Isn't it normal for the water to go in the left ear and out the right ear?

After reaching a consensus, the Straw Hat Pirates immediately fled as fast as possible.

As the Going Merry sailed further and further away into the distance, Yang Ming's personal secretary, Kalifa, stood beside him and whispered:

"Boss, should we speed up and catch up?"

The Merry was a small to medium-sized three-masted sailing ship. It was faster than larger ships, but due to its reliance on wind power, its speed was far slower than that of steam-powered steel warships.

If Yang Ming wanted to, he could catch up in no time.

"No need."

Yang Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"I'll give them a little surprise first."

As Yang Ming finished speaking, a series of hurricanes suddenly swept across the sea.

Under the influence of the hurricane, this sea area suddenly became extremely dangerous, as if a giant was forcefully stirring up the turbid seawater. The sea was stirred up and tossed about, and huge waves surged up one after another. The height of the waves varied, from three to five meters high to more than ten meters high.

From a distance, it looked as if a moving wall was rolling swiftly toward the Merry, trying to engulf everything in its path and tear the small Merry to shreds.

"Oh my God!"

The deck rocked violently up and down. Nami only had time to grab the mast with both hands to avoid being thrown off, and she screamed repeatedly in fright.

The others fared no better, rolling around like bowling balls on the swaying boat, getting bruised and battered.

"How could such a huge hurricane suddenly appear?"

A million questions linger in everyone's mind.

As a navigator, Nami is familiar with the climate changes in various sea areas and understands the intricacies involved.

Generally speaking, for such a massive hurricane to form over the ocean, the hot and humid tropical ocean surface provides favorable meteorological conditions for its formation.

The higher the ocean surface temperature, the faster the seawater evaporates. A large amount of warm, moist air expands and rises, and when it cools and condenses in the air to form water droplets, it releases a lot of heat, thus intensifying the evaporation of water vapor.

Because the density of warm air is lower than that of the surrounding air, the pressure at sea level becomes lower than that of the surrounding area. Similar to the principle that water flows downhill, the spongy air in the surrounding area with higher air pressure will continuously flow into the hurricane-forming area with lower air pressure. During the flow process, the air will be affected by the Coriolis force and start to rotate.

As heat accumulates, the air rotates faster and faster, eventually forming a hurricane.

Nami looked up at the sky. It was early autumn, and the weather was crisp and clear. Where did the ocean get so much heat? It wasn't the height of summer.

Nami could tell with her toes that this must be the work of that all-powerful Shura General!

But Nami couldn't explain this to Luffy and the others.

Otherwise, her undercover identity would be exposed!

With the sea so turbulent and unpredictable, the Merry could barely maintain its stability and avoid being capsized by the large waves, let alone navigate normally.

This is why weight is a crucial indicator in evaluating a ship's various conditions.

Generally speaking, the heavier a ship is, the less likely it is to capsize at sea.

In such harsh conditions, small to medium-sized three-masted sailing ships like the Going Merry are in the most danger. Normally, the Straw Hat Pirates would dock in advance and anchor the ship to avoid being affected by strong winds and waves.

As the Merry slowed down, the steel warships chasing behind it seemed unaffected, cutting through the waves as if nothing had happened. White spray churned along the sides of the ship, and a tall, imposing figure could be seen standing at the bow, his pure white naval cloak fluttering in the wind, and a resolute and handsome face gradually came into view.

At this point, even the most obtuse person would realize that the sudden hurricane on the sea was created by this Asura General.

How can a human control a hurricane?

This was simply unbelievable for the Straw Hat Pirates, who were still struggling in the East Blue.

Roronoa Zoro had a Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and two steel swords in his hands.

Luffy was eager to try his hand at it.

Sanji moved his ankles, the tips of his shoes lightly touching the deck.

Nami and Usopp were clinging to the mast, shivering.

The entire Straw Hat Pirates were on high alert, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air.

close!

Closer!

That figure, who resembled a god of war, exerted immense pressure on everyone simply by standing at the bow of the ship.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Who in this world doesn't know the name of the Asura General?

Suddenly, the figure leaped up like a swan, somersaulted in mid-air, and landed steadily in front of Luffy. The moment it opened its mouth, everyone was completely bewildered.

