As they sailed towards Reverse Mountain, they unexpectedly encountered the little girl Apis, who was being pursued by the Marine.
When the Marine saw the flag of the going merry, without any unnecessary words,
They immediately began pursuing Reno and the others.
Left with no choice, the going merry could only make an emergency escape in a certain direction.
After entering a certain sea area, Reno and the others found that the Marine had not followed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Yo-ho! We finally shook off those guys!!"
Looking back at the empty sea behind them.
Usopp shouted loudly, as if he had won a battle.
"It's over! It's over!!"
"We've entered the Calm Belt!!"
However, Usopp hadn't been happy for long before Nami shrieked loudly.
Her face also became extremely unnatural.
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Nami, what is the Calm Belt?"
Luffy, who had no concept of these three words yet, picked his nose and asked, tilting his head.
Nami rubbed her forehead.
What kind of ship had she boarded?
Next was Teacher Nami's science lesson.
When everyone learned that they could reach the Grand Line by passing through the Calm Belt...
They all jumped up with excitement.
Especially Luffy.
"Hey, do you guys even understand the main point?!"
Nami was on the verge of a breakdown.
That wasn't what she wanted to emphasize at all!
However, just as Nami's words fell.
The sea beneath the merry suddenly stirred.
"It's over!"
Nami's face changed dramatically; her worst fear had come true.
"Do you know why the Marine didn't continue their pursuit just now?"
"It's because this is the lair of the Sea Kings!!"
Nami was almost in tears.
In fact, she no longer needed to emphasize it.
As the seawater churned, one after another, colossal Sea Kings appeared.
Sea zebras, sea crocodiles... When they each poked out their giant heads and then squinted their small eyes at Luffy and the others...
Luffy and Usopp were so scared they quickly huddled together.
"This... this big??"
Even Zoro's mouth was wide open, his expression one of disbelief.
"Quick, Captain, first mate, quickly think of something, or else we'll become their lunch!"
Usopp's tears streamed down.
His snot flew everywhere.
Just a moment ago, he was still excited about shaking off the Marine.
Only a minute had passed, and the situation instantly reversed.
He had just set sail and hadn't even achieved his dream yet.
He truly didn't want to die.
"Yes, hurry up and think of a solution!"
Nami was like an ant on a hot pan.
Especially when she saw some Sea Kings looking at her.
The hairs on her entire body stood on end.
"Reno, can these two guys defeat them??"
Nami looked at Fire Thunder and Rapid Edge.
Up until now, she still didn't know their true strength.
Immediately, a group of people simultaneously cast hopeful glances at Reno.
"There shouldn't be any problem."
Reno said lightly.
Everyone immediately felt hope.
