After speaking, Bill ignored Ian and gave the sailor the order to stay in place, so the twelve ships dropped their anchors and stayed in place, waiting for Rab's voice to disappear.

Ian was also listening carefully, and at the same time sighed Captain Bill and their folk wisdom.

He still remembered that Luffy and the others rashly set foot on the great route without knowing it. When they went down the waterway, they happened to encounter Rabu blocking the road, and they were about to hit the road. It was Luffy’s cannon from the bow that stopped the ship.

Is the reaction force of the cannon so great? Ian didn't know. At that time, he was thinking, does everyone who enter the great route need such a shot?

However, after coming to this real world of pirates, he realized that he wanted to turn off. Not everyone is a daredevil like Luffy and the others. Rab's whale has been watching the Gemini cape for decades. If every ship ran into it, Gemini Cape would have been blocked by the wreckage of the ship a long time ago. Those who want to enter the great sea route always have their way.

Rab’s cry was faintly in the wind, and I don’t know how long it took. Ian suddenly heard a bang, and there was trembling from the upside-down mountain in the distance, so Ian knew , Rab it has started to hit.

The fleet waited quietly. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Rab to hit the mountain. When the tremors of Upside Down Mountain stopped, Bill listened again and found that Rab’s call had indeed disappeared. So he immediately issued an order: "Everyone has it! Anchor! Set sail!"

And Bill stood on the bow again, took the telescope and began to observe the sea.

"What are you doing again?" Ian asked behind him.

Bill didn't look back and explained, "Oh, I'm observing the ocean current. If you want to enter the upside down mountain, you have to follow the ocean current."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bill had found the location of the ocean current, so he turned his head and shouted: "Turn the rudder! Go forward at two o'clock."

With Ian and their ship taking the lead, the rest of the ships in the rear began to adjust their course, and the entire fleet began to slowly cut into the ocean current.

Staying on the boat, Ian’s feeling is the most obvious. When the ship entered the ocean current, Ian only felt that the speed of the ship suddenly accelerated, just like the sudden acceleration of the car has a feeling of pushing back. Ian also felt the acceleration of the ship. However, all the boats did not open their sails at this time, and they were completely advancing along the ocean current.

"The water flow is so fast!?" Ian had a bad feeling.

Hearing what he said, Bill didn't look back, and continued to hold his binoculars to look ahead, and said, "Of course, at this speed of water, it is difficult for the boat to adjust its direction as long as it wants to. The time to test us is here!"

Ian couldn't help licking his dry mouth. He thought at the beginning that if he couldn't find the fleet, he would learn from the guy Ace, and drive a small boat to the great route by himself. However, looking at it now, it seems that he thinks about it. Somewhat naive.

"Right rudder! 13 degrees!"

"More! Left rudder! 3 degrees!"

"Very good, keep it!"

Bill's orders were communicated from time to time. The sailor in charge of the helm was nervously implementing Bill's orders. Ian knew that Bill was adjusting the course of the ship. The area of ​​the ocean current was very large, but the inlet channel of the upside-down mountain did not. It's so big, so it must be aligned with the entrance.

As it gets closer and closer to the entrance, the speed of the ocean current becomes more turbulent, and the speed of the ship is obviously accelerating. In this case, any general direction of the rudder is a hunt for death, and it is likely to break the steering wheel. Yes, so Bill's commands are all fine-tuning the course bit by bit.

The figure of the Terracotta Continent also appeared in the eyes of everyone at this time. It was a lofty mountain range. I couldn't see how high it was when I looked over it.

It may be the first time for some sailors on the ship to go to the great sea route. Seeing such a huge monster in front of them, they thought that if the ship made a mistake, they would destroy the ship and be buried on the bottom of the sea. These sailors suddenly collapsed, and they shouted in panic Writing: "Look back! Look back! We'll bump into it!"

"Ian, let them shut up!" Bill said without looking back.

Ian was also decisive, and immediately rushed over, hitting everyone's head hard, knocking these panicked people to the ground.

Anyone with a little sailing experience knows that panic at this time will not bring any benefit. They are all people on the same boat, and they can only trust the captain's decision.

It was at this moment that Ian understood why the captain had such authority on a ship.

It can be seen that Bill is also very nervous. Sweat is coming out of his forehead. Although he has been on the great route more than ten times, he can't guarantee that he will be so lucky every time.

Outside the ship’s side, there were rushing waves. The speed of the ship reached its peak at this moment along with the ocean current. Ian looked at the sea to the south. He knew that in fact, all the way to the south, he could reach the windless zone of the great route. As long as you pass through the windless zone, it is a great route. It clearly looks simple, but no one chooses to take this route. Instead, they choose to take the entrance of the upside-down mountain, which shows that the windless zone is even more dangerous.

