From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

The clouds here are as thick as liquid. The vast land and islands are scattered all over, distributed on the thick clouds that look like the sea.

Strange humans with small white wings growing on their backs are now living and inhabiting the islands above the clouds.

Feeling the heartfelt smiles of these Sky Island residents, Kujo Tachibana already knew that Eneel had not arrived yet.

After observing for a while, Kujo Tachibana withdrew his Observation Haki.

The warship on Huoshaoshan did not stop at Gaya Island. About half an hour later, the warship finally stopped at the junction of the waters under the jurisdiction of the G7 and G2 branches.

After the two sides completed the handover, Jiujo Tachibana nodded towards Huoshaoshan and said with a smile:

"General Huoshaoshan, I'm leaving first."

"Next time you come to our G2 branch, I'll treat you to charcoal-grilled sea kings!"

...

After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Kujo Tachibana took Tina back to the Canglong.

However, at this time, Kujo Tachibana did not order to return, as his mind was now entirely on the Sky Island.

Although he had already decided not to eat the devil fruit, the clue of the Thunder Fruit was now in front of Kujo Tachibana, which made him feel conflicted.

Should we eat fruits or not?

At this moment, in Jiujiaoju's mind, it seemed as if there were two little men, black and white, fighting.

The little white man said: Eat!

Devil Fruits are the power of this world!

And among the four emperors who stand at the top of this world, aren’t three of them powerful fruit masters?

Why can’t you eat it?

Not to mention the three admirals of the navy at this time, and Luffy, the protagonist of this world in the future.

They are all powerful fruit holders!

Jiujo Tachibana nodded, his argument was well-reasoned and convincing.

But at this moment, the black man knocked the white man down with one punch!

He roared: You are farting!

No one knows where the power of the devil fruit comes from!

Are you sure that the power of the devil fruit is not a conspiracy?

As the saying goes, everything has a cause and an effect. I don't believe that humans can get power for no reason. You know, free things are the most expensive!

Why are these fruits called devil fruits? Do you know if the souls of humans who eat devil fruits will really be taken away by the devil after they die?

Also, the power of human beings themselves is infinite, but ordinary people are unable to discover it. Now you have the opportunity to embark on this path, so why not cherish it?

As long as you concentrate on practicing kendo and strengthen your body, you will be invincible in a dozen years. Why do you still want to abandon the broad road and blindly pursue shortcuts for the sake of temporary strength?

As soon as the black man finished speaking, the white man rushed up with his fists raised, and the two men fought each other in Jiujoju's mind for a while.

Just like the thoughts of Jiujo Tachibana at this moment, it was a mess...

eat?Still not eating?

This is a problem...

Before Kujo Tachibana could think for long, Amos interrupted his thoughts.

"Lieutenant General Canglong, it's time to go back to the branch."

Kujo Tachibana came back to his senses and nodded.

Regarding the Thunder Fruit, Ju had already made up his mind. No matter whether he ate it or not, he had to get it first and think about other things later!

After the warship started moving, Kujo Tachibana said a few words to his two adjutants, then took a Den Den Mushi and put it in his pocket. Without waiting for the two to object, his figure disappeared from their sight.

...

Ten thousand meters above, there is the white sea.

The air here is very thin. To be honest, for a domineering swordsman like Kujo Tachibana who has an extremely complex breathing method, it has a certain weakening effect.

Because here he needs to spend more time and energy to replenish the oxygen needed by his body.

This also means that the time it takes to burst out his power, as well as the time it takes to recover, are far less than on land.

This is the constraint of the overall environment, just like Aokiji, who has the Ice Fruit, is thrown into the crater, and Akainu, who has the Magma Fruit, is placed next to the iceberg.

But the truly strong ones never complain about the environment...

Jiujo Ju, walking in the air, carefully stepped on the white sea and the thick white clouds.

"Wow..."

The thick white clouds made a sound like flowing water.

"Hmm, I wonder what the fish from the White Sea tastes like..."

The ultimate foodie, Kujo Tachibana, had already imagined the taste of delicious food in his mind before he even started doing anything.

...

Sky Island, outside the temple.

Following the guidance of his Observation Haki, Kujo Tachibana easily avoided the guards of the temple and swaggered into the palace of the current ruler of Sky Island, God Ganfor.

Looking at Ganfor who was concentrating on handling government affairs, Jiujoju coughed lightly to remind him of his arrival.

The sound made by the nine oranges immediately caught Ganfor's attention in this quiet environment.

Ganfor did not put down the feather pen in his hand, but looked in the direction of the sound. He saw an unusually tall man standing quietly in front of him.

The man had a long sword hanging around his waist and was wearing clothes of a style that had never appeared on Sky Island. Looking behind him, under the snow-white cloak of justice, Ganfor could not find any trace of wings.

At this time, Shen Ganful already had a guess about the identity of this strange man.

After all, he was the ruler of Sky Island for decades, although he was suspicious of the purpose of the strange man in front of him.

But Ganfor did not show any panic. After all, if someone really wanted to hurt him, they would not have reminded him of their arrival.

"Are you from Qinghai? What brings you to my Sky Island?" God Ganful looked at Jiujo Tachibana very calmly and asked.

Jiujo Tachibana smiled and explained with a gentle expression:

"Hello, Mr. Ganfor, I am indeed from Qinghai. I don't know if you have ever heard of the world below Sky Island. I am a member of the navy of Qinghai. You can understand that I am like a staff member who maintains law and order on Sky Island."

"As for the reason why I came to Sky Island to find you, it's just that I want to ask you a question."

Ganfor suddenly realized. Although he did not completely believe what Jiujo Ju said, Ganfor did not reject Jiujo Ju's request. He just asked curiously:

"What question do you want to ask me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiujo Tachibana spoke up:

"Sky Island, Bica, Mr. Ganfor, do you know where it is?"

