Chapter Eighty-Seven: Idiots
The Great Voyage is the most dangerous cave in the world, and the losers who retreat from the Great Voyage are like leaving their souls there, leaving only a stinky skin and living like a walking corpse.
The greatest enemy is the unreasonable weather, followed by the endless stream of giant sea beasts, and finally the ugly cannibalism between humans.
Even the best ship can't sail on this sea forever, and humans are not fish, so what can they rely on to move forward after losing their boat?
By swimming.
Although it is a refreshing fact, those who can really swim through this sea area by swimming are all crazy people.
Right now, such a madman is cutting through the waves like a torpedo, galloping through the sea at a speed comparable to that of a fish-man!
The figure of the man wearing only a crotch cloth did not twist in the slightest, and the muscles that had exceeded common sense almost made people ignore the objective fact that he was not wearing clothes.
Carrying an exaggerated giant axe, he can still move forward at such a terrifying speed, which is really amazing. On the contrary, the iron mask on his cheek did not match his resolute and wild style, but if you look closely, the mask is not worn, but deeply sunk into the man's face!
Although maiming and being tortured in battles between pirates were commonplace, the thought of the red iron mask was so stiffly buckled on the face of the human......
The colorless iron mask was already attached to the man's bones, and there was no possibility of taking it off!
He galloped on the surface of the sea like a dragon in the sea, after all, he was still a human and needed to rest. Slashing and slaying the sea beasts, drinking their blood and eating their flesh, resting on the corpses that floated on the surface of the sea, he began his journey again, knowing no pain.
His eyes were red under the mask, and there was nothing but madness in those eyes, and he followed the information he had been given to him and set out on this course, abandoning his slow ship and moving with his astonishing strength. In addition to stopping to eat and replenish his strength, he has been moving like this for four days without sleep.
“EAAAAAAA——!!”
He let out a roar that was not human, and that roar was full of resentment, anger, fear, and murderous intent against someone, and the beast's instinct told him that he was almost there, and that he was about to find it!
Before you burn this life to the ground, you must solve that nightmare with your own hands!
“LAAAAAA——!!”

How to get to Sky Island?
Yes!
As if asking about common sense, the person who responded responded was rather sarcastic and maliciously.
It's so simple, it's almost universally known.
As long as you take the boat and ride the monster current that rises from the sea, then it will naturally follow the current to the empty island.
That is, a malicious fact.
"Sky islands" exist.
The recording pointer does not lie, so the pointer that leads to the sky must have the legendary "empty island" of this generation. At least, the pirates who have just arrived on this great voyage are convinced of this fantastic island. The navigation diaries handed down by previous navigators also contain information about the island. Even researchers from the world government have come to this neighborhood to study the so-called "empty islands".
In the waters around Gaya Island, such a spectacle often occurs. One moment it was still sunny, and the next moment it turned into a dark night where you couldn't see your fingers, and there were often dark shadows of monsters that covered the clouds, making people more and more in awe of this demonic sea.
Eventually, government researchers came to this conclusion after doing a survey.
"Custard."
Great waterways are formed by accumulation at high altitudes, and no matter how thick they are, they do not produce air currents and do not rain clouds. Thick clouds that block all sunlight, so daylight is too thick to penetrate, often causing "day" to turn into "night". A common name for seeing the sea of clouds from the ground, it is a fossil of clouds.
It is a matter of course that people have such a result as they are often seen.
"On top of that cloud fossil, there must be an empty island!"
In this era, pirates who chase adventure and romance are convinced of the existence of Sky Island.
So the question arises - how exactly can humans reach an altitude of more than 10,000 meters?
This was the first challenge for the pirates of this era, and when the enthusiasm gradually faded, the humans who could not fly began to doubt the "sky island" above 10,000 meters.
"Rushing currents."
With this incredible current being discovered, someone made a crazy offer.
"What if...... Our boat rides the current to the sky, and then it is possible to reach the "Cumulus Cloud"! ”
Pirates who are carried away by adventure and romance really do it!
In the midst of countless onlookers, in the temptation, they watched those pirate ships, except for a few unlucky guys who were torn apart by the rising current, and the other guys all successfully rode the rising current.
The people began to shout and cheer, and at this moment, they gave up their hostile identity, pride and prejudice, just for the heartfelt joy and admiration of the lucky one who was the first to arrive on the Sky Island!
There are so many monkeys, but only the guy who jumped out of the stone has the courage to walk through the waterfall and open the hole!
The cheers lasted for more than ten minutes, and soon, the sound was quieter, and the pirates who witnessed this group of forerunners also watched them fall from the sky and crash down from a height of 10,000 meters...... Shattered to pieces......
Two years have passed since then, and every month there are stupid people who are not afraid of death who are willing to take the group of idiots who trust him to ride the current...... Not surprisingly, it became debris on the surface of the sea......
There are still people who do such a needless challenge, why? Because that's a "dream", that's a "man's romance"!
Such an endless stream of idiots have naturally become garbage on the surface of the sea!
Thanks to this, a new profession of fishing for wrecks is growing smoothly in this sea, because there is an endless amount of money to be made in this industry, because every day there are so-called "dreamers" who add a wreckage to their family business.
When the idiots cooled down that muscular brain and started thinking with that paltry IQ, they faced the second and final challenge.
"Does Sky Island really exist? Is the "Cumulus Cloud" really just a cloud? There is actually nothing at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and it is natural that a boat riding the current will fall down! ”
The most terrifying force in the world is not the removal of mountains and seas, but the "fear" of people themselves, and the unknown is undoubtedly the vanguard of fear. The atmosphere of fear spread from one to the other, and they did not have the courage to verify it in person, let alone make efforts to investigate, but they began to spread their fearful wishful thinking to everyone.
Obviously, as a pirate who lives and dies day and night, he will be afraid, he will be afraid, and he will be afraid, and I don't know if it is shameful? Is it ridiculous?
The greatest "virtue" of human beings is that it is absolutely impossible to admit their own ignorance, they have neither tried nor made the effort to investigate, and they begin to angrily attack those who want to give their lives or efforts for this, laughing at their "dreams".
Ryuzaki Kazuaki, who didn't think so much, was confident that he had obtained the information, although the person who gave him this information was just hoping that this stupid young man would be sent to his death as soon as possible, so that he could salvage the wreckage of their ship at sea.
When she heard the news of 10,000 meters in the air, Shirley's little face turned pale, and when she heard the ethereal empty island, reason was telling the little girl that only an idiot would ride the sky-high current! Are you kidding? Playing with your life for the sake of a legend? This is not on the sea and land, if you encounter any danger and can still adapt to it, it is 10,000 meters above the sky! If you fall down, you will die thoroughly!
She had apparently forgotten that there were quite a few idiots who would do that...... The little girl, who had been dull for a moment, quickly remembered something, and looked at her captain with a desperate gaze of disbelief, and the young man smiled as if he had heard something interesting.
Wren pointed to the sky with some interest and said.
"Let's go."
"Okay!"
"Whew~~!"
