Chapter 319: The Straw Hats Arrive At the Sky Island
Seven thousand meters above the blue sea!
"Ahahaha... We're here!"
"This is Sky Island!!"
"I can't believe it; there are really floating islands in the sky!"
"Sky Island is so beautiful!"
"Usopp, I'm not dreaming!"
"The sea is so amazing!"
The Straw Hat Pirates looked at the vast expanse of white sea clouds.
They all opened their mouths in excitement and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration!
Luffy was already jumping up and down with excitement.
Even Robin, who has always been quiet, was also amazed by the scenery of Sky Island!
Soon after, the Going Merry passed through the Gate of Heaven, and the Straw Hat Pirates officially entered the Whte-White Sea, 10,000 meters above the blue sea, the real Sky Island!
"God... angel?!"
After passing through the Gate of Heaven, they could already see the buildings of Sky Island.
Arina, the navigator of the Straw Hats Pirates, looked through the telescope and was surprised to see the Skypieans with white wings!
"Where, where, let me see!"
Sanji's eyes were filled with stars, and he looked over excitedly, muttering: "Miss Angel... Miss Angel"
But when he picked up the monocular, what appeared in front of him was a man with a fierce face and a pair of wings behind him.
"Bang! Bang!"
"I was too naive!" Sanji knelt on the deck and cried in disappointment while banging the deck.
When the Going Merry approached, a group of neatly arranged troops uniformly wearing white berets on their head could already be seen.
"Hasuo~ Pirates of Sea, you have entered the realm of God, tell us your purpose!"
McKinley, the police force captain, looked at the Straw Hat Pirates on alert.
"Please don't get me wrong, we don't mean any harm!" Arina quickly explained.
"God?" Zoro looked around coldly.
"If it's the God of Love, I can accept it," Sanji said calmly while lighting a cigarette.
Obviously, they are not interested in the so-called God!
"Ahahaha... What an interesting island! I can smell the adventure." Luffy nervously sat on the railing and clapped his hands while laughing.
"As long as you don't cause trouble, you are welcome to come here!"
McKinley made a welcoming gesture and said that Sky Island does not exclude people from the sea.
After the white berets left, Luffy couldn't wait to jump off the boat and run to Angel Island.
(T/N: White Berets = God's Guards)
"Luffy, wait!"
"Luffy..."
"Idiot, where are you going?"
"Wait for us!!"
Zoro, Arina, Sanji, and others jumped off the Going Merry one after another.
Straw Hat Pirates visited Angel Island under the curious eyes of Sky Island residents.
"Are you from Sea?"
A pleasant voice came curiously.
"Ah~angel!!” Sanji's eyes immediately turned into heart shapes, and he shouted excitedly.
"Yes, you are?" Arina asked while looking at the person in front of her.
"My name is Conis, and I welcome you to Angel Island." Conis, who was carrying a harp, smiled softly, which made Sanji's heart beat wildly!
"My name is Luffy, and I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
Luffy showed his iconic smile!
"My name is Arina; please give me your advice!"
“I’m Nico Robin.”
"Zoro!"
"I'm Usopp!
"My name is Chopper!"
"Ah, beautiful angel, I am the knight sent by god for you!"
"Boom...!"
"Sorry about this guy." Zoro kicked Sanji away and said apologetically.
"Do people from the sea come here often? I don't think you are surprised at all!" Robin asked curiously.
"No! No one from sea has been here for many years. In the past, people from the sea had to pay one billion Extol per person to enter the gate of heaven. But since the arrival of God, this has been abolish."
Conis smiled and said: "We still know something about Sea, because our god comes from Sea!"
"What!!"
Luffy and the others all looked at Conis in surprise, and only Zoro remained calm at this moment.
"And our God is also a pirate!"
"Pirate!" Robin's eyes flashed, and she said: "Does your god oppress the citizens of Sky Island?"
"No! God brings peace." Conis said with reverence.
"Then why didn't we see any pirates... No, people from the sea?" Arina looked around and asked.
"They live in the Island of the Gods: The upper yard!"
"Who's pirate group is it?" Robin asks about the key point.
"There!"
Conis pointed to a flag at the top of Angel Island.
A flag of a mildly frowning skull with upward-curving horns slowly flutters in the wind while exuding great majesty!
"That's the flag of our God's pirate group!"
"That...!" Robin's pupils shrank, with a look of fear in her eyes.
"Robin?" Luffy and others looked at Robin strangely.
"No... It can't be wrong! The flag with the Oni's horns and demonic fangs can only be that legendary pirate group!"
Robin said word for word: "The Beast Pirate!"
"The strongest pirate group in the world!"
"The strongest pirate group in the world? Robin, is this not a bit too exaggerated?!"
Arina's eyes widened in disbelief. On the sea, there were as many powerful pirate groups as stars. Which pirate group dared to be called the strongest?
"It's not an exaggeration at all!" Robin said seriously: "In the sea, there are indeed countless pirate groups, but there are only four pirate groups who rule the New World like kings and are called emperors of the sea!"
"The Beasts Pirates are recognized as the leader of the four emperors and known as the strongest pirate group in the sea!"
"Their captain single-handedly defeated the other emperor of the sea, Whitebeard! Moreover, during their fight, Roger and Redfield suddenly appear and join forces with Whitebeard, but they are still defeated in the end!"
"He even killed an admiral and Fleet Admiral, launched a war against Marine Headquarters, and won the war!!"
"Their captain even visited the Mary Geoise that no one dared to set foot on, rescued countless slaves, and singled out the World Government!"
"A few years ago, just one calamity was dispatched, and the Vinsmoke Family that once ruled the North Blue was wiped out!"
Robin's understanding of the sea is not comparable to that of newbies like them.
But when she finished saying this, Sanji, who had just looked like a pig, suddenly turned gloomy.
Conis listened attentively on the sidelines. Although she had heard people from the Island of Gods say how powerful gods were, she still felt sincerely proud when she heard it from other pirates!
"Ah, it sounds so scary!!" Usopp and Chopper hugged each other tremblingly.
"Hehe~ In other words, I have to defeat them before I can become the Pirate King, right?"
Luffy wasn't scared at all but instead grinned happily.
"Robin, who is the captain of that pirate group you are talking about?"
Robin's eyes were full of awe, and he said extremely seriously: "The Kaishu, the beast!! He is also called by the sea as-"
"The strongest monster in the world!!!"
