Chapter 844 Oh, is Red Haired Brother scared?
"There's an island above Elbaf?!"
When Jesus arrived and told everyone the news, Usopp, Luffy and the others jumped up in surprise or delight.
"No wonder I didn't notice you." Lin Qi suddenly realized.
The height of Sky Island is 10,000 meters in the sky, which corresponds exactly to the Fishman Island which is 10,000 meters under the sea.
Ten thousand meters, or ten kilometers. In fact, the distance is not too far. If laid horizontally, it is less than the span of a small or medium-sized island. With Lynch's observation Haki, even Nami's mind net can cover this range - but, normally, when releasing observation Haki, one will not deliberately take care of the ten thousand meters in the sky above the head.
Jesus laughed and said, "We are outsiders after all. It's not good for us to live in the village of Elbaf and disturb others."
Nami complained, "Aren't you also disturbing them by coming down to find food and supplies?"
"How can you say that?" Jesus said seriously, "I came here to hunt. I got it by my own skill. How can you say that I am disturbing you?"
"You are not taking us seriously at all, are you?" The giant chieftain raised his head and took a sip of wine, then laughed.
Jesus was wearing a cloak and holding a spear. "Well, how about a fight?"
"Let me compete with you!" Usopp picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He took out a silver-white sphere from the tool bag on his waist, squeezed it hard, and it instantly turned into a silver-white metal slingshot. Usopp looked at his father with a firm look in his eyes, "Luffy wants to duel with Red Hair, so I will duel with you, Dad!"
"Oh?" The bearded Jesus' eyes became sharp, "Usopp, didn't you beat me before?"
"Do we need to look so serious when saying this?!" Nami and Chopper grumbled.
“Hahahaha! Stop talking nonsense! Let’s go up first!”
Luffy stood up, shaking his fleshy bones and yelling to the sky, "Go to Sky Island! Find Shanks to fight! Hehehe..."
"Jesus, lead the way."
Lin Qi also stood up, looked up at the clouds in the sky, and said to himself, "Do you have any guests up there?"
"Hey, Lynch, you can sense it from here. Your observation skills are pretty good!" Jesus Bu was surprised and nodded, "Yes, there is a bad guest, but fortunately he didn't really fight with the captain."
Robin asked curiously, "If he is so easy to talk to, why do you call him 'bad guest'?"
"I just said that the captain didn't do anything..." Jesus explained.
Lynch thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Did Mihawk help Shanks stop the other party?"
Jesus laughed and said, "Yes, it just so happened that Hawkeye was drinking with the captain at that time."
"The captain said..." Jesus glanced at the Straw Hat Boy who was walking in front happily, "Before Luffy comes, he can't just attack casually. He has to maintain his full strength and have a manly duel with Luffy." He chuckled, "So, Hawkeye will do it for you."
In other words, even Red-Haired Shanks didn't think he could get away with it if he dealt with this guest himself.
Lin Qi said: "There are not many guests in this sea right now who need Mihawk to stop on his behalf."
Jesus Bu said with emotion: "Yeah, I have only heard of that guy, but I didn't expect to meet him in person."
Golden Lion... Robin and the others thought of the legendary pirate that the giants of Elbaf were talking about not long ago. Obviously, Golden Lion appeared in Elbaf not for the giant warriors, but for Red-Haired Shanks. Now he was 10,000 meters above his head... The incident that Mihawk had heard before, injuring Helding, obviously happened on the way when he was leaving after stopping Golden Lion for Red-Haired Shanks.
Lin Qi smiled and said, "I think there is a place for you and your son to duel."
…
Jesus came down along the towering Adam tree on the island of Elbaf, but the crowd did not climb directly up the trunk. Instead, they went to the beach to catch fish and hunt in the woods first.
Sanji ran back to the Sunny and brought out some stored wine and food.
Franky volunteered to stay and look after the ship, and asked the giants of Elbaf how much it would cost to get some wood from the precious Adam tree.
The precious tree Adam is a rare material for shipbuilding. The keel of Franky's masterpiece, the Sunny, is made of a piece of Adam wood.
In response, the giants answered generously: no money is required.
Have a fight, win, and Adam Wood can be taken at will.
Franky rubbed his fists and chuckled, "So, you guys go up. I have something to do over here."
No one was worried about Franky's strength, and the group quickly followed Jesus Bu up the huge trunk of the treasure tree Adam.
"What a huge tree!" Luffy ran at the front and on top, and then he stopped to look around and down, exclaiming, "It's almost the same as the giant vine on Sky Island!"
In fact, it is quite different. The Treasure Tree Adam is a tree after all, not something with many vines entwined and can be used as a normal path for walking. Fortunately, the people here are not ordinary people. A year of collective training, especially the extreme environment of the Boeing Islands, has made everyone's wilderness survival skills maxed out. Even Nami, even without the ability of the Thunder Fruit, can easily climb such a towering tree.
