"The Scientific Force under the World Government … Hohohoho."
"Since our people have been captured, we really can't sit back and do nothing, but are we the only ones going?"
Ficheux Erman, Laffitte, and others arrived on the coast of Cake Island.
There is a medium-sized sailboat docked here.
For a team at the level of the Ghost Hand Pirates, the size and artillery of the ship, and even the speed of the ship, are of little significance.
Once there is an enemy ship in the area of sight, Ross can easily manipulate the current and pursue it at a speed far faster than all ships.
"Five people are enough."
Ross calmly replied to Ficheux Erman, then motioned to Laffitte to come and study the sea map, describing the specific situation to Laffitte.
Laffitte's current level of navigation is much higher than Ross's, and he soon narrowed the sea area marked by Ross again.
"If the base of the Scientific Force Base can move, the sea area will be larger, but even if this kind of base can move, it will not be very fast. It is still possible to find it with this sea as the center."
Laffitte marked on the sea map with a pen.
Ross took a closer look at Laffitte's reduced sea area. A small half of this sea area is in the Calm Belt, while the other part is in the second half of the Grand Line, the edge of New World.
"What if we narrow the scope to inside the Calm Belt?"
Ross suddenly said.
Laffitte was about to say that the Calm Belt could be excluded, but when he heard Ross's words, he suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.
It's not impossible.
The Calm Belt was the home of the Sea Kings, and there were countless giant Sea Kings there. Those that were too large could even be compared to Elephant Lord Zuo Wu. Even someone at the level of the Three Calamities General Stars could be instantly killed with a single swipe of their noses. There was no need to explain the danger.
But because of its danger, perhaps the Scientific Force Base has some way to build in the Calm Belt. After all, Seastone is embedded in the bottom of the Battleship to deceive the Sea King's perception, which was developed by the Scientific Force Base.
"If that's the case, the scope is even smaller."
Laffitte thought about the response.
Ross nodded and glanced at the people present and said, "Without further ado, let's go and find the secret base of the Scientific Force Base."
Including Ross, there are five people on board.
Ross, Robin, Trafalgar Law, Laffitte, and Ficheux Erman, and apart from these five people, there are only some toys that obey orders.
Today's Totto Landsea has established a rough governance system. Even if Ross is not there, there will be no major hindrance, not to mention Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain, and Hajrudin.
The method to transform the Cursed Blade Murasame into 'Zanpakuto', Ross is determined to get it!
…
The group quietly left Cake Island and Totto Landsea and sailed to the edge of the Grand Line, near the Calm Belt.
Because this time they were traveling lightly on a medium-sized sailboat, and only Laffitte and other four people followed them, plus Ross and Robin usually live in the Sky Island Birka, they did not alarm any forces, even the World Government's Eyes did not notice Ross's actions.
A few days later.
With Ross manipulating the current at full speed, the ship sailed across the New World and reached the edge of the New World, near the Calm Belt.
The two seas of the Calm Belt and the Grand Line can be described as distinct. On one side, the current is turbulent and the sea breeze is whistling, while on the other side, the sea is calm and there is no wind and no waves.
It's like two staggered trains, with a clear boundary.
"Calm Belt …"
"Boss Ross, are we really going in?"
Ficheux Erman seems to have some bad memories of the Calm Belt. Looking at the Calm Belt ahead, his mouth twitched slightly, showing an expression that he didn't want to go in.
Ross is not afraid of the super-giant Sea King, which is comparable to the size of an island, but he is a little scared. With a tail, the range is comparable to an island. Even with his speed, he may not be able to avoid it.
"Ho ho ho, you seem a little scared."
Laffitte stood aside and laughed, showing an expression that saw through Ficheux Erman's mentality.
Ficheux Erman's eyes twitched and he retorted, "Are you kidding me? It's just a Calm Belt, it's just a little bigger Sea King."
Ross was too lazy to pay attention to Ficheux Erman. He stood at the forefront of the deck, stepped on the guardrail, manipulated the current below with the power of distortion, and rushed forward with the sailboat, so head-on into the Calm Belt.
Before he escaped from Impel Down, the Calm Belt did pose a threat to him, but now he is not afraid of the Sea King the size of an island.
Hualala!
Almost as soon as the ship broke into the Calm Belt and sailed for less than a few kilometers, he saw a Sea King with a length of hundreds of meters poking its head out and looking at Ross's ship.
This Sea King can only be regarded as a small Sea King. After staring at the sailboat for a few seconds, it regarded the sailboat as a snack, opened its mouth with several rows of teeth and tore down.
But.
Almost at this moment, a majestic aura swept across the area.
"Get out."
Ross glanced at the Sea King indifferently and controlled the current to pass by it.
The Sea King was shocked by Ross's Haoshoku Haki. Although it did not faint, it also showed a humanized expression of fear, watching Ross's ship pass by and finally plunging into the sea and disappearing.
Ross's Haoshoku Haki can have an instant deterrent effect on small and medium-sized Sea Kings, but the effect on large Sea Kings is not obvious enough, not to mention the super-giant Sea Kings.
But.
As soon as he entered the Calm Belt, Ross entered the state of Spirit Heart, fully exerting his Observation Haki and inspiring the ability to predict the future.
Once a large Sea King or a super-giant Sea King attack ship appears, he can predict it seven seconds in advance and he can take the ship to avoid it or stop it.
Along the way, it can be said that there was no danger.
Although there are ridiculously large Sea Kings emerging from the sea from time to time, they have not been able to touch Ross's sailboat even a little bit.
However.
Ross controlled the ship and swept back and forth at a very fast speed around the marked sea area, but he did not see any islands or anything like that, let alone the existence of a ship.
"…"
Laffitte stood in front of the table covered with the sea map, his face showing thought and contemplation.
Trafalgar Law sat down with the Demon Blade on his shoulder and said, "It took us a few days to get here. If that base moves, it may not be in this sea anymore."
"Vivre Card doesn't work and we don't know the direction of the base's movement. The search range will be greatly increased. In this case, even if we are fast enough, it will be difficult to find it."
Laffitte said with some difficulty.
Just then, Ross came over from the side, glanced at the sea map and the mark made by Laffitte, and said, "What if it is underwater?"
Impel Down is built on the seabed of the Calm Belt, but part of it is exposed to the sea. There is no doubt that the government has the ability to build a building on the seabed of the Calm Belt.
"Underwater? It's not impossible … "
Laffitte tapped the ground with his wooden stick and tapped it a few times. "But in this case, we need to go underwater to find it. Even if Captain has the ability to take the ship into the water, it's too dangerous to go into the sea in a place like the Calm Belt."
All the people present are Devil Fruit users. If they go to the bottom of the sea, once they encounter any giant Sea King attack and are washed by the sea, they will all be finished.
If a Yonkō (Four Emperors) dies in the sea, it will probably become the biggest joke in hundreds of years.
"It's okay."
Ross's eyes flickered slightly and he said, "I'm not in danger alone. You go outside the Calm Belt and wait."
