Chapter 433: Visitors from the Blue Sea
The Saruyama Alliance.
"Boss, it's bad! Night is coming from the southwest—it's the Cumulonimbus Emperor Cloud!"
The Cumulonimbus Emperor Cloud arrived unexpectedly early. With no other choice, the Saruyama Alliance had to quickly send men down to explore the currents and then send the Straw Hat crew across.
"Report! Confirmed: the Knock-Up Stream is at the 12 o'clock position. A giant creature has been detected at the 9 o'clock position!"
Before the Straw Hat crew could even react, the entire ship began to shake violently, and an unprecedentedly massive whirlpool appeared in front of them!
Not long after, a massive Knock-Up Stream erupted from the whirlpool, wrapping everything in its vicinity and carrying it toward the sky.
The Straw Hat crew made it to the sky without incident. Diqi expressed his regret.
"These guys really aren't afraid of death! Consider them lucky. Anyway, quite a few Supernovas have come to Paradise recently; taking their heads to negotiate with the World Government will be just as useful."
"Let's go!"
The White Sea.
"Cough, cough~" "Cough, cough, cough, cough, ah!"
At this moment, the Straw Hat crew was in a sorry state, partly from swallowing seawater and partly from the thin air of the Sky Island.
After Luffy coughed up the seawater, he saw the surrounding scenery out of the corner of his eye and was instantly overcome with excitement.
"Hey! Everyone, look! Everything around us is white!"
Chopper opened his mouth in shock; no one knew why his jaw could always open so wide.
"It's white and soft. Is it a cloud or cotton candy?"
"We're on a cloud, so why haven't we fallen through?"
Chopper shook his head, indicating he didn't know either, but he felt like someone was missing.
Seeing Usopp rolling his eyes nearby, Chopper rushed over.
*Slap, slap, slap*—a series of rapid-fire slaps: "Oh no! Usopp isn't breathing!"
"What?!"
Fortunately, Chopper was a doctor. With his help, Usopp spat out a large mouthful of seawater and woke up.
"Ugh, where am I... Hmm? What! Isn't this a cloud? There are too many clouds, aren't there? What is this!!!"
Nami glanced at the log pose on her wrist; the needle pointed diagonally upward, rather than straight toward the sky as it had on Jiayadao.
Did this mean...
"We've arrived at the Sky Island. That means this is the so-called Sky Sea!"
"But why is the needle still pointing upward?"
Robin was about to say something, but there was a strange movement at her waist. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she took out the corner of the Vivre Card Karl had given her.
She saw the Vivre Card slowly moving forward in her palm.
"Karl..."
Nami tilted her head to look at Robin: "What's wrong?"
"Karl is nearby."
"Is that the Navy Hero Karl?" Usopp asked.
Robin nodded: "That's right. This is the Vivre Card he gave me. To have this kind of reaction means Karl isn't far from us."
Could it be that Karl was also on the Sky Island?
Yes, that's right. A few days ago, Karl had mentioned he had been to the Sky Island, though she hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.
Amazon Lily, Empress's Palace.
Hancock was constantly changing clothes because today she was going to accompany Karl to Angel Island.
"Does this look good, my dear?"
Karl glanced at Hancock, who was wearing a sky-blue formal dress, and smiled slightly: "Don't be silly. You are the world's most beautiful woman; any clothes you wear look good."
Hancock gave Karl a coquettish glare. He knew how to talk, but she still felt it wasn't quite right because Karl was wearing a white suit today, and she felt they didn't match.
Hmm, the cream-colored qipao from earlier was better.
After waiting another quarter of an hour, Hancock finally put on an outfit she was satisfied with. The cream-colored qipao combined with gorgeous jewelry made her look graceful and luxurious, radiating a lethal attraction from head to toe.
"My dear, let's go!"
Angel Island.
Seeing the raven in the sky, Gan Fall couldn't help but straighten his posture. Once the raven landed, he walked quickly to the front.
"Lady Hancock, Lord Karl, welcome to Angel Island."
Hancock's face was as cold as frost. She said coldly: "Gan Fall, the gold has already been given to you. Where are the Sky Dials I requested?"
"Please rest assured, the first batch of Sky Dials has already been placed in the warehouse. I can take you and Lord Karl to see them. If there are no issues, I will arrange for people to send the Light Dials to Amazon Lily."
"Hmm, that's good. Hancock, let's go take a look!"
The ice melted, and Hancock smiled and nodded: "I will listen to you."
"Mr. Gan Fall, Mr. Gan Fall!"
Gan Fall signaled wildly with his eyes, indicating not to make a scene. Didn't they see the supreme ruler of the Sky Island was here?
"Cough, cough. Speak if you have something to say. What's with this panicked look?"
The soldier who came to report scratched his head: "Uh, actually, it's nothing much. It's just that a pirate ship has passed through the Gate of Heaven and is about to arrive at Angel Beach."
"Pirates?"
Hancock frowned and glanced at Karl: "My dear, if it's pirates, then..."
"Don't worry, it should be the Straw Hat crew. I'll handle it. By the way, do you want to come along?"
Hancock seemed tempted, but considering the disgusted expressions pirates would show when they saw her, she gave up.
"Forget it, my dear, go yourself. I'll head back on my own after I finish checking the Light Dials."
"That works too. I'll be back soon."
Angel Beach.
"Did you come from the Blue Sea?"
Luffy looked at the winged woman in front of him and nodded: "Yeah, we flew up from below. Do you live in this place?"
"Yes, I am a resident here. Welcome to the Angel Beach of Amazon Lily."
Sanji's eyebrows twitched. Amazon Lily? Wait, could it be the legendary country that only has women?
"Miss Angel, Miss Angel, does the Amazon Lily you mentioned mean a country that only has girls?"
Conis shook her head: "Yes and no. The place where I live is called Angel Island, an island under the rule of Amazon Lily. Angel Island has both men and women, but the core area of the Sky Island, which is Amazon Lily, is indeed all girls."
"Ahhhhh! This really is heaven!!!" Sanji wore a lecherous smile.
"Right, my name is Conis, and this is a cloud fox from here, called Su. If you all have any questions, I will do my best to assist you."
Nami immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's great! We have a belly full of questions! In short, this place is just too incredible for us."
"Hehe, alright. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If I know the answer, I will certainly tell you."
Luo Bin glanced at Conis, then looked at the Vivre Card in her palm.
"It's getting closer and closer!"
