Thousands of meters high in the sky, Sanji was sitting on a flying golden pedestal, holding a green phone bug in his hand, looking up at the endless thick clouds just around the corner.
Just by listening to these flowing clouds with your ears, you can hear the sounds inside them that sound like the churning of sea currents, and you can also see with the naked eye the large and small shadows passing by from time to time inside them with the naked eye...
Is it a school of fish?
As a Devil Fruit user, Sanji did not act rashly, so he temporarily stopped under the thick clouds.
At the door of Telephone Bug Castle, Robin said: "This should be 'Sea Cloud'. Its properties are the same as the sea..."
"That's going to be difficult!" Sanji scratched his head.
With a thought in his mind, he controlled the thick gold pedestal he was sitting on to change its shape, expand to all sides, and slowly turn into a rolled golden hollow ball.
"Although I can do this to isolate these things... However, I am not sure whether the gold will lose its effectiveness after contact with 'sea water' and will not be controlled by me... Hey, do you want to give it a try?"
"Try it!" Luffy shouted excitedly at the door of Telephone Bug Castle, "The sky island should be up there, right?"
Bang bang! Next to Nami, Usopp punched him left and right, and said angrily: "Try it! If you fail, everyone will fall down, you know what happened here
Is it high?!"
The chestnut-headed man Meng Brown raised his head and said: "It seems that the only way is to go back to the sea and try to reach the sky..."
"Don't want that!" Usopp and Nami raised their hands in tears, "It feels more dangerous!!"
"So what should we do next?" Zoro asked.
Chopper looked up at Robin.
Robin thought for a while, raised his hand in front of everyone, and used the petals to condense a vivid little fish, "Let's do this...Sanji, you continue to wrap everyone in gold, control the gold to continue flying upward through the sea clouds, and I
It will create a layer of empty shells of large fish to wrap around the golden sphere to prevent the gold from being out of your control when it comes into contact with seawater." Nami, Usopp and the others exclaimed: "Robin, you are so powerful! You can do this too.
"?" Luffy looked at the fish in Robin's hand and pondered: "Can this thing be eaten?" Chopper was startled by him, "Eh?!"
Robin said outside the castle: "The clone I created will not be immediately deactivated by the sea water. You can rest assured about this."
A thumb was handed over outside the castle in front of everyone, and Sanji's happy voice came: "Sister Robin, you are so reliable!"
The light outside the castle quickly dimmed. The hollow sphere made of gold by Sanji was completely closed.
Robin closed his eyes, and on the outside of the golden sphere, he used the flower fruit's ability to create a living body of a large sea beast. The weight of the entire sphere suddenly sank, and Sanji knew that Robin had protected the golden sphere.
Okay. And soon, everyone in the Telephone Bug Castle once again felt a slight sense of weightlessness. They knew that Sanji led them upward into the sea composed of white clouds according to Robin...
"Keep going up..."
Robin opened flower eyes on the body of the sea beast that wrapped the golden ball, and observed the distance of the golden ball's "rising". At the same time, he also reported the progress of the "rising" to Sanji, who was controlling the golden ball outside...
Montblanc looked at all this and admired secretly.
Not long after, Robin opened his eyes and said: "Leaving the surface of the sea cloud..."
Without her reminder, when Sanji felt the change in strength required to control the gold, he guessed that it was because it was out of the buoyancy of the sea of clouds. He controlled the hollow golden sphere, opened it from the top, revealing the hollow and fading to the surroundings... Suddenly
, a completely white world was displayed in front of everyone. Sanji and the phone in his hand stretched their heads and widened their eyes at the door of the insect castle. They were all shocked by the spectacular scene in front of them. The boundless
In the ocean composed of white clouds, there are living fish surging.
“This is Sky Island?!”
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were holding each other's arms, shouting and jumping. Robin estimated the process from leaving the sea level to getting here, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid we haven't arrived yet. The best we can do here is no more than
The altitude is seven thousand meters above sea level, and as far as I know, the sky island with human life in the usual sense... should be at an altitude of ten thousand meters above sea level."
"So high?!" Nami was surprised. She poked her head out of the main portal and looked up. "There is also a layer of white above...which means there is a sea of clouds above? You have to pass through the upper layer to reach it.
An empty island?"
