Chapter 178 Attack

At this moment, a ship is steadily ascending vertically at a speed of one thousand meters in the air.

If someone were to witness this scene from afar, they would likely believe it to be a miracle and would be compelled to bow down in worship.

This ship is the Dream Chaser. In addition to Goku, Nami, Sanji, Robin, and Pupu, the crew also includes Kreekel, who is preparing to go to Skypiea to find the Golden City.

"This is way too, way too high!!"

Nami, holding onto the railing, cautiously peeked out from the ship's side. Looking down, she was immediately terrified by the sight of being a thousand meters in the air, her face turning deathly pale, her legs buckling, and she almost lost her balance.

Thousands of meters in the air, and the height is constantly increasing. If someone were to fall from here, even if there were ocean below, they would probably be smashed to pieces!

Thinking about this, she felt a pang of regret, wondering why she had agreed to come up this way.

But then she thought about the vast amount of gold waiting for her on the sky island, and how she could soon become a billionaire. She gritted her teeth and banished the regret.

For this batch of gold, for becoming a billionaire, I'll give it my all!!

Unlike her, Wukong was completely unconcerned about the so-called high altitude. He even lay on the unprotected bow of the ship, holding the back of his head with his hands, and comfortably enjoyed the scenery from above.

"So beautiful."

From his perspective, although there were thick cumulonimbus clouds directly above, the distant sky was a clear, bright blue, with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily in the air—a truly breathtaking sight.

Suddenly, a group of black dots appeared in his field of vision in the distance, and these black dots seemed to be flying towards them.

"Huh? What's that?"

Wukong blinked and muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

Before long, the black dots grew larger in his eyes, and he finally saw clearly that they were a group of large black and yellow birds with sharp and long beaks, numbering about ten.

"Oh, it's a bird."

Wukong suddenly realized what was going on, and looked completely unconcerned about the flock of birds flying towards them.

It's perfectly normal to have birds in the sky.

But just because he didn't take it to heart doesn't mean others did.

Curry, who had been vigilantly watching his surroundings, quickly spotted the group of uninvited guests.

Upon seeing the birds clearly, his expression changed, and he shouted, "They're Santo Anribilus! Everyone be careful!!"

""

Swish! !

Everyone was startled by his voice, and following his gaze, they immediately noticed the flock of large birds flying rapidly towards them.

Before they could react, the large birds that had approached them, their red pupils flashing with ferocity, swooped down on the people on the ship like fighter jets!

That sharp, gleaming beak could, without a doubt, pierce a person's throat and leave a bloody hole!

"Wow!"

Nami was startled. She crouched down without thinking, using the ship's railing for protection, and dodged the attack that whistled overhead.

"Why are these strange birds attacking us?!"

With a quick sidestep, narrowly avoiding the attack, Curriculumite rattled off, "The Santo Anglican beak is a ferocious bird of prey. They saw us as prey, that's why they attacked us!"

On the other side, Sanji, who had also narrowly avoided the attack of the Santorini, had a fierce look flash between his brows.

"You see us as prey? Then I'll treat them as my meal today."

Just then, a cry of "Whoaaaaah!!" came from the bow of the ship, causing everyone to instinctively look over, and their expressions changed.

Wukong, who had been on the bow of the ship, was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Santoro Bird. In his panicked attempt to dodge, he slipped and fell overboard.

"Wukong!!!" Everyone's faces turned pale and they exclaimed in shock, but no one had time to grab Wukong.

Just when they thought Wukong was about to fall and the thought of "it's all over" arose in their minds, a brown tail suddenly hooked onto the railing on the side of the boat.

Wukong, dangling from the outside of the boat and swaying back and forth, wiped away his sweat with a narrow escape: "Whew—I almost fell in."

Although he knows Moonwalk, his current physical posture after falling makes it impossible for him to use Moonwalk. By the time he realizes what's happening and adjusts his posture, he will probably be far away from the ship that is rapidly climbing upwards.

With the added attack from the Santo Angle-billed bird nearby, he probably won't be able to get back to the ship.

Fortunately, his tail instinctively hooked onto the boat, otherwise this scene might have happened.

"Wukong! Why aren't you coming in right now?!"

Nami, who had been startled, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Goku was alright. However, when she discovered that Goku was still hanging outside the ship and had not returned, she roared in anger.

"Hehe, I'm fine."

With a flick of his tail, Wukong flung himself back onto the ship from outside.

