Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Only she knew how terrifying this towering current was.

Her intuition told her so.

If anything goes wrong...

Let alone the Black Demon Ship made from the Adam Tree, even a massive steel warship could be torn to shreds...

"Darkness is approaching. Is this some kind of mental torment? Is the god of the sea telling us that darkness is what awaits us?"

Holding onto the pillar for support, Nami gazed into the distance as the cumulonimbus clouds, obscuring the sunlight, drew near.

To Nami, it was as if a god was saying that darkness was about to descend upon them!

This feeling of "waiting to die" is terrifying...

Xiao Yi had been looking around and immediately noticed that the previously huge vortex had calmed down: "Huh? The vortex has subsided?"

Nami's heart tightened: "It's coming!"

"Waaaaah, it's coming!"

Nami, whimpering, reminded Issho, "Uncle Issho, you absolutely must remember to use your abilities! We can't let the Black Demon capsize, or we're doomed!"

Because of the presence of Yoruichi, a user of the Gravity Fruit, Rocks did not modify the appearance of the Black Devil.

In fact, according to Coolidge's idea, the Black Demon needed to be given "wings"...

He smiled earnestly and said, "I will do my best..."

Nami exclaimed, "It's not just doing our best, it's giving it our all!"

Yi Xiao scratched his head and said, "Alright, I'll do my best..."

"We absolutely, positively must go all out!"

Nami said loudly.

Then she noticed the change in airflow and her expression changed: "It's starting! The surging current is coming! Quickly grab a foothold or you'll be thrown out!"

Nami had barely finished speaking.

A huge bulge appeared on the calm sea, like a volcano about to erupt.

The Black Demon was positioned directly above this bulge, lifted up by the surging seawater...

'Boom!!'

A deafening roar erupted the next second.

It was like detonating a nuclear bomb deep in the ocean, the terrifying explosion causing the seawater to boil.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of water shot up from the seabed.

Low-temperature seawater flows into the underwater cave, and geothermal heat evaporates the seawater to form water vapor. After the water vapor accumulates to a certain level, it is released through the "opening" of the underwater cave.

This force propelled tens of thousands of tons of seawater skyward.

And the Black Demon, not far from the center of the towering current, naturally followed this surging current straight upwards!

"Wow, it's flying! It's so...so fast!!"

"Wow, wow, wow! We're flying! Hehehe, what a fun experience!"

"Oh dear, we really owe Mr. Ichisho to him, otherwise we probably wouldn't even be able to stand up..."

"You're too kind. I only offered my humble assistance."

"It's definitely much more exciting than the upwelling current at Upside Down Mountain, quite interesting..."

"Hold your positions firmly!"

Screams, excited shouts, laughter, and warnings echoed throughout the Black Demon.

Because of Yixiao's ability, they remained standing steadily, without swaying or falling, and there was no danger to them.

At the same time, Yixiao also used his ability to control the Black Demon, allowing it to defy gravity and spiral upwards along the surging ocean current...

That is indeed the case.

The Black Demon did not "fly" up, but instead "sailed" upwards along the towering ocean current.

With Yixiao's ability, the people on the Black Demon stood on the inverted "deck".

It's actually just the wall of the Black Demon's living room, but the orientation is reversed...

I experienced 99% of that rapidly increasing feeling of being pushed back and the thrill!

Otherwise, why do you think Nami screamed?

I was terrified!

The burst of the surging current lasted for one minute, and the Black Demon also continued to rise for one minute.

Finally, propelled by the residual force of the surging current, it was flung away, hurtling straight towards the white sea of ​​clouds above...

Once you pass through this sea of ​​white clouds, you've arrived at the Sky Island!

Rocks remembered that this white sea of ​​clouds was also "water," which could affect the abilities of those with superpowers.

The Black Demon is currently being dragged along by gravity using Yixiao's strength...

Rocks needs to make sure that the "white cloud sea" does not affect the ability users on the ship!

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

The Seven Star Sword, tucked at his waist, was drawn from its sheath. Rocks gripped it with both hands, preparing to unleash a horizontal slash upwards.

The spiraling shockwave that pierced through the clouds blasted a "channel" through the white sea of ​​clouds above.

The Black Demon successfully passed through...

'Boom! '

The Black Demon, having traversed the sea of ​​clouds, slowly descended upon it using Yi Xiao's power, stirring up a few ripples...

"Whoosh..."

Once she was safe, Nami immediately began to gasp for breath.

He found it difficult to breathe, his small chest rising and falling slightly: "It's...it feels so uncomfortable, I feel like I'm short of oxygen?"

"It's normal for oxygen to be scarce here at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters."

Despite his monstrous physique, Lox did not experience any discomfort.

He took out the oxygen cylinders he had prepared in advance from the table next to him and handed them to Nami and Xiao Yi.

One of them was young, and the other was physically weak.

They are still unable to adapt to the low oxygen levels here.

The others were mostly fine, except for Robin who felt slightly uncomfortable, but she adjusted her breathing and was almost back to normal...

"It really is above the clouds."

Guina, who exercises regularly, adapted to the low-oxygen environment in just over ten seconds.

She looked around in surprise: "And there's an ocean? Is this a sea of ​​clouds?"

All around was a vast expanse of white, and in the distance, layers of pure white clouds gathered together, resembling a unique mountain range.

The Black Demon floated above the white clouds, where the ocean, also white, stretched out like a sea of ​​clouds...

To the left is the "boundary" of the sea of ​​clouds, which is only about 100 meters away.

This is clearly located at the edge of the Jidi Cloud.

Their position was indeed off-center; if they had been a hundred meters off, they might have fallen...

"Yes, it must be an ocean formed by some kind of special cloud."

Lox was not a scientist and did not understand the principles.

Therefore, I will not express too many opinions.

The senses spread out and covered a large area.

However, apart from the presence of some living beings in the sea of ​​clouds, there were no people or buildings to be seen...

Lox turned to Yixiao: "Yixiao, can you sense a person's presence?"

Issho's Observation Haki has a wider range of perception than Rocks's. He has already detected human presence and pointed in a direction: "There are humans living over there."

Captain Rocks began giving the order: "Move out, head over there!"

The Black Demon turned and headed to the right, sailing across the vast white ocean...

Along the way, they encountered obstacles, which were "mountains" made up of layers of clouds.

Finally, Yixiao used his ability to make the Black Demon take off and cross over.

It rose to a considerable height before landing back above the "sea of ​​clouds".

Locus finally sensed the presence of humans and "saw" a small tribe hidden in the "clouds"...

'They should be the original inhabitants of Jaya Island, who were washed ashore on Skypiea in the original story, right? I remember their name was Shandia?'

Rocks counted on his fingers, recalling the plot from his memory.

I have a general understanding of the situation of that tribe...

"Go and ask about the situation on this sky island."

Now that we've encountered people, we naturally need to ask them about the situation on this floating island.

The most important thing to pay attention to...

Is Enel currently on this sky island?

……

As the Black Demon approached, the tribe naturally noticed its approach...

"Oh no, there's an intruder!"

Have we been discovered?

"Whatever the reason, we must first bring them under control. The tribe's location cannot be exposed; we have no other way out!"
