One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The next second, large swathes of white clouds shattered and scattered, the sea of ​​clouds being torn apart by a powerful force.

A huge, light red object burst through the clouds, leaping high from the sea of ​​clouds and rushing towards the location of the Qilin.

"What is that?! A sea king?" Bepo turned pale with fright.

"There are sea kings in the sea of ​​clouds? They're so big, won't they fall in? The sea of ​​clouds doesn't have a seabed." Skylark was full of surprise.

"What a huge crab! I wonder how much tender crab meat is inside those claws?"

Rorschach's throat bobbed, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The enormous object that pounced on the Qilin was a large, bluish-red crab, even bigger than the Qilin itself.

At this moment, the crab, which is the size of a small hill, is opening its two huge claws, each tens of meters long, and clamping them on the left and right sides as the crab slowly closes its wings.

It seems that the noise from the flanks closing attracted it.

"Is this the time to talk about this? Run! We're going to be eaten by a giant crab!" Bepo screamed, clutching the bear's head.

"Our first adventure feast on the Sky Island is settled, everyone. Let's eat this giant crab later."

Rorschach grinned, extended his index finger, and pointed it at the large crab that was blocking out the sunlight.

"Ten million volts, a barbecue feast."

Zizizi!

A dazzling bolt of electricity shot out, easily piercing through the forehead of the crab with its sturdy shell.

Then, bursts of dazzling lightning erupted from the inside out of the giant crab, completely bathing this crab, which was several times larger than the Qilin, in the shimmering light.

The noise of thunder echoed far and wide over the boundless white sea.

A dozen seconds later, the ferocious crab slammed heavily onto the sea of ​​clouds to the side of the Qilin.

A rich, meaty aroma, completely different from that of sea kings, wafted from the smoking carapace and filled the mouths and noses of everyone on board, making their mouths water.

"It smells delicious! Parmel, bring the food up. Let's eat something and then go see those beautiful floating islands."

Luo Xia said with a smile.

"Yes!" Palmer excitedly grabbed the huge anchor and threw it out.

The boat was bustling with activity, and everyone had a smile on their face.

No one noticed that a wooden motorboat was quietly floating in the sea of ​​clouds thousands of meters away.

A motorboat, perhaps it should be called a "powerboat".

This is a unique product of the Sky Island.

It utilizes a special product of the Sky Island, a wind-blown shell that can store wind ejected from it, which is then embedded in the tail to generate wind power for propulsion.

At this moment, aboard the Veyron, a man with white wings on his back slowly lowered his binoculars, his brows furrowed.

"When did Enel get involved with the people from Qinghai? Is that guy plotting something again? No! I have to inform the chief and Wepa immediately."

Chapter 298 Ace's Adventures

Going back a few hours in time.

"Is my life really going to end so easily? Damn it! I've only just embarked on the Grand Line, and I was supposed to be searching for the meaning of life! Get moving, ahhh... I'm out of energy... glug glug."

Amidst the chaotic, towering ocean currents, Ace lay limp and powerless, swept along by the raging seawater, hurtling towards the sky thousands of meters above.

Deus, whom he had previously captured, had long been swept away by the sea and his whereabouts were unknown.

They didn't even know if they were dead or alive.

The thought of possibly losing his comrade Deus filled Ace with overwhelming grief.

Mingming had traveled smoothly from the East China Sea, and although he had encountered a few formidable opponents, he had managed to get through them without any major incidents.

I never expected to encounter such a powerful opponent in such a small place as Magic Valley Town.

"That navy guy is a monster, no wonder he's a disciple trained by my grandfather. He's practically a monster of strength. If I punched him, I felt like my body could be smashed to pieces at any moment."

Although he lost his strength after being submerged in seawater because he was a Devil Fruit user.

But Ace's strong vitality prevented him from drowning in the sea so easily.

After an unknown amount of time, Ace, swept along by the seawater, was finally propelled by the first towering current, breaking straight through the thick clouds of the White Sea and shooting upwards to a height of ten thousand meters.

As the seawater scattered and fell, Ace was finally able to escape from the water.

The moment I left the seawater, the feeling of weakness and exhaustion vanished almost entirely.

But Ace still hadn't recovered his strength and could only watch helplessly as he was thrown far away, tracing a long parabola in the air before falling towards a lush green island below.

"Ahhhhh~"

As he gesticulated wildly, an extremely shrill scream emanated from his mouth, echoing across the sky thousands of meters above.

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place in the forest of Cloud Island below.

"You damned Shandians, are you trying to steal the precious Bass from the Holy Land again? Today is your end! Kill them!"

