At this moment, however, the waters are not calm.
Almost at the same time they rushed to the top of the mountain, a pirate ship also rushed out from each of the other two waterways!
The ship that came from the North Sea was long and narrow, entirely black, with a prow resembling a menacing raven. A pirate flag with a pattern of dripping blood raven feathers hung from its mast. On the deck stood a group of pirates with sinister eyes, dressed in heavy furs. The leader was a tall, thin man wearing a raven mask, with two strangely shaped scimitars hanging at his waist.
The ship from the South China Sea appeared dilapidated and enormous, its hull covered in repair marks and cannon barrels, its prow resembling a laughing skull. The pirate flag featured a skull wearing a tricorn hat and displaying a mouthful of gold teeth. The deck was crowded with fierce-looking pirates, howling and shouting, led by a burly man nearly three meters tall, wielding a massive spiked club, his face full of menacing features, exuding a menacing aura.
Three pirate ships from different seas unexpectedly meet in this narrow waterway at the top of the world!
The air solidified instantly.
The gale seemed to freeze for a moment.
The gazes of the three groups collided in the air, sparking invisible flames.
Greed, vigilance, and murderous intent flickered in every pair of eyes.
There is only one waterway leading to the Grand Line, but there are three pirate ships that want to go down!
At the top of this upside-down mountain, there are no rules, no order, only the most primal law of the jungle!
"It seems another newcomer has set sail for the Grand Line."
Sabo cracked his neck, a look of eager anticipation spreading across his face, as Armament Haki subtly enveloped the steel pipe in his hand.
Kuina's thumb gently pushed open the guard of Ziyun's sword, producing a clear and melodious sound, and the cold sword intent locked onto the powerful figures on the two ships.
Robin closed the book, crossed his arms gracefully in front of his chest, and calmly scanned the distribution of people on the other deck.
Liu Jiu opened his eyes at some point, glanced indifferently at the two ships, and then closed them again, seemingly unconcerned about the impending conflict.
"You scruffy crows of the North Blue! The 'Golden Tooth Pirates' have their eyes on this waterway! Get out of here if you don't want to turn into mincemeat!"
The giant from the South China Sea roared with a booming voice, brandishing his enormous spiked club.
"Hmph, those barbaric fools from the South China Sea dare to lay their hands on the Grand Line?"
Captain North Sea Raven's voice was like the scraping of metal, cold and sharp, "This mountaintop will be your burial ground!"
The battle is about to break out!
Sabo grinned, pointing the steel pipe straight ahead:
"Hey, have you guys forgotten... that you asked for our opinion?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out the sounds of the wind and water, reaching the ears of everyone on the other two ships.
At this moment, the inverted mountaintop stands in a tripod formation.
Pirate crews from three seas are about to meet at the top of the world for the only entrance to the sea!
The captain of the "Golden Tooth Pirates" in the South China Sea, the giant carrying a spiked club, was the first to launch an attack.
"Where did this brat come from? You haven't even grown your hair yet and you're already trying to conquer the Grand Line? Get the hell out of my way!"
He roared, and his massive spiked club, accompanied by a fierce wind, swung violently towards the "Whirlwind" from a distance! A solid shockwave tore through the air, heading straight for Sabo!
It was clearly some kind of ranged attack similar to a "sword wave"!
Almost simultaneously, the captain of the "Black Crow Pirates" in the North Sea, a tall, thin man wearing a crow mask, also moved silently.
He moved with a swift movement, disappearing from his spot like a ghost. The next instant, he appeared above the side of the "Whirlwind," his two strange long curved swords slashing out in a cross pattern. Two dark blue blades, carrying a chilling aura, clashed and attacked Kuina and Robin!
"Tsk, attacking without even a word, how rude."
Sabo curled his lip, facing the oncoming shockwave without dodging or avoiding it, and pointed forward with the steel pipe covered in Armament Haki!
"Dragon's Finger!"
The highly compressed impact condensed at the top of the steel pipe, colliding fiercely with the shockwave unleashed by the spiked club!
With a loud bang, Sabo's "Dragon Finger" pierced through the opponent's shockwave as easily as a hot knife through butter, its momentum undiminished, and accurately struck the giant's chest!
The giant's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly held his spiked club horizontally in front of him to block.
"clang--!"
The deafening clang of metal against metal was so loud it hurt people's eardrums!
The giant felt an indescribable force coming from the spiked club, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open. The steel spiked club that had been with him for many years was bent into an exaggerated arc!
His massive body was pushed backward by the force, staggering back seven or eight steps until he crashed into the main mast and barely stopped, his face filled with horror!
"Damn! We've run into someone who's pretending to be weak but actually cunning!"
Chapter 109 Reencounter with Labu
As the crisscrossing, dark blue blades of light slashed towards her, Kuina's eyes narrowed.
"Little tricks."
