Chapter 145 Soaring to the sky! The local gods are not very friendly
Shengdora River.
The Golden Dragon went downstream.
Ian and others have returned and are now ready to leave the country.
This is much easier than going upstream. After all, this river is not in the period of extreme water level decline in the future drought era. The water flow is very large, and the mighty water pushes the big ship quickly towards the estuary.
“Ga pa pa pa! Did you meet that guy too?”
Broki couldn’t help laughing when he heard Ian talking about his encounter with Crocodile. “He was a little timid. He chose to run away after Donli and I took action.”
”He has been away from the sea for too long,”
Ian commented on Crocodile calmly, “He seems to have forgotten what the laws of the sea are.”
In the final analysis, what would happen if Crocodile got Pluto?
Can he keep it? “But,”
Ian looked at the gorilla standing beside him, “Well done, Babanuki. No matter what, that guy is also a Shichibukai.”
”It’s all the power that you gave me, Lord Ian!”
Babanuki was very clear-headed and quickly expressed his loyalty, “Otherwise, how could I have the strength to fight against a guy of that level?”
”So how do you feel?”
Ian asked, “It’s been fused for so long, do you have any bad feelings?”
Babanuki said, “It was fine at the beginning, but the longer it lasted, the more I felt that I would be interfered with by the gorilla’s will.”
Ian nodded gently.
This is not surprising. After all, it is a complete fusion of two individuals. Although it is said that Babanuki’s will is dominant, it is impossible to say that it is not affected at all.
It seems that they cannot be fused for too long at a time, otherwise their will may be eroded.
In the end, you might end up like the jailer beasts in Impel Down who failed to awaken, with their humanity devoured by their beastly nature.
That would be meaningless.
”So Ian, where are we going next?”
Yamato asked impatiently, “Legislative Island?”
”Don’t worry,”
Ian smiled and shook his head, “Before going to Legislative Island, there are two more places to go.”
”Two places?”
Yamato blinked, “What are they?”
”The first place,”
Ian raised his right index finger, “How about going to the sky?”
”The sky?”
It is still necessary to go to Sky Island.
Ian doesn’t care about the Golden Country or anything like that. He has enough money, and there is no need to read the historical text that records the location of the Sea King.
But there is a place that Ian thinks is worth going to.
Bica.
Enelu’s hometown, Sky Island Bika, which was destroyed by Enelu six years before Luffy landed on Sky Island.
As for why it was this place, it was because Ian knew that in the original work, after Enelu and Luffy went to the moon, they found an underground ruin, and coincidentally, the name of that city was also called Bika.
It’s very interesting, right? The Golden Dragon went down the Santara River and soon approached the estuary.
But.
”Ian, there are naval warships blocking the way ahead.”
Lookout Violet turned around and said.
In front, at the estuary of the river, a number of naval warships were on standby, as if waiting for their arrival.
”Should we sink them? Brother Ian.”
Jack asked for advice.
“Don’t worry about them,”
Ian waved his hand, “Rush them.”
So, the Golden Dragon did not stop and rushed towards the naval warships with all its might.
It should be said that these naval warships were no different from chickens in front of the Golden Dragon. The length of dozens of meters was indeed quite good, but the Golden Dragon was a real sea fortress with a length of hundreds of meters!
Seeing the Golden Dragon ramming directly, the naval colonel stationed nearby, who had hurried over after hearing Ian’s arrival, immediately shouted in panic,
”Disperse! Disperse!”
They were not of the same scale at all, let alone colliding,Even if they just touched, all the warships would be smashed to pieces!
So, the naval warships that were blocking the way dispersed, allowing the Golden Dragon to rush out from the channel they had vacated.
When the giant ship passed by the warships, all the navy were on edge.
The huge hull brought them great psychological pressure, not to mention the dense gun cabins on the side of the big ship.
”Colonel! Do you want to open fire?”
A navy couldn’t help but ask for instructions.
”No! No! You must not open fire!”
The colonel jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and he almost gritted his teeth, “Let them go!”
”Without orders from above, it is not allowed to fight with the forces belonging to the Pirate Emperor!”
He knew very well that if they fought, they would only end up being annihilated.
Let them go?
The navy was at a loss.
What are we here for?
Are we here to see them off?
So, as the navy watched, the Golden Dragon sailed away.
Later.
Alabasta’s capital, Albana.
