[One Piece] Courage to Dream

Chapter [-]: The Pirate's Grave

After roughly drawing a map on the ground, Xiuya pointed to two areas, one vertical and one horizontal, and said:

"This is the red continent where we are, RedLine, and what is perpendicular to it is the most dangerous waterway in the world you are going to, the great seaway GrandLine."

"Hmm..." The children nodded, indicating that they were educated.

"The geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents of the great route are all chaotic, and it is called the 'grave of pirates'. All islands are self-contained, and previous navigation skills and experience are unreliable. It is difficult to confirm your position. Needless to say looking for islands."

Xiuya looked at Nami, smiled and said: "Are you a navigator? A compass cannot find the correct direction on a great route with geomagnetic chaos."

"How could it be...?!" This is the first time Nami has heard of such a thing. The compass has always been an important tool for indicating direction in her navigation. "Then how to sail on the great route..."

"That's why the permanent pointer is needed. It is the only tool to reach the next island, and it will always point to the next island." Xiuya continued popular science.

"Permanent pointer..." Nami thought for a while and asked, "Where can I get this thing?"

"Well...there are also some for sale in the village, but it is more difficult to make, and there may not be any goods." Seeing the rough and terrified expressions of the children's paper, Xiuya comforted, "But maybe you are lucky. maybe."

"Also...you have to be careful." Then she returned to the map and pointed out two areas, "The two sides of the great route are windless belts. Not only is there no wind, but it is also the nest of sea kings. Your sailboats must not..."

"Xuya, come and be our companion!"

Luffy suddenly said something rude.

Not only Xiuya was stunned, but the children were also dumbfounded.

This...where is it?

Xiuya considered it over and over again, and said unsurely: "... Companion?"

"Well," Luffy showed his signature smile, because there are few detours in his mind, so he can always see the point at a glance, "And... don't you want to go too, the great route?"

"Indeed...I..." Xiuya was slightly taken aback by seeing his will, and then quickly recovered his composure. After a short silence, he said without any hesitation, "But, I won't go."

"Why?! When talking about the great route, you are obviously very happy..."

Luffy was puzzled.

"Because the village needs me, I have to stay here." A smile appeared on Xiuya's face again, and she politely refused, "So... sorry."

"Is that so?" Luffy pretended to think about it, and said with a smile, "But I have already decided to have you as my companion~!"

Hey, does this guy listen to people... Xiuya still complained in his heart.

This Xiuya seems to know a lot about the great route, and his knowledge of geography is also very solid. For this Luffy soliciting behavior, Nami thinks it is still very meaningful.

"Hahaha..." Jyoti laughed dryly. She was deeply moved after witnessing Zoro being beaten into a boat.

Whoops, our captain is at it again...