The miniature Miss Nami is so cute too...!!! Sanji breathed quickly as he looked at the orange-haired girl peeking out of the small hole in the Telephone Bug Castle.
Montblanc said: "It still has to go up three thousand meters."
Luffy smiled and raised his fist and shouted: "Sanji! Fly higher!!!"
"no problem."
Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled, the sunlight above his head gradually weakened, and he once again wrapped it into a sphere with gold...
"Go to Sky Island~Go to Sky Island~Go to Sky Island!!"
In the Telephone Bug Castle, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were singing and dancing, looking forward to and excited.
"It's so noisy! Can you be quiet for a while?!" Nami yelled angrily, "Huh?" She was startled, "What's wrong?" Luffy and the others also felt that the castle seemed to shake slightly.
Outside, inside the dimly lit empty gold sphere, Sanji, who was holding the phone in the bug castle, was also confused. Why did he seem to... hit something? Can't he fly?
"We touched the bottom of the island cloud in the sea of clouds." Robin's voice came from the darkness nearby.
Sanji knew that Robin must have used his power to create a mouth on the inner wall of the gold to send messages, "Move directly in front of where you are facing...about fifty meters, and then continue to control the golden ball to float upward."
"Okay." Sanji followed the prompts and used the golden fruit ability.
I can't see my fingers inside the golden sphere. Sister Robin can also know which way my face is facing? Sanji silently thought to himself, is this the power of seeing and hearing? Luffy and Green Algae Head seem to have mastered it. I
And must not be left behind...
…
When the golden ball slowly unfolded and faded again, revealing the scenery outside, what you could see was not only the endless sea of white clouds around it that was similar to before, but also the vast and clear blue sky above.
"I can see the sky! It seems that this is the highest place that can be reached..." Nami looked outside, turned around and said with joy, "That's great, Sister Robin. Thanks to you, everything went smoothly."
"You're welcome. I want to come up and have a look myself." Robin patted the castle wall and said, "Little Green, let the Merry go."
Before she could finish her words, a red figure flew past.
"Empty Island!!!"
Luffy was so excited that he jumped out of the door of the Telephone Bug Castle, forcing his whole body to return to its original shape.
"Hey! Idiot!" Usopp stretched out his hand and shouted, "You are an esper, don't run around!!"
Suddenly, the Meili was also thrown out of the Telephone Bug Castle, and landed on the sea of white clouds with a bang. Sanji, who was stepping on the suspended gold base, was originally trying to draw a line of golden generals that were too restless.
When Luffy was caught back, Luffy was already jumping on a white cloud, happily waving to him, "Sanji, come and see, this cloud is so soft! Haha."
Ha ha……"
Is this the Shima Cloud that Sister Robin just talked about? Sanji has a black head, and Luffy is really lucky. He just jumped to the Shima Cloud where he can stay.
Soon, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, Montblanc, and Robin also jumped out of the Telephone Bug Castle. Of course, they only arrived when Sanji put Xiao Green on the Merry ship.
from.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! It's all white..." Nami stretched happily. "It's like heaven... Luffy, I want to jump too!" Usopp jumped down excitedly.
In the sea of clouds, I swam to Luffy's bouncing island cloud. "Heaven?!" Chopper was still surprised by Usopp's words just now, "Are we already dead?" Zoro used the scabbard of his sword.
He gave it a look and said, "Stop talking nonsense, how can heaven be so easy to find?"
Robin turned around and saw "B.I.B" who had been practicing silently on the edge of the excitement, and also turned into a black ghost and flew out of Xiaolu's inner castle.
"Let's take a rest." It said, "I'm a little interested in the little mermaid that Montblanc is looking for."
Robin smiled faintly for the first time in a long time, "Yes, she is a little girl after all..."
"Do you still remember this joke?"
"B.I.B" shook its head, it was just wondering why the mermaid Kemi, whom Luffy and the others met in the "Champaign Islands Chapter", somehow came to the "Sky Island Chapter" to make a guest appearance in advance?
As the Meili drifted in the wind on the White Sea, Robin said to himself: "How could I forget..."
Suddenly, Nami exclaimed from the boat: "Uncle Lizitou, what are you going to do?"
It turned out that Montblanc was stepping on the side of the boat, flexing his muscles and bones, as if he wanted to jump off and take a swim.
