One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

"It's already daylight! So, did you see anything?"

Bages looked carefully through the binoculars for a while, then shook his head: "No, I didn't see a single ghost on the other side. Are those people really going to the Sky Island?"

"That's what they said. It would be troublesome if they got into the air. We have to take care of them before that happens."

"After all, Straw Hat Luffy is a wanted criminal with a bounty of 100 million Berries!"

After a while, the sky suddenly darkened, and a large hole appeared in the clouds, as if something was brewing.

Chapter 253 Visitors from Qinghai

Saruyama Combined Forces.

"Boss, something bad has happened! Darkness is coming from the southwest towards us, it's the Accumulated Cloud!"

The Jade Emperor arrived unexpectedly early, leaving the Saruyama Alliance with no choice but to quickly send people to explore the location of the ocean currents before sending the Straw Hat crew there.

"Report: Confirmed! A giant creature has been detected in the Chongtian Current at the 12 o'clock position and 9 o'clock exact direction!"

Before the Straw Hat crew could react, the entire ship began to shake violently, and an unprecedentedly huge whirlpool appeared in front of them!

Before long, a huge, towering current appeared in the vortex, engulfing everything around it and carrying it into the sky.

The Straw Hat crew escaped unharmed, much to Teach's regret.

"These guys are really fearless! They're lucky, anyway, a lot of supernovas have come to Paradise recently, their heads will be just as useful in negotiating with the World Government."

"let's go!"

......

White Sea.

"Cough cough~" "Cough cough cough cough!"

The Straw Hat crew was in a very sorry state, partly because they had drunk seawater and partly because of the thin air on the Sky Island.

After Luffy coughed up seawater, he was immediately excited when he saw the surrounding scenery out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey everyone! Look! Everything around us is white!"

Chopper stared in shock, his jaw agape, wondering why it always opened so wide.

"White and soft, is it a cloud or a cotton candy?"

"Why didn't we fall down when we were in the clouds?"

Chopper shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but he just felt like someone was missing.

Upon seeing Usopp rolling his eyes to the side, Chopper rushed over immediately.

A series of slaps followed: "Oh no! Usopp's dead!"

"what?!"

Fortunately, Chopper was a doctor, and with Chopper's help, Usopp vomited a mouthful of seawater and woke up.

"Uh, where am I... Huh? What! Aren't these clouds? There are so many clouds! What is this?!"

Nami glanced at the pointer in her hand; it was pointing diagonally upwards, unlike when it pointed straight to the sky on Jaya Island.

Does this mean...?

"We've arrived at Sky Island, which means this is the so-called Sky Sea!"

"But why is the pointer still pointing upwards?"

Robin was about to say something when a strange movement occurred from the mountain peak. Robin frowned slightly and took out the corner of the Vivre Card that Karl had given her.

The life card slowly moved forward in his palm.

“Karl…”

Nami turned her head to look at Robin: "What's wrong?"

“Karl is nearby.”

"Is it that naval hero Karl?" Usopp asked.

Robin nodded: "That's right, this is the Vivre Card he gave me. The fact that there's this kind of reaction means that Karl isn't far from us."

Could it be that Karl is also on Skypiea?

Yes, that's right. A few days ago, Karl mentioned that he had been to Sky Island, but she hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

The Kingdom of Women, the Empress's Palace.

Hancock was changing clothes constantly because she was going to Angel Island with Carl today.

"Does this look good, darling?"

Carl glanced at Hancock, who was wearing a sky-blue dress, and smiled slightly. "Don't be silly, you're the most beautiful woman in the world. You look good in anything."

Hancock gave Carl a charming sidelong glance. "You know how to talk," she thought, but she still felt it wasn't quite right because Carl was wearing a white suit today, which she felt was a bit mismatched.

Hmm, I'll stick with that off-white cheongsam from before.

After waiting another fifteen minutes, Hancock finally changed into her desired clothes. The milky white cheongsam, paired with gorgeous jewelry, made her look elegant and noble, exuding a fatal attraction.

"Honey, let's go!"

......

Angel Island.

Upon seeing the ravens in the sky, Ganford straightened up and quickly walked forward after the ravens landed.

"Lady Hancock, Lord Karl, welcome to Angel Island."

Hancock's face was as cold as ice as she said, "Ganford, I've given you the gold. Where are the empty shells I asked for?"

"Please rest assured, the first batch of Sky Shells has been put into the warehouse. I can take you and Lord Karl to take a look. If there are no problems, I will arrange for someone to send the Sky Shells to Daughter Island."

"Okay, that's good. Hancock, let's go take a look!"

As the ice and snow melted, Hancock smiled and nodded: "I will obey your command."

"Mr. Ganford, Mr. Ganford!"

Ganful frantically winked, signaling not to make a fuss; couldn't they see the supreme ruler of the Sky Island was here?

"Ahem, just say what you have to say. Why are you all flustered?"

The soldier who came to report scratched his head: "Uh, it's nothing really. A pirate ship has just passed through the Gates of Heaven and is about to arrive at Angel Beach."

"Pirate?"

Hancock frowned and glanced at Karl: "Darling, if they're pirates, then..."

"Don't worry, it's probably the Straw Hat crew. I'll handle them. By the way, do you want to come along?"

Hancock seemed somewhat tempted, but considering the disgusted looks the pirates would show upon seeing her, she gave up.

"Never mind, my dear, you can go by yourself. I'll go back by myself after I've finished checking the Guangbei."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

......

Angel Beach.

"Did you come from the Blue Ocean?"

Luffy looked at the winged woman in front of him and nodded: "Right? We flew up from below. Do you live here?"

"Yes, I am a resident here. Welcome to Angel Beach in the Kingdom of Women."

Sanji raised an eyebrow. "The Land of Women... wait, could it be the legendary land of only women?"

"Miss Angel, Miss Angel, when you say the Kingdom of Women, do you mean a country where only girls live?"

Connie shook her head: "Yes and no. The place I live in is called Angel Island, which is an island ruled by the Kingdom of Women. Angel Island has both men and women, but the core area of ​​the Sky Island, Apayado, which is also the Kingdom of Women, is indeed full of girls."

"Ahhhh! This really is paradise!!!" Sanji grinned like a lovesick fool.

"By the way, my name is Connie, and this is the cloud fox here named Sisi. If you have any questions, I will try my best to assist you."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Great! We had a lot of questions just in case! In short, this place is incredible for us."

"Hehe, okay, feel free to ask me any questions. If I know the answer, I will definitely tell you."

Robin glanced at Connie, then looked at the Vivre Card in his palm.

"It's getting closer and closer!"

Chapter 254 The Territory of the Seven Warlords

A booming sound came from afar. Zoro turned his head and looked, saying something that sounded strange.

"Hey, it looks like someone's coming."

Connie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, everyone, this is my father."

"Connie! Hello there!" (Skypiea dialect)
