Chapter 406 Generals and Alternates
"Wow! Sky Island actually exists?
A ship that can fly in the sky? This is too amazing! This guy named Yakumo Shiro!
In the first half of the Grand Line, a ship flying a pirate flag is sailing on its own. If you are familiar with the news, you will find that this is the Straw Hat Pirates, the supernova who escaped from the navy hero Garp and is now becoming famous.
At this moment, after seeing the island cloud ship launched by Yakumo Shiro and the rumored sky island chart in the newspaper, Luffy couldn't help but shout in surprise. Due to excessive excitement, there were even stars twinkling in his eyes.
"Hey everyone! Let's go to Sky Island? How about that? It must be a very interesting island!
I'm really curious about what the barbecue on Sky Island tastes like."
Luffy's voice echoed in their ears, and the other four frowned when they heard it.
Let's not talk about how to get on Sky Island. You have to know that they are now being hunted by the navy, and because the initial bounty exceeded 100 million berries, there are many pirates who want to make a name for themselves by stepping on them and come to cause trouble every now and then.
Although there are a lot of supplies on the pirates' ship, there are many big eaters on board. Considering that the ship has not landed on the island to replenish supplies for two weeks, if this continues, I am afraid that everyone on the ship will have to become a fishing master and rely on fishing to fill their stomachs every day.
"Don't be too anxious, Luffy! We have to go to Sky Island eventually. I'm also curious about what kind of fish there are, but the most urgent thing is to replenish supplies first, right?
Besides, we all sustained some injuries in our battle with Mr. Garp. If we don't want to leave any hidden dangers, we need to find a doctor!"
Sanji lit a cigarette and reminded calmly.
"Yes, according to the record pointer, the next island is not far away. According to the information provided by Mr. Crocus, it should be a relatively primitive island with no human settlement, but there are many wild animals..."
Kuina said from the side that as the only woman in the team, she had to shoulder a heavy responsibility.
"Also, there's a major medical powerhouse in the nearby waters. We can see if we can recruit an outstanding doctor there. Although we haven't encountered any formidable opponents before, we are already a high threat in the eyes of the navy. Maybe they'll send some tough guys next time.
But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, we're pirates. From the moment we set sail, we're destined to face the navy's pursuit."
Hearing this, Luffy immediately put away the excitement on his face, and instead propped up his chin and thought "seriously".
However, just when everyone was surprised at the other party's reaction, a few seconds later, Luffy opened his eyes seriously and said with an expression that it was true.
"Okay! In that case, let's get going. For the barbecue!"
"And a doctor!"
--------
Meanwhile, Navy Headquarters.
"After all these years of silence, are there finally some new moves? Those guys from the New World!"
Raising his hand, he burned the freshly printed newspaper to ashes and said with a serious expression.
"There have been many pirates roaming the first half of the world over the years, some of whom have even mastered Haki. Now, they've launched an aerial ship like this...
Is that guy Yakumo Shiro finally planning to harvest these cannon fodder? Or is he going to use these guys to launch a new operation?
On the side, Kuzan analyzed calmly.
"In any case, if he really promotes such a ship, then the Red Earth Continent will no longer be the only natural barrier that can stop the pirates from running rampant. It will be an era even more chaotic than before. From land, sea, and even the sky, they will all become battlefields!
This kind of thing, I can't just sit back and watch!"
Next to Kuzan, a man with short black hair, wearing a purple kimono and leaning on a wooden staff said seriously. Even though he was still a "newcomer" in the eyes of the navy, no one refuted his words.
This is because the opponent's monstrous strength has fully proved his status as a candidate for admiral. He can even be called - Admiral "Fujitora"!
"Ah, ah, ah~ As expected, Mr. Yixiao is still so dedicated and conscientious! This puts my mind at ease. The World Government's air force deployment is imminent, and with those divine knights leading the team, I'm sure the pressure on the navy will be reduced a lot, right?
It seems like I'll be able to leave work on time more often in the future!"
Seeing this, Borsalino couldn't help but say with a look of relief, but the other party's unremarkable look aroused the dissatisfaction of another man with darker skin.
"Hey, hey, hey! Senior Kizaru, can you be more motivated like Mr. Sakaski?
After all, the pirates who can reach Sky Island are still a minority, and we still have to intercept the vast majority of pirates!"
The general candidate, who was given the title of "Green Bull"—Aramaki shouted at the top of his lungs, turning his gaze towards Sakaski.
"The Holy Land is absolutely sacred! Do mere pirates really think they can climb over the heads of the Celestial Dragons? That's simply wishful thinking!
I don't need Mr. Sakaski's volcanic meteors. My forest alone can pull these ignorant fools from the sky to the bottom of the sea!
There hasn't been any major action since I joined the navy, so let me act together with Yixiao this time!
With his gravity blessing, I want to see who can successfully take off!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked up at Fujitora, who had a calm expression, only to see him nod in agreement.
"These pirates have already caused trouble in the first half of the war, and now they are even dreaming of escaping to the New World to join the main criminals. I will never allow this!
Rest assured, everyone! I will show them the true force of gravity! I will never let anyone successfully cross the Red Earth Continent!
The gravity fruit is almost a natural restraint on ships in the air. If you want to stop the pirates from taking off with the force that can pull down the falling meteors, it can be said to be very simple.
With Fujitora and Green Bull volunteering, everyone has become fully confident in how to deal with Yakumo Haku's sudden "move". Now they just have to wait and see how the other party will push this process forward, so that they can launch the next blocking action.
"Speaking of which, are there some incredible newcomers in the East Sea? Just five of them managed to escape Mr. Garp's clutches, all carrying hefty bounties!
A rookie can be on the same level as some veterans. I don't believe that he hasn't cultivated the domineering spirit.
However, possessing such impressive strength at such a young age, he will probably become a considerable threat in the future!"
At this time, Chatun suddenly added that after not seeing him for many years, he had unknowingly shed his former unruly attitude similar to Kizaru, and replaced it with a thoughtful and determined candidate for the general.
Such an astonishing change is welcomed by everyone, but only he himself knows how heartbreaking the realization behind it is - faced with the betrayal of a loved one, even the most infatuated person will wake up from it, even if that may not be her intention.
"You mean... the group flying the strange-looking pirate flag? They were able to escape from Mr. Garp's clutches, which is truly amazing. And they're all from the East China Sea. I'm really curious how such newcomers could emerge from that weakest sea."
"They're just newbies. The best option is to nip them in the bud before they grow up!"
"And they're so brazen the moment they leave the sea. Presumably, their goal is also to reach the New World. If that's the case, I'll leave them to you. Yixiao, Huangmu, and all those who attempt to escape punishment, let them perish at the bottom of the sea!"
