Sailing: The comprehension is against the sky, and the eight gates are comprehended at the beginning

"I saw it, the Grand Line!"

Amid the screams, Luffy suddenly cheered in surprise.

Everyone stopped screaming and looked at the new sea area across the mountain, their faces full of excitement and anticipation.

Then, the next second......

"Woo wow wow wow......"

"Ahhhhh......"

"Yeah yeah yeah......"

Screams rang out again. After reaching the top, the Merry began to ride the descending current and rushed down.

The wind was whistling, and the cold sea water splashed on everyone's face, but it could not wash away their enthusiasm and excitement.

Everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

But at this moment, in the whistling wind, there seemed to be a strange sound like a train whistle, like a wail.

"Boo oh oh oh......"

Hearing this unusual sound, Sauron couldn't help but ask curiously

""Hey! What's that sound? Did you hear it?"

Nami guessed without paying any attention.

"It should be the sound of the wind! Because there are many strange terrains here!"

Luffy heard the conversation between the two, but shook his head and said

"No! That's the cry of a whale."

At the starting point of the Grand Line, the whale that kept hitting the red earth continent with its head, Lab and Luffy were certainly impressed.

"Whale?"

Nami muttered in confusion.

"Boo oh oh oh......"

The strange sound was heard again.

As the Merry continued to descend, the sound was particularly clear.

"Hello!......That......What is that? Look!"

At this moment, Usopp suddenly screamed in panic.

Everyone looked over and saw a huge shadow like a mountain at the end of the descending current.

"That is......Mountain?"

Sanji pointed at the shadow and said in surprise.

"Mountains? Impossible! After passing the Twin Gorges ahead, there should be an endless ocean!"

Nami was also confused at this time, with a puzzled look on her face.

"That's the whale that made the strange noise just now, take a closer look."

Luffy said, looking at the huge Lab in front of him.

Everyone looked carefully after hearing Luffy's words.

They saw huge eyes as bright as the moon on both sides of the"mountain". The pupils in the eyes were as black as beans, but they were several times the size of a warship.

On the top of the"mountain", there were densely packed scars, like gullies, crisscrossed and thrilling.

"Boo oh oh oh......"

Rab let out another scream.

As he was getting closer, the sound this time was like an explosion near Luffy and the others' ears, and it seemed to be able to penetrate everyone's eardrums.

"Ah! My ears hurt so much!"

Just as everyone covered their ears and endured the pain, they saw Lab opened his mouth like a black hole.

Suddenly, all the surrounding seawater rushed towards this side rapidly, as if forming a huge vortex.

The Merry also drifted uncontrollably towards the super vortex.

"Uh ah......Going to be eaten!"

"What to do? Think of a solution quickly!"

"No, the rudder won't turn at all."

There were constant exclamations on the ship.

When they were about to fall into the bottomless black hole, Luffy shouted a warning:

"Hold on tight, don't fall out."

Everyone immediately grabbed hold of something solid around them and squatted down.

The next second, they felt the world go dark, and then the world was spinning.......

"How......What's going on? Here!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"I remember we were eaten by a whale, right? Why are we in this place?"

On the Merry, everyone on board looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Above them was the blue sky and white clouds, with a few seagulls visible on the horizon.

Below was the calm sea, and not far away was a small island with a house and a coconut tree.

"This is the stomach of the whale."

Luffy said calmly.

He knew that nothing would happen if he was swallowed, so he didn't take any measures. Now

, he has come to Lab's stomach.

Hearing Luffy's words, Usopp sighed.

"Isn't this a dream?"

Nami pointed at the island ahead and asked in confusion.

"What's the matter with that island? Why is there a house here?"

At this time, Uta suddenly said

"That's Klocas's home."

After hearing Uta's words, everyone turned their heads and looked at it, wondering

"Klocus? Who is that?"

"Do you know him, Uta?"

""Uta, how do you know this?"

A series of questions were thrown at Uta at the same time.

Luffy suddenly realized that Uta should have been brought here by Shanks before.

After all, this is the starting point of the Grand Line. No matter where you start from in the four seas, you will come to this place when you enter the Grand Line.

Of course, it does not count crossing the doldrums.

