Chapter 33 The Sky Knight Arrives at the Sky Island(1/2)
"Huh, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect my prayers to be really useful." Usopp let out a long sigh. Although he didn't know why, the sudden disappearance of the vortex means he was saved.
"Although I don't want to hit you very much, the reason for calming down now is that the explosion at the bottom of the sea is about to begin!" Nami's voice couldn't help but tremble a little. Judging from her rich sailing experience, the explosion that will happen next will definitely be unprecedentedly powerful!
"Don't worry about Nami. The rising current that explodes next is a real current. I believe you can handle it as our navigator. And I am here, there is nothing to worry about!" Broly patted Nami and comforted her.
"Hahaha, don't hurry to leave, Luffy wearing a straw hat. You realize it! I'm here to get your head worth 100 million!" The black beard opened his big mouth, laughing arrogantly. A mere newcomer has a bounty of 100 million. This is God giving me pocket money!
Broly looked at the arrogant Blackbeard and smiled disdainfully. He knew that Blackbeard would definitely not catch up with him this time, and it wouldn't matter if he caught up with him. At worst, he could just send him to hell in advance.
Just as the Blackbeard's raft was about to approach the Merry, the sea suddenly shaking violently. Broly hugged Vivi and Nami with both hands and shouted to the others: "Everyone is fixing themselves soon! The upward current is about to start!"
When everyone heard Broly's call, they hurriedly did as they said. Then everyone felt an irresistible force coming from the soles of their feet. The upward rushing sea current was like a giant pillar that pushed the Merri up to the sky, and the huge wind pressure made everyone unable to open their eyes.
A few dozen seconds later, when everyone opened their eyes, they found that the Merri was sailing vertically.
"Wow! It's so fun! We've really flew into the sky!" Chopper shouted excitedly.
"It's really flying! It's great!" Weiwei responded happily.
"Qua!" Karuye stood at the bow of the boat and flapped his wings. As a bird, he would dream of flying. Although it was destined to only know how to swim.
"Huh, I was shocked and actually I knew it would succeed. When I was in the East China Sea, I used to rush to the sea to pick stars every day." Usopp saw that the danger passed and immediately started his old career. At least Chopper always looked at him with admiration.
"You are so happy too early! Didn't you notice the boat floating?" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, pointed at the front and was wailing and falling down. "If we don't solve this problem, we will fall like that sooner or later!"
"It's over, it's over now! If you fall from such a high sky, you will definitely die!" Usopp immediately started to wail again after hearing Sanji's words.
At this moment, Nami seemed to suddenly think of something and shouted to a group of messy guys on the boat: "Hurry up! Set sail!"
Although I don’t know what Nami is going to do, everyone still did it due to Nami’s usual resilience.
"Nami, is it really okay to open the sail in this situation?" Weiwei asked curiously. Not only Vivi, but everyone except Broly did not understand what the function of sailing in this situation was.
"This is not an ordinary water column but a sea soaring into the sky! The wind blowing below is an upward airflow formed by an explosion. As long as there is sea and wind, I can sail. I am a navigator on this boat. Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem!" Nami said confidently.
"Ah! Oops! The hull has left the water!" Chopper lay on the side of the ship and looked at the bottom of the ship that had already exposed the sea surface. His mind was full of the miserable situation of the sea king just now.
Usopp shouted loudly in his arms, his screams echoing through the sky again.
And at this moment, Usopp found that everyone was looking at him with an idiot's eyes, and then he looked around, wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that it's a ship flying!!!"
"Of course, the Merri is in a flying form now. Come on, Meli, let's fly to the sky island in one breath!" Luffy shouted loudly while sitting on his special seat.
I don't know how long it took, the Merri had reached the end of the rising current. When Merri rushed through the thick Jidi Cloud and stopped, everyone except Broly felt breathless. Zhuo Luo and others with strong physique were fine, but Usopp had collapsed directly on the deck.
"It seems that something happened, everyone is okay?" Zhuo Luo gasped. Now he felt that he was tired than fighting with MR1 in Alabastan.
