Chapter 105: The First Sky Island
"I feel that after the captain became the Nanakukai, sailing became boring......
On the deck of the Gospel, Rhea was sitting by the fence on the deck, his legs shaking through the fence, his chin just resting on the fence:
"After so many days, I can't even see a pirate ship that wants to plunder us, are the pirates of the Great Voyage all cowards?"
"This is the majesty of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty......"
Not far from Rhea's side, Robin was sitting under the parasol flipping through a book, and when he heard Rhea's complaints, he took the opportunity to explain:
"After all, it is an important intermediate force to compete with the Four Emperors, and everyone who can become the Seven Martial Seas represents absolute strength, and it is not an existence that ordinary pirates can provoke at all.
Therefore, even if they are dissatisfied with the captain and us, they will not show it alone. β
If Orn was here, he would definitely be able to understand the deep meaning of the second half of Robin's words, but unfortunately, at this time, he was practicing daily with Yamato in the moving castle, so on this gospel, only Rhea, a simple-minded lion girl, was willing to listen to Robin.
"However, it's really boring, there are no pirates to fight us, and every day except for cultivation is in a daze on the ship, this kind of life is really boring."
Shout!
The whistle of the cannon ejection came from the watchtower overhead, and immediately after, a figure jumped down from the watchtower, and a cold voice rang out:
"Here's something interesting."
Rumble~
Almost as soon as Peyton's voice rang out, the roar of a cannonball explosion was heard overhead.
Immediately after, countless fragments fell from above, as if a rain of broken wood had fallen overhead.
Rhea subconsciously looked up and found that in the sky above his head, a large ship similar in size to the Gospel had fallen at some point, and the decaying hull of the ship had been blasted to pieces by Peyton's previous characteristic cannonball, and several large fragments were falling rapidly towards the Gospel.
"Isn't it boring, you'll be left to clean up those shipwrecks."
Peyton, who jumped off the watchtower, hid in the aisle sheltered by the eaves of the cabin at some point, and was indifferently giving orders to Rhea.
"I'll clean you up later!"
Rhea bared his teeth at Peyton viciously, but he still quickly turned on the Lion King and rushed into the air with a shaved leap.
Eight punches. Showers!
Rhea's figure swayed among the falling wrecks, fists flying in the air, and the fragments of the shipwrecks that might have threatened the Gospel were blasted into powder.
Get!
After landing on the ground, Rhea touched his nose with his index finger, then rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Payton with a sinister smile.
Undeterred, Peyton pulled out a piece of rune paper from his waist and placed it on a cannonball he was clutchingβit was Orn who used the blaster. A detonation charm made from droplets.
Noticing this action of his, Rhea couldn't help but pout:
"It's so boring, you can't afford to joke at all?"
She had seen the power of Peyton's detonator cannonball during her previous two days of sailing, a large sea beast that did not know whether to live or die, and was more than a hundred meters in size.
Rhea originally planned to fight hard with him to test his strength at this stage.
Before she could do anything, Payton fired a special cannonball with a detonator on it.
The cannonball with the detonator on it could actually produce two explosions after hitting the sea beast's mouth, directly blasting the huge sea beast into pieces from the inside out, and the stench of blood splashed Rhea's head and face.
Peyton didn't answer her words, but said lightly:
"Go and call the captain and co-captain."
"Do what?" Rhea asked angrily.
"We've arrived at our destination."
"Where? I can't even see a ghost, let alone an island. β
Peyton didn't reply, just raised the record pointer on his wrist at Rhea - the pointer pointed clearly in the direction of the sky.
"It's time to call the captain and let them out." Robin, who was on the side, also closed the book in his hand and stood up at this time:
"We seem to have run into an empty island."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Sky Island?!"
Yamato's eyes that came out of the moving castle lit up visibly.
Robin explained what she knew:
"To be precise, it should be a sea flying in the sky, this is a very old legend......"
"I know, I've read the account of Sky Island!" Yamato interrupted her and said excitedly:
"In the diary that Ota wrote, the diary said that he and the people of the Roger Pirates flew up thousands of miles in the sky on the skyrocketing current, and saw a magical island in the clouds!"
'Huh?' One Piece's Gore. D. Roger? Robin let out an exclamation.
Peyton on the side was also full of shock.
Because of the late boarding time, they only vaguely knew that their deputy captain was noble, and he was the daughter of the Four Emperors and Beasts Kaido, but they didn't know about the things between Ota and Roger, and they didn't know that Yamato actually had Ota Voyage Diary.
