Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 260

On the canal of the Reverse Mountain, Luffy and the others all stood at the bow, enjoying the unique and unmatched scenery in front of them.

Propelled by layers of waves, the entire Merry, as if ascending, did not slow down at all. It didn’t take long before it broke through the thick clouds.

The downpour was also gone at this moment. The oncoming cold wind blew away the sweat from their faces and brought a hint of coolness.

The red soil sacs on both sides faced back quickly, and happy smiles appeared on everyone’s faces. After so many adventures and battles, they finally came here. As long as they overturned the Reverse Mountain, they could enter Grand Line.

The speedy of Merry, like a sharp sword, pierced into the black clouds. White smoke filled the surroundings, covering everyone, even if they were next to each other, it was as they were not near each other.

Suddenly, a cold hand gripped his hand tightly. Feeling the lubrication coming from the back of the hand, Lin Tian grabbed Nami’s soft little hand, and the two held tightly like this, as if to never separate.

At this moment, the two feel that their hearts have been connected by the bond of their arms. You don’t need to say anything, you can feel it with your heart.

It seems to be a moment, but it also seems to be forever. Time seems to have stopped passing. That feeling made the two of them forget everything, knowing that the ray of light illuminates their hearts when they break through the clouds.

Driven by the rapids, the Merry breaks through the clouds, and the brilliant sunshine appears above the clouds. Now they are above the clouds, reaching an unforgettable height, at the peak of Reverse Mountain. They’re here.

The four oceans that were cut by the Grand Line and the Red Line continents collided here under the push of ocean currents, and splashing waves sprinkled from the top of the mountain.

Under the shining of the sun, after the reflection of a water column, the entire top of the mountain is upside down, and it is shrouded by an aperture that emits this gorgeous colorful rays of light, that is the highest point in the entire world.

Bang!

The collision of the ocean currents caused Merry to leap out directly. At this moment, Merry stands on the top of the world, and the water splashes all over everyone.

Below is the Grand Line, where everyone’s dreams come true!

“Greatest Swordsman in the World”

“That’s right there…”

“Proof of a brave warrior”

“The greatest sea in the world, Grand Line, one piece is here”

“The perfect world chart”

“It’s back again, Grand Line, this time I came with real freedom, for my ambitions.”

Go!

Propelled by the ocean currents, coupled with such a high drop, the speed of the Merry reached a limit again, and the white waves slid down the stern.

It hit the thick clouds head-on. At this moment, the white clouds passed through their bodies and slid quickly through the fingertips. At this moment, everyone was excited.

The oncoming cloud blocked the view, but Zoro believed that his ears could not be wrong, and then asked: “Hey, did you hear any strange noises just now?”

Nami said indifferently: “It should be the sound of the wind. The terrain here is very strange, and there’s nothing special about that strange sound.”

“Not good.”

Lin Tian’s complexion greatly changed in an instant, and the rest of the people have never been to Grand Line. Just now Lin Tian was too excited and forgot to remind everyone.

Feeling the change in Lin Tian’s complexion, Zoro immediately became vigilant, and the Wado Ichimonji in his hand was also pulled out a bit, ready for battle.

At this time, Usopp put on that pair of telescope and found something, “What- what is that?! Something is blocking the front.”

“Quickly! Turn the boat quickly to the side!”

Lin Tian shouted, too late to explain, and quickly moved towards the cabin. Only Laboon could make that strange cry. Thinking of the usual scenes, Lin Tian couldn’t help but tremble.

TL note: Laboon is a whale the Straw Hat Pirates encounter immediately after entering the Grand Line. He is native to West Blue and is classified as a Type A creature, “Big Friendly”, and at the top of both the size and friendliness scale. Laboon is an extremely large whale, comparable in size to most of the Calm Belt‘s Sea Kings; his eye alone is several times larger than the Going Merry. His skin is black (blue in the anime), coupled with short fins and a fluked tail. Much of his head is crisscrossed with scars, from his many years of tackling Reverse Mountain. After meeting the Straw Hats, Laboon had a crude replica of their Jolly Roger painted over these scars.

Seeing Lin Tian, who was always calm suddenly had such a big mood swing, everyone realized that something bad was about to happen. Zoro reacted the fastest and quickly followed up and entered the cabin.

But the helm was destroyed in the previous ocean currents, which means that the entire Merry can no longer be turned, so it can only move towards the downward direction.

Standing on the observation deck, Sanji also found it unusual, and shouted at the people below: “Nami-san, there is a mountain in front of us.”

Nami turned around and looked up puzzledly and said: “How is it possible? There are supposed to be only water here…”

The silhouettes of Lin Tian and Zoro rushed out of the cabin, “No, that’s not a mountain, that’s a huge whale.”

“Whale?”

“Sure enough, it is a big whale!!”

Looking at the exit, there was a huge whale hundreds of meters high on the head, blocking the exit, everyone’s heart was already shocked, such a big whale, even the Sea King in the Calm Belt is smaller than it.

