Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 332 Sky Island! (Fifth update, please subscribe)
The morning mist shrouded the sea, and the sails of the Ghost Carrot billowed gently in the breeze.

Nami stood at the bow of the ship, her fingers gently tracing the brand-new nautical chart. Her orange hair was lifted by the sea breeze, revealing the location of the dragon tattoo on her left shoulder.

There's an orange blossom pattern covering it now, which Vivi helped her modify last night using special dye.

"Turn 15 degrees to the left!" Nami suddenly shouted, her voice more confident than usual.

Carrot, at the helm, suddenly straightened her rabbit ears, her furry paws rapidly turning the helm. As the ship tilted slightly, Perona, who was arranging flowers on the deck, stumbled. Princess Mononoke floated into the air, pouting, and said, "Hey! Couldn't the newcomers give us a heads-up?"

Just as Nami was about to apologize, she suddenly felt a weight on her head.

Fang Yu appeared behind her without her noticing, placing half a peeled orange on her head: "Miss Navigator, you now owe me a thousand Berries."

"How can oranges be this expensive! You swindler!" Nami retorted instinctively, only realizing after the words left her mouth that this was the first time she had naturally expressed her emotions since boarding the ship.

She hurriedly glanced at everyone's reactions, only to see Vivi smiling as she popped a segment of orange into her mouth: "Don't mind the captain, he just likes to joke around when he has nothing to do, just like Brooke, who likes to tell corny jokes."

Brooke was wiping her violin when she heard this, and her bones cracked: "Oh ho ho~ Miss Vivi's words chilled me to the bone—even though I don't have any bone marrow at all!"

Amidst laughter, Nico Robin walked over carrying a rubbing of the Poneglyph and sat down next to Nami.

Do Sky Islands really exist?

Nami shook her head. "I don't know either."

Suddenly, Fang Yu jumped onto the lookout tower and shouted, "Attention everyone! We're about to enter the Sky-Reaching Current area, hold on tight!"

With that, Fang Yu narrowed his eyes: "Sky Island, I'm here!"

In the spacious and luxurious CEO's office at Stark Industries, Stephen Fang was comfortably nestled in his expensive executive chair, his feet casually propped up on the clean and gleaming desk, humming a tuneless little tune. He looked as relaxed and carefree as could be.

Beside him, Happy stood quietly, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness, but he didn't say much.

After all, he knew very well that his boss's life had been saved by this Stephen Fang.

Stephen hummed along, then suddenly yawned widely, stretched, and a smug smile appeared on his face. He muttered to himself in Chinese, "Being prepared for a rainy day, this feels amazing."

As he pondered this, he gently tapped the table with his hand, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

His existence has drastically changed the entire Marvel universe.

The originally terrifying Ultron crisis disappeared under his intervention, and Avengers 2 was filmed without any further action.

Although Vision is gone as a result, the absence of Vision also means the loss of Dark Wanda, which could have caused a huge disaster. In a way, this can be considered a kind of balance.

In addition, there are Doctor Strange's side stories, which are made much easier because of him.

Under normal circumstances, he would have had to personally travel to the mysterious Kamar-Taj. But now it was different. He only needed to wait quietly for Strange to reach his destination smoothly. Then, he could instantly appear in Kamar-Taj with a Flying Thunder God technique—it couldn't be easier. Thinking of this, Stephen's smile grew even brighter, as if he could already see Thanos being trampled under his feet.
Just as Stephen was lost in his thoughts, the office door was gently pushed open, and Pepper Potts' elegant and charming figure appeared in the doorway.

She walked in slowly, her steps light and graceful, her waist swaying.

Under the light, you could vaguely see the throbbing, burning blood vessels beneath her skin, and a mysterious power was surging within her.

Clearly, the Extremis virus in her body still cannot be completely eliminated.

However, what is astonishing is that Pepper Potts' compatibility with the Extremis virus is so high that even Tony Stark once considered using her for human experiments.

After Pepper entered the room, her gaze immediately locked onto Stephen Fang. "Tony wants to see you. He says the research has yielded results."

Stephen nodded slightly, and the next second, accompanied by a slight spatial fluctuation, he instantly used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the empty chair still swaying gently.

Happy and Chili exchanged a glance, and Happy couldn't help but shake his head slightly, complaining, "This is really an amazing and convenient superpower. You can go wherever you want. I wish I had this ability too."

In the laboratory, Tony Stark was intently staring at the complex and sophisticated instruments in front of him, while holding a marker pen and writing and drawing on the whiteboard next to him.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation arose in the air, and Stephen Fang's figure appeared beside him without warning.

Tony jumped in fright, nearly dropping his pen. He turned sharply, looking at Stephen with a mixture of fear and annoyance, and shouted, "I'm still not used to you suddenly appearing in front of me like this. It's terrifying! Promise me you won't show up at night. I don't want you to see me naked."

He patted his chest, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

Stephen shrugged dismissively, a slight smile playing on his lips, and replied with a hint of mockery, "I'd rather not see you having a pillow fight with three big foreign women. Alright, tell me your research findings."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the experimental equipment and various complex data charts scattered around him.

Tony Stark pursed his lips, straightened his collar to appear more composed, then turned and walked to the lab table. He picked up an energy core that shimmered with a ghostly light, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and said, "Look, after working day and night on this research, I've finally figured out this new type of energy core. Its energy output stability far surpasses the previous version, and it consumes less energy. If it's installed in the armor, its endurance will at least double!"

"Uh, that's not what I want to see. I want to see things related to the Extremis virus."

"Hmph, I knew you were interested in that thing. Come on, keep up."

The two walked along, passing through several security doors, and finally arrived at a room with five layers of metal doors.

As the five doors opened, Stephen Fang saw a brand new suit of armor.
Stephen Fang tilted his head: "White?"

Iron Man nodded. "Isn't white better?"

"No, that's best not to. I don't want to see you in a white battle suit."

Iron Man paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Of course I'll wear the classic red and yellow one. In fact, this suit is for you."
