Chapter 5 Crying at the foot of the mountain
"Sister Mengyu, my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless!" At first, there were some objections to Mengyu's decision, but after seeing the Red Earth Continent, everyone decided to listen to Mengyu about sailing in the future. Jade! No, Xiu Suning has already begun to get close to Meng Yutao, but the red hearts in his eyes make people a little suspicious of his motives - to learn something or to take advantage of the opportunity. Everyone on the ship thinks that the latter is the majority. .biquge
"It's true. You can't even notice it in anime. Only when you are there can you realize how small we are." Meng Xuan couldn't help but murmured to himself as he looked at the red earth continent blending into the sky.
"Senior Meng Xuan, what did you just say?" Meng Yu caught Meng Xuan's speech disorder.
"It's nothing, just a little lamentation about the miraculous craftsmanship. Some things are indeed beyond human power." Meng Xuan gently avoided the topic. This made me want to find out some of Meng Xuan's little secrets, but unexpectedly, Meng Xuan turned a deaf ear to the beauty traps he frequently used! I heard Captain Ace, who had already woken up, say privately that there was a female navy sergeant in Rogge Town who made someone's mouth water! Could it be that I can't compare to that girl in appearance? Even if you can't compare to that person in terms of appearance, you still can't kill a teenage girl with your proud F-cup? They say women are not curious, they are just competitive! The tendency to compare with each other makes women narrow-minded!
They have never met before, but Mengyu already hates Dasqi! From this point of view, this statement is true!
"Poluto, why is it so difficult to get the rudder today?" Suddenly Xiu Suning's voice came from the wheelhouse.
"Nonsense! The boat I built is the lightest... Huh?" Polotto, who was still cursing at first, immediately dissipated the smile on his face as soon as he took over.
"Don't be nervous, it's the current. This is the reason for the rising current. Let me, as a Shuishui person, handle the next thing." She turned the helm of the boat with a smile. Mengyu had no idea of steering the ship at all. Just using your own ability to keep the ship's forward path consistent with the direction of the ocean current is enough for the ship to successfully climb Upside Down Mountain!
"While there is still some time, why don't we do something." Meng Xuan carried the only wine barrel on the ship to the deck. After placing it firmly, he put his feet on it. "We are about to enter the Great Channel. Why don't you all shout out your dreams loudly in front of many friends on this memorable day? My dream is to find a few girls with loli appearance who are taller than me, and then let them accompany me to collect medicine. "
"It turns out that Senior Mengxuan is a lolicon..." After finally knowing the reason why she wouldn't be looked at twice, Meng Yu pouted in embarrassment.
"I want you to talk more!" The arrogant man suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him began to change.
"Next! Don't let me do it!" Meng Xuan became frightened after becoming angry, so everyone stopped talking.
"Become the freest man - the Pirate King!" Ace shouted after putting his feet up.
"Kill all the villains!" Poluto roared in a deep voice.
"Find allblue!" The dreams of chefs seem to be so simple.
"Finding a good husband..." Meng Yu glanced at Meng Xuan, but her eyes were full of disappointment. She was destined to be unable to fall into Meng Xuan's eyes as a royal sister.
"Remember today's oath. If we can find Onepiece, we expect that our dream will have been realized by then. If there are still others who have not realized it, then everyone should remember to help." Meng Xuan said righteously.
"It seems like you and Mengyu are the only ones who can't make it happen, right?" Everyone couldn't help but secretly slander a guy who was obviously pretending to be self-serving but speaking righteous words.
"Well, the Great Channel, here we come! Huh? It seems we don't have the pirate flag and the name of the pirate group yet..." Meng Xuan suddenly spoke. After all, it wasn't Boluoto. When Meng Xuan raised this issue, everyone's attention naturally increased a lot.
"How about calling them the Heroes Pirates?" Ace was the first to express his opinion.
"You, stop looking, it's just you!" Meng Xuan pointed at Ace, "Go to the observation tower! If there is a situation, please stay there. If there is no situation, stay there!"
"Tch!" Ace knew his weakness, but when he saw Meng Xuan's hand reaching into the medicine bag again, he was still thinking of being arrogant and immediately transformed into elements and flew to the observation deck!
"Our ship's name is Mo Chalu, and the two opposite expressions on the captain's hat are one of laughter and one of cry. How about we call them the Spade Pirates?" Mengyu pinched her round chin and said, this habit is similar to Meng Xuan's. Learned.
"How did the name of the Spade Pirates come about?" Meng Xuan finally remembered what the name of Ace's ship was. It can only be said that someone's memory for things they don't care much about is comparable to that of a fish - only seven seconds!
"Then Mengyu is going to control the sea currents. Ace is there to help. Boluoto, you come and draw the pirate flag. I'll give you a suggestion. The expression on Ace's hat will also be painted on it." Suddenly he seemed to notice something, A sharp look flashed in Meng Xuan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Okay." When Meng Xuan asked for help, Boluotu was also in high spirits. Because of Mengyu's presence, the ship sailed smoothly despite the turbulent currents. Since there was such a good environment, Boluoto quickly designed the pirate flag.