"How could I have something wrong with you, Green Algae Head, be fine." Although Sanji had a little difficulty breathing, he would not forget to argue with Zhuo Luo.
"Brother Broly is so sad, what's going on?" Nami asked with difficulty breathing, and Vivi, who was on the side, was breathing heavily.
"Oh! This is just caused by thin oxygen at high altitude, it will be fine after a while!" Broly said that, and controlled his energy to relieve the pressure of the two women, and the two women adapted in a while.
After a period of adaptation, the others also returned to normal. "Hey, is this the empty island? There are no islands here? There are clouds everywhere, and we are actually sailing on the clouds!" Luffy stood on the side of the ship and looked around, trying to find the existence of the empty island.
"The recording pointer is still pointing above, and the sky island should be at the top. This should be in the middle of Jidiyun." Nami said after looking at the recording pointer on her wrist.
"Okay, then let's continue to move towards the Sky Island! Speed up!" Luffy sat on his special seat and issued a loud order.
"Oh!" everyone replied loudly.
"I really didn't expect that I could sail in the clouds one day. It was a great feeling. I just don't know if there would be an angel." Weiwei held her chin and looked at the clouds aroused by the Merri, and couldn't help but remember the story of heaven that she heard her father tell when she was a child.
"Angel! Hello, are you talking about beautiful angels? There will be beautiful angels here! It seems like taking a look at the angels!" Sanji, who suddenly heard a certain keyword, was immediately excited. Angels and mermaids are the ultimate dreams of every man! Sanji's mind was surrounded by a group of beautiful winged ladies, and immediately began to dance in a circle and excitedly.
The others were also excited to make a fuss, and Usopp looked at Bai Hai and jumped down to swim. However, because he had no bottom, he was finally rescued by Luffy and Robin.
Broly shook his head as he watched the crowd making trouble, sat down with Nami in his arms, and looked at the playful people with a smile on his face.
"Ah!! A cow just sank a ship, and now he is coming to us!" Chopper turned his head stiffly and pointed to a man with a cow-head mask who was flying over quickly.
"Hey, stop! What do you want to do?" Sanji shouted to the man.
The man rushed towards everyone without answering, and the three main combat forces of the Pirates were attracted to the battle with that person, but what happened next was completely beyond everyone's expectations. He thought it could be solved easily but was easily solved by the masked man.
"What's the reason for this?" Nami shouted in surprise.
"It should be due to hypoxia. Now they have not adapted to the high altitude environment." Seeing their performance, Robin immediately understood the key to the problem.
After killing Luffy and the other two, the masked man flew into the air and took down a cannon on his back and prepared to fire at the Merri.
"Not good! We are aimed!" Chopper immediately screamed when he saw the black muzzle.
"Don't worry! Brother Broly has passed." Weiwei reminded Chopper.
The masked man was about to open fire when he suddenly felt a pain behind his back and was kicked down and disappeared on the White Sea. Then Broly returned to the ship.
"Brother Broly is the most reliable!" Nami ran up and hugged Broly and said.
Broly touched Nami's head, then shouted to a knight riding a big bird in the sky, "Don't you come here for so long and say hello?"
"For the first time we met, the old Sky Knight." The knight commanded the big bird to land on, and jumped down from the big bird's back and bowed to everyone, "You are from Qinghai! Qinghai people like you will inevitably be unable to adapt to the thin air here when they first came to Baihai. In such a dangerous place, you can easily die, and finally you can only be buried in the belly of the empty fish. The old profession is a mercenary, and I can protect your safety (look at Broly), but you don't seem to need it very much, but I can also provide consulting services, 5 million icts each time!"
The situation was cold! Everyone looked at the Sky Knight with an inexplicable look, completely unaware of what he was doing.
Seeing everyone's strange reaction, thinking that they were not satisfied with the price, the Sky Knight hurriedly said, "No! This is the cheapest price, I will not be cheaper anymore!"
The old man was still talking about how difficult his life was, Sanji interrupted impatiently, "So what is that Exto?"
The old man said strangely: "Didn't you come here from the high-rise waters? You should pass by one or two small islands."
"What are you talking about, old man?" Luffy was completely confused.
