He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Upon arriving at White Beach, they were once again stunned, amazed by the dreamlike scenery.

The world was filled with fluffy white clouds, and among them, islands of all shapes and sizes were like flowers.

They really did arrive at the Sky Island!

"What a beautiful and dreamlike place," Yixiao couldn't help but exclaim.

He thought this was definitely the most beautiful place he had ever been.

Although he could not bear to look, he could glimpse a corner of it using his Observation Haki and sense the shock in his companions' hearts.

They were anchored on solid white clouds, as solid as land. Ships couldn't sail normally, but there was an island right next to them, so they could disembark and experience the beauty of the floating island firsthand.

Yi Xiao was the first to disembark. His wooden clogs landed firmly on the soft clouds without sinking in.

"Everyone can rest assured and treat this place as land."

"Really?" Chopper was a little nervous, but he still tentatively nudged the cloud with his little hoof, and after confirming that he could stand on it, he stood on it.

This was a wonderful feeling it had never experienced before.

At this moment, it felt as if it were standing on land made of cotton candy.

Lost in the moment, Chopper couldn't help but roll around on the clouds, letting himself tumble about in his "marshmallow" world, and said contentedly:

"Ah~ so Sky Islands can make you sleepy."

Everyone disembarked, including Nico Robin.

As she looked at the people who had "landed," a feeling she had never experienced before welled up inside her.

"What's it like to be on an adventure?"

"I never even thought about it before..."

Her life was filled with hiding and cruelty; she had never had the chance to experience the taste of "adventure" without any worries.

Perhaps this opportunity will bring about a change in her life?

After a brief experience of the beauty of the white sea, the group began to explore the island.

The island doesn't seem very big, but it has relatively dense forests with strange and unusual fruits and flowers that look like balloons growing among them.

Not long after they started walking, a simple temple came into view.

"A temple in a place like this?" Van Augur raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? Do the Sky Island people have religions too?" Chopper asked, very curious.

The temple gates were wide open, allowing them to see the interior furnishings at a glance.

Perhaps hearing the sound, a man of unusually large build stepped out.

The man was nearly 4 meters tall, extremely tall, and had wings on his back, a trait unique to the Sky Islanders.

He wore gold earrings, had a scar on his left forehead, a full beard, tattoos on his upper arms, and a large red rosary around his neck.

What is most memorable about him is his expression; he always has a smile on his face and treats others with a proper demeanor.

Guxin never expected to run into an "acquaintance" here.

The man was none other than Urouge, the eccentric monk who was one of the Supernovas alongside Luffy, Kid, and others in the original work!

Urki clasped his hands together, a smile on his face, and said in a monk-like tone, "I've never seen you before. Are you all from Qinghai?"

The clothing styles of the people from Qinghai and the people from the Sky Island are very different, and since there are only so many people around, Urki could easily tell the origins of Guxin and the others.

Gu Xin said, "That's right, we just came from Qinghai."

"Just as I thought." Urki's tone carried a hint of excitement. "I am Urki, the abbot of this place."

"I see that you are no ordinary people. I have a request to make, and I am ashamed to say that I am fond of fighting. Would you be so kind as to have a friendly spar with me? I would be very grateful."

As a monk, Urki often speaks with honorifics and in a friendly tone, but his rugged yet smiling face creates a contrast that can be a little intimidating.

It must have been tough on him.

As a monk, he was a battle maniac who enjoyed sparring and fighting with others, which was undoubtedly a violation of the precepts.

Fortunately, he was a monk, so no one could control him.

People in the vicinity either didn't want to spar with him, or they were too scared to fight after sparring once, which made it difficult for him to vent his fighting spirit.

Now that he's fortunate enough to meet someone from Qinghai, perhaps he can fulfill this "little wish".

Gu Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, then I'll have a friendly spar with you."

Since Urki has pleaded so earnestly, let's grant his request.

It won't take much time anyway.

"Then you'd better be careful, benefactor, I'm quite strong!" Uroki's smile widened, his bulging muscles bulged, and he looked menacing, like a smiling Vajra.

He stomped his foot on the ground and shot out like an arrow, the wind whistling through the air as his fan-sized hand came straight down!

If it hits, even a sturdy tree will fall.

Gushin remained expressionless, simply watching Urki charge towards him.

As he rushed towards him, he suddenly realized that his right hand was being grabbed by Guxin, and a tremendous force was holding him firmly in place, preventing him from moving an inch.

Urki's pupils contracted, and his smile became more surprised.

This was the first time he had ever lost to someone in a contest of strength!

Moreover, the difference in strength is so overwhelming!

The next moment, Guxin casually tossed it aside as if it were a tissue, and Urki was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Urouge's talent is definitely not lacking.

As one of the future supernovas, he also defeated one of Big Mom's four Sweet Commanders, so that there were only three Sweet Commanders left.

But right now, without the ability to use both types of Haki, he's just a strong man with superhuman strength... no, perhaps he has another advantage.

Gu Xin's eyes flickered slightly.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Urki slowly stood up, his figure several sizes larger than before. He exhaled heavily through his nostrils, and his five- or six-meter-tall body exerted considerable pressure!

It seems he has now reaped the consequences of his actions.

Urouge's Karma Fruit allows him to transform his injuries into increased size and strength; the more severe the injury, the greater the increase in size and power.

If used properly, this ability can be incredibly effective in battle, making it possible to defeat opponents of higher levels.

"I forgot to mention, benefactor, I recently ate something called a Devil Fruit, and thus gained this ability," Urouge said with a smile, his fighting spirit rising even higher. "The more I'm injured, the stronger I become! Please take note!"

This Devil Fruit ability is quite suitable for him, a battle maniac.

The only regret is that he can't find anyone he can properly spar with.

He was overjoyed to have finally encountered a strong opponent, and was even happy to be beaten.

Suddenly, Urki charged forward at an even faster speed, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he punched straight at Gushin!

Since Urouge wants a brutal, hand-to-hand combat, then he'll grant his wish.

Facing the charging Urki, Guxin simply threw a light punch, which collided with Urki's fist. A jellyfish-shaped burst of energy erupted from the point of impact, violently kicking up dust from the ground.

In an instant, a terrifying force descended upon Urki's hand, and a sharp pain shot through him. He had never felt such terrifying power before!

Uroki was startled. Even with the amplified power, it was still useless!

Immediately afterwards, he was sent flying backward by the force of the impact.

A large crater was smashed into the open space of the temple.

In the crater, Urki lay on the ground, covered in wounds, somewhat puzzled... Had he chosen the wrong opponent for his sparring match?

Is he sparring with humans?
