'So that's how it was?'
"I thought you had to do it yourself."
Robin understood Cyrus's aning.
"It's just that there was no one to help , so I had to do it myself."
"That's true. Besides ordering around, you don't have anyone else to use right now."
Robin looked at the small boat under her feet, then thought about how it was just the two of them on board, and nodded helplessly.
"So we'll find more people later. I can't be expected to handle everything myself. That would be too much trouble." Cyrus said, turning to look at Robin.
"We're going back to the East Blue next."
"The East Blue? You ca from the East Blue, right? But what are we going back for?"
Robin now knew that Cyrus had traveled from the East Blue to the West Blue, and then to the North Blue.
Speaking of which, the only sea he hadn't been to was the South Blue.
"To deliver sothing to an acquaintance." Cyrus replied, then glanced at a small box among the items placed in a corner of the boat.
"Then how do we get there? To go back to the East Blue, we have to go through Reverse Mountain, right?"
Hearing Cyrus say he was delivering sothing, Robin didn't ask further.
Instead, she looked up at the cliff that was so high its top was almost invisible.
"Naturally, we'll cross over Reverse Mountain."
Robin: ...
'Easier said than done.'
"Sa thod as before. Pack up our things, then abandon the ship." Cyrus said.
Robin instantly understood what Cyrus ant.
During the battle with Kizaru, their ship had been destroyed, and Cyrus had used his ability to fly with her for a long distance before they found an inhabited island.
So, he was going to use his ability to fly over the Red Line now?
"This won't be easy!"
Robin reminded him as she packed their things.
"It's fine, I'm confident. But, I say, isn't the intersection of the Red Line and the Grand Line on this side the residence of the Celestial Dragons?" Cyrus suddenly asked, stroking his chin.
"Yes, the other intersection is Reverse Mountain, also known as Reverse Mountain. This intersection is the Holy Land, Mary Geoise."
Robin's head snapped up upon hearing this.
"You're not planning on going there, are you?" Robin swallowed hard.
As the residence of the Celestial Dragons, the security there must be extrely tight, and there would surely be many powerful individuals.
"No, not right now!"
Cyrus waved his hand.
"That's for the best. Otherwise, I'd have to consider getting off the ship."
Robin looked at Cyrus with a speechless expression.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear that." Cyrus shot out a palm strike.
Smack!
Robin swung her hand back, blocking the slap just before it hit her shapely rear.
"I'm done packing!"
Robin gave Cyrus a sidelong glance, then held their few belongings in her arms.
"Then let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Cyrus wrapped an arm around Robin's waist and leaped up.
Flas erupted beneath his feet, and then the flas exploded.
The boat below them was blown to pieces in the fiery blast, and the two figures, accompanied by the blaze, shot straight up along the steep Red Line.
The Germa Kingdom's Den Den Mushi Battleships would later cross the Red Line from the North Blue to wage war in the East Blue.
And it took them several months to make the crossing.
But Cyrus and Robin, aided by his ability, saw the top of the Red Line in just over half an hour.
Boom!
Flas shot into the sky as Cyrus hovered high in the air.
In his arms, Robin pressed down her fluttering long hair and turned to curiously examine the Red Line.
Not many people on this sea knew what the top of the Red Line looked like, let alone had seen it with their own eyes.
According to records, only the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, was inhabited on top of the Red Line.
Now that she saw the situation, Robin understood.
At the top, there were still red rocks and steep peaks.
There wasn't a single trace of green.
It was like a red, desolate land.
"It seems plants can't grow here!"
Robin guessed, her tone sowhat surprised.
"It's definitely not all like this. There might be so places where plants can grow, but it's just too high here, higher than the clouds!"
Cyrus looked down at the layer of clouds they had long since passed through.
The Red Line was like an extrely high red wall, splitting the planet in two.
No matter how you looked at it, this thing didn't seem to be naturally ford.
Of course, this thought only crossed Cyrus's mind, and he had no intention of delving deeper into it.
"Even if there's a water source, it's too high here."
Robin also understood that although the Red Line was vast, it was indeed unsuitable for human survival.
"Let's go!"
Cyrus changed direction and skimd over the top of the Red Line.
Flying horizontally was certainly easier than the straight ascent just now, but the energy consumption was nothing to Cyrus.
Robin used her ability to firmly secure herself to Cyrus, then turned her head to seriously watch the scenery flashing by below.
Clearly, Robin was very curious about the Red Line.
But Cyrus had no intention of slowing down to let her see clearly.
His speed didn't decrease; instead, it got faster and faster.
Known as a continent, this massive red wall that bisected the planet was naturally extrely wide.
But Cyrus's speed was not slow.
...
Several hours later, they had already reached the other side of the Red Line.
Of course, this speed was to accommodate Robin.
If it were just Cyrus himself, his speed could continuously increase.
But with Robin's current physical condition, she couldn't withstand Cyrus's continuous acceleration.
"We won't need a ship anymore!"
Having reached the other side of the Red Line, Robin looked down at the blue expanse between the clouds and spoke.
"Are you using as a mode of transport?"
Cyrus's mouth twitched at her words.
"This is really fast," Robin said earnestly, her arms wrapped around Cyrus's neck.
"Still no, even though holding you is very comfortable!"
"Alright, I was really looking forward to it!"
Robin sighed, seemingly a little disappointed.
Then, the flas beneath Cyrus's feet abruptly vanished, and the two, who had been floating in the air, went into a freefall.
The sudden thrill made Robin scream subconsciously.
Seeing his prank succeed, Cyrus reignited the flas beneath his feet, and the two descended toward the sea below.
...
World Economic Journal Headquarters.
Morgans, the president, who always maintained his bird form, looked at the piles of docunts before him.
"President, it's all here. From his first appearance capturing pirates in the East Blue, to spending about a year in Frost Moon Village in the East Blue, and then setting out to sea again. He's very strong, but it seems he doesn't intend to beco a pirate. We've investigated and found that the Navy Hero Garp has contacted him, more than once, but he didn't join the Navy either."
His beautiful secretary, dressed in a form-fitting uniform, reported diligently.
Morgans' wing-like hand stroked his beak, a shrewd glint flashing in his eyes.
"But President, is it really necessary for us to pay so much attention to him?" the secretary asked in confusion after finishing her report.
There were so many powerful people on the seas, with all sorts of big news happening every day.
Although this person was formidable, he didn't seem to warrant this level of attention, did he?
Hearing his secretary's words, Morgans pulled out two docunts.
"Because he also fought two other people. Although they weren't life-or-death battles, it's enough to show his strength. This person is already one of the top-tier powerhouses on the sea."
