"Sky Island?"

On the Jackdaw Flamingo,

Oni, who was at the helm, looked up at the sky.

"Rosie, what you said, it won't be the territory of the 'Golden Lion' Shiki, right?"

"It's kind of similar, but it's not an island that can be lifted, it's an island in the sky that has formed naturally."

Idle is also idle, Rosie gave Oni at the helm by the way, Gary who was lying on the mast, and Diamantikop, who was already leaning on the side.

"As you all know, the capable are not so much afraid of the sea as they are afraid of the ingredient in the sea called 'pyrobroin'."

"And this rock salt crystal called 'pyrobroin' has a familiar name: Hailou Stone!"

"When pyrobroin particles rise into the air due to volcanic eruptions, they form a special cloud with water vapor. When these clouds gather to a certain extent, they can even form 'sea of clouds' and 'cloud islands'. ”

This is the essence of the empty island: a floating cloud formed by the powder of the sea building stone. - So the capable will also 'drown' in the sea of clouds on the Sky Island.

While explaining, Rosie touched her chin.

Maybe something like Hailou Stone is a big killer created by the 'Huge Kingdom' to deal with the powerful: if the concentration of 'pyrobroin' in the air reaches the level of the sea, will it directly kill the powerful people in the world?

Therefore, it is still the most reliable domineering.

"Rosie, since the Sky Island is at an altitude of 10,000 meters, how can we go up?"

Diamanti, who was leaning next to him, asked, can't you solve the problem with a sentence of 'rudder up'.

"If you're going to pursue excitement, follow through."

"Take advantage of the cupola current!"

Rosie held up a finger,

"The island is located directly above the island of Gaya because 400 years ago, part of the island was carried into the air by the current at an altitude of 10,000 meters. That's right, what the fairy tale book says in "Rolando", the king of big words, is true. ”

"However, sailing up to an altitude of 10,000 meters along the sky-high current, the right time, place and people are indispensable, do you want to try to die?"

Crazy shaking of the head! x2

Oni and Diamanti refused on the spot,

As for the cat-eared girl Gary? She can fly and doesn't care at all.

"It's a pity, if all the members of the family are together, we can also take the road of 'rushing to the sky and the sea'."

At this point in time, Mont Blanc Rowlando's descendant: Mont Blanc Cooliket, has not yet traveled to the island of Gaya, and without his more than ten years of recording hydrology, the future Straw Hats will not be able to ride the storming current so easily.

As for the Roger Pirates, there are naturally geniuses in various fields.

In fact, the easiest way to go to Sky Island is for Rosie's vest 'white-robed assassin' to come forward and find a golden lion to give them a ride. However, this kind of trivial matter consumes the human favor of the golden lion, which is too wasteful.

"Our goal is the island called 'Western Heaven's Peak', from where you can go to the empty island 'normally'."

That's right, in addition to the 'sky-high current' of gambling on life, there are also regular ways to go to the sky island. Although the official way is also known as 'the casualty rate is more than 60%).

"I see, it's you!"

Oni nodded, it was convenient to travel with Rosie, everything had been arranged. - It would be better if there were no unexpected battles.

"Bah, bah, bah,"

？

Glancing at Oni, who muttered 'what she just thought doesn't count', Rosie slowly closed her eyes and let out the domineering look she had seen and heard, exercising her wide-area perception as she sailed.

————

A few days later,

"This is the 'Western Heaven'?"

"Uh... Actually, it's the first time I've seen it. ”

Navigating with a permanent pointer bought from the underground black market, when the Jackdaw Flamingo arrives on the legendary island of the Western Summit, Rossi finally understands why there are 'sixty percent casualties'.

What appears in front of everyone is an island full of technology, with a wide waterway leading to the center of the island. And in the middle of the island, a huge metal pipe reaches into the sky!

The huge metal pipe, which was more than two football fields in cross-section, was covered with marks of swords and slashes, and if it weren't for the special alloy, it would have collapsed into ruins.

As the Jackdaw Flamingo slowly drove down the waterway into the huge metal pipe, an intermittent electronic sound immediately sounded around it:

"Zizi... Welcome aboard··· Rail lift···"

"Warning! The elevator was damaged in many places··· Zizi··· Please contact the maintenance staff..."

