Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

What the hell was in that boat?

Crocodile didn't want to ask Rowan directly, because that would make him very uncomfortable.

So until everyone came to the pier, he was still observing the ship, but he still couldn't see the clue.

Rowan glanced at Crocodile, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, the world government has been quite peaceful in this month."

Crocodile nodded, obviously absent-minded, and replied casually:

"Of course, after all, you gave them a 'reason' they couldn't refuse on Magnetic Drum Island."

Not long after leaving Drum Island, Crocodile also learned what Rowan had done.

Destroy an island—this may take some effort for Crocodile, but it is not difficult.

But it would be quite an exaggeration to simply divide an island into left and right halves without any movement, and at the same time, the distance between the two is less than a millimeter.

As Crocodile spoke, his eyes were fixed on the ship.

He really wanted to know how on earth Rowan would get the ship into the air.

Rowan rubbed his chin, feeling that Crocodile's behavior was a bit wrong, so he simply said, "Why don't you ask and I'll answer?"

Crocodile glanced at Rowan and lit himself a cigar.

"I don't!"

Then, it turned into a sandstorm and flew onto the ship.

The moment he stepped on the deck, Crocodile was taken aback for a moment, and felt that something was wrong.

This ship... is too stable, not like a long-distance warship, but more like a passenger ship.

In order to take care of the guests above, high-end passenger ships will deliberately increase the counterweight of the ship to maintain the stability of the entire ship at sea.

But at the same time, doing so will also reduce the speed of the ship, so it is not suitable for warships on long voyages.

But today's ship not only has a huge draft, but also the whole ship is quite stable in the sea.

Crocodile stamped the deck with his foot.

If it is a supplement, it is a bit too much.

Is there a lot of other cargo in this ship?

Puzzled, everyone put wooden planks on the deck, and Luo Wen led them onto the ship.

Among these people are the Alabasta king army headed by Bell, the murloc warriors headed by the murloc Hoka, and the elite guards of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom headed by Dalton.

In addition, a medical team composed of doctors from Alabasta and the Drum Kingdom followed closely behind. They all accompanied them voluntarily and possessed certain combat capabilities.

Together, the three forces plus a medical team have nearly 200 people.

For an army, the number of these people is obviously not enough, but the gold content of this team is extremely high.

Two animals with devil fruit abilities, more than a dozen murloc warriors, plus elite troops and medical troops from two countries.

Not counting Rowan and Crocodile, the two natural devil fruit abilities, such a lineup alone is enough to sweep a small country similar to the Drum Kingdom, not to mention the ordinary pirate group.

What's more, the purpose of Rowan going to Sky Island is to establish diplomatic relations, not to fight. As an "expeditionary force" going to Sky Island, this team is strong enough.

So Crocodile thought for a while, and the problem came back.

Is it necessary to rely on the birdman of the animal department to carry these people to the sky one by one?

He was smoking a cigar, frowning slightly, feeling very unhappy.

...

After three days and two nights of sailing, the originally calm record pointer finally changed.

It began to become unstable, sometimes pointing forward, sometimes pointing into the air.

The Alabasta navigator informed Rowan of this situation.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Luo Wen nodded slightly, thanked the navigator, and then suddenly asked: "Is there any paper? The one in the notebook, one sheet is fine."

The navigator quickly tore off the last page of his notebook and handed it to Rowan.

Rowan finished the page and stepped from the cabin onto the deck.

The murloc Hoka and the other two murloc warriors had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Rowan."

Huo Ka nodded to Rowan, "We are ready."

"Be careful."

After giving some instructions, Luo Wen watched the three murlocs jump into the sea.

At the same time, the surrounding sailors began to get busy.

Crocodile noticed the actions of the others and also came to the deck.

He frowned.

During these few days of sailing, Crocodile consulted a lot of information, and finally got a general idea of ​​Rowan's thoughts.

Rowan probably wanted to get in touch with a very special sea condition called "Sky Current", to push the ship high into the sky and complete the so-called "going to the sky".

But in this way, many problems arise as the times require.

First of all, although the soaring ocean current is a famous special sea condition in the surrounding sea area, it is impossible to easily predict the exact location of the ocean current if it is not a local who has observed the ocean current for a long time.

Secondly, even if one finds the soaring ocean current, without the help of top navigators, ordinary people simply cannot survive in such a terrifying ocean current.

What is needed here is not a "navigator", but a "top navigator"!

It has nothing to do with strength, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot survive the natural disaster that destroys everything.

Finally, and most importantly, even if the luck is extremely good, there is no guarantee that after the soaring ocean current takes the ship to the sky, they can land near the empty island smoothly.

Once it is rushed straight into the sky, and it doesn't happen to land near the sky island, it means that it will fall straight down from a height of 10,000 meters, fall into the sea, and the whole army will be wiped out!

"The risk is too great..."

Crocodile lit a cigar. If it was him, he would definitely not choose such a risky method.

Luo Wen found a box and sat down, silently waiting.

Ten minutes later, Huoka and his other two companions returned smoothly and jumped onto the deck from the sea.

"found it."

Huoka moved his shoulders and said to Luo Wen: "To the southwest, about two nautical miles from here, it's very close, and it's about to erupt."

Rowan nodded, and ordered the helmsman to move in the direction Hoka said.

Crocodile watched this scene silently.

Use murlocs to locate the specific direction of the soaring ocean current?

Great, now the first problem is solved, there are two left.

Crocodile became more and more sure of his previous guess, and also understood why Luo Wen didn't bring Weiwei with him in this trip.

Whether it is the so-called soaring sea current flying high into the sky, or the harsh climate and environment on the empty island, it is not something a little girl can bear.

He leaned on the mast and watched the ship sailing to the place Hoka said.

Ten minutes later, Crocodile heard the roar from the sea.

The stable ship began to tremble violently until it tilted and shook!

The helmsman shouted: "Everyone takes their positions, and the rest hold on to the railings around them!"

A group of sailors immediately complied, and Dalton and Bell were even more prepared.

They all learned from Rowan that the trip was extremely dangerous, but like Crocodile, they didn't know Rowan's specific plan yet.

Murloc Huoka yelled: "Be careful, the sea current is coming!"

Crocodile immediately elementalized the soles of his feet, using the gravel to fix himself on the deck, his face solemn.

I hope that old monster really has a way, instead of fighting for that illusory "luck"!

A huge vortex gradually formed on the sea surface, swallowing everyone's ship into it, and it was several meters below the sea level.

That was a sign that the soaring ocean current was about to erupt.

The whole ship began to shake violently, and the bow tilted downward.

"Hello!"

Crocodile frowned, and said to Rowan, "Use it quickly if you have a way!"

He didn't believe that Luo Wen was not prepared to follow up.

But when Crocodile raised his eyes and looked at Rowan, he was even more puzzled.

I saw that Luo Wen was playing with the piece of paper that he had asked for from the navigator before, folding the paper one after another, and finally turned it into a "paper airplane".

"call out……"

Rowan whistled and threw the paper airplane out.

The paper airplane followed the frantic airflow around it, and together with the ship, was swept towards the center of the vortex.