In the underground palace of the royal cemetery behind the palace.
Cobra brought the navy here.
“They took away the treasures left by our ancestors,” Cobra pointed to the empty area where a stone was originally placed. “Not to mention the large amount of ancient heritage stored here, there is also a huge gem dug out from the depths of the desert. The ancestors called it the Desert Star. It is said that the gem alone is worth buying a piece of sea. I don’t know where they knew it from.” The navy nodded, “I’m sorry, I really troubled you this time, Your Highness Cobra. We are too incompetent and failed to stop them.” Cobra shook his head, “The enemy is the Beast Pirates. The situation is already very good this time. At least they didn’t kill people.” The navy also sighed. They couldn’t do anything in front of Ian of Burning Sky. After sending the navy away, Cobra breathed a sigh of relief. This should be considered a trick, right? But he didn’t know that after he led the navy out of the underground palace. Someone else went there.
Crocodile stood in the empty underground palace, carefully looking at the area where the historical text was originally placed.
The historical text had indeed disappeared without a trace, but there was still a slight depression on the ground, which showed that a very heavy object had indeed been placed here.
”Desert Star?”
Crocodile sneered, then turned into yellow sand and disappeared.
He didn’t believe a word of Cobra’s words.
What he wanted must have been taken away by Ian!
Then this country is no longer worth staying in.
It’s time to go back!
No, it’s time to come back!
Golden Dragon.
After leaving Alabasta, the big ship headed straight towards the direction of Sky Island.
Since there is no permanent pointer, we left Alabasta too quickly, and the magnetic force of the pointer is not fully stored, so we can only rely on Violet to point the way.
Fortunately, the characteristics of the sky island are too obvious. The white sea suspended 7,000 meters above the sea surface and the white sea 10,000 meters above the sea surface are difficult for Violet to miss even if she wants to.
”So, is there really a sea of clouds in the sky?”
Hancock’s second sister, Sanda Sonya, is still a little unbelievable.
”There are two!”
Violet raised two fingers to remind her bestie, “They are both quite vast, and there are many islands on them!”
”Oh! Islands in the sky?”
Black Maria said with a smile, “It sounds really good.”
”Are there people living in the sky?”
Hancock is the third sister, Marigold asked.
“There are quite a lot of them.”
Violet said, “Many islands are inhabited by people, and they have wing-like decorations on their backs.”
The girls looked expectant.
That’s the world above the sky.
Not to mention them, even Ian was looking forward to it.
The kingdom above the clouds, this is a place that only appears in fairy tales.
Fortunately, this expectation did not take too long, a few days later. ”It’s here!”
Violet suddenly looked up, “Just above here is the place below.The edge of the sea of clouds!”
”Oh! Are we finally there?”
Yamato instantly became alert.
”Hehehehe! The legendary Sky Island?”
Dongli, who was arm wrestling with Brocky, turned back with a smile, “But how do we get up there?”
”Of course,”
Ian twisted his neck, “Fly up there.”
The next moment, golden light bloomed, and a huge golden flying dragon instantly spread its wings in the air.
”Hold on tight! ”
Then, Ian grabbed the Golden Dragon, strengthened the hull with his domineering power, and then flapped his wings.
Because the acceleration was too fast, a large number of pirates were slammed onto the deck, and even the two giants couldn’t help but stumble.
The huge warship had already soared into the sky with Ian, heading towards the depths of the sky like an arrow from a string.
”Hahaha! Let’s go to Sky Island!”
Yamato cheered, and climbed onto Ian’s head as nimbly as a monkey, looking up at the sky with great expectation.
Hancock was furious.
”Ga Ba Ba Ba! What an exaggerated power!”
Brocki was sighing at something else, “Such a huge ship, is it so effortless to carry it? ”
Even if it is a mutant among the giants, the ancient giants are far inferior to it, right? Ian just flapped his wings upwards.
The straight-line distance between the White Sea and the Qinghai Sea is only 7,000 meters. Even if he holds the Golden Flying Dragon, this distance is just a blink of an eye for Ian.
It is already clearly visible, that huge white ocean!
Then the next moment, Ian flew up from the edge of the ocean and finally overlooked the sea.
”Oh! So beautiful!”
Yamato, who was standing above Ian’s head, couldn’t help cheering.
The endless white sea of clouds slowly floated under the strong wind in the sky, just like really coming to heaven.