"Not bad!" Meng Xuan looked at Boluoto's masterpiece with satisfaction - the flag was black, the color most commonly used by pirates, and the spades on it were blood red, but the words "spade" were written underneath. The pirate logo is a skull wearing the same hat as Ace, which is somewhat similar to Luffy's flag later.
"Ace! This is our pirate flag." Meng Xuan jumped up to the observation deck, "I designed this." Someone took the credit without blushing or out of breath. "It was just painted by Polotto." Meng Xuan added in his mind. Of course, you will only say it in your heart, which is enough to make the guilt in someone's heart disappear.
"Captain, I am..." Meng Yu, who was beside her, suddenly softened and collapsed on the observation deck.
"Mengyu!" Ace rushed over and slapped Mengyu on the face. Seeing that Mengyu didn't respond, Ace slapped her even harder! "Hey! Mengyu, are you okay? Hello!"
"Go away! Do you want to beat her to death?" Meng Xuan pushed away Ace who rolled up his sleeves and was about to continue working hard. Meng Xuan really had nothing to do with this idiot! "It seems that I underestimated the power of nature. Even for those with natural fruit abilities, it is not easy to fight against the power of nature. Mengyu is suffering from excessive fatigue caused by excessive use of abilities. You are here Watch, I'll take the helm. Without Mengyu's control, the ship will shake violently later, so be careful."
"Go." Ace lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face, which was flushed with embarrassment. It's just that Dream didn't pay attention to him at all.
Mengyu was tied to the bed to prevent her from being thrown out by the shaking of the ship. Meng Xuan then took over the task of steering the ship, while Xiu Suning and Boluotu tied up everything that could move freely on the ship.
The current is indeed very fast, and it is very difficult to control the rudder with Meng Xuan's strength that can easily lift a thousand kilograms.
"The power of nature should not be underestimated!" Meng Xuan secretly reminded himself to avoid capsizing in the gutter later.
"Keep right!" Ace's voice suddenly came.
"Okay!" Meng Xuan immediately pushed the rudder with all his strength. However, the current was too strong, and Meng Xuan's power was too great. The two powers were competing, and the weak rudder simply stopped working.
"Damn it! The chain dropped at the most critical moment! If there is a Ship Elf on this ship, I promise not to beat you to death when he comes out!" Meng Xuan couldn't help but cursed. "Ace, use Fire Punch to make the water on the left side of the ship evaporate!"
"Fire Fist!" Ace immediately obeyed. An oversized fire fist hit the water, and bursts of mist rose from the place where water and fire merged, but were instantly carried away by the turbulent sea currents. But the Mochalu's sailing route finally returned to the same direction as the current.
In front of nature, human power is small, and the same goes for ships.
The Mochalu was sailing tremblingly in the current. The rudder had been broken. There was no point in staying in the control room anymore. Meng Xuan jumped to the observation deck to accompany Ace.
"Is the injury much better?"
"Well, after taking your medicine, I suddenly felt that Devil Fruit actually tastes very good."
"Get out!" Meng Xuan's face turned red. He just sells dog-skin plasters. Even though he has seen a lot of medical skills in this life, he still doesn't know how to mix the taste. What's more, he is a poison maker, and he is more likely to use it to harm people than to save them! Why do you make it so delicious? Give the victim some temporary comfort?
"But that Smog guy is very powerful!" As he spoke, the Mochalu had entered the canal channel and entered the middle zone very steadily, and Ace temporarily relaxed.
"It's not easy to tell the difference between fire and smoke." Meng Xuan said lightly. "Presumably when we enter the Grand Channel, your new bounty order will come out. Presumably the title will also be changed."
"Asshole! Why don't you pretend to be wealthy even though you have no money?"
"Alele. Why bother with such a trivial matter?" Meng Xuan picked his nose and tried to change the subject. After all, he was the one who sent the photo! The guilty conscience is most suitable to be used on Meng Xuan at this time!
"Hmph!" Ace was most aware of how thick-skinned Meng Xuan was. He knew that no matter how much he said, he would not be able to break someone's face-skinned defense. With a cold snort, Ace continued to pay attention to the direction of the ship.
"That should be the canal." Even though he thought he had seen many strange mountains and streams in his previous life when he traveled over mountains and ridges to collect herbs, Meng Xuan was still surprised when he saw the canal rushing up to the top of an unknown mountain. I can't close my mouth.
"Look at the fuss you make." Ace suppressed the surprise in his heart, but laughed at Meng Xuan.
"Pretend! Pretend again!" With Ace's acting talent, the only people he could deceive were super idiots like Luffy. So Meng Xuan didn't bother to refute Ace's ridicule.
