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

When Gion saw this beautiful bracelet with her own eyes, her cheeks instantly flushed involuntarily, as beautiful as a ripe apple.

She waved her hands in panic and declined eagerly, "Wait, I really don't need this."

However, in the face of Gion's rejection, Anno refused to give in or compromise.

He said sincerely and seriously, "Teacher, please stop making excuses. For such a long time, you have been teaching me wholeheartedly and tirelessly."

"I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity to repay you properly. So today, no matter what, please accept my kindness!"

"This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it."

An Nuo said with a smile, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to step forward.

He stretched out his hands without hesitation and grabbed Gion's delicate and soft little hand. His movements were gentle but firm, making people irresistible.

Gion was startled by this sudden action and instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but when she thought that this might hurt Annuo's self-esteem, she hesitated for a moment and became a little panicked.

Anno had already begun to carefully place the exquisite gold bracelet on Gion's slender wrist.

Gion tried to struggle and resist, but the struggle in her heart made her movements hesitant.

On the one hand, she felt that it was inappropriate to accept this gift; on the other hand, she really couldn't bear to reject Annuo's kindness.

After a brief and intense ideological struggle, Gion finally chose to give up resistance and silently let Anno put on the bracelet for him.

When the bracelet was firmly on Gion's wrist, she subconsciously lowered her head and her eyes fell on the ornament that was sparkling with dazzling light.

In an instant, an indescribable feeling of joy arose from the bottom of my heart.

Although she kept mumbling, "How can a student give a teacher a gift? Usually, teachers give gifts to students."

But her eyes never left the bracelet, and the admiration in her eyes was clearly visible.

Gion usually acts in a swift and careless manner, and seems to have no interest in those delicate and detailed items such as jewelry.

In the eyes of others, she was like a woman who had nothing to do with delicate little objects. However, at this moment, facing this bracelet, she showed unprecedented tenderness and love.

Gion always appeared to be simple and never wore a single piece of jewelry.

Perhaps deep down in her heart, those dazzling jewels, gorgeous and complicated necklaces, earrings and other decorations are nothing but burdensome and flashy things.

However, even someone like Gion, who is bold, unrestrained and not particular about details, will still be involuntarily attracted by the charming charm exuded by those exquisite and beautiful accessories.

The Orange Cabin had been sailing against the wind and waves on this vast white sea for several hours.

As time went by, the originally gem-blue sky was gradually dyed into a colorful sunset.

Everyone on the boat was mesmerized by the spectacular sight of the sea of ​​clouds and sunset before them, and everyone felt particularly relaxed and happy.

Just as everyone was enjoying the beautiful natural scenery, a group of small, cute and exquisite paper figures that Annuo had sent out earlier flew back to the ship at lightning speed, like a well-trained elite reconnaissance team.

Then, there was Annuo's excited shout: "We found the Sky Island!"

He relayed the great news to every lady present.

Afterwards, An Nuo asked everyone with anticipation and curiosity, "Ladies, do you want to go explore this mysterious island together?"

"You may not know that each sky island has its own unique characteristics. It is said that there are countless rare and precious treasures hidden in it!"

Hearing this, Nami's emotions were instantly ignited. She seemed to be injected with a powerful energy and was so excited that she could hardly control herself.

The pair of big eyes that were originally as bright and moving as gems were now shining with an extremely excited light, like the bright stars in the night sky.

She nodded her head impatiently, her frequency dazzling people, and at the same time, she kept muttering like a string of cannonballs: "Go! You must go! Maybe you can really find the coveted treasure on those mysterious islands!"

Nojiko, who was standing aside, was also infected by Nami's enthusiasm, and her beautiful face flushed slightly because of excitement.

Nojigo quickly agreed, "That's right! And I heard from the former Sky Island God that in addition to our team, there are many other pirates who have boldly set foot in this airspace full of unknowns and challenges. Since so many predecessors have been here, maybe there are still precious treasures left on those sky islands that they accidentally left behind!"

Gion, who has always been known for her calmness and composure, could not hide her inner anticipation and excitement. She nodded slightly, expressing her approval of this expedition to Sky Island.

