Chapter 89: Sky Island and Conis!
Upon the boundless sea of clouds.
A small boat sat still on the surface.
"Sky Island??"
Coming back to their senses, everyone sized up this area of the sea, their eyes flashing with indescribable amazement.
An ocean in the sky, where sea and clouds coexist.
The world is vast and truly magical.
"This isn't Sky Island, at most it's the White Sea. Sky Island is above this!"
Lister smiled faintly.
"Above??"
Everyone looked shocked, raising their heads to look at the sky.
However, the sky was a clear azure blue right now; it was really impossible to see anything above.
"Look over there!" Lister pointed towards a layer of clouds on the horizon.
"Let's go, we're heading there!!"
Lister commanded.
Under everyone's maneuvering, the small boat continued to sail forward.
Before long.
The small boat arrived at the entrance of Heaven's Gate.
Snap.
A short and thin old lady, looking like a dried plum, walked out from a small door inside Heaven's Gate. Without a word, she directly took a photo of Lister and the others' boat.
Only then did she slowly say:
"Welcome. Are you here for sightseeing, or for war??"
"Lister, look quickly, there's a pair of wings behind the old lady!!" Nami was the first to notice the wings behind Amazon and exclaimed in surprise.
"An angel??" Everyone scrutinized her, murmuring to themselves.
"Wasted my expectations for nothing. Turns out angels look like dried plums!!"
Illusions shattered.
The group unabashedly revealed looks of disdain.
Towards this, the Heaven's Gate Monitor, Amazon, showed no expression whatsoever.
She had seen too many of such disillusioned expressions.
Towards this, not only was she not offended, she was actually complacent.
Her mindset could be perfectly described by someone's words: Every cause has its effect; your retribution is me!!
"Sightseeing, or war??" Amazon repeated her earlier question.
"Granny, we are sightseeing!" Nami smiled amicably.
They were here to trouble Enel.
Not to bulldoze the entire Sky Island.
Unrelated personnel.
Try not to involve them.
"Is that so. Sightseeing is one billion Extol per person. There are twenty people on the boat, so you need to pay twenty billion!" Amazon said.
"Twenty billion?? That's highway robbery!!" Although Nami wasn't clear on how much Extol was worth, hearing the number twenty billion, Nami, who always valued money more than life, screamed on the spot.
"What happens if I don't pay??" Nami asked again.
"If you don't pay, you can still pass," Amazon said.
"Is that so!" Nami smiled: "Then I won't pay!"
Lister glanced at Nami without speaking. After all, he planned to do this from the start.
"Is that so, I understand!"
Subsequently, Amazon called for the Speedy Shrimp.
The Speedy Shrimp's two large pincers instantly grabbed the small boat Lister and the others were on.
"Everyone sit tight, we're accelerating!"
Lister reminded.
Trusting Lister, everyone grabbed onto nearby objects.
The next moment, the Speedy Shrimp moved.
Like a roller coaster, it grabbed the small boat and raced towards the White-White Sea three thousand meters above.
"Ah..."
Although everyone was prepared due to Lister's warning.
Once the Speedy Shrimp moved, they were still scared into screaming.
After the small boat left.
Heaven's Gate Monitor Amazon immediately reported upwards: "Attention, there are twenty illegal entrants!"
If any modern person were watching this scene, they would definitely not help but shout: What a troll, entrapment!
Boom!
In less than three minutes.
The Speedy Shrimp pulled the small boat to the White-White Sea.
After dropping the small boat, the Speedy Shrimp disappeared.
"Is this Sky Island??"
"Yes!!"
"Look quickly, there are plants over there. So magical, plants growing in the clouds!"
"Sail the boat over!"
Soon, the small boat docked.
Everyone disembarked one after another.
Feet stepping on the soft clouds.
The group was like southern youths seeing snow in the north, their eyes full of curiosity.
Stepping here, touching there.
Full of novelty.
"Look quickly, there's a coconut tree here, and there are coconuts on the tree. I wonder what coconuts on Sky Island taste like, want to try!"
"Who wants to go pick a few coconuts!"
"Me!" Akame spoke up.
Then, Murasame was unsheathed.
"Phoenix of the 36 Pound Cannon!"
Akame used the swordsmanship she learned from Lister.
In an instant.
A tornado appeared abruptly.
Sweeping towards the coconuts on the coconut tree.
Thud thud thud!
Instantly, countless coconuts fell from the tree.
The girls ran to pick them up, delivering one to each person including Lister, Nami, Robin, and Nojiko.
They also kept one for themselves.
Subsequently, they couldn't wait to taste them.
However, despite trying all sorts of methods, they couldn't open them.
"The coconut is so hard, is it really edible??" The girls doubted life.
"I'll try!" In the end, Akame chose to solve the problem with force.
Murasame was drawn again.
Akame also entered a combat state instantly, swiftly swinging Murasame to chop at the coconut.
Pfft.
The coconut was chopped in half on the spot.
Akame picked up the half full of coconut water and drank it directly.
Her eyes lit up instantly.
"So sweet."
Saying that, she directly finished the remaining coconut water in one gulp.
"Akame, open mine for me!"
"No problem!"
With a few swish swish swish sounds, Akame chopped all the coconuts in half.
However, her swordsmanship was excellent.
Her mastery of positioning was also very precise.
Those coconuts were split with a 30-70 ratio.
Only a small opening was made on the top.
Not much coconut juice was wasted.
For a time, the girls drank with great satisfaction.
"Hehe!!!" Just then, a soft chuckle came from not far away.
Attracting everyone's attention.
Only then did Akame and the others realize that a golden-haired girl had appeared nearby at some point.
There was a cloud fox at the girl's feet.
"Heso!!" Seeing the girls looking at her, Conis greeted politely.
"Heso!!" Instantly understanding that this phrase represented a friendly greeting, the girls returned the greeting to Conis one after another.
"Hello, are you an indigenous resident of Sky Island??" Yulan glanced at the wings on Conis's back and asked amicably.
"Yes. My name is Conis. This is Su. He is my partner. Are you from the Blue Sea??" Conis asked equally amicably after introducing herself and the cloud fox.
"Blue Sea?? Does that mean the ocean below??" Yulan asked.
"Yes!" Conis nodded.
"Yes, we came up from the Blue Sea!!" Yulan nodded.
"We are looking for..."
Suddenly, with a boom.
A pillar of lightning descended from the sky.
Landing on Angel Island.
Everyone was instantly startled by this sudden turn of events.
