Chapter 136 The conditions for the war at the top have been met
As soon as they dived beneath the sea, the unique scenery came into everyone's sight.
The sunlight shone through the sea water and hit the bubble layer protecting the pure white knight, instantly emitting a variety of colors, making the scene like a dream.
And the biggest difference from a submarine is that the coated boat has a panoramic skylight, which allows everyone to see the scenery that is absolutely indescribable unless you experience it in person.
"It's unbelievable, the scenery is so magical!" Beta, a girl from the Department of Literature, felt her head itchy at the moment, as if something was about to burst out.
"If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never be able to experience this dream that is hard to describe in words." Ipsilon, who was standing by the side of the ship, nodded in agreement.
"Sid, look, the bubbles are showing colorful luster, like a scene in a dream, it's so beautiful." Claire was holding Reed's hand at this moment, pointing everywhere excitedly.
"Originally, I thought that the magnificent scenery ten thousand meters above the sky was different from that of the human world, but I didn't expect that the dreamlike scenery under the sea is no less beautiful. It is worthy of the master's choice." Victoria clasped her hands together in a prayer posture.
"The adventures in this world are really interesting. There are so many unknowns that make people excited." Compared to others who were shocked by the beautiful scenery at the moment, Zeta was more concerned about what kind of unknown adventure was waiting for her.
"BOSS, there is a huge sea beast behind the mangrove roots. Can we hunt it?" Although Delta was also appreciating the beautiful scenery at the moment, he instinctively started looking for prey after being shocked.
"Sister Delta, we don't need sea beasts to pull the boat, so let's not do anything!" Kalina hurriedly dissuaded.
"Delta, try to do as little as possible." Li De also spoke.
"Okay, Boss, I understand." Delta was not disappointed when he heard that.
At this moment, they have just dived beneath the sea surface. Once they really enter the deep sea, she will definitely have a chance to make a move, because she is the only one on the ship who can fight outside the Pure White Knight. After all, everyone else has become a special ability user now.
As the Pure White Knight continued to sink, the dreamlike scenery seen before soon disappeared from sight.
As the light gradually disappeared, the surroundings became dark.
Not only that, when the sinking depth exceeded one thousand meters, the surrounding temperature also dropped a lot.
White mist could be seen between breaths, indicating that the Pure White Knight was approaching the bottom of the surface current.
At this moment, Li De can actually use a little magic power, so that the temperature inside the bubble layer can rise quickly.
But Reed did not do so. After all, he didn't know whether raising the temperature of the Pure White Knight would attract attacks from deep-sea beasts and sea kings due to the abnormal temperature.
Another point is that no matter how low the temperature of the deep sea is, it is unlikely to be below zero degrees, and the temperature of zero degrees has almost no effect on Li De or even the other women.
Even Kalina only wore an outer coat of moderate thickness at this moment.
"Captain, sisters, please pay attention. We are going to ride the descending current from the surface to the deep."
At a certain time, as Kalina's voice sounded, Li De and others discovered that the ocean current outside the ship had suddenly become faster.
Hearing this, Li De listened attentively. The rumbling sound came from a distance. Then Li De brought the girls to the bow of the ship.
"This scenery is so spectacular!" Beta was already shocked beyond words at this moment.
"It's really incredible!" Ipsilon's eyes widened.
"I would never believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!" Victoria couldn't help but say at this moment.
"Is this the descending sea water current?! It's really exciting!" Zeta's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"It's like a huge waterfall in the sea!" Claire couldn't help trembling as she held Reed's hand.
"As expected, just hearing about it doesn't give you the full picture of how shocking it is." Kalina, who was at the helm, couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this the power of nature? I really want to feel this suffocating pressure!" Among the girls, only Delta thought differently.
"The more spectacular it is, the more dangerous it is!" Li De was shocked and said something that spoiled the mood.
"Captain and sisters, we are about to enter the ocean current. I am going to reef the sails. Please find a place to hold on!" Kalina shouted.
Following Kalina's words, Li De and the other girls immediately found the nearest fixed object and held on to it tightly.
A few breaths later, when the Pure White Knight officially caught the downwelling current, the ship's speed instantly soared.
The strong ocean current not only gave the Pure White Knight a powerful speed, but also exerted additional force.
If Karina hadn't obtained the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, which allows her to control any part of the ship, it would have been difficult to keep the Pure White Knight in the center of the ocean current.
You have to know that there are rock walls of the continental shelf on both sides of the ocean current. Once it hits them, although the Pure White Knight's hull, which is a hundred times stronger, will not be damaged, the bubble layer is not that strong.
In fact, at this moment, Li De was ready to teleport at any time.
After all, although Reed, Claire and Delta might be lucky enough to survive after the bubble layer was burst, the other girls could not.
Fortunately, Kalina's skills were really amazing, allowing the Pure White Knight to remain in the center of the ocean current.
In less than a minute, the Pure White Knight broke away from the downwelling current and arrived in the deep sea area of 7000 meters.
"BOSS, there are a lot of powerful auras around us!" Delta showed excitement on his face at this moment.
