Chapter 131: The Role Of The Sacred Text! 

The Arlong Pirates were destroyed, and Cocoyasi Village was also successfully protected.

After that, the special products of One Piece World are naturally indispensable, and the banquet can be held no matter what the situation is. The villagers of Cocoyashi Village warmly entertained Yami and his companion, and solemnly expressed their gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Hephaestus easily blended into this atmosphere.

It has to be said that although the people in Pirate World are a bit hard-witted, they are very strange in terms of affinity. They are a group of completely unknown existences, but they can mingle together in a short period of time.

This is probably the charm of the world in front of him!

After the carnival of the whole village was over, Yami and his companions embarked on the long voyage under the reluctant eyes of the villagers.

On the shore, the two little girls looked at the big ship going away, and Yami's body when he killed the fishmen pirates was constantly echoing in their mind, and there was a color called longing in their eyes.

The journey of East Blue seems to have come to an end here.

The related information about the Grandline was obtained from the Arlong Pirates, including many maps and even the existence of log pose, which is undoubtedly good news.

That being the case, Although Yami doesn't know how to sail, he has one log pose. If this can make the route deviate, then he should not take the boat and let Hephaestus take him to fly. That way at least they won't get lost at sea.

In the process of going to the entrance of the Grandline, they were lucky enough to encounter a naval warship. The leading officer was Nezumi from the 16th Branch of the Navy, but he was not a Captain yet, but a lieutenant commander.

In order to avoid this guy making trouble, Yami sent him to see Satan directly.

As for whether this kind of behavior will attract the navy, he doesn't care at all.

Anyway, sooner or later, they have to confront the world government, so the navy can also be said to be an enemy, and it is no problem to be noticed now, and it will not affect his next action.

There is no stop in Loguetown, the supplies on the ship are very abundant.

The closer they get to the entrance, the more complex and changeable the surrounding weather becomes. The endless mountain is like a huge water pump, pumping all the seawater to the top of the mountain.

At this time, Kuina had also stopped her training, looking at the scene in front of her with a shocked face.

"Wow, is this the entrance to the Grandline? It's too amazing! What's going on with the sea water, it's actually flowing backwards towards the top of the mountain, it's unbelievable!"

"Indeed, even I have seen this for the first time."

Hephaestus at the side also involuntarily uttered words of admiration.

The scene in front of her is really shocking. To some extent, the mountain in front of her can even be compared with Orario's Tower of Babel.

One is a natural landscape and the other is a man-made construction, but there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

"Master, what's going on here?"

Hearing the question from his little apprentice, Yami shook the map in his hand, and said softly: "This is the entrance of the Grandline. It's called Reverse Mountain, there are four countercurrent sea routes, which connect the four seas respectively, and one leads to the Grandline. The seaway of the route, from here all the way up, you can reach the first half of the Grandline."

"In fact, we can also go to the Grandline through the calm belt, but there is no wind and waves in the calm belt, ordinary ships will completely lose power in that sea area, and there are many terrible sea kings in it, basically only specially modified warships can sail safely in it."

"It turned out to be so amazing!"

After hearing his description, Hephaestus and Kuina showed surprised expressions almost at the same time.

But then, the girl showed worry on her face, "Master, is it true that such a seaway will not hit the mountain? I feel that the ship is likely to be destroyed..."

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you, I'm very strong~"

Sensing the girl's worry, Yami smiled slightly and rubbed the girl's head lightly. The slight warmth made the girl's cheeks flush, but she quickly calmed down.

Thinking of the existence of Hephaestus, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

"Since we have connected, let's go now, but then again, even if we want to go back now, it seems that it is too late`~"

Yami pointed not far away, the so-called entrance was not far away.

The uncontrolled rudder began to drift wantonly in this chaotic sea current, and even the shaking of the ship became more and more violent. Kuina could barely stand firm by pulling the rope on the edge of the deck, which is enough to show how bad the situation is.

"Let's talk about other things later, Yami, go in and control the rudder first, the force of the ocean current is getting bigger and bigger, if you let it go on like this, we may hit the mountain."

"Yes, Goddess-sama."

After lightly nodding his head, Yami's figure instantly disappeared in place.

