Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 44: The Terror Ghost Heads to Upside Down Mountain
Davy Jones and his party returned to the area around the Terror Ghost. Looking at the port that looked like shredded paper, they knew what kind of battle had happened before.

They stepped on the creaking gangplank protruding from the ship and returned to the Dread Ghost. Bucky came out to greet them immediately.

"Captain, welcome back." He touched his red nose proudly, and it was so round that it reflected light. "I have successfully repelled the enemy, killed their leader, and successfully defended the Terror Ghost."

Although Davy Jones knew the truth and that the Terror Ghost had more to do with protecting Bucky, he still nodded and said, "It's done well."

Then, he turned to look at Octopus Hachi: "Call the manatee Moo Moo."

"Yes..." Octopus Xiaoba endured the pain, lying on the side of the boat with six hands, shouting towards the sea, "Moo... Moo..."

After a while, the sea surface rippled.

Then, a huge black shadow appeared, with a bang and waves splashing. The manatee exposed his upper body and looked down at the Terror Ghost.

This was not the first time Bucky had seen a sea beast, but he was still startled by the sudden appearance of this huge creature, and his head flew away.

Manatee Moo Moo first saw Octopus Hachi and couldn't help but show an expression of wanting to get closer. Then he saw Davy Jones and suddenly trembled.

It slowly dived towards the bottom of the sea.

When its horns were almost submerged in the water, Octopus Xiaohachi shouted anxiously: "Moo, come back! Don't be afraid, I made a deal with Captain Davy Jones, he will not hurt us."

After a while, Moo Moo, the manatee, revealed half of its head and quietly observed the scene aboard the Terror Ghost.

"Tell it." Davy Jones said, "Under this ship, there is an abyss whirlpool. The space there is quite large enough to accommodate it. You let it stay in it normally, and the ship will take it with it. .”

Although Octopus Hachi was too slow to understand Captain Davy Jones' words, he still had the ability to repeat them exactly as they were.

Moo Moo, the manatee, is afraid of Davy Jones, but has complete trust in Hachi, the octopus.

Therefore, when Octopus Xiaoba relayed Davy Jones's words and comforted it again and again, it slowly dived into the bottom of the Terror Ghost and was indeed swallowed by the abyss whirlpool.

When it opened its eyes in the abyss, it realized that it was in another world, just like there was a small ocean in the abyss.

Countless fragments of the broken hull floated upward from time to time and merged into the Horrible Ghost. Countless body fragments sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming food for a number of strange fish here.

All in all, this became Moo Moo's new home.

After confirming that the manatee Moo Moo had entered the abyssal vortex, Davy Jones ordered the Terror Ghost to set sail again.

A cloud of sea fog shrouded the surrounding area, submerging the hull and making all traces of the Terror Ghost disappear.

The Terror Ghost sailed out of the wide offshore waters of the island where Cocoa West Village is located, and headed towards the deep sea under the white fog that blocked the view.

The direction of this voyage is undoubtedly pointing to the entrance of the Grand Route - Upside Down Mountain.

After a day and night.

Arrita, who took off her wide-brimmed white hat and let down her black hair, spread out a yellowed sea chart on a round table with many spiral tree patterns, and poked the specific location of Upside Down Mountain with the tip of her index finger.

She compiled some of the information she had investigated, plus the experience of Bucky and Octopus Hachi who had been on the Grand Line for a period of time, and then explained it to everyone.

"There are a total of five rivers in the Red Earth Continent in the Upside Down Mountain. Four of them are formed by the influx of seawater from the four oceans and washing up the mountain. Eventually, the sea currents converge into the fifth river, which is the river that leads directly to the Grand Route."

Octopus Hachi, with bandages wrapped around his body, sat on a chair, stretched his neck, and looked at the chart seriously, even if he didn't understand it very well.

He had followed Aaron to the East China Sea, taking the deep-sea route. He had not yet walked this wonderful road on the sea, and was quite curious about it.

"After coming down from the Upside Down Mountain, there is the Grand Line." Arrita continued.

"There, the wind direction and sea currents will become disordered, and the climate and environment will become increasingly harsh. If you only rely on intuition and experience to sail, you will easily lose your way. For this reason, I suggest that the first thing to do after entering the Grand Line is , is to buy a 'record pointer'."

The recording pointer can be understood as a higher compass, which is suitable for an unpredictable place like the Grand Line.

As long as they stay on an island long enough, the recording hand can grasp the magnetism of the island ahead and correctly guide the crew to the next island.

"It would be nice if we could walk on a windless zone." Bucky sat back on the chair, holding the back of his head with his hands, his red nose turned up, looking carefree, "Unfortunately, there is a nest of giant sea kings, even if the ship comes close It’s easy to be dragged completely into the bottom of the sea.”

The windless belt is located on both sides of the Grand Line, cleverly blocking the direct routes between it and the four oceans.

The climate here is quite stable, that is, "windless" as the name suggests. Generally, ships without power and no means of resisting the sea king will not approach the windless zone.

