Chapter 56: What North Blue Knows

"The other world me is also the same as me ."

On a small island in East Blue, Belo Betty smoked a cigarette, took off her sunglasses, revealed extremely gentle eyes, and said with a smile.

I was able to meet Mr. Roja and his revolutionary army just after the massacre of the village, and now are being taught by him.

Bello Betty lightly took a mouthful of the cigarette.

"Wonderful, if only I had been that lucky."

[The ship is sailing in the air, and the surrounding clouds are passing by. This is a very novel experience. ]

["Your ability is really useful, Issho." Naguri couldn't help but praise. ]

["Being able to leap over the Red Line is already considered a strategic ability, it's not worse than Float-Float Fruit."]( in Japanese it's called Fuwa Fuwa no Mi.)

["Is Float-Float Fruit very powerful? Mr. Naguri." A soldier of the Revolutionary Army asked curiously. ]

["I have never met Shiki the golden Lion, but I just heard that his Float-Float Fruit can make anything he touches float. It is said that he can float several islands that the same time."]

["At this level, I'm still far behind." Fujitora said honestly. ]

[My Gravity Fruit is not yet able to suspend an island. "]

["After all, he is the strongest pirate today. Everyone says he is the man who has the most hope to become the Pirate King." Naguri said with emotion: "But you are not bad, Issho, you are still young."]

[They were still chatting and laughing, while Roja looked at the unsmiling Belo Betty, and secretly sighed. ]

[It has been more than a week since Moluobu Village was destroyed, but this young girl seems to be hiding the world's thoughts, and she has never smiled until now. ]

[There is nothing that Roja can do to help her. He has experienced the destruction of the Kingdom of Krojashi, and this kind of scar can only be healed by time. ]

[After a day of flying, Roja and his ship landed in a sea area not far from the red line. ]

[They didn't continue to sail, but turned around and came to Reverse Mountain. ]

[Here, they successfully found the gathering place of the Cross-sea Chamber of Commerce, and then purchased a North Blue sea chart. ]

["Every time I can't help feeling, your initial investigation was really worth it." Fujitora couldn't help but said. ]

[The initial investigation across the Red Line allowed them to directly know the existence of the Trans-Ocean Chamber of Commerce and establish contact with it. ]

[Many times in the future, the existence of the Trans-sea Chamber of Commerce has helped Roja and the others a lot. ]

["That's why you need to do more research. The world has developed countless paths in the dark. If you don't investigate, you don't know any of them. People always have to be good at learning." Roja said with a smile. ]

[After a little resupply, Roja and their ships set sail again. ]

[Because they are not familiar with North Blue, Roja and the others don't have a clear destination, anyway, they are here for research, so Roja simply follows the distances of the islands on the sea chart. ]

[In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month since Roja and the others came to North Blue. ]

[It has to be said that during the past half month, Roja and the others had an initial understanding of North Blue]

[Harsh sea environment. ]

[Compared to the mild climate conditions of East Blue, and except for some sea beasts, there are basically no rough sea conditions. ]

[The sea of North Blue deserves to be called the sea area closest to the Grand Line, it is unpredictable. ](It means north blue is dangerous)

[Maybe one second is calm, the next second is a raging storm]

[The weather is also the same. Perhaps in the previous sea area, one island is still mild or even hot, while the next island becomes a winter island, with snow all year round, making people shiver with cold.]

["No wonder North Blue is the most chaotic blue, the climate here is too harsh, and the living conditions of the people here are far worse than those of the civilians in the Kingdom of Goa." A revolutionary soldier wrapped his cotton coat tightly and complained tremblingly road. ]

["Hey, the climate here is far better than that of the Grand Line, and even worse than that of the New World." Naguri laughed. ]

["When you go to the Grand Line, you will know what is called hot and cold. In the blink of an eye, there will be thousands of miles of snow. As for the New World, it will be a super thunderstorm that will dry out in seconds."]

["That's the kind of environment where people will die if you don't pay attention." Naguri smoked a pipe, and said with no surprise: "As for North Blue, it can only be said to be a pediatric case."

["Master Naguri, you are always a boss, we are so small in stature." The complaining revolutionary soldier couldn't help being speechless. ]

["Stinky boy." Naguri wanted to hit him on the head with a pipe, and cursed with a smile. ]

[Before smashing the pipe, Naguri stopped his hands, looked into the distance helplessly and complained: "This North Blue is already in such a mess, why are there so many pirates?"]

