Chapter 182: Heading for the "Sky Island".
Above the green clouds, under the blue sky, a silver shuttle swims.
"I sat in the cockpit, looking out the window at the sky outside the glass, and I only felt that the sky was incomparably vast, empty, far-reaching, and boundless, which made people's hearts unconsciously open."
"The clouds on the soles of the feet have different postures and rhythms, like fish scales, like swimming fog, like the sea, thick or light, fast or slow..."
"Looking at this beautiful scenery, I can't help but fall into deep thought."
"So..."
Nami's resentful voice rang out in the cabin of the airship:
"That's why you drove our airship in the wrong direction?"
"Haha... Sort of, right? ”
Galen replied, scratching his head with a dry smile.
Nami helplessly held her forehead, and turned to Robin, who was sitting on the side and drinking tea leisurely, and asked:
"Robin, why didn't you stop him?"
"Didn't I say a long time ago that this guy was forbidden to enter the cockpit?"
"This so-called 'captain' doesn't even have the basic knowledge of discerning the course!"
"The last time he sneaked behind the wheel, he almost got our ship into the center of the storm! I don't know where we took a boatload of people this time! ”
"I'm just a secretary."
Robin elegantly put down the blue-glazed pastel porcelain cup in his hand, revealing a calm, calm, and soothing smile like a cloud outside the window:
"I can only show respect for the wishes of the boss."
Galen continued to smile innocently.
Men are children who don't grow up, and vehicles are toys they will always love.
The poor play cars, the rich play sports cars, and the "ordinary family" plays yachts.
Of course, "real ordinary families" also play sports cars and yachts, although they are all the kind with Nanfu batteries.
After owning the world's first luxury airboat, how could the veteran driver Galen resist his desire to drive?
So Galen seized the opportunity, evaded Nami's strict defenses, and sneaked into the cockpit to experience the thrill of an airship pilot.
And then...
In exchange for the airship's unknowingly deflected course, and the vicious eyes of the airship navigator, Miss Nami, who wants to hit people.
"Nami..."
Galen showed no remorse, but continued to laugh:
"Anyway, we don't have anything to do when we come out this time, it's just a vacation trip."
"It's just a deviation, just a small accident on the journey!"
"yes!"
Wei Wei also nodded in agreement: "This matter is actually not so..."
"Huh?"
Nami's eyes froze.
Vivi swallowed back the second half of her words, and then blushed and looked down at her chest, and stood obediently with Galen.
Because when Galen drove the airship to chase the clouds in the clouds before, Vivi was the co-pilot.
Looking at the two guys who were secretly driving the boat in the cockpit with their backs, the anger in Nami's heart that was about to dissipate couldn't help but burn again.
She couldn't help but point to Kuzan, who was sleeping on the sofa on the other side, and said to Galen:
"Who said there was nothing serious to do this time?"
"Now that the airship has deviated from course, we probably don't know how long it will take to fly before we can send this ice cube man back to the Navy Headquarters!"
"He's an admiral! Busy, okay?! ”
"Oh?"
"Is this trip going to be delayed?"
Kuzan, who had woken up from the noise, took off his blindfold and frowned, realizing the gravity of the situation.
Kuzan immediately took out a phone bug from his suit and dialed a phone with a serious expression:
"Marshal of the Warring States? It's me, Kuzan. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid my vacation will end a little later."
"No way, the boat I was on was driven in the wrong direction by the captain, this is force majeure."
"What? Q: How soon can I go back to work? ”
"Hmm..."
Kuzan hung up the phone.
Before that, everyone could clearly hear from the microphone the roar of the Admiral Sengoku-sama slapping the table and cursing.
Nami's face was gloomy for a while, and she finally couldn't help but question the admiral in front of her for the Sengoku Marshal who was far away in the headquarters:
"Ice cube man! Didn't you say you were in a hurry to go back to work before you came with us on an empty boat? ”
"Uh..."
Kuzan pondered for a moment, then explained to Nami calmly:
"Looking out the window at the sky and the clouds and falling asleep, I feel like I'm sleeping in the clouds."
"I sleep better here than I do at the Navy headquarters."
“......”
Nami suddenly felt very tired, and her whole person was a little haggard:
"Forget it... I'm going to correct the course. ”
The entire airship is in charge of navigating the entire airship.
Because there are no artificial satellites in the sky, there is no global positioning; There were no navigation stations on the ground, and there was no way for airboats to use radio navigation;
As for the inertial navigation technology using accelerometers and gyroscopes, Frankie, who developed the entire airship on his own, was also unskilled and did not set foot in it for the time being.
Therefore, this airship can not get lost, all thanks to Nami, a genius navigator, who has been escorting it with the most primitive astronomical positioning and geomagnetic navigation.
And Nami's slight negligence, the airship was mistaken by the playful Galen who didn't know where to go.