When he appears again, he has come to the stern of the ship, the rudder is being installed at this place, and the field of view is wide, fully able to see the specific situation around the ship.

Although Yami doesn't know how to sail, his skill in navigating ships is nothing to say.

Coupled with his observation haki ability to foresee the future for a short time, almost all the next situation is printed in his mind, and then adjusted, it is very easy to start walking through the seaway, whether it is the turbulent current or the huge rock along the way. The walls did not cause any hindrance.

Such a passionate experience made the Hephaestus and Kuina stare wide-eyed.

The former is because of the excitement, while the latter is because of some apprehension. The speeding ship keeps going back and forth among the rocks, and even almost collided with it many times. This kind of excitement makes this girl who has never experienced this kind of situation, Grabbing the rope almost tightly, while lowering the center of gravity.

After all, with such a turbulent ocean current, if one is accidentally thrown out, even knowing how to swim will not help.

Fortunately, there were no accidents during the period. The ship climbed to the highest point without any risk, and then entered the great seaway and went down the river. Once again, everyone experienced what is called speed and passion.

"Boom!!!"

The ship's hull and the sea water made a terrifying collision sound, and a large amount of sea water splashed towards the surroundings, and at the same time as it fell quickly, it was almost like a heavy rain.

Following the impact of the sea water for a long distance, the shaking ship stabilized.

Looking at the lighthouse not far away, Yami, who was controlling the rudder before, let go of his hands, stepped back to the deck, and immediately showed a look of expectation on his face.

"It seems that we have successfully reached the Grandline, Hephaestus-sama, how do you feel?"

"It feels good, this world is so interesting!"

When she said this, the corners of Hephaestus's mouth drew a clear arc, obviously she was not joking, and the voice of her words came from the heart.

The different world is getting more and more interesting!

"Where do we go next?"

"I have already planned to go to Alabasta, where there is a fairly good opponent, which must be resolved, and we can continue to sail after we get it done."

"Then listen to you and go to that place first."

Hearing this, Hephaestus nodded slightly as if understanding.

"Okay, let's set sail~"

The sails were unfurled in an instant, and the sea breeze was blowing. Under the guidance of the log pose, the ship began to speed up, and soon headed for the distance.

Before leaving, Yami and Hephaestus looked at the twins' cape next to them intentionally or unintentionally.

Crocus, who was hiding in the dark, noticed these two gazes, and quickly withdrew his observation haki, with a lot of sweat flowing from his forehead.

"That was scary. Where did this unknown strong man come from? The young people nowadays are getting more and more scary, and the sea is getting more and more lively. Roger, the era you lead has become more and more dangerous, and I really don't know where the future will go…"

"However, these have nothing to do with me, an old man who has retired. Now I am just a lighthouse keeper."

The voice drifted slowly, revealing a touch of helplessness.

At this moment, Yami and his companions have sailed a long distance.

It snowed suddenly in the sky. This very weird weather change caught everyone a little off guard, but before they got used to this situation, the heavy snow stopped suddenly, and the sky began to rain again, mixed with the strong wind, Kuina was almost thrown away.

After a while, thick fog appeared on the sea again, covering all their sight lines.

"What the hell is going on in this sea area!"

"This is a Grandline. You can't trust the weather or currents. The only thing you can trust is the log pose in your hand. If you can't adapt to this environment first, you can't gallop on this sea. Let alone becoming the number one swordsman in the world, Kuina, you still need to train a lot~"

Even at this time, Yami still didn't forget to tease his little apprentice.

The consequence...that is to make the girl very unhappy.

Although the weather was weird and changeable, it didn't cause too much trouble. It can be said that there was no danger. The sky soon became clear again and gradually stabilized.

Looking at this change, Kuina instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to cope with this complicated and ever-changing situation, she can be said to be busy. The main reason is that there are too few people on board. Sometimes she needs to do a lot of things, which makes her even more tired than practicing swordsmanship. It made the girl very uncomfortable.

In fact, Yami probably also noticed this situation.

The weather on the Grandline is more difficult to deal with than imagined, and the speed of ships driven by wind alone is too slow, and the influence of the weather along the way will also greatly reduce the speed. According to this situation, he doesn't know how long it will take to clear the level completely.

