"Everyone, hold on tight! There was an abnormality on the surface of the sea! Quickly retract the sails!" The fleet moved at a high speed, faster and faster. This had already exceeded the maximum power of the wind blowing the sails. Sven ordered the sails to be retracted to avoid damage to the ship. It was the first time he had seen such a strange current on the Great Sea Route. Even the navy's information rarely recorded such an extreme current.
"Big brother, bad news! The ship is rising!”As a lookout, Kite had good eyesight. He could use the water level as a reference to judge the condition of the ship. At this time, he noticed that the ship was rising slightly, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Therefore, he had to warn Junero and Sven.
"Everyone hold on tight. It might be a wave.”Junero's sailing skills were only half-baked. In his opinion, it should be just a wave caused by an abnormal current.
"Captain, what happened? Any enemies?" A Jin, who was training pirates in the bottom floor of the navy room, also felt the strange ship and quickly ran up to the deck to ask.
"Captain Junero, what…what happened?”Logan, who was resting in the cabin, also ran up. He swayed and looked seasick as he leaned against the door frame.
"Unusual currents, don't panic. We probably encountered a big wave.”As Junero spoke, the ship was slowly rising at an extremely fast speed. He looked at Ah Jin and Logan, who had come up from the deck, and then looked around. He didn't see Lanik. He was probably a guy who loved research. He should be in his cabin doing experiments and fiddling with some strange things.
"Oh, got it. Then I'll continue to train those kids.”Ah Jin said. He thought he had encountered the navy. After all, he had just escaped from the encirclement and was worried that the navy would catch up to him.
"Alright, you can go."
" Captain, something's not right. It might not be caused by the current. It might be something else…" After all, Sven was very experienced. It was unlikely that this situation was caused by an abnormal current. There was no current that was as fast as a train. It had never been discovered even in the entire great sea route. As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom of the ship, indicating that there might be something below the fleet.
"Kate, go and see what's down there. Be careful and hold on to the railing!”Junero knew what Sven meant and quickly called Kate, who had the best eyesight, to check. However, Kate couldn't see anything as she leaned against the railing. She only felt that it was dark below. Could it be that the water quality had deteriorated? Of course, this was just his suspicion. So he climbed up the watchtower again. From the watchtower, he could see a much wider range.
"Big…big brother, no…bad news!!!!! What…what a huge monster!" Kite was shocked when he looked at the watchtower. He quickly shouted at Junero on the deck below. This was definitely not a problem of the water turning black. It was the shadow of a super huge monster. The shadow was about four to five kilometers in diameter. It was impossible to tell what it was. Fortunately, the monster was carrying them and gradually rising. They believed that they would be able to see its true appearance soon.
"Hiss!" Sven took a deep breath. The fleet that was gradually lifted up had already left the sea and lost its mobility. It stopped steadily on the back of the giant beast. He quickly leaned on the bow of the ship and looked ahead. He could vaguely see a long black shadow in front of the black shadow. The front part was wide, the middle part was slender, and then it became " infinitely " wide, extending to the back of the fleet. Sven had a rough idea of what it was. He had seen it in the data room of the naval headquarters. At that time, even he himself could not believe that the information on it really existed.
"Sven, what's wrong?" Junero saw Sven like this. Although he didn't show any fear, he was quite shocked. Junero couldn't help but ask.
"World Turtle! It's the World Turtle!" Sven muttered," Junero, we met the World Turtle! This was a legendary existence, even more so than the legend of One Piece's secret treasure. Even the legend of the ship elves was not inferior.”
"What? What is that?" Junero was puzzled. Looking at Sven's excited expression, he probably got lucky this time.
"World Turtle!" " I've seen it in the navy's data room before. It's a World Turtle, seven kilometers long. It's said to be an ancient creature that has lived for more than a thousand years. Even the so-called Millennium Dragon is far inferior to it. It usually lurked in the deep sea and swam around, absorbing the spiritual energy of the sea as food. Occasionally, it would surface and eat an island before diving down. It was said that the Demon Fruit might grow on the back of the World Turtle. Of course, that was only recorded in the records. I once thought that it didn't exist and was just a legend, just like the ship elves. I didn't expect to meet the World Turtle.”
Junero was also surprised to see Sven's dancing hands. However, the ship elves were not just a legend. They existed for real. Luffy and the others had created a ship elf, but judging from his pirate group, he probably wouldn't meet his ship elf. After all, he had no feelings for these warships.
The World Turtle had already lifted them up. Kate, who was on the watchtower, was terrified." Big…big brother, it's…it's land. The bottom of the sea…a piece of land actually rose from the bottom of the sea.”
The turtle shell covered in aquatic plants and soil was so huge that Little Kate thought it was a piece of land. However, most of the pirates below thought so too. At this time, the fleet was stranded on the shell of the World Turtle. The pirates had nothing to do, so they all lay on the left and right to watch the strange scene of the " underwater world " under their feet.
"Kate, come down!" Junero called out to Kite, who was on the watchtower. He already knew what it was, and with the speed of the World Turtle, he believed that the navy would definitely not be able to catch up. Therefore, the crisis was resolved, and Kite no longer needed to stay on the watchtower to guard.
"Okay…okay, big brother!" Little Kate slid down as well.
"Sven, will we deviate from our course?？”Junero asked Sven, who was beside him. He was a little worried that if he stayed on the shell of the World Turtle, he might deviate from the route to Talin Forest and run from this track to another track.
"I don't think so. The permanent pointer isn't far off, and the pointer is pointing in the direction of the World Turtle. It looks like we won't be able to go to Green Forest Island. I don't know what the next island is either, so we'll just follow the World Turtle for now.”Sven took out the permanent pointer and the recording pointer that pointed to the pagoda forest and showed it to Junero. He gave his judgment. He guessed that the World Turtle might have floated up to eat the island and then dive.
Kate also ran over and leaned on the railing, looking down at the " underwater world " below. The turtle shell was full of underwater plants, and the grass and trees seemed to have come to another world.
"Buzz…"
A buzzing sound came from the front. Although it was much louder than Rabu's sound, it was not as aggressive as Rabu's sound. It was just like a big horn.
"My head is coming out of the water!”Sven reminded him. The sea ahead had already bulged, and it seemed like his head was coming out of the water.
"Bang!"
The hatch was suddenly pushed open, and Lanik rushed out. He was attracted by the loud sound just now. He knew that the sound just now could only be made by sea kings. He lay on the bow of the ship and looked at the strange movement in front of him. He asked excitedly," What... what is that?”Lanik glanced around. Judging from the huge area and the " land ", this was definitely not a simple sea king. It was definitely an existence that he had never seen before, not even in the information.
"Buzz…"
The surface of the sea split open, and the World Turtle's head emerged from the water like a plesiosaur, soaring high into the sky. His dense and long white eyebrows were more than ten meters long, as if telling the world that he had an eternal life. Even though it was resting under its eyelids, its bright eyes told the world that it was still extremely strong.
" It's the World Turtle, Doctor…"
