Chapter 414 Titan Island
"That's Titan Island. The warship can get a little closer. You can watch from a distance. You can't get too close to that island, or the warship won't be able to get out.
You should have also seen the wreckage of ships in the water wall at the edge of the island. Those were left by ships that came too close and were pulled in by the island.
The strong pulling force of the island is so strong that the sailboat cannot resist it. No matter the pirates or the navy will pay attention to the island.
Because it is difficult for humans to survive on that island, you can just look at it from a distance. It's a pity that it's broad daylight now. If you come here at night, you can see a very nice view of the island!"
Garp waved to the navigator as he spoke, then continued to fold his hands over his chest and stare at the sea with the red sky.
After listening to Garp's explanation, Vic finally understood why his observation Haki was pulled. This island pulled all the people and objects that approached it. Ships that came too close would be sucked in and crashed. Even the sea water was pulled into large and small water walls. This island was indeed somewhat dangerous.
This island should be quite famous in the New World, and Garp knew it like the back of his hand. Vic guessed that Garp must have been to this island, but it was unknown why he didn't elaborate.
He was now very curious about what the landscape was that even a knowledgeable person like the old man could recognize. Fortunately, the navigator had received the old man's instructions and was commanding the warships to approach that sea area. It would not be long before they could see it.
"Vic! Is there an island over there? Is it a glowing island?"
As soon as Vic and Cap finished their conversation, Rebecca came over.
Because the island is still quite far from the warship and the sea is an arc, the distant island cannot be seen at present.
Although Rebecca had awakened her dual-color domineering aura, it was still in the initial stage and she could not sense that far. When she heard there was a view to see, she naturally became excited and even forgot about Vic's teasing towards her.
"You just stare blankly every day. I told you to practice hard but you didn't take it seriously. Now you know that you can't even keep up with the heat when you eat your poop!
There is indeed an island there, but it is very strange. Even my Observation Haki can restrain it. My Observation Haki cannot fully explore it. You just need to watch from a distance. Don't go exploring rashly. We will have a chance to go to the island later!"
Rebecca's practice was very hard compared to other people in this world, but it was still far behind Vic, so Vic could only keep urging her to move forward.
Because the results of her practice will only benefit herself. Only when she is strong can she be truly strong. Even tigers take naps. Vic doesn't think he is invincible and can always protect Rebecca.
Just like Whitebeard and Garp were unable to protect Ace, no matter what the reason, the result was that Ace died in front of the two of them!
The navy system is like wearing invisible shackles. Vic could certainly disobey orders or even rebel against the navy for Rebecca's safety, but he was afraid that even if he did that, it would be difficult to reverse the situation. So Vic hoped that Rebecca would become strong enough to face any challenge.
"You're the one who wants to eat poop! Eat ten pounds! No, one hundred pounds! I'm afraid you won't be full! Tonight I'll send all your rabbits to the kitchen and cook them into food! I'll let you play with rabbits every day! Humph!"
Although Rebecca understood what was said in her heart, she still refused to accept it. After she finished speaking, she grabbed the rabbit that was enjoying itself from Vic's arms, then turned her head and stopped looking at Vic.
Although her head turned away, her hands did not stop moving. She rubbed the innocent rabbit into various shapes. It was obvious that she had some personal grudge against the rabbit. Her series of actions made Wendy and others beside her laugh.
While a few people were chatting, the warship had already sailed a long distance, and a small black dot appeared in front of it. The area above the dot was no longer red, but a gradient green. The warship did not stop and continued to sail, obviously not yet reaching the range where it could not withstand the pulling force.
As the warship approached, the outline of the island became clearer, and just as Vic had sensed with his observation Haki, there were many walls of water surrounding the island.
The outer edge of the island is covered with grass and trees, and some animals are swimming around. It looks no different from an ordinary island, except for the center of the island which looks a little different.
There is a black mountain that protrudes from the island with a huge difference in surface level. It reflects a sub-metallic luster. At first glance, this mountain is unusual, as if it can absorb light. There is no grass or tree growing on the mountain, and no animals move on it.
This black mountain covers a large area. The diameter of the foot of the mountain is half of the island. A faint red light is reflected on the top of the mountain, and the space above ripples in all directions like waves. This structure is quite rare even in this pirate world full of islands.
At this time, the warship had removed its sails and slowly stopped, and the navigator was ordering people to drop the anchor.
Vic could clearly feel the pulling force. His hair and clothes were already fluttering towards the island. It wasn't just him. Everyone on the boat was like this, except those who had no hair or clothes.
This situation was not caused by the sea breeze. Vic was very clear about this. If some unlucky person came to this sea area and the wind direction was consistent with the pulling force of the island, they would probably ride the wind directly to the island.
What most likely awaits them is the destruction of the ship and the death of everyone on board. The ship wreckage on the edge of the island is most likely from this place. It is really easy to get caught without knowing it!
Because the distance between the warship and the island is already very far, the pulling force of the island can be felt here. If it moves forward any further, even the warship will probably lose control and will rush towards the island.
"This island is really deceptive. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary island, an island where you can dock for supplies. But by the time you realize something is wrong, it's probably too late. It's hard to escape! This island eats people!"
Vic sighed. This island is like a whirlpool in the sea. Once you are caught in it, it is difficult to get out. Unless you are a strong man like Rayleigh who can cross the sea by swimming, their physical strength may be able to offset the pulling force of the island and swim out.
But they can only swim out by themselves, and they have to give up large objects like boats. Vic is now very curious about how the animals on the island survive. Is there no pulling force once they are on the island?
