One Piece – Thundergod Marine

Chapter 62 On Way…

Marine Headquarters, Enies Lobby, and Impel Down form a triangular area on the sea. The ocean current flowing inside the big triangle will be trapped inside, becoming a huge deformed vortex and no ship would be able to escape from it.

On weekdays, the ocean currents are controlled by the three large Justice Gates. Once opened, the sea-water that bursts out can allow the Battleship to travel at the highest speed, back and forth within an hour.

At the same time, because the ocean currents on both sides of the door are reverse vortices caused by vortices, the ship cannot move forward, so only through the Gate of Justice can the correct ocean currents be used to reach the destination.

For pirates and criminals, if they entered the triangle maelstrom then their lives have basically come to an end.

Every single Recruit present here knows about this. The Battleship they took arrived at the Gate of Justice and every Recruit witnessed the white and over a kilometer high gate and their knowledge didn’t seem that impressive!

“Vice-Admiral Momonga, are you in charge of this Hellisland trial? Thank you for your hard work!”

The speaker is Impel Down’s Chief Magellan, he is the user of Paramecia Doku Doku no Mi (Venom-Venom Fruit), and he is a Poison Human.

From Marine Headquarters, their first stop was Impel Down.

He is a huge person standing at least five meters tall, he is wearing a black director uniform and have long horns and a terrifying appearance, he looks very much like a Satan from Hell.

Because he is a Poison Man, even the breath he exhales is poisonous, so his subordinates dare not get too close to him. Even visitors must wear gas masks in advance before meeting him.

As a result, Momonga was not ready to disembark the ship at all and was standing on the deck at a distance and checking the information with Deputy Director Hannyabal.

This is just a passing process…… After all, so far, no one is bold enough to impersonate Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral and advance deep into the Impel Down. After all, if something went wrong and the Gates of Justice was closed then they wouldn’t be able to leave the place.

“Yeah! Vice-Admiral Yamakaji will have some Missions and he would be temporarily going to the sea, so I switched the order with him.”

Momonga replied slowly and then he looked across the long wooden bridge and examined the huge and majestic building in front of him and said, “How’s is it? The prisoners have been behaving lately, haven’t they?”

“They won’t dare to do anything with me here!”

Magellan smiled, and a thick purple smoke came out of his body. As soon as the smoke came out, the surrounding prison Wardens suddenly looked nervous and moved away from Magellan.

Seeing this, Hannyabal screamed: Chief Warden! You finally can’t resist revealing your true ambition to make a move on your subordinates?”

Under the silent gaze of a group of people, Hannyabal drew out his weapon and said: “Then…hurry up and do it! That way I can become the Chief Warden!”

Other Wardens: “…”

Vice-Warden, you wish we were killed, right?!!

Magellan’s face turned dark, and he glared at Hannyabal with Killing Intent in his eyes: “Shut up, you idiot!”

Hannyabal ran behind Momonga and shouted unwillingly: “Vice-Admiral Momonga, look at that! Chief Warden Magellan is going to kill him!”

Momonga: “…”

Boom!

Kicking him off the ship, Momonga’s twitching mouth eased up and he saluted Magellan: “My mission does not permit me to stay longer, I’ll go first.”

“Hehe, take care of yourself, Vice Admiral Momonga!”

Magellan smiled and held Hannyabal screaming and wailing in one hand, and gestured back to Momonga.

Their destination, the Hell Island, is still far from here, and the reason they came to Impel Down was to save time. If they directly entered the Calm Belt from Marine Headquarters and sail straight away then it would have taken them three to five days to finish their journey.

But by going through Impel Down that extends into the Calm Belt through the triangular maelstrom, half a day would be enough to complete their journey.

When the Battleship passes through the Gate of Justice, the Gate of Justice is immediately closed behind them. The endless sea-water roared and made a muffled sound, hitting the Gate of Justice.

But in the face of the towering Gate of Justice, the seawater could only change the course in vain and bring a natural defensive ocean current to the Gate of Justice.

“What do you think of Chief Warden Magellan?” Suddenly, Momonga asked Rowen who had passed by him.

“What about him?” Rowen tilted his head with a confused expression on his face.

