After a meal, the relationship between everyone has become a lot closer, but at most it has only changed from strangers to familiar strangers, and it will take time to further close the relationship between each other.

After eating, it was completely dark, and except for a few cabins on the whole ship, only the buoy light at the bow that illuminated the course was still shining, illuminating the fifty meters near the bow of the ship.

The mainsail in the centre of the hull had been folded in order to prevent the mast from being broken by the wind, and the Golden Merry, powered only by a diagonal spinnaker at the stern, was moving on with the wind and waves, which had weakened to five or six degrees, and at the present speed, which was about three or four knots an hour, in a few days at most, it would be close to the entrance to the great route shown on the charts, ---- Mount Lihuas. (Also known as Upside Down Mountain, one of the intersections with the Red Earth Continent and the other is the Holy Land of Maryjoya, which is also the starting point of the Great Shipping Route.) ）

Since the voyage was completely in the emergency situation of being chased by the navy behind them, the group could only advance in the storm, and even at night they did not dare to lower the anchor and stop the ship to rest, for fear that because they were too close to Rogue Town, they would be surrounded by the naval fleet if they were not careful, and if they were really afraid that they would be in big trouble.

If it was on land, with the super combat effectiveness of Wu Liang and his party, it would not be a big deal to meet a three-headed and five-hundred-hundred-man navy officer and soldier, and they would all be cleaned up casually, but by the time it came to the sea, the navy of three or five hundred people would have been able to form a small-scale fleet, and it was difficult to say whether it would be hit by stray bullets under the indiscriminate artillery bombardment, and even if it didn't hurt anyone, the Golden Merry couldn't hold on. (After all, it's just an eighty-five-ton sailboat)

Therefore, it is necessary to take the risk of night sailing, and at least a quarter of the manpower must be awake to ensure that the ship's course will not be deviated by the wind and waves. In this way, it can only fall on the shoulders of Luffy, Wu Liang, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Tamasaburo, and the five people and one pet can be divided into three groups to take turns to watch the night, and each group only needs to be on duty for about three hours to survive until dawn the next day.

Wu Liang and Yu Saburo, as newcomers who had just boarded the ship and were not yet familiar with the operation of sailboats, were arranged to be on the easiest first shift, and as long as they ensured that the course continued to move forward for three hours, they could go back to the cabin and sleep for six hours, without having to go through the painful torture of being picked up from bed after sleeping for three hours, and going back to sleep for three hours after three hours.

Although it is still not clear what the exact function of the ropes on the ship is as complex as a spider's web, (compared to the cables of other large ships, the Caravel sailing ship is a very simple type, after all, the number of masts is smaller, and the number of cables that need to be fixed and adjusted is much less.) However, Wu Liang, who can be proficient in the compass and sextant, and can read the charts, can be perfectly competent for the night job, after all, he has studied hard in the past to have a yacht driving license for the sea man, and it is not a problem to follow the wind direction and current to ensure the course, and with Yu Saburo by his side, he can also chat with him to pass the time without being too boring.

The whole night passed slowly in the sound of the waves crashing against the hull of the ship, and Wu Liang and Tamasaburo, who had returned to the cabin to rest after completing their night work, slept until dawn in the morning, and then got up to wash.

Said to be washing, in fact, it is just two glasses of water per person, and the girls can share another half a cup, one cup brushes their teeth and one cup soaks the towel to wipe their faces, and the conditions on the ship are no better than those on land, and everything has to be saved according to the plan, especially at the moment, the Golden Merry is still used to replenish the supplies at the previous stop, and if you don't save some, I'm afraid you won't be able to last even ten days.

However, this embarrassing situation was greatly improved after Wu Liang brushed his teeth with the rainwater saved last night and went to the living room for a walk, the two thousand liters of water tank that had been used up to more than half of the ship was first carefully cleaned and then filled with clear mountain spring water, and everyone on the boat took a good shower with the water from the brush tank, which was a rare luxury, in addition to about three large buckets of slightly turbid fresh water left by Nami and his cherished keeping, and planned to keep it for watering his precious orange tree in the future, In the eyes of seafarers, the value of fresh water is evident from this.

In addition to replenishing fresh water, Wu Liang also refilled the ship's pantry, although most of them were metal cans that could be stored for a long time without fear of bumps, as well as staple foods such as rice and flour, but there were also some fresh vegetables such as cabbage, tomatoes, celery, and carrots, which were enough to eat for a week, and could be eaten for a longer time with some catches caught during the voyage.

Wu Liang's coquettish operation was done in front of Nami and Sanji, and the operation method of conjuring various materials out of thin air like magic made the two completely dumbfounded, until Luffy, who was accustomed to it, came forward to give a very unreliable explanation, and sent the two away with the statement that Wu Liang might be the one who ate the fruit of space.

The peaceful day begins with the chirping of seabirds......

Wait a minute！ Is there a whole bunch of seabirds gathering together and chirping non-stop for the yarn?

Could it be ...... There are schools of fish down there?

In the past, many navigators went out to sea when the sea conditions allowed the basic will be behind the expedition to drag fishing nets, expedition ships guest appearance in the ocean fishing boat is a normal thing, the endless catch of all kinds of seafood is equivalent to the seafarers' inexhaustible food storehouse, can greatly reduce the pressure of logistics supply, now encounter the fish naturally can not be missed.

Wu Liang, who had finished replenishing the living room with fresh water and ingredients, began to greet Luffy loudly on the deck: "Hey! Luffy, there is a school of fish at three o'clock in front of the right, so quickly take out the fishing net and rod and other things, and get ready to fish! ”

"Nani? Got fish to eat? Look at me、Hey......! Hearing Wu Liang's shout, Luffy rushed out of the living room and discerned the direction, and flew towards the most dense position of the seabirds not far away, and when the rubber arm bounced back from the sea more than two hundred meters away, there was already a big black shadow on his hand, but from the outside, it didn't look like he had caught a fish at all, but it was a little like a small figure ......!

"Yaga! How do you want to stop? Reiko hurry up and help! As the distance got closer and closer, Wu Liang saw it thoroughly clearly, and the one who was caught by Luffy in his hand was a little Lori who was not very old, but as the distance continued to shorten, the flight speed of the little Lori became faster and faster, and he was about to hit Zoro who was dozing off on the deck, and Wu Liang, who didn't want to see Lori landing the deck, had to stand up and prepare to act as a human brake ......!