So, it's time to make some changes!

"Hephaestus-sama, can you use your blessing on this ship to speed up the sailing speed?"

"Um?"

Hearing Yami's words, Hephaestus was slightly taken aback, and then nodded in response: "Although I haven't tried it, it should be possible. I can bless the sacred text on this ship to increase its speed and even give it the ability to fly."

"Then I would like to trouble you, Hephaestus-sama. After all, at this speed, we may need to stay in this world for a long time."

"Leave it to me~"

After saying this, Hephaestus squatted down slowly and stretched out her fingers. In an instant, the majestic divine power gathered at her fingertips, easily penetrated the deck, and directly carved on it.

Kuina, who had never seen such a scene, was in a hurry.

She rushed forward and looked at the movements of the red-haired goddess curiously.

Words that she couldn't understand appeared smoothly on the deck, and all the words were shining with blue light, which looked extraordinarily dazzling.

"It's done."

Not long after, Hephaestus stopped her movements.

They saw that rows of sacred characters had been engraved on the deck, and they were shining with azure light. Other than that, there seemed to be no change.

"Has it been completed?" Yami was surprised.

He didn't seem to notice any difference in the ship under his feet. Except for the extra sacred text on the deck, there seemed to be no so-called divine power blessing.

No wonder he felt puzzled.

"Would I lie to you?" When questioned, Hephaestus rolled her eyes angrily, and explained: "Don't underestimate the power of gods, although there is no change in the visual effect, but this ship has been transformed by me, both in terms of speed and hardness, have been greatly improved, if you don't believe it, you can try it yourself."

"Well, then let me see it!"

With that said, Yami started to try immediately.

Suddenly a gust of sea wind blows, and the sail is instantly pushed.

Then they saw that the boat under their feet was instantly pushed forward, and started to move forward at a very strange speed, and it flew hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye. This sudden change made Yami freeze in place, if it wasn't for the fact that there were no islands around, he would have crashed into it long ago.

Even so, this speed still makes people feel frightened.

Hephaestus had a thought, the sacred text lost its effect for a short time, and the terrible increase disappeared, but under the effect of inertia, the ship still sailed for a long distance

It took about ten minutes before it successfully slowed down and stopped completely.

However, the voyage that violated the basic principles just now still left Yami with lingering fears.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you, it was because my divine power was sealed before, so we were like ordinary people, but don't underestimate us gods~"

"Ah, Hephaestus-sama, you are the best!"

After personally experiencing this kind of blessing, Yami also gradually realized the power of the gods, at least not something he can match now.

"So what are you waiting for, just keep sailing~"

"Ohh!"

Hephaestus reactivated the effect of the sacred text, and the speed of the ship instantly increased again, almost unstoppable all the way, with the guidance of the log pose, there is no need to be afraid of getting lost at all, even if the speed is fast, it still does not cause the slightest obstacle.

It was as if there was a layer of energy that completely blocked the wind, even though the boat was sailing very fast, Yami's hair was not messed up.

As expected of the power possessed by the gods, it is really powerful, and he admires it beyond words.

Not long after, an island was in the distance, and several huge mountain-like cactuses could also be seen standing in the sight. After a closer look, it was discovered that it was not a real cactus.

It's a rock in the shape of a cactus.

At this moment, Yami already knew where he was.

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The log pose owned by the Arlong Pirates actually pointed to Whiskey Peaks. I was thinking about how to go to Alabasta, but now, from the way where it's going, I don't have to worry about it at all. "

While speaking, Yami and his party approached Whiskey Peaks and stopped by the pier.

There were quite a few human figures at the pier at this moment. When they saw the ships appearing at the pier in an instant, everyone froze involuntarily, staring nervously at the very place in front of them.

Obtrusive big ship.

And the speed is really weird.

"Hephaestus-sama, Kuina, let's go down. The log pose needs to be fully charged to point to the next island. Why don't we take advantage of this time to stop on this island and stay for a while?"

"No problem, after sitting on the boat for so long, I'm a little tired, so let's take a stroll here."

A clear conversation sounded, and then three figures came down from the boat.

For a while, the people standing in the dock became more vigilant.
