On the endless ethereal white sea, a large sailing ship without a mast swayed slowly in one direction, but no matter how you look at it, you always feel that it is filled with a sad atmosphere.

This is the Blood Crystal Pirates under Smoker's control, and they are heading to the nearest empty island to Nineveh, while Smoker is sitting in the dining room savoring flat fish fried golden brown by the head chef.

"Well, that's good."

It's really delicious, but Smoker was a little disappointed in his heart, "But this doesn't seem to be any different from the sea fish in Qinghai." ”

"If you compare the taste alone, that's exactly what it is."

As soon as the head chef who was waiting next to him talked about the food, most of the tension in his heart instantly disappeared, but his expression was still respectful, "The reason why this fish is three times more expensive than the fish below is not only because they are born in the white sea in the sky, but also because of their own value." ”

"What is its own value?"

Smoker swallowed the fish in his mouth, and then used his consciousness to feel the changes in his body, and the existence of life return allowed him to accept any changes in his body as long as he was willing to calm down.

Otherwise, you can't even feel, how can you freely control the inside and outside of your body?

"I see."

The corners of his mouth hidden behind the white smoke curled slightly, and to be honest, Smoker was a little surprised now, "This fish has a certain improvement effect on the respiratory system in the body!" ”

Although this effect is very weak, so weak that it is almost negligible, under his almost materialized consciousness, he can clearly feel that the trachea, bronchi, and even the two lungs have been nourished to a certain extent.

"Uh...."

Hearing this, the pirates who were waiting silently nearby were stunned, especially the head chef Ron and the captain Conrad looked at each other.

Smoker frowned, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

"No, it's not... We just don't know what the respiratory tract is in the mouth of an adult. ”

Conrad hurriedly shook his hand and explained: "We only heard that eating this empty island fish often can improve people's ability to hold their breath, which is why this fish can make so much money. ”

Chef Ron laughed, "You know how tempting it is for most non-capable pirates to increase their breath-holding ability. ”

"That's right~"

Smoker understood what they said, saying that the illiteracy rate in this world was so high that it could collapse the educators of previous lives, after all, the Draconians or the world government had no interest in building schools.

Most of the people who can read and write in this world belong to the family background, or they are lucky enough to meet literate elders or something.

"Let's not talk about the fish, tell me why you can still enter and leave the sky island freely."

Smoker put down the knife and fork in his hand, took the white towel handed over by Ron and wiped his mouth, "Didn't you say that the Sky Island has been completely 'closed off from the country' and no longer allows Qingdao people to enter?" ”

"Closed off the country?"

Conrad asked in surprise, "What kind of seclusion, we've never heard of it!" Then he turned to the other pirates, "Have you heard of that?" ”

"No, no!"

"I've never heard of the news of Qinghai people being banned from entering!"

Conrad looked at Smoker again, "Your Excellency, look ....."

Hearing their answers, Smoker's anger began to brew in his heart, but not against Conrad, but against the Targrana bastards, because he felt that he had been deceived!

"My lord, Captain, I think I've heard of this."

Just when the atmosphere at the scene was inexplicably becoming ossified due to Smoker's fluctuating mood, Ron on the side suddenly interjected, "When I was buying ingredients on the island before, I heard some news from the people of Sky Island. ”

"Speak quickly!"

Smoker immediately commanded, seriously, if Targla really dared to fool him, then he would be dead this time, 100% dead, and he would never spare his life again!

He can make Targuera the so-called god of gold, and he can turn him into a broken corpse!

"It is said that the 'Kingdom of Gods', where the 'God of the Sky Island' is located, has indeed banned any Qinghai people from entering, but this order does not include the Sky Island on this 'high-speed air road'."

Ron smiled respectfully.

"Highway ....."

Smoker silently recited these four words in his mind, is there such a thing in the original comics? It's been so much time that he can't remember many details.

"Explain the highway."

Since you don't know, just ask someone who knows.

"My lord, didn't you come up from the 'entrance'?"

Conrad was surprised again, he didn't know how many times he had been surprised, "Can you ask how you came to the White Sea?" ”

"Flying up, is there a problem?"

Smoker glanced at him, and although there was a faint layer of smoke, Conrad felt a chill instantly, as if he had been pinched by a monster in the heart.

"No, no, no problem!"

Conrad shook his head violently and replied with some embarrassment: "Hehe, it's worthy of an adult, it's really different from us....."

"My lord, the so-called high-speed air road is a magical cloud road connecting the sea area of the 'New World' and the high white sea, but this road is very dangerous because it is covered with air kings comparable to sea kings and equivalent to the windless belt of Qinghai."

Seeing that his captain was embarrassed, Ron immediately began to introduce him, and sure enough, Smoker's attention shifted to him, which also made Conrad breathe a sigh of relief.

"And Nineveh, which we are about to go to now, is one of the four empty islands along the way, and it is the innermost empty island closest to the 'Kingdom of God'!"

At this point, not only Ron, but all the pirates who heard it looked proud, as if it was something to be proud of to have arrived here unscathed.

"I see."

Smoker gained his knowledge, it turned out that although this empty island was dangerous to the people of the 'New World', it was not up to the level of 'legend', you must know that in the first half of the Great Voyage, many people thought that the empty island was just a joke!

"Then tell me, why can't the ban of the 'God of Sky Island' affect the 'high-speed air road'?"

"Because of strength."

Ron looked at Smoker with a complicated look in his eyes, and then said pointedly.

"Although theoretically, as the ruler of the empty island, the various empty islands on the highway should obey the order of the 'god of the empty island' and prohibit us Qinghai people from coming and going, but in fact, they can't do it at all."

"I see."

"Because the highway borders the 'New World', there are often people with extraordinary strength coming, so even if there is a 'ban', it is just a virtual and meaningless thing. ”

At this moment, he thought of Kaido, one of the four emperors in the comics in his previous life, who ran to the empty island to jump into the clouds and 'commit suicide'.

Think about it, what would happen if one day the Hundred Beasts Kaido had to do another 'bungee jump on the clouds' without security measures, and then was told that they were forbidden to enter by the Sky Island?

Not to mention the defenders of those empty islands, even if Targra, who is the 'god of the empty island', comes to enforce the ban in person, he can only give away the head!

I don't know why, after thinking about this, Smoker suddenly felt a little sorry for Tarklea, as the ruler of a country, but he couldn't manage more than two-thirds of the territory, what a sad fact?

"Eh, I can only say long live understanding..... I'm wrong about you, Targuera~"