Uta was about to answer when suddenly, a giant squid jumped out of Lab's gastric juice, which was dozens of times the size of the Merry.

The giant squid appeared right at the bow of the Merry and was about to launch an attack.

Before Luffy and others could respond, there was a puff, and the giant squid's head was pierced by three huge harpoons.

"S.....Si Gai! He was able to kill the giant squid in one go......."

Usopp couldn't help but sigh.

To be able to kill such a huge creature instantly, he must be very powerful.

As the squid died and fell into the gastric juice, Luffy and others saw that there was an old man standing on the island. The old man had a flower-like decoration on his head and was dragging the ropes of the three harpoons in his hands.

""Klokas!"

Uta shouted in surprise when he saw the old man, and waved his hand excitedly to greet him.

Klokas was also stunned when he heard the words.

He always felt that the voice seemed a little familiar.

When he saw the girl with half red and half white hair standing at the bow, a figure in his memory suddenly emerged in his mind.

Klokas asked in surprise

"What? Is it Uta?"

Uta nodded happily and replied

"It's me! Klocas! Long time no see!"

After receiving the confirmation, Klocas's face suddenly showed joy and excitement, and he said with emotion

"Yes! I haven't seen you for more than ten years!"......

Luffy and his crew all landed on Crocus' island.

Uta and Crocus reunited after a long time, and they simply chatted about the past.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had not introduced himself to the others, so he hurriedly introduced them to the others.

"Klocus, these are my companions."

"This is Luffy, my captain."

"This is Nami, Nojiko, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp."

Krocus greeted everyone, but his eyes fell on Luffy and looked him over.

He remembered the story Shanks told him about a boy he met the last time he came to him.

Uta continued to introduce

"Everyone, this is Klocas."

"He is the lighthouse keeper at Twin Gorges......."

The Straw Hat Pirates greeted Krocus calmly and politely.

"He was also the ship doctor of the previous Pirate King Roger's ship!"

Uta added.

Suddenly, the originally calm Straw Hat Pirates were like being struck by lightning, and they all exclaimed

"What?!"

After the sudden exclamation as if struck by lightning, the others except Luffy continued to exclaim in shock

"ocean......One Piece?!"

"The ship's doctor?!"

"No wonder he was able to kill that squid so easily just now! It turned out to be the one on the Pirate King's ship......."

"

I didn't expect to meet such a legendary figure just after entering the Grand Line." Seeing the shocked expressions of these people, Krocus looked calm. At his age, he was no longer surprised by such things. Luffy also showed the same reaction. After all, he would have known it even if Uta didn't say it.

However, this attracted Krocus' attention even more. It was normal for him not to be shocked at his age, but Luffy was so calm at his age?

This kid is quite interesting!

Krocus looked at Luffy and muttered in his heart.

At this time, Nami couldn't help but ask Uta in her doubts.

"But it's strange! Why do you know Klocas, Uta? And it seems that you have a good relationship!"

Uta replied

"That's because Shanks brought me here before, and it was Shanks who introduced us to each other."

Hearing that another person appeared, the others were confused again.

"Shanks? Who is this?"

"Is this Shanks familiar with Krocus?"

"Luffy and Uta once said that my father seemed to be in this pirate group of Shanks!"

Nami muttered, stroking her chin in thought.

"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before! Where exactly is it?"

Uta said with a smile, her eyes curved into crescents.

"Shanks was once a crew member on the Pirate King's ship, and he got along very well with Krocus!"

"When we passed by here before, he brought me here to visit Crocus."

Uta said, and everyone except Luffy was shocked again.

"Another crew member of the Pirate King's ship?!"

"Why does Uta know the crew members on the One Piece ship?"

Hearing that Shanks was also a member of the One Piece ship, Nami, who had been thinking, suddenly shuddered and looked at Uta in shock.

"Wait! The Shanks you are talking about, isn't it the legendary one of the Four Emperors, Red Hair Shanks?"

Uta smiled and nodded.

"Yes! He is my father"

"What did you say?!!"

As soon as Uta finished speaking, the whole audience burst into incredible exclamations again, resounding throughout the entire Lab's stomach.

After a moment......

"Wu......Uta, you are the one......The daughter of the Four Emperors Red Hair Shanks!!"

