Pirate: I broke Akainu's defense with a bucket of water.

It may seem ordinary, but it is actually just a sea trip for the second generation.

As for Usopp, at first I thought he was a second-generation thief.

But in fact, compared with the other three, his identity background and bloodline blessing are the least.

Ordinary even.

So Cheng Lang still likes Usopp quite a lot, but unfortunately, whether it is in anime or comics, there is very little that is shown about the sniper Usopp.

The sniper skills demonstrated may be the key given to Robin at the end of the Encyclopedia arc, and the frightened little loli in Dressrosa.

Very strong, but also limited.

Shooting attacks like domineering entanglement are not displayed.

And Usopp's exaggerated observation distance was not shown in the later period.

Even became a background board at one point.

He has been marginalized to the point where readers want Usopp to get off the ship.

"Are you becoming stronger through your own efforts?" Cheng Lang thought thoughtfully.

Usopp is clever and can do a lot of things with the help of Yaoshi's Swallow Swallow Fruit.

Maybe I can really figure out something for him.

However, the number of Straw Hat Pirates has gradually increased.

In addition, there is also an internal circulation trend.

Usopp's 'lack of effort' might be more noticeable.

Looked at the small map.

It was discovered that Usopp was surrounded by many residents of Angel Island.

At least there shouldn't be any problems over there.

At this time, the express shrimp had already sent everyone to the forbidden area of ​​Arpaiado.

"Is this the Golden City?" Nami was full of curiosity.

Although the Straw Hat Pirates are not short of money or gold now, who would complain about having too much of these things?

Robin was also very curious. After all, there were many records about the Golden Country, and there should even be a historical text.

Alrita looked at the giant tree on the island.

"The air on Sky Island is scarce, so why can the trees grow so big?"

After hearing this, others also became curious.

"Ah! What is that!" Chopper was hanging on the edge of the boat, watching a dark shadow swimming under the sea of ​​clouds.

By now they had arrived in Arpaiado.

That is when the words fell.

A lamprey over ten meters long rose from the sea of ​​clouds.

"Ahhhh! Monster!" Chopper was shaking with fear.

The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates naturally noticed it as well.

Luffy's eyes lit up: "This thing will be delicious if you grill it and sprinkle some salt on it."

Sanji nodded in agreement.

"Lampreys have fewer bones and firmer texture. If they are marinated in advance, they taste even better."

"Do you want the complete one?" Zoro pulled out the Wado Ichimonji.

After hearing what Sanji said, Alrita didn't know when a mace appeared in her hand, and her tongue quietly licked her red lips.

Seems hungry too.

The lamprey in the sky: "???"

Fists, swords, kicks, and sticks.

The lamprey fell into a peaceful sleep.

Sanji started his cooking.

"As expected, just like other fish in Sky Island, there are a lot of cavities in the body, and the meat is a bit loose." As a chef, Sanji has no problem with dissection.

The creatures on Sky Island are either relatively flat or very large.

The former has chewy texture, while the latter is not bad in texture, it is just a lot looser than the former.

But at the same time, it is relatively flavorful when pickled.

Cooking different dishes is also completely different.

Soon, with Sanji's quick cooking, the lamprey was marinated, smoked, and finally baked.

"Five ants!" Luffy ate the smoked lamprey in big mouthfuls.

"It's a pity that there is not enough time. Otherwise, if we had obtained the aromatherapy materials from Sky Island, we might be able to make dishes with more flavors." Sanji said with some regret.

Alrita was eating smoked lamprey and looking at the express shrimp at her feet.

"I think the shrimp underneath tastes good too, and they're great steamed."

Express Shrimp: “?!”

The express shrimp carrying the Merry was even faster.

In less than five minutes, it had completed its mission, placed the Straw Hat Pirates' ship on the altar, and then quickly left, fearing that if it was a second late, it would be caught, and then its life and death would not be in its control.

Chapter 223: Mural of the Sun God

"Is this the altar?"

Robin jumped off the boat first and looked at the painting on the stone wall.

Then she noticed a person on the mural.

