Chapter Twenty-Seven: An Island in the Sky

Although the Vodka is no longer a small ship, the room space on the ship is not large, and it is difficult to accommodate the size of Urki, so Roach can only convert part of the cabin into his room to barely settle down.

The next day, all three of them slept until noon and got up, and at the urging of Roach, they came to the deck to meet and make a simple plan for the rest of the trip.

Spreading the map Harlan had given him to the ground, Rocky pointed to a corner of the map with a night pick.

"We're here now, it's only a hundred nautical miles away from Upside Down Mountain, and it's a relatively remote location, so what's next?"

Urki asked with some confusion, "Shouldn't you continue to drive in the direction of the new world?" ”

Luo Qi glanced at the two of them, his face became a little solemn, and he said what he had guessed after meeting Ace before.

Everyone was silent, indeed, if they continued to stay in this sea area, they were likely to encounter the game of Whitebeard, Blackbeard, and the Navy, and once they were involved, there was basically no possibility of survival.

"Why don't you go to my hometown, it's almost time." Urki spoke suddenly, his finger resting lightly on a small island on the map.

"Gaya Island?" The panda looked at the names of places on the map and said.

"No, it's on top of that, Sky Island." As soon as Urki's words fell, Rocky looked at him in surprise.

"Does it really exist? Legend has it that an island suspended in the air. ”

"Of course." Urki pointed to the wings behind him, "This is the characteristic of the Sky Island people. ”

Luo Qi nodded slightly and thought about it, he originally wanted to go to the capital of the seven waters, but if it was an empty island, maybe it would be a good place to go.

"That's something to consider, but what did you mean when you said the time was up?"

Sitting cross-legged on the deck, Ulki took out a palm-sized shell from his bosom and gently pressed the top of the shell, only to hear an old voice coming from it.

"To reach the Sky Island, you have to take an updraft, and there are only three places above the sea that can be found, at the southwest reef of Gaya Island, and at the northern submarine whirlpool............"

The voice is very clear about the method of getting to the sky island and the precautions, and it is possible to determine which passage is open through the mutilation of the moon.

"I left the Sky Island when I was very young, and I have been practicing with a sea monk, which was recorded for me by my elders, and I really should go back......"

Urki's voice was low, and his gaze deepened, and he looked at the sky as if he could see the distant island in the air.

"What is it and why is it able to make a sound?" The panda curiously picked up the shell and said.

"The specialty of the Sky Island, this is the sound shell, which can make and record sounds, as well as the lamp shells that shine for a long time, the water shells that store water, the heat shells that store high temperatures, and even some shells that can be used in battle, but the kind that are also very rare on the Sky Island." Urki patiently explained to them.

Roach's eyes lit up suddenly, the only thing he missed now was the fast life in his previous life, unlike now, where water must be stored in advance, and coal for the fire must be prepared, and he has to waste a lot of time after being busy alone.

If these shellfish can be collected on the empty island, it will undoubtedly save the vodka a lot of work, and it will not need to go to the island frequently to replenish supplies.

Of course, the technology tree in the Pirate World is much more developed than expected, and even electricity can be found everywhere in the Navy Headquarters, and it should be the same in some large towns.

However, it is also recorded in the book that Harlan gave to Roach that only large warships have energy storage devices, and their complexity is difficult for even Harlan to access.

"Then let's go to the Sky Island, and first we have to go through the Upside Down Mountain." Roach pointed his finger at the junction of the Great Passage and the Red Continent on the map.

"By the way, Captain, your sailing skills are fine, right? That's the place where countless ships have been destroyed. Panda looked at Roach suspiciously.

Urki also added: "The updraft leading to the Sky Island, as far as I know, is not something that ordinary navigators can control. ”

"Ugh." Luo Qi scratched his head and said with some hesitation: "It should be fine, this ship still has a secret weapon, and if it's just a simple breakage, I'll repair it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Luo Qi was a little bottomless in his heart, coughed and said: "You guys first raise the anchor and prepare to set sail, I'll study it first." ”

With that, he put the map away and flipped through the book on navigators that Nancy had given him in the captain's room.

There is a lot of space on the knowledge of the great waterways, probably because the navy had to go back and forth to the upside down mountain, but these are very well documented.

The Great Passage and the Four Seas are connected by passages in the Upside-Down Mountain, but they are all located at the top of the mountain.

Because of the magnetic field, the water of this mountain flows in and out, and if Roach wants to return to the East China Sea, he must take the only waterway that connects the great waterway and go backwards to the top of the mountain.

If it is an ordinary ship, it has to wait for the monsoon to blow to the top of the mountain, and use the sail to push it up, and the vodka has the ability to go against the wind without wind because of Harlan's modification, but Roach is not sure.

The sails were raised, the flag of the Red Star Pirates was already hanging above the ship's trunk, the vodka officially set sail, and the person who controlled the rudder was replaced by Urki, who was much stronger than the panda.

The most important thing is that Urkey has always been very good at handling the rudder, and Rocky let him take over the job.

Vacant, Roach adjusted the sails with the recording hands, sailing as close to the edge of the sea as he could, during which he made a special phone call to Harlan to inquire about the vodka's power plant.

Unexpectedly, the old man's reply to him was: "There should be no problems with the first use, but be careful after the first use." This made Roach unusually speechless.

The speed of the ship was neither fast nor slow, and after two days they saw the upside-down mountain in the distance.

When he was on the Karp ship, Roach had been in the cabin due to his injuries and had not been exposed to the full view of the mountain.

Now the first time he saw it, he was really shocked, the peak of the mountain was straight into the sky, and the waterways divided the mountain into several pieces, and the smoke wrapped around it, set off the magnificence.

Luo Qi turned his head to look at Urki and the panda, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

He pulled out the prepared wine glass, and the three of them touched the glass and drank it down.