[Boom boom boom. ]

[Naguri's voice of complaint just fell, and several shells fell towards them. ]

[It has only been half a month since they came to North Blue, this is already the fifth wave of pirates they have encountered. ]

[Fujitora's staff and sword were unsheathed, and the purple gravity wave stopped all the shells, and then shot back, sinking the pirate ship. ]

[Everyone is already used to the strangeness, and has long been used to this situation. ]

[Roja didn't even raise his head, looking at the book in his hand. ]

["What are you looking at? Roja." Belo Betty asked, crouching in front of Roja with her legs crossed. ]

["This?" Roja held up the book, looked at the cover and said, "North Blue fairy tale, a very interesting book."]( fairy tale mean fiction or fantasy story )

["What are you talking about?" After half a month of sailing, Belo Betty gradually came out of the shadows, and her expression was not so gloomy anymore. ]

["There are a lot of them, some of the legends of North Blue, which were then adapted into fairy tales." Roja just finished reading the last page of the book, closed the book and said with a smile. ]

["For example, the most popular fairy tale in North Blue, Noland The Liar, tells about a liar named Mont Blanc Noland. In the fairy tale, he is a stupid big liar who firmly believes in the existence of the City of Gold. "]

["This character has a prototype. It is said to be the North Blue traveler four hundred years ago. According to him, he saw the city of gold during the voyage. When the king sent someone to go with him, there was no Golden Land at all. So he was sentenced to death."] (voyage- a long journey by sea or in space )

["And this one, Germa 66, the Evil Army, tells the story of the righteous Marine defeating Germa 66, the evil army that rules North Blue."]

["There is also this beautiful white kingdom, Flevance. It is said that everything in this country is white, even the trees and flowers are white, just like the kingdom of ice and snow in fairy tales."] ( Trafalgar Law hometown)

[Roja has a great talent for storytelling. He told the fairy tales he saw so vividly that even Bello Betty were mesmerized. ]

["Okay, after talking so much, it's actually interesting to read the book by yourself." Roja handed the fairy tale book to Belo Betty. ]

["I didn't expect you to be so childlike, Roja. I like to read stories about assimilation. I always think that your mentality is more mature than mine." Fujitora jokes. ]

["Fairy tales often record the history in the eyes of some people, especially the fairy tales that are widely spread in an area." Roja smiled and said: "it can help us quickly understand some things in this area."]

["Moreover, I found a very interesting thing in these books."]

["What?" Fujitora discovered something. ]

[Every time he discovers, it can always play a huge role. ]

["I don't know Mr. Issho, have you heard the story of Noland The Liar?" Roja asked. ]

["Didn't you tell this story just now?" Fujitora was a little puzzled. ]

["Then Mr. Fujitora, do you think Noland is really a big liar?" Roja continued to ask. ]

["What does this mean? Isn't this from a fairy tale?"]

["Norland is indeed a big liar. This is a fact known to all North Blue children." Naguri, who has been listening to the side interjects. He has sailed in North Blue for a long time and knows a lot about it. of. ]

["Indeed, all children know the fairy tale of Noland The Liar." Roja nodded, and his tone changed: "But I found a book that is also very interesting."]

[Roja pulls out a book from his bosom. ]

[Naguri saw the cover and read aloud: "Norland's voyage diary."]

["Yes, this is Noland voyage diary." Roja said: "The uncle in North Blue who sold me book at that time said that this book is also a very popular book in North Blue, but because Noland is a liar for This reason this book is basically viewed as a storybook."]

["But when I opened it for the first time, I didn't think it was a fabricated story."]

["I compared the routes, directions, and islands in the voyage diary with some charts from North Blue. I found that the records of the island routes in this voyage diary are very accurate."]

["According to the character design of Noland, the idiot and liar who insisted that the city of gold is real and died because of it in the fairy tale, this diary does not look like a stupid person can write it anyway."]

["You mean that Noland's diary is real? The City of Gold also really exists?"]

["Yes, but I can't be sure. Maybe this voyage diary was forged by later generations, and it might not be named after Noland." Roja put away the book and said with a smile: "However, let's investigate Just a little bit."]

["It just so happens that Noland's hometown, the Kingdom of Lvneel, is very close to us." Roja looked at fujitora and said. ]

["I think you are not interested in the City of Gold, but in the Lvneel Kingdom." Fujitora said helplessly. ]

[He and the others got some information about lvneel Kingdom during the investigation of North Blue along the road. ]

[The Lvneel Kingdom four hundred years ago was not a small country, and later it became even more influential because of the discovery of coal resources in the country a hundred years ago. ]

[In the harsh environment, North Blue, which has many winter islands, and the Lvneel Kingdom, which has a large amount of coal resources, the national strength and influence are very huge. ]

[Roja must have made this country a key target for North Blue at that time. ]

["You're half right, Mr. Issho, I'm interested in the Lvneel Kingdom, but I'm also interested in the City of Gold..." Roja shook his head and laughed. ]

["If it is really as described in Noland's story, the gold reserves in the City of Gold are in very large number, and it will provide us with a lot of funds."]

