One Piece: Return of the Old Age

Chapter 19:

Upside-Down Mountain, Twin Straits

"Gulala, is this the Upside-Down Mountain, the entrance to the Grand Line? It is truly as amazing as some of the special islands in the New World."Whitebeard stood at the bow, looking at the Upside-Down Mountain in front of him.

"You haven’t seen Newgate, right? When Roger and I first came here, we were also shocked. This scene is shocking no matter how many times I see it. But the really interesting moment is when we go up the mountain."

Roya stood aside, leaning against the railing, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and smiled.

The huge Upside-Down Mountain that pierced the sky was an extremely magical mountain. The ocean currents from all over the world gathered here and reached their maximum. Following the four waterways of the Upside-Down Mountain, because the ocean currents reached their maximum strength here, the water in the four waterways here flowed from the bottom to the top, and it was perennial. The only thing that could be more shocking than this was the large upwelling current to the Sky Island.

Then, after the water from all over the world gathered at the highest point, it flowed into the Grand Route from the only waterway.

Geographically, this was one of the only two intersections between the Red Earth Continent and the Grand Route, and it was also the starting point and end point of the real Grand Route. Of course, the end point that truly represented the conquest of the Grand Route was not behind the Upside-Down Mountain, but the final island called Raftel.

Roya and his team had actually reached Raftel, and Roya even had a permanent pointer to Raftel in his hand. That island did contain secrets and power that could subvert the world.

Unfortunately, they went too early.

"I really saw some interesting things this time. Gulala." The sound of Whitebeard drinking and laughing interrupted Roya's memories.

Whitebeard was a little happy. Although he once stood at the top of pirates, he was still a pirate in essence. He liked adventure and travel, and the strange sights, adventures and memories he saw on the route were the best treasures.

Although he traveled to many places, he had never been to Upside Down Mountain. After all, his hometown was in the New World, he grew up and fought in the New World, and even had his family in the New World. Occasionally, he would pass by Fishman Island to the first half of the Grand Line, but he would never come to such a far entrance, Upside Down Mountain.

"Then where is that guy Crocus? How can we find him? We can't detect his presence here." Whitebeard activated his observation Haki and spoke. Roya didn't say anything, but looked at the sea quietly. Whitebeard followed his gaze and saw a huge shadow under the sea, like a shadow of an island.

"This is an island whale. Gulala, there is actually an island whale here. This kind of large sea king is rare even in the New World. It actually appears here."Whitebeard said in surprise

"It's coming." Luo Ya suddenly laughed.

The next moment

""Boom."

A large amount of seawater slapped up into the sky, and the sea surface fluctuated violently, hitting the hull of the End of Time, and the 100-meter-long ship shook violently.

Such a violent situation was caused by just a whale breaking the water.

Of course, this was not an ordinary whale.

Island whales are large sea kings. The adult body can reach thousands of meters, like a small island. Even in the New World, it is the largest among the sea kings.

In front of this island whale, the 100-meter hull of the End of Time is not as big as his eyes.

"Gulala, that crooked logo on the head of this island whale, is it the Straw Hat Boy?" Whitebeard laughed as he pointed at the pattern on Lab's head.

"Ah, that boy is sometimes very reliable."Roya looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar straw hat skull pattern on Lab's head and smiled.

He said familiar because he had a deep impression of this scene in the anime, and he said unfamiliar because he had lived in this world for at least fifty years.

Seeing the scene in the anime at this moment, he had an indescribable feeling.

""Roar."

When Roya was reminiscing, Laboo let out a huge and deep roar. It was about to hit the Red Earth Continent again. Although the collision was not so violent after the agreement with Luffy, it still did not give up the idea of going directly to the New World through the Red Earth Continent.

After all, it had been waiting for fifty years.

""Get ready, take in the sails, hold steady, Newgate." Roya reminded with a big laugh.

As Lab roared violently, the island-like mouth opened, and a large amount of seawater was sucked into its mouth like a whirlpool. Roya did not control the boat to resist, but went directly along the current.

"Humph, stop joking, kid, this is just child's play in my sailing career."Whitebeard laughed and retorted.

The ship flowed into Lab's mouth along with the turbulent sea water, and then, as Lab's mouth closed, it became dark, and slowly, the water flow became smooth.

After passing the part that seemed like a throat, the space instantly became empty and brighter.

"Gulala, this is really interesting."Whitebeard laughed and said,"Is there a world in the stomach of the island whale?"

At this moment, they should be in the stomach of the island whale, but no one would think of this place as a stomach.

The blue sky, the sea, and even a few seagulls and white clouds in the sky, the sunshine here is also very good, it seems very bright

"It's really hard to imagine these paintings."Luo Ya was also a little shocked.

Facts have proved that if people are really free, they can indeed create some miraculous scenes.

""Kurokas, you are really idle." Luo Ya held his chin and said helplessly, this Lab is much bigger than it is shown in the anime, and Kurokas can actually fill the entire stomach wall, it must have taken more than ten years to persist, it is rare for a person to be so idle

"There's a little guy coming." Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge giant squid broke out of the water, each of its tentacles was a hundred meters long.

"You make the move or I make the move."Whitebeard turned his head and asked with a smile, as if he hadn't seen it.

This kind of sea king is indeed a small guy to them, but this guy can also be used to brag. The king of the near sea only dared to attack one of the four emperors, and this giant squid attacked two emperors.

"No, someone helped us." Luo Ya lay on the railing, not paying any attention to the little squid in front of him.

""Swish."

After Luo Ya finished speaking, a huge whale harpoon flew directly from a distance and instantly pierced the giant squid's vitals, killing it with one blow.

"Your observation Haki is still as good as ever."Whitebeard glanced at Roya and laughed.

The giant squid was killed instantly. Roya and his companions looked in the direction of the whale harpoon and saw an island in front of them.

On the island, an old man with a feather on his head came out with a newspaper.

""Hey, Crocus, long time no see." Roya waved with a nostalgic smile on his face.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Crocus' eyes widened instantly, bloodshot, staring at Roya tightly, and the invisible aura was released instantly, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn.

Even Whitebeard was a little confused, he should not have found the wrong person.

There was silence for more than ten seconds, and the atmosphere was solemn to the highest point.

Crocus spoke:"Long time no see, Roya"

"Stop playing with your inexplicable sense of humor, Kurokas."

Even though Luo Ya has a good temper, he couldn't help but want to slap him. He was like this on the boat at the beginning. I didn't expect that more than 20 years later, he is still like this.

P.S. If you like it, you can search this clip. The part where Kurokas comes out is hilarious.
