The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

"20 seconds..."

"10 seconds..."

"coming!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she appeared beside Luther.

At the same time, Kizaru also did something similar.

Even though both of them are Devil Fruit users, with their strength, they could pull Luther out of the sea even if the ship were swept into the ocean.

hum! ! !

The sea surface, which had shrunk, suddenly surged again, and then a sea column that stretched for thousands of meters erupted from beneath the surface.

Boom!!!

With a loud bang, the ship was suddenly lifted upwards and shot straight into the sky.

I felt the gravity and wind pressure that came with the ascent; it was a feeling that could crush an ordinary person.

Still standing firmly at the bow, Luther's eyes gleamed with amazement:

"The power of nature can only be truly understood by experiencing it firsthand."

This is why Luther was willing to wait 20 days.

Riding the surging ocean currents and soaring through the sky is fundamentally different from simply flying into the sky on your own.

Boom!!!

Even the ship's hull, which the World Government had specially reinforced, creaked and groaned under the scouring of the ocean currents.

The CP3 crew and the temporarily assigned navigators shouted themselves hoarse as they struggled to keep the ship balanced.

Olvia stood among them, calmly instructing everyone to perform their duties, which barely managed to keep the ship afloat by following the rising current and preventing it from breaking apart.

The ship was now flying upwards at an almost 90-degree angle, like an eagle, surrounded by a still-rapidly rising ocean current.

Swish!

Finally, the ship broke through the clouds and reached an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters.

At this point, the force of the upwelling current ceased, and the ship passed directly through the clouds and entered the higher sea of ​​clouds.

"Wow, the ship is actually stopped on the clouds! How terrifying!"

Seeing the ship hovering gracefully amidst the white sea of ​​clouds, Kizaru clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This is a sea of ​​clouds, similar to the ocean, except it has almost no effect on those with abilities. The main problem is the discomfort caused by the high altitude," Olvia's voice came.

She gently patted Robin's back; given Robin's constitution, she was already experiencing some difficulty breathing.

In comparison, Luther and others were almost unaffected.

The Red Line is no lower in elevation than the Sky Island, so Luther, who was born in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, naturally had no problem adapting to this environment.

The CP organization is similar; almost all of them have trained in Mary Geoise and are very comfortable in the surrounding environment.

“Let’s head straight to the waterfall cloud and get to the sky island in one go,” Luther said.

Kizaru had already explored the situation in this sea of ​​clouds and had a certain understanding of the journey ahead.

Under Luther's orders and with Kizaru's guidance, the ship steadily sailed in that direction.

Before long, the boat arrived in front of a cloud formation that resembled a waterfall.

The waterfall stretches endlessly upwards, seemingly without end.

"Oh, I'm here again. Every time I see this, I want to kneel down!"

Kizaru gazed up at the waterfall cloud and exclaimed in amazement once more.

But in reality, he was the only one who had visited multiple times.

"They all use their Observation Haki to find our boatmen."

Luther ignored Kizaru and continued giving orders to the others.

The group's Observation Haki quickly dissipated, but Gion ultimately prevailed, looking towards the 6 o'clock direction:

"200 meters in that direction, in the sea of ​​clouds 80 meters deep, there is a giant shrimp-like creature."

This was discovered by Kizaru during his previous exploration. This giant shrimp can freely move through the waterfall clouds, and its size is enough to carry a ship to the Sky Island.

Chapter 54 Arrival at the Sky Island

"Shoot it out, and I'll take control of it."

As soon as Luther finished speaking, Kizaru made his move.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Golden light bullets rained down on the sea of ​​clouds, bombarding the direction Gion had described.

"Wow, that's terrifying! It seems I used a bit too much force!"

Kizaru looked terrified as he stared at the giant shrimp that had angrily leaped out of the water not far away.

Judging from its length alone, it is at least 300 meters long, so pulling the boat forward should not be a big problem.

"Really..."

Luther shook his head with amusement, his indifferent eyes giving the giant shrimp a glare.

A surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted, not to kill the opponent, but simply to subdue them.

With his control over Conqueror's Haki, the giant shrimp obediently lay back on the sea of ​​clouds in just a moment.

"Your Highness, these should be the Express Shrimp, which has an extremely fast movement speed. Legend has it that shrimp that fall into the sea from the clouds are very rare. I never thought they actually lived in the sea of ​​clouds."

After observing carefully, Olvia let out a sigh.

"It doesn't matter what kind of shrimp it is, as long as it can pull the boat up. It would be best if it could be artificially bred."

Gaya Island will become an important base for Luther in the future, and as a floating island in the sky above, it will also be included in the deployment scope.

If the monsters below are open to the public and devour people, then the Sky Island is the guarantee that Jaya Island will not have any problems.

Moreover, the sky island is located in a secluded place, making it ideal for doing shady things.

Boom!!

Driven by Luther, the Express Shrimp dragged the boat upstream against the current and rushed up the waterfall cloud at an extremely fast speed.

After experiencing the wondrous sensation of riding the waterfall clouds upwards, Luther and his companions finally broke through the uppermost cloud layer and arrived in front of a dreamlike, solid island.

Clouds formed bridges across the island, and low-rise white buildings were visible everywhere. The entire island was draped by soft clouds, standing thousands of meters above the sky.

"Wow, this is amazing! The scenery is so beautiful, and the clouds here are so soft!"

Upon arriving at their destination, Robin became the most excited one.

She had almost gotten seasick on the way here and threw up her breakfast.

Thankfully, it was all worth it. We finally reached our destination and saw the most beautiful scenery.

Seeing Robin looking at him expectantly, Luther flicked her forehead:

"I'll show you around later."

"My lord, leave this to me!" Olvia said respectfully.

"Let Gion help you, and Admiral Kizaru will protect me."

Luther quickly assigned tasks. Although there weren't any powerful figures on Skypiea at the time, he was still worried about letting Olvia lead a group of CP3 members.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Hey, I'd be more than happy to do this kind of work with Brother Luther!"

Kizaru, hands in his pockets, stood grinning beside Luther.

Let him do the work or leave him alone. Opportunities to slack off with your boss like this are rare.

"That's settled then."

As soon as Luther finished speaking, he grabbed Robin on his shoulder and jumped off the ship.

Meanwhile, Olvia and Gion led their people toward the interior of the Sky Island, while Kizaru followed behind Luther.

"Wow, this is really a great place to retire!"

Kizaru placed his hands on his forehead, gazing at the distant sky island, occasionally letting out a series of exclamations of wonder.

"You weird old man, you're so young and you're already retiring? That's not cute at all!"

Robin chuckled and sat on Luther's shoulders, swinging her little feet.

"Hey, little Robin, you don't understand the importance of rest. That's what's not cute about you." Kizaru chuckled.

"If being like a weird old man is cute, then I'd rather not be cute."

Robin crossed her arms, and countless tiny hands reached out from her arms, each one expressing resistance.

This is the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, which she ate by accident before Ohari was destroyed.

With Olvia by her side and Luther's occasional guidance, her abilities developed quite quickly.

Luther still had high hopes for Robin's future.

"Haha, Borsalino, you're only in your early thirties, at least be a little more passionate."

Luther smiled, put Robin down from his shoulder, and let her stand on the soft clouds, curiously looking around.

"No way, I'm already over 30, it's time to stop and enjoy life."

Kizaru placed his hands behind his head, looking like he was already ready to pounce.

He was already used to addressing Luther by his own name; it was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

In private, they address each other by their first names, indicating that they don't need to be so formal and can communicate as friends.

If you address him by his title, it's an order.

Kizaru also gave Luther face and completed the tasks assigned to him very well.
