Chapter 76

"Thanks to Laboon!"

"So close!"

"Laboon is great!"

"Is this the Knock-Up Stream?"

Lord Sima Di looked at Laboon, very gratified.

The Straw Hat Pirates finally had someone who could carry the burden again, so they didn't have to look at him when they encountered big problems.

And...

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the legendary scene "The Knock-Up Stream connecting to the Sky Island!", obtained sign-in reward "Son Goku's Kamehameha!"】

——————————

"Son Goku's Kamehameha": A unique skill created by Master Roshi, it is a special move that can concentrate all the energy of the whole body at one point and release it together. Later improved by Son Goku, it is not necessary to let the muscles expand excessively and can even be launched immediately!

——————————

The late-stage Kamehameha can destroy planets, a good reward!

Lord Sima Di was quite satisfied.

"Wait! There's a problem!" Sanji said suddenly. "The ship... is it tilting a bit?"

Being reminded of this,

the excited crowd reacted. The bow of the Going Merry was indeed tilting up, and gravity was trying to pull it back to the ground.

And the Going Merry had already rushed to a height of a thousand meters. The result of falling down could only be...

A Sea King grazed past the Going Merry, smashed into the sea surface, splashing a "small spray," and then that sea area was blood red.

That was the fate of the Going Merry!

Usopp and the others had already subconsciously looked at Lord Sima Di.

But Lord Sima Di just shook his head with a smile. Is this all there is?

"Quick! Full sails!" Facing Nami roared anxiously.

Everyone didn't know why, but hurriedly did as told.

The full sails were immediately filled with airflow, the rising bow was pressed down again, and the Going Merry, which was originally sailing on the current, was carried by the updraft, actually breaking away from the surface of the current, and flew into the sky with gliders against the Knock-Up Stream!

"The Merry is flying!"

"Oh ho ho ho—"

"Great!"

"Facing Nami-san, you're amazing!"

This novel experience that had never happened before, even Lord Sima Di couldn't help but open his hands to feel the wild wind brushing his face, his eyes shining as he looked up at the sky.

Flying Merry?

It's really great!

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the legendary scene "The Going Merry flying to the Sky Island!", obtained sign-in reward "Dumbledore's Occlumency!"】

——————————

"Dumbledore's Occlumency": Occlumency is a magic that resists external mental penetration. It can close the brain so that no information is leaked, used to resist magical invasion and influence. The opposing magic is Legilimency!

——————————

Not bad!

This move will just make Enel's "Mantra" ability fail, so there's no need to worry about being read internally.

—Originally, he planned to use the Word Spirit ability to keep the telepathic shielding Mantra open during this period.

"It's so magical!"

"Facing Nami, what's the principle?"

"How did you know that raising the sails would work?"

Facing everyone's questions,

Facing Nami said confidently: "The Knock-Up Stream is not just a current, but also an updraft generated by the geothermal mixed water vapor explosion. The wind will take us to the Sky Island!"

As expected of a genius navigator!

To be able to keenly perceive the key in such a short time, this is the luck of the Straw Hat Pirates.

As for the unlucky ones...

they were already buried in this seabed.

And on the sea surface,

Masira and Shojo, who had just stabilized the ship, looked up at the Going Merry flying into the sky, all stunned in place!

Although they had planned it this way originally...

but really seeing a ship flying into the sky, their worldview was still shattered!

And in the distance,

Blackbeard, who had been fished out of the sea by his crew, lay on a broken piece of the giant raft, just in time to see the Going Merry on the Knock-Up Stream.

"That ship is actually flying!" Sniper Van Augur...

"Oh hahaha—as expected of the partner I've taken a fancy to! Does the Sky Island really exist? Interesting! Too interesting!" Blackbeard laughed at the sky. "Is it a world-famous big news? I've thought of one! Is liberating Impel Down enough? Oh hahaha—"

The Going Merry flew into the sky, carrying the Straw Hat Pirates through the cumulonimbus clouds, and then landed on a white sea of clouds, unexpectedly not sinking into it but floating on top.

Lord Sima Di's first reaction wasn't excitement, but pinching his throat a bit awkwardly.

The oxygen content at an altitude of 10,000 meters is low, and breathing is a bit difficult.

Fortunately, his physique is strong enough now, and after a short adaptation, there was no major problem.

But looking at Luffy and the others, they were all panting like cows, extremely uncomfortable.

Crocus and Laboon had no reaction.

"Compared to over there, this oxygen is still high," Crocus laughed. "Too much oxygen will oxidize cells, and the Sky Island is also a good place for cultivation."

Lord Sima Di smiled and didn't say much.

He looked at Robin beside him, preparing to manifest some oxygen for her with the Word Spirit ability.

But he was grabbed by Robin.

"No need! Huff—" Robin said with effort. "I don't, want to become a flower in a greenhouse!"

She is an enterprising woman.

Lord Sima Di turned to hold her slender waist and helped her up.

Half an hour later,

everyone had recovered and gradually resumed action.

Luffy and the others looked at the white sea of clouds, running excitedly on the deck.

"Woohoo!"

"Sky Island!"

"We really did it!"

Cricket also looked around with emotion. Who would have thought that the Sky Island really exists?

Then...

what about the City of Gold?

At this time,

Usopp showed off: "Since we've arrived at the Sky Island, let me, the number one brave man on the sea, go for a swim and come back!"

Saying this, he was about to dive into the sea of clouds, but was grabbed by the ankle by Crocus, who had flashed over, and the whole person was slapped face-first onto the ship.

It looked very painful.

Usopp, who was thrown onto the deck, jumped up immediately!

"Crocus-old man, what are you doing!"

"I'm saving you, idiot," Crocus said. "Where do you think we are? Below is not the seabed."

What's below the clouds?
