I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

This sky island called Birka was completely destroyed by Enel, leaving no trace.

"The God of Thunder from Skypiea? I see."

Newgate was also taken aback, but after a moment he pressed for an answer:

"So, what does this have to do with the baby girl?"

“Newgate, I heard from the ship's doctor, Miles, that this baby girl isn't an ordinary human; she belongs to some unknown demi-human race…”

The Golden Lion paused here, looking at Newgate without saying anything.

Newgate frowned and pondered for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"You mean, this child might be from the Sky Island?"

"The Sky Islanders belong to an extremely rare demi-human race, so even the ship's doctor, Miles, has never encountered them?"

The golden lion smiled and nodded.

Ever since the Liar Rolando was sentenced to death hundreds of years ago, the existence of Sky Island has become an absurd legend in this vast ocean.

Very few people know that Sky Island exists, and conversely, almost no Sky Island inhabitants have ever reached "Qinghai," which is the ground world.

Not just Miles, but the vast majority of people in the world have never seen Sky Islanders.

The Golden Lion continued:

"Newgate, my Float-Float Fruit ability can take you to that sky island called Birka!"

"How about it, how about coming with me to Sky Island and thoroughly plundering that place that was once ruled by Thor Lucien?"

"So that's what you were planning..."

Newgate thought for a moment, then stood up:

"I'll go tell Wang Xige."

"Wang Xige...wait!" The Golden Lion's expression changed slightly as he stopped him.

"What does this have to do with him, Newgate? Your strength combined with my abilities is more than enough to sweep away that sky island, Birka. Why inform King Sieg?"

Having been struck by lightning multiple times, the Golden Lion now has absolutely no desire to have anything to do with Sig.

"Of course we have to tell Wang Xige about something this important."

Newgate stated firmly:

"That child is someone Wang Xige and I raised together. If we could find a cure for her on that floating island..."

Before Newgate could finish speaking, he had already rushed out the door.

Only Shiki the Golden Lion remained, sitting blankly in the room, muttering a curse under his breath.

He really didn't want to get involved with Sieg anymore.

However... the area above Raijin Island is probably filled with lightning and thunder all year round. Approaching the sky island of Pikka above Raijin Island under such extreme weather conditions would be very dangerous for Shiki the Golden Lion.

He genuinely didn't want to work alone.

But if it really came down to partnering with Sieg... Golden Lion sighed and left Newgate's room.

Chapter 662 Whitebeard's Choice

Inside the room.

Sig sat alone at the table, quietly watching the system light screen floating in front of him.

The card of Captain Dragonfly, which possessed the user, appeared on the light screen window.

Captain Dragonfly has two uses, but to Sig’s surprise, although the Possession Card has undergone some changes, it has not become a true S-rank Possession Card: Captain Red Dragonfly.

Possession Card: Dragonfly Captain

Source: Ironclad Little Treasure

Quality: Grade B

Limitations: 1 session remaining, 30 minutes

Abilities: Referee Robot — Omitted.

Refereeing principles --------- (omitted)

Flying dragonfly — (omitted)

Do not kill ------ (omitted)

Captain Dragonfly's Wrath --- When faced with enemies who obstruct a fair duel, Captain Dragonfly will unleash his true power.

Dragonfly Captain's Carousel - The content of the competition can be determined through the carousel prop.

Red Dragonfly – Under certain conditions, it can temporarily transform into the Red Dragonfly Captain.

This card has several additional skills, and it's been clarified that it can temporarily transform into a red dragonfly through some means...

"So, this so-called specific condition is to recreate the original work, first by being beaten half to death by the contestants as a referee, and then by running and reciting lines in the sunset?"

Thinking about this, Sieg hesitated again.

Although the Red Dragonfly captain is strong, he must still abide by the ironclad rules of the duel and cannot act recklessly.

Moreover, the hidden conditions for transforming a B-rank card into an S-rank Red Dragonfly Captain are indeed quite demanding.

Putting everything else aside, being knocked down by a competitor could easily turn into a fatal injury if you're not careful.

"Blue dragonflies are actually quite nice."

Just as Sieg was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

The one who hurriedly entered the room was Newgate.

"Wang Xige, I have something important to tell you..."

Newgate recounted what he had heard from the Golden Lion.

"Sky Island Bika?"

After hearing Newgate's account, Sieg was also taken aback.

If the area above Raiden Isle is the sky island of Birka, then many things can be explained.

For example... after Lucien the Thunder God died, his Rumble-Rumble Fruit was reborn on the nearby sky island of Birka, and was later eaten by Enel.

Enel's Ark Maxim, on the other hand, is a seemingly high-tech vessel, powered by electricity and capable of generating large amounts of thunderclouds...

Although they look different, their functions are clearly very similar to Thor Lucien's golden ship.

This is undoubtedly a very advanced technology; it doesn't look like something Enel would have created.

"So, Enel wasn't the creator of the Ark Maxim; he merely built his own Ark Maxim on Birka based on Lucien's ship? Or perhaps he possessed the blueprints for Lucien's golden giant ship?"

"If this statement is true, then the Sky Island Birka clearly possesses very advanced technology..."

Sieg pondered, and he was beginning to believe Golden Lion's story.

"Sky Island people? Wait, I remember Sky Island people have little white wings on their backs..."

Immediately afterwards, Sieg and Newgate went into the infirmary and turned the baby girl over.

The baby girl's back was very smooth, and there were no small wings as expected.

"She's not from Sky Island, and what the Golden Lion said is wrong."

Sieg frowned.

It is important to know that all the inhabitants of the Sky Island, whether they were the Shandians who once lived in the Blue Sea or the original inhabitants of the Sky Island, all have little wings like angels.

As for the people who live on the sky island without wings... there are only two of them.

"Newgate, you should think this through."

Sieg began:

"This baby girl was already weak and seemed to be suffering from a strange disease. She was used as a sacrifice by the people in the temple."

Sieg first carefully recalled what had happened:

"And when Thor Lucien first appeared, he also tried to take the child back from us."

"Clearly, this child is valuable to Thor Lucien, and he won't give up on him easily."

"So... even if we reach Birka, the sky island ruled by Thor Lucien, we won't find a way to cure her, otherwise Lucien would have done so already."

After hearing what Sieg said, Newgate gradually fell silent.

Sieg added, "The Golden Lion couldn't possibly be looking for you out of kindness to save a child, could he?"

"He has his own agenda, so he's just trying to keep you calm with his words..."

Newgate nodded silently, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"Let's go back to Beehive Island first, and then consider going to Drum Island."

"If there really is no other choice, then think about this sky island called Pika."

After the conversation, Newgate was slightly dejected and left.

Sieg watched his tall but somewhat desolate back, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Edward Newgate, the legendary pirate Whitebeard of later generations, doesn't seem like a real pirate now."

"Perhaps Whitebeard was the real outlier in the Rocks Pirates..."

The Rocks Pirates are not a loving and harmonious pirate crew. Previously, Shiki and Hale fought fiercely over a Cloud-Cloud Fruit, and even Captain Rocks didn't think anything was wrong.

The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates of later generations were not exactly harmonious among pirate crews.

Only one white-bearded man truly treated all his crew members as sons and family.

..........

The battle for Thor Island has come to an end.

But Rocks was no pushover. After returning to Beehive Island, he used various channels to spread the news that the Rocks Pirates had destroyed Thor Lucien.

Thor Lucien wasn't particularly famous in the New World, but he lived for a very long time, a fact that immediately surprised many powerful forces.
