"Sun Thief! Come back if you have the guts!"

Yian patted the side of the ship and shouted and cursed at the Pike Pirates who had been away, trying to start the taunt mode and let the guys turn back.

The consequence of this is that the Pike Pirates' ship runs faster

The sailors on the boat looked at each other and didn't understand what Yian meant. As a caravan, the pirates ran away and they were still eager for each other to run away. How could they ask the other party to come back instead?

Bill pulled Rayan from behind and shook his head, "Forget it, you won't come back if you call me. Don't look at the man Pixar being fat and thinking that he is really stupid. None of the people who can be the captain on the pirate ship are stupid. Since he has made up his mind to escape, he will not be able to be scolded by you and then turn back. Your duty is only to protect the ship and cargo, and there is no need to be too entangled with the pirates."

After Bill persuaded him, Yian had to give up in disappointment.

Seeing that his persuasion was effective, Bill finally smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is nothing on the great route, but the one you don't need the least is pirates. If you want to catch pirates, you will have opportunities in the future."

Because they crossed the Overturned Mountain while Rab was diving into the sea, the remaining eleven merchant ships arrived safely. However, because the mast of the flagship Ian and his friends were riding was damaged, all the ships of the caravan were docked on the shore of the lighthouse in Twin Cape, preparing to wait until the flagship repaired the mast before setting off on the road together.

It didn't take long to repair the mast, but it also needed to stay here for at least one afternoon, so Ian followed Bill to the shore.

"Old guy! Old guy, are you here? I'm here again!" There was a house next to the lighthouse on the shore. As soon as Bill got ashore, he shouted at the house, which made Ian stunned: Bill wouldn't be the old guy called him, he could be Colax, right?

Yian couldn't remember the name of this person, it seemed that he was called this. Yian only remembered that he was the lighthouse guardian in Twin Points. However, shouldn't this tower guardian live in Rab's belly?

As Bill shouted, the door of the house opened, and an old man in a short-sleeved shirt with a petal on his head walked out, with glasses on his nose. Who wasn't Colax? As soon as he came out, he was stunned when he saw Bill, and then he said hello: "Bill, are you here again with the fleet?"

"Yes! This is the last time!" Bill laughed and was very happy to see his old friend.

Ian walked up and asked Bill in a low voice, "Do you know this old man?"

"Of course!" Bill nodded and said, "As I go back and forth, I will naturally recognize you."

While Ian talked to Bill, he didn't notice that Colax stared at his hat for a while, and then suddenly asked Bill, "Who is this young man?"

"Oh! He is the most famous pirate hunter in the East China Sea now!" Bill quickly introduced: "He has captured the pirates with the highest bounty in the East China Sea. We are also lucky this time, so we asked him to be the caravan guard."

Colex nodded, without saying anything, moved a few chairs out and asked Yian and the others to sit down.

At this moment, a voice sounded carefully from behind and said, "Can I sit here too, take a rest?"

Ian looked back and found that it was Roland Gale. At this time, he did not have the kind of arrogant he had when he first boarded the ship? When he was attacked by Pike Pirates before, this guy had been hiding in the cabin and shivering, not daring to show his face. Now that he is finally safe, he dares to go ashore and breathe.

I think this experience of entering the great route is very exciting to this little noble who has never seen much of the outside world.

Ian ignored him, but Bill gave him a chair, poured him a glass of water, and let him sit aside and rest.

Colex and Bill chatted. They both said that they were the scenes when they met before. Older people liked this kind of memories. Ian listened on the side and suddenly asked Bill in confusion: "Bill, I heard that the great route can enter and not exit. Is this true?"

He had actually had a question for a long time. This time he came with the merchant ship. According to Bill's opinion, after they sold the goods, they had to buy them before returning to the East China Sea. According to the method of the delusion mountain, Yian had been trying to ask them how they would go back. This question had been held in his mind for a long time, and now he finally asked while Colex was also there.

"Can you get in or out? Who did you hear?" Bill asked in surprise.

"Isn't it?" said Yian: "I heard that on the great route, the climate currents are very chaotic. The only thing that can be believed is the record pointer, but the record pointer will only point to the next island. If you want to go back, it is impossible to follow the pointer and circle the great route for a week, right?"

In fact, what Ian said was only from his memories when he read comics before, and this was what Colax said in front of him, so Ian asked here, and actually wanted to hear how Colax answered it.

"You're wrong!" Bill grinned and said, "We are caravans and are not able to go deep into the Great Route. Our caravan destination is only the closest island to Twin Cape. There are seven such islands, which is the starting point of seven routes on the Great Route."

"Even if you don't walk far, why are you back?" Yian still frowned and said, "Temini Cape is not an island, so the record pointer cannot point here, right?"

