Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

boom! ! !

After an unexpected loud bang, the entire tavern was suddenly filled with smoke and dust.

"Cough! Cough!"

"what happened?!"

"Is it an earthquake?"

"No, the noise came from above. It's a meteorite!"

"Meteorite? How is that possible!"

The huge noise startled the customers in the pub and they were all at a loss as to what to do. Some of them who reacted quickly hid under the table.

Of course, there were also some smart ones who took advantage of the chaos and ran away, thus getting a free meal.

"Freihell!"

The tavern owner paid no attention to those people, but exclaimed as he watched the ruins engulfing Fryhair.

Unable to wait for the smoke and dust to clear, he limped forward, pushed aside the mess of bricks, tiles and wood, and dug the other person out.

"Young man, are you okay?!"

"No...it's okay, huh~"

After forcing himself to finish these last words, Fryhail's neck tilted and he fainted.

Beside him, two identical coins with strange dragon heads engraved on their surfaces were spinning.

In short, due to some force majeure, the departure date of the New Fleisher Pirates was postponed for three days.

……

"Ah~ It seems I used too much force."

"Well, never mind. No one would go up to the rafters for no reason anyway."

Comforting himself in his heart, Osi stretched his wings.

"Ouba, it's time to speed up! Don't be as slow as Jhin."

"Hmph, just fly."

"Haha! Then I'm going to show off my speed!"

"Everyone, fasten your seat belts and prepare to experience faster than light!"

“Clear mind!”

“accelerate!!!”

Osi and Obei used their armed color domineering to protect half of the hull respectively, and then suddenly accelerated!

Bang-!

The entire ship broke through the sound barrier in an instant, like a red and blue meteor, crossing the sky at an incredible speed, leaving a long trail.

Epilogue of Volume 2

The second volume of Sky Island officially ends here.

Overall, it didn't meet my expectations.

After all, the original intention was like

(Although I eventually forced myself to continue writing despite the plummeting subscription numbers.)

The Sky Island arc is actually very suitable for describing the growth of the two protagonists.

"The Land in the Sky" allows Osi, who represents the sky, to spread his wings in everyone's dreams, and also allows Obei, who represents the earth, to grow in the war over land between the Shandia people and the Sky Island people.

But in the end, a compromise was made on the length.

The Gaya Island part was fine, but the Sky Island part was cut in half.

Almost all the planned descriptions of the Sky Island people, the contradictions and conflicts between the two tribes, the obsession with land, the thoughts on war, the attitude towards aggression, etc. were deleted.

As a result, it seems to me that the growth of Oubei has not achieved the results I wanted.

Originally, she should have truly gained a clear understanding of her own power only after witnessing the cruelty of war and its negative impact on ordinary people of both nations. Finally, after seeing the value of peace, she realized that war and destruction are only means, and order and protection are the goals.

Instead of crying after two failed awakening attempts, and then suddenly realizing it. (Not profound enough, call me back and awaken again!)

……

These first two volumes are mainly about dreams, hopes, and the like... People always say that the author always likes to waste time and effort on some supporting characters, and no one cares about the dreams of those marginal extras...

In fact, this is not wrong, but the protagonists of these two volumes are still children, and the author really writes them as children.

Childhood is so important to a person, especially for characters like Osi and Obei who have long lifespans and the power to shake the world. No matter how much time and effort is spent on shaping their values, it is not excessive.

So even if I face countless objections, I will still write about these dreams and hopes that don’t have any explosive points.

Because a child’s childhood should be filled with beautiful elements such as dreams and hopes, rather than requiring them to experience life-and-death battles and fights.

Only by laying a solid foundation of positive values ​​in childhood can they avoid becoming abnormal like many antisocial psychopaths in pirate stories when they grow up.

Because of this, the condition for Osi's awakening must be a dream rather than death, and the condition for Obei's awakening must be peace rather than war.

Children should never be allowed to think that killing and destroying are ways to gain power.

The protagonist I want to create is a real strong man who can restrain himself, not abuse his power, and is extremely strong both physically and mentally!

Instead of those extremely self-centered giant babies and donkeys who just treat others as NPCs, the world as an online game, and who can't stand any grievances!

Their invincibility does not come from doing whatever they want, but from not doing what they don’t want.

(Ah~ Some readers mentioned that although La is the protagonist, he doesn’t appear in this way in the entire volume.