After all, even the famous Pirate King has successfully landed on Sky Island. This fact undoubtedly fully proves that this place contains unimaginable value and is quietly waiting for people to unveil its mysterious veil.

Looking at the vast and boundless white sea in front of him, Annuo knew very well that it was impossible for them to easily reach the edge of such a vast and magnificent sea in just a few hours of sailing.

Before this, Nami was feeling heavy and anxious, and her beautiful big eyes were filled with worry and fear.

They were always worried that they would suddenly reach the end of the Baibai Sea without any warning. Once they lost the supporting sea of ​​clouds, they would fall straight down like a kite with a broken string.

Anno demonstrated his excellent driving skills and calm mentality, and concentrated on controlling the Orange Cabin. This small ship was like a warrior riding the waves in the rough sea, sailing unswervingly towards the mysterious sky island.

At this seemingly calm moment, a sharp, piercing, creepy whistle suddenly broke through the sky!

Before anyone could react, they saw a sharp spear attached to a long rope sprinting past the side of the Orange Hut like lightning.

Its speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up with. In the blink of an eye, the spear pierced deeply into the white sea with lightning speed.

In an instant, the originally calm sea surface began to gurgle with a series of bubbles of varying sizes, as if a giant beast had been disturbed.

These bubbles kept rolling up to the surface of the water, like a pot of boiling water, steaming and noisy.

Then, everyone's attention was drawn to the shore.

I saw a figure there who was holding the rope at the tail of the harpoon tightly, and then he was pulling it backwards with all his strength.

As time passed, the object that was hit by the spear gun gradually floated to the surface.

Finally, when everyone saw the scene clearly, they couldn't help but gasp - it was actually a huge fish!

But unfortunately, the big fish had completely deflated at this time, floating limply on the sea, without any life at all.

On this mysterious sky island, the most commonly used fishing tool is this powerful spear gun, which can not only hit the target quickly, but also easily drag the prey ashore with a rope.

Here, those huge fish generally have a fatal weakness.

Once this weak point is touched, even if it is only punctured a little bit, they will shrink rapidly at an alarming speed like a deflated balloon.

Therefore, if a person is lucky enough, using a spear gun to catch these big fish can often yield a large catch more easily than the traditional method of fishing with a fishing net.

Nojiko, who had been standing quietly by and watching, breathed a sigh of relief, because at that moment, she subconsciously wanted to use the power of the Star Fruit in order to respond in time to the dangerous situation that might break out at any time.

Fortunately, however, at the critical moment, she suddenly came to her senses and realized that things were not as bad as she had imagined.

She muttered to herself, "I was so scared. I thought some enemy was planning to attack us. After all this fuss, it turns out they were just fishing..."

On the other side, Madam Makino stared at the increasingly thick fog around her. After a while, she frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "In my opinion, the fog must be too thick and dense, so those people who are fishing cannot detect our presence at all."

As time passed, the Orange Cabin finally slowly approached the shore.

Chapter 205: Bikka

At this moment, the man who was busy holding the spear in his hand suddenly remembered something important and ran towards this side in a hurry.

When he ran closer, you could clearly see that his face was filled with a complex expression of apology and fear.

Asra was panting and said hurriedly, "I'm so sorry, everyone! I'm Asra, a fisherman who was born and raised here. I was just staring at the fish in the sea and didn't notice your boat approaching. I'm so sorry! I don't know if I hurt you."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the people who were getting off the boat one after another.

When Asra's eyes fell on the faces of these people, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and open his mouth so wide that it seemed as if an egg could be stuffed in.

The people on this boat were incredibly good-looking! Especially the women, each of them was as pretty as a flower, delicate and charming.

Some of them have skin whiter than snow, as smooth and delicate as white jade; some have picturesque eyebrows and eyes, revealing all kinds of charm in their glances; others have graceful figures, showing elegance in their every move.

Asra was secretly amazed, thinking that he had lived on this island for so many years and had never seen such beautiful women, let alone a group of them.