"If they don't attack, just ignore them!" Li De immediately shook his head. It is better to remain stable in the deep sea.
How could he not feel what Delta could feel?
Precisely because he could feel it, he didn't want to get involved.
After all, the size of the deep-sea fish in One Piece is extremely exaggerated, and even the smaller fish nearby are over 200 meters long.
The bigger ones can even swallow the entire Pure White Knight in one mouthful.
"Lina, speed up and leave this sea area!" Claire immediately said to Kalina.
"Sister Claire, I understand!" Kalina nodded quickly.
After all, she had never seen such a serious expression on Claire's face before.
It is serious precisely because you have never seen it before.
In other words, Kalina has not yet awakened her domineering power and mastered her Observation Haki. Otherwise, without Claire's reminder, Kalina would have already controlled the Pure White Knight to slip away very quickly.
Why do veterans traveling to and from Fishman Island like to use sea beasts to pull their boats? The reason is that after entering the deep sea, the speed of the ocean current slows down. If the ship is only driven forward by the speed of the ocean current, it will be extremely slow.
Given the width of the Red Earth Continent, even at the narrowest holy place, it would take a considerable amount of time to reach the Fishman Island located in the center of the bottom if one only relied on ocean currents as power.
This may lead to a situation where there is not enough air, resulting in almost no tolerance for errors.
But with sea beasts pulling the boat, the speed is countless times faster than relying on ocean currents to push it, thus indirectly improving the fault tolerance rate.
Another thing is that sea beasts are much more sensitive than humans in the deep sea. Once they sense danger, they will flee at all costs.
Therefore, all veterans like to find sea beasts before sailing, beat them up and train them, and then set off for Fishman Island, instead of temporarily catching the manatee Mumu to serve as labor to pull the boat like the Caribou brothers did.
Of course, as a user of the Float-Float Fruit, Li De naturally doesn't need sea beasts to pull the boat.
As for sensing the danger on the seabed, there are seven people on the ship who are constantly scanning the situation around the ship.
After advancing rapidly along the ocean current for about an hour, after Delta had driven away the sea beasts twice, everyone felt the temperature rising rapidly.
Then, puffs of thick smoke accompanied by red light emitting heat energy appeared in everyone's sight.
"Captain, we have entered the hydrothermal deposit area. I have to speed up again." Kalina shouted after taking off the clothes on the ship.
After all, this is an area where submarine volcanoes frequently occur. Once a volcano erupts, it is no joke.
"Then speed up!" Li De replied immediately.
After all, the eruption of the underwater volcano in the anime is quite scary.
After safely passing through the underwater volcanic area, a narrow and bottomless trench finally appeared.
After going down along the trench for more than a thousand meters, the first glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of Li De and others.
"There's light?!"
"In this abyss nearly ten thousand meters deep?"
"It's unbelievable!"
“Isn’t this a trap for anglerfish?”
"No, the anglerfish only has one ball of light, but this one illuminates the entire trench!"
"Looks like we're almost at Fishman Island!"
"Look ahead, we've reached the exit of the trench."
Following the voices of the crowd, the Pure White Knight finally arrived at the exit of the trench.
What caught my eye was the pure white sand, with countless fish and sea beasts swimming leisurely around. In the distance, two islands, one large and one small, were enveloped by huge bubbles, bathing in the soft sunlight.
Finally arrived at Fishman Island.
"Hey, Sid, are you dreaming? Why is there sunlight under the sea?" Claire asked Reed excitedly at this moment.
"This sunlight comes from the top of the Red Earth Continent. After the Sun Tree Eve receives the sunlight, it is emitted through the roots." Li De answered according to the knowledge of the pirate world.
“Amazing trees!”
“Incredible views!”
“Incredible adventure!”
“Yes, everything is so incredible.”
"Lina, slow down and give the other party some time to react."
"Yes, Captain!"
Amid the discussion, the Pure White Knight slowly approached the border entrance of Fishman Island.
"Hey, another pirate ship has arrived."
"Yeah, trouble comes again!"
"No, look at that mark!"
"No way, how could such a big shot come here?!"
"Shouldn't we go through the Holy Land even if we want to enter the New World?"
"Notify His Majesty Neptune immediately!"
"Let's say that one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kamen Rider Cid, led his Kamen Pirates into Fishman Island."
An hour later, the Pure White Knight officially passed through the entrance of Fishman Island.
After the bubble layer broke away, the ship naturally followed the sea water to the port.
"Welcome, Lord Cid, the 'Kamen Rider' of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I am Neptune of the Kingdom of Ryugu." Before going ashore, a huge half-human, half-fish creature appeared in the sight of Reed and others.
"It's such an honor to have you greet me in person, King Neptune!" Reed came to the bow and answered Neptune, who was more than twelve meters tall.
"Sir Sid, you are too polite." Neptune did not expect that Reed's answer would be so aristocratic.
"This is the proper etiquette. I hope King Neptune doesn't mind. After all, I didn't notify you in advance, so it's an imprudent visit." Li De said slowly.