He chuckled and touched his nose, then looked at the Santo Anribeak, which, having failed in its previous attack, was turning around in the distance, preparing to strike again.

A smirk played on his lips, his eyes gleaming with a hungry light: "They want to eat us, so we'll eat them! I'm actually a little hungry right now."

"Croak!!"

The harsh, piercing bird cry emanated from the beak of the lead Santo Anribeak, its eyes gleaming with ferocity as it led its companions in another menacing attack on Goku and his friends.

This time, with enough time to react, no one showed any fear on their faces, including Nami, who was the most timid.

"Haha!"

As the flock of birds swooped down like fighter jets, Wukong took the lead, pushing off the ground with both legs and instantly appearing above the bird leader, stomping his right foot hard on the leader's head.

While he was stomping on the other bird until it saw stars, he used the momentum to appear next to another bird and slammed his fist down hard!

Bang! !

Nami pulled out her long staff, which she hadn't used in a long time, and relying on her combat experience from being repeatedly humiliated by Goku, she successfully knocked out a Santorope that was attacking her.

Sanji stood with his hands in his pockets, his face cold, his black leather shoes drawing a cold light in the air as they struck a Santorini bird heavily.

Curry, unarmed, dodged the attack with a fierce glint in his eyes, and delivered a powerful chop to the ground.

Pupu got into position, waited for the right moment, and as a Santoro-beaked bird attacked, it suddenly leaped up and slammed into the bird with a powerful crash.

When it crashed to the ground, the poor bird's neck was straight and its head was raised. It couldn't even let out a scream before its head fell limply to the ground.

Meanwhile, Robin's situation was much simpler.

She crossed her arms in front of her, and a Santo Anri beak that was attacking her was horrified to find itself unable to move, and the bird plummeted straight down from the sky.

Ping-ping!

With the sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground, in the blink of an eye, seven Santorini Beaked Birds fell to Goku and his companions.

The remaining three Santo Anri-beaked birds, upon discovering that their leader and many of their companions had perished here, displayed a human-like expression of terror on their faces.

Forget about saving the leader and his companions, he frantically flapped his wings and fled into the distance.

Soon, they disappeared from Wukong's and the others' sight.

Looking at the seven motionless Santorobe on the ground, Goku couldn't help but lick his lips, already automatically imagining seven fragrant roasted birds.

"Sanji, let's grill them and eat them!"

He looked at Sanji, his eyes sparkling.

In the end, Wukong did not get his wish, because they had already disappeared into the clouds and had no chance to roast and eat the birds.

Sanji promised to roast the birds as soon as they arrived at their destination.

In the clouds, which resembled the sea but lacked its pressure and resistance, Wukong and his companions were wearing cylindrical objects.

This was prepared to ensure they could breathe in the clouds and that their bodies wouldn't get wet.

After all, not everyone can hold their breath for a long time like Wukong.

The sea of ​​clouds they were in was the White Sea, inhabited by all sorts of strangely shaped sky fish.

At this moment, an empty fish that looked like a fish from the side but like a thin plate from the front was swimming not far from the Dream Chaser, curiously looking at this strange creature.

"This...this is a fish?!"

Nami stared wide-eyed at the strange creature that resembled neither fish nor succumb to its appearance, peering through the observation window carved into the barrel and sealed with a transparent membrane.

She remembered what Robin had said before: it wasn't that the island was floating in the sky, but rather that there was a sea floating in the air, which supported the island.

So, what Robin said was true! There really is a sea floating in the air, and there are even fish-like creatures in it!

"I wonder how this tastes." Wukong licked his lips greedily, staring at the fish as if it were food.

But when he saw the fish from the front, he immediately frowned: "It's so skinny, there's hardly any meat on it. Forget it, I don't want to eat it."

The empty fish had no idea that Wukong had given up on its hunting idea because "there was too little meat." After looking at the Dream Chaser for a while and realizing that it wasn't edible, it flicked its tail and swam away.

After that, Wukong and his friends never encountered any other creatures living in the White Sea.

They successfully rushed out of the White Sea, and then, maintaining their speed, continued to rush into the White Sea above.

After an unknown amount of time, when they burst out of the White Sea, Wukong ordered the Ruyi Jingu Bang to stop extending, and the Dream Chaser hovered above the White Sea.

"That's the Sky Island?!"

Everyone's eyes swept across the area and they all noticed an island covered by a forest not far away.