At this moment, in the bustling crowd, An Nuo's handsome face bloomed with a smile as warm as the spring breeze. He responded softly: "It's okay, Mr. Asra, you don't have to worry about it. We are all safe and sound."

After hearing what An Nuo said, Asra's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. Then, his curious eyes fell on everyone and he asked, "By the way, I would like to ask you a question. Where are you from?"

An Nuo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "We are all from Qinghai, and this time we come here just to travel around." After a pause, he continued: "Then, please tell me where this place is?"

Asra was stunned when he heard this, because it was not until this moment that he suddenly noticed that the people in front of him did not have wings.

Among them, only one person was wearing an exquisite maid outfit with a pair of snow-white wings extending behind her.

After realizing this, Asra hurriedly explained with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that you are the distinguished guest from Qinghai! This place is called Bika, but according to the habits of you Qinghai people, you may be more willing to call it Sky Island Bika."

After hearing this, An Nuo nodded slightly, indicating that he already understood.

At the same time, he began to ponder secretly in his heart.

In fact, he knew a little about the so-called Sky Islands. In the depths of his memory, there were only three Sky Islands that left a deep impression on him.

One of them was naturally Angel Island, which they had visited before. As for the other one, it was Visalia, where Nami had devoted herself to training for two full years.

Now that the situation is clear, it can be concluded that this island called Bica must be Eneel's hometown without a doubt.

However, what puzzled him was that, according to common sense, when Enel left this place, he should have completely wiped Bica off the map without a trace.

Thinking of this, Anno couldn't help but feel surprised. Who could have expected that he had just picked an island as the destination of this trip, but he never expected that he would end up stepping into Enelu's hometown by accident.

If Enel knew that Anno and his crew had arrived in Bika, would he think that Anno and his crew had come to invade his lair on purpose?

"No, we are indeed a travel team from Qinghai. We just set sail from Angel Island not long ago."

An Nuo smiled and asked politely, "From what Mr. Asra said, it sounds like you have dealt with many people from Qinghai. Do you have any special experiences or stories that you can share with us?"

Asra nodded slightly in agreement, and then responded, "A few years ago, there was a group of guys who called themselves pirates who came to this land, but this is the first time I've encountered a group like you."

In any case, Anno and his crew are neither vicious pirates nor naval forces representing justice. They came to Sky Island purely to walk around and enjoy the different scenery. In essence, they are not much different from a tour group.

"Oh? There are actually pirates who have visited this place?" Hearing this, An Nuo couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Then may I ask Mr. Asra, at that time... did you suffer any attacks or harassment from these pirates?"

"I've been attacked twice, but... "

As Asra pointed at the other fishermen with a smug smile on his face, "Don't take what I said seriously. Those so-called Qinghai people are actually quite weak. It's effortless for us to deal with them. We can easily get rid of them!"

An Nuo, who was standing aside, thought to himself that those guys probably had not yet fully adapted to the special environment of Sky Island, so they were eager to cause trouble, but ended up becoming miserable unlucky guys.

He couldn't help but wonder, if they were encountering the same group of Pirate King from decades ago, would these ordinary fishermen really be able to deal with them so easily?

If the answer is yes, then Annuo would even begin to doubt whether the place he was in was the brave village that often appeared in those novels about another world?

At this moment, Asra seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added, "Oh, by the way, not all pirates will just take action without saying anything. Occasionally there are some who are more friendly and willing to make deals with us."

Hearing this, An Nuo nodded and said, "So that's how it is. In fact, the main purpose of our coming here is to conduct a transaction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Asra's eyes lit up instantly, and he became extremely enthusiastic. He pointed at a big fish jumping around nearby and said happily: "Come, come, take a look at this fish! It was just fished out of the sea, it's absolutely fresh! And it tastes so delicious, it's definitely authentic Sky Island fish!"

When An Nuo heard the name "Sky Island Fish", he keenly felt that there seemed to be many eyes staring at him from behind, and that feeling made his heart tighten.

When traveling to a strange land, the most important and exciting thing is to taste the local delicacies that you have never tasted before.

And at this moment, Annuo is in such a place full of novelty and unknown.
