Chapter 70 The Origin of the Fruit
Because William, as a new navigator, was not familiar with the treasure-hiding location, the Red Beard Pirates could only rely on Barbarossa's memory to explore the voyage, which delayed them for several more days. By the time they landed on the island, the treasure on it had already been emptied by Sherlock and others.
Facing the empty cave, a group of pirates were cold and their treasures were not only Barbarossa's own, but also theirs.
All of these wealth were achieved by them fighting at sea for many years and fighting for their lives. Even though they colluded with the Navy and Arcadio, they lived much more comfortably than other pirates, each of these treasures was still stained with the blood and sweat of all the crew members of the Red Beard Pirates.
Barbarossa put his waist on his hips, looked up slightly, looking at the top of the cave, wondering what he was thinking. Although the Red Beard Pirates were panicked, no crew member dared to disturb him. After all, the fate of the last unlucky crew member who disturbed him was still fresh in everyone else.
After a long time, Barbarossa seemed to come back to his senses and said calmly: "Stort, come here."
After William, who was on the outside, came to his side, Barbarossa said, "We are going to Wufeng Band!"
William was stunned. In order to make sure he heard it correctly, he asked back: "Are you saying we are going to Wufeng Belt?"
The surroundings were close to each other, and the pirates who heard Barbarossa's orders were also a little disturbed. But Barbarossa glanced at him and they calmed down.
It is normal for William and other pirates to have objections. In order to learn navigation knowledge, William read many books. In these books, whenever he mentioned the world's geographical environment, he would mention the windless belt without exception. All the descriptions of the windless belt can be summarized in four words - extremely dangerous.
This area is a real ocean cemetery.
The geography of this world is very strange. The Red Clay Continent and the Great Passage flatten the entire world into four sea areas: east, south, west and north. These two lines surrounding the planet divide the connection between the four sea areas. Among them, the great passes can play a role in dividing the sea areas, largely because of the lack of wind belts.
William was not a scholar in his past life or present life, and he was not interested in delving into how the world's strange geography was formed. He only knew that two windless belts tightly surrounded the great route, and there was no wind in this sea for many years. This is fatal to ships that are still in the sailing era, and the most dangerous one is not the end. Because of its special geographical location, there are countless marine monsters living in this sea area. For these monsters called "Sea Kings" by people in this world, the huge sailboats may be just exquisite toys in their eyes.
So anyone who has heard the description here can imagine its danger.
It can be imagined that a sailboat that has lost power is in a sea where there is no village or shop, no supply points and no boundaries, rowing hard with hunger, and sailing towards the unknown end in despair. Under the sea, there are still many giant beasts staring at the ship.
Food, supplies and threats from Neptune are all factors that can easily destroy the Pirates.
The Red Beard Pirates are one of the best pirate forces in the East China Sea, but it is tantamount to commit suicide by daring to enter Wufeng Belt. William knows this, and Barbarossa should also know it.
"It's to go near the windless belt." Barbarossa added after looking at William, "We want to get the devil fruit, just go there."
Devil Fruit!
William's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but he looked puzzled: "Devil Fruit? Does this thing really exist? Does it grow in the windless belt?"
"I don't know where this thing grows, but in the East China Sea, only the windless belt is the most likely to touch it." Barbarossa said.
William frowned, still a little confused.
Barbarossa was a little irritated. Although what he wanted to go to was near the windless belt, it was not much safer than inside the windless belt. Even if the sea kings living under the sea occasionally crossed the windless belt, it was a disaster to wander around the surrounding waters. Because of this, people were rarely visited near the windless belt. Except for some savages, there were few places where civilizations gathered and lacked supply points, which was a great test for voyages.
Barbarossa knew that he needed the help of the sailors to safely go to the uninhabited wind belt. Therefore, although he was impatient, he felt William's hesitation and confusion and explained: "In the world, every moment, pirates fantasize about entering the great route and becoming successful..."
Barbarossa let out a low laugh, as if mocking the pirates' overestimation: "At the same time, on the great route, every moment, there are pirates who want to escape from this pirate cemetery."
One Piece Roger's treasure attracted countless pirates to flow into the great route. Among them are tough characters who do not hit the wall and do not look back, but there are also many people who soon regret it after some impulse.
Not to mention, the Navy headquarters is located on the great route, and the world government's attention is mostly focused on the great route. The naval power of the great route is stronger than the navy in the southeast, west, north and west, and pirates are not a group of mind. Pirates entering the great route not only have to face the encirclement of the navy, but also have to worry about the fire of other pirates.
For pirates who were scared by the terrifying environment of the Great Road, passing through the windless belt and returning to the "peaceful and stable" world is not an unimaginable idea, especially for a pirate group that has been lucky and gained valuable wealth on the Great Road.
For example..., a pirate group that lucky enough to obtain the devil fruit.
A small fruit is worth 100 million Baileys, and this is the lowest price. Few people will be so stupid that they really sell the fruit at this price. In the Sihai, where devil fruits are even more rare, in the eyes of most people, the price of the devil fruit that has only appeared in legends will soar to an exaggeration.
"This season is the time when the Aquaman is least active. If there are some lucky bastards who can escape the great route through the windless belt, then it must be at this time," Barbarossa grinned, "and they will definitely choose the East China Sea!"
William nodded slowly and added: "Because the East China Sea is the weakest sea area, everyone knows that the pirate group that can enter the great route has no weak brigades. Even if they escape from the great route, they still have overwhelming strength in the face of their companions in the East China Sea and even the navy!"