It's not particularly dazzling, nor is it special.

It’s just that he’s in the center position, and his body is more...smooth than the other characters in the painting?

The person in the picture has fluffy and round hair, and is wrapped around his body like a ribbon.

He holds a round shield and a long sword, and the style of the long sword is very similar to the Seven Star Sword.

It's even the style of the Seven Star Sword.

"this.."

Robin touched the mural.

The traces left by time have erased many marks on the murals.

But this person's was the only one that didn't have it, and when he brushed his hand over it, he could feel that the stone was obviously different.

It was obvious that this person was carefully carved.

"Sacrifice to the sun god...Nika."

Robin murmured the name.

In the mural, the so-called sun god Nika inserted the seven-star sword in his hand into the altar.

Countless people cut their wrists beside the altar, and blood flowed out, finally gathering under the altar.

"..."

Robin's eyes were a little confused, lost in memory. "Sun God Nika? I seem to have seen this term somewhere."

It was at this moment that Cheng Lang walked over and saw the mural.

Some surprises.

Did this mural already exist during the Sky Island period?

"Have you seen this picture in the memory of the Seven Star Sword?" Robin brushed past the picture of the Seven Star Sword on the altar.

Cheng Lang looked at this scene and shook his head.

"Sky Island and Gaya Island are related by the relationship of front and back islands, and this Arpayard was once part of Gaya Island. If nothing unexpected happens, the connection between the two should be quite deep. Maybe... they were once one island?"

Cheng Lang seemed to be lost in thought.

Robin continued to look along the mural.

However, these are the only images and stories that can be summarized from the murals.

A god named Sun Nika had his sword broken, and then there was a sacrificial ceremony, where blood was poured to heal the Seven Star Sword.

Cheng Lang placed one hand on the Seven Star Sword.

The story is vague, but the Seven Star Sword is an antique that has been passed down from some era.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to get some information, especially now that my spirituality is enhanced.

A domineering influx.

The blade of the Seven Star Sword trembled.

Strands of ghost energy flowed into Cheng Lang's hands.

Cheng Lang frowned.

Robin asked curiously, "How is it?"

"No, the Seven Star Sword had no memories before it met me. Although it has some impressions and obsessions, it's not very clear about some details. I just know that it needed to fight a certain organization, and it was interrupted more than once during that time. It has no memory of this period and is in a daze."

Robin looked at the Seven Star Sword on the altar and said, "The Seven Star Sword was once the sword of the Sun God Nika, but it shouldn't have been during the Queen's time. Is it after that..."

Robin was making his own inferences while frantically searching for words related to the sun god Nika in his mind.

However, I still can't remember where I saw it.

This proves that the Sun God Nika is very far away from her memory, at least not in Alabasta, not even before she was twenty years old, or even longer.

And even longer before.

She hadn't grown up yet at that time and had to hide from place to place every day.

So there is very little time to see it.

And there is only one possible final result.

That was when he was still at O'Hara.

However, during that period, although she was secretly learning ancient characters, she had read very few, or even no, history-related books.

Robin sighed, thinking that she must have just happened to see it when she was learning to recognize ancient characters.

"There should be more information on the island. It seems that I really need to go to the Golden Country." Robin said to himself.

And Cheng Lang had no intention of giving away spoilers.

Although Robin was invited on board by Cheng Lang and often smiled when interacting with the Straw Hat Pirates, compared to the original work, Robin had a certain gap on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

At least that's how Cheng Lang felt.

After all, many key elements are missing.

For example, being seriously injured and on the verge of death, D's will, and the memories of Luffy being on the verge of death several times and being saved by her.

Robin began to study on his own.

When Cheng Lang saw that Robin stopped talking, he changed his target.

He looked at the cloud sharks surrounding the altar. To be honest, sharks were not very tasty fish.

After all, sharks don't have urinary organs.

But this does not mean that sharks do not need to urinate. Instead, they use the osmotic pressure mechanism of seawater through their skin to circulate water resources inside and outside their bodies.

This also causes shark meat to taste like ammonia, or urine.
