Chapter 54: Permanent Pointers
Sea water and ocean currents may rarely occur in the real world, and it can be called an astronomical wonder, but it is not surprising that such things have been seen in the pirate world.
Isis also learned a lot and nodded thoughtfully. Qin Shou was listening to the story as a story, listening with relish.
"Although the approximate time for the Liverest countercurrent is from July to September, it is not certain that day. I am lucky and happened to be back when I return. If I am not lucky, I can wait for a month. However, the number of countercurrents is only seven or eight times in the past two months. Only this time is the safest time to return to the East China Sea." Gaelmore said to Qin Shou, Isis and Qisara.
The elderly like to tell stories to the younger generation, which can highlight their rich experience. This is not to show off, but to have such a habit among older people. This is true for both Galemore and Kurokas.
After Gaelmore finished speaking, Kurokas followed closely and said: "There are only caravans running back and forth on the great route and the blue sea every year that most people know about this. So when they know that the sea water is countercurrent, they can only take risks to break through the windless belt. It is good that they can break through the sea water, but if they are weak, they will become those delicacies of Daxing Sea Kings."
"So that's it~ If we want to continue along the great route, will there be a fixed route like Twin Cape?" Qin Shou asked again.
After all, Kurokas has been on the ship of One Piece Roger, so he is still very experienced in this area, and he is very happy to answer Qin Shou's questions.
"No one speaks, and any fixed route is incorrect, because it is just the direction of moving according to the recording pointer. If you have a permanent pointer, you can jump from an island on one route to another. You don't have to worry about getting lost. You should know that the permanent pointer is not disturbed by the magnetic field of the other islands, and it will always point to a certain island." Kurokas explained.
As we all know, in the great routes, weather, currents, etc. do not change according to common sense, and the permanent pointer will always point to an island and will never change. Therefore, the importance of this permanent pointer in the sailing can be imagined!
So Kurokas followed closely and said, "So, permanent pointers are not easy to obtain. Its production requires special production techniques and principles. I can do ordinary record indicators, but I can't make permanent pointers."
As soon as Kurokas finished speaking, Hans's voice rang behind everyone's back.
"The permanent pointer you mentioned won't refer to this, right?" Hans said to everyone.
Hearing this, Qin Shou and others immediately turned their heads to look at Hans's hand, and saw that he was holding something very exquisitely crafted and like an hourglass. However, what is different from the hourglass is that the four pillars in the middle support a suspended magnetic pointer.
Although it looks very old, it is definitely a permanent pointer.
"Oh, Boss Hans, you even have this thing. You are worthy of being the richest businessman in the East China Sea." Qin Shou joked at Hans.
Hans looked bad and smiled bitterly, "Sir Qin, don't laugh at me... This permanent pointer was also obtained by me on the sea. This is a permanent pointer pointing to Alabastan."
"Alabastan, is it one of the ancient civilization countries? I'm interested, I'm planning to go to this country." Qin Shou said to himself and said with a smile.
At this time, Hans put the permanent pointer pointing to Alabastan in front of Qin Shou and said, "I will give you this permanent pointer by Lord Qin. In addition, I will give you the devil fruit that I promised to pay this time..."
Hans's face was a little pale, and even the fool could tell that he was thinking. Moreover, the merchant was very concerned about money and valuable things, and before he reached his destination, he took the initiative to give the reward to Qin Shou. Is the sun going to hit the west?
Qin Shou smiled, took the permanent pointer from Hans and said, "Boss Hans, what are you stimulating tonight? You feel a little weird, but I won't refuse your kindness, I will accept this permanent pointer. You know I don't like to talk nonsense, say ~ What do you want me to do for you again?"
Hans then spoke bitterly and said, "My right eye kept twitching this afternoon... My years of intuition tells me that something bad will happen next, so I hope you can protect me and the safety of my cargo on board."
"As the saying goes, the left eye twitches, the right eye twitches. Boss Hans, which eye is twitching, are you constantly jumping?" Qin Shou asked quipped.
Who is a businessman still doesn't understand this truth? Hans shook his head and said bitterly: "Right eye... I'm worried that the Pig Pirates will come to take revenge in the morning."
Seeing Hans's worried look, Gailmore, who was standing up there, couldn't stand it and said, "I said... don't worry too much. Since Lord Qin said he would protect us, there would be no problem. The dangers of so many years have come, what are you still worried about?"
"That's right...but my eyes were too fierce today, so I..." Hans's worried face did not retreat at all.
"I think you're too tired and need a rest, right? I think you'll sleep on the boat before talking about it." Gaelmore said to Hans.
Hans nodded slightly when he heard this, feeling that there was something that might have not had a good rest on the sea these days. So Hans returned to the boat to rest. Seeing Hans leaving, even Galemore couldn't help saying: "The richer the person is, the more worried he is. But despite this, he still runs on the great route and the East China Sea for huge profits. The essence of the merchant cannot be changed. But then again, the reward Hans gave you this time is actually the devil fruit? It seems that the goods are very important to him!"
Qin Shou was more or less surprised when he heard Gaelmore's words, turned around and looked at him and said, "Why... you don't know about this? Are you not Hans's subordinate?"
