Take the door to save the world
Chapter 16
At night, Sachiko sat in front of the table, gently stroking a long piece of paper placed on the table.
Mr. Urahara had taught her for a week, marking all the information he knew about the Outer Land on a piece of paper.
Sachiko carefully stuck the three pieces of paper together with the map of the Inner Land that she had drawn. Mr. Urahara had also added some new markings on it. Together, they formed a complete map.
Perhaps, it wasn't so complete.
Mr. Urahara said that the world was actually much bigger than they imagined, and there were still many places that needed to be explored.
Sachiko remembered that the teachers at school had said that if one kept walking along a line, one day, they would return to the starting point.
This was because the place they lived in was a huge sphere.
Although they couldn't feel it, it was because it was too big.
The Red Line divided the sphere into two hemispheres. The Inner Land was on one side, and the Outer Land was on the other.
This was a more general way of saying it.
In fact, the Inner Land only took up a small part of this hemisphere. The rest was mostly the sea and territory of the Outer Land. It was also a place that the people from the Inner Land didn't dare to set foot in.
"If you keep going north, you will reach the North Pole. There are beautiful auroras there. Legend has it that foxes live in caves in the North Pole. They are not afraid of the cold of the North Pole, and their fur shines brightly under the sun. Their footprints can be found everywhere in the snow of the North Pole. When they walk gracefully to the top of the mountain closest to the sun, their tails will sweep up the snowflakes on the top of the mountain. They will spread the snowflakes all the way to the sky, refracting the colorful and unpredictable lights. This is the origin of the aurora borealis."
Mr. Urahara didn't hold back at all when he told the story. He looked at Sachiko, who had a longing look on her face, and said in a bewitching tone, "Sassafras, do you want to go to such a place?"
"Of course!" Sachiko answered without hesitation.
Mr. Urahara smiled and said, "How does your book describe the Wurdau Continent?"
"It's rarely mentioned.
I only know that there are two countries on this continent, "Sachiko said." Busa and Bash. I heard from my father that these two countries are very mysterious and almost never engage in foreign trade. "
"I was fortunate enough to go there once."
Urahara looked out of the window and reminisced, "The scenery inside was really amazing. I'll never forget that scene for the rest of my life.
In the center of the continent stood a huge pyramid.
Do you know what a pyramid is?
It was a tower made entirely of gold. There were no stones or adhesives added to it. It was just layers upon layers of gold. It was taller than the shopping mall in your house.
Because of the ownership of this pyramid, the two countries had been constantly fighting for thousands of years.
However, for thousands of years, no one has been able to take the gold out of the pyramid. It is as if it is made by nature, and no one can destroy its integrity. "
"I've been to a country before. It's a country on a small island in the Outer Land. It's also very unique. It's called Loha Island. There's only one color of flowers on the small island. From the outside, the entire island is white. They call themselves the White Islanders …"
Sachiko had been listening to Mr. Urahara's lessons for a week. She was excited by Mr. Urahara's stories. Every night, she would look at the map from beginning to end before going to bed.
I want to go … I want to go so much …
Sachiko looked at the map on the table. Her eyes were burning. Her hands were tightly gripping the blank area of the cardboard. She didn't feel it even though she had poked a big hole in it.
I just want to take a look … just one look …
Sachiko's eyes looked at the door. Her eyes were full of struggle.
But what if I can't go back?
What if I'm in danger?
Will I be able to escape in time?
Sachiko told herself countless times in her heart about every possible dangerous situation. However, her hand had already unconsciously turned on her phone and started to search for "Travel Essentials List".
After all, Sachiko was only a sixteen-year-old child.
For the past sixteen years, she only went back home and school every day. She rarely went out.
Ever since the kidnapping incident, her mother basically didn't let her go out.
Every time she came back from the holidays, she would look at her classmates and friends with envy. They would share with her all kinds of interesting things that happened during their travels. She could only learn about this world from the Internet or from other people.
Sachiko knew that her parents were really worried about her. She didn't think it was wrong at all. However, sometimes, Sachiko felt very sad.
She also wanted to go out. The land she stepped on wasn't the land of an empty city. The air she breathed wasn't the air of an empty city. She could walk freely on the streets, buy whatever she saw, and chat with strangers freely. She didn't have to follow a big group of people every time she went out.
She had been thinking about this matter for a very, very long time.
And now, there was a great opportunity in front of her.
As long as she quietly brought water, food, and clothes, she didn't need to bring too much. She could put everything in her bag. She could take the map and gently push open the door. Then she could reach the place she wanted to go.
She didn't need too much time. One or two hours was enough. As long as there was a door in that place, she could come back.
As long as there was a door.
Sachiko tossed and turned in bed thinking about this matter. She couldn't sleep for a long time.
She was very confused. She didn't know if this was the right thing to do. She needed to find someone to guide her.
"Oh, Sachiko is here!"
Luffy punched the oncoming bomb, "Wait a minute, let's escape from the hands of these Marines!"
"Sachiko San ~ ~" Sanji floated over with his whirlwind kick. Suddenly, he jumped up and kicked away a bomb. Looking at the bomb exploding in the distance, he gracefully landed on one knee on the ground. He looked up with an idiotic and infatuated face, "I miss you so much ~"
"Do you need my help?"
Sachiko hid behind the door and looked at the flying bombs outside. She trembled and asked, "I … I can still hit a few people …"
She was still not used to this situation … She was scared just looking at it …
"Sassafras!
Go in!
This time it's the Marines! "
Nami's metal rod was crackling with electricity. She saw Sachiko's expression and quickly shouted, "It's not good if they take a picture of you!
You'll be wanted by them!
Go in!!
Don't show your head! "
"I … I know." Sachiko shrank her neck. She opened the door a little and carefully observed the situation outside.
The battle ended with Frange throwing a huge bomb at the Marines' ship.
The ship's sail and mast were severely damaged. It was no longer able to sail. The Straw Hats took advantage of the fact that the Marines were putting out the fire to save the ship. They rowed together and left the Marines' sight.
Sachiko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Great, they didn't get caught.
