Pirates: Going out to sea? Cultivate to the Mahayana stage first

Not only that, Anno also secretly wrote several novels for Gion about stories between teachers and students. Both the words and the plot settings explicitly or implicitly hinted at Gion's current special status.

This subtle influence cannot be underestimated.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the front.

The "Gate of Heaven" mentioned by Laqi appeared before my eyes. It must be the entrance to the legendary Sky Island.

In other words, from here on you officially step into the territory ruled by Enel.

I heard that if you want to enter the Sky Island smoothly, you must pay the corresponding fee according to the number of people boarding the island.

Annuo made a rough estimate and found that there were no more than ten people on their ship, including the crew, so the amount to be paid should not be too much.

Just as the Orange Cabin slowly sailed into the huge arched passage under the Gate of Heaven, Annuo's eyes were instantly drawn to a figure.

I saw a short, wrinkled old woman standing quietly on the stairs on the side of the passage.

She put her hands in her sleeves, and her eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled. At this moment, she was looking at them with a smile.

"Hello, guests from Qinghai, welcome to this mysterious kingdom of God! However, if you want to truly step into this magical place, you need to pay a certain ticket fee."

The old woman's voice came slowly and clearly.

"How much is it?" Nami couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, not more, not less, just 100 million per person will be enough." The old woman replied with a smile.

"Wha…what? One hundred million?"

When Nami heard this number, her eyes suddenly widened as if two eggs could be stuffed into them.

She quickly calculated in her mind: "Oh my God, if we calculate it this way, there are eight of us on this ship, so we have to pay a full 800 million Baileys, right? That's 800 million Baileys!"

Even among the Four Emperors’ pirate groups, this bounty amount is definitely considered to be only available at the vice-emperor level.

Although the entire village of Kokoaxi is now engaged in high-profit businesses, if they were to take out a full 800 million Beli at once, I really don’t know how many days of profits it would take to make up the difference!

Thinking of this, Nami frowned tightly, her face full of heartache and reluctance.

"So much money! What should I do?"

Others also started talking, and for a moment there was a small chaos on the ship.

"Well, in that case, there are eight of us on the Orange Cabin. Eight hundred million Baileys is really too much! How about... how about we just go back home?"

As the person in charge of finances, Nami was obviously extremely heartbroken about having to spend such a huge amount of money.

After all, this money is earned by everyone through hard work, and every penny is hard-earned.

"The exchange rate between Sky Island's currency and Qinghai's currency is 10,000 to 1! In other words, one person needs to pay a full 10,000 Baileys."

After listening to Nami's words, the old woman explained to her very kindly.

"Ten thousand Baileys per person... so with so many of us, the total cost will still be eighty thousand Baileys? That's still too expensive!"

Nami blinked her big watery eyes, revealing an innocent yet slightly distressed cute look, and stared at the old woman eagerly.

However, the old woman couldn't help but frown, and one could even see a few blue veins faintly visible above her forehead.

She said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Humph, this is the price that was set many years ago! Since this rule was established, no one who came to Sky Island has ever complained about the high prices."

Even the pirate group led by Roger, the once-mighty Pirate King, paid the price obediently when they came here.

If the old woman knew the true identity of the pirate group that had visited this sky island decades ago, she would probably have to dig up this past and tell everyone about it.

At this moment, Gion suddenly noticed something unusual with his extremely sharp observation Haki.

Her face suddenly changed, and she cried out, "Be careful behind me!"

When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads to look, only to see that outside the stairs next to the old woman, a huge and terrifying bloody mouth suddenly appeared without any warning in the sea of ​​clouds that was originally as calm as a mirror!

The mouth was filled with densely packed, sharp fangs, flashing a chilling light, and it opened its mouth wide to pounce towards the old woman who was completely frightened and stunned!

It happened in a flash. At this critical moment, a dazzling silver-white electric light shot out from Annuo's fingertips like lightning!

This ray of lightning cut through the sky at an astonishing speed, crossing a distance of dozens of meters in an instant and accurately hitting the hideous monster fish!

At that moment, dazzling electric light danced wildly on the body of the strange fish like a silver snake, accompanied by crackling sounds of electric shock that resounded through the sky.

In just a blink of an eye, the strange fish was electrocuted and charred all over, as if it had turned into a piece of burnt wood. It fell straight down from mid-air and smashed heavily into the rolling sea of ​​clouds below.

After witnessing this scene, the old woman nearby was so frozen in place that she seemed to be under a spell, her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Her eyes were wide open, lifeless, and she looked completely stunned by what was happening before her eyes.

However, just a short while later, something unexpected happened again.

The old woman with orange skin and white hair, who was originally stunned, suddenly changed her expression, and her face was full of fanaticism, burning like a flame.

Then, without hesitation, she fell to her knees in the direction of the Orange Cabin.

Under the astonished gazes of the people around her, the old woman muttered something, her tone distorted due to extreme excitement, and she shouted loudly: "Respected God of Sky Island! Great Lord Thunder God! You are the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of God, and the undisputed master of the Holy Land! I never thought that I, an old woman on my deathbed, would have the honor of seeing your face in person in my lifetime..."

