea current flying high in the sky, or the severe climate environment on the empty island, it is not something a little girl can bear. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He leaned against the mast and watched the ship go to the place Hoka said.
Ten minutes later, a roar from the sea came from Crocodile's ears.
The stable ship began to tremble violently, until it tilted and shook!
The helmsman shouted: "Everyone is in your place, and the rest hold on to the railings around you!"
A group of sailors complied immediately, and Dalton and Bell were even more prepared.
They all knew from Rowan's mouth that the trip was extremely dangerous, but like Crocodile, they didn't know Rowan's specific plans.
Hokka, the murloc, shouted, "Be careful, the ocean current is coming!"
Crocodile immediately elementalized the soles of his feet and fixed himself on the deck with gravel, his face dignified.
I hope that old monster really has a way, instead of fighting for that illusory "luck"!
The huge vortex gradually formed on the sea surface, swallowing the ship where everyone was, and it was several meters below the sea level.
That was a precursor to the impending eruption of the soaring ocean current.
The whole ship began to shake violently, and the bow tilted down.
"Hey!"
Crocodile frowned and said to Rowan, "Use it if you can!"
He doesn't believe that Rowan has no preparations to follow.
But when Crocodile looked up at Rowan, he was even more puzzled.
I saw that Rowan was playing with the piece of paper he had asked for from the navigator, and folded the paper one after another, eventually turning it into a "paper airplane".
"Hey..."
Rowan whistled and threw the paper airplane out.
The paper plane followed the frantic airflow around it, and together with the ship, it was rolled towards the center of the vortex.
