Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Or……

Actually, Nami has always been dreaming, and has never woken up from her dream.

"Your brain seems to be malfunctioning again, Nami."

Ian frowned, looking at the little thief whose language function was completely disordered.

"Am I just imagining things? I have a feeling you need to see a doctor."

"I'm not the one who needs to see a doctor!"

Nami snapped out of her daze and was about to roar a few times to vent her fear and shock.

But the moment the little thief saw Ian's face, he immediately swallowed his anger and his voice became strained.

"Lord White Dragon, you are so amazing!"

Anyway, just keep bragging!

"Nami, I'd better take you to see a doctor first, it'll be good for you to get a check-up."

Ian looked at the little thief cat who had suddenly gone crazy again and said seriously.

"A full body checkup, especially of your brain."

Ian had originally planned to take Nami to the Germa Kingdom to meet up with Kuma, Robin, Kid, and the others.

But now he has another plan—he must have Nami have a thorough medical check-up!

Could it be that Nami isn't actually an "orange cat," but rather a "cow cat"?

The perfectly normal little thief cat seems to have turned into a little crazy woman.

"Lord White Dragon—"

Just as Nami was about to say something, she suddenly saw the Golden Lion II standing next to Ian—in fact, the latter had been standing there for quite a while, but had been ignored.

"Who is this gentleman?"

"Golden Lion II".

Ian glanced at the clay figure next to him and casually gave it a name.

"Ryan."

The name of the second Whitebeard is Edward Teach.

Since the surname of the Golden Lion II is unknown, we only have his given name—Ryan.

"Lord Ryan!"

Looking at the solemn-looking, blond-haired Golden Lion II, Nami felt that he was far more terrifying than Lord White Dragon, and immediately greeted him respectfully.

King Shiki II glanced coldly at Nami and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Nami didn't mind the other party's cold attitude, and simply moved closer to Ian quietly.

next moment.

Shiki the Golden Lion unleashed the power of his awakened Float-Float Fruit through the Ring of Magic!

Under the influence of the [Float Fruit].

The entire anthill hell suddenly trembled violently, as if it had been struck by an earthquake.

"Earthquake! Earthquake!"

Nami looked around in terror, wanting to find a place to hide.

"White Dragon! Lord White Dragon! We can hide in the sky—"

Nami was about to call Ian to ride the dragon together, but she suddenly noticed that Ian's expression was completely calm.

Even the Golden Lion II standing to the side was the same.

Nami recalled the battle she had just witnessed, and an unbelievable thought flashed through her mind, causing her lips to twitch violently.

"No way..."

Rumbling--

With a deafening roar.

Under the control of Shiki II's [Float-Float Fruit], the entire anthill hell floated directly into the sky and became a brand new sky island!

The island fleet that Shiki the Golden Lion had painstakingly built over more than ten years had been completely destroyed by Ian in the battle just now, and all the broken islands fell into the sea and were covered by seawater.

Based on the idea of ​​making use of waste.

Ian simply moved this "anthill hell" into the sky.

Anyway, this anthill hell was originally an uninhabited deserted island.

Apart from the group of chicken-snake beasts from before, there was no other life activity on the island.

Ian simply took it for himself!

A huge crater suddenly appeared on the sea surface, which was the original location of the Ant Nest Hell.

Seawater continuously converges here, filling the void and creating a constant rumbling sound.

above the sky.

Under the manipulation of Shiki II's [Float-Float Fruit] ability, the terrain of the Ant Nest Hell rapidly changed.

The ancient and decaying giant tree that originally stood in the center of the ant nest hell was directly shattered and decomposed by the [Floating Fruit], and then rubbed into the depths of the earth.

As for the charred corpses of those chicken-snake beasts, they were also sent deep into the island to provide fertilizer for the island's land.

The island's surface was almost entirely turned upside down.

But that's precisely why.

The entire anthill hell was instantly transformed.

Nami was once again deeply shocked by the dramatic changes that had taken place on the island.