Davy Jones thought of the windless zone and tried to find a way to catch a giant sea king.

However, considering that a Neptune-like creature was crammed into the abyss at the bottom of the Terror Ghost, Moo Moo didn't have much room to move. Moreover, he had no way to tame the Neptune-like creature for the time being, so he had to give up.To frighten the Neptune type, one can make use of his overbearing domineering energy that appears and disappears at times. If it is tamed for a long time, other methods must be found.

Crowe pushed up his glasses and didn't express any opinion. He didn't know much about the Grand Line and only knew some sporadic rumors.

Arrita paused and continued: "With the record pointer, it will guide one of the seven fixed routes. Along this route, we can sail the first half of the Grand Route - 'Paradise'."

Although the Grand Line is also called the "Pirate Graveyard", the first half of such a place is also called the "Paradise", which is quite contradictory, but understandable.

Because compared to the second half of the Grand Line - the "New World", the first half is indeed a paradise for pirates. As long as you have a certain amount of strength and luck, you will be able to gain a foothold here.

Countless pirates who have failed in the new world will choose to return to the paradise, either giving up being pirates, or waiting in dormancy for the opportunity to return to the new world.

The intersection between Paradise and the New World is the Red Earth Continent.

"The 'Fishman Island' that the captain wants to go to is at the end of the paradise, the beginning of the new world, under the deep sea of ​​this red earth continent."

Arrita revealed all the information that she had gathered through her beauty, and then sat down.

Next, Octopus Hachi, who was more familiar with Fish-Man Island, took over the topic.

"The Fish-Man Island is down there." Unexpectedly, Octopus Hachi said very briefly, as if he himself couldn't figure out the situation, "The Flying Dutchman is down there too."

Davy Jones did not hide from the crew his purpose of going to Fish-Man Island and taking away the Flying Dutchman.

He didn't care what the crew would think of the relationship between his current reputation as "King of Hell" and the Flying Dutchman.

It's not that Octopus Hachi doesn't care or don't think about it, but he doesn't understand the situation: "Captain, actually I know Vander Deken. I can talk to him then and see if he can give the broken ship to you."

"Do you know the current captain of the Flying Dutchman?" Davy Jones didn't care about Octopus Hachi's rudeness. He knew Octopus Hachi's nature was like this. "What kind of person is he?"

"It's hard to talk." Octopus Xiaoba scratched the back of his head with one arm and scratched his back with two arms. "Aaron also invited him to come to the East China Sea with us, but he refused, saying that he didn't want to be Aalong. subordinates."

A fishman who doesn't want to be inferior to others is barely worthy of the Flying Dutchman. I hope he can keep the Flying Dutchman for me until I arrive at Fishman Island.

Davy Jones thought, nodding.

"Ah." Octopus Xiaoba suddenly remembered something, widened his eyes, and asked in surprise, "Captain, I remember that there was a young boy on our fish-man street called 'Hody Jones', and Captain, you have the same name. It’s quite a coincidence, do you guys know him?”

Howdy Jones?

"I don't know him." Davy Jones shook his head and asked curiously, "What kind of person is he?"

"He respected and admired our former bosses Fisher Tiger and Aaron, and often came to us to inquire about them."

Fisher Tiger?Another new name came out.

Davy Jones did not pursue the question any further this time. After all, only Vander Deken's information was valuable to him.

However, Crowe, Alita, and Bucky had different expressions after hearing the name "Fisher Tiger".

Especially Bucky, who had been to the Grand Line. After taking a vague look at the sun mark on Octopus Hachi's forehead, he nodded clearly.

This Fisher Tiger once climbed the Red Continent with his bare hands and went to the "Holy Land Marie Joa" above to liberate slaves of different races. His heroic deeds have long been spread throughout the Grand Line and the four seas.

No matter how vicious a pirate is, it's hard not to admire his behavior of declaring war on the World Government, but just because he did this, his final outcome was quite miserable.

This concludes their discussion today. They have basically sorted out the upcoming route and will make all preparations for it.

Octopus Hachi is still recuperating in the room as a wounded man, but when it's meal time, he will go to the side of the boat to call the manatee out and feed him food.

Some of these foods were caught by Crowe from the sea, and some were purchased by Arrita in the towns she passed by.

Occasionally, Moo Moo would hunt "snacks" by himself and bring fresh meat to the Horror Ghost.

In addition to purchasing food, fresh water, alcohol, tobacco, clothing and other items, Arrita will also help Bucky buy the things on the list.

Bucky used these purchased tools, metals, and powders to sometimes make his Bucky bombs, and sometimes to maintain and maintain Alita's iron rod, Crow's cat claws, and Octopus Hachi's new knife. strengthen.

At that time, Crick's armor had been completely dismantled by him, and he had figured out the principles of various small mechanisms.

In this cycle of swaying on the sea and anchored in the harbor, the Terror Ghost is getting closer and closer to the Upside Down Mountain.