"Well, who's talking, where is the phone bug hiding?"

While Oni was curiously looking left and right, Rosie had already put her domineering power out on the boat under her feet.

"Hold on, if I'm right, it's going to be-"

"Anti-gravity system... Start···"

"Zizi... Have a nice trip..."

Bang

With a strange tremor, the Jackdaw Flamingo left the water out of thin air and began to accelerate its ascent! At the same time, in the huge gaps that cracked out from the outside, there was a constant gust of wind pouring into the pipes.

"No wonder,"

As the ship tossed violently and rose, Rosie nodded calmly.

What is the 'Western Heaven', it turned out to be an equatorial orbital elevator made by the 'Great Kingdom' to transport supplies to the 'Sky Island' above the sky.

It is a pity that the great kingdom has been erased from history.

And this high-tech rail elevator has obviously been hit by war in the past. Coupled with the fact that there has been no one to maintain it for 800 years, it is already a miracle that it can still work.

"The bumps are too hard!"

Oni, who was trying to stabilize the hull, experimented for a while and then simply gave up.

"Think of a way, Rosie—"

"Shouldn't this be your navigator's business?"

In the face of Oni's request for help, Rosie, who held her hands on her chest, replied firmly.

"Even if there are no currents, the wind alone can control the boat, and even the weather..."

"That navigator has the ability?"

Oni complained that she couldn't, and she wanted to say 'the concubine can't do it', but the ship has been rising at a high speed in this huge pipeline, with the strength of Rossi and Diamanti, even if there is an accident to protect herself, but she will...

"By the way, there's this."

After a few fiddling on the rudder, the Jackdaw Flamingo, which was constantly bubbling in the wind blown by the gaps around the pipes, suddenly spread its pitch-black wings—

Crash

On either side of this ship, there are folded black wings,

Although it has never been used before, the Jackdaw Flamingo can be glided!

With her wings spread, Oni held the rudder with both hands, allowing the ship to continue to gallop up in the chaotic winds, really: to lift up, to borrow the feathers of the sky.

"Hee-ha, Miss Ben is really a genius~~"

Facing the smug Oni, Rosie rolled her eyes. I don't even know what the function of the ship is, you can only be regarded as a navigator... It's OK.

Propelled by a damaged anti-gravity system, the ships in the giant pipes jolted and soared, while the cracked gaps in the outer walls continued to be flooded by strong winds, and it was estimated that it was only a matter of luck for someone else.

Oni was able to stabilize the ship, in addition to the fact that the ship itself was made by 'Treasure Tree Adam', and the various high-tech blessings of the shipwright Tom and Dr. Tie Steno, there is also the credit of her as a navigator.

soon

"Zizi... Arriving at your destination... Bica..."

brush

The speeding ship lit up all around, flying out of the huge circular hole. After crossing a parabola in the air, it landed on the white 'sea of clouds' with a bang!

"Is there really an ocean of clouds?"

Bumpy all the way, still lying on the mast easily, the cat-eared girl finally stood up,

When you look up, everything you see is white.

"Be careful, these seas of clouds are full of crystals like 'pyrobroin', and falling into them is no different from falling into the sea for those of our abilities."

Of the four people who traveled this time, only the weakest Oni was a non-capable person, and the other three were all standard landlubbers. Even Gary, a robot, is the same, although it will not drown, it can only be used as a broken metal at the bottom of the sea.

"The long-lost Qinghai people,"

At this time, a ship... No, it should be said that a giant lobster with a body length of more than two hundred meters galloped forward, and on it stood a dozen people dressed in white toga robes like ancient Rome, holding spears, and a pair of small wings like swans on their backs.

"If you want to visit Bicca, let us lead the way, if you want to raid—"

The leader glanced up at the mast of the Jackdaw Flamingo, which was fine, and there was no skull flag on it.

"Then I'll trouble you,"

Rosie nodded calmly, and the dozen or so Sky Islanders tapped their spears, and the giant lobster under their feet immediately approached the 'Jackdaw Flamingo', lifted the ship directly on his carapace with his double pincers, and then sped in one direction.

During this period, more than a dozen Sky Island warriors on the back of the lobster quietly looked at Rosie and the others.

