Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 124 Under the Wings of Dreams

"Sorry, I don't believe in pie in the sky, so I can't trust you."

Oubey said coldly, crossing his chest.

“But we’re serious!”

Before the tavern owner could say anything, Fryhail, who was driving the boat, couldn't help it and jumped off the boat.

These people have almost risked everything for this voyage, and there is no way they will give up just because of a casual word of distrust from the other party.

"Then why don't you go on your own now that you know the method and have the boat ready?"

This is a reasonable question. Why don't the other party go by themselves but instigate a group of people they are not familiar with?

"because……"

Before Fulaihaier could speak again, the boss, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke out to explain:
"Because we can no longer board this ship."

"Some of us are tied down by our wives and children, or have lost the courage we once had to take risks. In short, there is no way we can move forward."

"Besides..."

He laughed at himself when he said this.

"Those who have ever laughed at 'Sky Island' are not worthy of setting foot on that dreamland."

"A boring reason."

Oubei still couldn't understand what these people were talking about, such as "qualifications" and "dreams", but just when she was about to say something else, Osi interrupted her.

"Obe, call Jin and the others, we are ready to set off."

"Just take this boat."

"Huh? You really want to use a ship of unknown origin? Our ship is obviously bigger and more suitable, right?"

Looking at Osi, who had climbed onto the boat at some point and was stroking the poles with his hands, Obe didn't quite understand why the other party was so persistent.

"This is not some unknown ship. It is the final product of many people's dreams."

"Why are you also talking so much nonsense? Have you been infected by them?"

"No, it was those little guys on the boat who told me."

"brat?"

Oubey turned his gaze towards the flashy ship, but saw no one besides Osi.

"Yes, those little guys in the hoods. They told me all about the ship."

Ossi pointed behind him, but there was clearly no one there.

"Forget it, since you insist so much, I'll go call Jin and the others."

As he spoke, Ober glanced at the tavern owner and Fryhail and others behind him, then walked towards the town.

Jin and the others were not here at the moment, but went to the town for the last time to buy some supplies. After all, they had to leave today anyway.

"Remember to come back before ten o'clock, otherwise you will miss this opportunity and have to wait until next time."

The tavern owner reminded him, but Oubey didn't respond and just left.

……

"Well, can you tell me the specific method now, Mr. Christ Leka?"

After Obe walked away, Osi jumped off the boat and walked across to the tavern owner and asked.

"Huh? I don't remember ever telling anyone my full name. How did you know it?"

The tavern owner looked surprised.

Ever since the accident twenty years ago, he has been keeping a low profile. There are only a handful of people on the island who know his name, including the old pirates.

How did this foreign kid, who had only been on the island for a few days, know this?
"Of course your ship told me."

Ossi pointed with her thumb at the pirate ship behind her that matched her hair color.

"And it's not just you. I know the names of all the people behind you. Right, Fryhair?"

Ossi tilted his upper body and greeted Fryhail behind him, looking past the tavern owner in front of him.

"Uh... haha~" Facing Ossie's smiling face, Freyhall scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

"My ship..."

When the tavern owner heard what Ossi said and thought about the hooded man she had just mentioned, he probably guessed something.

"Ha~ Seriously, I left you there alone for such a long time, and you still..."

"I really am an unqualified captain."

Blinking his slightly red eyes, the tavern owner, also known as Leica, quickly composed himself and began to tell his plan.

"Ahem..."

"Listen up, kid. The only way I know of to reach Sky Island is to ride the 'Sky Current'—a strange current that suddenly rushes from the sea surface into the sky."

"I won't go into detail about the principles behind these currents. In short, they are a very dangerous natural disaster, and generally speaking, they should be avoided at all costs when sailing."

"But unfortunately, if you want to send an entire ship and its crew into the sky in one go, there is only this life-threatening method."

At this point, Leica's voice paused, as if he was recalling something from the past.

"Well, I know that."

Osi nodded. She remembered that this kind of current was recorded in the logbook, and she had also heard Wright talk about it last night.

As for the danger...it's just bungee jumping from a height of 10,000 meters, how dangerous can it be?

"Ahem! Let's continue."

After recovering from the sadness of the past, the tavern owner continued to talk about his plans.

"According to my guess, the location of the 'Sky Island' is most likely due to the movement of a cloud layer called the 'Jidi Cloud'."

"It is an extremely ancient and thick cloud layer. According to legend, it is thick enough to support objects."

Listening to the other party's description, Osi inexplicably thought of Kaido's flame cloud, which was also a magical cloud that could easily carry his huge dragon body.

"So, my plan is to use the surging ocean current to send you to the Jidi Cloud. Then you can find the legendary Sky Island on your own."

The steps are straightforward and not difficult to understand.

But there are still problems...

"But I don't see any 'Sky-Rising Ocean Current' or any so-called 'Emperor Clouds' right now."

Osi put his hands on the awning and looked towards the sea, but saw that the sky above the sea was clear and there was no sense of anything strange happening.

"Don't worry, they will come, they will definitely come! And the time is this morning!"

The frequency of the turbulent current is about five times a month, while the appearance of the cumulus cloud is irregular. The only sign is that the sky will suddenly darken the day before its appearance.

This plan will only be feasible when the Jidi Cloud appears right above the rushing ocean current.

Originally, this kind of coincidence was something that could only be encountered by chance, but the tavern owner now firmly stated that the next time the two would meet would be this morning!
This is the conclusion that a man named Christer Leka came to after more than ten years of observation and recording.

Both 'Emperor Cloud' and 'Sky-High Sea Flow' will appear before noon today!

……

"Although I know it's shameful to entrust you with something that could potentially cost you your life..."

The tavern owner said this and bowed deeply to Ossi, and everyone behind him also lowered their heads.

"But, please! Red-haired little devil! Take me and our dreams to the high sky!!!"

"..."

Osi looked quietly at the people with humble attitudes, but suddenly smiled.

"Isn't this a way to express your feelings well~"

"Don't worry, I will take your dreams to their destination! This is my promise to you, Osiris!"

After all, what's wrong with humans entrusting their dreams to gods?
After saying this, the miraculous girl faced the sun, turned her back to the crowd and gave a thumbs-up.
The sea breeze blowing from the front made her long red hair and the long windbreaker rustle.

On this day, the gods of the sky promised the humans on earth that they would attach their wishes to their wings and carry them back to the sky.

　PS: Unlike his simple role as the god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology, Osiris in Yu-Gi-Oh! also possesses the attribute of 'sky'. For example, his exclusive trap card, [The Revived Sky God], refers to him as the "Sky God".