"Well, that's that Roger, the senior I admire very much, Mitsuki Mita, is his crew! He also wrote a nautical diary while sailing with Roger. β
Yamato was a little excited to Robin about Mita, but because of Aoun's influence, she no longer said that Okita was her idol, and she would no longer say that she was going to become Mitsuki Mita.
Orn was very happy with this situation, as for letting Yamato completely draw a line with Mitsuki Mita, that kind of thing was impossible, and Aoun didn't want to ruin the relationship between him and Yamato because of this kind of thing.
Over there, Yamato and Robin, the best friends, had just made an agreement to "please read Ota Diary next", and Yamato fell on Orn's shining eyes again:
"Orn, let's go check it out too, the island in the sky that only Ota and Roger have seen!"
Aoun has never had much resistance to Yamato's rare appearance of his little daughter, not to mention that he still thinks about the illness of the middle two who claims to be a "god" on the Sky Island:
"That's a matter of course, this kind of scenery that ordinary people can't see once in their lives, of course we have to go and see it."
Seeing that Orn agreed to his request, Yamato couldn't help but feel a little distressed while being excited:
"Just, where are we going to look for the cupola current? Mita's diary doesn't say how they found the Cupola Current. β
Hearing this, Orn subconsciously reached out and rubbed her slightly curly silver hair:
"Have you forgotten that we still have a moving castle? After putting the boat away, it is not a big problem to fly up to 10,000 meters in the air. β
It was still a little difficult to fly 10,000 meters in the air with just steam power before getting the Light and Heavy Contract from Miss. Valentine's Day, but after obtaining the Light and Heavy Contract, it was much easier to do so with a moving castle that was ten times lighter.
As he spoke, Orn had already taken out the Moving Castle.
Enter the mobile castle first, under the operation of Orn, the mobile castle first slowly rose into the air, and then continued to grow larger, only a minute or two of effort, it turned into a super large air fortress covering an area of hundreds of meters.
Sneer~
The dock below the castle opened, and the Gospel and Yamato and others were easily taken into the mobile castle.
"Peyton, show me the way, and then we're heading for Sky Island!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Huh~ Is this the empty island? It's so beautiful, it's white everywhere. β
Seven thousand meters in the air, Rhea and Yamato, who had just crossed the White Sea, were holding on to the fence of the castle terrace, stretching their necks and looking into the distance.
Looking at the white clouds floating around the castle, Yamato couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Soft, cool and a little damp to the touch, she couldn't help but probe her hand into Baiyun's body again.
It's just that when she stretched out most of her arms, she suddenly frowned:
"Something is wrong, my body suddenly became so weak, is there a Hailou Stone hidden in this cloud?"
Just as Yamato was hurriedly withdrawing his hand, Robin's voice sounded at the right time:
"It's not an empty island yet."
While looking at the pure white in front of her, she looked down at the Mita diary she had just obtained from Yamato, and said as she spoke:
"This is supposed to be the white sea recorded in the diary, and the clouds here contain the same substance as the sea...... Three thousand meters above here, there is also the White Sea, the center of the White Sea...... is the real destination of our trip, Sky Island. β
As Robin spoke, he suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest, and his eyes were in a trance, and he couldn't help but stumble to the side, and was supported by Orn's shoulder, so that he didn't fall on the deck.
Somewhat reluctantly re-distanced himself from Orn, Robin took a few hard breaths:
"You ...... Don't you feel unwell? β
"Uncomfortable?" Yamato was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, as long as you don't touch those clouds, there won't be any problems, and even the symptoms of seasickness don't appear." β
"The air here is too thin," Peyton, who had the penultimate physique on the ship, took a deep breath: "The worse the physique, the more unable to adapt to the environment here, and the captain's physical fitness is different from ordinary people, so they don't feel anything." β
At this point, Payton pointed not far away, where the five head chefs of the Flower Country were already lying in a row, and if it weren't for the constant heaving of his chest, Orn would almost have thought that the five old men had gone west.
"Do you need to stay here a little longer so that you can get used to the environment first?" Noticing that Peyton and Robin's faces were not very good-looking, Orn asked with some concern.
"No," Peyton said with a resolute gaze, "I'm not weak enough to even pull the trigger...... Moreover, this is also a practice, and I joined the pirate group for this reason. β
Robin also nodded at this time:
"Go ahead, I can keep going."
Seeing that both of them said this, Orn did not hesitate any longer, and after taking the Gospel out of the dock, he put away the mobile castle again:
"With the air so thin, the flight efficiency of the mobile castle will also be affected, so let's stay in the castle and rest, and then we will continue to sail towards the white sea."
