Sailing Starts from Becoming Luffy

Chapter 48: Meeting Crocus

"This should be the Twin Points marked on the nautical chart."

The Merry, which was rushing down the mountain with the current at high speed, finally stopped slowly.

Looking at the lighthouse in front of them, Zoro and the others were excited.

Even Luffy couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and finally entered the Grand Line!

"Whoa Whoah Whoah"

Just when Luffy and the others were still in the excitement of entering the Grand Line, a strange roar came.

Then, a huge shadow quickly rose from the calm sea.

The black shadow stood upright, and the height above the sea was twenty or thirty meters.

On the top of its head, there are criss-cross scars.

A closer look reveals that it is a huge whale.

"Ahhh, how can there be such a big whale!!!"

Seeing the huge whale that suddenly surfaced and blocked in front of the Merry, Usopp panicked instantly and ran back and forth on the Merry's deck.

Even Zoro and Sanji couldn't help but have cold sweat on their foreheads.

Nami hid behind Luffy the first time the whale appeared.

Clinging tightly to the corners of Luffy's clothes with both hands, he looked at the big whale screaming.

Although Luffy wasn't scared, such a huge whale still surprised Luffy for a while.

This was the first time Luffy had seen such a large creature, either in a past life or in the present.

"This should be Laboon, right?"

Luffy looked at the huge whale in front of him, and already knew the origin of the whale in his heart.

Just when a few people were still in shock and fear, something that made everyone even more tearful happened.

I saw that the huge whale that had been standing on the sea suddenly opened its mouth.

That fully opened whale mouth is enough to swallow an unknown number of Merry's.

Just after the huge whale grew its mouth, a huge suction force came out of the whale's mouth.

Under this force, the calm sea where the Merry was originally located, the waves rolled in an instant, and turbulent currents formed.

Following the whale's open mouth, the Merry was forced to sail towards the whale's mouth, driven by the current.

"I'm going to... I'm going to be eaten by a whale!"

"Luffy, think of a way, we're going to be eaten!"

"Damn it, this is too exaggerated!"

Luffy, who was shaking his body desperately by Nami, had to hug Nami tightly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Nami being thrown out, but that Luffy felt that if he didn't move, he would be stunned by Nami.

Although the sea outside was rough, the currents that flowed directly into the whale were not much ups and downs.

The Merry drove quickly and steadily into the dark environment.

It didn't take long for a light to come, and everyone except Luffy had a feeling of closing their eyes and waiting to die.

"here is?"

"There is actually a sky, aren't we being swallowed by a whale?"

"Huh? There's a house there. Does anyone live here?"

A few people were talking with you and me, completely forgetting the scene where you just burst into tears.

Luffy looked at the small house not far away and thought a little.

I don't know if Crocus has any useful information.

Or ask him if he has any medical notes or something to prepare for Chopper?

Luffy will no longer consider whether he can successfully invite the crew!

Just when everyone was still sighing about this wonderful space, another huge creature suddenly jumped out of the water.

Different from just now, this time the creature rushed towards the Merry, obviously intending to attack the Merry.

"What's the deal this time?"

The continuous fright finally made Usopp unable to help collapse, sitting on the deck with one buttocks, holding the mast in tears and shivering.

"It's the king squid, Luffy, get rid of it!"

Nami, who had been behind Luffy since the beginning, grabbed Luffy again and shook him.

Luffy was helpless, and just as he was about to take action, two piercing sounds came.

"Whizzing"

Two spears pierced from the back of the king squid, and the tips of the spears penetrated from the front of the king squid facing the Merry.

Afterwards, the king squid, who had swooped aggressively towards the Merry, froze and fell down.

The splashing waves shook the Merry violently.

After the king squid fell into the water, a large net was thrown directly over, and the corpse of the king squid was caught in the net.

Luffy looked at the source of the spear and the net, which was the only small house in the space.

"It's a flower!"

Because of the location, Sanji could only see a few petal-shaped spreads over there.

"It's human, someone is dragging this king squid!"

Nami, who was standing behind Luffy, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her position could clearly see the situation on the other side.

"Did that old gentleman kill the king squid? It took only one blow..."

After finally seeing the person on the other side, Sanji looked at him in disbelief.

And the old man who dragged the king squid to the shore also looked at Sanji.

The sharp eyes made Sanji nervous for a while, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This feeling made Sanji seem to be back in the scene where he was shocked by Luffy a few days ago.

Just as Sanji was nervously waiting for the other person to speak, the old man with the strange petals on his head suddenly ran to the reclining chair next to him.

Then he lay down directly under Sanji's stunned eyes, and took out a newspaper to read by the way.

"You speak a word!"

Sanji, who was frightened by the old man's eyes before, saw that the other party was lying down and reading the newspaper so suddenly, his image of a reclusive expert instantly collapsed.

The unbearable Sanji suddenly roared at the other party.

And Usopp, who was shivering with fear by the king squid, was no longer afraid after seeing the king squid being killed.

"If you want to fight, Laozi will accompany us, we have cannons!"

Hearing Usopp's words, the old man lying on the reclining chair finally reacted, and looked at Sanji and Usopp with sharp eyes again.

"Don't say such things...it will kill people."

"...Who do you think will die?"

With the first experience, this time Sanji was not intimidated by the other party's aura.

"I."

The understatement of the answer once again allowed Sanji to break the defense.

"It's you!"

"Don't be so angry, old man, can you tell us who you are? Where is this place?"

Zoro on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and asked the old man in a self-kind tone.

"Is it proper etiquette to state your name before asking others?"

The old man did not answer directly, but looked at Zoro with the same eyes.

Zoro was not frightened, and nodded after hearing the old man's words.

"Yeah, you're right, sorry, my name is..."

"My name is Crocus, the lighthouse keeper at Twin Points, 71 years old, type AB, Gemini!"

Zoro, who was full of confidence, broke the defense in an instant. If it wasn't for Usopp's grasp from behind, he would have drawn his knife and slashed at the old man. *
