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

I heard that Anno was able to defeat the extremely powerful Shura, and even the famous Lord of the Sky died at his hands, and he also ruthlessly took away all the treasures owned by Eneel!

When Ganfor learned about this, he immediately became enthusiastic and took the initiative to have a pleasant conversation with Anno.

It was obvious that Ganfor was deeply impressed by the amazing strength displayed by Anno and his companions.

At this moment, Nami and the others were sitting leisurely on the spacious deck, enjoying the comfortable feeling of the sea breeze caressing their cheeks.

For those people from Qinghai, Sky Island is full of countless mysterious and unknown things waiting for them to explore and discover.

Especially the one who is called "God of Sky Island", he must know much more inside information than Laqi. Therefore, Nami and the others are looking forward to listening to the stories hidden behind this magical Sky Island.

However, what no one expected was that when Ganfor mentioned Gion, a hint of awe unconsciously revealed in his tone.

This Lord Gion is actually the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Such a high status is truly amazing!

And Hinata also has the rank of colonel in the Marine Headquarters. Such a lineup is really too powerful.

Even when facing the gentle and lovely Nami and the extremely intelligent Kerla and other female members, Ganfor still felt unsure and felt that he was no match at all.

After all, it seems that everyone on this ship has special skills and extraordinary strength.

Recalling the opponents he had encountered in the past, Ganfor thought to himself: Perhaps only the woman from the Shandia tribe whom I met before could give me a slight chance of winning... But now facing the situation of so many masters gathered on the ship, he couldn't help but feel the pressure as heavy as a mountain.

And judging from the current situation, this group of people is obviously led by Annuo.

So the question is, what kind of noble identity does this unfathomable An Nuo have? Could it be that he is a high-ranking figure in the World Government?

Or to put it even more outrageously, could he be one of those legendary celestial dragons?

It is said that the celestial dragons always wear all kinds of strange and oddly shaped helmets to show their unique and noble bloodline.

But looking at Annuo's appearance, it doesn't seem like that... Ganfor was full of doubts and curiosity, and couldn't wait to uncover the mystery.

An Nuo couldn't help but look surprised, and asked with doubt in his heart: "The people on Sky Island also know the existence of the navy? Could it be that Mr. Gan Fuer, have you ever been to the vast Qinghai?"

Gan Fuer shook his head slowly and replied softly, "No, I have never set foot in the mysterious land of Qinghai."

There are often people who get on this sky island through various strange ways.

They either relied on the buoyancy of weather balloons, or followed the turbulent upwelling currents at the top of the western sky, or like Annuo and his companions, rode the surging ocean currents to get here.

Among them, the vast majority are extremely vicious pirates, and as for the navy, they are rarely encountered.

The division of forces in Qinghai was also learned from the pirates.

Speaking of this, Gan Fuer couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, "Ah! It's really unbelievable. There are so many huge forces under the Qinghai Sea. It is really an extremely dangerous place."

He sighed deeply and continued, "As far as I know, the forces under Qinghai are complicated. There is not only the World Government that rules the world, but also the Four Emperors of Pirates, the Seven Warlords of the Sea recruited by the World Government, and many member states of the World Government and the revolutionary army that resists the World Government. Compared with our peaceful and tranquil Sky Island, its power is beyond imagination. If Sky Island can be easily reached by people anytime and anywhere, I am afraid that the God of Sky Island will definitely not be me, Ganfor. Even a powerful figure like Enel may find it difficult to maintain the respected status of the God of Sky Island."

Hearing this, An Nuo nodded in agreement and said, "That's true! Compared to the peaceful scene on our Sky Island, the Qinghai area is as terrifying as hell on earth."

Anno fully agreed with Ganfor's view on the vast ocean below.

Indeed, at this moment he is still in a critical period of growth and development, and has no intention of getting involved in the fierce disputes on the Grand Line.

However, as his own strength steadily increased day by day, those disputes that were originally out of reach gradually moved closer to him as if attracted by a magnet.

Take Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who is still desperately searching for him in the East China Sea.

After hearing this, Gan Fuer couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face. He shook his head helplessly and said, "This place only presents a superficial peace."

Then, he sighed deeply and continued to explain: "At present, Enelu, with his terrifying power, firmly controls the entire white sea and the many sky islands on it. At first glance, everything seems calm and peaceful, but in fact, he often orders the four priests under his seat to start a corresponding trial mission at a specific time. Even if I am willing to bow down and serve as a manager under Enelu, I am powerless and unable to intervene!"

