Transmigrating into One Piece: The Peerless King

Now they can't escape even if they want to, because they have already reached the center of the vortex.

All of the warship's maneuvering measures were rendered ineffective in the face of this rapidly spinning vortex.

Splash!

With his eyes closed, feeling the boiling seawater around him, Gary felt a strange mix of emotions.

"Gary, didn't you sleep well last night? You're not comfortable here, why don't you go to the cabin?"

As Gary's mind raced, Zhao Hai gently patted him on the shoulder.

Youyou opened her eyes and saw Zhao Hai's calm demeanor. Gary was momentarily speechless.

We're going to our deaths in a grand gesture, aren't we?

You tell me to go to sleep, but you're worried about whether I'll sleep comfortably or not?

Aren't you worried about my life?

This should be the more important thing, shouldn't we stop focusing on these details and getting bogged down in the trivial?

"Since you like lying here, then stay here, but don't get thrown out."

Gary remained motionless for a long time, while Zhao Hai staggered into the bridge of the warship.

"What's the difference between here and the sea? In a little while, we'll all be swallowed up by the ocean and perish."

Although Gary didn't think he had any chance of surviving, he gripped the handles beside him tightly with both hands.

People will always try their best to seize any opportunity to live a little longer.

"Do you know how to use the warship's flight capabilities?"

Zhao Hai questioned the navigator who was operating the warship in the bridge.

"Don't worry, Alliance Leader, I've been researching it ever since Water Island!"

The navigator answered enthusiastically.

His eyes were fixed intently on the undulating sea all around him.

They're going to fly! That's the dream of so many navigators!

In order to cope with the special circumstances of the pirate world, Zhao Hai took these issues into consideration when modifying the warship.

This trip to the Sky Island will require top-notch navigators to ensure safe passage, so Zhao Hai had already instructed them to study this knowledge.

Moreover, Zhao Hai had already informed the navigator of everything that was going to happen.

At this point, only Gary, the outsider among the three, was unaware that he was about to die.

Suddenly, the sky cleared up.

The sea, which had been turbulent just moments before, instantly returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was a dreamlike illusion.

"Hahaha... We're saved! The vortex has receded!"

Gary sang and danced on the deck, crying tears of joy, rolling around like a little child.

"Are you ready?"

Zhao Hai looked serious and tense at this moment.

The navigator beside him was also experiencing a constant throbbing of his Adam's apple, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

This style is completely different from Gary's behavior on the deck.

At this moment, deep in the ocean below the warship, unnoticed by anyone.

Bubbles, as dense as raindrops, kept rising from the bottom.

"Wave!"

A bubble bursts on the surface of the sea, unnoticed.

The next moment.

Boom!

A towering sea column suddenly rose from the seabed and struck directly beneath the warship.

Suddenly, the entire warship accelerated at an unimaginable speed, soaring straight into the sky.

"Ah!"

The warship's sudden acceleration caught Gary off guard, and the immense force of the impact sent him flying high into the air.

"Is this it? Am I dying, on my way to heaven?"

Feeling that his body wasn't plummeting downwards but rather surging upwards, Gary surprisingly calmed down after the dramatic ups and downs.

"Heh heh, you're certainly on your way to heaven, but you won't die!"

Zhao Haiyun flew in like a swallow, moving sideways and grabbing Gary.

Then, with a sudden increase in the force under their feet, the two of them fell towards the warship below.

"Ok?"

Feeling his feet firmly planted, Gary opened his eyes.

"This...how is this possible?"

Upon seeing the surroundings of the ship, Gary was utterly shocked.

In front of the boat, a towering column of water was rising upwards.

What surprised him even more was that their warships were flying in the air at that moment.

That's right!

It was flying steadily and smoothly, and incredibly, it was flying upwards.

"Hehe, this is a warship that I, your brother Hai, modified at a high price, so it's not surprising that it has this function!"

Zhao Hai chuckled and handed Gary a bottle of Coke.

"Thanks……"

Gary opened the bottle cap and was about to say thank you when the boat suddenly accelerated as soon as his mouth touched the bottle opening.

"Cough cough..."

Gary gulped down the cola from the bottle, causing him to have difficulty breathing and cough incessantly.

"Hehe, I forgot to remind you, the wind force downwind of this ship is unstable."

Seeing Gary's hurried actions, Zhao Hai couldn't help but chuckle.

What the hell!

In an instant, Gary felt as if a thousand horses were galloping overhead.

A gigantic flying monster shot straight into the sky, rising higher and higher in the direction the water column was heading.

From a distance, it looks like a tiny creature trying to climb a ladder to heaven.

The various objects falling from the sky are like those who failed to challenge the might of heaven.

call!

With objects constantly falling from the sky, the navigator remained highly alert, ready to evade danger at any moment.

"Brother Hai, how much longer until we can stop!"

As he watched the objects whiz past the ship, Gary's heart leaped into his throat.

Zhao Hai looked up and saw a glimmer of light. He said, "We'll be there soon. As long as we rush into that light, we'll reach the White Sea!"

As he spoke, the warship suddenly accelerated to its maximum speed.

In the final moments before reaching the light, the entire ship's wings retracted, it leaped forward, and then plummeted rapidly.

Wow!

Dozens of meters from the surface of the white sea, its wings spread out again, and it came to a stop after gliding across the sea.

"That was close!"

"We've finally arrived!"

Gary patted his heaving chest, feeling a wave of lingering fear.

Thinking back on everything that happened, it was truly a fantastic journey.

The sea surges skyward as the spaceship sails.

Sky islands, which I never even thought were impossible before, actually exist?

"Continue sailing!"

After Zhao Hai and the others had adjusted to the thin air at high altitude, he gave the order to set sail again.

Because we haven't reached the Sky Island yet, this is just the White Sea, and we still need to pass through the Gates of Heaven.

This requires time to search.

"Wow, is that a cloud?"

"It actually formed a sea of ​​clouds, a vast expanse of white, and it can even support warships. What a spectacular sight!"

"..."

Gary looked around the warship, occasionally offering a word or two of praise.

Zhao Hai found everything fascinating and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, as Gary turned around, he immediately adopted a nonchalant, boss-like demeanor.

"Wandering around like this isn't going to work; who knows when we'll reach the Gates of Heaven!"

"Aren't there people specifically tasked with clearing out outsiders from wandering around here?"

"If they haven't shown up yet, I'll have to grab someone to ask for directions!"

Zhao Hai let Gary shout incoherently, hoping to attract the attention of the Cleaners or Sky Knights.