It looked no different from the islands they had seen at sea.

"Could that be the other half of Jaya Island? Is the golden land our ancestors saw really here, just as I suspected?"

Curry couldn't hide his excitement, his eyes burning as he stared intently at the island.

"Hehe, gold, here I come! Hehehehe"

"~~

Nami wore a greedy, infatuated smile, as if she could already see herself sitting amidst piles of gold.

Robin was the calmest and most composed person among them. After observing her surroundings, she picked up a broken piece of wood and casually tossed it into the sea of ​​clouds.

When she discovered that the wooden planks were floating on the sea of ​​clouds just like they were floating on the sea, her eyes flashed, and she immediately judged that this so-called sea of ​​clouds indeed had buoyancy just like a normal sea.

"Wukong, you can take back the Ruyi Jingu Bang now."

After reaching this conclusion, she said it to Wukong.

Wukong nodded and plunged into the sea of ​​clouds.

Before long, everyone suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, and then they found that the Dream Chaser had landed steadily on the sea of ​​clouds.

After everyone regained their footing, Wukong also returned to the ship, holding his Ruyi Jingu Bang.

"Shall we head towards this floating island next?"

"Set off!!"

"Wow!!"

"Sanji, roasted bird, roasted bird, roasted bird!"

"Almost done!"

Wukong and his companions reached a consensus and piloted the Dream Chaser toward the island they believed to be a sky island.

But they didn't know that behind them, in the distance shrouded in mist, lay an island whose foundation was made of clouds, not soil.

Its name is Angel Island, and it is the real Sky Island.

Meanwhile, on God's Island, Enel lay lazily on the sofa, his eyes half-open and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

"Is the real show finally about to begin?"

On the other side, in a secluded place in the White Sea, there exists a village called Cloud Village, inhabited by many Shandians dressed as savages.

At that moment, a little girl sitting on the sea of ​​clouds, hugging her knees, suddenly paused, and murmured, "They're here... so many unfamiliar voices."

After finding a suitable place to dock, Wukong and his companions disembarked and landed on the island.

All seven Santorini birds were transformed into fragrant roasted birds. Everyone except Robin, who didn't want to eat any, had one. Goku even took three by himself and was happily munching on them.

Before long, while others hadn't even finished their whole bird, he had already devoured all three roasted birds.

.

After sucking on his fingers, Wukong smiled happily: "It's so delicious! I really hope I can meet those birds again."

At this moment, he desperately hoped that the three birds that had escaped would bring more of their companions so he could have a good meal.

After all, those three weren't even enough to fill him up halfway.

But his plan was doomed to fail. The three birds that had fled wanted to get as far away from them as possible, and by now they had long since disappeared to who-knows-where. It was virtually impossible for them to meet again.

"The trees here are really huge. Come to think of it, there weren't any trees this big on Jaya Island before," Nami exclaimed, standing on a thick, raised tree root and looking around in amazement.

Once inside the island, all around were enormous trees, some so thick that it would take dozens of people to encircle them, and some hundreds of meters tall, making it seem as if we had entered some incredible primeval forest.

Fortunately, sunlight peeked through the gaps in the branches and leaves, providing light that, while not particularly bright, was enough to make it clear what was happening around us.

Otherwise, it would really give people a creepy and terrifying feeling.

"The living environment here is too different from that of Jaya Island below. It is impossible to determine whether they are the same island based on the natural environment alone."

Robin understood the hidden meaning in Nami's words: if the two islands were the same, the trees and other things would be quite similar.

But that's impossible.

Different living environments bring about huge differences, and now that four hundred years have passed, even if there are similarities, they must have become unrecognizable.

"If, I mean if."

At this moment, Curry, who was walking at the front, stopped, stroked the giant tree beside him, and said, "Do you remember the house I lived in?"

"When I saw it, it was already in a state of being missing half. If this island is indeed the other half of Jaya Island, could the missing half of the house be here?"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this.

Robin didn't react much, because she had already thought of this.

"That's right. If we can find the other half of the house, it will prove that this island is the other half of Jaya Island," Robin said softly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom and a hint of anticipation.

Will things really turn out as they suspect? That's certainly intriguing.

Unbeknownst to them, while they were exploring the island out of curiosity, Enel's four priests were already eager to make their move, waiting in their respective areas for them to come to them.

Anyone who invades the island of gods and offends the gods, no matter who they are, shall be killed without exception!
