If they wanted to expand their intelligence network to the Four Seas, the Limitless Pirates could provide the necessary funds for the first six months to a year.
But in the long run, based on the Limitless Pirates' current funds, they might face a deficit after a year!
And for the intelligence network to develop steadily and become self-sufficient, it would need to continue developing for at least five years.
"Isn't it just a matter of Berries? Don't worry, I know of a very large treasure location. This trip to the Four Seas is to find that treasure location."
"At that time, our Limitless Pirates will not lack money, so you can boldly develop the intelligence network. The larger, the better, don't worry about money!"
Nox said with a smile.
As for the Gold City on Sky Island, there was a whole city's worth of gold. Nox wasn't sure exactly how many Berries that gold was worth.
Just looking at the small amount of gold the Straw Hat Pirates took, which could be exchanged for two to three hundred million Berries.
The Gold City's Berries would be at least a trillion, and this is when the Berries haven't depreciated yet, it can reach a trillion!
"That's great!"
Shakky happily rewarded Nox with a kiss. She enjoyed intelligence work.
Establishing a Law Net intelligence organization covering the entire World for Nox was Shakky's current dream.
"Then are we going directly to search for the treasure first?"
Lesley asked curiously. She was very interested in the treasure Nox mentioned.
One must know that the Limitless Pirates' current funds were already close to two hundred billion Berries, yet it was not enough to support Shakky's development of the intelligence network.
And the treasure Nox mentioned was much more than the treasures their Limitless Pirates owned, so she was also very interested.
"Yes, let's go to Amazon Lily first and find a Sea Kings to carry us across the Calm Belt."
"Then we'll head directly to the first half of the Grand Line. The treasure is there."
Nox said.
Although this ship could manually cross the Calm Belt, if a Sea Kings could tow the ship, it would save on manual labor.
According to the previous plan, Nox would sail to Amazon Lily, then cross the Calm Belt.
Nox and the others changed their appearance and attire, and with the Sea Transport King's flag hanging on the sail.
There were no troubles along the way. Even if there were, Nox easily resolved them.
They leisurely traveled towards Mock Town.
Shakky placed many special mirrors on every island they passed. These mirrors would be important basis for developing the Law Net in the future.
"Nox, is this the treasure location you mentioned?"
After arriving at Mock Town, Shakky asked curiously. There was a small town on the island, with many people, but it didn't look like there was any treasure at all.
If there were, with so many people here, it would have been found long ago.
"Have you heard the story of Sky Island and the Gold City?"
Nox asked with a smile.
"Could it be that legendary Gold City? The Gold City where the entire city is cast in gold?"
Before Shakky could speak, Lesley exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, it's the Gold City. The Gold City is on Sky Island, and this Mock Town is part of Sky Island."
"Back then, Sky Island was propelled to an altitude of ten thousand meters by the ocean current surging from the seabed."
"As long as we can reach an altitude of ten thousand meters, we can find Sky Island and the Gold City."
Nox said.
"Ten thousand meters high? How do we get up?"
Shakky asked subconsciously. None of them could fly, so how could they get up? If it were the Golden Lion, it would be very easy for him to fly up.
"That's not difficult. Bullet, change the gravity, reverse the direction of gravity and increase the gravity multiplier."
"Karoo, grab the ship and let the ship fly up into the sky together!"
Nox said with a slight smile.
He had specifically asked Bullet and Karoo to come along for this very moment.
At the same time, Nox's Busoshoku covered the entire surface of the ship, making it sturdy.
"Captain, leave it to me!"
Bullet said confidently.
Immediately, he used his gravity ability, changing the gravity within a two-hundred-meter radius to be vertically upward, and doubling the gravity.
Karoo also fully transformed into his Sword Wing Tiger form, grabbing the ship and flying towards the sky.
With the help of gravity, even with Karoo holding the entire ship, it didn't take much effort to fly.
Everything was as Nox expected. They quickly ascended to an altitude of ten thousand meters, passed through the White Sea, and reached Sky Island.
"Whew!!!!"
After arriving on Sky Island, Bullet immediately collapsed onto the deck, exhausted!
Changing the direction of gravity was simple, but sustaining it for such a long time and doubling the gravity was still a bit too difficult for the current Bullet.
"This is Sky Island!!"
Lesley looked at the vast expanse of white around them. Below the ship were layers of clouds.
These clouds actually supported the ship, preventing it from falling.
One must know that this was ten thousand meters high. These clouds were so thick and buoyant, it was incredible.
