Chapter 290 New target, empty island! (2-in-1)

A large ship nearly twenty meters long slowly approached the small merchant ship. On the deck of the small ship, the red-haired young man seemed to have noticed something. He stretched out his little finger and hooked the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

The sun shone on the face of the red-haired young man, dyeing the flame-shaped markings on his forehead a fiery red.

"Even in a place like the East China Sea, pirates are still quite rampant!"

"For a long time, taking the Dawn warship to patrol the sea has often yielded little results. It seems that it is because the target is too big."

"On a small boat like this, we ran into pirates just two days after leaving Windmill Village."

The young man lying on the deck basking in the sun at this time was none other than Jiguo Enichi.

Just a few days ago, he and his men went to the Windmill Village in the Kingdom of Goa, and then left his warship and men there, and went to sea alone with only a few close friends.

The experience in the Moorish Kingdom gave Jiguo Yuanyi some different ideas in his mind.

In the past, his views and perspectives on the pirate world were still too one-sided. He simply thought that after the Celestial Dragons were wiped out, the world would become a "Great Harmony" world. However, the reality is cruel, even if he wiped out the Celestial Dragons, , this world has spread for 800 years, and deep-rooted ideas will still imprison people, thus creating new Celestial Dragons.

This is a death spiral from which it is difficult to find a way out.

Ji Guoyuan felt that his understanding of the world was too narrow and one-sided. He hoped to see with his own eyes what most countries in the world really looked like, and then think about how to change the world.

The Tianlong people need to be cleaned up, that's for sure, but while accumulating strength, Jiguo Enichi also needs to find a way to truly save the world.

It may be difficult to achieve one's wishes simply by killing.

One thing that is certain is that education must be an important means to dismantle the "Celestial Dragon Thought". He left the naval system and went to sea because of this consideration. He has not seen the living conditions of the vast majority of ordinary people with his own eyes, so what? Maybe we can find a school suitable for people.

The people at the bottom who are below the food and clothing line have no time to come to your school to receive your "education".

"Bang!!!" With a loud noise, the huge pirate ship's hull directly rubbed against the small merchant ship. The violent collision caused the small merchant ship to shake violently.

The huge movement alerted people in the merchant ship's cabin. The door to the deck opened quickly. Soon, Tianzheng, wearing a crisp suit, appeared on the deck. Behind Tianzheng, Mihawk and others followed. .

After Guoyuanyi went to sea this time, the people accompanying him were the most special group of people for the Sword of Dawn Navy.

Specializing in monitoring Tsukuni Enichi's every move, Kuroba Tenmasa, the former chief of the Navy's Criminal Investigation Section; Mihawk, who aims to surpass Tsukuni Enichi and become the world's greatest swordsman; a former revolutionary soldier who is now a "prisoner" The bear; Abel, a former pirate who is now also a "prisoner".

And those two brats Robin and Erin.

After the pirate group stopped close to the merchant ship, several heads poked out from the deck of the pirate ship, looking towards the deck of the merchant ship below.

The leader was a strong man with a big belly, wearing a pair of shorts and a musket on his waist. The clothes on his upper body were open, revealing the lush chest hair on his chest.

On the man's chin was a thick beard, and among the flesh on his face, a pair of small eyes quickly glanced across the deck of the merchant ship, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"one two three.."

"Hehehe, there are seven people."

"And there are two children. The girl should be able to sell it for a few more dollars."

"Is that burly guy a giant? He is a rare slave and should be worth a few more dollars."

"Hehehe, good deal!"

As the bearded man spoke, he pulled out a short gun from his waist, pointed it at Enichi Jiguo, who was lying on the recliner, and shouted:

"You guys are the private property of our Labaka Pirates from now on!"

"Just be obedient and give us all the money on the boat and everything will be fine, otherwise"

Before Labaka could finish speaking, he saw the red-haired young man wearing sunglasses on the deck hooking his hands behind him. At Jiguo Enichi's signal, Tianzheng quickly took two steps forward, then jumped up and flew towards the pirate ship.

"clatter"

With a soft sound, a pair of shiny black leather shoes stepped on the side of the pirate ship.

Labaka glanced at the leather shoes that suddenly appeared in his sight, and his breath stagnated. After a while, he slowly raised his head with a face full of surprise, and saw a young man wearing a slim black suit and a sloping head already standing on the on the guardrail in front of him.

"you you."

Rabaka opened his mouth and was speechless. But soon, Labaka reacted. The gun in his hand was directed towards Tianzheng, and without any hesitation, he shot directly.

However, the moment Labaka pulled the trigger, Tianzheng had already disappeared in front of him. At the same time, Labaka only felt a huge force coming from his calf, which made Labaka make a "pop" sound. knelt on the deck.

Rabaka came back to his senses and turned his head, a black shadow directly covered his sight.

When Tianzheng dodged, he had already reached Labaka's side and kicked the opponent's calf. When Labaka fell to his knees, he kicked the opponent directly in the face.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled sound, Labaka's head came into close contact with the deck. This huge and strong man instantly lost consciousness and passed out.

