Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

He already had some guesses, but at this point he couldn't be sure if his guesses were true.

"So...that means...he's going to fall to his death?" Olga asked, her face pale and trembling.

Reina nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens... it should be!"

"An accident? What accident?" Olga's eyes suddenly lit up with a strong will to survive as she looked at Reina expectantly.

“An accident…? Like when we unexpectedly landed on that floating island!” Reina said with a smile, pointing to the floating island not far away.

He had previously speculated that if their final destination wasn't the moon, it would most likely be the Sky Island, since most of the descendants of the moon people lived on the Sky Island.

Those with a pair of small wings on their backs are descendants of lunar people with relatively pure bloodlines, while those without wings are likely assimilated after intermarrying with Earthlings, which is why their wings disappeared.

"A floating island?" Olga looked up and saw a small island surrounded by white clouds floating not far in front of him.

Chapter 49 Sky Island

"Doctor...Doctor...wake up!"

Assie heard Reina calling her, and slowly opened her eyes. Sure enough, she saw Reina and her daughter Olga looking at her with concern.

"Rena? Olga? Where is this?" Asie asked, slightly confused.

“This must be a floating island created by the moon people. Are you feeling better? There are many things here that we don’t understand, so we need you to take a look!” Reina said after helping Asie sit up.

"Sky Island? What Sky Island?" Asie's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise.

Reina recounted how the three of them had been launched from the launch pad in the underwater ruins, helping Assie recall the events.

"So, we're already on the Sky Island?" Asie slowly stood up, looking around as he asked.

“That’s right. The island isn’t big. The control room should be in the center, and the accommodation area is over there, but it’s empty now. The island is well-preserved, and the buildings have been retained. There’s a kitchen, food storage room, entertainment room, and so on. However, the situation in the main control room is a bit strange. Neither Olga nor I can understand it, so we need you to go and take a look!”

Reina pointed to the surrounding buildings and introduced them to Assie.

After arriving at the Sky Island, he and Olga had already explored the entire island. There was no one there; it looked like an abandoned Sky Island. However, it must have been inhabited in the past, as evidenced by the well-preserved buildings.

The only thing they didn't understand was the control area in the center. The two of them couldn't open the door there, and Reina didn't dare to force his way in, for fear of triggering some mechanism that would cause the sky island to fall, which would be terrible.

"Let's go take a look!" Sure enough, Dr. Assie perked up at the mention of this and headed straight for the center.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the control room in the center.

"This is it. The door here can't be opened at all, and I don't dare to do anything reckless, for fear that if I damage the control room, the sky island will lose power and fall down," Reina said, pointing to a closed door.

Without wasting any words, Dr. Assie immediately began to study the surrounding area.

“Let’s go, let’s clean up the area. If the doctor doesn’t come up with anything, we might have to live here for a while!” Reina patted Olga’s head and said.

He can exchange some food and water from the store, so he doesn't need to worry about food for the time being.

Because exchanging food in the store is not cost-effective, Reina never considered exchanging it in the store, even during the previous food crisis.

But things are different now. If they don't exchange for food from the store, they can't get any at all. The food in the Sky Island storage room has long been inedible.

As the sun rose over the horizon, they witnessed a breathtaking view they might never see again in their lifetime.

"It's so beautiful! I never imagined watching the sunrise from above the clouds would be so beautiful!" Olga, who had been asleep, exclaimed after being woken up by Reina.

"Right? Who was it that complained that I woke her up?" Reina said with a chuckle.

"I didn't do it on purpose! I was exhausted last night, falling down and flying back up!" Olga said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Forget it, you can go back to sleep after watching the sunrise! I'll clean out a few rooms over there!" Reina shook his head and said.

"Rainer... Olga! Come here quickly!" Just then, Dr. Assie excitedly shouted to the two of them.

The two exchanged a glance, saw the expectation in each other's eyes, and immediately ran towards the control room.

