Chapter 101: Entering the Grand Line! (Third Update, Begging for Flowers)

Li Xiao stood at the bow of the ship,

gazing into the distance at Reverse Mountain.

Regarding the matter of deceiving the ship's owners in Karp's name just now,

Li Xiao felt absolutely no guilt in his heart!

The ship borrowed by Li Xiao, a subordinate of Karp,

what does it have to do with me, the cultivator Li Xiao?

Furthermore,

Karp hasn't even been held accountable yet for blowing up his own ship at the East Blue G-16 Branch!

Let's just consider it settled for now!

The ship Li Xiao snatched from Arlong

was far larger than this small sailboat.

Calculated this way,

he actually lost out!

…………

Loguetown is not far from Reverse Mountain.

After sailing for not long,

the two arrived at Reverse Mountain.

Looking at the current flowing upstream before them,

with its turbulent waters,

Li Xiao could not help but marvel at nature's uncanny craftsmanship!

Because the ocean currents of the four seas—East, West, South, and North—are too powerful,

powerful enough to make the water overcome gravity and flow upward,

Reverse Mountain was formed!

Reverse Mountain is, besides the Calm Belt,

the only entrance to the Grand Line,

and also the starting point of the Grand Line!

The Grand Line is a ring-shaped ocean area intersecting vertically with the Red Line,

dividing the entire world into four seas: East, West, South, and North.

Since both sides of the Grand Line are Calm Belts,

therefore,

the Grand Line can be said to be a one-way street!

Once entered,

if one wishes to return within the four seas,

aside from reaching Laugh Tale,

one must either cross the Red Line,

or traverse the Calm Belt!

As the endpoint of the Grand Line,

only Roger's Pirate Crew has ever reached Laugh Tale;

this method can basically be ignored!

As for the remaining two...

for pirates,

the former is naturally out of the question,

and the latter is not a simple matter either!

Countless massive, long-lived Sea Kings survive within the Calm Belt.

To traverse the Calm Belt,

aside from using certain special means,

one can only rely on one's own sufficiently powerful strength to force a way through!

Then the only option is to rely on one's own sufficiently powerful strength to force a way through!

with Li Xiao's current strength,

traversing the Calm Belt is not a difficult matter!

If he does not take a ship,

but instead chooses to fly by sword,

Li Xiao walking within the Calm Belt would be just like strolling through his own backyard!

The reason for taking Reverse Mountain

is mainly that Li Xiao wants to see this magical place!

Cultivation, cultivation,

requires not only "cultivating,"

but the key is also "traveling"!

If it is merely for checking in to claim the reward,

If it were merely for the check-in reward,

"Every place Li Xiao arrives at,

if he could simply set foot on the ground,

check in and then immediately turn and leave,