Well, is this description not very good?
Ian thought.
”The sea in the sky? ”
Luo stood by the side of the ship and couldn’t help but be surprised. He looked up and saw a layer of sea of clouds wriggling in the wind. “There is another one above.”
”This world is always crazier than we think.”
Beside him, Drake felt a lot.
The more you come into contact with this world, the more you will sigh at the splendor of this world.
”Violet,”
Ian looked down at the sea of clouds below and didn’t find the existence of the island at the first time. “Where is the nearest inhabited island?”
”About thirty nautical miles at two o’clock. ”
Violet answered immediately.
Ian did not hesitate, flapped his wings and moved forward, asking for directions first, to find out where Bica was.
At his speed, thirty nautical miles would only take a few minutes.
Soon, a white island appeared in front of Ian.
This is not a very big island, with a diameter of about two or three kilometers. It is all white, with only a little green in a few areas.
There is a small village on the island, and all the buildings are white, as if they were made of clouds.
When Ian landed on the shore of the island with the huge Golden Dragon, the whole island was boiling.
The residents on the island are not blind, they can naturally see the Golden Dragon as big as a mountain.
However, the residents on the island did not feel afraid of this, but gathered around like watching the excitement.
Then what they saw was.
”It’s really a cloud! ”
Yamato was jumping around on the beach of the cheerful island, just like playing on a trampoline.
Others were also groping around in surprise.
Especially the two giants, Dongli and Broki, who were rolling around on the beach like two little devils.
Well, giants and the Kingdom of Clouds really go well together.
”Of course it’s the cloud, this is the island cloud that is characteristic of Sky Island.”
While answering her, Ian looked at the residents approaching from the direction of the village.
Have you never seen Qinghai people? Not only are they not afraid, but they seem very interested.
The dress of these Sky Island people is similar to what Ian thought.
”This is really the sea, gurgle…”
Ian turned his head and couldn’t help but twitched his mouth, and found that Yamato had fallen in the shallow water of the beach.
Haiyun is both a cloud and a sea.
Pulling this guy out of the sea cloud, Ian carried her and walked towards the villagers.
All the villagers looked at him curiously.
”Can anyone tell me which direction Bika is?”
Ian said, “I can exchange Qinghai’s items with you.”
Whispers suddenly arose.
”Qinghai?”
”Are you from Qinghai? That’s amazing.”
People looked at Ian.
”The Qinghai people’s ship is so big! Amazing!”
People looked at the Golden Flying Dragon.
”The people of Qinghai are also so big! So amazing!”
People looked at the giants still rolling on the beach.
Finally, a trembling old man stood up and asked cautiously, “Are you going to Bika?”
“Yes.”
Ian nodded.
The old man kindly reminded, “The god who rules Bika, Enel, is a cruel man and has god-like power. It’s very dangerous there.”
”God?”
Yamato, who was held in Ian’s hand, looked up instantly, “It sounds interesting!”
Ian also smiled, “You just need to tell me the direction.”
So later, Ian took the Golden Dragon again and soared into the sky, heading towards a certain direction in this sea area.
Only this small island was left, and the villagers’ eyes were full of surprise when they saw a bunch of things from Qinghai.
”Oh! Qinghai’s food! Incredible!”
”Qinghai’s clothes are also incredible!”
”Qinghai’s weapons are still incredible!”
Bika.
This is an island located near the center of the White Sea.
According to the old man, Bika is the largest country in the entire White Sea. Only Angel Island and God Island on the upper White Sea can compare with it.
The distance is not that far, just over a hundred nautical miles.
Ian flew with his head down, and in a short while, the island appeared in front of him.
It is indeed quite large, with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. It is still white, but a large number of buildings can be clearly seen.
So, should I say hello first? Hmm? Ian looked up.
A few seconds ago.
In the depths of Bika, in a luxurious palace.
The man who was revered as a god opened his eyes.
“Yahahaha! You dare to trespass into my kingdom without permission, then turn into dust, ant.”
He casually swung his right hand toward the sky, and the next moment, this arm had turned into lightning and rushed into the sky.
”God’s punishment.”
Time goes back to the present.
Ian raised his head.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and it smashed down on him.
”Oh?”
Ian chuckled.
The local gods don’t seem to be very friendly.
I was planning to say hello first.
However, the range and attack range covered by this observation Haki are really no joke.