"Doctor... has he/she made any progress in his research?"

"Father, can you open the door now?"

The two asked at the same time.

"I have accomplished my mission! The things here are made using the same method as those underground ruins, which is why I was able to open this door so quickly. However, there are still many things inside that need to be studied. But I also know that now is not the time, and we don't have enough materials! So let's open this door first!" With that, Dr. Assie began to fiddle with the surroundings.

A short while later, the control room door that Reina had been unable to open opened automatically.

"Come on! Follow us inside. Once inside, don't move around. There are probably some traps inside!" Seeing the door open, Dr. Assie went in first.

"This……"

Once inside, all three were stunned by what they saw.

A huge energy crystal stood in the center, with a control panel beneath it, surrounded by countless wires.

"It's simply a masterpiece! What a great invention!" Dr. Asie exclaimed upon seeing what was inside.

"Doctor, how do we use this thing? Can we get over there?" Reina stood there, unable to help but ask.

"Wait here, I'll go take a look!" Dr. Assie said after considering for a moment.

"Why don't I go first? At least I can protect myself if there's any danger!" Reina grabbed Dr. Assie and said.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Dr. Assie smiled and said.

Seeing this, Reina stopped talking and simply shielded Olga behind him, so that he could protect Olga and get her away immediately should any problems arise.

"Beep beep beep... beep beep..."

After Dr. Assie pressed a few buttons on the control panel, a mechanical sound came from it.

"Phew~ Sure enough, this crystal is the power unit for the Sky Island. Just like before, it's powered by electricity, and the crystal also has the same automatic power-gathering function as before!" Seeing the machine activated, Dr. Asie smiled and said to the two, "You can move now. I've deactivated the defense system here!"

"Doctor, can you control this floating island now?" Reina stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Such a large crystal, it must be worth a lot of money when it's sold!" Olga couldn't help but say, looking at the huge crystal in front of her.

“This crystal is priceless! The patterns engraved on it that gather electricity, once deciphered, would be a huge asset to the entire world, not to mention the technology contained in these machines! I’ll try to see if I can control this floating island!” Dr. Asie shook his head and said.

Under the expectant gazes of Reina and Olga, Dr. Asie began operating the control panel.

Before long, they felt the entire sky island begin to shake.

"Don't panic, the Sky Island has been activated and its power facilities are complete. Moreover, this crystal has been here for who knows how long, and it contains terrifying amounts of electricity, enough to power the Sky Island!" Asie reassured the somewhat panicked Reina and Olga.

You can't blame them for being timid. At such a height, if something goes wrong and they fall, they really will have nothing left!

"Can we descend now?" Reina asked, looking at the giant, glowing crystal.

"There shouldn't be any problem. I'll land the sky island next to the small island we just met!" Dr. Asie said, and began to control the sky island's descent.

The entire sky island began to shake even more violently, and after a while, it slowly began to stabilize.

"Doctor, are all the facilities on this floating island intact?" Reina suddenly asked, his eyes lighting up.

"They should all be intact, but after so long, some parts are probably nearing their limit. However, as long as there are no problems in the control room, there shouldn't be any major issues!" Dr. Asie shook his head and said.

"Then tell me... what if we use this sky island as our pirate ship...?" Reina asked, staring at Assie.

"This..." Assie was stunned by Reina's idea and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"That's right! If we turn this place into our pirate ship, we won't have to be afraid of the Navy anymore. We can fly in the sky, how can the Navy come up? After we reach a small island, we can sneak down. It's perfect!" Olga said happily as soon as she heard Reina's suggestion.

"It's not impossible. As long as the power unit is working properly, it's certainly possible. However, many things here will need repair and improvement, especially some wiring and equipment that need to be replaced. If you really intend to use this as a pirate ship, the cost could be quite astonishing!" Dr. Asie said after thinking for a moment.