"My foolish brother!"

"Is this how you treat your guests?"

Chapter 276 Luffy, you're not even as good as my soldiers.

quiet!

silence!

Deadly quiet!

The Straw Hat crew seemed to be petrified; everyone except Luffy stood frozen in place.

Usopp was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he exclaimed:

"The Asura General is actually Luffy's brother?"

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't daydreaming.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Naruto. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"

Yang Ming's attention was drawn to the lottery wheel that was out of sight of others.

【Wood Release! Advent of the Tree World】: An upgraded version of the Advent of the Tree World, which causes the trees sleeping in the earth to grow rapidly and become larger. It can control these trees at will. The large branches that rise from the ground can cut through mountains, pass through rocks, and cover the entire ground. Several flowers will grow on the trees, and the flowers can produce poisonous pollen after blooming.

Seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Ming satisfied his slightly perverse desires and felt a sense of pleasure, like eating a bite of ice cream on a hot summer day.

I am Garp's disciple.

I became sworn brothers with the dragon.

Using the rounding method, I am Luffy's brother.

That's perfectly fine!

The others aren't mind readers, so they have no idea what he's thinking.

Roronoa Zoro stared at the figure before him, secretly astonished.

Since their parting years ago, only a few years have passed, and Yang Ming has grown to two meters tall, two heads taller than Roronoa Zoro.

In Yang Ming's presence, Roronoa Zoro seemed inherently inferior.

"Yang Ming, I challenge you!"

Roronoa Zoro roared, his three swords crossed in front of him, his knees slightly bent, his body leaning forward, his muscles tense, making him look like a cheetah poised to pounce on its prey at any moment.

Luffy and his companions could all see that Roronoa Zoro's starting stance was actually the prelude to his most powerful attack, Tiger Hunt.

Before anyone could intervene, a sharp, scolding voice came from the steel warship:

"Zoro, stop!"

"No disrespect to the general is permitted!"

Accompanying the sharp rebuke was a tall and slender figure. It was as if Guina had spread her wings like a bird, and with a sudden tap of her feet, she floated lightly through the air.

It's often said that girls mature much earlier than boys, and that's absolutely true.

Kuina is slightly older than Roronoa Zoro and has now grown into a beautiful young woman. Her well-tailored naval uniform makes her look both cool and handsome. Beneath her neatly trimmed short hair is a long neck, and her bright, star-like eyes are glaring angrily at her childhood friend.

What was once a tender lotus bud has now become a towering hill, only to be admired from afar. It stretches the pure white dress high, making one wonder if it might even burst open the buttons.

Kuina's figure is truly a perfect balance of three parts body and seven parts long legs. Those long legs stretch her trousers to a taut line. It's hard to imagine what a magnificent sight it would be if a cannon were set up there. It would probably be enough to make people die from exhaustion.

It would have been better if Kuina hadn't appeared; now that she's here, Roronoa Zoro's hair looks even greener.

"Kuina, don't stop me! This is a contest between men!"

Having said that, Roronoa Zoro charged forward like a mad bull that had seen a red cloth.

Furthermore, due to his intense emotions, Roronoa Zoro exuded a fierce aura.

Luffy had never seen Roronoa Zoro perform like this before, and exclaimed in surprise:

What's wrong with Zoro?

Sanji looked thoughtful and speculated:

"Could this green algae head have been cuckolded?"

Seeing that Roronoa Zoro was still stubbornly clinging to his ways, Kuina placed her right hand on the hilt of her sword.

With a clang, the famous sword Qiushui was slowly drawn, and the long, narrow black blade reflected Kuina's cool and aloof face.

Despite Roronoa Zoro's speed, he appeared as slow as a child in Kuina's eyes.

"clang!!!"

The famous sword, Autumn Water, easily parried the three menacing blades, creating intense sparks from their friction.

Kuina held the knife in one hand, her right arm steady and seemingly unaffected, and said calmly:

"Zoro, do you see this? This is the difference between you and me now."

"Since joining the Navy, especially following the Admiral on his travels around the country, I have realized how narrow-minded I was before. If I had stayed in the East China Sea and in the dojo my father ran, I would never have been able to reach the level I have today."

Having said that, Kuina easily pushed Rorona Zoron away.