["The next action will require a lot of money."]

["But it's too early to say these things now, let's go to the Lvneel Kingdom." Roja wrapped his cotton coat, exhaled white air and said, "It is said that the Lvneel Kingdom is a country with a very developed industry, I really want to see it one time."]

["Moreover, this should be the only big country with abundant energy that we have seen so far."]

[Three days later, Roja and other ships come to a Port city in Lvneel Kingdom. ]

["Is this the Lvneel Kingdom?"]

["It's amazing."]

["What kind of country is this?"]

[Sounds of exclamation sounded on the boat one after another. ]

[In front of Lvneel Kingdom, the sky is extremely gloomy, as if at dusk, and the culprit is those few industries that can be clearly seen even at the edge of the kingdom. ]

[It is hard to imagine that there will be such a huge chimney, and it will continuously spew black air into the sky. ]

[This is a country like a giant beast, and the chimney is his breathing port, as if he is breathing all the time. ]

[The shock is shocking, but the pollution is also really serious. ]

[Walking on the street, you can feel the black fine dust under your feet that you can't even sweep it clean. ]

[The plants on the side of the road there aren't even breaths of life at all in those plants. The fragile plants have long since died, and the tenacious plants are full of dust. ]

[Take the dust on the blade, it is even thicker than the blade itself. ]

["Cough cough." Not long after they left, Belo Betty, who had the weakest physique, couldn't help coughing. ]

[It's hard to imagine that this is still on the edge of the kingdom. ]

["Everyone covers up the nose and mouth with multiple layers of cotton cloth." Roja reminded, and then quickly covered Belo Betty's nose and mouth. ]

[The pollution in this country is beyond his expectation. ]

["How do the people live here?" A soldier of the Revolutionary Army coughed twice and couldn't help asking. ]

[At this moment, he feels that even the stench of the gray terminal is stronger than the air here. ]

[At least the air at the gray terminal is not sure to kill people, but if the air here is too much, it will really kill people. ]

["What does it matter if the people at the bottom are dead or not? Will the nobles care about them?"]

[Roja looked at the city in front of him calmly and said: "I am afraid that there are no nobles living in this country for a long time, and the only people who live here are animals that are not treated as human beings by the nobles."]

["This country is very depressed, I can feel it, and the negative emotions are heavy." Fujitora opened his eyes and looked at the sky. ]

[He seems to be able to see the general trend of this country, and see the thick and deep darkness of this country. ]

["It doesn't matter whether you have eyes or not, anyway, the sky you see is black." Naguri smiled sarcastically. ]

["Find a hotel to stay at first." Roja said]

["Betty, you'd better not stay here, you're too young." Roja said to Belo Betty, "I'll arrange some people for you to live on a nearby island first."]

["I want to stay here." Belo Betty's eyes were firm. ]

["Roja, you are not much older than me, you can bear it, Then I can bear it too, and if i can't even adapt to this environment, I don't have to think about changing the world. "]

["It's useless for you to stay here, but it will hurt your health. You are different from me, and your physical fitness is too poor." Roja persuaded. ]

["If I stay here, it will definitely work. My mother said that I will bring hope to people, as long as I wave the flag." Belo Betty said firmly. ]

[Then she raised the crude flag she brought from Moluobu Village and waved it vigorously. ]

[As if a breeze was blowing, everyone present felt the change. ]

[It seems that the body has become stronger, the range of change is not particularly large, but it is still somewhat obvious. ]

["Devil fruit power?" Naguri stared at Belo Betty with his eyes wide open. ]

["It must be a Paramecia fruit with the ability to increase the combat power of a people, like a group. For ordinary people, the effect is not weak." Fujitora commented.]

["You turned out to be a Devil fruit user? Betty, have you ever eaten a very unpalatable fruit?" Naguri asked. ]

["I don't know what a Devil Fruit is. I was too hungry a year ago and ate a fruit that landed from the sea. It was very difficult to eat, and I couldn't swim after eating it."]

["Sure enough, it really is Devil Fruit, you were so lucky." Naguri couldn't help but said. ]

[The most rubbish Devil Fruit costs 100 million Berry, and Paramecia can easily sell for more than 300-400 million. ]

[A peasant girl picked up Devil Fruit from the sea,It is indeed a stroke of luck. ]