"Of course I am looking for the little mermaid," Montblanc chewed on his cigarette, "This is the reason why I have to come, and it is also my responsibility..."
"Wait a minute! Is there someone over there?"
Sanji, who was flying around on the golden base, suddenly shouted, "Miss Nami, can you drive the Merry over there a little, so that the angle is just right so you can see it?"
Sure enough, when Nami moved the Meili a little, she saw a little red-haired girl wearing a headscarf at the corner of the white island clouds, looking at them with vigilance and curiosity.
"You really met a little girl when you came up?!"
"B.I.B" was stunned. Although it was a battle armor, its eyes didn't really widen...
"Is this the Sky Islander?" Chopper looked at the vigilant human girl.
Zoro touched his chin, "But, it doesn't look any different from us..."
The little red-haired girl wearing a turban looked at the people on the Meili warily and asked curiously: "Are you from the Blue Sea?"
"Blue sea?" Nami, Sanji and the others had questions.
Robin said: "The residents of Sky Island call the area under 10,000 meters the blue sea, and this is the white sea."
"No, this is the White Sea." The red-haired girl on the island cloud made a face, "The White Sea is further down here."
"Is that so?" Nami felt curious, "Yes, we are Lanhai people who have just arrived here. I have many things to ask you. Why are you running away?!"
The red-haired girl turned around and ran away. Nami wanted to chase after her, but Robin held her back, "Wait a minute, Nami... there seem to be many people in the direction that girl went." Robin asked doubtfully, "Why?
?The location is a bit wrong..."
"Location?" Nami knew that Robin must have done what she said before on Gaya Island. According to her habit, she first explored the island she was about to land on. "What's wrong?"
"The height is wrong..." Robin looked steadily at the accumulated and bulging island clouds in front of the red-haired girl who stopped, "I know, they hollowed out the island clouds and opened up space for living inside.
The place...is this like this?"
"...?!" The red-haired girl Aisha looked back at Robin on the side of the boat and said in disbelief, "Can you also use the 'Heart Network'? But you are obviously from Blue Sea..."
Robin said: "If I explain it to you, in exchange, can you introduce us to the situation on the empty island where you live?"
Aisha frowned and said: "Alas..."
It's so annoying to her, why do the few people from Lan Hai that she meets randomly have the same feelings for her?
The location of the village was suddenly exposed to the woman's inner network!
Even if you turn around and run away now, the other party will find the village soon, right?
"Don't worry, little girl." Sanji squatted on the suspended golden base and smiled kindly, "We are not bad people."
"We are pirates, right? We are bad people." Zoro complained on the boat. "Don't make trouble, Green Algae-head!" Sanji turned around unhappily. Elsa glanced at the big pile of gold at Sanji's feet and reluctantly nodded.
He nodded and said helplessly: "Okay... I hope you are really good people? Come with me, I will take you to our village as guests..."
Sanji turned around and made a scissor hand sign to Nami. Nami and the others got off the boat, stepped on the soft island clouds, and followed Aisha who was leading the way. It was quite novel.
"B.I.B" floated beside Robin, glancing at Montblanc, a descendant of Montblanc Noland, who was walking silently, and then at Aisha in front, a descendant of the Sandians...
"I wonder what the real Sky Island looks like?" Nami smiled expectantly and looked back at Robin, "I wonder if it's different from the one you went to before... Sister Robin, what's wrong?"
"..." Robin touched his chin and pondered, "Did we forget something?"
"..." Zoro and Chopper who were walking at the end, Nami who was walking in front of Robin, and Sanji who jumped down from the golden pedestal were all pondering in the same way, and then they made a sound of "ah" with black lines all over their heads, and said in surprise:
"Where are Luffy and Usopp?"
"Are you talking about the man in the straw hat and the man with such a long nose?"
Elsa, who was walking at the front, squatted on the ground on a piece of island cloud. With some difficulty, she lifted up a corner of the island cloud to create a square entrance to the passage. She pulled her nose to imitate Usopp's long nose and reminded,
"I 'heard' just now... that they were eaten by whales."
"You said they..." Zoro's eyes twitched. "Been eaten by a whale..." Sanji hissed. "...Eat?!" Chopper's jaw dropped to the ground. "Why are you saying it now?!"
Nami yelled at Elsa with tears in her eyes.
Montblanc crushed the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go find them first."
