Chapter Ninety-Three: The Sky Island
A few days later.
Kingdom of Alcalya, a man on a bicycle came here, and after searching for a round to no avail, he scratched his hair.
"Ahh......h It's still a step too late. ”
Qingzhi left the headquarters a long time ago, and immediately rushed to Alcaria after getting the news, thinking that according to Alcaria's magnetic storage days, it should be enough to arrive before the Ghost Hand Pirates set sail, but it turned out to be too late.
"It's a headache, forget it, let's take it as a vacation......"
After shaking his head, the young boy rode his bicycle away from Alcaria, and all the paths that the bicycle rolled over silently froze into an icy road.
A few more days later, the fleet of the naval base closest to the Kingdom of Alcaria arrived, seized the body of Klokdal, and reported the situation to the top of the naval headquarters.
"Didn't you get it?"
After Marshal Warring States got the news, he sat behind his desk and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Contact Qingzhi, where is he now?" ”
Qingzhi left the Navy Headquarters, he was naturally very clear, although a naval commander personally dispatched a pirate with a reward of 200 million was a bit excessive, but first, the influence of Rhodes was too bad, and second, Qingzhi was secretly dispatched, and he acted alone, and no one knew.
Just as Sengoku was about to contact Qingzhi and ask about it, a phone bug on the table suddenly rang, it was a phone bug that connected the secret agency of the world government.
"Hello? I'm Sengoku. ”
Sengoku frowned slightly and picked up the phone.
A deep voice came from the other end of the line.
"Marshal of the Warring States, the affairs of the Ghost Hand Pirates have been entrusted to us by the government, and the navy warships may be mobilized if necessary, I hope your navy will fully cooperate."
“…… I know. ”
After Sengoku was slightly silent, he responded and hung up the phone.
He was not surprised that the government directly took over the matter of the Ghost Hand Pirates, compared to the navy, the current high-level government has much stronger murderous intentions towards Rhodes.
And the matter of Rhodes has already made a lot of noise, it is indeed not suitable for any more fanfare, and the youth will travel alone, which is also the reason, so it is indeed a suitable choice in the eyes of the Warring States to be handled secretly by the CP agency.
……
Time moved forward slightly, six thousand meters in the air.
The Ghost's speed was fixed at a certain point, and it rose sharply towards the sky, and the sea below had become a little out of reach, and a large number of clouds and mist could already be seen around it.
After crossing the 6,000-meter limit, and looking up, you can almost see a vast white cloud, hanging above the sky, as if carrying another world.
Airplanes!
The Shadow began to slow down, and as it got closer and closer to the clouds, Rhodes leaped to the very top of the mast, and reached out into the clouds.
Under the manipulation of Rhodes, the twisting power was violently stimulated against the sea clouds, and in a loud noise, the sea clouds swung to both sides, and a huge crack was torn open by Rhodes.
The Shadow sped up suddenly, and under the path of Rhodes, it passed through the sea clouds, and continued to rise upwards, among which many fish and large monsters could be faintly seen, and these monsters discovered the existence of the Ghost Shadow, but before they could come, the Ghost Shadow rushed to a higher place.
Crash!
Finally, at the very top of the white clouds, the whole sea cloud suddenly cracked, and the Ghost Shadow soared up from it, hovered in mid-air, and slowly fell to the clouds.
The clouds were like seawater, holding up the Ghost Shadow steadily.
"Here it is...... Sky Island. ”
Lafitte came to the side of the boat, looked at the clouds supporting the hull below, and chuckled, "It's really amazing, the clouds can carry a ship." ”
Rhodes nodded, the existence of the Sky Island seemed to him to be incomprehensible, but different worlds have different rules, and this world is such a magical place as the existence of the Sky Island.
After looking at his surroundings, he asked Lafitte, "Look at the record pointer, has there been a change?" ”
"It's changed, the three arrows all point in one direction......" Lafitte looked at the advanced recording hand on her wrist, revealing a hint of surprise.
The three arrows of the advanced recording pointer usually point to the three islands, and if they point in one direction, it undoubtedly indicates that the magnetic force in that direction is strong to a certain extent.
After taking a closer look at the changed record pointer, Lafitte noticed that the direction of the arrow was still pointing diagonally upward, and she couldn't help but look in that direction.
"And keep going."
"That's right, this is the White Sea, and the empty island has to go up another three thousand meters, let's get used to the environment here first, and then we will go up." Rhodes nodded.
This is the sky island ten years ago from Luffy's period, and any situation can exist, and the Four Emperors and Hundred Beasts Kaido have also played free fall on the sky island, so for the sake of safety, it is natural to adapt to the thin air environment of the sky island first.
Half a day later.
After gradually adapting to the environment of the Sky Island and having little impact on the power, Rhodes once again activated his ability, carrying the Ghost Shadow, rushed up to the white sea at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then sailed away in the direction guided by the arrow.
"Before Anilu came to Angel Island, he already had the ability of the Thunder Fruit, which means that the Thunder Fruit is not on Angel Island, but on Bika Island, which he will destroy in four years."
A few memories flashed through Rhodes' mind.
After sailing in the direction indicated by the record pointer, the island you finally arrive at is indeed Angel Island in the original book, and if you fall vertically from here, you will arrive at Gaya Island and enter another route of the Great Voyage, which is the route taken by Luffy.
However, the purpose of Rhodes is not to cross the route, but to go to another empty island, 'Bika', so after arriving at Angel Island, the only thing to do on the island is to find a map of the empty island.
Angel Island is currently ruled by Ganful, and the arrival of Rhodes and others has not caused much hostility among the people of the Sky Island, because occasionally there are Qinghai people who arrive on the Sky Island through several routes.
"Here's what you care about...... Historical text steles. ”
Walking on the white cloud shore of Angel Island, Rhodes admired his surroundings and spoke to Robin, who was following him.
The task of obtaining the map was given to Lafitte, and on his side, he was in charge of attacking ...... No, she was in charge of taking Robin to find the historical text stele she cared about.
Robin glanced at Rhodes strangely, not because he didn't believe what Rhodes said, but because he was a little strange why Rhodes seemed so familiar all the way, and how he knew that there was a historical text tablet here.
"The captain has been here before?"
"No, but nothing in this world escapes my eyes, and the same is true for Sky Island." Rhodes stood with his hands in his hands and spoke flatly.
Robin was accustomed to her own captain's style, she tilted her head and smiled, "So, does the captain know what happened in that blank hundred years eight hundred years ago?" ”
Rhodes' face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "The truth needs to be pursued by yourself to make sense, if I tell you now, you will lose the motivation to move forward." ”
“…… It makes sense. ”
Robin covered his mouth and chuckled, hehe.
"Let's go."
Rhodes turned around and came to Robin's side, put his hand on her shoulder, and the ability to twist the fruit activated, and the two of them instantly broke free from the constraints of gravity and flew towards the sky.
