Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Of course, Luffy controlled his strength and didn't use his full power.

"Boohoo..."

A heart-wrenching scream came from Rab.

The next second, it turned and rammed into Luffy, and the two clashed hand-to-hand.

A moment later, Luffy withdrew from the battle and leaped ashore.

Just then, Luffy spoke up loudly.

"Lab, I'm really strong, right?!"

Laboon stopped when he saw Luffy stop, and looked at him.

Then Luffy continued.

"Let's call this a draw!"

"Our battle is not yet over."

"Therefore, we definitely have to fight another match."

"You wait here until I've sailed around the Grand Line."

"I will come back here to see you again."

"Let's have another fight then!"

Laboon stared blankly at Luffy, then heard him continue.

"I assure you, I will help you find your former companions."

"After I have sailed around the Grand Line, I will bring news of them back here and reunite with you."

"Did you hear that, Raab?!"

Luffy shouted and asked.

At this moment, Raab's eyes were already filled with tears.

The next second, it raised its head and let out a long cry.

"Boohoo..."

...

"Alright! Mission accomplished!"

Luffy shouted with joy.

He was very satisfied with the enormous straw hat and skull pattern on Labu's head.

Then he spoke to Raab.

"Lab, this symbol is the one we agreed upon."

"Don't you dare knock it over before I come back to see you, okay?"

Raab smiled and nodded.

"Pop!"

Luffy smiled, stretched out his arm, and patted Laboon's head.

Crocus and the others smiled at the sight, enjoying this harmonious and beautiful moment.

After making an agreement with Laboon, Luffy and his crew boarded the Going Merry and prepared to set sail.

Before leaving, they all waved goodbye to Crocus and Lab.

"Goodbye, Crocus!"

"We're leaving, Raab!"

Rab looked up to the sky and let out a long cry to bid them farewell.

"Boohoo..."

Crocus watched the Going Merry gradually disappear into the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"What an amazing man!"

"Such terrifying talent and ability, even you couldn't have done it back then!"

"Right, Roger!"

...

After leaving Twin Capes, Luffy and his crew boarded the Going Merry and headed towards Whiskey Mountain.

And this was also the first time they had personally experienced the unpredictable weather and environment of the Grand Line.

When we set off, the sky was clear and blue, but before long, heavy snow began to fall.

Luffy and Uta were building a snowman on the deck, Nami was studying a map, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were training in the heavy snow, Nojiko was taking measures to protect the orange tree from the cold, and Vivi and Mr. 9 were sent by Luffy to shovel snow on the ship.

While everyone was busy with their own tasks, thunder rumbled in the sky again.

The bizarre and unpredictable weather left Nami, the navigator, completely bewildered, and she kept frowning.

"It seems you've underestimated the Grand Line!"

Vivi, shivering from the cold as she swept the snow, looked at Nami's troubled expression and said...

"By the way, no one has been at the helm since just now. Is that alright?"

Mr. 9, also curled up, asked with some concern.

"I just checked the direction..."

As Nami spoke, she glanced at the record pointer on her wrist.

Suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise.

"what?!"

"How...how could this happen?"

Hearing Nami's panicked voice, Luffy asked.

"What's wrong, Nami?"

Nami frowned and said with a troubled expression.

"Our ship has changed direction at some point and is now heading in the opposite direction."

The people on the ship were immediately filled with disbelief upon hearing this.

"What? Wasn't the ship moving in a straight line the whole time?"

"Yes! I was looking at that cloud in the sky the whole time, and I was following the direction of the cloud!"

Seeing this, Vivi and Mr. 9 looked at Nami's worried face and immediately adopted a haughty, lecturing posture.

"You've been tricked by the waves!"

"Are you really a navigator?"

"That's how the sea is here. Nothing—whether it's the wind, the sky, the clouds, or anything else—is reliable."

"The only constant is the direction the record pointer is pointing."

230 "Do you understand?"

Hearing the lecturing tone of the two, Nami's face immediately darkened, and her teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

He said angrily in a deep voice.

"You two bastards, are you trying to disembark here?"

Upon hearing this, Weiwei and the other woman trembled and immediately bowed their heads in apology.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

Just then, Usopp suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh! The waves are getting higher and higher."

Before long, a series of panicked reports came in one after another.

"An iceberg has been spotted ahead."

"Nami, it's getting very foggy!"

"Oh no, there's a hole in the bottom of the boat, it's leaking."

"The record pointer has shifted again!"

"What kind of sea is this?!"

Nami stared at the Log Pose, which had veered off course again, and buried her face in her hands in despair, tears welling up in her eyes.

This scene made Weiwei and her companion secretly chuckle.

"How did such a half-baked pirate crew even get to the Grand Line?"

"Hehehe... I think it won't be long before they have to escape the Grand Line."

Boom!

Boom!

Luffy punched Vivi and Nami once each, then looked at the despairing Nami and said...

"Nami, calm down!"

As he spoke, Luffy leaped to Nami's side, took off his straw hat, and placed it on her head.

"Don't forget, you're the navigator I've chosen!"

Feeling the familiar touch on her head, Nami was startled.

She thought of the time when Luffy saved her, and it seemed that she felt especially at ease after putting on this straw hat.

"I'm sorry, Luffy."

"As the navigator of this ship, I have just failed in my duty."

Nami apologized to Luffy and composed herself.

The next second, his gaze hardened, and he began to give orders to the people on the ship.

"Usopp, you take charge of the triangular sail. Turn the sail to the wind direction and catch the wind from the starboard side."

"Sanji, you take the helm and turn the ship 180 degrees to the left."

"Zoro..."

Nami gave the commands one after another, and the others followed suit and got busy.

During this time, Luffy also imparts his extraordinary understanding to everyone, enabling them to adapt more quickly and sail freely on the Grand Line.

Soon, the chaotic scene on the ship, filled with panic, became orderly.

The sudden change in team composition shocked both Weiwei and her companion.

Vivi, in particular, couldn't help but look at Luffy standing on the second floor, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"Such strong leadership!"

Although Luffy didn't do any work, just one sentence from him seemed to reassure the navigator, making the whole ship run smoothly.

Soon, thanks to everyone's efforts, the Merry was back on track and headed towards Whisky Hill.

The first major obstacle on the Grand Line has been perfectly overcome.

...

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

The Merry sailed smoothly on the sea.

"Hey, I can see an island!"