There were only four people on deck, and although none of them seemed to be easy to mess with, the number was too small. Even if there were other people in the cabin, there was nothing to fear.

As everyone knows, the four of Rossi are worthy of thousands of troops!

As the Sky Island creature named 'Express Shrimp' lifted the 'Jackdaw Flamingo and flew all the way through the sea of clouds, soon a white island outline appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Bica?"

Rosie, standing at the bow of the boat, muttered to herself,

There is more than one empty island, and the future Straw Hat Regiment arrived at an empty island called 'Angel Island', and next to Angel Island is half of the 'Gaya Island' that has been washed into the sky, which is also the former 'Golden Township' Chandora.

Whether it's the huge amount of gold that can be used to make spaceships, or the legendary 'Golden Bolt', it's located there.

And the empty island called 'Bica' in front of me is different:

It is full of ancient Greek style, with high and low buildings sandwiched between many trees. The white columns are stacked with drum-like blocks, and the huge temple-like buildings supported by caryatids are located on the top of the mountain, and the figures under the triangular eaves are floating...

However, these buildings are not carved out of rock, and look more like:

"Solid clouds?"

Faced with Diamanti's doubts, Rossi nodded.

"That's right, the buildings of the Sky Island are all made of 'clouds': as I said before, when the water mist with the 'pyrobroin' crystal as the core gathers to a certain extent, it will not only become a 'sea of clouds' under your feet, but even a 'cloud island'."

Fortunately, these 'cloud soil' that has condensed into a solid state will not suppress the ability, otherwise the three of Rossi will be blinded.

"This Qinghai brother, you know a lot."

On the giant lobster, the leader tilted his head to look at Rosie on the deck.

"You must know that most of the Qinghai people who went up to the sea of clouds are either crazy and say that they have reached the 'kingdom of heaven', or they are trying to attack us."

"All horrors come from the unknown."

Standing on the deck of the Jackdaw Flamingo, Rosie shook his head,

"I know very well that you are only 'humans', and the formation of this island is also based on science, so naturally you will not do anything unwise."

"That's good,"

The captain of the Sky Island team nodded, although they are not thirsty for killing, but if they encounter pirates who want to 'get rich', they don't mind letting the other party experience a free fall at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

"It's here, welcome to the god-protected Sky Island: Bika!"

On the beach made up of solid clouds, there are many children playing, and farther away, there are adults on the island of Sky Island cutting the cloud island into squares to be used as building 'materials', and it looks like a peaceful ordinary city.

As Express Shrimp placed the Jackdaw Flamingo on the shore of Cloud Island, Rosie tilted his head to the others.

"Let's go, let's see the Sky Island."

As the so-called artist is bold, Rosie directly lowered the anchor.

Because there is air below the sea of clouds, Rosie directly threw a few hundred catties of anchor to the shore of Cloud Island, and sank into the solid cloud island with a pop, and the captain of Bikakong Island next to him frowned.

brush

With a slight jump, the four of Rossi jumped off the boat and walked towards the strange city in front of them.

"Alert! Alert!

”

"There are technological creations approaching, there are technological creations approaching, expelled! Banish!

”

？

Just as they stepped on the shore, on the bell tower next to them, a macaw suddenly made a sharp sound, which made all the Bika people who heard this sound stunned.

And then:

"Ahhhhh

"There's science and technology, there, there..."

"All civilians go for refuge, the warriors of the gods line up, inform the priests—"

The leader of the Bika team, whose face changed drastically, shouted angrily, so that the chaotic crowd finally had a backbone, and when the ordinary people were running towards the building, the spears in the hands of the dozen or so Sky Island soldiers were aimed at the four of Rossi.

"Damn, I didn't expect you to carry an over-the-top 'technology' creation."

"Now, go back the way you came!"

In the distance were ordinary people fleeing for their lives, and in front of them were the soldiers of the sky island who were facing a great enemy, Rosie touched his chin, and turned his head to fall on the cat-eared girl behind him.

If you want to say that you have the most 'technological' content, it is undoubtedly Gary.

But:

"Don't get excited,"

Rosie lifted a finger,

"It seems that there are other 'rules' here that I don't know, let me hear about them."
