Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Cricket smiled, his eyes filled with emotion, and said...

"Kid, thank you for getting the gold nuggets back!"

"Don't fall from the sky!"

As Kulikate finished speaking, a chorus of farewells rose from the ship.

Goodbye, uncle.

"Mr. Coolidge, thank you for taking care of me!"

"Uncle, take care of your health and don't do anything reckless again!"

"goodbye!"

...

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

Led by two ships, the Merry was heading in a certain direction.

Approximately three hours after leaving Jaya Island.

Vivi suddenly swooped down from the sky and landed near the Merry.

"Luffy, everyone! From the southwest, we've spotted the approach of Nightfall! It's the Cloud of the Emperor!"

Upon hearing this report, everyone, including the two groups of gorillas and apes, immediately perked up.

The gorilla and the ape spoke loudly in succession.

"The Emperor Cloud has appeared, so the ocean current must be nearby."

"Deep-sea submersibles, get out of there quickly! Dive into the sea and find the currents."

Soon, reports came one after another from the two ships.

"Reflected sound confirmed! Large ocean current detected at 12 o'clock!"

"A giant creature has been spotted at the 9 o'clock position; it's likely a sea king!"

"A wave opposite to the ocean current has been confirmed at the 10 o'clock position, which is very likely a huge whirlpool!"

Upon hearing the report of the massive vortex, the ape roared excitedly.

"That's it! Turn the boat around immediately and head towards the 10 o'clock direction."

"That's a sign of an impending explosion. Follow the vortex, don't back down!"

Meanwhile, on the USS Going Merry...

The ship was already in complete chaos.

"Waaah... What happened? Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"The waves suddenly got bigger!"

"Whoa... At this rate, the Going Merry is going to capsize!"

"Those guys were talking about a vortex, but where's the vortex?"

"Look...I see it! What a huge whirlpool!!!"

A gasp rang out from the Merry.

Suddenly, an enormous whirlpool appeared in the sea ahead, sucking the Going Merry along the direction of its current.

The group circled rapidly around the vortex as the Merry sped toward its center.

Just then, a warning came from afar.

"Enter the vortex! Do not reverse!"

"Go straight to the very center of the vortex!"

The crew of the Merry were terrified as they watched the ship being swallowed by the whirlpool.

"Are you sure this will be okay?"

"Oh no! Oh no! We're going to be swept into the sea by the whirlpool!"

"Stop! Stop! Turn around and let me go back!"

"Give up, Usopp! It's too late! We're already in the center of the vortex."

At that moment, Luffy suddenly sensed an incredibly powerful movement coming from the seabed, rushing upwards at high speed.

He immediately shouted a reminder.

"Hold on tight, everyone! The surging current is coming!"

boom!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud bang came from the center of the vortex.

The next second, Luffy and everyone on the ship felt an incredibly powerful pressure from above, suddenly pressing their bodies downwards.

At the same time, everyone suddenly felt as if the Going Merry had floated into the air, giving them the feeling that they were about to fall.

Immediately following was an incredibly pitiful wail.

"Ughhhhhh..."

"Waaaaah..."

　260 Just as everyone was about to fall, they were surprised to find...

A massive ocean current suddenly surged into the sky, connecting the sea with the heavens.

The Going Merry, however, caught the surging ocean current just before it was about to crash, and sped vertically upwards.

"What...what's going on?"

"It's actually going vertically upwards! Si Guoyi!"

"We're going to fall! We're going to fall! We're going to fall..."

"Hey Usopp, can you stop jinxing us? We're riding the ocean current upstream right now!"

"Eh?"

Usopp was taken aback by what he heard, opened his eyes, and the next second, he was utterly shocked.

"Really?! Siguoyi! We're actually flying in the sky!"

This magical scene brought smiles to everyone's faces.

On the sea, the apes and gorillas waved goodbye to the crew of the Going Merry in mid-air.

On the Going Merry, Luffy and the others clenched their fists, smiled, looked at the thick black clouds in the sky, and shouted loudly.

"Charge towards the Sky Island!"

...

"woo woo woo woo..."

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

On the Going Merry, the moment everyone rushed into the Jade Cloud, they felt as if they had entered the sea and could not breathe.

Luffy and the other Devil Fruit users felt completely drained, but they held their breath and charged towards the top of the sea of ​​clouds.

boom!

Click!

The Merry soared through the sea of ​​clouds, its wings shattering with a deafening roar.

The people on the ship seemed to have suddenly come to life, breathing heavily and coughing as they choked on the seawater.

"Cough cough..."

"Whoosh..."

"Ugh..."

After everyone had calmed down for a while, they began to look around at the scene.

All that could be seen around the Merry was an endless sea of ​​white clouds, which met on the distant horizon, making it impossible to distinguish between them.

"Where am I? Everything around me is just a vast expanse of white!"

"How amazing! We're actually floating above the clouds."

"But this is so strange! Is this the Sky Island? It looks like there's no one here!"

"No! The log pointer is still pointing upwards, so this shouldn't be a Sky Island yet."

Nami suddenly spoke up, looking at the pointer on her hand that was still pointing upwards.

Just as everyone was wondering, Vivi suddenly spoke up.

"Everyone! A sailboat has been spotted on the starboard side of the Merry!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately moved to the right side of the Merry.

Although they couldn't see it as clearly as Vivi, they could indeed vaguely make out a black dot.

Suddenly, everyone saw that the black dot seemed to burst open halfway and emit a red light.

Just as everyone was wondering, Weiwei suddenly exclaimed.

"That ship was sunk by cannon fire!"

"That person is coming this way!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Upon hearing Weiwei's words, everyone immediately prepared for battle.

Soon, they saw a masked person running at top speed towards the Going Merry above the sea of ​​clouds.

Chapter 93 God Invincible? Let's show him what god-slaying is all about!

On board the Merry.

When everyone saw a man wearing a bull's head mask, wielding a cannon, charging towards them, they immediately prepared for battle.

Just as the man was about to crash into the Merry, he suddenly leaped up, hoisted the cannon barrel onto his shoulder, and shouted in a low voice.

"Intruder, die!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted.

The black shells hurtled toward the Merry at breakneck speed.

Keng!

A figure flashed past Luffy, followed by a clanging sound.

next second.

boom! boom!

Two explosions.

The explosions on either side of the Merry in mid-air did not harm the Merry in the slightest.

Upon seeing this scene, the man in the bull-head mask was immediately shocked, staring incredulously at the swordsman standing by the ship.

"Damn it! How dare they attack us without saying a word!"

Another voice reached Luffy's ears.

Then, Sanji took a drag of his cigarette and stepped forward with an angry expression.

Moonwalk took to the air.

They rushed after the bull-headed masked man in mid-air.

After a brief exchange of glances, the two figures crossed paths.

boom!
