10,000 meters above sea level.
White sea.
"Is this... an empty island?!"
The Golden Meili rides on the upwelling current and finally breaks through the Jet Clouds, rushing all the way to the White Sea above an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Nami walked to the side of the boat and looked below. She didn't see any sea water. All she saw was a white cloud, a sea cloud like sea water.
"Yun, why can ships be on top of clouds?"
There was a hint of shock in her eyes, and she was very puzzled by this phenomenon.
Luffy and others were all a little short of breath at this moment, because it was their first time to come to the White Sea at an altitude of 10,000 meters. However, they had special physiques and quickly gradually adapted to it.
"The record pointer points forward."
Nami looked at the direction pointed by the record pointer with a thoughtful look on her face, and randomly directed Sanji and others to set sail and turn the helm and sail in the direction pointed by the record pointer.
After sailing for about half a day, an island finally appeared in front of us, showing a milky color, like a heavenly scene.
"Look there!"
"It's Sky Island!"
When Luffy and others saw the island in the distance, they finally screamed in surprise, and everyone's faces showed excitement and excitement.
Places like Sky Island are like a scene in a dream, but now they are real and they have arrived.
And just when Luffy and others finally arrived at Sky Island.
On Angel Island, in a watchtower somewhere, a strange toy saw the approaching Golden Melly from a distance and jumped up.
"Report! Report! There is an intruder!"
The toy immediately reported to an air island captain outside the watchtower.
Immediately afterwards, the captain of Sky Island urgently searched for the priest and reported the news of the appearance of outsiders on Angel Beach to the priest of Angel Island.
The priest was shocked when he learned about it and immediately walked into the central palace.
"Intruder?"
Sugar Man sat on a white cloud chair as big as a devil, holding a bunch of candies and grapes, put a grape into his mouth, and tilted his head at the priest who walked in.
Sky Island had been conquered by Rhodes a long time ago and became the territory of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Of course, Angel Island is one of them.
Sugar came to Angel Island for vacation before and found that she liked the scenery here, so she simply stayed here. Rhodes didn't care much and let her stay on Angel Island.
"It looks like they are from Qinghai. Normally, if they came from the top of the west sky, we should have received information long ago. But we did not receive any information here. Maybe they came here on the rising sea current."
The priest said to Sugar.
Sugar has a special status. In terms of status, it is equivalent to Ganfu. He can contact Ross at any time. He is usually responsible for managing the toys, while Ganfu is responsible for the management of the entire sky island. There is usually no conflict between the two.
When there is an intruder on Angel Island, it is natural to report it to Sugar first.
"troublesome."
Sugar ate another grape and said, "Catch them all."
"ah?"
The priest was stunned for a moment.
Sugar ate the grapes one by one and said, "Isn't the matter with Apayado annoying enough? Don't bother me with this kind of thing."
"All right… "
The priest reluctantly resigned.
Just after the priest left, a figure in the hall said to Sugar: "I said, this kind of thing should be reported to the higher ups."
That figure is an iron wall giant, responsible for guarding the safety of Sugar.
Once the ability of the Barrier Fruit creates an all-round blocking barrier, unless it is a top-notch armed domineering force or the ability to restrain the barrier, it will not be able to be blasted open for ten and a half days.
At this time, all you need to do is call for support, and Rhodes will naturally arrive quickly.
"Does it matter?"
Granu poked five grapes with five fingers, then put the fingers into his mouth one by one and said, "If they become toys, no one will remember them."
“…”
The Iron Wall Giant was speechless for a while, but he still honestly chose to report to the superior. Although he was responsible for protecting Granu, he was also responsible for keeping an eye on him and not letting Granu do anything too willful or exaggerated.
…
In the sky far away from Angel Island and spanning nearly half of the Grand Airway, this is directly above Cake Island and where Sky Island Bika is located.
"The Straw Hats have arrived at Angel Island?"
Ross, who had just gotten up to have breakfast, couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard Robin's report next to him. It seemed that the route of Luffy and his group still couldn't avoid the empty island.
But it is true that the magnetic force of Angel Island is too strong. As long as it appears in that area, the direction of the recording pointer will definitely be pulled towards the sky.
Normally, as long as you stay away from that sea area, the record pointer will point to other islands again, but with Luffy's character, it is not surprising that he must go up to an empty island.
"yes."
Robin Jade held her chin in her hand, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Sanduang plans to capture them all and turn them into toys."
"Tsk, that would be interesting."
Ross clicked his tongue, but he didn't mean to blame Granut. It was part of his character to protect his shortcomings. He was just willful. I will protect him!
Robin tilted his head and said: "But I stopped him. The Straw Hats finally dealt with a Shichibukai. Those priests alone may not be able to defeat it. If the Iron Wall Giant is allowed to take action, Sugar will be put in danger again." The gain outweighs the loss.”
Once Granu becomes unconscious, all the toys will turn back into humans, which will be a lot of fun. Almost all the toys that Granu turns into are pirates who broke into Rhodes' territory or tried to challenge Rhodes.
Once he changes back to his human form, there will definitely be chaos.
Although the threat is not great, it will always cause a lot of trouble.
"Well, it's better to tell her not to act recklessly."
Ross nodded. Luffy and his group are both strong and weak in fighting ability. It’s hard to tell whether he will suddenly have a small universe explosion and suddenly switch to second and third gears on the empty island. .
After Robin finished talking about Luffy's matter, his expression suddenly straightened and he said, "By the way, besides Luffy's matter, there is another problem over at Angel Island."
"oh?"
Roz eats a piece of cake.
Robin looked thoughtful and said: "Holy Land Apayado... that is, the upper half of Gaya Island that was washed up on the empty island. Recently, a guy who claimed to be God appeared. The priest there went to crusade. Once, the entire army was wiped out.”
"Calling yourself God?"
A strange look appeared on Ross's face. Could it be Enel? He had found Enel before, but he had not paid attention to it since then.
But the problem is, if the Thunder Fruit is with him, how can Eniro find the ability to invade the holy land of Apayado and annihilate the entire expedition led by the priest? !
"Where's the more specific information?"
Ross asked towards Robin.
Robin pondered: "Because the entire army was wiped out in the previous crusade, and only very little information was transmitted, the guy who calls himself God seems to have the ability to control the earth."
"???"
Three question marks popped up on Ross's head. He had deliberately pretended to be cool on Angel Island before, using the power of distortion to control the soil, but now a Devil Fruit user with the ability to control the earth really jumped out
If that guy is really Enelu, then I have to say that this guy is very lucky. He was robbed of the Thunder Fruit, and he also got a Devil Fruit that can control the soil of the earth.
"Stone fruit? Or soil fruit?"
Ross couldn't help but ask Robin.
The former is the ability of Doflamingo's Pika, who can manipulate rocks to assimilate people, while the latter is one of the natural abilities and belongs to the higher-level fruit of the Stone Fruit.
The Stone Fruit can only assimilate the nearby earth, soil, etc., and cannot actively create rocks and soil. Once it reaches the sea, it has no effect. The Earth Fruit is a natural ability and has the ability to directly create rocks and soil. .
The gap between the two is still huge.
"Not sure."
Robin shook his head and said: "There is too little information to judge."
After Ross pondered for a while, he stood up and said: "Forget it, I'll go there and see what's going on. If it is really the ability of the soil fruit, I can make another powerful one. The puppet incarnates.”
