Chapter 252: Traveling with Hancock

Hancock stared at Karl with her beautiful eyes, biting her lower lip: "Mm, I'll listen to you."

Hugging Hancock and lying on the beach, simply covering her private parts with clothes, Karl then said: "Have you ever heard of Sky Island?"

"Sky Island? An island in the sky? But, isn't that just a legend?"

Karl said with certainty: "Sky Island is real, 10,000 meters in the sky above the sea."

"I think, before the Seven Warlords system is abolished, you can take your people and relocate to Sky Island. That way, even if the Seven Warlords system is abolished, the Kuja tribe will have a retreat."

Hancock looked at the boundless blue sky in silence, and only after a long time did she say: "But, Amazon Lily is the place where our Kuja tribe has lived for generations. If we leave Amazon Lily, then we..."

"Amazon Lily is not a place, it's the people."

Karl stared into Hancock's sapphire-like pupils and said: "As long as your Kuja tribe is still there, anywhere is Amazon Lily, isn't it?"

Hancock was stunned. Karl's words were like a blow to the head, waking her up instantly.

That's right! As long as the Kuja tribe is still there, where isn't Amazon Lily? Why insist on guarding a barren, resource-poor island?

"Darling, you're right. Then, where is Sky Island? I should prepare in advance!"

"7,000 meters above Jaya Island. The specific route remains to be verified, but don't worry, I'll go over in a few days to see the situation. After I figure it out, we'll consider moving."

Hancock hugged Karl's arm and said seriously: "Let me go with you! I want to see the so-called Sky Island with my own eyes!"

"This..."

Karl frowned, but soon relaxed: "Good, we'll go together then. But before that, I have to solve a small character first."

"What small character? A pirate?"

Karl took a crumpled wanted poster out of his suit: "Fire Fist Ace. Invite him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Fire Fist Ace? But, aren't the Seven Warlords of the Sea already full?"

Karl smiled lightly: "If he is willing, Gecko Moria will be removed from the Seven Warlords. I also judged from this that the Seven Warlords system is nearing its countdown."

"Oh~" Hancock was no longer interested in the Seven Warlords or anything like that; her mind was full of going on a trip with Karl in a few days.

Afterward, Karl played on Amazon Lily for a few days, living an emperor-like life every day, until the Navy Headquarters sent the exact location of the Spade Pirates.

"Hancock, have things been arranged?"

Hancock, wearing a blue deep-V dress, nodded: "Of course, my sisters will take care of Amazon Lily for me."

"That's good, let's go!"

Karl patted Raiu's head, signaling it to hurry up and work.

"Gaa!"

Raiu grew rapidly until it became a behemoth nearly 8 meters long, easily carrying the weight of both Karl and Hancock.

After riding Raiu into the sky, Hancock looked down at the full view of Amazon Lily curiously. This was her first time being in such a high place!

"Your Raiu is still the best. My Salome only knows how to eat every day; after eating, it sleeps. Aside from looking a bit cute, it's useless."

"Hahaha, Raiu is also a foodie. You might not even know, but it likes you the most here. Every time it comes over, it can feast."

"Is that so? How interesting!"

Water 7, the hometown of shipwrights.

A pirate ship docked silently in a hidden corner, and a group of pirates got off the ship.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ As expected of Water 7, the scenery is really not bad! Right, Boss?"

Ace used his hand to block the sun and looked at the dock in the distance, revealing a cheerful smile: "Brothers, time is tight, we must repair and upgrade the ship as soon as possible so we can withstand the winds and waves of the New World."

"Deuce (ship doctor), Mihal (sniper), I'll leave the ship to you two. We'll go find a shipwright!"

"Don't worry, Boss Ace, leave it to us!"

Ace nodded and led his men toward Water 7.

Not long after, a giant black bird appeared in the sky, circling the Spade Pirates' ship.

"Is this the ship?"

Karl nodded: "That's right, this is it. The Spade Pirates. They came to Water 7 probably to repair the ship or something. Let's go down and ask."

"Raiu, land on that ship below." "Gaaah!"

On the deck, Mihal was reading a book when the sky suddenly darkened. Mihal looked up, his eyes widening: "Deuce, come over quickly, something's happening!"

"What happened... my god! What is this monster? Wait, there seems to be someone on top!!!"

Raiu landed steadily on the deck, its figure shrinking continuously. Karl hugged Hancock and jumped down, looking at the two Spade Pirates members guarding the ship with a smile—hmm, didn't recognize them.

"I am Navy Headquarters Admiral Candidate Vice Admiral White Crow. You can call me Karl. You are the Spade Pirates, right?"

Navy Admiral Candidate? Vice Admiral White Crow? It's over, it's over, it's over!

Deuce's expression turned bitter. Wasn't this the Navy member reported in the newspaper a few days ago? Why did he come to the door!

And this woman who was beautiful to an excessive degree, wasn't this the world's number one beauty, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock? Why would she be with the Navy?

"You, what do you want to do?"

Karl smiled lightly: "It seems you are indeed Ace's subordinates. Where is Ace now? I have something to find him for, tell him to come out and see me."

Deuce looked at Mihal, and after a simple exchange of glances, they instantly reached a consensus.

"Don't dream about it, even if you kill me, I will absolutely not tell you the whereabouts of our Captain!"

Karl sneered and pointed at Water 7 not far away: "Do you think I'm stupid? What else can you do when you come to Water 7? Even if you don't tell me, I can find him."

"Besides, I'm not here to find trouble with Ace, don't be nervous. See this? An invitation letter for the Seven Warlords of the Sea! You know what this is, right?" ===== CHAPTER 254 =====
