Chapter 259: A Special Way to Go to Heaven

Cricket was stunned, his gaze dull, and he muttered to himself: "Sky Island..."

But very quickly! His eyes became incomparably firm, and he affirmed sonorously: "The Sky Island is real, it really exists!"

"Because I have seen with my own eyes ships falling from the sky!"

"Oh right, and this!"

Cricket turned quickly and walked toward his house, opened the lock, and then there was a sound of footsteps and rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Not long after, Cricket walked out holding a small box and walked to Karl, opening it.

"Look, this is proof of the Shandorian civilization. I salvaged it from a sunken ship on the seabed."

Karl smiled slightly, took the golden totem from Cricket's hand, took a simple look, and said playfully: "However, this cannot prove the existence of the Sky Island, can it?"

"Who says so? This was found in a ship that fell from the sky, how can it not prove it!"

Karl turned his head to look at Hancock. After a brief exchange of glances, Karl nodded at Cricket.

"Since that's the case, I'm relieved. By the way, I'll return this to you." Karl put the golden totem back into the box and patted Cricket on the shoulder.

"As a member of the Navy, I should have captured a pirate like you, but I investigated before coming here, and your crimes are not major, so I'll let you off today."

"But only this once, don't let it happen again."

After speaking, Karl patted Raven on the head, signaling it to start working. Raven let out a slightly dissatisfied 'caw', and honestly transformed into a mount.

Cricket stood there in a daze. What is going on?

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, my hometown is the North Blue, Lvneel Kingdom."

Before Cricket could react, Raven flapped its wings, stirred up an airflow, and soared into the sky.

Cricket watched Karl leave, rising continuously until he was out of sight. Only then did he reveal a faint smile.

"Noland! Did you see that? This is the first time I've met someone from the North Blue who doesn't think you're a liar! Hehe..."

In the sky.

Raven carried Karl and Hancock and rose slowly: 2,000 meters, 3,000 meters, 5,000 meters.

The higher they flew, the slower the speed, as if they were approaching a limit.

"Is Raven okay? It looks very tired..." Hancock stroked Raven's back with some concern.

Karl clicked his tongue, condensed a ball of golden Holy Light, and shouted softly: "Weapon Blessing!"

Raven is a weapon, so putting a Weapon Blessing on it is perfectly fine.

After the golden Holy Light merged into Raven's body, Raven was like it had taken Viagra—fast and energetic. The speed of ascent became faster and faster, and it was about to approach the cloud layer.

Karl took a deep breath and signaled Hancock to get closer to him. Hancock hurriedly hugged Karl's waist. That soft touch made Karl's heart flutter, but he quickly suppressed it. Now is not the time for 'sky-shaking' play.

"Divine Protection!!!"

A dazzling golden halo appeared around Karl, enveloping Hancock within it. When the light dissipated, a golden translucent shield appeared around the two of them.

"Raven, give it some effort, we're about to approach the White Sea!"

"Caw!!!"

Hearing this, Raven flapped its wings desperately, and the speed increased again!

*Poof~*

Raven merged into the cloud layer and continued to fly upward in a sea of white. Not long after, the golden translucent shield seemed to hit something, making a 'pop' sound.

"We've entered the Sea of Clouds. Hancock, get ready!"

"Mm!"

The Sea of Clouds, also known as the White Sea, is like the ocean and has a restraining effect on ability users. However, Karl had already used the shield to cover himself and Hancock, so they could fearlessly enter the Sea of Clouds, but Raven could not.

It was too big, and covering it was too strenuous, so...

"Caw... caw caw caw caw!"

As soon as Raven touched the Sea of Clouds, it immediately began to struggle, its body went limp, and it transformed into its weapon form. Karl hurriedly put it into his system space.

"Is Raven okay?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine once it dries off later."

The shield generated by Divine Protection is similar to the bubbles of the Sabaody Archipelago; it can isolate the air, so it can also float.

Now Karl and Hancock just need to wait quietly to float out of the Sea of Clouds.

But since they are in the sea, there is naturally no shortage of sea creatures that love to watch the excitement. In the vast whiteness, four tentacles suddenly appeared and sucked onto Karl's shield.

"There's actually an octopus here? How magical!"

Although she said that, Hancock wasn't idle. Her Conqueror's Haki erupted with a boom—I am the Queen! Confidence radiates light!

The giant octopus, which grew up in the Sea of Clouds, had never seen this before. It rolled its eyes cleanly, its suckers automatically loosened, and it floated toward the surface of the sea.

"Hmph! Vulnerable!"

The White Sea is at 7,000 meters above sea level, and 10,000 meters is the White-White Sea. The Sky Island is located on the White-White Sea, so Karl and the others still need to float up another 3,000 meters.

This was a difficult journey. Karl had to continuously release his ability to maintain the Divine Protection, while Hancock was responsible for deterring those curious Sky Fish.

However, as the saying goes, men and women working together don't get tired. In about half an hour, they successfully floated above the Sea of Clouds, with a pile of frightened Sky Fish nearby.

Karl and Hancock stood on a Sky Fish, waiting for Raven to return to normal—that is, wiping it dry and letting it sunbathe.

"Caw~"

Raven let out a weak cry. Karl flipped his hand and took out a pile of food, and also put a Weapon Blessing on it. Raven immediately became energetic and buried its head in the food.

After eating and drinking, Raven was full of vitality and carried Karl and Hancock to continue flying toward the sky.

"That's it, Raven, fly that way!"

This is why Karl wanted to set off from Jaya Island—the distance is short, and it's not easy to get lost. Going up from other places is fine, but the direction is hard to grasp, so why bother?

It's just that, calculating the time, at this point, Enel has already taken over the Sky Island and become the so-called God. It's basically impossible to bypass him.

But it's not a big problem. After all, Enel is just a bumpkin who hasn't seen the world. If he could learn a few moves from Kizaru and not be so arrogant, the whole sea would be his to roam. Let alone Karl, even the Four Emperors would have no way to deal with him.

After all, with his speed, you really can't catch him if he wants to run.

But, the current Enel is a bit 'chuunibyou' and arrogant, while Karl and Hancock are high-end players who have mastered the three types of Haki. Just by acting a little, taking down Enel will be easy.

Upper Yard, God's Domain.

*Thump*, a red apple with only one bite taken out of it was thrown to the ground by a man with long earlobes. The man revealed a playful expression.

"To think there are outsiders who dare to break into God's kingdom. Truly ignorant ants who don't know life from death!"

"Oh well, it just so happens that I, God, am a bit bored. Let me play with you..." ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