Ganfor nodded. Bika was a small sky island, not far from the sky island he ruled, but not close either.

But why would this man who claimed to be from Qinghai and the navy go to Bicazu? Ganfor seemed a little confused.

Seeing this, Jiujo Tachibana took the initiative to explain:

"I'm going to look for something. Mr. Ganfor, I can assure you that I will never take the initiative to harm anyone from Sky Island, whether it's Bika or anywhere else."

Hearing this, Ganfor nodded.

Most of the humans in the pirate world are relatively trustworthy in keeping their promises, and the stronger they are, the more so, because their own courage is also a part of their strength. A man who can easily break his own promises will find it difficult to become a strong man in the pirate world.

Ganfor lowered his head and used the feather pen in his hand to carefully draw the location of "Bika" on Sky Island for Jiujoju.

After taking the navigation map from Bika, Jiujo Tachibana smiled and nodded to Ganfor, then disappeared from here.

...

It was not until the next day that Jiujo Ju, who had rested for several rounds of air steps, finally saw the green island in front of him.

Jiujo Ju slowly landed in a dense forest on Sky Island Bika.

Without rushing to find the Thunder Fruit, Jiujo Ju turned around and walked into the dense forest behind him. He was hungry and needed to eat...

Ten minutes later, a Sky Island wild boar weighing several tons was dragged by Jiu Tiaoju by its big pig's hoof to an open area in the dense forest.

He pulled out the Thunder Dragon in his hand, controlled the force, and chopped out a small deep pit with one blow.

Jiujiaoju then went around and cut down a few sturdy and suitable trees, cut the larger trees into several pieces, and threw them into the deep pit.

For smaller trees, their branches were cut off, their bark was peeled off, and they were all thrown into the deep pit.

Only a few smooth tree trunks with the bark peeled off were left and put aside for later use.

He wrapped his palm with Armament Haki and rubbed it quickly back and forth a few times on the back of Lei Long's knife. Sparks fell into the deep pit beside him like raindrops, and the dry leaves were ignited instantly.

A raging flame started in the deep pit.

The fire for barbecue cannot be open flame, charcoal fire is needed, so it must be lit in advance.

Open flames will quickly cook the surface of the meat until it is burnt, while the inside will not be cooked through. Only by slowly roasting it over charcoal fire can you get a barbecue dish with excellent taste.

While waiting for the open flame to turn into charcoal, Jiujo Tachibana drained the wild boar's blood, plucked its fur, removed its internal organs, and then made cuts on the thicker parts of the boar meat.

At this time, the Thunder Dragon was flying up and down in Jiujiaoju's hand, just like a kitchen knife.

The processed wild boar was pierced on the tree trunk that had been stripped of its bark.

Then Jiujo Ju pulled out a packet of highly concentrated salt and seasoning made from dried honey from the handle of the Thunder Dragon. After mixing it with fresh water from the island, Jiujo Ju evenly pressed the seasoning water on the wild boar's body and carefully gave it a SPA for more than ten minutes.

After marinating it for about ten minutes, Jiujo Ju, who could no longer wait, finally placed the big wild boar on the wooden rack above the deep pit.

...

The aroma of honey mixed with the smell of spices and wrapped around the aroma of wild boar fat formed a unique fragrance that attracted the animals in the dense forest and caused a commotion.

Fortunately, although these animals’ IQ is not very high, their keen senses allow them to perceive how terrifying this human who suddenly broke in is.

The more the smell of meat spread, the more abnormally these animals retreated into the depths of the jungle.

...

"Gurgle...Gurgle..." The sweet aroma of barbecue spread outside the dense forest, tempting the young man with big earlobes and afro standing near the woods to drool and his stomach growl.

The thin Enel held his stomach and after hesitating for a while, he followed the direction of the fragrance and walked into the depths of the woods.

...

Looking at the man sitting under such a big wild boar, Enel looked at the man's back with envy.

He hadn't eaten for several days, and in Enel's memory, the days when he could have a full meal were very few and far between.

Not to mention, being able to own such a big roasted wild boar!

The reason for all this is simply because Enel is not a Sky Island native, and he does not have wings growing behind him like the Sky Island natives. Discrimination and abuse have accompanied Enel throughout his childhood.

To be honest, it's not easy for him to live till now.

Jiujo Tachibana, who was eating frantically, swallowed the meat in his mouth hastily, without turning his head, and only said vaguely:

"Be hungry!"

"It's okay, come and eat!"

"I can't finish such a big roasted pig by myself."

Jiujiao Ju had already sensed the arrival of an outsider, but the person's life breath was too weak and a little unhealthy, so Jiujiao Ju didn't pay much attention.

Until this person arrived nearby and heard the young man, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, Jiujo Tachibana was not stingy and directly invited him.

"Is it really okay? Can I...eat it too?" Enelu, a young man with big earlobes, asked cautiously.

While chewing the roasted pork that was sizzling and emitting a strange aroma, Jiujo Tachibana said incoherently:

"Of course...you can, you're welcome, come and eat!"

After hearing this, Enel slowly walked forward and carefully sat down opposite Kujo Tachibana, at least five or six meters away, as if he was afraid of disturbing Kujo Tachibana.

After swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth again, Jiujo Ju drew out his long sword Leilong and cut off a large piece of pork belly from the pig's belly. The meat here is rich in fat and not that difficult to chew. It is suitable for people who have been hungry for a long time!

Handing the piece of meat to the young man, Kujo Tachibana also gave him a small knife for cutting meat.

It was not until this moment that Kujo Tachibana finally noticed that the earlobes of this young man with afro were so long!