In order to correct Galen's mistake, Nami had to go to the trouble of confirming the location of the airship and then re-planning the course.
"Huh?"
Nami suddenly noticed something strange from the various gauges of the airship, and her eyes widened suddenly:
"Record the pointer, pointing in a parallel direction?"
The recording hand is a three-dimensional structure, and its pointer points to an island in the Great Fairway;
So when the airship is in the air, this pointer should always point to a certain position downward;
Now, however, the recording pointer on the instrument panel points straight to a position parallel to the empty boat.
"This..."
Nami suddenly realized the strangeness of this:
"Is there an island that can be at the same height as our airboats? We're flying in the sky now! ”
As if seeing some hallucination, Nami hurriedly ran to Galen and the others and told her sensational discovery:
"Everyone!"
"I just noticed a strange phenomenon! Around here, there may be islands floating in the sky! ”
After hearing this terrifying news, everyone was... Very calm.
"Oh, it's an empty island."
Galen said casually.
"The existence of this empty island is not a secret in the upper echelons of the Navy."
Kuzan said lazily.
"In our royal library in Alabastan, there are also many documents about the empty island."
Vivi explained indifferently.
Robin was very surprised, but her expression was always so calm and calm.
Frankie, the only one who might appear surprised, was doing his duty as an engineer at the moment, and he didn't know where on the airboat to overhaul the equipment.
"Huh?"
Nami was a little confused:
"You all know about such an unbelievable thing?"
Galen didn't speak, but fell into a brief thought:
Unexpectedly...
He had accidentally made a mistake before, and he had accidentally driven the empty boat to the edge of the legendary sky island.
This empty island is not good...
There are not only gold relics everywhere, but also all kinds of strange shells, mysterious historical texts, and a pretentious "god" who regards ordinary people as ants.
The ruler of this empty island is extremely cruel, and will even use thunder and lightning to scorch his subjects when he hears a complaint.
In Galen's eyes, this guy is a local tyrant and a bully in the fish and meat town, and he is doing a great thing to liberate the people of the empty island.
Galen thought about it again, and now he had Admiral Kuzan by his side.
The "god" Anilu, who only knows how to shrink on an island and reign as a king, is afraid that he and Kuzan will be hammered to death!
"Let's head to that empty island!"
Galen immediately decided.
"What?"
Nami was slightly stunned, and said with some excitement: "You third-rate captain, don't let me decide the course casually!" ”
"On that empty island..."
Galen said silently, "There is gold everywhere. ”
Nami gasped.
After signing a contract for a sea train that would bankrupt the company in one go, Nami was cured of a long-term greed for money and showed signs of recurrence.
"These golds are all ancient relics."
Galen quietly glanced at Robin next to him, and added, "Even, there is a historical text there." ”
Robin, who has always been calm, couldn't help but breathe, and his eyes were even more colorful.
Hearing such a rebellious word as "historical text", Admiral Kuzan just silently put on his eyes and earplugs, and fell back into a deep sleep.
"The adventure of the island in the sky..."
Many romantic and wonderful pictures suddenly appeared in Weiwei's mind, and an irrepressible passion appeared in her eyes:
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go! ”
..........................................................
After a period of sailing, the legendary Sky Island finally appeared in everyone's field of vision:
Above the clouds, several vast islands were suspended in the air.
The scenery above is varied and distinctly defined, with towering mountains, vast lakes, calm mountain forests, and long rivers.
What is even more peculiar is that around the island, where the waters of the rivers converge, there is a sea suspended in the air.
"Is this the Sky Island? It's amazing! ”
Vivi exclaimed.
Even though everyone already knew about its existence, they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this beauty with their own eyes.
Except for Kuzan, who is still sleeping.
"The text of history..."
Robin's heart was full of excitement, and she couldn't help but want to use the historical text of the island to fill in the gaps in her knowledge.
"Gold..."
Nami's heart was full of excitement, and she couldn't hold back her desire to use the island's gold to make up for the company's losses.
"Anilu..."
Galen's heart was full of excitement, and he couldn't hold back his desire to use the island's Anilu to fill up his lack of experience.
............................................................................
The Flying Pirates, a first-class pirate group that was once as famous as the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.
But all of this ended with a defeat for Captain Shiki more than twenty years ago.
The subordinates of the golden lion Shiji died and fled, and the flying ship regiment was completely wiped out.
By the time Skey reorganized the Sky Pirates, all he could do was a comical-looking ship doctor and scientist.
But instead of being discouraged, Shi Ji took the scientist to a small island to bury himself in the development of biotechnology, and only waited for the time to come back and make a comeback.
After so many years, Golden Lion Shiji has been hiding on his floating island and living a farming life without fighting with the world.
Until this day ....
A minion ran to the palace of the leader of the golden lion in a panic, and reported to the golden lion Shiji on his prostrate ground:
"It's a big deal, Captain!"
"There's a big salted fish flying over from our island!"
