The sky, the wind and clouds changed abruptly.
The clear sky was replaced by heavy rain clouds.
Torrential rain poured down without warning.
The sea churned, waves crashing one after another.
"What is that? A giant wall? Why would there be a wall in the middle of the sea!"
Through the hazy mist, Kuina saw the towering Red Earth Continent wall, and her small mouth dropped open in surprise.
"That's the legendary Red Earth Continent that divides the world in two. To be honest, it's my first time seeing it too. They say if you cross Reverse Mountain, you can reach the Grand Line!"
Nami swallowed, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.
Even though she was used to the storms of the East Blue, crossing Reverse Mountain was also a first for her.
"A super continent that spans the entire planet? How tall is it? What's on it? It's really curious!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Thor's eyes.
"Roland~ Roland~ I want to go up and see!"
"Okay, go!"
Roland nodded in approval.
Thor bent her knees slightly, and the next second, her small body shot up like a cannonball, creating a large, clear hole through the heavy rain clouds.
"Whoa!"
Even Nami and Kuina, who knew Thor was very powerful, were once again greatly surprised.
"Hey, hey, Roland-ge, just how powerful is Thor...?"
Kuina murmured curiously.
"Hmm, I can't really say. All you need to know is one thing: no matter how powerful an enemy you provoke, Thor can help you deal with them!"
Roland said seriously.
How strong is Thor at full power?
Roland didn't know that either.
In the Draconic Maid world, Thor once said she could easily destroy the Earth, but there was no actual demonstration.
However, her actual performance of easily fighting from the sky to the deep magma underground with another dragon, Elma, was real.
The Four Emperors, the highest combat power of the sea, were not a big problem for Thor.
The only thing to be wary of was the World Government's hidden secret weapons.
Easily wiping out a country, creating irreparable large holes in the sea, and at the same time causing worldwide earthquakes, raising the sea level by one meter... This level of magnitude is no joke.
And this was only Vegapunk's technological product. Even Roland, as a transmigrator, didn't know what the even more mysterious Uranus was.
"Girls, hold on tight, we're entering the Reverse Mountain canal!"
Roland gripped the rudder, making slight adjustments to the direction.
Never Empty Army crushed through the surging waves, accurately sailing into the gap in the Red Earth Continent wall.
Propelled by the Reverse Mountain climbing canal, the ship accelerated towards the summit.
This strange sight left both Nami and Kuina wide-eyed in astonishment.
Five minutes later.
Never Empty Army broke through the storm clouds and reached the summit of Reverse Mountain.
Suddenly, the sky brightened.
"So beautiful~~~"
Nami stood at the highest point of Reverse Mountain, gazing at the boundless sea, her beautiful eyes filled with enchantment.
"Everyone, I'm back~"
Thor, who had circled the Red Earth Continent, descended from the sky and was caught by Roland in a princess carry.
Although she didn't land directly on the deck, the powerful force of a dragon falling still impacted the ship.
The next moment.
Never Empty Army's bow tilted downwards.
It began to accelerate downwards like a roller coaster.
"Whoa ah ah ah!"
The girls' excited cries instantly became incessant.
The vibrant laughter added a touch of color to Twin Capes.
It also attracted the attention of the old man, Laboon, who was lying on a chair on the shore, reading the news.
However, before the flower-like old man, the sea surface of Twin Capes suddenly churned violently.
A small mountain suddenly rose from the sea, and seawater continuously surged. A scarred whale appeared before Luo Lin's group.
It was none other than Laboon, the island whale, who had been waiting for the Rumba Pirates for fifty years.
"Whoa, the legend is actually true! The first obstacle people encounter in the Grand Line after crossing Reverse Mountain really is a whale as huge as a mountain!"
Nami cried out in surprise.
"Th-th-this… This seems a bit bad, are we going to be eaten?"
Kuina swallowed hard, not without nervousness.
However, the next second, she remembered Roland's recent assessment of Thor's strength.
Her heart immediately settled down again.
"Wow, what a big whale! I wonder what it tastes like?"
Thor's eyes lit up, eager to try.
Roland: "…"
"Wait."
Before Roland could stop her, an aged voice came first.
Hearing Thor wanted to eat Laboon, the flower-like old man by the lighthouse couldn't sit still.
As the former Pirate King's ship doctor, Crocus's discerning eye was naturally extraordinary.
He could see the unusualness of Luo Lin's group of four, especially Thor's hidden aura.
"Laboon, don't be rude, quickly retreat!"
Crocus reprimanded.
"Giao~"
Laboon cried out once, obediently retreating.
It wouldn't do not to obey, after all, the dragon's might on Thor was truly terrifying.
"Oh, old man, is this whale yours? This is too cool!"
Nami asked in surprise.
"No, Laboon… This is a slightly long story, would you like to hear it?"
Crocus asked.
Although Luo Lin's group's aura was terrifying, Crocus could also see that they were not utterly evil individuals.
If they could know the story of Laboon, they should not hold onto Laboon anymore.
"Then let's hear it for now!"
Roland steered the ship, docking it ashore.
"That was about fifty years ago…"
Crocus showed a look of reminiscence and began to recount Laboon's past with the Rumbar Pirates.
As a transmigrator, Roland was naturally well aware of this, so after listening for a while, he started chatting with Thor.
He originally wanted to ask Thor about her experiences on the Red Earth Continent, as Roland had never seen the Red Earth Continent himself, only knowing that on the other side of Reverse Mountain was Holy Land Mary Geoise.
However, even Roland didn't expect that this conversation would lead to a 'royal flush'.
"What? Thor, you blew up Holy Land Mary Geoise?"
