Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

"what is this?"

Luffy and Usopp looked at Nami with puzzled expressions.

Clearly, they had never heard of the Calm Belt.

In fact, apart from Nami and Simon.

Others had little understanding of the dangers here.

"The doldrums are areas of sea where there is no wind!"

Nami said in a panic.

"Nami's superhuman strength?"

Luffy joked nonchalantly.

"Fools, stop slacking off and start rowing!"

"We need to get back to the route we were on!"

Nami urged him on.

"Yes, Nami-san!"

Although I don't quite understand it.

However, Sanji unconditionally supports Nami's decision.

But others remained indifferent.

After all, they had no idea how dangerous this area of ​​the sea was.

"What are you so nervous about, Nami!"

"And also, you asked us to row a boat, but this is a sailboat?"

Zoro looked at Nami with a puzzled expression and asked her a question.

He didn't detect any danger.

"Yeah! It was so hard to shake off the navy."

"Why bother going back to the area where the navy is on high alert?"

Usopp shrugged, equally puzzled.

"Stop talking nonsense and just listen to me, something terrible has happened!"

Nami was very annoyed.

Now is not the time to explain this.

"The sea is so calm!"

Luffy was equally puzzled.

"Uh-huh!"

Usopp agreed, saying there was no danger at all!

Nami was very annoyed and took out the nautical chart, preparing to explain it to everyone in detail.

However, at this moment, Ximen Yan stepped forward.

"When sailing on the high seas, you must listen to the navigator."

"Row the boat now!"

"If you have any questions, we'll explain them to you once we leave the Calm Belt."

Is now the time to explain this?

These people really don't seem nervous at all!

Although I still don't quite understand, what Ximen Yan said doesn't seem to be wrong.

So, at Ximen Yan's urging, everyone began to prepare to find oars and row the boat.

However, before everyone could get their paddles, the Going Merry suddenly shook.

"Was it still too late?"

Ximen Yan was quite helpless, and then he gripped the edge of the boat tightly.

Since we haven't had time yet, let's just wait quietly!

Ultimately, the Going Merry was able to escape the Calm Belt.

……

The surrounding seawater began to churn, and one after another, enormous sea kings emerged from the surface.

The Going Merry wasn't even as big as the eyes of these sea kings.

The only lucky thing was that a huge sea king with black and white stripes and a hippopotamus head appeared right below the Going Merry.

They placed the Going Merry on top of their heads to prevent it from being discovered by other sea kings.

"The Calm Belt is the lair of sea kings, and a super-large one at that!"

"The reason why no one can cross the Calm Belt is because of them!"

Nami was clinging to the mast, completely at a loss for what to do.

Although she was very confident in her sailing abilities.

But she was helpless against the sea kings surrounding her!

"So, how should we handle this situation?"

Sanji asked the group in a low voice.

He was afraid that his voice would be too loud and disturb the sea kings.

"In short, everyone, don't move for now."

"They'll dive back into the sea sooner or later, and then they'll paddle desperately to escape!"

Zoro was also quite agitated at this moment.

After all, with such a massive sea king, he probably couldn't even cut through its skin with a single slash!

"No!"

Usopp shouted in a panic.

Nami quickly covered Usopp's mouth.

However, it was still late.

A small sea monster resembling a yellow-skinned frog.

Hearing the sound, they looked up at the top of the hippopotamus-headed sea king and instantly spotted the Going Merry.

So he immediately jumped from the sea onto the Going Merry.

The hippopotamus-headed sea king noticed the frog-headed sea king's movements and dodged.

For the sea king, it was just a slight movement.

However, the Going Merry tilted significantly as a result.

Apis lost her grip and was instantly flung away, landing in the mouth of the frog-like sea king.

"Danger!"

Luffy quickly reached out and grabbed Apis.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But then they saw Ximen Yan suddenly jump towards the frog-like sea king.

This is naturally because Ximen Yan has his eye on this frog-like sea king.

It's just a small sea king, so it's not difficult to deal with.

Ximenyan and the frog-like sea king met in the air.

The frog-like sea king didn't care at all, after all, compared to it, Ximen Yan was too insignificant.

And at the moment the two meet.

Ximen Yan plunged the flame-wreathed knife in his hand directly into the head of the frog-sea king.

However, it only barely pierced the skull of the frog-sea king.

Such injuries are not fatal to frog-like sea kings.

However, after the knife pierced the skull of the frog-sea king, flames suddenly erupted from the blade.

The flame temperature that Ximenyan can now control definitely exceeds 1,500 degrees Celsius.

Extremely high temperatures, enough to melt steel, erupted in the brain of the frog-like sea king.

The frog-like sea monster died without even feeling any pain.

They quickly used the food storage space to store the frogs and sea kings.

While suspended in mid-air, Ximen Yan used the flames left on the Going Merry to return directly to it using Fire Release.

Chapter 72 Successfully Escaped the Calm Belt

Everyone stared blankly as Simon Yan reappeared on the Going Merry.

Was it just their imagination?

But that frog-like sea king has indeed disappeared, hasn't it?

"Wow, that's amazing! Ximen Yan, how did you do that?"

As Luffy pulled Apis up, he looked at Simon with shining eyes.

He was just about to pull Ximen Yan up with him.

Unexpectedly, Simon returned to the Going Merry in an instant.

Not only Luffy was curious, but everyone else looked at Ximen Yan with great curiosity as well.

"It's just my ability!"

Ximen Yan said calmly.

Then Ximen Yan handed the knife in his hand to Zoro.

"Oh, by the way, thanks Zoro for the knife."

The sword he just used was the Sandai Kitetsu, which he borrowed from Zoro.

Although it wasn't with Zoro's consent.

After all, using your fists is obviously not suitable for breaking through the bones of a sea king.

So he borrowed a sword from Zoro.

"You guy."

Zoro gave Ximen Yan a disapproving look.

They just casually used his knife.

However, Zoro was quite surprised by Ximen Yan's strength.

Just now, when Ximen Yan drew the Sandai Kitetsu.

Although he saw it, he didn't have time to react at all.

In other words, if Ximen Yan were to attack him, he might be instantly defeated by Ximen Yan!

……

Just as everyone was about to ask Ximen Yan some questions, Apis suddenly called out to Luffy.

"Luffy, stretch your arm down one more time!"

Just now, Abis only saw Ximen Yan jump down.