"Moreover, there is also a problem with the power source. We have this energy crystal here, so there is no problem with moving around for the time being. However, if we use it as a pirate ship and keep moving around, the energy inside will eventually run out. Replenishing it will definitely be quite troublesome!"

The entire control room may need to be expanded to accommodate some power generation equipment!

“Don’t worry about Bailey. As long as we find my older brother Edward Newgate before the energy in the crystal runs out, we’ll be fine!” Reina said with a smile.

He hadn't even met Newgate yet, but he was already eyeing his treasure.

Newgate, who was sailing in some sea area in the New World, sneezed a few times, rubbed his nose, and said, "What's going on? Am I getting a cold?"

"Dad, are you alright? Did you drink too much at the banquet last night?" Marco asked with a worried look.

"Glug glug glug... What's a little bit of wine? It's just a bit of a pity that the white wine Reina left behind has all been drunk, otherwise we could have had a much better time last night!" Newgate said with a loud laugh, not taking the earlier incident to heart at all.

Seeing that their father was alright, the crew members went back to doing their own things.

"Boom boom boom..."

On Reina's side, after a long and slow descent, the sky island finally landed in the sea, stopping next to the small island they had previously landed on.

"Finally... we're back!" The three of them exclaimed in unison as they looked at the small island beside them.

"I'll sail the pirate ship over here, then transfer everything to the Sky Island. After that, we'll use the Sky Island to go to the Radle Sea to find my brother's Whitebeard Pirates!" Reina said, pointing to their pirate ship not far away.

"I don't know if we have enough energy to fly there. As you just saw, the flight speed of the Sky Island is quite slow. By the time we reach the Radle Sea, the Whitebeard Pirates will probably have already left!" Dr. Asie shook his head and said.

"No matter what, let's get to the next island first and buy everything we need on the sky island! Doctor, give me a list later. We'll land early, I'll use the water lizard to land on the island, buy all the materials, and then Olga will come to pick us up in our pirate ship. Once we're in a deserted area, we'll transport them to the sky island! How about that?" Reina said after thinking for a moment.

Chapter 50 Aquaculture Plan

After getting the entire pirate ship onto the sky island, Reina and his two companions took off again from the sky island. Reina also tested it out, and after raising the Whitebeard Pirates' flag on the sky island, the system actually recognized the entire sky island as a pirate ship.

So, in the time that followed, Reina had an abundance of things to do!

After Dr. Assie set the direction for the Sky Island to move forward, the three of them began to give the Sky Island a thorough cleaning. The whole job took them almost three days to finish hastily.

Besides sanitation, many buildings on the sky island need repair, but due to a lack of materials, the repair plan has to be shelved.

After discovering that electricity, a form of energy that could be used for sustained attacks, was effective in training his Black Emperor abilities, Reina tried using electricity for training. However, the electricity supply on the Sky Island was limited and couldn't withstand Reina's wasteful use of it.

So Reina changed his approach. After lighting a large fire in an open space, he went directly into the sea of ​​fire and began to absorb the energy of the flames to train his abilities.

However, when he activated his ability to absorb fire damage, he found that he absorbed the fire itself, and the damage was quite limited, so it did not have a good training effect at all.

After many attempts, Reina finally had to give up on this clever trick and start training in a down-to-earth manner.

His main focus now is on mastering the Black Emperor's abilities. After what happened on the launch pad last time, he realized that his mastery of the Black Emperor's abilities had always been very weak.

Therefore, aside from physical training, he devoted all his training time to mastering his Black Emperor abilities.

"According to the recorded pointer, there should be a small island not far from us. Should we descend now?" Dr. Asia's voice came from the control room.

Dr. Asie rarely leaves the control room now. Apart from controlling the Sky Island there, he spends his days researching the technologies left behind by the Moon People.

If it weren't for the limitations of the experimental materials and equipment, Reiner believed he would have achieved very good results.

"Let's descend a bit first and see! I'll take Chabes down first, and you guys hide in the clouds!" Reina said after thinking for a moment upon arriving at the control room.
