After going back to Sky Island, the deep shock on Yamato's face seemed frozen in place, not fading for a long time.
Just then, a figure came back with Yamato, it was Ryuen.
And as they two showed up, the other friends also came back here one after another.
Everyone knew that Ryuen had made enough preparations and was about to set out on the journey to Egghead Island.
"Yamato, what's wrong with you?". Nojiko noticed Yamato's slightly stunned expression right away. Her heart was full of confusion and doubt, so she quickly walked forward to ask.
Hearing Nojiko's question, Yamato seemed to wake up from a dream, but her eyes still had a trace of confusion and respect.
She muttered to herself:
"So... so strong... Ryuen is really strong...
I was a little doubtful when Nami mentioned it just now, but the scene Ryuen showed just now was too shocking for me!
The energy of the flames coming from his body even burned the space until it collapsed, it was really hot...".
Saying that,
Yamato seemed to recall the scene she had just witnessed again, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After Yamato finished speaking, everyone else present, except Nami and Kuina, once again showed shocked expressions.
Although Ryuen and Yamato were far enough away from Sky Island just now, they could still feel that heat on the Sky Island side.
"This is just the beginning...". Ryuen said somewhat proudly, "I controlled the heat just now, otherwise it would have burned more than just space...".
When Robin heard Ryuen's words, she immediately put away the surprise on her face.
She looked at Ryuen and asked softly:
"Okay... it's time for you to set off. Ryuen, is it really enough for just you and Kuina to go?"
Ryuen nodded slightly, he replied:
"It's just two of the Five Elders, I can handle them myself. Letting Kuina go with me is just in case the other one runs away while I'm attacking..."
At this time, Kuina's somewhat resentful voice sounded:
"So... it turns out I'm just acting as a tool..."
Hearing Kuina's words, Ryuen was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing:
"Hahahaha... So, my dear tool lady, you'll have to work hard and show off your skills then, help me stop that sword-using old man! I left the sword user to you to try out, just like you said ~".
Nojiko, who was standing beside them, widened her beautiful eyes when she heard this, glared at Ryuen, and scolded delicately:
"Kuina, don't pay attention to this shameless guy, he's simply a pervert! Your strength is already far beyond ordinary people. Compared to you, we are simply out of reach! What's more, you're still so young, your potential is limitless, and you'll definitely be able to go to the next level in the future and become incredibly strong!"
After speaking, Nojiko glared at Ryuen fiercely, as if she wanted to beat him up with her eyes.
Kuina did not respond immediately but stared intently at Ryuen.
There was a trace of unwillingness and stubbornness in her beautiful eyes, but more of it was helplessness.
Even though she didn't want to admit it in her heart, the fact was in front of her - with her current strength, it was indeed difficult to compete with Ryuen.
And one important reason why she insisted on going to Egghead Island with everyone was that she heard that one of the two Five Elders was a master swordsman.
She really wanted to see how exquisite the old man's swordsmanship was, but she thought that his swordsmanship was probably far inferior to Hawkeye Mihawk.
After all, the latter is known as the world's greatest swordsman!
"Cough cough~"
"Okay, that's enough, we should set off too.". Ryuen coughed lightly and said.
"Be careful~"
"Ryuen, don't be careless, even though your strength is already very strong..."
"Kuina, remember to be careful..."
...
The others who were not going told Ryuen and Kuina to be careful.
Ryuen nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard everyone's concern, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips:
"Don't worry, a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit, I understand this principle."
"Besides, when have you ever seen me go easy on someone? I will do my best this time!"
After speaking, a powerful aura radiated from his body, attracting attention.
Kuina stood beside him, quietly listening to Ryuen's words, her beautiful face also showing a look of determination.
She nodded heavily to everyone, signaling them not to worry too much.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Ryuen raised his hand, and a cloud of white gold rose from under his feet, quickly forming a huge flame cloud.
He jumped up gently, stepped onto the flame cloud, and then reached out to pull Kuina up.
He waved to everyone, and then the flame cloud shot out like an arrow, cutting through the sky and carrying the two of them towards Egghead Island.
The flame cloud left a long red trail in the air, as spectacular as a shooting star streaking across the sky.
"Huh?"
"Where are Ryuen and Kuina?"
"Have they already left?"
Ryuen and Kuina's figures had just disappeared into the sky when Bellemere and Genzo returned in a hurry.
"Yes, they just left. Don't worry, Genzo, Bellemere, Ryuen is very strong now, we don't need to worry..." Nami said softly.
She didn't know if she was comforting Genzo and Bellemere, or comforting herself.
"Sigh..."
"I was hoping to come back earlier to catch them...". Bellemere said with a sigh.
She and Genzo had just finished their work and rushed back immediately, but they still didn't make it before Ryuen and Kuina left.
————
After Ryuen and Kuina arrived at Egghead Island, they saw that the Egghead Island at this time had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to the last time they came!
Even the color of the shield covering Egghead Island had changed. Ryuen could feel that the current shield contained very special energy.
Just as Ryuen and Kuina were thinking about it, the shield suddenly opened a hole. The two knew that Vegapunk knew they had arrived.
Then the two immediately flew into Egghead Island through the opening.
"Hahahaha~
Ryuen, you're finally here. What do you think, has Egghead Island changed a lot now!". Sentomaru saw Ryuen and immediately said with a loud laugh and pride.
As if the changes to Egghead Island were his doing.
However, Vegapunk himself and the other five clones were indeed very proud at this moment.
They were very satisfied with the current Egghead Island.