"Wait! Are you saying there are other ways to come to this Kakuma? And there are one or two islands, are there many islands in Kakuma?" Nami asked immediately.
"Will you come here?" Sky Knight said in confusion.
"We came here by the ascending current." Robin said.
"It turned out to be from that monster. I didn't expect that there was someone with such courage!" Nami immediately rushed into Broly's arms with tears on her face when she heard this, "It turned out to be not an ordinary waterway! It was indeed true."
Then he turned around and grabbed Luffy and shook his eyes, "You guy wants us to die, why don't you collect more information before coming up?"
"Anyway, it's all up, it doesn't matter!"
Usopp next to him was lying on the deck and kept muttering: "The empty island is so scary."
"Are there any casualties?" asked the Sky Knight.
"No, everyone is here." Luffy, who was caught by Nami, replied.
"The other ways are not so good. Only a few of the hundred people can reach it at most. Although rising currents are dangerous, they will either die or all arrive. There are not many people who bet on 0 or 100 people, and you are also considered sailors with courage and strength!"
"I will come to help when I encounter danger. I originally had 5 million icts at a time, but this time I will give it to you as a gift." The Knight threw a whistle and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, where is your name?" Nami said anxiously.
"My old name is Goncole, and my partner is Pierre. It is a bird with horse fruit. Warriors, I wish you good luck!" After saying that, the old man flew away on the spotted horse turned into by the big bird.
Everyone looked at the so-called Tianma, which was not like a horse, and the bird was not like a bird, and sweat suddenly emerged from their foreheads.
"In the end, I still told us nothing." Robin said.
"Really." Weiwei echoed.
"Then call the old man back and ask!" After that, Luffy picked up the whistle and wanted to blow. Nami and Usopp immediately ran over, strangling their necks and pulling their mouths, making Luffy deformed.
"This is for us in a state of emergency!" Nami shouted.
As a result, several people competed for the whistle, and Nami finally hung it on the mast, and several people calmed down. Luffy, who wanted to blow the whistle the most, was transformed by Namei into a ranks with no right to blow.
After solving the whistle problem, Zhuoluo proposed to continue driving forward. Choba discovered clouds like a waterfall, so the Merri drove towards it.
The front of the ship was blocked by an oversized cloud. Out of curiosity, Luffy stretched out his arms and tried it, but found that it was very elastic, so the three of them ran up and started playing.
Usopp found a gate under the waterfall in front of him. He wanted to go over and take a look. The Merri slowly walked around the clouds, and the scene ahead became clearer and clearer.
It was a huge star-shaped gate with the words "Gate of Heaven". Everyone also found that the waterfall-shaped clouds were really waterfalls. After seeing the gate of Heaven, Usopp and others said that maybe everyone might be dead.
When the Merri entered the gate of heaven, an old woman with small wings walked out of the small door beside her. She walked out with her camera and took a snap of the people on the boat.
After the filming, the old lady put down the camera in her hand and said to everyone: "I am Amazon, the surveillance officer of the Gate of Heaven. Are you here to visit or to war?"
"If you want to say it's sightseeing, you can't say that." Nami said.
"We want to go to the Sky Island. Is there an Sky Island behind this gate?" Luffy asked.
"There is the following, so please pay one billion Yike in the national fee, this is the law," said the old woman.
"Billion?? How much is Bailey?" Usopp said in surprise. "No matter what, billion seems to be quite expensive." Chopper.
"Nine people are nine billion," Robin said.
"What if, I said, if we don't have money?" Nami asked with apologized smile.
"You can go up if you don't have money, and you can go down. I'm not a guard or a guard, it depends on your will." The old woman said expressionlessly.
Everyone was very happy when they heard this, "In this way, you are 9 people, right?" The old lady confirmed the number of people getting off the boat again.
"We are going to the Sky Island! But how do we go up? Luffy said with a puzzled look on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, two oversized pliers emerged from the bottom of the water, clamping the broken wings on both sides of the Merri.
"Famous product of Baihai! Special Express Shrimp!" said the old woman. The special Express Shrimp's head and body jumped out of the water and rushed out in an instant.