Hearing these words, An Nuo, who was standing on the boat, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He thought to himself, no wonder the old woman would mistake him for Enelu.

After all, on this sky island, there is really no one else who has the ability to discharge electricity except the so-called Sky Island God Eneel.

However, in stark contrast to Anno's reaction, Nami and the others were completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.

They looked at each other, each with a bewildered expression on their face, obviously confused by the inexplicable words coming out of the old woman's mouth.

Lucy was obviously aware of the current situation, but she just stood there quietly, with her lips tightly closed, not saying a word.

Perhaps for her, at this moment, Anno has become the undisputed god of Sky Island.

As for Anno, he did not give any extra explanation for this.

Not long after, the old woman who seemed to be in her twilight years and frail suddenly jumped up from the ground as nimbly as a nimble child.

Chapter 181: Sky Island Journey

Then she quickly reached out and grabbed the whistle hanging on her chest, and blew it with all her strength.

In an instant, a sharp and loud whistle resounded through the sky.

As the whistle sounded, the sea of ​​clouds in front of the passage, which was originally as calm as a mirror, began to roll and surge violently.

Not long after, a super giant lobster with an extremely large body and the number 001 clearly printed on its forehead came rushing along the winding ladder at an astonishing speed like a violent whirlwind.

In the blink of an eye, it stopped steadily in front of the Orange Cabin.

The two eyes of this extra-large lobster were like two huge street lamps, flashing with curiosity and alertness, staring closely at everyone on the Orange Cabin.

At this moment, Kerla couldn't help but stick out her tongue to lick her slightly dry lips, with an unsatisfied look on her face, as if the delicious meal just now had not satisfied her.

This cute little girl has always been a real foodie.

Seeing Kerla's greedy look, Anno couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled and raised his hand, gently tapped Kerla's little head, and scolded with a smile: "Enough, you little greedy cat! This is not ordinary food, it is the special express shrimp unique to Sky Island, which is specially responsible for carrying the boat forward. You can't just treat it as a meal, you are such a silly girl!"

"Teacher, please stop touching my head... And if you want to talk about foodies, it's obviously you!"

Kella pursed her lips and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

The old woman seemed particularly excited at the moment. Her face was full of enthusiasm. She pointed at a super-large lobster that was running towards her quickly and shouted loudly: "Lord God, are you planning to return to the Holy Land? Then please take our Super Express Shrimp No. 1! This express shrimp is the fastest and most stable, and it will definitely satisfy Lord God!"

Hearing this, everyone around turned their heads and focused their eyes on An Nuo.

But on second thought, if that's the case, there's no need to explain too much, so let this little misunderstanding continue.

So, An Nuo smiled faintly, nodded gently and said, "Well, sure, I'll trouble you then."

Then he added: "Yes, I do need to return to the Holy Land. I'll leave it to you, old woman."

"Oh, by the way, Nami, please give the money for the ticket to this old lady."

However, before Nami could make any move, the old woman waved her hand and refused, "Oh no, no! As a servant, how dare I accept money from you, the Lord God? I am so lucky to have the opportunity to see a great Lord God like you in person in this life. This is simply a great blessing I have accumulated in my previous life!"

After saying that, the old woman's face was still filled with an extremely excited expression, and that look even made Annuo start to worry - if she continued to be so emotional, it might really cause some problems for her heart.

However, it must be said that in this matter, Anno really admires Enelu.

After all, it is not an easy task to establish rule in a place like Sky Island.

Now, the priests under Eneel may be searching for them all over the Sky Island!

For now, Annuo's primary goal is the legendary Sky Island Golden City. He really doesn't have much interest in fighting with Eneel in this empty place.

Anyway, all I have to do is fulfill Laci's wish before leaving Sky Island - to defeat Eneel in one fell swoop.

Of course, if Enel couldn't wait to fight with him in advance, he wouldn't have any objection.

Thinking of this, An Nuo subconsciously waved at the cute and oversized express shrimp in front of him and shouted loudly: "Dude, it's time to work!"

It was not known whether this extra-large fiery red lobster understood what Annuo said or saw the gestures he made, but it immediately stretched out two extremely thick and huge claws.

Just as everyone was amazed, the two big claws easily lifted up the bottom of the Orange Cabin, and then placed this large ship steadily on their broad and thick backs.

“It feels so stable.”

The women couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Keerla couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the prawns are so powerful."

"I've decided, we can't eat such a powerful prawn!"

Annuo on the side shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply.

He wasn't surprised by Kerla's reaction.

At this moment, Nami, who was standing on the Orange Cabin, was extremely excited. She put her hands on her hips and screamed triumphantly, "Haha, free lobsters are here!"

Before he finished his words, the giant express shrimp rushed forward like an arrow.

Its huge body displayed unimaginable flexibility and speed, and it flew towards the distance like a javelin.

This express shrimp takes huge steps, and each step can easily cover a distance of dozens of meters.

The more than ten limbs on its body move forward alternately in a coordinated and orderly manner, and it moves forward at a high speed on the winding upward ladder as if it were walking on flat ground.

As its limbs moved rapidly, they formed a series of illusory shadows that were dazzling.

In an instant, a gust of wind blew up, and the powerful wind directly blew Nami, who was standing at the dragon head, away.