When the pirates on the deck saw that their captain was being attacked, they all took out their weapons and were about to attack when Tianzheng's figure suddenly disappeared from their sight.

Afterimages flashed quickly through the crowd. Every time the afterimages changed positions, the pirates two to three meters away were hit hard and fell unconscious.

In just a few seconds, more than forty pirates in a boat all fell to the deck, unconscious.

As the pirates were knocked down, Tianzheng's figure also appeared next to the unconscious Labaka. His suit was still straight and there was no wrinkle at all.

"Hey, Tianzheng."

"What are we going to do with this group of pirates?"

On the deck of the small merchant ship, Ji Guoyuan asked loudly, his hands resting on the back of his neck, looking comfortable.

"call out!!"

Just as Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, a sound broke through the air, and Tianzheng had already arrived at Ji Guoyuan's side and replied:

"According to regulations, you need to go through a trial on the Judiciary Island. After the crime is confirmed, you will be escorted to Xiongcheng City for detention."

"Impel City will monitor the pirates in different levels according to their level of danger and the crimes they have committed."

Tianzheng answered sternly, and when Ji Guoyuan heard this, he turned his head slightly, looked at Tianzheng, and asked with a smile:

"Lock him up?"

"What if such a dangerous guy breaks out of prison?"

Tianzheng shook his head and told a fact that he knew: "No one has ever been able to escape from the underwater prison."

Ji Guoyuan didn't say anything else. He put on his sunglasses again, grabbed the fishing rod at hand, and when he lifted it gently, he found that the fishing line on the rod had already broken, and his bait and hook had disappeared.

Yuanyi put away the fishing rod in his hand and shouted to the bear behind him:

"Xiong, please check the pirate ship and send any useful items to the Sorbey Kingdom Naval Base."

"Just let me know when it's ready."

The bear heard Jikunoyi's instructions and disappeared directly on the deck with a "pop" sound. In just a few minutes, just after Jikunoyi reattached the hook and bait to the fishing rod, the bear's figure appeared. On the deck.

Seeing the bear coming back, Ji Guoyuan waved the fishing rod in his hand, and a terrifying red slash was shot directly towards the pirate ship. The slash set off a hurricane, and in the blink of an eye, it directly stopped the pirate ship in front of him. Truncated.

"General." Seeing this scene, Tianzheng couldn't help but whisper. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Ji Guoyuan:

"Hurry up and sail the boat, don't get caught in the whirlpool."

"Tianzheng, I don't have time to send them to Push City."

"I left the team and went to sea not just for fun. We have a lot to do and time is precious."

Abel took a deep look at Ji Guoyuan, then entered the cockpit and started the ship without saying a word.

On the deck, Tianzheng looked at Jiguoyuanyi for a long time, and finally nodded slowly without saying anything else.

The small merchant ship slowly sailed away from the sea area, and the huge pirate ship also slowly submerged into the sea water and disappeared completely.

Jiguo Enichi came to Donghai because he learned about the rubber fruit. Now that the news about the rubber fruit has been cut off, Jigguni Enichi has no reason to stay in Donghai.

However, Enichi did not give up the search for the rubber fruit. In order to obtain relevant information as soon as possible, Enichi Jiguo asked the navy staying in Windmill Village to establish a station and be responsible for collecting information about the devil fruit in the East China Sea.

Judging from the information received by the Moore Kingdom, pirates robbed the Devil Fruit, so the Devil Fruit must still be in the hands of the pirates. Although the number of Devil Fruit illustrated books circulating in this sea is small, there are still some. some.

A pirate who has obtained a Devil Fruit will definitely try his best to figure out the purpose of the Devil Fruit he obtained before making any plans. Even if he wants to sell it, he must confirm the value of the fruit, right?

Yuan Yi believed that no one would foolishly eat a waste fruit except for someone like Luffy who accidentally ate it.

Clean up the pirates in the East China Sea, maybe the rubber fruit will reappear in his sight.

Unable to obtain the rubber fruit, Enichi Tsukuni also set his sights on another powerful fruit. He couldn't easily get out of the new world before, but now he wants to take this opportunity to control that thing in his hands.

It doesn't matter whether he eats it or not, the most important thing is that the devil fruit can increase his own power!

October 1506 in the Haiyuan calendar.

"Is there really an empty island in this world?"

"An island suspended in the sky?"

On the deck of the small merchant ship, Irene asked Ji Guoyuan, her little face full of excitement.

"How can it be?"

"How can there be anything floating in the air in this world?"

"If it really does exist, I'm afraid it requires the ability to rely on Devil Fruit, right?"

"But the golden lion with the ability to float after eating the Piao Piao Fruit is already dead, otherwise you would really be able to see it."

"Sky Island is just a legend."

On the deck, Tianzheng, who was holding a newspaper and drinking coffee, waved his hand and said with a smile when he heard Irene's words. In all his years in the navy, he had never heard of anyone actually finding an empty island.

If it really existed, someone would have been there long ago, and it would have caused a lot of noise, instead of being passed around as a legend.

"Um?"

"Tianzheng, do you think Sky Island is fake?"

