The Great Voyage: A Family of Two Swordsmen, the Younger Brother is Golden Lion

They were certain that the ship was flying every second!

The brothers' boat belongs to the sky, an absolute high-speed racetrack!

That speed, wow, it's something ordinary ships can't even dream of!

Even though the warships were flying with all their might.

On the left!

Nine o'clock!

That deserted island is a fixed reference point; there's no way you can escape it!

And you're telling me it didn't move?

In other words, their boat didn't seem to have moved at all all morning!

"Is the ship possessed? Has it encountered a ghost?"

Kazan couldn't help but give him a puzzled look.

020: The Most Disastrous Devil Fruit in History, and the Encounter of an Era

"Shiki, I'll go down and take a look!"

Kazan left a message and immediately took to the air.

We are preparing to examine the situation in detail.

He always believed that everything has a reason.

Even if it's metaphysics.

Just as Kazan took off, he immediately felt a resistance!

It was as if an invisible hand was dragging him along!

"It's the wind that's changing..."

Muttering something, Kazan, with his powerful physique and precise control over the Float-Float Fruit, forcibly resisted this force.

It flew towards the bottom of the ship.

Upon reaching the bottom of the ship, Kazan examined the vessel from all angles, leaving no part unchecked. Finding nothing unusual, he immediately went down to the surface to observe the ocean currents and sense the movement of the waves. He felt that the waves were just a bit larger, nothing particularly special.

Until Kazan flew 3000 meters into the air!

He was finally completely shocked by what he saw!

Looking out over the sea, there is a perfectly round, reddish-yellow island.

The circular island is surrounded by a perfectly circular sea area with mirror-like azure waters.

Kazan immediately realized that this area of ​​the sea was not calm; it was a characteristic of islands in a windless zone!

Azure sea, reddish-yellow islands.

A pattern of large circles containing smaller circles!

however.

Moreover, there is a third ring outside these two circles!

Around the circular sea surface, there was a ring like a hula hoop. The seawater inside this ring was surging forward clockwise, and the surging waves were much more violent than the seawater in the New World Zheng Zheng Normal Sea Area outside the ring.

"Hiss—! I understand!"

"This is actually a regular, circular wind belt!"

"No wonder our ships hadn't moved at all after sailing for so long. It turns out the warships were sailing in a wind belt, circling that island!!!"

"We had been using the island as a reference point, and since the island is perfectly round, it looks the same no matter which way you look at it, just like a space station orbiting the equator. No matter how many times it orbits in space, the Earth looks the same size to them!"

The Grand Line truly lives up to its name.

Even the islands we stumble upon have unique geographical features and special weather conditions.

Kazan inwardly marveled as he flew toward the warship below.

Faced with such an interesting island, Kazan's curiosity was piqued, and he decided to take Shiki to see it, hoping to broaden his horizons. So he said to Shiki, "Let's go! Let's go check out the island!"

Upon hearing this, Shiki, who was playing with a knife, immediately perked up.

After all, he had suggested exploring the island that morning, but Kazan had asked him to temper his sword.

After tempering the blade for so long, the island still exists.

Isn't this fate?

"Hahahaha! I'll adjust the sails right away!" Shiki exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

However, Kazan shook his head. He knew that his warships had been flying for six hours, unknowingly circling the island countless times. Relying on sails, they couldn't escape this 'wind belt'; they would only enter a vicious cycle.

Kazan then said, "Fold the sails and use your abilities to control the warships to move forward!"

“It doesn’t feel right!”

Shiki frowned immediately after using his ability: "My Float-Float Fruit feels like it's being pulled by something!"

"?"

While questioning Kazan, he used his floating ability.

The sensation came through.

Just as Shiki said, when using the Float-Float Fruit to control the ship, there was a strange force resisting it invisibly, as if someone was preventing the warship from landing on the island.

The test lasted twenty minutes.

The two brothers gave up completely.

Because they also discovered that the winds in this wind belt seemed to follow some kind of rule, and any large objects, such as ships, would be put into a hunting mode as soon as they entered.

Here, it's like the slime on a spider web; any flying insect that comes up gets stuck, and the same is true for the boat.

This invisible force changes with the magnitude of the opposing force. When the two exert their strength, this force will also exert its strength at the same time. In such a struggle, even if the two of them exert all their strength to control the warship, they will not be able to escape the ring-shaped wind belt.

What immense power that is!

That's really weird!

Kazan speculated that the sea and sky within the circular space were one entity.

Whether it's a ship entering from the sea or from the sky.

They will all be captured by the wind belt!

We've entered an inescapable vicious cycle!

Perhaps it's because of the difference in size between the human body and the ship. Kagazan had previously experimented and found that if he put in more effort, he could still fly out.

It's a bit of a pity though...

This warship may remain here forever.

It goes around in circles day after day until it rots.

No longer wanting to think about it, Kazan decided to go ashore to check on the situation. Considering how bizarre things had been, he cautiously said, "Shiki, you stay on the ship. I'll go to the island and check things out first. You can come back if everything's alright!"

With that, Kazan flew toward the central island.

hiss--!

The resistance is really strong!

......

On the other side, just a few minutes ago...

Kazan is located in the same wind belt, on the outer edge.

Normal sea surface in the New World.

Another warship furled its sails and remained stationary on the sea, bobbing up and down.

"Tsk tsk tsk, earning money for baby formula is really hard!"

Looking at the man in front of her who had taken off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique.

Another burly man complained, "Garp, you bastard! Dragon's just learned to walk, he's only six months old! And you just dumped the kid in the East Sea? Do you want to raise your hand and swear to Buddha that you're really taking the child seriously?"

Karp threw his shirt on the deck, and soldiers immediately came up to pick it up.

"Major Admiral Garp, I'll take over!"

Garp looked at Sengoku.

"Hey! Sengoku, it's a rare day off, so I'm just venting a little. What's wrong with going for a swim? Want to come along?"

"My head hurts!" Sengoku said, rubbing his forehead.

These two are none other than the two Navy Supernovas who accepted the mission from headquarters to 'intercept and kill the Kazan brothers': Monkey D. Garp and Sengoku Sengoku.

Their warships, weary from their journey, headed for the waters near Wano Country, only to find their prey missing after waiting for over a week.