What's more, almost everyone has a Thundercloud Homies... When they get tired of climbing trees, they just sit on the thundercloud and float up like taking an elevator.
Jesus complained: "Hey! Lynch! You are cheating!"
Lynch and Robin were sitting side by side on the thundercloud Ymir, rising leisurely. Hearing this, they looked puzzled and whispered, "What? The wind is too loud, I can't hear you clearly."
"What a bullshit wind!" Jesus cried.
Lin Qi said loudly: "This is too slow, let's speed up."
After saying that, he held out his hand, and Robin smiled and placed his hand on his arm.
Lynch walked down the thundercloud, and the blue-black iron rod naturally flew to his feet. Like riding a skateboard, Lynch and Robin were lifted up by the blue-black iron rod and broke through the cloud.
"Ohhhh! Rubber, rubber..."
Luffy stretched out his arms, whooshed towards the high-altitude clouds and chased after him.
"Three Swords Style: Three Thousand Winds and Clouds Rising..."
Zoro bit the Wado Ichimonji and slashed a storm into the air. The huge reaction force pushed him up into the sky like a cannonball. His Thundercloud Thor exclaimed and hurriedly chased after him.
It was easy for Sanji, he rose gracefully on the golden frisbee.
Nami didn't need to say anything more. She turned into lightning, coiled around the towering tree and went up into the depths of the clouds in the sky.
"Oh oh oh oh!" Chopper and the fox Onimaru climbed the tree nimbly. Brook next to them sat on Chopper's Mjolnir and rose leisurely.
"They are all weirdos!" Jesus was very upset. "I am a normal person!"
"Come on, Dad." Usopp, who was sitting on the thundercloud Modi, smiled and patted it. Jesus sighed, jumped up with the bulging prey, and rose together.
Soon, the thunderclouds carried the father and son through layers of clouds and mist, rising to a height of several thousand meters. Everything around them became open, leaving only a small crown of the treasure tree Adam. Compared with the vast sky, the towering tree did not seem so magnificent. Usopp's attention was not here, but was staring at the thing pointed by a branch that stretched out diagonally from the crown of the treasure tree Adam.
A waterfall.
"It's a waterfall made of 'sea clouds'!" Nami, who was glowing with lightning and imitating Lynch, stepped on her golden staff and floated in the air, said this. She leaned over and touched the pure white waterfall. It felt like flowing water. After falling to this height, this kind of waterfall would disappear on its own. Whether it was sea clouds or island clouds, they could only exist in extremely high altitude environments.
Usopp exclaimed, "Dad, did you jump from this waterfall to Adam over there and then climb down?"
"Yes." Jesus Bu said, and jumped from the thundercloud Mody into the sea cloud waterfall with only a small part hanging down from the tail, and swam upstream like a sea fish.
Brooke said admiringly: "If I make a mistake and fail to jump to the crown of the treasure tree Adam, won't I just fall down?"
Just thinking about it, Usopp, Chopper and even Merry were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The fox Onimaru next to them pretended to be calm, but he was so frightened that his hair was shaking off.
Lin Qi looked up and said, "Keep going up."
He took a deep breath and stepped on the dark blue iron rod to enter the Chuiyun Waterfall.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The moment Robin's belt touched the seawater, the oxygen mask made of morphological memory alloy was released automatically. The sea cloud is also the sea. Robin felt a little powerless, leaning on Lynch's body, looking around. In the upstream waterfall, there was Luffy in red armor, Zoro in green armor, Sanji in yellow armor... As they swam, they also coordinated tacitly to pose in various team poses...
Following the waterfall, we quickly passed through the White Sea and the White Sea and arrived at the top layer of sky island clouds.
The air became thinner, and Lynch exhaled lightly. With his Life Return Realm and the ability to control his own body, it only took him one breath to fully adapt to the oxygen environment at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
"Over there." Robin removed the purple oxygen mask on her face and put it back into her belt, and she pointed in one direction.
The islands made of cumulus clouds, completely pure white, float on the equally pure white ocean.
On the pure white island, there are pure white mountains. The island clouds form twin peaks, and Red-haired Shanks sits on one of the peaks. On the top of the opposite peak, there is a golden figure.
The two of them sat facing each other like this, and no one knew how long they sat there or how long they faced each other.
"The rudder... is on the head..." Luffy looked up at the golden lion in amazement.
"Huh?" Golden Lion frowned, "Idiot, how can a ship's rudder be stuck in your head? You'll die!" He reached out and touched his head, shocked, "Is there really a ship's rudder on my head?!"
Brooke said happily: "Wow, an ordinary person would have died long ago like this, right? You are really amazing, you are worthy of being called the Lion on that ship!"