Ziyun was suddenly drawn from its sheath, the blade flashing like a purple swan!
"One-Sword Style Secret Technique: Flying Swallow!"
Without a direct confrontation, the agile blade light seemed to possess a life of its own, precisely slicing into the weakest point of power between the two dark blue blade beams!
"Tsk! Tsk!"
With two soft sounds, the blade light, imbued with chilling power, burst open like a punctured balloon, instantly dissipating into tiny ice crystals that vanished into the air.
Meanwhile, Guina's figure had appeared at the ship's side without anyone noticing. Ziyun pointed diagonally at Captain Raven in mid-air, her icy sword intent firmly locking onto him.
Captain Raven's pupils contracted beneath his mask. He could sense that if he moved even slightly, he would be met with a devastating blow!
As for Robin, she didn't even get up.
She simply crossed her arms gracefully and softly recited:
"A riot of flowers, a spider web."
In an instant, countless slender yet strong arms suddenly sprouted from the feet of the elite officers of the "Golden Tooth Pirates" and "Black Crow Pirates" who were preparing to board or use their muskets on the deck. Like real spider webs, they instantly wrapped around their ankles, wrists, and even necks!
"what?!"
"I can't move!"
"A Devil Fruit user?!"
Screams and struggles erupted from the two enemy ships. The fierce pirates, like insects caught in a spider's web, struggled but were bound tighter, instantly losing their fighting ability.
Between lightning and flint!
Sabo forces the giant of the South China Sea to retreat with a single blow!
Kuina thwarted and countered the North Sea captain's sneak attack with a single strike!
Robin effortlessly took control of most of the elite troops on both ships!
On the "Whirlwind", only Liu Jiu remained asleep with his eyes closed, as if all the fighting around him had nothing to do with him.
A complete and utter crushing defeat!
The giant from the South China Sea and the captain of the crow ship from the North China Sea looked at their offensive that had been instantly thwarted and their subordinates who had been brought under control, their faces filled with disbelief and deep fear.
What kind of monsters are these three young people?!
With such strength, why did they choose this particular time to enter the Grand Line?!
"Do you want to fight again?"
Sabo, carrying a steel pipe, looked at the two men who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy with a smile, his tone as relaxed as if he were asking about the weather.
The giant from the South China Sea looked at the bent spiked club in his hand, then at the cadres who were bound by the strange arms and unable to move. His face twitched a few times, and finally, his fierce aura deflated like a punctured balloon.
"No...we're not fighting anymore! We surrender!"
He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; these people are ridiculously strong. If they continue fighting, the entire "Golden Tooth Pirates" will be wiped out on this mountaintop today!
Captain North Sea Raven silently sheathed his twin swords and returned to his ship. Although his expression was obscured by a mask, his slightly trembling wrists betrayed his inner turmoil. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "...We surrender too."
"That's right."
Sabo nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, added, "However, you scared us just now, shouldn't you pay some compensation for our emotional distress?"
He rubbed his fingers together, his meaning couldn't be clearer.
The giant from the South China Sea and the captain from the North China Sea twitched, but the situation was beyond their control, so they could only grit their teeth and accept their defeat.
Ultimately, through Sabo's "friendly" negotiations, the two pirate ships "voluntarily" handed over nearly half of their supplies, fresh water, and some treasure, piling them up in a corner of the "Whirlwind".
"Thanks!" Sabo waved, signaling Kuina and Robin to release their control over the officers.
The Whirlwind then slowly adjusted its course and headed towards the only downhill waterway leading to the Grand Line.
The giant from the South China Sea and the captain from the North China Sea watched the "Whirlwind" disappear into the rushing waterway before they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the lingering fear and relief in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, the other party did not kill him...
This Grand Line is truly a place where hidden talents abound! We've already encountered such a formidable opponent before we've even truly entered!
Once we reach the Grand Line, let's slip away quietly and stay away from them.
The Cyclone sped down the steep waterway, blurring the scenery on either side.
A strong feeling of weightlessness came over them, but for the four who had already experienced the ascending waterway, it was a piece of cake.
Before long, the ship broke through the waterway and entered a relatively calm sea area.
Ahead lies the waters of the Grand Line.
But Liu Jiu and his group will have to stay in the Twin Straits for a while longer.
"We're here!" Sabo exclaimed excitedly, looking at the familiar sight. "Labu! We're back!"
The ship slowly approached.
Wait a while, and a colossal creature will emerge from the seabed, where you can hear the familiar whale call, a call filled with both joy and grievance.
A massive Laboon appeared and slowly approached the Cyclone, especially Sabo at the bow.
Sabo moored the boat on the makeshift shore and was the first to jump in, affectionately patting Lab's tough skin.
"Haha, Lab, you missed us, didn't you? We brought you lots of specialties from the West Sea!"
Kuina and Robin also stepped off the ship with smiles, witnessing this heartwarming scene of reunion after a long separation.