When Gion heard this, he suddenly became curious and couldn't help asking, "What kind of trial is this?"

At this moment, Nami, like a clever little rabbit, quietly poked her head out from behind Anno.

Just now, she had been using her fair and tender little hands to gently knead Annuo's rock-hard neck muscles. But when she heard about the trial, her beautiful big eyes instantly flashed with curiosity, and she also cast her gaze towards Ganfor, eagerly waiting for his answer.

"The so-called trial mission is to select a certain number of people from the angels and the Shandians, and then let them enter the designated place together with one of the four priests under Enel and the priest guards led by him to engage in fierce fighting. Only the winner can get the right to continue to survive. Frankly speaking, this is nothing more than a series of undisguised and extremely cruel killing games!"

Ganfor explained with a bitter smile.

In fact, from a certain perspective, he and Wapa should form an alliance and work together to fight against Eneel's inhumane rule.

Unfortunately, the grievances between the Angels and the Sandias have been deep since ancient times, and there is an irreconcilable feud. Therefore, it is harder than climbing to the sky to promote cooperation between the two tribes. Moreover, the powerful strength of Enel is by no means something that can be countered by the two sides joining forces.

"Just like the man who was defeated by you before and was skilled in using a musket. If my guess is correct, that man's name or nickname should be 'Shura'. And he is one of the four priests under Enel, and also the priest in charge of this trial mission."

When Nami and Nojigo heard this, they couldn't help but feel a strong resonance in their hearts.

At this moment, they deeply felt that the current situation on Sky Island was so strikingly similar to the situation in Kokoasi Village in the past.

A suffocating atmosphere of fear permeates the Sky Island as it is under the brutal and bloody rule of Eneel.

This cruel and ruthless dictator actually took pleasure in killing and turned the entire island into a horrific killing playground.

In Kekoyasi Village, people are also suffering from hardship and oppression.

The fishman Aaron controls everything there. He extorts huge amounts of Bailey from the villagers. If they fail to pay on time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"That guy named Shura was ruthlessly thrown into the dangerous forest by Enelu. I'm afraid he has already died by now."

Nami gritted her teeth and said angrily, her beautiful eyes burning with anger, "A villain like this who has committed such a heinous crime deserves to be put to death!"

Mrs. Makino on the side looked worried and asked softly, "Haven't you ever thought about resisting?" Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness and despair.

Ganfor sighed and said slowly, "It's not that we don't want to resist, but we are simply powerless to resist. Enel's power is too strong. Not only can he transform into lightning and control the power of lightning at will, but he also has a mysterious mind network ability. No matter how hard we rack our brains and carefully plan a sneak attack, he will easily see through it. Even if we have gone through a lot of trouble to exchange the seastone that can restrain his ability from the pirates in Qinghai, these efforts will be in vain if we can't get close to his body."

At this moment, his face was full of fatigue, as if he had been exhausted by the long-term stress.

However, despite being in such a desperate situation, people still have a glimmer of hope.

Ganfor knew that the arrival of Annuo and others might bring a turning point, so before leaving, he introduced them in detail the situations of some other sky islands in the White Sea, hoping to be of help to them.

Afterwards, Ganfor dragged his heavy steps and walked away, leaving Annuo and his group standing there, thinking about what to do next...

Anno is now regarded by Ganfor as a powerful foreign aid. This time he may be able to seize the opportunity to overthrow Enel's brutal rule in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Ganfor's heart. He hurried home, determined to make careful preparations.

If possible, he even wondered whether he should join forces with Wapa and the Shandia clan to which he belonged. After all, such a godsend opportunity should not be missed!

However, Annuo and the others did not pay much attention to this episode. After stopping to watch for a while, everyone focused their attention back on the voyage.

You know, it is not easy to sail on this vast white sea. There is no magnetic connection between the islands, and Annuo and his team don’t even have a decent nautical chart.

Looking around, the sea was vast and there was almost nothing to refer to. Fortunately, there was a local named Laqi in the team. With her familiarity with the local environment, she could more or less estimate their current location.

At the same time, Nami's excellent knowledge of navigation was fully utilized during her trip to the sky island. After a period of exploration, she gradually adapted to and mastered the skills of flying in the air, and became more and more adept at operating it.

