In a certain section of the Cupola Current, the Merry overcame the gravitational pull of the earth to climb upwards because of the inertia and the strong thrust of the current. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wow, we're up!" Luffy shouted excitedly, completely unable to calm down.

Sanji silently glanced directly above and said to Nami, "Miss Nami, it's not good, we can't get to the top if we go on like this." ”

Nami's eyes moved, and she felt her surroundings carefully, "I know! I'll find a way in ...... right away."

A large black shadow swept over the Merry's head, making a freefall motion downward. It's the hapless sea kings they've seen before, swept into the whirlpool.

"We have to hurry, or we'll be like that soon!" Sanji's brow furrowed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nami spoke: "Sail now!"

"Huh?" A group of people froze for a moment, and the corners of Nami's eyes twitched, and she scolded: "Do it for the old lady first!

"Haha......" Luo Xiu laughed lightly, patted the deck below, and said a little loudly: "Nami, you explain to them, the sail is handed over to me." After saying that, the ability was activated, and the sails rolled up by the Merry instantly unfolded and were full!

Then the Merry, which slowly broke away from the water column, flew up!

"It's amazing! We're really flying!Nami, what the hell is going on?" Luffy asked excitedly.

"It's the wind! This column of water is not a column of water like an ordinary fountain, but a [current] that rushes into the sky! And this wind is an updraft of steam and geothermal heat that erupts from the bottom of the sea! If it is the wind and the current, I have a way! Who do you think the navigator of this ship is?!" Nami smiled confidently.

Caused a crowd to scream and cheer, "It's Nami!"

The Merry burst into the clouds, and they were surrounded by a sudden feeling of suffocation. Luo Xiu calmly held his breath and opened his inner breath. There aren't too many elements in Kukai that disgust demons, and the restraint of the capable is not as strong as that of the sea.

Fortunately, the feeling of suffocation lasted less than a minute, and the Merry broke through the clouds and landed steadily on a white sea of clouds.

"Everyone, be careful!" Guina, who had not spoken since the beginning, spoke up: "There are enemies nearby!"

Because of Guina's warning, the rest of the people also became vigilant, calmed down, and turned on to see and hear domineering. Sure enough, a ship hundreds of meters away from them was emitting smoke and blazing. Another agile figure moved quickly in the sea of clouds, approaching. Luo Xiu and Robin had already sensed that there was another person coming farther away.

The person moving through the sea of clouds quickly reached the range that could be caught by the eye, a man who was wearing very little and a strange horn mask. In his hand was an apparently weapon, shaped like a cannon.

"It's not good. Sanji looked contemptuous, but secretly he was already on guard. The previous experience of being almost killed by Kulik because of the light enemy made him more careful.

"It seems that we don't have to be polite. Sauron gestured with his sword drawn.

The strange masked man was getting closer and closer, and just as they were about to start fighting, Luo Xiu suddenly spoke: "You shouldn't be able to use your strength now." ”

"Huh?" The few people who were going to do it were puzzled for a moment, and then they realized that what Luo Xiu said was true.

"What's going on?!" Luffy sat down: "Feel...... I can't make ...... force."

The masked guy didn't care if they had the strength or not, he stepped on a small device like a roller skate and glided all the way from the sea of clouds, and after approaching the Merry, he made a high jump, and the cannon in his hand was aimed at Luffy, completely intending to take advantage of him and kill him.

"Oops, don't get so excited. Are you, a warrior of Sandia?" Rosho suddenly appeared in front of the cannon, quickly and lightly pushing the muzzle into the sky.

Hearing Luo Xiu shout out his identity, the masked monster stopped, the killing intent suddenly dissipated a lot, and a deep voice sounded from behind the mask: "You, who are you?"

"We are the ones who came up from below. Luo Xiu pointed to the clouds: "From the island of Gaya, I came up by the sky-rushing current." ”

"Gaya Island?!!...... the masked man suddenly became excited, hung his weapon behind him, and grabbed Luo Xiu's shoulder with one free hand. An old man who had rushed over to do business happened to see this scene, so he shouted:

"That's it!"

Then the gun came out like a dragon! The masked man whispered a "tsk", and the shield in his other hand rose up, blocking the spear, but his hand did not let go of Luo Xiu.

"Don't get in the way!" the masked man roared, throwing his shield at Gan Fore. The free hand immediately picked up the barrel on his back, and still had no intention of letting go of Luo Xiu.

With a shot sweeping away the flying shield, Gan Fort looked at his "old friend" in surprise. In normal times, after he appeared, Weber would have retreated and left. Why is he so belligerent today? With doubts, his gun was a little slower. Weber did not miss this fleeting opportunity, and it was a shot at Gan Fuer.

Hit, then explode. Through the smoke of the explosion, Weber grabbed Luo Xiu and flashed. Luo Xiu's mind turned, he didn't struggle, and shouted at Luffy: "Don't worry, let's talk about the details later, let's meet in the skeleton's right eye......"