"That's the Four Emperors! The strongest pirate in the world"

"It's unbelievable!"

Looking at the stunned companions, Uta said with a look of satisfaction.

"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier."

Everyone waved their hands and began to calm down from the shock.

"No, it's not your fault! Everyone has things that others don't know!"

"It was surprising, but that’s because we never mentioned it before!"

"Yes! Just like if we don't ask about Luffy's background, we naturally won't know his background. This is a very simple truth!"

Everyone comforted Uta, and his mood had almost returned to calm. When Uta heard their words, he blinked his beautiful big eyes in a silly way, and said

"Luffy is the grandson of Grandpa Garp! He is the navy hero, [Iron Fist] Garp"

"......"

The air fell into silence for a moment.......

"What did you say?!!!"

The sound of shock seemed to penetrate Rab and resound through the sky.......

In Lab stomach, on the island of Krocus.

Luffy and Uta were treated like monkeys in a zoo by others, staring at them without blinking.

After knowing Uta's identity, the others were shocked for a while and gradually calmed down.

But when they heard that Luffy was the grandson of the navy hero Garp, these people could no longer control their emotions.

At this moment, looking at the two of them was like looking at monsters, and the mood could not calm down for a long time.

Luffy was too lazy to pay attention to them.

He was used to being looked at like this by Nami and Nojiko before.

Instead, he turned around and asked Krocus.

"How are we going to get out of here?"

Luffy had just finished speaking when suddenly, everyone felt a violent shaking.

At the same time, the wailing-like sounds heard outside rang out one after another.

"Boo oh oh oh......"

Noticing this sudden change, Klocas suddenly frowned.

"

Oh no , Lab is hitting the Red Earth Continent again!���Without waiting for anyone else to react, Krocus dove into Lab's gastric juice and swam away.

The Straw Hat Pirates, except for Luffy and Uta 390, were also deeply confused.

"Hey, what happened?"

"Why did that uncle leave suddenly?"

"That's gastric juice! Isn't he afraid of being corroded?"

"He just said Rab, what is this?"

At this time, Uta explained to everyone

"Rab is the whale that ate us!"

Uta's mood dropped a little as he explained.

"I heard from Crocus that Lab had made a promise with a pirate group."

"The pirate group said that they would come back here to reunite with Lab after sailing around the Grand Line."

"But 50 years have passed, and the pirate group has not returned."

"Krocus once tried to find out about this pirate group, but found nothing. The pirates' life and death are unknown."

"So Krocus guessed that the pirates were either dead or had escaped from the Grand Line and returned to their hometown through the Calm Belt."

"In short, no matter which one, the pirates will never come back to reunite with Lab."

"He told Labou his guess, but Labou refused to believe it, so he kept banging his head against the Red Earth Continent, trying to break the mountain and find the pirates."

"Therefore, Krocas created this world in the belly of the whale, in order to inject sedatives into Laboo every time it hits the red earth continent to calm it down."After

Uta finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Everyone's face showed sadness and emotion.

"This whale is so pitiful!"

"Is it really possible that the pirates abandoned Laboo and fled the Grand Line? That would be too unfair to Laboo."

"But Lab has been keeping his promise and waiting for them to come back!"

"The fate of this whale is really lamentable! It is very likely that it has been let down, and it is still waiting here. It is obviously meaningless to keep waiting!"

When everyone was sighing, Klocas suddenly climbed out of the gastric juice, knowing that these people were talking about Lab, and then added the last sentence

"It is precisely because it has lost its meaning that Lab refuses to accept my words!"

"Losing the meaning of waiting is more terrible than anything else."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, Luffy suddenly said

"They didn't escape, they are still alive!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then cast a puzzled look at Luffy.

"What are you talking about, Luffy? If they didn't escape, why didn't they come back to see Lab for 50 years?"

"Yes! Even if they are still alive, they must have escaped from the Grand Line."

Faced with doubts, Luffy just looked firm and hopeful, and said

"That’s what I believe!"

"I believe they will not abandon Laboo, maybe they met with some accident and cannot come back!"

Luffy made a"guess".

He could not tell these people directly and accurately that there was another skeleton on the sea missing Laboo, so he just used a guess to explain. ps: Wow, thank you song...

Thank you for your reward.: ASH.