Let me explain here. There are three protagonists in this book. The reason why only La is marked as the protagonist is because the label of protagonist can only be given to one character.

In fact, La is only one of the protagonists, and as a non-growing protagonist, her role is even smaller than the other two.)

The protagonist's growth history is actually my outline, so in the first few volumes I tried not to describe anything dark and realistic.

Many people say that this book is suitable to be read after it is finished. I don’t deny that this slow pace is indeed quite difficult in a serialized series.

When following the updates, many chapters feel the same as not reading them at all, but if you read them together, you will find that without these chapters with too many words to connect them, the context will appear very abrupt.

I have no objection to everyone supporting the book, and I have never asked for anyone to read it.

Some even say that the author won't say anything if you find a free version after the book is finished. After all, the author is happy that you are willing to read it.

But please keep this quiet and don't say it in front of the author, otherwise the author will lose motivation.

……

(Alas~ If only I could keep writing like this when writing the main text, complaining is indeed the primary motivation for writing...)

Next Volume: "The Young Beast Bares Its Fangs"

To Be Continued……

Chapter 146 The Strongest Man

"By the way, why haven't Ossi and the others arrived yet? Didn't they agree to be back today?"

On Fenrir Island, in a small room next to the warehouse, Burfat was walking around the table, glancing at the Den Den Mushi on the table from time to time.

After learning that Ossi and his companions were preparing to return, he gave up his plan to go out again.

During this time, he would have to go for a stroll at the dock every now and then, and the rest of the time he would stay in this small room with La, waiting for the other's call.

"It's only morning now, they're not that fast."

Compared to Burfat's distracted mind, La was leaning back in his chair leisurely, looking down at a recipe in his hand.

This was brought to her by Dirk, who had returned to the island to report on his work a few days ago. It contained all the dishes he had seen in the past few decades.

Although there were many steps in it that he himself did not know the specifics, Old Cook believed that it would not be difficult to restore Ira's talent.

"Pah~Pah——"

"Hey! Where are you guys now?"

The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang, and Burfat picked up the call at lightning speed.

"Where are you? It's me!"

A familiar voice came from the Den Den Mushi, and the little snail's face became ferocious.

"Oh, it's Boss Kaido."

The fishman's anxious tone suddenly dropped, and then became indifferent.

"What's the matter, Burfat? Why do you seem quite disappointed?"

"No no."

"Boss Kaido, where have you been recently? When will you be back?"

"Don't worry about that for now. Hurry and bring me a few barrels of the best 'Snow Wolf Wine' on the island, and send them to Piccolo Island by speedboat."

"And remember not to let that brat find out!"

"..."

Burfat glanced at La who was sitting opposite him.

After hearing what Kaido said, La closed the book and looked at Burfat in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Uh...haha, don't worry! Boss Kaido, I won't tell La."

[But since she heard it herself, she can’t blame me… What the hell, Kaido Boss.]

"That's good, remember to hurry up!"

"Gulala! A few buckets won't be enough! My sons must all have a taste!"

The Den Den Mushi suddenly let out a rather heroic laugh, and at the same time the little snail grew a white crescent-shaped beard.

"Hey! Newgate, don't push me over the edge!"

[Snow Wolf Wine] As a specialty of Fenrir Island, its reputation in the New World is not well-known, but it can be said to be little known.

It’s not that the Snow Wolf Wine tastes bad. In fact, it’s because its taste is so clear and mellow that almost everyone who has tasted it praises it.

However, due to the scarcity of raw materials and the complexity of the brewing process, the annual output is only a dozen barrels.

This amount is not enough for the pirate group to consume internally, let alone for foreign trade.

Even John, the original owner of the island, who valued money very much, was reluctant to sell it to others and basically kept it for himself.

Fenrir's current stock is only ten barrels, and it was brewed just this year.

For example, when Kaido held a banquet before, he only took out two buckets after searching around.

"Gulala! Listen up! If you want to redeem your captain, bring twenty barrels of your best wine!"

"Newgate, you..."

"beep--"

The Den Den Mushi was forcibly hung up.

"Forehead……"

Burfat had some sweat on his forehead. Things sounded a little complicated, and he didn't know what to do now.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

It was La who spoke first and gave him the lead.

"Listen, listen to the other party's tone, it seems that Boss Kaido is in his hands now."

"Who?"

"Whitebeard—Edward Newgate."

……

Pico Island is an uninhabited island located within the territorial waters of the Whitebeard Pirates.