Luo Xiu's voice gradually faded away, and Luffy and the others finally stood up.

"Sister Robin, does it matter if he wants it, master?" asked Robin with some concern. The others also looked at Robin, wondering why Robin hadn't stopped him just now.

"He has his own plans. Robin smiled and said, "And didn't you pay attention to what he just said?"

"The skeleton's right eye? gold!" Nami immediately remembered what Luo Xiu had said, "I saw gold in the skeleton's right eye", and her eyes suddenly sparkled with gold!

"Nami, before we do that, let's ask this old knight about the Sky Island. Robin reminded.

Only then did everyone turn their attention to Gan Fuer, who had been standing for a long time, and Luffy, as the captain, was the first to ask, "Old man, is this an empty island?"

"This is the lowest level of the Sky Island, the White Sea. Although Gan Fuer was a little strange why they were so calm when they were taken away, it was someone else's business, and he couldn't care about it: "You are from Qinghai?"

"Qinghai people, sorry, this is the first time I've heard that name. What do you call it, uncle?" Nami actively communicated with Ganful, of course, for the sake of gold.

"I'm the Sky Knight Gan Fore, a mercenary. As for the Qinghai people, that's what we call those who live under the clouds. Looks like you're from Qinghai?"

"Well, yes. Luffy affirmed.

"Then you have to be careful. It is 7,000 meters higher than Qinghai, and the air is thinner and the air pressure is lower. The Baibai Sea in the upper layer is as high as 10,000 meters! After some Qinghai people arrive here, they will experience varying degrees of dizziness, dizziness, and weakness in their limbs, and some people will even die suddenly. It seems that you can all move freely, and I don't think you are ordinary people in Qinghai. ”

"Huh......" Sanji exhaled a breath of steam: "Uncle Knight, do you know how to get to the nearest island? ”

"I wonder why that guy was able to run on the water!" Chopper held up his hooves.

"I'm interested in that cannon, you know...... sir," Usopp came up.

Gan Fuer hurriedly waved his hand: "Slow...... Wait a minute, I know you have a lot of questions, but before answering them, I hope you will discuss the issue of remuneration with me. ”

"Reward?" Speaking of money, it's Nami, the treasurer of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Exactly. As I should have mentioned, I am a mercenary, and while I help you, I also have to receive a certain amount of remuneration - after all, I have to live. I know that none of you are ordinary people, but here, because you are not familiar with [air combat], it is probably difficult to show your strength. Just now, those guerrillas will also wait for an opportunity to ambush, and if they are not careful, they will be killed in the belly of the fish. ”

"I see, I see. Nami nodded, in an unfamiliar environment, it was indeed necessary to accept this kind of service, so she asked a few questions: "I don't know uncle, do you accept Bailey?

"Uh...... Don't you know?" Gan Fuer asked with some confusion: "Didn't you come all the way from the top of the western sky?

"......" Nami's face suddenly darkened a little: "Uncle, listen to you, we Qinghai people want to come to the empty island, and there is more than one way, right?"

"It's hard, do you say...... You didn't think you came up on that monster current?!" Gan Fore's eyes widened, and then he said with admiration from the bottom of his heart, "I really didn't expect that someone would come to Sky Island through this road today!

"I knew it wasn't an ordinary route...... Nami couldn't hold back tears. Although all of them survived, the process was so difficult that Nami really felt exhausted.

"If it had been a different route, I don't know how many people would have been able to get here. But those who came here through the monster currents were either safe or annihilated! It seems that you must have a great navigator and great courage. Gan Fore sighed and took out a whistle from his armor:

"The currency of the Qinghai people is called Bailey. The currency of the Sky Island is called Axtol. The exchange ratio between the two is one to 10,000. 1 Bailey can be exchanged for 10,000 Axtol. This whistle is there to inform me. As long as you are on the empty island and blow it, I will come as soon as possible. Five million Axtol at a time, that is, five hundred Baileys. ”

Thank you so much. I'll take this whistle!" Nami took the whistle, thought for a moment, looked difficult, and took out a 10 Bailey from her pocket: "This is 10 Bailey, let's take it as the money we paid for this whistle." Thank you also for this information. ”

"Oh, then you're welcome! Thou art generous, pretty little girl, and I wish you a pleasant journey. With that, Gan Fore got on his mount and flew away.

Ah, by the way, his mount is also a Devil Fruit Avatar, or a Flip Bird? It's a pink bird with black spots that can turn into a Pegasus. However, the pink Pegasus with black spots looks and feels quite subtle.

"As a result, we still don't know how to go up. Robin said with a smile.

……

On the other side, Luo Xiu, who was captured by Weber, was taken all the way to a village hidden in the clouds.

Webber casually threw Luo Xiu to the ground, took off his mask, and revealed a fierce face: "Hey, tell me exactly what you know, about Gaya Island and Sandia!"
