Turning over the sea of clouds and mist, the empty island 'Heaven Mountain'.

This is an extremely large island of clouds. Yes, there is no dirt, there is just an endless 'island cloud'. The white-covered entity white clouds not only serve as the foundation to carry the entire kingdom, but are also efficiently cut into various cloud buildings.

The 'island clouds' that make up the sky islands are not the same as the 'sea clouds' that make up the air and the sea, because the condensation nuclei that make up the clouds are different. Hailou stone contains a component called 'salt particles', which are ejected into the sky by volcanic eruptions, changing their density when condensed with water vapor, forming sea clouds and island clouds.

The creation of an 'artificial cloud' by cutting and compressing the island cloud and changing the density is called the 'cloud cutting field'. Artificial clouds are widely used in buildings and surface construction, and are as hard as conventional rocks.

One of the Kukai traditions is to wear wing-like ornaments on their backs, and sinners who have been exiled or condemned to the most heinous crimes are not eligible to wear wing ornaments. There are large and small types of wings, and generally speaking, burly people like to wear large wings, and vice versa. Behind the 'Strange Monk' Urki is a large-sized wing, which is available at the 'Winged Star' store in the Sky Island's 'Heavenly Mountain'.

The sacred docks of Paradise Mountain are teemed with all kinds of ships, including the Beagle and the Prajna of the Broken Monk Pirates.

“…… So, there was a big ** in the sea of clouds and fog 4 years ago? ”

On the dreamy white street, Victor and his party sat at the round table of the café on the side of the street with the 'strange monk' Urki. Victor asked as he took a sip of the empty island's specialty coconut water in his glass.

"Yes, not far from Heavenly Mountain, there is a large empty island called 'Bica'."

Urki nodded: "There are abundant products there, and it is a famous trading city. But one day just four years ago, a terrifying thunderbolt fell from the sky, and the entire island of Bikakong and its inhabitants disappeared, leaving no one alive. ”

"Ray?" Robin and Victor looked at each other.

Urki said with trepidation: "That day I was going to go to Bika to meet someone, but when I was sailing, I encountered the empty sea beast and was delayed for a long time, so I escaped. People say it's a divine punishment, but I don't believe it, there must have been some unknown powerful force that destroyed Bika, maybe it was a Devil Fruit. ”

"Then let me ask, what was wrong 4 years ago?" Victor asked, rubbing his chin.

Urki thought for a moment and said, "...... If you want to talk about anomalies, does the quadrennial 'air-sea current' count? ”

"What is an air-sea current?" Mai Hongji asked curiously.

"Air-sea current refers to the phenomenon of two separate air-sea converging and briefly merging. At that time, the two empty seas will exchange sea clouds with each other, and the voyager will also take the opportunity to travel to other empty seas. ”

Urki suddenly frowned: "You mean...... The murderer who destroyed Bika took the opportunity to travel to other Kukai? If that's the case, it's very possible, otherwise with the ability of the Xianglong clan, how could they not be able to search for the murderer for 4 years......"

"It's very likely." Victor nodded: "At that time, the Cloud Turning Sea and which empty sea intersected?" ”

"White Sea."

Urki said with certainty: "It is the only Kukai that has a 'land', and it has a special meaning for the other Kukai people. ”

"Huh? Monk, didn't you just say that there is no such thing as 'dirt' in Kukai? Perona's eyes widened, and she felt that her intelligence had been insulted.

"That's right, 'earth' is only possible to bring a little bit when it is jetted by the sky-rushing current, so 'earth' is a very, very precious thing for all Kukai people."

Urki's face was solemn: "But the white sea is different!" There's a huge, complete 'land' there! It's a gift from the gods! Therefore, the rulers of the White Sea have called themselves 'gods' and occupied this god-given land. ”

Robin frowned: "It doesn't make sense, how can there be a complete earth in the air and sea?" According to Mr. Urki's description, it was clearly an entire island. ”

"What if it's a skyrocketing current?" Victor folded his arms and leaned back in his chair: "The whole island was carried into the sky by the powerful impact of the rushing current, and then fell on the large island clouds. That makes sense. ”

"Brother!" Perona slapped the table excitedly and stood up: "There must be a treasure there!" ”

Victor smiled: "Ahhhh The next stop is the White Sea. ”

"Oops~ It's a long-lost treasure hunting adventure!" Wu Hongji was also very excited: "The concubine has never participated in a treasure hunt since Vidikar's trip three years ago, so I am looking forward to it!" ”

Robin had already reached out the little notebook on his chest and began to plan his next move.

Urki scratched his head and had to interrupt the excitement of several bigwigs: "Uh, interrupt. There are still 4 months until the next air current, are you planning to stay in Heaven Mountain for so long? ”

"Four months, so it's close, right?" Victor's focus is completely different.

"That's true, but there is an endless sky between the air and the sea, and you are not birds...... Urki felt that although these blue sea people were strong enough, they seemed to have a bit of a problem with their brains.

"It's not a problem~" Perona looked at the soil bun with a look: "Otherwise, how do you think we came from the blue sea?" ”

“？？？”

Urji looked confused: "Isn't it the Sky Rush or the Cloud River?" There should be only two ways to get from the blue sea to the empty sea. ”

Wu Hongji smiled: "No, there is another kind - fly!" Haven't you seen it, Flying Ship? ”

"......" Urki was silent for a while, then suddenly left the table and walked in front of Victor, knelt down neatly on the ground, his forehead was tightly pressed against the white artificial cloud floor tiles, and said in a deep voice: "Please take me with you, go to the White Sea!" ”

"Oh? Reason. Victor playfully shook the cup in his hand, translucent coconut juice swaying against the walls.

"My teacher was also in Bika at the time!" The bruises on Urki's neck, whose forehead touched the ground, appeared, and he said loudly: "His old man picked up me who had been destroyed in his hometown and raised it with hard work!" As a result, before I could honor his old man, he was destroyed by the thunder that fell from heaven along with Bika! I am not reconciled, and for four years I have been looking for the murderer who destroyed Bica. I beg you to take me with you to the White Sea! I'm going there looking for the murderer! ”

Victor chuckled: "Don't forget, you were planning to rob us before, but I kindly let you go." And...... How do you know that I'm not going to the White Sea to recruit that powerhouse who can destroy the Sky Island? ”

"You're the kind of chivalrous man who acts righteously, I can see it!" Urki raised his head and looked directly into Victor's eyes, and said categorically: "I am willing to disband the Broken Monk Pirates immediately, and take refuge in your command from now on, and wait for your dispatch!" Please take me there! ”

As he spoke, he slammed his forehead against the hard cloud bricks.

Victor sighed and turned to look at the other three.

Mai Hongji and Robin smiled and didn't speak, and Perona crossed her waist and said angrily, "What are you doing with us?" You know we all listen to you! ”

Viktor looked back at Urki, who remained motionless on his knees, and said softly, "...... Yes, but the rest of your life will be mine. ”

"Yes!" Urki's voice was firm and powerful.

On this day, the people of Heavenly Mountain all saw a real miracle -

A blue ship that flies through the sky!