“The Devil horns on his head looked like an ornament, but in fact, it is his weapon…”

Okay!

So you remember “I’m afraid of Devils and Ghosts”…

Rowen looked dazed.

But sticking the weapon as an ornament on his head, like a hairpin, this level of dedication… Rowen touched his head as he thought of something.

He can’t learn it!

“Attention everyone, Assemble on the Deck!!”

Smiling, Momonga turned around and gave orders.

Soon, all the Recruits and ordinary soldiers who were going to the Hell Island to train came to the deck and waited for Momonga’s orders.

“We have entered the Calm Belt now! I believe everyone knows something about the Calm Belt! Remember, this is a dangerous place where Marines can’t interfere! It is a nest where large Sea Kings gather! If you don’t want to die then all of you need to be vigilant! Understand?”

“Yes!!”

“Very good! Disband, work and rest strictly according to the schedule, don’t go and become lazy!”

“Understood!”

Once again, Rowen’s expression turned serious as he hailed and responded in unison.

Indeed, this is the Calm Belt.

He didn’t even realize when it started but the ocean currents became still and static, and there was no breeze in the sky. The white flag representing Justice hung down on the mast, like a dying salted fish.

Here, even the Marine Battleship is not safe and it is inlaid with Seastone flakes that are attached to the bottom of the Battleship which gives out an aura of sea. This is an absolutely dangerous area.

…

Half a month later, Rowen, who was cleaning the deck, was awakened by an exclamation.

“Land, I see the land!!”

Immediately, a large number of soldiers came to the deck and looked far away.

“It’s true! There is land now!”

“Great! I finally don’t have to worry about getting a good night’s sleep!”

Everyone was cheering, and even the calm Momonga couldn’t help but breathe out a sigh of relief.

“We are finally here!”

For the past half month, everyone’s spirit is strained to death, fearing that oversight will lead to irreparable consequences.

Because there is no air current in the Calm Belt, the ocean is almost stopped, so there is no need to worry about climate change, like sudden Snow and Rainstorm. But those Sea Kings who live in this sea bring are more terrifying than unpredictable weather!

Rowen clearly remembered the Monster that rose from the surface of the sea that night after they have been at the Calm Belt sea for a week.

It was a giant Sea King like a snake-necked Dragon. According to the Sea King book, it was named Sea King Star. It was a mammal and vegetarian. It seemed to have woken up in the middle of the night and want out of the sea for breathing.

The Battleship at that time was just on its back, and the moment it floated, the Battleship was directly lifted into the sky!

At that time, the clouds were not that far away from them and they were almost within their reach!

What was even more frightening is that judging by the completely long neck that blocked the moonlight, that guy’s head was probably thousands of meters high!

Such a terrifying behemoth, just its breathing will stir the wind and change the formations of clouds!

Some soldiers faced this scene and fell into madness in despair, and wanted to fire their guns, but fortunately, they were stopped by Vice-Admiral Momonga. Afterward, the Sea King Star finished breathing and sank down slowly and the Battleship also touched the sea in the process.

Vice-Admiral Momonga immediately went ahead and ordered to go forward with full speed without saying another word!

After running for hundreds of miles overnight, everyone looked back and saw that Sea King Star’s long neck pierced through the clouds and looked straight at the sky. Under the cool moonlight, the Sea King Star wrapped in white scales looked like a beautiful mythical beast!

It is conceivable that the Sea King Star under the moonlight left a deep impression that the people on this ship will not forget for a lifetime!

“Fortunately it didn’t notice us, otherwise…”

Vice-Admiral Momonga chanted this sentence for a full week.

In front of the huge Sea King Star, let alone this Battleship, even the entire Marineford would be nothing more than a toy!

“Finally there is land!”

Rowen is also genuinely relieved at this moment, and like the others, lying on the ship’s rail to look into the distance.

However, as the distance got closer and closer, the pleasant cheers of the surroundings slowly died down, replaced by bursts of cold breath and frightened murmurs.

Rowen slapped his forehead as he looked at the Hell Island that showed his true appearance ahead.

Yes, finding land does not mean that they have come to Heaven from Hell. It only means that they have stepped from one hell to another.