"Meng Xuan, are we...really going to enter the Great Channel?" After a moment of silence, Ace suddenly asked.
"Nonsense!" Meng Xuan replied angrily, but then looked at Ace with a serious face, "Remember that when you become the Pirate King, you must send an announcement to the world. You are tall and have a lolita face. Any girl who is a royal sister can come to me to sign up for marriage."
"Asshole! The title of Pirate King is not for this!" Ace said angrily.
"Alele, isn't it possible? If I had known about it, I would have joined the navy. Look at how widely the bounty orders are issued. If my request for marriage were sent out in the form of a bounty order, tsk tsk..." Someone began to imagine his own life. A wonderful life.
"You..." It was the first time he heard someone use the title of Pirate King like this, which made Ace really angry and shocked.
"Oh? Can't the name One Piece be used like this? It's a waste of resources to not use such a big name to find marriage. But what do you think of what I just said about using a method like issuing a reward to find marriage? Hey! What's your expression? Huh? Am I doing this for myself? Don't you want you and Luffy to meet your future nephew as soon as possible?" Meng Xuan saw Ace's expression as if he had eaten Xiang, and immediately explained his motives for doing this righteously. . But Ace wasn't sure whether he believed it or not.
"Huh! We finally entered the canal!" Ignoring someone who was still trying to persuade him to become the Pirate King and help him get married, Ace saw that the boat finally sailed smoothly into the canal, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and calmly Entering the canal means that you can embark on the great waterway! "Meng Xuan, after entering the Great Channel, I have a plan, a plan that can make me famous..."
"Are you a little anxious now? I'm afraid you will die if you do this with your strength." Meng Xuan did not stop him. Since Ace has revealed his plan, it means that he has made up his mind. As a crew member, once the captain makes a decision , the only thing left for you is how to best complete this plan!
"I need to be recognized by the world as quickly as possible! Because I don't want to live in his shadow all the time."
"Okay, as you wish, Captain, I will do my best to help you, as long as I still have breath." Meng Xuan slowly saluted Ace. This is what crew members should do. But then he punched Ace again, which is what a brother should do. "What a willful little brother..." Meng Xuan blew the unintentional smoke from his fist and complained helplessly.
"Thanks."
"Can I think that you agreed to become the Pirate King and helped me get married?" Ever since he met the top-notch Loli beauty like Du Si Qi, Meng Xuan's male hormone secretion was completely out of balance!
“离我远点,你个混蛋萝莉控!我最后一次警告你,海贼王是最自由的人,而不是最能征婚的人!你个混蛋再敢污蔑海贼王的名号,我立刻揍你一"Dun!" Ace was furious, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my rude behavior just now."
"Please! Politeness comes from the inside out. Why don't you pretend to be more like your brother!" Suddenly Meng Xuan seemed to remember something, and ignored Ace and jumped off the observation tower.
"Tch! Cheapskate. Ah..." When Ace saw Meng Xuan had entered the cabin, he immediately stretched out his middle finger arrogantly and began to despise someone, but suddenly realized that he was no longer on the observation deck!
"Meng Xuan, you bastard! You already knew that the boat was going to reach the highest point, so you jumped off the observation tower before the boat took off, right? I will never help you find a wife!"
"Bang!" After floating in mid-air for a while, the Mochalu fell heavily back to the sea. However, Ace's elemental form was floating in the air, so he was fine.
"Wow, it's so dangerous!" Meng Xuan walked out of the cabin with great joy, his face full of happiness after the disaster.
"Asshole! Why didn't you tell me that the ship would float in mid-air?" Seeing the person who almost made him look embarrassed appeared, Ace's facial expression instantly turned into a beast!
"It's common sense to rush to a high place quickly, and then naturally fly into the air, okay? Don't you see Xiu Suning and Boluotu squatting in the cabin obediently?" Meng Xuan looked at him with a look of grievance. With Ace.
"That's it! What you did just now was very rude, and I'm really sorry." Feeling that it seemed like it was really his fault, Ace thought about it and bowed to apologize.
"Hahaha... you are indeed a brat! It's so easy to believe it! My brother is just playing with you! What's wrong?" He is worthy of being a close disciple of Shanks, even his boat-shooting movements are exactly the same.
"Asshole! It's you and not me today!"
"Wait!" Meng Xuan suddenly said seriously, "Did you hear anything?"
"You still want to lie to me? Fire Fist!" Having just been fooled once, how could Ace believe Meng Xuan's words so easily?
"Idiot! Listen carefully!" He punched the flames and Meng Xuan no longer fought back, but shouted in a stern tone.
"Woo..." Waves of desolate roars came from below, and Ace heard it clearly now.
"What? It sounds like someone is crying." Ace said, pressing his hat.
"Cry for your brother-in-law! How can anyone cry so loudly? Why don't you cry for me?" Meng Xuan angrily threw Ace a slap in the face. Is it really right to get on this ship? Why do you feel like you have regret?
