Chapter 151 - 151: Soaring Into the Sky with the Updraft Current! The appearance of the Imperial Cumulus made the Dream team both nervous and excited. Everyone started getting busy, checking if everything on the Dream ship was secure. They certainly didn't want to fall from the sky. "Hey!" "Ryuen, the Imperial Cumulus showed up earlier than we expected, but the position of the updraft current still isn't determined!" "You need to figure something out!" Nami said anxiously, looking at the vast Imperial Cumulus ahead. Imperial Cumulus "The position of the current?" "I got it. Let me ask them if they know." Ryuen replied seriously. Then he communicated with the flock of birds that had followed him, and they immediately scattered to hover over various parts of the sea, chirping and calling out. "Ryuen, what are they doing?" Anya asked curiously. "They're calling out to the fish in the water, trying to pinpoint the location of the updraft current. Asking the fish is the easiest way." Ryuen answered right away. The Dream ship was slowly moving toward the center of the Imperial Cumulus, and everyone watched as the birds continued communicating with the fish in the sea. A rush of excitement and tension made their adrenaline spike. A few minutes later, all the birds flew back. They circled around Ryuen, and then shared the information they had gathered from the fish. Bird 1: "There's a huge creature at the 9 o'clock position, probably a large sea king!" Bird 2: "Confirmed, there's a large updraft current at the 12 o'clock position!" Bird 3: "Yes, and it's an updraft current coming from below!" Bird 4: "At the 10 o'clock position, there are waves going against the current direction. It could be a giant whirlpool!" ... The birds relayed the information they had gathered to Ryuen, who then shared it with everyone. When Ryuen repeated what Bird 4 had said, Nami immediately spoke up, "That's it! Turn the rudder to the 10 o'clock position. That's the sign of an incoming sea current!" "Got it!" Hog quickly turned the rudder, and the Going Merry swiftly headed toward the 10 o'clock position. "Na... Nami, that's a giant whirlpool! Are we really going to charge straight into it?" Leah asked, her voice trembling with fear. The others also looked worried. If the Going Merry got caught in the whirlpool's force, there would be no way to steer it back by human strength alone. "Hehe~" "Everyone, who's the navigator on this ship?" Nami asked, her lips curling into a confident smile. "It's Nami!" everyone answered without hesitation. "Then trust me! We're heading straight for that giant whirlpool. No backing down!" Nami said with serious determination. "Oh!!!" Nami's words fired up the crew. Everyone quickly got into position, steering the Going Merry directly toward the massive whirlpool that was about to appear. By now, the ship had entered the sky covered by the Cumulus Clouds. The wind and waves grew stronger, and the sea became more turbulent. Some small Sea Kings were even swept onto the surface by the huge waves. "Everyone, pay attention!" "The waves are getting higher. This is a sign the whirlpool is forming. Keep the ship steady!" Nami shouted, directing the crew. "Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. The crew began running around the Dream Ship, some adjusting the sails, others helping Hog with the rudder... Then, thunder rumbled, and heavy rain began pouring from the sky. "Nami, how's the Log Pose?" Ryuen shouted. Nami glanced at the Log Pose on her wrist, then looked up at the Imperial Cumulus. Her expression turned serious. "The needle is pointing straight at those clouds. The wind is blowing in the same direction, and the clouds are moving toward the center of the whirlpool. There's no mistake—Skypiea must be above those clouds!" "So, we're really going to the sky, huh?" Ryuen looked up at the sky, his face filled with excitement. "Yes! We are!" Nami said firmly. "Yahoo~~~" "To the sky, to the sky! We're really going to the sky!" The crew on the Going Merry cheered loudly. "Idiots!" "Focus on steering the ship! We need to get into the whirlpool's path so the Going Merry can ride the upward sea current!" Nami scolded the crew, who were celebrating too early. "Yes, ma'am!" "Aye, Navigator!" The crew snapped back to attention and continued working. "It's... it's here! The giant whirlpool has appeared!" Anya shouted in shock. "So scary!" "This is amazing!" Kuina's face was full of excitement. The giant spiral! "We've successfully entered the path of the giant spiral!" Hog loudly and seriously reported. "Great!" "Now, keep the ship steady and don't change course!" Nami said, holding the ship's railing with trembling hands, trying to keep her excitement in check. "Got it!" Hog responded loudly. The *Dream Ship* smoothly entered the path of the giant spiral, instantly being swept into its powerful current, spiraling toward the center of the spiral. The sky grew darker, with thunder and lightning flashing, and a torrential downpour began. Giant sea creatures were thrown out of the water by the spiral. The mood on board began to shift to nervousness. The *Dream Ship* now seemed like it was about to be swallowed by the giant spiral. Even Nami was feeling it. The *Dream Ship*, following the spiral's path, quickly reached the center, where the spiral disappeared and the sea became calm. "Wh... what happened?" Daisy asked with difficulty. "What happened? Why did the spiral disappear?" Robin said, looking confused at the now-calm waters. "Such a huge spiral eye just disappeared... How is that possible?" Ryuen said in disbelief. Everyone else also looked confused. At that moment, Nami seemed to sense something and looked down at the sea, hearing the bubbling sound of countless air bubbles. "No, it's the sea bottom starting to erupt, so the spiral eye temporarily disappeared from beneath the water!" Nami said with a serious expression. The *Dream Ship* slowly began to rise as the rising seawater lifted it. Rising seawater! "Everyone, grab onto whatever you can!" Nami shouted immediately. After saying that, she quickly hugged Ryuen tightly. As the others looked on in confusion, a massive column of water shot up from the center of the spiral! "Boom!!!" "Boom!!" The soaring sea current! "Ah!!!" "There it is, the soaring sea current!" "Everyone, be careful!" On the *Dream Ship*, everyone was extremely excited. This was the adventure they had been waiting for! The magnificent soaring sea current! "This feeling is incredible!" Kuina shouted in excitement. At that moment, the bow of the *Dream Ship* suddenly lifted, like it was about to fall like the giant sea creatures that had been thrown out. "Hey!" "Nami, what should we do?" Nojiko asked in horror. Nami, holding Ryuen, looked up at the sky intently. After feeling the direction of the wind, she said calmly, "Raise the sails immediately and act fast. This is the sea, not an ordinary water spout, but a soaring sea current. The wind blowing up is caused by the underwater geothermal and steam explosion, creating an updraft. Since we're dealing with wind and water, I can navigate!" "Oh!!!" Everyone cheered in unison. "Quick, everyone, do as Nami says!" Ryuen shouted. "Got it!" "We're catching wind on the starboard side. Turn the helm to port and adjust the ship to match the current!" Nami ordered immediately. "On it!" "Nami!" Everyone sprang into action, quickly adjusting the sails and steering the ship. "Whoa... whoa!" "The ship... it's really flying!" "This is amazing... we're actually going to the sky!" Let's go!!! "To Skypiea, full speed ahead!!!" "Go! Dream Ship!" --- --- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