“Ah…”

Sanji leaned over, looked at the huge whale in front of him, and shouted: “What to do, Nami-san?”

This whale is so big, its body is blocking the entrance of the entire Grand Line. The Merry is now so fast, if it crashes, the result can be imagined, the ship will be destroyed and they will all die.

The most important thing is that such a big whale is still facing here with its mouth open. Everyone is panicking. They just entered the Grand Line only to be eaten by a fish.

“Do we want to fight?” Usopp was timid, and was shocked by the scene at this time. If it was not because of the remarkable results of Lin Tian’s training recently, Usopp would have been lying down.

Lin Tian quickly objected: “No, you can’t fight!”

Not to mention, whether they attack such a big whale is useful, even if Lin Tian’s powerful slash, in front of such a large size, it may not necessarily cause much damage.

Be aware that Laboon often hits Grand Line with his head. There are a lot of scars, enough to see how abnormal Laboon’s defensive power is.

Even if they hurt Laboon, Crocus will definitely not let him go. Lin Tian has experienced that kind of taste once. The old man values Laboon very seriously that he joined Roger to conquer Grand Line.

TL note: He once took a direct hit from a cannon attack by Mr. 9 in order to protect Laboon, showing that he deeply cares about the whale. He strongly values friendship, as despite decades of separation with the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus had joined the Roger Pirates to search for its members in order to help Laboon reunite with them.

Sanji suddenly discovered something, and hurriedly said: “Wait a minute, it looks like it’s just a wall, you can’t see the eyes at all.”

The witty Nami, immediately reacted, “So, this whale can’t see us, as long as we don’t touch it, we won’t be discovered by it, and we can slip past.”

“So?” Zoro hurriedly, moved towards glanced in front of him, and he found a passage, pointed and said: “Hey, there is a passage on the left that we can go through.”

As long as the whale does not see them, they can slowly pass through the passage and slip out, and then they will be safe to escape from this sea.

“But, the rudder is broken from before; it can’t be used at all.” Lin Tian’s words, like a basin of cold water, poured on everyone’s hearts.

Everyone roared sadly: “Ah… It’s over!”

Suddenly, Luffy sitting on the head of a sheep. In this kind of critical moment in his pure brain, his IQ exploded. The genius came up with a good idea. He ran towards the cabin.

Seeing the back figure running to the cabin, Lin Tian said solemnly: “Wait a minute, why do I feel that I have a bad feeling in my heart?”

“Don’t tell me, we all have a bad feeling,” Nami and the others said.

Zoro hurriedly turned around, and ran to the cabin as well. Thinking that Luffy would do something shocking, he must be stopped, otherwise it would be finished.

Unfortunately, it was too late when Zoro acted, bang sound, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, thousands of lights radiated from the front of the ship, accompanied by thick smoke rising.

“Cannon- fired…”

Everyone burst into tears immediately, only this sentence was left in their minds!

However, Luffy’s method was indeed very useful. Under the reaction force of the cannon, the speed of Merry really slowed down, and it came to a stop with Laboon gently.

Seeing the sheep’s head on the deck unexpectedly fell off, Luffy was furious immediately, “Ah… what happened, my seat!”

Nami blocked the flying sheep’s head, Lin Tian and Usopp quickly took out the oars fixed next to them, and the mission began.

“Flee now, because he is too big, he hasn’t found us.”

Who knows if it was because of the cannonball, Laboon raised his head to the sky, opened his mouth, and shouted. The powerful sound wave, with great formidable power, shook the entire sea.

The calm sea rolled up, and the waves a few meters high didn’t feel the waves. The white clouds that happened to float in the sky in the sky were also scattered by sound waves.

The harsh sound waves transmitted to human ears have great lethality. Zoro and others felt that the ears buzzed straight, as if there were countless tiny bugs gnawing in the ears.

“Ah, my ears… hurt so much…”

The entire group, except Lin Tian, screamed under the sound waves. The severe pain was unbearable, and Merry, who was driving fast, stopped immediately.

Hmph!

Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help being coldly snorted, a very strong imposing manner came out. He turned his sword so fast. Lin Tian crushed the sound waves transmitted in the sky, and everyone’s ears became silent.

The sound wave disappeared, and the people who were covering their ears and lowering their heads slowly raised their heads, and saw Luffy clenching his fists with both hands, standing angrily on the deck, his eyes fixed on Laboon.

Angrily roared: “What did you do to my seat!”

As soon as the voice fell, before everyone could stop it, Luffy’s fist contained a blow of anger in his heart towards Laboon’s eyes.

Bang!

At the same time, with everyone screaming, everyone couldn’t help running in tears, and their hearts were broken in an instant. Everything was fine as long as they could escape quietly. But now they can only run away in tears.

Withdrawing his fist, Luffy still didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, holding his fist still provocatively said: “How about that, damned bastard! Come on!”

The three quickly took action. Luffy was solved instantly. But none of the five people noticed that when Laboon’s eyes moved towards the bottom, Lin Tian wanted to sneak away.
