Across the sea of clouds and mist, you will find the Sky Island ‘Paradise Mountain’.
This is an extremely large island of clouds and mist. Yes, there is no soil, just endless 'island clouds'. The solid white clouds not only serve as the foundation to carry the entire kingdom, but are also efficiently cut and assembled into various shapes.
Various cloud buildings.
The 'island clouds' that make up Sky Island are not the same as the 'sea clouds' that make up Kukai. This is because the condensation nuclei that create the clouds are different. Kailou Stone contains a component called 'salt rock particles'.
The horny particles were ejected into the sky due to volcanic eruptions, and changed density when they condensed with water vapor, thus forming sea clouds and island clouds.
Artificial clouds are created by cutting and compressing island clouds to change the density. The organization responsible for this work is called the "Cut Cloud Field". Artificial clouds are widely used in buildings and surface construction, and their hardness is the same as that of conventional rocks.
.
One of the traditions of the Kukai people is to wear wing-like decorations on their backs. Sinners who have been exiled or sentenced to heinous crimes are not eligible to wear wing decorations. Wings can be large or small. Generally speaking, taller people like to wear them.
Large wings, and vice versa. The wings on the back of 'Monk' Urki are large-sized wings, which are sold at the 'Flying Wing Star' store in Sky Island's Paradise Mountain.
Various ships are moored at the sacred pier of Paradise Mountain, including the Beagle and the Prajna Ship of the Broken Ring Pirates.
"...So, a big incident happened in Fanyunwuhai 4 years ago?"
On the dreamy white street, Victor and his group were sitting at a round table in a street cafe with Urki, a 'weird monk', chatting. Victor took a sip of the coconut juice, a specialty of Sky Island, in the cup, and then asked.
"Yes, there is a large sky island called 'Bika' not far from Heaven Mountain."
Urki nodded: "There are abundant products there, and it was originally a famous trading city. But one day four years ago, terrifying lightning fell from the sky, and the entire Bika Kong Island and its residents disappeared, and no one survived."
"Thunder?" Robin and Victor looked at each other.
Ulki said with lingering fear: "That day I planned to go to Bika to meet someone, but I encountered the Kukai Beast and was delayed for a long time while sailing, and then I escaped. People said it was [divine punishment], but I don't believe it.
There must be some unknown powerful force that destroyed Bika, maybe it was a Devil Fruit."
"Then let me ask, what was wrong four years ago?" Victor asked slowly, rubbing his chin.
Urki thought for a moment and then said: "... When it comes to abnormalities, does the 'Kukai Current' that occurs every four years count?"
"What is Kukai Ryu?" Maihonghime asked curiously.
"The Kukai Current refers to the phenomenon where two independent Kukai areas converge and merge briefly. At that time, the two Kukai areas will exchange sea clouds with each other, and navigators can also take this opportunity to travel to other Kukai areas."
Urki suddenly frowned: "You mean... the murderer who destroyed Bika took this opportunity to go to other Kukai? If this is the case, it is very possible. Otherwise, how could the Xianglong clan have been able to survive for 4 years?
The murderer can't even be found..."
"The possibility is very high." Victor nodded: "Which sea of empty did you cross the sea of clouds and mist at that time?"
"White Sea."
Urki said with certainty: "It is the only Kukai that owns the 'earth', and it has special significance to other Kukai people."
"Huh? Monk, didn't you just say that there is no such thing as 'soil' in Kukai?" Perona's eyes widened, feeling that her IQ had been insulted.
"Yes, the 'earth' can only bring a little bit when the sea currents shoot up into the sky, so for all Kukai people, the 'earth' is a very, very precious thing."
Urki's face was solemn: "But the White Sea is different! There is a huge and complete 'earth' there! This is a gift from the gods! Therefore, the rulers of the past generations of the White Sea called themselves 'gods' and occupied this land.
The land given to me.”
Robin frowned: "It doesn't make sense. How can there be a complete land in the sky? According to Mr. Urqui's description, this is clearly an entire island."
"What if it's a sky current?" Victor crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair: "The entire island was transported to the sky by the powerful impact of the sky current and then landed on a large island cloud. This makes sense.
Already."
"Brother!" Perona suddenly slapped the table excitedly and stood up: "There must be a treasure there!"
Victor smiled: "Ah, we have the same idea. The next stop will be Baihai."
"Oh~ it's a long-lost treasure hunting adventure!" Wu Hongji was also very excited: "I haven't participated in a treasure hunting adventure since my trip to Vidikkal three years ago. I'm so looking forward to it!"
Robin had already taken out the small notebook on his chest and began to plan his next action.
Urki scratched his head and had to interrupt the excitement of several bosses: "Uh, interrupt me. There are still four months until the next Kukai Current. Do you plan to stay in Paradise Mountain for so long?"
"Four months, that means the distance is very close, right?" Victor's focus was completely different.
"That's true, but there is an endless sky between the sky and the sea. You are not flying birds..." Ulki felt that although these blue sea people were strong enough, there seemed to be something wrong with their brains.
"This is not a problem~" Perona looked like a country bumpkin: "Otherwise, how do you think we came from the blue sea?"
"???"
Ulki looked confused: "Isn't it the Soaring Sea Current or the Cloud River? These should be the only two ways to get from the Blue Sea to the Kukai."
Wu Hongji had a smile on her face: "No, there is another kind - flying! Haven't you seen it, a flying ship?"
"..." Ulki was silent for a while, then suddenly left the table and walked to Victor. He knelt down neatly on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the white artificial cloud floor tiles, and said in a deep voice: "Please take me with you.
Go, go to the White Sea!"
"Oh? Reason." Victor shook the cup in his hand playfully, and the translucent coconut juice sloshed on the wall of the cup.
"My master was also in Bika at that time!" Ulki, whose forehead touched the ground and veins appeared on his neck, said loudly: "His old man picked me up after my hometown was destroyed and worked hard to raise me! The result was not waiting for me
I respect his old man, but he and Bika were destroyed by thunder from the sky! I am not willing to accept it. I have been looking for the murderer who destroyed Bika for four years. I implore you to take me to the White Sea with you! I will go there to find the murderer.
!”
Victor chuckled lightly: "Don't forget, you planned to rob us before, but I kindly let you go. And...how do you know that I didn't go to the White Sea to recruit the strong man who can destroy Sky Island?"
"You are the kind of chivalrous knight, I can see it!" Ulki raised his head and looked directly into Victor's eyes, and said decisively: "I am willing to disband the Broken Monk Pirates immediately, and serve under your command from now on.
Your mission! Please take me there!"
As he spoke, he hit his forehead hard on the hard cloud brick.
Victor sighed and turned to look at the other three people.
Wu Hongji and Robin smiled and said nothing, while Perona put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Why are you looking at us? You know we all listen to you!"
Victor looked back at Ulki, who remained motionless on his knees, and said softly: "...Yes, but the rest of your life will belong to me."
"Yes!" Ulki's voice was firm and powerful.
On this day, people in Paradise Mountain saw a real miracle——
