Pirate’s Steel Chain Finger

Over the sea of ​​clouds and mists, Sky Island "Paradise Mountain".

This is an extremely large cloud island. Yes, there is no soil, there is just an endless ‘island cloud’. The white white clouds not only serve as the foundation to carry the entire kingdom, but are also efficiently cut and assembled into various cloud buildings.

The ‘island cloud’ that makes up Sky Island is not the same as the ‘sea cloud’ that makes up Kukai. This is because the condensation nucleus that makes the cloud is different. Seastone contains a component called ‘salt rock particles’. These keratin particles are sprayed into the sky with the eruption of a volcano, and when they condense with water vapor, they change their density and form sea clouds and island clouds.

The island cloud is cut and compressed to change its density to create an ‘artificial cloud’, and the organization responsible for this kind of work is called the ‘cut cloud field’. Artificial clouds are widely used in buildings and ground construction, and are as hard as conventional rocks.

One of the traditions of the Kukai people is to wear wing-like decorations behind their backs, and sinners who are exiled or convicted of serious crimes are not eligible to wear wing decorations. There are large and small wing types. Generally speaking, burly people like to wear large wings, and vice versa. Behind the ‘Strange Monk’ Urouge is the large-size wings, which are available in the ‘Wing Star’ store on Sky Island’s Paradise Mountain.

The sacred wharf of the Heavenly Mountain is moored with all kinds of ships, including the Beagle and the Prajna of the Pirates of the Bandits.

"...So, there was a big incident in the sea of ​​clouds and mist four years ago?"

On the dreamy white street, Victor and his party sat chatting at a round table in a cafe on the side of the street together with Urouge, the ‘weird monk’. Victor took a sip of Sky Island's specialty coconut juice, and then asked.

"Yes, not far from Paradise Mountain, there was a large Sky Island named'Birka'."

Urouge nodded: "It is a famous trading city with rich products. But one day four years ago, a terrifying thunder light fell from the sky, and the entire Birka Sky Island and the residents on it disappeared, with no survivors."

"Ray?" Robin and Victor looked at each other.

Urouge said with lingering fear: "I was planning to go to Birka to meet someone that day. When sailing, I encountered a Kukai beast and was delayed for a long time before I escaped. People say that it was [God Punishment], but I don’t believe it. Some unknown powerful force destroyed Birka, maybe Devil Fruit."

"Then let me just ask, what's the abnormality 4 years ago?" Victor asked slowly, rubbing his chin.

Urouge thought for a while, and said, "...If you want to talk about the abnormality, does the four-year'Konghai Current' count?"

"What is Kukai Current?" Wu Hongji asked curiously.

"The air-ocean current refers to the phenomenon where two independent air-oceans converge and merge for a short time. At that time, the two air-ocean areas will exchange sea clouds, and navigators can also take this opportunity to go to other air-oceans."

Urouge suddenly frowned: "You mean... the murderer who destroyed Birka took this opportunity to go to other air and sea? If this is the case, it is very possible. Otherwise, with the abilities of the Xianglong clan, how could it be impossible to search for 4 years? To the murderer..."

"It's very likely." Victor nodded, "Which piece of air and sea did the sea of ​​clouds and mist meet?"

"White Sea."

Urouge said with certainty: "There is the only Kukai with the'earth' there, which has special significance for other Kukai people."

"Huh? Monk, didn't you just say that Kukai doesn't have such a thing as ‘mud’?" Perona’s eyes widened, feeling that his IQ had been insulted.

"That's right, the'earth' can only bring a little bit when it soars into the sky and the ocean currents spray, so the'earth' is very, very precious to all Kukai people."

Urouge's face was solemn: "But the White Sea is different! There is a huge and complete'earth' there! This is the gift of the gods! So the rulers of the White Sea all call themselves the'god', occupying this piece of God's gift. The earth."

Robin frowned: "It doesn't make sense, how can there be a complete land in the air and sea? According to Mr. Urouge's description, this is clearly an entire island."

"What if it's a sky ocean current?" Victor folded his arms and leaned back on the back of his chair: "The entire island was transported to the sky by the powerful impact of the sky ocean current and then landed on a large island cloud. This makes sense. NS."

"Brother!" Perona slapped the table excitedly and stood up: "There must be treasures there!"

Victor smiled: "Ah, the idea coincides. The next stop is the White Sea."

"Oh~ it's a long-lost treasure hunt!" Wu Hongji was also very excited: "My concubine has never participated in a treasure hunt since my trip to Vidical three years ago. I look forward to it!"

Robin had already figured out the little book in his chest and began to plan his next actions.

Urouge scratched his head and had to interrupt the excitement of several big guys: "Uh, interrupt. There are still 4 months before the next air current. Do you plan to stay in Paradise Mountain for so long?"

"Four months, which means that the distance is very close, right?" Victor's focus was completely different.

"That's right, but there is an endless sky between Kukai, and you are not flying birds..." Urouge felt that although the blue sea people were strong enough, they seemed to have some problems in their brains.

"It's not a problem~" Perona looked at the face of the dumpling: "Otherwise how do you think we came from the Blue Sea?"

"???"

Urouge looked dumbfounded: "Isn't it soaring to the sky or the stream of clouds? There should be only these two ways to get from the blue ocean to the air ocean."

Wu Hongji smiled: "No, there is another—flying! Haven't you seen the flying ship?"

"..." Urouge was silent for a while, then suddenly left the seat and walked in front of Victor. He knelt down neatly, his forehead pressed against the white artificial cloud floor tiles, and said in a deep voice, "Please take me with you. , Go to the White Sea!"

"Oh? Reason." Victor shook the cup in his hand playfully, and the translucent coconut juice shook on the wall of the cup.

"My master was also in Birka at the time!" Urouge's forehead touched the ground with blue veins on his neck, and he said loudly, "His old man picked up the destroyed me in his hometown and raised it hard! It turned out that I hadn't waited for me to honor his old man. , But he and Birka were destroyed by the thunder of heaven! I am not reconciled. I have been looking for the murderer who destroyed Birka for four years. I beg you, take me to the White Sea together! I am going there to find the murderer!"

Victor chuckled softly: "Don't forget, you planned to rob us before, but I kindly relieved you. And... how do you know that I am not going 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!" Urouge raised his head and looked into Victor's eyes, and said categorically, "I am willing to disband the Pirate Band of Brokers immediately, and I will take refuge in your subordinates and wait for you. Dispatch! Please take me there!"

As he said, his forehead slammed on the hard cloud brick.

Victor sighed and turned to look at the other three.

Wu Hongji and Robin smiled and didn't speak, Perona said with her arms akimbo, "What are we doing? You know we all listen to you!"

Victor looked back at Urouge, who remained motionless on his knees, and said softly, "...Yes, but you will be mine for the rest of your life."

"Yes!" Urouge's voice was firm and strong.

On this day, the people of Heavenly Mountain saw a real miracle——

A blue ship flying in the sky!
