...
On the Starship.
"Tsk tsk... the weather is so nice today." Ryuma said with a smile, turning his head to look at the people behind him. They seemed to be a little seasick.
Even Jack was like that.
Ryuma frowned and said directly, "What's wrong with you guys? I'm driving this aircraft carrier slow enough. Why are you still getting airsick?"
"I don't know either."
Jack said.
Jack hadn't done anything out of line yet, but Queen was different. He directly vomited his red bean soup!
"Ugh, ugh, ugh..."
Jack looked angry and said, "You damn thing, you vomited all over me. Clean it up!"
"No... if it needs cleaning, let the crew clean it..."
Ryuma saw that they were uncomfortable, and he wasn't feeling very good either. He took a deep breath and said directly to the people behind him, "I'm really sorry, everyone. As you can see, we're still quite far from Loguetown. And we have to stop by Sky Island on the way."
Hearing this, Jack and the others looked at each other.
"Ryuma-sama... is there really a Sky Island in this world? I don't think so."
Hearing Jack's words, Ryuma was a little surprised. After all, Jack was someone who had made a name for himself in the New World. His strength wasn't bad. It could be said that he was at the top of the second-in-command level among pirates today...
Of course, Jack's current strength, calling him the top was a bit of an exaggeration. But he was definitely at the top of the second-in-command level.
Ryuma nodded slightly and said coldly, "Why would I lie to you? Sky Island really exists. If you don't believe me, I can take you there on the Starship right now. Don't worry... you don't need to prove it to me."
After drinking two sips of water, Queen felt much better. He frowned and said, "Ryuma-sama, are you going to Sky Island to conquer it? I heard that Sky Island is full of gold. On Sky Island, gold is the most useless thing. If we get our hands on the gold, then our wealth and glory for the rest of our lives will be secured. Besides, your ship seems to be able to carry a lot."
Hearing Queen's words, Ryuma suddenly realized!
He was right...
Since they considered gold as worthless, why not take it for themselves?
...
Less than a day later, they had already covered more than half of the journey.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Ryuma-sama, your Starship is so amazing. It's not even been a day, and you've already... covered half of the Grand Line?" Jack said, his eyes frantic.
You could see that from here, although you couldn't see the clouds, you could see all sorts of islands.
These islands were surrounded by the Red Line. They must be all the islands in the Grand Line, right?
Jack and the others stared straight ahead, their expressions a little strange.
Ryuma noticed their expressions and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing... it's just that we've been on this road before. I didn't expect that after being in the New World for so many years, things have changed so much. I was just reminiscing..."
"Alright, alright, shut up. Don't say anything like that in front of me. Reminiscing, my ass." Ryuma said teasingly.
You really couldn't tell, this Jack was a sentimental guy.
But to be honest, looking towards the Red Line from here was truly magnificent. It was something that nothing else could compare to!
The Red Line is a ring-shaped continent that intersects the Grand Line in a cross shape. It's named after the red soil that covers its surface.
The Red Line and the Grand Line are two rings, so there are two intersections. The first intersection is Reverse Mountain.
The second intersection is the Holy Land, Mariejois.
That's where the Sabaody Archipelago is.
If they wanted to cross the Red Line and reach the East Blue, they had to pass through Reverse Mountain.
Ryuma looked towards the distance from here. From here, he could already see Reverse Mountain, standing in the distance.
At this time, a man wearing glasses walked over!
The man looked surprised and said, "Not good, not good!"
Hearing this, Ryuma turned his head to look. This guy must be the navigator of the Mammoth ship, right?
"Hmph... you, what are you shouting about? You've been in the New World. What storms haven't you seen? What haven't you encountered? Now you're in the Grand Line, and you're panicking. You're even panicking in front of Ryuma-sama. Do you want me to throw you into the river to feed the fish?"
Jack scolded loudly, and the navigator quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, not daring to say a word.
Ryuma quickly made a gesture to stop him, his expression cold, and said, "Alright, stop talking. I only have this one navigator... What's wrong? Don't listen to him. What happened? Tell me slowly."