"Wow, such white clouds, are we in the sky?"
Gaenie looked at the white clouds outside and said excitedly.
"This is the sky, we've come to the sky!"
Drake said happily.
"Let's go, sail that way, Sky Island is over there."
Nox used his Kenbunshoku Haki to sense, and quickly detected an island over there.
The crew sailed in the direction Nox pointed, and soon saw an island ahead.
"Not good, such a large ship, it's from the Sea!"
On Jaya Island, the patrolling God Squad personnel discovered Nox's ship and immediately reported it to the Sky Island's God, Gan Fall.
"People from the Sea are here again? I must go and see!"
Gan Fall frowned as he looked at his subordinate's report, then immediately went to the front of Jaya Island.
"Huh, the people on Sky Island actually have wings, are they angels?"
Esdeath looked at the people standing in front of Jaya Island with a curious expression and asked.
After all, the assimilation stories she used to read all said that people with white wings on their backs and wearing white clothes were angels.
"No, no, little girl, we are not angels, we are Sky Island residents, and our wings cannot fly."
Looking at Esdeath's cute appearance, Gan Fall explained with a smile.
"We are people from the Sea, visiting Sky Island for the first time, and we want to have some fun here. You shouldn't mind, right?"
Nox jumped off the ship and stood in front of Gan Fall, smiling.
But the Haoshoku Haki on his body had already leaked out, causing the members of the God's Guard next to Gan Fall to involuntarily fall down.
Nox controlled the intensity of his Haoshoku Haki, not making them faint, but merely making them unable to bear the pressure and fall to the ground.
"Of, of course, I don't mind!!"
Gan Fall said with trembling legs. From this person, he felt a strong killing intent.
If he dared to say no, he would probably lose his head.
"That's good. However, we are not bad people and will not disrupt the peace here."
Seeing that the deterrence was successful, Nox smiled slightly and retracted his Haoshoku Haki.
"Father, Father, it's so beautiful here, we want to go play."
Esdeath looked at everything on Sky Island, full of curiosity.
"Father, Father, we want to go too."
Rhea and the other little ones also jumped off the ship and clung to Nox.
"Lesley, Athena, you take these little ones to play, and take ten million Berries with you. Buy anything interesting you see."
Nox said with a smile.
"Esdeath, you come with Mama, Mama will take you to play."
Lesley walked out of the ship's cabin with a stack of Berries and said.
"Mama, Mama!!"
Hearing Lesley say that, Esdeath and the others immediately stopped bothering Nox and turned to run towards Lesley.
"Bullet, Karoo, you go protect them."
Nox said.
"Yes, Captain!"
Upon hearing this, Bullet and Karoo immediately followed Lesley and the others.
"Honored guests, please rest assured, on Sky Island, it is absolutely peaceful, and we will also protect their safety."
Gan Fall's eyes lit up immediately after seeing the stack of Berries in Lesley's hand.
He hadn't expected these people from the Sea to be so rich. Now he was already thinking about how to promote the special products of Sky Island.
"Okay, go!"
Nox nodded.
"Honored guests, I am the ruler of Sky Island, my name is Gan Fall. I will be your guide from now on."
Gan Fall followed Lesley and the others with a smile.
"Uncle, is there anything fun here?"
Gaenie asked curiously.
"Our Sky Island has a variety of dials. Look, this is a Tone Dial. When opened, it can release beautiful music."
Gan Fall took out a Tone Dial and opened it. Instantly, the soft sound singing the song made Esdeath and the others very happy.
"Mama, Mama, I want it, I want this Tone Dial."
Esdeath said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, since you like it, we'll buy it."
Lesley said with a smile, as long as the child liked it.
"Also, this is a Flame Dial, which can emit intense flames, this is an Impact Dial, which can emit a strong impact, this is..."
Gan Fall smiled and took out all sorts of dials.
And Rhea and the others had no resistance to these novel dials at all. Anyway, as long as they hadn't seen it before, they bought it.
Lesley even bought them a large pile directly, so they wouldn't be without them if they broke later.
Because of this, Gan Fall became even more excited, constantly promoting the various special products on Sky Island.
Nox and his group stayed on Sky Island for a few days. During these few days, Nox explored all of Jaya Island and successfully located the Gold City.
"Nox, is this the Gold City?"
Shakky looked at the ancient city before them. This city was full of the marks of time.
The various buildings were covered in thick dust and wall bricks. It looked like nothing more than an ordinary ancient city. Where was the Gold City?
