Chapter 344

Yeruashi has already determined the approximate route of the trip.

This island is located at the beginning of the first half of the Grand Line, so he decided to first swim to the Sabaodi Archipelago, and then go to the New World and get to the back side of Reverse Mountain.

It will be a round-the-world trip.

As for whether it would be the same as becoming the Pirate King?

Yeruashi was not interested in this title, he only wanted to see which of the many directions the future would flow in.

Of course, there are a number of places that he wants to visit, including Sky Island, Fishman Island and...Marinford, as well as the Holy Land of Marijoa.

How can you not want to go to such places, once in the world of Van Pease?

...

Yeruashi gave life not only to many things and parts of the ship, but also to the seawater beneath it, turning it into a huge water elemental.

With the support of the revived water, the ship sailed at a fairly high speed.

They sailed through two islands in less than half a month, nearing the middle of the first half of the Grand Line.

At that time.

Large waves appeared on the surface of the sea around the ship, and the sky darkened sharply, covered with a huge number of clouds, between which arcs of lightning intertwined.

But Robin and Yeruashi continued to sit on the couch and chair, calmly reading books and seemingly oblivious to the impending storm.

In the cabin.

Yeruashi turned the last page of the book and gently closed it after reading the last line.

The title on the cover was the Divine Spirit System.

"Well written.»

Yeruashi thoughtfully appraised the book, sending it to the shelf with a gentle wave of his hand, after which another book rose from the shelf and fell smoothly into his hand.

Robin also closed the book and thought about it, as if she was still immersed in the world of the book.

In a few seconds.

She put the book on the shelf and spoke to Yeruashi, looking out the window with concern, " It seems like a big storm is brewing, we won't have any problems?»

"Ah...nothing will happen, you don't have to worry so much about some storm.»

Yeruashi waved his hand in a relaxed manner, as if it was something insignificant.

Robin sighed and said: "I went to cook.»

Yeruashi nodded and smiled as he watched Robin leave.

In fact, he is not a fan of loli, just growing up, girls mostly turn into greedy predators, hungry for his body, and begin to resort to a variety of radical means, so Yeruashi really liked the cute behavior of girls at a young age.

After Robin left, Yeruashi turned his head to look at the sky outside, and a golden glow flashed in his eyes, in which a small clock could be vaguely seen.

"Ah?»

Initially, he wanted to look into the future to see to what extent this storm could grow, but the result greatly surprised Yeruashi.

This was not about the storm itself, but about what would happen next.

...

About ten kilometers from Yeruashi's ship.

A ship of quite a large size was floating on the waves.

Suddenly, a pirate symbol in the shape of a skull was visible on its sail, with two sabers folded crosswise behind it.

Perhaps not many people are familiar with this flag now, but ten years later it will undergo some changes — three red stripes will appear in the upper right part of the skull, similar to scars.

By that time...

Whoever sees this flag on the expanse of the sea, they will cry out in horror the name of this pirate team — the Pirates of the Red-haired One!

"Hey, Captain, at this rate, this storm is going to engulf us.»

Yasopp, straining at a few ropes on the sails, looked down and shouted.

At the moment, Shanks is only about twenty years old.

He just recently assembled a team in East Blue and has not even crossed the middle of the first half of the Grand Line, but already has a reward of several hundred million belly, and all this because he was a cabin boy on the ship of the Pirate King!

"Da-ha-ha-ha, don't worry about such small things.»

Shanks took the wheel and laughed, showing no signs of panic.

For Shanks, as a man who had been on the Pirate King's ship and had seen the entire Grand Line, it really was a small thing, in the New World, the second half of the Grand Line, lightning can start falling from the sky even without clouds and rain.

"But the storm is getting stronger.»

Beckman grabbed his cloak, which was blown away by a strong gust of wind, and turned to Shanks: "Our ship is not able to withstand such a storm and may be capsized, we must change course as quickly as possible! Shanks!!»

Shanks gripped the wheel, about to say something.

But at that moment, Jasopp, who was on the mast, looked around the sea and noticed a small ship in the middle of the huge waves.

"Captain, a ship is on the horizon!»

"The ship is much smaller than ours, they probably won't last long.»

Beckman took a cigarette, already soaked through with rain, and said thoughtfully, looking at the ship in the distance.

Shanks shook his head as he looked at Yeruashi's ship, " They've sailed much deeper, it won't be easy to help them.»

The current situation didn't cause Shanks any concern, he was confident that he could handle these waves, but if he got even closer to the epicenter of the storm, it would become troublesome and their ship might actually capsize.

"Let's take care of ourselves first, Captain!»

One of the team members exclaimed loudly.

Shanks looked at Beckman. Give the signal, if they change course and follow us, there may be a chance to leave the eye of the storm!»

"Eh, good...»

Beckman sighed a little helplessly, but didn't object.

He pulled out a special pistol and launched a signal bomb into the sky.

Boom!

The bomb exploded loudly in the sky, turning into fireworks.

At the same time.

Yeruashi, who had just left the cabin and come on deck, was looking at the signal bomb that had exploded in the sky, and the Red-Haired Pirate ship sailing in the middle of the raging sea.

"Signal...»

"Offer to follow them?»

Yeruashi chuckled as he watched the fireworks in the sky and gave the command with his chin raised, " Follow this ship!»

"Daaaa captain!»

The sails, the wheel, and other parts of the ship all exclaimed in unison.

As the storm changed course, it began to intensify, and flashes of lightning increasingly lit up the dark sky.

The already violent storm became even more chaotic and dangerous, as if the water around them was gradually boiling.

It seemed that the ship could be overturned at any moment and broken by huge waves.

The two ships began to gradually converge, in the midst of a raging storm.