A group of men dressed in white uniforms, with snow-white wings on their backs, and wielding various weapons, were attacking three men and women who also had wings on their backs.

"Hmph! You're nothing but lowly priests. Do you really think you can defeat us? Don't even think about it! We are the descendants of the great warrior Calgara, the warriors of Shandia! Burning Cannon!"

The obese Shandian warrior, Jebo, raised the black cannon he was carrying on his shoulder, aimed it at the three charging priests, and pressed the button on the cannon.

The next moment, a blazing beam of fire shot out from the cannon barrel, kicking up a cloud of dust in the woods.

The three priests were too close to react and were struck by the scorching flames.

Immediately, painful screams came from their mouths.

The three bodies transformed into three burning fireballs, which were blasted far away.

"Damn it! Die! Flame Impact!"

A wiry priest leaped high into the air and opened his palm toward Jiebao.

A bright red seashell was visible in his palm.

A red light is shining from the hole in the seashell.

"Watch out! It's a Flamebe that has absorbed the flames!" shouted Rachi, a beautiful Shandian warrior who looked like an angel.

"Too late! You'll just become roast meat!"

The priest grinned maliciously, and a long tongue of fire shot out from his open palm, like a flaming whip, licking towards Jiebao.

A wave of intense heat hit him, causing a fine layer of cold sweat to appear on Jiebao's forehead.

Without hesitation, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground, two violent jets of air shooting out from his heels, propelling his obese body to dodge to the side at lightning speed.

boom!

Scalding flames flew past his side, the terrifying heat scorching the hair on Jiebao's head.

"Did you move aside? But how many times can you move aside?"

The priest was not discouraged. One by one, his companions gathered around him, opening their palms to reveal the fiery red Flame Shells.

These are shellfish native to the Sky Island; they can absorb and store flames, then release them.

It is usually used as an ignition device, or directly as a flamethrower.

The power depends on the amount of flame stored inside.

Seeing that all twenty-odd white-robed priests had raised their hands and were pointing them in their direction, the female warrior Rachi's face turned pale, and she shouted urgently, "Brahham! Use Flash Beam!"

"Okay, close your eyes!"

With a wave of his hands, Braham, who was wearing a hat, produced two dazzling golden seashells, which he pressed down heavily.

The next instant, it was as if a sun had appeared in the forest.

The blinding light instantly illuminated the forest.

Caught off guard, the priests screamed in pain, covering their eyes stung by the bright light and instinctively backing away.

"Run! Use the Wind-Spitting Shell to escape! Don't get entangled with them, it'll be troublesome if the Four Priests arrive..."

Before the angelically beautiful Lachi could finish speaking, a white blade, like a nimble white snake, darted and twisted through the forest, piercing through Braham's abdomen with a soft "thud" in his horrified gaze.

In an instant, blood spurted from his back, staining Jiebao's body, who was following closely behind, bright red.

"Brahham!" Jiebao's eyes instantly turned red. His fat body lunged forward, raising the cannon in his hand and aiming it at a man wearing sunglasses, carrying a white greatsword, who was walking leisurely out of the forest.

Rachi's face immediately turned ugly. "It's Ohm, one of the Four Priests! Jabo, run! You're no match for him!"

But Jebo, enraged by his companion's serious injury, couldn't listen to anything else and, with red eyes, pulled the trigger on Ohm as he approached.

boom!

Intense flashes of light erupted from the cannon barrel, shooting towards Ohm as he approached.

"Iron Shield!"

Ohm swung his white longsword and lightly placed it on the ground in front of him.

The next second, the white sword expanded and grew larger, changing shape and quickly transforming into a wide white shield, blocking his way.

boom!

A large burst of fire exploded on the surface of the white shield, and a surge of heat spread outwards.

But Ohm behind the shield was completely unharmed.

"You Shandians who lack self-awareness, do you even know how powerful your opponent is?"

Ohm held up the white shield in his hand horizontally.

The large white shield twisted and stretched, transforming back into a white longsword. It rapidly extended, resembling a spear, and shot out with a whoosh. Before Raqi's horrified and furious gaze, it pierced through Jiebao's thigh before quickly retracting.

Everyone heard a crisp "plop" sound, and Jiebao groaned as he knelt on the ground.

Ohm's face showed satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad. The barbarians of Shandia should kneel like you, instead of thinking about taking over the Sanctuary and stealing Bass all day long."

The Sanctuary is Gaya Island, which fell from the sky four hundred years ago.

Bas is the soil from Gaya Island.
