I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"Ah! What on earth happened?"

........

"Hmph, go ahead, if that's how you do things."

Long waved his hand to bid farewell to his son.

Smoker got up from the ground and looked at the dragon with a puzzled expression.

Why did you help that kid, Dragon?!

Dragon turned around, leaving Smoker with his back to him.

"What reason could possibly stop a man from setting sail?"

Smoker remained silent, gripped his jigs, and instantly charged towards the dragon's back.

All I can say is that they have guts.

But after taking only two steps, he was pressed to the ground by a powerful gust of wind and could not move, watching helplessly as the dragon left.

........

Just as the rope holding the Going Merry was about to fall, Luffy and his two companions appeared.

"Luffy!"

"Hurry up and get on the boat, the ropes are about to give way."

Usopp shouted, and before he could finish speaking, the rope snapped with a snap.

Bai Yun immediately shouted, "Luffy, get on the ship yourself!"

He then stretched out his arms, grabbed Zoro and Sanji's clothes, and pulled them back.

As the arm retracted, the combined force of their weight nearly sent Bai Yun flying.

So when the two reached the boat's range, Bai Yun immediately let go and jumped.

Zoro and Sanji lost control of their bodies in mid-air and crashed straight into each other.

Bai Yun landed, stepping on their backs one after the other.

"Welcome back."

"Thank you so much!" ×2

.........

"Oh dear, the boat looks like it's going to capsize!"

With the storm and huge waves, the Going Merry was like riding a roller coaster, violently rocking up and down – a truly exhilarating experience for anyone suffering from seasickness.

Did you see that light?

Nami stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the light shining from afar.

"Is it the island's lighthouse?"

"Navigation light".

"The entrance to the Grand Line is right in front of that light."

"what to do?"

Ignoring her wet hair, Nami turned her head and asked.

Sanji immediately brought out a wooden barrel.

"Alright, let's perform a ceremony to mark our entry into the Grand Line."

Usopp was so panicked that his nose was trembling.

"Huh? We're going to drive in through this storm?"

"Haha, isn't this more interesting?"

Bai Yun turned his umbrella back into a bracelet. Everyone else was getting wet in the rain, making him seem pretentious.

........

The ceremony can also be called "a meeting with feet".

Sanji was the first to place his heels against the barrel.

"I'm here to find the Blue Ocean."

Next up is Luffy.

"I will become the Pirate King!"

Sauron.

"I want to become a great swordsman."

Nami.

"I did this so that I could draw a world map."

Usopp, trembling, placed his leg on it as well.

"Ah...so I am destined to become a brave warrior of the sea."

Only Bai Yun was left, and everyone looked at Bai Yun.

Bai Yun thought for a moment and then filled the last empty seat.

"I'm going to the docks to get some fries, so I can grow old with my brothers and buddies!"

All six feet are gathered.

The six of them smiled and shouted in unison.

"Set sail! Towards the Grand Line!!"

Then, they pressed down hard on the wooden barrel with both feet, breaking it!

The ceremony is completed.

Wooden Bucket: Is no one going to speak up for me? You're all so full of ambition, while I'm just waiting to be crushed to pieces?

Chapter 95 The Straw Hat Pirates' Guiding Light

"The entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain."

Because the lighthouse light went out (because Crocus was "vacationing" inside Laboon's belly at that time).

Luffy and his crew went into the kitchen and used the nautical chart to confirm their course.

"Mountain?"

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp all had question marks on their faces.

"Yes, although I don't quite believe it either, the navigation light is indeed standing on the upside-down mountain on the Red Earth Continent."

"So...so we're going to crash into the mountain?"

Usopp swallowed hard. If it's a mountain, how are they going to get across?

"Of course not." ×2

Bai Yun and Nami spoke at the same time.

Nami looked at Bai Yun with some surprise.

Bai Yun cleared his throat and continued.

"Upside Down Mountain is an incredible and dangerous mountain. It is the entrance to the Grand Line, so it is also called the 'Incredible Mountain'."

There are five sea channels on the upside-down mountain, forming an X-shape, with the ocean currents flowing in four directions and out one.

Four of the sea channels lead to the mountaintop.

The canal formed by the confluence of these four waterways connects four different sea areas: the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea, and the North China Sea.

The last canal flows into the Grand Line.

Everyone was stunned. A canal that could climb mountains?

Nami was puzzled. "Don't you know how to sail? Bai Yun?"

"But I am very knowledgeable."

Bai Yunhui smiled.

"Memorizing these dead facts is fine, but when it comes to navigation, I still have to rely on you, Miss Nami."

Nami didn't react, and picked up the sea chart. "So, according to Bai Yun, that's why we have to follow the ocean current to find the entrance to the canal, otherwise if we crash into the Upside-Down Mountain, we'll only end up with our ship destroyed and everyone dead."

"Oh...that's so dangerous!!"

Usopp hugged his own fearful self.

"It's so dangerous, why do we insist on entering through the [entrance]? Can't we just turn south and find another route?"

Zoro closed his eyes, scratched his temple, and asked.

"Wow, he even knows to head south. Zoro has a great sense of direction."

Bai Yun will not let go of any opportunity to act shamelessly.

Zoro was almost used to it, so he ignored him and waited for Nami's answer.

Luffy suddenly appeared.

"You're wrong about that."

Nami was a little surprised, but considering that Luffy and Bai Yun grew up together, it was normal for him to know.

"Yes, there's a big reason..."

But halfway through his sentence, Luffy didn't disappoint, saying, "Entering from the entrance feels so much better!"
