In the first half of the Great Passage, at a height of several thousand meters above the sea, Lei was waving his cloud-hardened arms vigorously, hoping to slow down the rising speed.

That's right, it's rising, because the clouds become very light after the fogging, and Lei is very unlucky to encounter a strong updraft, and with his weak control over his body after elementalization, he can only lie comfortably in the airflow. Looking up at the strange cumulus clouds in the sky, Ray narrowed his eyes and yawned, "Woo! Hungry. ”

......

Just when Ray imagined what the clouds tasted like, Zefa, who was far away in Marin Fando, decided to stay in the headquarters as a naval instructor after a few thoughts, while retaining the rank of admiral. If nothing else, his whole life will be spent teaching the navy and searching for his son. Zefa thought as he stood on the naval training ground and watched the teams of navy train.

"Yo! Zefa, are you really going to teach this bunny bunt? Karp greeted Zefa with a grin, looking like he wasn't doing it properly.

"Karp, you said that if the navy is so strong that the pirates will never dare to show up again, Natalie and Ray won't leave me from time to time?" Zefa turned his back to Karp and raised his head to let the tears in his eyes, it was clear that the blow of his wife and children was still affecting the strong naval hero.

"Old friend! I'm looking forward to that day! Karp put away a rare smile and looked at Zefa seriously, "And I heard that there are two good guys in this new recruit, maybe they can fill the vacant position." ”

"I heard that they seem to be called Sakasky and Polusalino, two young people with great potential." Zefa also quickly put away his sadness and turned to face Karp, "Let's go have a drink together!" ”

"Hah! It's rare that you take the initiative to invite someone to drink. Karp was surprised, with a comical expression.

"Then you don't want to go." Zefa didn't want to pay attention to the tease.

"I'm going to call Sengoku too." Karp has always liked to be lively, and he doesn't know how much his grandson has learned from him.

"Hey! Don't let Tsuru and Marshal know. ”

"Yes! ......”

......

"Spiders are a delicious food that is high in protein, but unfortunately there are too few of them." Lei ate the spider on his hand with a regretful face, and the little spider that migrated with the wind was tragically poisoned by Zhengtai.

As the air flow climbed, Thunder came to the height of the clouds, and here the air flow began to decrease, and Ray could gradually control the movement of his body, so he discovered one more thing - that is, he could walk on the sea of clouds, even ordinary clouds were like land to Thunder, "It's really a wonderful ability, but I don't know if I can use clouds as food." ”

As a good boy who does it when he thinks of it, Ray directly grabbed a ball and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hiccup!" It felt like taking a sip of the northwest wind in winter. ”

Hunger and exhaustion made Ray's eyelids want to be together so much, keeping the elementalization, the boy curled up above the sea of clouds, the sun shining on the white world, gilded with golden brilliance.

Ray misses the big bed at home, it is soft and soft, and whenever he is sleepy, his mother will pat him and sing him beautiful nursery rhymes or tell him his father's heroic stories. "Mom," Ray whispered.

An island slowly appears in the sea of clouds, most of the island is composed of special clouds and a small part of the land, there is a large bubble at the bottom to support, there are many small propellers and a large propeller on the island to help the island move forward in the air, a large castle is located in the middle of the island, there are many small houses next to it, the strange thing is that these are made of clouds, and it is even more strange that the climate on the island has changed from thunderstorms to sunny in just a few minutes.

The island moved forward slowly, the ordinary clouds were squeezed by the island in front of them, separated and dissipated, and the thunder who was sleeping on the clouds was squeezed by the island to squeeze the clouds under him, and the thunder was also squeezed to the island, it seemed that out of instinct, the thunder was released from the elementalization after going to the island, which was too much physical strength for a child.

On the path, which is made up entirely of gray clouds, Hara, dressed in blue, is walking around the island in his leisure time after dinner, as usual, with an umbrella in hand in case of a sudden rainstorm.

Well, it's still the same scenery as usual, and it's great that we, who are lonely in a sea of clouds seeking knowledge, roaming in the unpredictable weather! - Hareda's fantasies, almost moved by his noble scientific spirit.

Then the next moment he fell down the road in a dog-eating posture that was not sublime at all, but fortunately the road made of clouds was not hard, otherwise he would have to do scientific research in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Harada struggled to his feet and looked at the obstacle on the road that was almost half-paralyzing. "Huh? Where did the child come from. Harada leaned in and took a closer look.

As a result of being touched, Ray woke up from a dream full of food, and his blurred vision became clear, and he saw an old face with a fishtail-like snow-white beard on his face, which was undoubtedly a huge irritation for a person who had just opened his eyes.

Two screams came from Ray and Hareda's mouths,

"Ahh Ahhh ”

"Ahh Ahhh ”

After staring at each other for a while, the two first-time acquaintances calmed down and greeted each other.

Harada squatted down and looked at the little boy with purple hair and purple eyes, slightly dark skin, and tattered clothes, "Hello, little guy! My name is Harada and I'm a meteorologist, how did you get here? You know, it's 12,000 kilometers above the sea. Harada was visibly amazed that no outsider had visited the island for a long time.

'Meteorologist? It's so familiar, it seems that I'm also counted, forget it, I can't remember. Ray scratched his head, "Hello, old man!" My name is Ray, I'm three years old, and I flew up from the mouth of a big monster down there. "Although he has been through a lot, Ray is still a simple child at heart, honest and cute.

"Gollum!" The tiny belly made a loud roar.

"Hey, old man, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry. Ray asked Harada a little embarrassed, because it had been two days since he escaped from the pirates, and although he had eaten an unpalatable fruit that wanted to be, the devil fruit was not used to fill his stomach, and the empty stomach made Ray forget to ask where it was, and just wanted to have a full meal.

Harada looked at the kid who almost had two mouths in his eyes and had a headache, "Ray, huh?" I've already eaten it at home, and all that's left is bread and soup, so if you don't dislike it, come with me. ”

"That's great, thank you, old man."

The two of them walked on the soft island clouds one after the other, and from time to time Harada pointed to the buildings on the island and introduced to Ray, although Ray only wanted to fill his stomach now, but he was gradually attracted by the magical characteristics of the island.

The small island of Visalia is a man-made floating island, the entire island does not exceed 10 square kilometers in size, and the climate is changeable. The island's inhabitants are meteorologists who gather here to study different weather conditions from all over the world, and they rarely leave Visalia, but sometimes they also help places affected by bad weather in order to earn research grants.

Ray followed in Hara's footsteps and soon came to Hara's residence on the island. From the front, it was just an ordinary small house, but when Ray walked into the house, he noticed that the small house was full of books, and even the dining table was covered in a layer. The corners of Ray's eyes twitched, and he looked at the messy living room speechlessly.

After beckoning Ray to sit down, Harada took out the remaining bread and soup from the kitchen and put them on the table, looking at Ray gobbling up because of hunger, Harada smiled gently: "Anyway, welcome to Visalia." ”