"No... no need to say it. This ship is going too fast. It's about to crash..." The navigator turned around, his eyes wide with shock, looking behind him.
Even when Jack and Queen saw this scene, their eyes almost popped out!
What is that?
It's a waterspout!
It was truly terrifying. Not to mention the Grand Line, even the New World rarely saw waterspouts like this, right?
Why did it appear here?
They quickly looked at Ryuma, hoping he could provide some solution...
If they continued to crash like this, the aircraft carrier might not be damaged, but they might not be.
Ryuma smiled, fearless in the face of danger. He thought to himself... this aircraft carrier was pretty sturdy. It was being blown by such a large waterspout, but it wasn't reacting at all.
No, to be precise, it was just shaking slightly!
Ryuma smiled and turned back, saying to them, "It's okay, don't worry about it. Just wait, it'll be fine."
When they heard Ryuma's words, they looked at each other again, feeling like they were going crazy!
But since Ryuma said so, they would wait.
After all, Ryuma had secrets they didn't know... and there were many of them.
At this time, when Ryuma entered the control room, the ship stopped moving in the air. It stopped moving forward and began to fly upwards!
Although the waterspout was formed by winds from all directions, once Ryuma's Starship began to dance in the air, it would still give them a ride.
"Boom!"
They could only hear a sound of explosion!
This explosion was truly earth-shattering!
The upward force of the waterspout was completely suppressed by the aircraft carrier, so after a loud boom, the waterspout gradually became much smaller.
When they saw this scene, Ryuma was overjoyed!
This was amazing!
It was simply invincible!
Ryuma thought to himself. When he came to his senses and looked at his companions around him, he realized that their faces were pale. It was obvious that they were terrified by what had just happened.
After a while, Jack said in a daze, "Ryuma-sama, how did you make this ship move straight upwards?"
"That... you don't need to know that. It's okay... knowing too much isn't a good thing."
Ryuma said.
After all, Ryuma couldn't tell them everything.
This aircraft carrier, although it looked like it had a very complicated driving system, was actually quite simple to operate once you got your hands on it.
In the previous world, ordinary people wouldn't even see this thing in their entire lives, let alone touch it. It was simply impossible.
At this time, Queen's face was pale, and he quickly shook Jack excitedly, "Look, look, there's an island in the sky!"
Hearing this, Jack was also stunned.
You know, Jack had never believed in the existence of Sky Island, but to their surprise, Sky Island was really right in front of them!
"Charge!"
Ryuma laughed loudly.
This thing was more exciting than a roller coaster.
Ryuma finally understood why there were so many pirates. Once you became a pirate... you could sail endlessly, sail freely, and even fight for justice.
Now, it seemed that if he wasn't the dragon-slaying samurai of Wano Country, he would have wanted to be a pirate.
After a while, the Starship slowly stopped at the edge of Sky Island.
Ryuma looked around. It was almost all clouds. It was truly beautiful.
But when Ryuma got closer, his excitement completely disappeared.
This... this doesn't look like clouds at all. It's more like smog, right?
Ryuma felt his feet step on something. He quickly looked down.
What he saw shocked him!
The things on the ground were actually different Sky Island Shells.
It was clear that these Sky Island Shells were quite fresh. But the creatures that were inside the Sky Island Shells before, he didn't know where they had gone.
Sky Island Shells, produced on Sky Island, have a wide range of uses. The variety of shells on Sky Island is vast, from furniture to weapons.
The daily life on Sky Island widely uses shells as lamps, stoves, and even recording devices!
The unique Sky Island battles are a special form of combat that uses various shells as weapons.
Of course, there are also some Sky Island Shells that cannot be used normally due to the altitude.
At this time, Jack slowly took off his mask, frowned, and said, "This... there's no lack of oxygen. I thought we would really get altitude sickness."
"Altitude sickness? You know quite a lot, huh?"
Ryuma said with a smile.
Just then, several men wearing primitive clothing, holding spears, surrounded them!
This...
These people were Sky Island people?
