Chapter 178 - 178: A Giant Rock Or??!!

No one expected that there was a gap within the flow of the water making their sh.i.p.s fly through the air before landing on the path that leads on the Grand Line...

Leon hurriedly turned to Leyla and yelled at her...

Leon : FREEZE!!!

Leyla didn't have to hear Leon as she directly jumped forward and used her Yin Yin No Mi to instantly burst with Black Ice and freezing everything around them while trapping all four of the sh.i.p.s...

This caused the sh.i.p.s to freeze in the air and blocking the crossroad completely before she landed on Luffy's ship which was Going Merry...

She looked at Luffy with a complicated expression as it turns out despite them delaying their trips to the Grand Line, Luffy and the rest explored every corner of East Blue...

As no one rushed them nor hunted them...

Zoro : It's you!!

Ussop : Waaawaaa, you are not scaring me!! I'm someone who has travelled the sea with 8000 subordinates...

Nami : If you are here....

Nami : Then my sister is here??

Luffy on the other hand, had a dumb look while leaning his head sideways trying to remember who she was...

However, before Leyla could answer them cracking sounds started resounding to everyone making their expressions change...

The raging water started breaking the ice and that would mean their doom...

Not wasting time, Leyla directly grabbed Luffy and yelled out...

Leyla : We will talk later!! Nami prepare your ship!!

Leyla : Leon, burn this side!!!

As soon as she called out, she turned to Luffy...

Leyla : Turn to a ballon and help your ship from crashing to the wall...

Leyla said it so fast that Luffy was still trying to understand what happened as a white wave of flames burned the ice of Going Marry...

Then Luffy extended his hand and landed on his ship leaving a giant block of black ice behind them...

Leon : Leyla uses your Ice to forcefully change the direction of the water when we are free and create a slide in front of us...

As not there was no ship in front of them to crash into, she did just that and Leon unfroze the Ice of the sh.i.p.s from the first one to the last in order to have leeway in turning...

This caused the sh.i.p.s to ride on a twisting slide helping them enter the right track...

As they kept travelling at immense speed downwards now, they started laughing while everyone then felt something was off as there was no light from the sun...

Leon's and Leyla's face changed...

It had completely slipped their minds...

And it was then they heard the sound of a cannon firing...

As they got closer and closer they heard Luffy's pissed voice and soon saw him from afar punching what seems to be a black rock but they knew better, that it was a whale...

OOOOOMMMM!!!!

A high pitch voice was heard as they saw the whale opening his mouth and swallowing gallons of waters while at the same time swallowing Going Marry...

However, it seems that the whale wasn't going to stop there as it saw them and was ready to swallow them as well...

However, before it could do so it was assaulted by numerous waves of Haki causing its eyes to shrink in fear as it closed its mouth and slowly backed away from the ship...
