Chapter 410
"By then, you'll be on equal footing with me, right?"
Karl waved his hand: "How is that possible? You are over three meters tall! How could I be on equal footing with you?"
Kizaru pouted and smiled, took a look at his watch, and then said: "Oh, sorry, I have to go to the West Blue first. Let's talk next time."
"Goodbye!"
With a whoosh, Kizaru disappeared in front of Karl instantly.
Kizaru left, and Ain wasn't there either, so Karl simply went to find Hancock. In Amazon Lily, it was truly an emperor-like enjoyment.
"Raven, take me to Sky Island."
"Caw! Ahhhhhhh! (Don't you know how to fly with a whoosh?)"
"Shut up, don't you want to be massaged by the people of Amazon Lily?"
"Caw?!"
As soon as Raven heard this, it hurriedly grew larger, flatteringly lowering its head to offer itself to Karl's trouser leg.
"You're rebelling!"
Karl wouldn't go to Alabasta. Mainly, there was no point in going, and with Smoker's ability, it should be fine.
As for the likes of Ace and Luffy, Karl didn't count on Smoker being able to catch them. After all, they were a bit weird, and Smoker definitely couldn't handle them.
Actually, what Karl is most concerned about now is not Luffy, but Ace.
If he remembered correctly, it was after the Alabasta incident that Ace found Teach, had a fight, and then knelt.
Ace is the fuse that triggered everything, and he must not have any accidents.
"Caw, caw!!!"
Raven's cry interrupted Karl's train of thought. Karl couldn't help but pat Raven's back: "What's wrong?"
Raven tried hard to stretch its neck, signaling Karl to look below.
Karl looked down and was shocked!
He had flown the route from Marineford to Sky Island on Raven's back at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand. It could be said that Karl knew the situation on this route by heart.
Karl was very sure that there used to be a deserted island here, but now it was gone, leaving only a large black pit under the sea.
As far as Karl knew, there weren't many people who could move an island, and he happened to know two.
One was Oars from 500 years ago, and the other was Shiki the Golden Lion, the user of the Float-Float Fruit.
The former was already dead and was sleeping on the Thriller Bark, while the latter was highly likely.
Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Lower altitude, let's see what's going on!" "Caw!"
On the sea level, Karl carefully examined everything around him.
The coastline was still there, and the seawater was very turbid, indicating that the deserted island hadn't been moved for long, very likely in the last few days.
Although he passed by here yesterday, it was already night, and the visibility was poor, so he might not have noticed.
"Raven, fly around in a circle."
"Caw?"
"If I tell you to fly, then fly, don't talk nonsense!"
"Caw..."
Raven had no choice but to start flying around the coastline.
"Increase altitude, okay, don't go any higher, keep circling."
Raven flew, and Karl watched seriously, because it was impossible to take an island away without leaving any traces, at most just a little less.
"Stop!"
Karl jumped off Raven's back, shining golden wings condensed on his back, landing steadily on the sea surface, and then the golden wings disappeared, replaced by Holy Light condensed on the soles of his feet.
In this way, Karl could walk freely on the sea surface. Those who didn't know would think Karl was using chakra to tread water.
Come to think of it, the reason Karl chose to stop here was because the seabed here was different from other places.
Because it was a coastline, the seabed here was not deep, about 20 meters, so as long as one had good eyesight, one could easily see the condition of the seabed.
Compared with other places, there were many black stones on the seabed here, extending all the way to the large pit in front.
The deeper you go, the more there are.
What does this mean?
It means that the island was indeed "alive" and pulled up, and it flew in this direction, otherwise it wouldn't have left a stone path.
Karl turned his head to look behind him: "That direction seems to be... the Calm Belt?"
"Raven, let's go, fly toward the Calm Belt."
"Caw!"
Karl had basically determined that the person who took the deserted island was Shiki the Golden Lion, and he also went toward the Calm Belt.
If Karl sped up, he might be able to run into this guy.
Shiki's ability is very important, at least to Karl.
Although he couldn't guarantee that he could get Shiki's Float-Float Fruit now, Karl was very sure that only when the Golden Lion died could the Float-Float Fruit see the light of day again.
Raven was very fast, moving all the way toward the Calm Belt.
After flying for nearly 5 hours, almost out of the Calm Belt, he still gained nothing.
Karl couldn't help but shake his head. The sea is too big after all. It's not that easy to run into someone. If it were so easy to find someone, why would the Navy wander around everywhere to catch a pirate?
"Caw! (Hungry)"
Karl waved his hand: "Got it. Look, there's a deserted island ahead, let's go there and rest for the night!"
This was an island on the edge of the Calm Belt. Although it was large, it was also very dangerous because the island was full of ferocious beasts.
"Roar~"
Bang~
A tiger the size of a three-story house was knocked down by Karl with one punch. When it fell to the ground, it made a loud noise, and dust scattered.
"You too, wouldn't it have been better if you had just honestly let me slide-tackle you to death?"
"Raven! Raven, get ready for dinner!"
A vague cawing sound came from the forest in the distance.
After a while, Raven flapped its wings and descended from the sky, but it seemed to be holding something in its mouth.
"Eh, why did you become a vegetarian? Did you change your... hmm?"
Seeing Raven offering the fruit it was holding in its mouth to Karl's palm like a treasure, Karl was shocked.
The fancy appearance, the winding patterns, isn't this a Devil Fruit?
"Where did you find it?"
"Caw, caw, caw, ah, ah, ah!"
Raven cawed for a long time, but Karl didn't understand much. Anyway, he could only understand bird language like "eating" or "tired."
"This fruit... tsk tsk, it should be a Zoan type. I don't know exactly what it is. Good luck, Raven!"
"Caw, caw (Aren't you going to add a meal?)"
Karl understood this sentence and pointed to the big tiger on the side: "Look, this is our dinner."
Southern part of the deserted island, sky.
Master Shiki, who had been busy all day (moving the island), twisted his neck and said to a group of meteorologists.
"Finally left the Calm Belt. Let's stop here for today, and continue tomorrow."
Shiki left with a "ding, ding, ding-ding."