"Hahahaha!" Luffy laughed out loud, "Uncle Lion is so funny!"
"Hahahaha, you're not bad!" Golden Lion sat on the top of the mountain, patted his thigh and laughed, "It's a pity that the person I'm looking for is not you."
He looked behind the crowd at Lynch, who was walking ashore step by step from the sea of clouds with Robin.
"Lin Qi, come and join me!" The Golden Lion opened his arms and laughed heartily, "With your assistance and my ability, it is no longer a dream to dominate the world! Together we can realize the ambition that that man couldn't do back then and become the king of the world! - Well, Nico Robin can come too."
Lin Qi laughed and said, "Do you need to add your ability? I am so lame."
"Hmm?" Golden Lion raised his eyebrows.
"Dominate the world?" Red-haired Shanks couldn't help but laugh, "This kid doesn't care about such trivial things."
The golden lion snorted coldly, staring at Luffy with eyes that were not eyes and nose that were not nose, "What, you would rather submit to a brat like this than recognize me as your boss?" He squinted and glanced at Lynch.
As soon as he said this, not only Robin, but also Nami, Sanji and others laughed.
Zoro sighed, "He really made a mistake."
"Look, old cat, this is why we won't be on the same boat." Lynch reached out and grabbed the blue-black iron rod floating beside him, weighing it on his shoulder. "If you keep acting like the boss and being submissive all day long and can't make friends, you will get beaten up. Just like you later."
The golden lion's eyes became sharp, and he snorted coldly: "Who is the old cat?"
"That look is so sharp it's totally out of place!" Usopp couldn't help but complain.
"I understand. Be it you or this brat..." The Golden Lion stood up on the top of the mountain, or rather floated up. His eyes swept from Lynch to Luffy, and then to the red-haired Shanks on the opposite mountain. "Be it the red-haired brat or Mihawk, Roger or Newgate, they are all the same kind of people! Family and friends are all nonsense! In this sea, there are only rulers and subjects!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Lin Qi picked his ears and tilted his head to gesture at the vast sky not far away. "Let's fight somewhere else? Lead the way."
"Hahahaha! So refreshing!"
The golden lion floated up, and with a wave of his hand, pulled down a large piece of rock from the higher clouds and flew it in front of Lynch.
Stone... Seeing this, Robin thought of the Golden Lion's ability and guessed that he must be "carrying" a flying island, which might be floating somewhere in the sky nearby.
"Oh, pick-up and drop-off are included, that's great." Lynch didn't mind and stood up casually. Robin beside him jumped lightly and followed.
"Aren't you two going to duel?" Lin Qi turned around and said with a smile.
Usopp was stunned. His father Jesus Bu had already jumped onto the floating rock platform with great interest. "I have long been interested in the rumored floating island base of the Golden Lion."
"Chopper, come too." Lynch waved his hand. If he remembered correctly, Golden Lion must have been doing some secret experiments during his years of seclusion. The research results should be of great benefit to Chopper.
It was broad daylight and suddenly an experience pack was delivered to my door for free. I would feel embarrassed if I didn't accept it.
"Ah? Oh oh!" Chopper let out a whoosh and jumped to Lynch's feet.
"Hmph." The Golden Lion didn't care about the increasing number of hitchhikers. He raised his finger and waved it, and the huge rock on which Lynch and others were standing flew up as light as a feather.
Before leaving, Shanks raised his voice and asked, "Hey! Lynch! Did Luffy really defeat Kaido by himself?"
Lin Qi laughed and said, "Hey, is Red Hair scared?"
Shanks laughed, stuck out his tongue and made a disdainful face to Lynch, then jumped down from the top of the Island Cloud Peak. Vice Captain Beckman laughed and said, "Luffy is not simple to beat Kaido in a single fight!" Fatty Lagi Lu and other crew members shouted, "The captain is going to be beaten!" Shanks said unhappily, "Which side are you from?!"
Luffy walked slowly towards Shanks, took off the straw hat on his head, threw it aside, and let it float in the air.
"Hat, I've got it back!" Luffy laughed, and with a bang, his fists and palms collided, causing ripples.
"Humph, just a brat..." Shanks grinned and drew out the famous sword Griffin from his waist. A ray of domineering aura surrounded the blade. "But I really didn't expect that you could get here so quickly, Luffy."
Zoro, Sanji and others quickly mixed together with Ben Beckman and other members of the Red Hair Pirates. They had already become familiar with each other in the Sabaody Archipelago a year ago, so they were no strangers at this moment. They shared food and wine together, eating and drinking while watching the duel between Luffy and Shanks.
BANG!!! The aura on the island cloud surged into the sky, and the red and black ripples collided with the dark domineering aura in the air, rolling apart the higher sky.