In the hazy fog, the entrance can be seen. From Ian’s point of view, their ship’s course is just right to enter the entrance smoothly, but Bill still did not relax. Before entering the entrance, any carelessness is possible. It will cause irreversible consequences, so his orders are still being delivered, constantly fine-tuning the ship's course.

Boom!With the sound of water slamming on the coast, the ship Ian and the others were riding in suddenly pitched upwards, and the entire ship became tilted. Everyone was unstable and fell down like a gourd. On the deck.

However, even if it fell like this, it still couldn't stop the sailors on the ship from bursting into cheers!

"Long live Captain Bill!"

"Come in, we came in smoothly!"

The ship was lifted up because they had entered the waterway and were climbing the mountain along the waterway. Bill is indeed an experienced old captain. His adjustment of the course allowed the ship to enter the waterway accurately. At this moment, He is the hero of the entire ship.

Bill also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Ian and said, "Haha, sure enough, God plans to let me retire smoothly!"

Ian smiled at him, and finally let go of his heart.

"How is the ship behind!?" Bill asked loudly.

A sailor at the stern was raising his binoculars to look behind, and he also replied loudly: "Ship No. 2 enters... Ship No. 3 also enters... No. 4... No good! Ship No. 4's course is off! "

Following the shouts of the watching sailors, many people ran to the stern of the ship with concern, and Ian ran along with him. He saw two ships behind him. They were separated by a certain distance from each other. They were No. 2 and No. 3. Ship, they all entered the channel smoothly, but at the entrance, the No. 4 ship could see a clear course deviation!

He snatched a telescope in the hand of a sailor and looked over. He saw that the people on the No. 4 ship were already in a mess at this time. Several people at the rudder were working hard together, trying to hit the steering wheel, but the ocean currents The speed is too fast, and the tremendous power it brings, no matter how hard they use, the ship still deviates a little bit.

Then, the group of sailors pulling the steering wheel suddenly fell to the ground.

"No! Their steering wheel is broken!" a sailor who was also observing exclaimed.

"They're dead!" Bill couldn't help but feel pity after hearing these words.

In Ian’s sight, the No. 4 ship was carried by the current, and at extremely fast speed, one head hit the top of the mountain wall beside the entrance channel. Under the huge impact force, the entire ship disintegrated into countless fragments. .

The sailors on the ship were thrown into the air and then fell into the sea. After sinking, they never came up again. Not only people, but also the wreckage of the ship.

"They were swept away by the ocean current!" Bill took off his captain's hat, placed it on his chest in silence, and said, "May they rest in peace on the bottom of the sea."

The people in the boat did not speak, even Ian, taking off their hats one after another.

He had heard about the dangers of the Great Sea Route before, but he actually didn’t feel that much. After all, he just listened to what other people were saying. Well, one ship, one or two hundred people, just because of a shipwreck, all were buried on the bottom of the sea!?

After the ocean current hits the mountain wall, it will form a downward rolling ocean current. In this case, even people with good water cannot float up, and can only turn into a corpse that sinks under the dark and cold seabed forever. The shipwreck can be said to be shocking, but Bill and the other people on the ship all have a common expression. It seems that for them, they have seen such things more than once or twice?

"What should I do if the fleet has lost?" Ian asked Bill.

"What else?" Bill shrugged, "Everyone who got on the boat was actually mentally prepared to die. If we lost a boat, we still have eleven boats. We still have to move on. ."

Now I don’t even know how to say it. Sure enough, I still have less knowledge...

Perhaps it was because of the tragedy of Ship No. 4, the ships behind seemed to be more careful, with 120,000 points of energy, adjusting their course, and entering the channel one after another, without any loss.

The only ship that was killed was ship number four. Ian shuddered and thought: "Ship number four, the death is terrible! I won't be riding on a ship with such a designation if I kill myself in the future!"

Watching the boat climb the mountain along the waterway, Ian asked Bill, "How high is this mountain? How long will we have to climb?"

"Usually it takes about three minutes!" Bill held his pipe in his mouth and said, "Come on, when you get to the top of the mountain, you will be able to see the other three ocean waterways, Eastern Blue, Western Blue, Northern Blue and Southern Blue. , The ocean currents of these four oceans will all converge on the top of Upside Down Mountain."

Can you see other ocean waterways?Ian was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Bill, in this case, if there happens to be ships in other oceans that upside down the mountain along the waterway, won't they collide on the top of the mountain?"

"Such a thing happened!" Bill said with a smile, "but that kind of chance is very small, and it may not happen once in a few years."

"Then what if you really meet?" Ian asked.

"Then just see who can survive!" Bill shrugged and smiled: "Don't worry, we don't have to be so unlucky."

However, the words hadn't fallen yet, and the watchman on the mast suddenly yelled in panic: "Found other ships! It's from the South China Sea Channel! We...we'll collide with them!"

Bearden was dumbfounded and looked at Ian blankly.

Ian also wished to give herself a slap: "Nima, call you a crow's mouth!"