As an excellent navigator, Nami undoubtedly benefited a lot from this trip to Sky Island. It can be said that she was the one who gained the most in the entire team.

However, various situations are still often encountered during the voyage.

For example, from time to time, there will be huge island clouds blocking the way. In this case, you can either choose to carefully avoid it or muster up the courage to split it directly before you can continue moving forward.

In order to avoid passing by the mysterious island, Nojiko would concentrate on using her newly acquired devil fruit ability every once in a while.

She just waved her hands and a powerful force suddenly burst out, instantly splitting the island clouds floating in the air like cotton candy into two halves.

This not only ensures that they will not get lost, but also provides Nojigo with an excellent practice opportunity to help her better control the power of the devil fruit she possesses. After all, only through continuous practice and training can one truly become a powerful person with extraordinary strength.

When it comes to the use of Devil Fruit abilities, Hina is very experienced. Since she is a senior Devil Fruit user, she is naturally able to guide Nojiko with ease.

Under Hina's careful teaching, Nojiko's understanding of the techniques and key points of how to use the power of the Devil Fruit has become deeper and deeper, and his progress is astonishing.

At the same time, An Nuo was not idle either.

With his superb forging skills, he moved out the huge iron furnace that he brought all the way from Kokoyasi Village, and began to create all kinds of gold jewelry that everyone dreamed of.

Since gold was so abundant, even if a set of gorgeous gold jewelry was tailor-made for each woman, the amount of gold consumed would only be a tiny fraction of the total.

As the fire burned fiercely, pieces of dazzling gold were put into the furnace and gradually melted into liquid.

Then, Annuo skillfully manipulated the tools in his hands and carefully shaped each piece of jewelry. After a while, each piece of exquisite jewelry shining with golden light appeared before everyone's eyes one by one.

Chapter 204 Journey

Gion, who had been standing quietly by the side and observing carefully, frowned more and more, and his doubts grew: "Why does this whole process of casting objects with gold always seem to be a little bit wrong?"

You know, according to common sense, such a fine craftsmanship requires the use of many specialized tools and a series of complex and tedious process flows!

For example, at the very least, you should carefully prepare some molds with specific shapes in advance.

Gion pondered in his mind while staring at the scene in front of him.

Although her heart was already filled with doubts at the moment, when she saw those beautiful and dazzling gold jewelry being successfully completed one after another, Gion hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to suppress her restless heart for the time being, and chose to continue to silently appreciate Anno's extraordinary craftsmanship that made people couldn't help but admire it.

However, what happened next was far beyond Gion's expectations.

"How can this be."

What surprised her was that An Nuo completely ignored those so-called tedious steps and directly displayed his unfathomable powerful strength.

He just let out a light shout, and then began to mobilize the vast and endless spiritual power in his body that was like a vast ocean, and continuously injected this surging spiritual power into the material that was being forged without reservation.

At that moment, an extremely powerful and shocking force suddenly gushed out from Annuo's hands, like a dazzling golden torrent, instantly wrapping the originally inconspicuous material tightly in it at lightning speed.

Under the influence of this powerful force, the material was undergoing drastic changes at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

In just a blink of an eye, an exquisite and ingenious object appeared in front of Gion.

This item can be said to be almost flawless, both in terms of its production speed and its appearance alone. It is like a precious work of art carved by God himself.

At this moment, Gion, who was standing aside and witnessed the whole thing, was already stunned with astonishment. His pair of beautiful big eyes were wide open, as if they would fall out of his sockets at any time.

Her beautiful face was filled with deep shock and undisguised envy.

Gion widened her eyes and stared at Anno who was operating in front of her. She had never seen such a strange and efficient forging technique!

The series of flowing movements, each one was precise and perfect, like a gorgeous dance performance.

As he looked, Gion's eyes gradually became confused.

Anno, who had been busy, suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Gion.

He quickly noticed Gion's unusual expression and demeanor, so the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile full of confidence and pride.

Then, he took the initiative to break the silence and said softly to Gion: "Teacher, don't worry, I have already reserved the one specially prepared for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand and began to flexibly change various complex and graceful gestures at a dazzling speed.

As these gestures continued to dance, suddenly, an extremely dazzling golden light flashed by.

The next moment, Gion was surprised to find that a dazzling gold bracelet with charming luster appeared out of thin air in Anno's palm!
