Chapter 708: Riding the Wind!

It was busy until the early morning of the last day when the magnetism of the recording pointer was about to disappear, and the strengthening project of the Golden Merry was completely completed, and the original standard displacement of 85 tons of sailing ships increased to 90 tons in one breath, and the entire enlarged part of the hull outside the bottom of the ship was completely wrapped by two layers of additional ship plates, and the key part had to buy high-priced steel plates at any cost to strengthen them, thanks to the three strong men on board, Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wu Liang to complete the strengthening on time with a small hammer alone.

In addition to the thickened hull, the masts and sails have been strengthened as much as possible, and with the help of apes and orangutans, the Golden Merry has been fitted with a pair of steel wings that are twice the width of the hull, and a wing rudder that can be adjusted by pulling ropes, allowing the Merry to make more flexible use of the high-pressure air jets that are ejected with the currents

The important living compass ---- almost forgotten by Vinbran Kulik was also captured overnight by Sakura with Pens, Chopper and Tamasaburo, and after some negotiations with Chopper as an interpreter, he was persuaded to lead the way for everyone at the cost of five kilograms of nuts and a small bottle of Pence's own special honey.

While the pointer recording the coordinates of the empty island had not yet been replaced by the magnetic field of Gaya Island, the Golden Merry, which had completed its preparation for sailing, was bathed in the first rays of morning light and was released back into the sea, and everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates hurriedly gathered their bags and stepped on the 2.0 version of the enhanced Merry, which is not said to be refreshed, at least much stronger, and slowly sailed away from Gaya Island under the guard of the Victory Hunter of the Ape Pirates and the Utan Probe of the Orangutan Pirates.

Due to the tight sailing time, the strengthened Merry did not have time to make any supplies at all, and the fresh water and food on the ship had been exhausted in the banquet for two consecutive nights, and even the strategic reserves in Wu Liang's storage space were less than one-fifth, which could be regarded as a work of lightening the weight in advance for take-off, but he was afraid that he would not be able to replenish food in time after arriving at the empty island and would be hungry .......

Forehead! Forget it, it's too early to think about that, so let's think about how to go to heaven first!

Wu Liang, who had been working for a day and a night in a row to successfully complete the reinforcement project at the last minute, was no longer in the mood to think about what would happen after landing on the empty island, so he tightened the storage space for himself or other followers with all the large items that were not fixed on the deck, such as pianos and buckets that might roll around in the ship and smash bulkheads, and then plunged his head into the bed and planned to seize the last bit of free time to have a good rest, and after a maximum of two or three hours of sailing, it was time to enter the area with a high incidence of upwelling. The spectacular scene of the currents that can take the boat all the way up to a thousand meters in the air is not to be missed, and it must be recorded with a portable V8.

Wu Liang, who was tired and hungry, collapsed on the bed and soon fell asleep......!

--------------------------------------

"Whoa! Crash! In a half-dream, Wu Liang felt as if he was soaking in a bathtub, his whole body was wet, not to mention, and water kept dripping on his face, as if someone was calling his name.......

"Naa! Liang, get up quickly, we are about to sail into the maelstrom, I heard apes and orangutans say that the rising current may break out at any time, didn't you say that you want to record this magnificent scene? Hurry up and wake up, snap bang! "The person who is desperately trying to wake Wu Liang up from his dream is none other than Reiko Sakura, who was asked by Wu Liang to be his human alarm clock, seeing that the water spraying trick is not effective, he simply slapped Wu Liang in the face with his right hand, and the slapping sound was crackling, as if he was taking the opportunity to take revenge!?

Ahh Avenge? Could it be that he has done something that makes people angry?

There shouldn't be any!

"Alright, alright! I've woken up, stop fighting, I'll be swollen if I hit again! After being hit several times in the face, Wu Liang hurriedly protected his handsome face, which had a tendency to develop in a circle, and opened his mouth to stop Sakura from continuing to be violent to himself.

"Hurry up, the hull is starting to tilt, it must have sailed into the maelstrom, hurry up and take a look!" As the leader of the flying girl, Sakura has been very concerned about the excitement of adventures such as drag racing, and now that he has the opportunity to fly into the sky by boat, he is naturally unwilling to hide in the cabin to stay, such a spectacular scene must be witnessed outside to be enjoyable.

"It's coming, it's coming! Hey, when I put on my shoes, I'm going to fall if I pull it again! Wu Liang, who was dragged up from the bed by Sakura, stumbled out of the front cabin before he even had time to put on his shoes, and when he came to the outside of the cabin, he found that the Merry had sailed under the thick cumulus clouds that could block the sun, and at this moment he was being dragged by the apes and orangutans to the center of the bottomless super giant vortex.

"Longevity! There is such a big whirlpool, if it is really sucked to the bottom of the sea, I am afraid that it will take dozens or hundreds of years before it can surface again! Looking at the huge deep-sea whirlpool in front of the bow of the ship, which made people feel adrenaline and urine at the same time, Wu Liang, who was still a little sleepy on his face, immediately became energetic, and while holding a cigarette to relieve his nervousness, he took out a V8 and loaded a precious video tape and began to shoot.

----------------------------------------------

"Huh? Why did the whirlpool suddenly say that it was gone, could it be that what I saw just now was an illusion? I thought that the rotation amplitude of the hull should be faster and faster after entering the center of the vortex, but I didn't think that in the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, and instantly became calm, and Nami, who felt a little wrong, carefully felt the subtle vibration transmitted from the hull under her feet and couldn't help but exclaim: "All those who have the ability to read immediately hide in the cabin, and the others find a strong enough fixation to hold it firm, and the real outbreak of the current is about to come!" ”

"Hoohoo! The main event is finally about to begin! Everyone be ready, but don't fall off the boat! The most excited person on the ship was Luffy, who was sitting on the bow of the ship, and when he heard that the rising current was about to erupt, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, and even Nami's warning that she had taken refuge in the cabin in order to avoid the tragic scene of falling into the sea because of the splashing of the sea.

"Babble! I didn't want to be thrown off the ship, so Chopper quickly hid in the cabin with me! "The most excited is Luffy, so the most scared is of course Usopp, the coward, as soon as he heard Nami's words, he picked up Chopper and hid in the bilge, and he couldn't scream.

"Hey! Straw hat kid Luffy, stop me! Stinky boy, I'm here to get your 100 million Bailey head, give me enlightenment...... Ahh......h ”

"It's ......!"
