Chapter 261

"That's right, that is Jiayadao, which was blasted up by the Knock-Up Stream. Tsk tsk tsk, to be able to take such a large island to the sky, how massive must that Knock-Up Stream be!"

Hancock nodded silently. Looking down at the whole island, she felt it was somewhat similar to her Amazon Lily. Hmm, the landscaping is done very well; her people should be able to adapt quickly once they arrive here.

Moreover, this place is very large, more than three times larger than Amazon Lily. Most importantly, it is very hidden, so there is no need to worry about being found by the Navy after withdrawing from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After all, it took Karl so much effort to bring her up, so it would be even harder for the Navy to organize a fleet to invade this place.

Karl saw Hancock's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and he knew she must have taken a fancy to this place. He couldn't help but hug Hancock's slender waist and smiled lightly: "Want to go down and take a look?"

"Mm, I'll listen to you."

*Rumble~*

A muffled thunderclap. Karl looked up at the sky. Several lightning snakes were swimming in the clouds, as if it were a precursor to a storm.

But Karl curled his lips. Flashy, do you think I'll pay attention to you?

"Raven, land down there."

"Caw!"

Five minutes later.

Karl and Hancock were already in the primeval forest. Only after arriving did they realize how tall the trees here were.

"My God! No one has been here for hundreds of years, right? I remember the trees on Jiayadao weren't this big, were they?"

"Who knows? After all, the climate conditions at an altitude of 10,000 meters must be different from below. It's very reasonable and logical for some mutations to occur."

Hancock nodded thoughtfully, then frowned, suddenly looked in another direction, and whispered: "There are snakes here?"

"Snakes? It's normal to have snakes in a primeval forest, right?" Karl closed his mouth immediately after saying that, because Hancock had already closed her eyes, and a hissing sound was coming from her mouth.

Harry Potter? No, Parseltongue? That's right, it must be Parseltongue.

The Kuja tribe, the Kuja tribe—you can tell just by hearing it that they are good at playing with snakes. Hancock is very skilled at it; Karl has deep personal experience with this.

The snake Hancock mentioned must be the giant snake in the story. 400 years ago, this creature was called the God Kashigami. This one should be the grandson of the God Kashigami, the Lord of the Sky, Nola.

Because it has a very long lifespan and a huge body, it was worshipped as a deity, and even human sacrifices were offered to it every year.

And Mont Blanc Noland, who came to this island unintentionally, found this ridiculous and came up with the idea to kill this deity. Since then, there have been no more human sacrifices.

However, this one should be the new generation of the God Kashigami. The one killed by Noland should be its father or mother, after all, they are passed down through a single line.

*Crack crack crack~*

A loud noise came from not far away, trees toppled, and dust rose. Not long after, a behemoth crawled out of the deep forest.

It was an incomparably huge python. Karl could only see its massive head and part of its body. How long was it? Sorry, it was completely impossible to see clearly.

Most of its body was lake blue with dark blue stripes, and its pupils were lemon yellow. The most special thing was the two whiskers by its mouth.

At first glance, it looked like a genetically modified perverted giant catfish.

The giant snake stared directly at Hancock, making a hissing sound with its mouth, as if it were scrutinizing her.

Hancock's gaze was cold. She made a strange sound, then extended her white, onion-like fingers, pointed to the ground beside her, and made strange syllables again.

The giant snake nodded, as if it understood Hancock's words, slithered to Hancock's side, lay on the ground, and bowed its head in submission.

"Darling, the pet I just adopted, its name is Nola. What do you think?"

Karl was stunned. Huh? So fast? It didn't even need a burst of Conqueror's Haki to deter it, or to show off a king's demeanor before it was subdued?

"Truly amazing, worthy of being the Empress of the Kuja tribe. Were you talking to it just now?"

Hearing Karl's praise, Hancock smiled into crescents: "Mm-hmm, this guy is actually quite easy to talk to."

"But, this is too fast! It feels like you didn't even say two sentences, and it surrendered directly?"

Hancock snorted proudly: "In this world, no snake dares to refuse me."

Nola on the side nodded hurriedly, indicating that Hancock was right, and looked at Karl with some dissatisfaction, as if saying, how dare you question Her Majesty the Queen?

*Rumble~* Another muffled thunderclap came from the sky. A human-like fear flashed in Nola's eyes, and it subconsciously wanted to run, but Hancock was still there, so it didn't dare to leave.

"Hiss hiss~"

Nola looked anxious, constantly looking up at the sky.

"What's wrong with it?"

Hancock looked at the sky: "It says a man who can summon lightning is coming. It wants us to run quickly, otherwise we'll get hurt."

"Darling, is it an ability user?"

Karl nodded: "That's right, but don't worry too much, I'm here."

*Zzz zzz zzz~* A tooth-aching sound came.

"Yahaha! You're really arrogant! I really don't know if you are ignorant or daring!"

Karl and Hancock turned their heads to look. It was a man wearing a white headscarf with long earlobes, bare upper body, pale skin, wearing lantern pants, and barefoot.

The most eye-catching things were his accessories: thunder drums, gold staff, gold rings, gold toe rings—full of the aura of a nouveau riche.

"Eww~ how can someone have such long earlobes."

Karl shrugged: "How would I know? There are many strange people in the world. His are still acceptable."

Watching the man and woman chatting as if nothing happened, Enel had black lines on his head, and his blood pressure began to rise.

"You actually ignore God! Hehe, ignorant ants, prepare to accept God's judgment!!!"

Enel angrily raised his right hand, which had turned into lightning. Accompanied by a harsh sound, a beam of lightning flew toward the sky, and Enel's hand gradually returned to its original form—an open palm.

Then, Enel revealed a cruel expression and said haughtily: "This is the consequence of angering God!!!"

As soon as the words fell, Enel pointed his right hand at Karl. A loud crash came from the sky, and a huge pillar of lightning descended from the sky, about to land on Karl and Hancock's heads.

Hancock hugged Karl's arm gently, looked at Enel coldly, and even felt that Enel was a bit pitiful.