After a long while, she finally snapped out of her daze at Ian's voice.

"Although the island's surface is still somewhat barren, it can be further transformed in the future."

Ian admired his surroundings with satisfaction; he had decided to make this island his base of operations!

"Nami, I don't think the name 'Anthill Hell' sounds very good. Do you have any suggestions?"

Nami snapped out of her daze, patted her cheek hard, and then said cautiously.

"Sky Island?"

"That's too ordinary, and there are already floating islands in the ocean."

Ian immediately rejected Nami's suggestion and then shared his own opinion.

"Let's call this place 'Sky Garden' for now!"

Chapter 139 Ace: I have no interest in the Flame-Flame Fruit!

Under the influence of the [Float-Float Fruit], the Sky Garden floats ten thousand meters above the ground.

This is a terrifying altitude, level with the Sky Island and the White Sea, where it feels as if you could reach out and touch the ever-changing white clouds around you.

If people living at sea level look up at the sky, they can only see a small black dot in the sky at most, and cannot see the whole view of the Sky Garden.

Due to its altitude, the air in the Sky Garden is extremely thin.

When they first went into space, Nami was still in high spirits and full of energy.

Before long, she seemed to have developed altitude sickness, feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and weak all over.

Now.

Nami could only lie on the ground of the Sky Garden, like a fish out of oxygen, her eyes wide open, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, but she had no strength to make a sound.

At this time.

Ian walked over from the side, and the Golden Lion II was no longer beside him.

Just now, Ian made a tiny, minor alteration to the entire Sky Garden.

The Float Fruit allows objects to lose their original gravity and float freely in the sky.

If the ability user continues to manipulate these weightless substances, then the substances will respond to its control.

However, if the ability user does not exert additional control over these substances, these weightless objects will be propelled by other energies in nature.

For example, the wind is everywhere!

The Battle of Eitwal, decades ago.

Shiki the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates were mostly wiped out by a sudden super storm.

Ian will certainly learn from Shiki the Golden Lion's terrible lesson.

So he made a tiny bit of a modification to the Sky Garden.

Specifically.

Ian used his Clay Fruit to create some simple clay propellers for the Sky Garden, ensuring that it wouldn't be blown off its intended path by the strong winds that are everywhere in the sky.

As for other aspects of the renovation, they will be completed gradually in the future.

"Nami, your physical condition is really too weak."

Ian walked over to Nami's side, looked at the little thief cat lying stiffly on the ground, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"I will make an exercise plan for you later."

"Huh...huh..."

Nami forced an awkward smile while panting heavily.

"Lord White Dragon, I want to study, can I skip the training...?"

"These two things don't conflict."

Ian was talking about things that seemed very ordinary to him.

"Study first, and when you get tired of studying, exercise; when you get tired of exercising, you can rest while continuing to study."

"If you don't push yourself, how will you know where your limits are?"

Nami's face grew paler as she listened to Ian's words.

……

Ian's renovation of the Sky Garden was quite successful.

In just over half a day, Sky Garden returned directly from the sea area where Ant Nest Hell was located to the Konom Islands.

Ian originally wanted to take Nami to meet up with Kuma, Robin, and the others immediately.

But a sudden Den Den Mushi call interrupted his plans.

The person who contacted them was none other than Portgas D. Ace, whom they had successfully recruited earlier!

Ian and Ace chatted briefly before Ian hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He looked at Nami, who was looking down at the Konom Islands below.

"Nami, how about I give you a break and you go home to rest for a while? I need to go pick someone up now."

Ian calmly gave Nami two pieces of advice.

"Or, should I take you to the Germa Kingdom first, so you can meet your other companions?"

Nami thought for a while and decided to go home first.

She understood from Ian that he had urgent matters to attend to and wouldn't be able to stay by her side all the time.

Since that's the case, Nami doesn't want to contact those "companions" she hasn't officially met yet, all by herself.

'Let's wait until the last guy arrives before we talk about it!'

Nami made her decision.

Ian didn't have any objections.
