One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Cobra brought the navy here.

“They stole the treasures left by our ancestors,”

Kobra pointed to the area where a stone used to be, but which was now empty, "Not to mention the vast amount of ancient heritage stored here, there is also a huge gem dug out from the depths of the desert. Our ancestors called it the Star of the Desert. It is said that the gem alone is worth the price of an entire sea area. I don't know where they found out about it."

The navy men nodded. "We're so sorry, Your Highness Cobra. We've really caused you trouble this time. We were too incompetent to stop them."

Cobra shook his head. "The enemy is the Beasts Pirates. This time, things are much better; at least they didn't go on a killing spree."

The navy personnel also sighed.

They were powerless against Ian, the one who burned the heavens.

After seeing the navy off, Cobra breathed a sigh of relief.

That should be considered a way to get by, right?

Little did he know that after he led the navy out of the underground palace...

Others went there.

Crocodile stood in the empty dungeon, carefully examining the area that had originally been placed in the Poneglyphs.

The historical text has indeed vanished without a trace, but there is still a slight depression in the ground, indicating that a very heavy object was once placed here.

"Desert Star?"

Crocodile sneered, then vanished into the sand.

He didn't believe a single word Cobra said.

What he wanted has definitely already been taken by Ian!

Then there is no longer any value in staying in that country.

It's time to go back!

No, it's time to come back!

The Golden Dragon.

After leaving Alabasta, the large ship headed straight towards the Sky Island.

Because there is no permanent pointer, leaving Alabasta is too fast, and the magnetic force of the pointer is not fully stored, the only way to find the way is to rely entirely on Violet.

Fortunately, the features of the Sky Island are too obvious. The White Sea, which is suspended 7,000 meters above the sea, and the White-White Sea, which is 10,000 meters above the sea, make it difficult for Violet to miss it even if she wanted to.

"So, there really is a sea of ​​clouds in the sky?"

Hancock's second sister, Sandersonia, still finds it hard to believe.

"There are two pieces!"

Violet held up two fingers to remind her best friend, "They're all quite vast, and there are many islands on them!"

"Oh! An island in the sky?"

Black Maria said with a smile, "That sounds really good."

Are there people living in the sky?

"Hancock is the third sister," Marigold pressed.

"There are quite a lot."

Violet said, "Many of the islands are inhabited, and they have wing-like decorations on their backs."

The girls' eyes shone with anticipation.

That's the world above the sky!

Not to mention them, even Ian was somewhat looking forward to it.

A kingdom in the clouds—a place that only exists in fairy tales.

Fortunately, this anticipation didn't take too long; a few days later...

"This is it!"

Violet suddenly looked up, "Right above us is the edge of that sea of ​​clouds below!"

"Oh! Have we finally arrived?"

Yamato instantly perked up.

"Hehehehe! The legendary Sky Island?"

Dorry, who was arm wrestling with Brogy, turned around with a grin. "But how do we get up there?"

"Of course,"

Ian cracked his neck. "Fly up."

In the next instant, golden light burst forth, and a huge golden dragon spread its wings in mid-air.

"Hold on tight!"

Then, Ian grabbed the Golden Dragon, strengthened the ship with his Haki, and then took off.

Because of the rapid acceleration, a large number of pirates were slammed onto the deck, and even the two giants couldn't help but stumble.

The massive warship had already soared into the sky along with Ian, shooting off into the depths of the heavens like an arrow.

"Hahaha! Off to the Sky Island!"

Yamato cheered and, like a monkey, nimbly climbed onto Ian's head, gazing up at the sky with great anticipation.

Hancock was furious.

"Crackling and popping! That's an exaggerated power!"

Brogy, however, was marveling at something else: "How could such a massive ship be moved so effortlessly?"

Even the mutated individuals among the giants are far inferior to the ancient giants, right?

Ian simply flapped his wings and flew upwards.

The straight-line distance between Baihai and Qinghai is only seven thousand meters. Even with the Golden Flying Dragon in tow, this distance is just a blink of an eye for Ian.

It's already clearly visible—that vast white ocean!

Then, in the next moment, Ian soared up from the edge of the ocean, finally able to overlook the vast sea.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Yamato, standing atop Ian's head, couldn't help but cheer.

The boundless white sea of ​​clouds drifted slowly in the strong winds high in the sky, making it feel like a real paradise.

Hmm, is this description a bit inappropriate?

Ian thought.

"The sea in the sky?"

Luo stood on the ship's railing, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked up and saw a layer of clouds moving in the wind. "There's actually another layer up there."

"This world is always crazier than we think."

Drake was deeply moved by his presence.

The more you engage with the world, the more you marvel at its wonders.

“Violette,”

Looking down at the sea of ​​clouds, Ian couldn't immediately spot any islands. "Where is the nearest inhabited island?"

"About 30 nautical miles in the direction of two o'clock."

Violet answered immediately.

Ian didn't hesitate. He flapped his wings and went ahead to ask for directions and find out where Bika was.

At his speed, thirty nautical miles would only take him a few minutes.

Soon, a white island appeared before Ian's eyes.

This is a not-so-large island, probably only two or three kilometers in diameter. It is entirely white, with only a few green areas.

There is a small village on the island, and all the buildings are white, as if they were made of clouds.

When Ian landed on the shore of the island with his enormous golden dragon, the entire island erupted in excitement.

The island's inhabitants weren't blind; they could naturally see the Golden Dragon, which was as big as a mountain.

However, the island's residents did not feel fear; instead, they gathered around as if they were watching a spectacle.

And that's what they saw.

"It really is a cloud!"

They jumped around on the beach of the lively island of Yamato, as if they were playing on a trampoline.

The others were also looking around in surprise.

Especially the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, who rolled around on the beach like two little devils.

Yes, giants and cloud kingdoms do indeed go well together.

"Of course it's clouds, these are the island clouds that are unique to Sky Island."

As Ian answered her, he glanced at the residents approaching from the direction of the village.

Have you never seen a person from Qinghai before?

Not only were they not afraid, but they seemed quite interested.

The Sky Islanders' attire was pretty much what Ian had imagined.

"This really is the sea, glug glug..."

Ian turned his head and couldn't help but twitch his lips, only to find that Yamato had already fallen into the shallow water of the beach.

Haiyun is both cloud and sea.

Ian scooped the woman out of the sea of ​​clouds, carried her, and headed towards the villagers.

All the villagers were watching him with curiosity.