When Ji Guoyuan heard Tianzheng's words, he asked with some surprise, he didn't expect that someone from Tianzheng's headquarters actually thought that Kongdao did not exist? Isn’t the fact that empty islands exist a consensus held by a small number of people?

"Huh? General, you can't be"

Tianzheng was also stunned when he heard Jiguo Yuanyi's rhetorical question.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Eileen, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, Sky Island is real!"

Ji Guoyuan had no intention of deceiving Irene. Speaking of Sky Island, it was really their next destination.

After leaving Windmill Village, Ji Guoyuanyi's small merchant ship wandered on the sea for several months, visiting many countries and islands in the East China Sea, and seeing completely different scenery in the world.

In the past few months, the whereabouts of the rubber fruit are still unknown, but Yuan Yi and the others have obtained a superhuman-type "shovel fruit" and an animal-type "cat fruit and civet cat form".

When Yuan saw that there was no whereabouts of the rubber fruit, and the ship had already approached the Twin Gorges, he no longer had the idea of ​​staying in the East China Sea, and planned to head directly to the empty island.

Ji Guoyuan didn't make any stop at the entrance of Shuangzi Gorge. His eyes didn't even stay on the lighthouse for even one second, and he directly let Xiong drive the boat into the lane.

After more than ten minutes of "ocean current roller coaster", Yuanyi's small merchant ship also successfully entered the first half of the great route.

Entering the first half of the Grand Line, Jikunoyunichi casually intercepted a group of pirates. After cleaning up the pirates, the record pointer in the hands of the pirates also fell into the hands of Jikunoyunichi and the others.

After following the record to a place called Heisen Island, Yuanyi realized that the air route of Kongdao was completely different from his current route.

After staying on Hessen Island for a while, Jiguoyuan spent a lot of money to buy a permanent record pointer to Gaya Island.

January 1, 1507 in the Haiyuan calendar.

After arriving at Gaya Island, Tsukikuni Enichi and his party collected information about the occurrence time of all sky currents, and finally went out to sea to chase the sky currents on this morning.

The sky current is a "natural disaster" phenomenon around Gaya Island. As the name suggests, the seawater will form a tornado, break away from the influence of gravity, and flow in the opposite direction toward the sky.

And this is also the "route" to Sky Island!

In this world, sky islands are not only found in the East China Sea. There are actually sky islands all over the world. The hometown of the strange monk, the sky island where Nami went during the two years of "3D2Y", and the sky island above Gaya Island. The islands are actually not the same place.

On the sea, Ji Guoyuan stood on the bow of the ship, watching the sky gradually become darker and the wind and waves on the sea getting stronger and stronger, with a bright smile on his face.

"Sky-high ocean currents!"

"Let me experience the wonders of this world with my own eyes."

As soon as Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, a vortex began to appear on the distant sea surface. Ji Guoyuan could feel that the airflow above the vortex in the distant sea was accelerating and gathering.

Realizing this, Ji Guoyuan waved to the two children Robin and Irene. When the two came closer, he held them both in his arms with one hand, and then shouted to Abel in the cab. road:

"Abel, go to the top of that vortex."

The small merchant ship slowly sailed towards the vortex. As the wind and clouds gathered, the vortex suddenly stopped. The next second the merchant ship arrived at the center, a huge current shot directly into the sky at a terrifying speed of a hundred meters per second.

The moment the water broke away from gravity, the small merchant ship suddenly disappeared on the sea.

"I've caught them all. If you guys are thrown off, just use the moon steps to climb up by yourself, hahahaha!"

The boat rode the current up the sky. Ji Guoyuan had his feet firmly planted on the deck. He leaned slightly and looked up at the scene above, shouting loudly to the crew on the boat.

Abel was holding the rudder tightly in the cab, looking at the scene outside the window. Xiong was also a little nervous, staring at the people outside the window, thinking that if there was danger, he would immediately go out and use his power to send everyone away.

On the deck, Mihawk was holding on to the railing with one hand, with only a little surprise in his eyes, while Tianzheng was holding the mast with both hands, and his tidy back was already messy.

"Bang!!"

Sky island.

Between the sea of ​​clouds, a small boat suddenly broke through the clouds and flew into the air.

After a while, the boat seemed to lose the power to continue rising and began to fall rapidly. At this time, the boat in the sky suddenly disappeared.

"Boom!!!!"

After a muffled sound, the boat that had just disappeared in mid-air appeared directly on the shore on the side of the sea of ​​clouds. A huge depression appeared on the ground around the boat. If viewed from the air, the sunken ground looked like It's a bear's paw print.

“It actually really exists”

"Sky Island?!"

On the deck of the boat, the two children Irene and Robin walked out of Yuanyi's arms and looked at the sea of ​​clouds behind them and the dense forest in front of them, their eyes full of unbelievable surprise.

Ji Guoyuan stood up slowly and looked at the scenery in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Suddenly, he felt a vibration in his arms. Ji Guoyuan looked slightly condensed, took out a phone bug from his arms, and quickly picked up the receiver.

"Zizzizi——"

The receiver was full of noise, which made Ji Guoyuan frown involuntarily.

"Who could it be? And at this time?"