"No, no, it's great honor for Fishman Island that Lord Sid is here. Please follow me to Ryugu Castle so that I can welcome you." Although Neptune is big, he is not rough.
"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful." Li De replied with a smile.
After all, Ryugu Castle is also one of Reed's tourist attractions, so it would be best if Neptune could invite him.
A few days later, after touring Fishman Island and tasting the candies and snacks that BIGMOM could not forget, Li De and his party set out on their journey again.
Although the underwater scenery is also unique, Fishman Island is not as fresh as Angel Island, not to mention the other features. The air is filled with fishy smell.
Therefore, after you have finished your visit, there is no need to stay any longer.
After the Pure White Knight was re-coated with a film and a super floating log was tied to the bow, this magical piece of wood pulled the Pure White Knights all the way up to the surface of the sea.
After completing the journey without any danger and resurfacing, the Pure White Knight sailed forward at a leisurely pace.
"Sid, where are we going next?" Claire couldn't help but ask.
"I'm going to Dressrosa alone." Reed replied in an inexplicable voice.
"Going alone?" Claire couldn't help but ask.
"Well, don't let the outside world know that I'm gone. I'll be back when I'm done." After Reed gave Claire instructions, he used teleportation magic to go directly to Dressrosa.
After arriving in Dressrosa, Reed was not in a hurry to cause trouble, and his main purpose of coming here was not to cause trouble.
After wandering around the Dressrosa Palace for two days, Li De finally got the opportunity he wanted.
Then, at a certain distance from the Dressrosa Palace, Reed met a beautiful woman holding a cigarette alone.
"Beautiful lady, can you listen to my request?" Li De walked straight up and said to Baby-5 who was dressed in maid outfit.
"Am I needed?" Baby-5 couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I really need you to sign this contract." Li De immediately took out a slave contract.
"This contract is..." Baby-5 immediately felt the content of the slave contract.
"I need you to sign the contract!" Li De said again firmly.
"Okay, I'll sign!" Baby-5 signed the slave contract that Reed took out without any hesitation.
The whole process was simple and without any twists and turns, although Baby-5 rejected it in her heart when she first saw the slave contract.
But when Li De spoke again in a tough manner, Baby-5's strange personality distorted her original intention, otherwise Baby-5 would not have signed the contract no matter what.
In fact, when Li De first came to the pirate world to carry out a mission, he wanted to try it with Baby-5.
After all, in the entire pirate world, perhaps only someone with her personality has any meaning in trying.
The reason why Baby-5 was not found last time was mainly because Reed’s demand for slaves was very low at that time.
Although it is still very low now, Doflamingo has provoked himself, otherwise Reed might not have come to Baby-5 to try.
"Go back as if nothing happened. Otherwise, keep everything as usual and don't let others notice any flaws. I'll pick you up when the time is right." After signing the contract, Li De said this to Baby-5.
"I understand, my master!" Baby-5 said, then passed by Li De and returned to the palace.
As for Reed, he returned to the Pure White Knight through teleportation magic.
He did not take Baby-5 with him because Reed planned to take her with him when he left this world.
But before that, letting her on board would surely lead to some unnecessary conflicts with Doflamingo.
In addition, Reed plans to use the Don Quixote family members to teach Baby-5 a good lesson.
Of course, these things will be put aside for the end. For now, just travel and wait.
However, Li De did not follow the record pointer all the way forward, but relied on the life card obtained from the World Government to find the Golden Emperor's ship.
Li De felt quite regretful that he didn't come to visit Gran Tesoro, the largest entertainment city in the pirate world last time.
Because the conditions at that time did not allow it, not only did I have to adapt to my new body, but I also had to learn kendo, so time really could not be wasted.
But this time we have plenty of time, so we naturally won’t miss it.
Gild Tesoro did not do anything strange about Reed's arrival.
Because of the gold powder in his passage, not a single bit of it could fall onto the Pure White Knight, let alone be sucked into someone's body.
This alone made Gild Tesoro a little wary of Reed, not to mention that Reed also held the title of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which gave him even less reason to take the initiative.
So Li De and others had a great time traveling on Gulan Tesoro.
However, this happy time was a bit short. In less than half a month, Li De received a compulsory conscription order from the World Government.
That's right, after Teach had identified the goal, it took him less than twenty days to capture Ace alive and send him to the Navy Headquarters.
Sengoku also received a decision from the Five Elders to publicly execute Ace. As a result, a war between the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates was inevitable.
Of course, this news will not be made public for now. After all, it takes time for the navy to draw forces from all over the world.
"Mr. Sid, we will send a warship to meet you next!" On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the staff member responsible for notification said to Li De after confirming Li De's location.
"No need. I'm not used to riding on a warship. Besides, I still have plenty of time, so I'll just go back to the Sabaody Archipelago by myself." Li De directly rejected the request for pick-up.
"Then please be sure to arrive as soon as possible." The staff did not force Li De to refuse to pick him up, but emphasized it.
"Okay, I will arrive at the Red Harbor three days before the time published in the newspaper." Li De hung up the phone after saying that.
