Chapter 286: Sky Island
Seeing this shell, everyone's first reaction was that it was attacked!
But on second thought, it's not right! The ships of the Dragon Hunter Pirates are parked in the harbor, and there are people on duty at all times, so if an enemy comes from the sea, the ship will be the first to come and report the news.
Moreover, not to mention anything else, in the past, the main opponent of the Dragon Hunter Pirates was the navy, but since Ian became the Seven Martial Seas, it is impossible for the navy to do anything to him now, and the other pirates know that Ian is on this island, even if they plunder, they will avoid it from afar, unless they ......
Unless it is a group of pirates who are bold enough to challenge the position of the Seven Martial Seas, they dare to come and twist the tiger's whiskers.
Such a thought only flashed in the minds of Fuji Tiger and the others, however, before they could think clearly, suddenly there were several loud bangs one after another, and the roaring sound was outside the tavern.
At this moment, everyone couldn't sit still, so they quickly opened the tavern door and ran out, only to see a scene that stunned them!
Heavenly! The wreck of a ship fell from the sky!
The cannonball that hit the roof of the tavern before came from this ship, perhaps from the ship's ammunition depot, but it happened to fall on the tavern's location, and around the tavern's location, things were falling one after another, broken ship's side, broken masts, and gun emplacements, etc., large pieces of wreckage, falling to the ground and smashing directly to pieces, and at the same time making a loud noise, while the smaller ones were like raining.
Near the entire station of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, it was raining such wreckage at this time.
Where had everyone seen such a formation, and they shouted in surprise and dodged in all directions.
I don't know how long it took for the rain of wreckage to finally stop, and everyone walked out of their hiding place to check the wreckage.
Ian, who had been on the playground before, was also alarmed at this time, and ran to the tavern and asked, "What's going on?" ”
In fact, he had already thought of something at this time, but after hearing what had happened from Fuji Tiger and the others, he became more and more affirmative, so he raised his head and looked towards the sky.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, at this time, a huge cloud is slowly floating over the island where the Republic of Travira is located, and the position of the cloud seems to be so high, I don't know how far it is from the ground.
"Captain Ian!" Zike and the others came panting and said, "We checked it just now and found that this is a pirate ship, but there are no people on it, and there are no corpses, and for some reason, this ship looks very old. ”
Ian nodded, didn't speak, looked around, and saw that the waiter in the tavern was there, so he called him over.
Ian's tavern, the waiter is a local, he was hired, and he has been dealing with the Dragon Hunter Pirates, so he is not stage frightened, after running over, he bowed slightly to Ian and said, "My lord, did you call me?" ”
Pointing to the huge cloud above, Ian asked him, "That's the Sky Island, right?" This ship, fell from above? ”
"Maybe!" The waiter scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "In fact, on our island, there are often falling objects from high altitudes, and there have been cases of stoned death, the older generation once said that it fell from the sky island, but after all, no one has seen the appearance of the sky island with their own eyes, so I don't dare to say whether it is or not." ”
"Then let me ask in a different way, is it every time there is a falling object from a high altitude, there are such huge clouds in the sky?" Ian asked him.
The waiter touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and said, "It seems that this is really the case!" ”
So Ian became more and more sure that the cloud above might be an empty island, and the wreckage of this pirate group fell from it.
Sky Island, this seems to be known to few people in the first half of the Great Voyage, but in the New World, Sky Island is not a secret, although many people have not seen it with their own eyes, but they have heard of it, so saying this word does not cause ridicule.
As a result, the legend of the empty island in the New World is still very widespread.
In fact, there are not just one or two empty islands in this world, but there are many, and the specific reasons for their formation are also varied, but Ian didn't expect that there was also an empty island in the sky above this island.
Moreover, listening to what the waiter said, the operating range of this empty island is probably in the sea area near here, and it is not the type of empty island that floats away with the wind, and it has a fixed trajectory.
Ian was also interested all of a sudden, in fact, from the beginning of his great voyage, he thought that maybe he could go to the Sky Island to see, it should be a very unique scenery, right?
It's just that the route he took back then was not the one Luffy took back then, and he couldn't get to the island of Gaia, and naturally he couldn't encounter that kind of updraft...... Well, in fact, even if he encounters it, it's one thing whether he dares to break through, that kind of rising current is simply like playing with his life, if he wants to reach the sky island in this way, he must not only have a superb navigator, but also someone to help, the timing is right, plus a strong enough protagonist aura, so Ian is afraid that he will not dare to try.
But Ian also knew that there were other ways to reach the Sky Island, and it seemed that the safety would be higher.
Fujitora may have also heard the word "empty island", so after hearing Ian's question, he was a little surprised: "You said that it may be an empty island above?" ”
"Nine times out of ten!" Ian looked up again at the huge cloud above, which was moving slowly, but because it was so large, it looked like a large dark cloud.
"Could it be that the ship that fell before was shipwrecked on the Sky Island?" Ko Nanayi also asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know, that ship looks a little old, maybe it was lost on the empty island many years ago, and now it's just falling!" Ian Road.
Hu Tao jumped and jumped: "Then how do you get to the empty island?" I want to check it out! ”
"This ......" Ian suddenly didn't know how to answer, he knew that there must be a path to the Sky Island, but the question was what kind of path it was, so it was hard to say.
"Perhaps, the ability under the lower can send people up, but I don't know how high I can rise!" Fujitora Road.
When they heard the first half of the sentence, everyone suddenly remembered Uncle Fuji Tiger's weightlessness ability, and they were still happy in their hearts, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, including Ian, they were stunned again, yes, Fuji Tiger's ability is only to make people and objects enter a state of weightlessness and float objects, but after reaching high altitude, there are also air currents and other interferences, whether it can send people to the clouds, it is still unknown.
"Maybe you can push it in weightlessness and give it an initial speed?" Yardi said: "In terms of strength, I am quite confident. ”
"Don't be funny! As soon as the wind blows, it is directly blown away! Konanayi said.
Now at least one thing is certain, the island of Travila, it seems that there is no way to reach the empty island above, if there is, the waiter cannot not know, but the legend of the empty island has aroused everyone's associations, and the discussion has opened their minds, imagining how to get to the empty island.
However, at this time, BABY-5, who was holding a cigarette, suddenly said: "Maybe, I have a way to go up!" ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at her, and then Ian suddenly slapped his palms and suddenly said, "Yes, BABY-5, your weapon fruit seems to be able to turn into a missile?" ”
"It can be turned into a missile, but the flight time is relatively short!" BABY-5 SAID: "That kind of flight is very physically demanding!" ”
It doesn't matter if it's short, the key is that the speed is fast enough, Ian pondered for a while and said, "Or, BABY-5, you and I go up and have a look?" ”
"You?" BABY-5 WAS STUNNED.
"Of course, don't forget, I can fly too!" Ian said with a smile.
What Ian said was naturally the flight ability after devouring the black dragon wave, that kind of black flame wings, Ian's current telekinesis recovery speed, can also support it for a while, from the previous five seconds, now it can fly for more than a minute.
IF HE AND BABY-5 HAD RELAYED, THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE ISLAND.