Hearing Ian's question, Colex finally spoke. He pointed his thumb at the high lighthouse on the mountain range behind him, and took the conversation and said, "Young man, if you can really enter and not exit, what do you think the lighthouse set up at this end of Gemini Cape is for?"

"Aren't you guiding the ships that come down from the Upside-down Mountain?" Iando.

"Wrong, guiding the ships from the upside down mountain is only one purpose, and another purpose is to guide the ships returning from the starting island of Gemini!" Colex said: "Indeed, Gemini is not an island, so the recording pointer will not be affected to point to Gemini, but do you think people will be completely unable to navigate without recording pointer?"

"As long as the light of the lighthouse has not yet been extinguished, the ships of Gemini Point will not be lost on the sea!" Colex said: "This has been passed down hundreds of years ago. Human wisdom! In that era when people had not invented and recorded the pointer, navigators all moved forward with the guidance of the lighthouse."

Yian understood a little and nodded, but then asked, "Even if you can return to Twin Cape from the starting island, how can you get out? It's impossible to go without wind belt, right?"

"Indeed, caravans like us cannot walk without wind belts!" Bill said: "Windless belts are very dangerous. Even warships equipped with sea tower stones may not guarantee that they can pass through the wind belt smoothly every time, let alone ordinary merchant ships, but we have our own way!"

As he said this, Bill winked at Ian and asked, "Ian, what do you think are the reasons that affect the ocean tides?"

Yian thought for a while and said, "Climate, temperature, and geographical factors."

Bill shook his head and said, "You are talking about one of the factors, but you forgot the most important one!"

After saying that, he pointed at the sky.

Yian raised his head, looked at the sky with confusion, and said, "In the sky? You can't be talking about the rain and sun! I know, it's the moon!"

"Yes!" Bill nodded with a smile, "It's the moon. The tides of the sea are actually triggered by the gravitational force of the moon. If there is no moon, you will not see the surging waves of the sea, and you will only see the dead water surface."

Colex also spoke, "The water flow of the upside down mountains is not always like this. It actually flows countercurrently. Whenever the moon is full and the gravity of the moon reaches its maximum, the water flow of the upside down mountains will turn around, rushing straight up from the Twin Points, and then dividing it into four strands at the top of the mountain, flowing into four oceans respectively."

Yian's eyes widened when he heard this, and there was such a saying!?

This is something he didn't know at all. This real One Piece world is even more wonderful than what he knows.

Looking at Ian's face, Bill and Colex seemed to have gained a sense of satisfaction. People who don't know the great route or have only a slight understanding of this usually look surprised after hearing this. As the old man, this is the expression they like to see the most.

"The time for the upstream of the Cangshan Mountain is not very certain, but it is usually between the fifteenth and seventeenth of each month!" Bill explained to him: "At that time, the Cangshan Mountain will change from the entrance to the great route to the exit. Caravans like us who want to return will choose to come to Twin Cape at this time, waiting for the upstream to occur, and then return to the blue ocean."

"This is what most caravans who have traveled to and from great routes know!" Coleks said: "Some pirates who became monks halfway don't know this, or some people who have gone too deep into great routes can't return to Gemini Cape. If they want to leave the great route and return to the four seas, they will venture to break into the windless belt. It's okay if they are strong, they may really be able to break out. If they are weak, they will be buried in the mouths of large sea kings. Therefore, it is completely wrong to say that great routes can enter but not exit."

It is rare for Yian to help him answer these questions, so he listened with relish and asked another question by the way, saying, "On the great route, can you only take those seven fixed routes?"

"Not necessarily!" Colex said: "The so-called fixed route is inaccurate, because it is only the direction of moving forward based on the recorded pointer. In fact, as long as you have a permanent pointer, you can jump from an island on one route to another, because the permanent pointer is not disturbed by the magnetic field of the other islands, and it will always point to a certain island."

"Of course, it is not easy to make permanent pointers!" Bill continued: "It is said that very special production processes and principles are required. Colax can make ordinary recording pointers, but he cannot make permanent pointers! So generally speaking, permanent pointers are very precious. People with permanent pointers will carry them carefully and will not easily show them to others."

However, before the words were finished, a weak voice rang behind everyone: "The permanent pointer you are talking about cannot mean this, right?"

Yian and the others were all stunned. They turned their heads, but found that the sound was Roland Gale who had just arrived ashore. At this moment, he was holding an exquisitely crafted and hourglass-like thing in his hand, a round glass ball, fixed on the outside by a rack supported by four small pillars. Among the glass balls was a suspended magnetic pointer.

Although it looks old, it is definitely a permanent pointer, because on the wooden sign facing Ian and the others, you can see a few letters very vaguely. Ian carefully identified it for a while before he read it: "Aara Alabastan!?"
