One Piece: The Celestial Dragons' Self-Cultivation

What should Blake do?

Moreover, the exact mechanism behind Im's immortality is still unclear.

Jabba seemed to have found the weakness of the Knights of God, but Somaz's resurrection speed was only slower; he did not actually die.

Whether Im's immortality is the same as that of the Knights of God remains unknown.

Therefore, even if Black's strength really improves to the point where he can easily kill an admiral, he still needs to witness Im make a move in person.

At the very least, we need to figure out all of the opponent's abilities and find a way to counter their immortality.

The person who gets Im to take action cannot be too weak, nor can the number of people be too small.

If it's just about being instantly defeated like Sabo, then there's no point in learning from it.

Blake needs someone who can fight Im to a standstill, and even inflict effective damage on him.

Looking at everyone on the sea, only the revolutionary army had the ability and the reason to do so.

I choose you—Monkey D. Dragon!

How can an organization determined to overthrow the World Government not fight Lord Im?

What's even more interesting is that the dragon was unaware of Im's existence.

Before Sabo invaded Mary Geoise, Dragon always thought that the Revolutionary Army's greatest enemy was the Knights of God.

If he were confident enough to deal with the Knights of God, he might dare to attack Mary Geoise.

Once we provoke Im, it won't be so easy for him to just say he won't fight anymore.

Therefore, Black now needs to build up the conflict between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government, so that they can be the first pioneers.

But thinking about it this way, it seems better to send someone into the revolutionary army?

If the undercover agent's position is high enough, it might even be able to influence the timing of the Revolutionary Army's invasion of Mary Geoise.

Blake's gaze unconsciously drifted to Kella, and he quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no!"

Koala's underlying character is kind, and such a person is prone to causing problems if he becomes an undercover agent in the Revolutionary Army.

Not to mention Kerr, even undercover police officers often experience tremendous psychological pressure when closing in on their targets.

He developed serious psychological problems after returning to the country.

Even undercover agents who are good at dealing with evil are like this, so it's really not easy for Vergo to remain loyal for more than ten years.

"Perhaps we can try a different approach; we just need to get the key information through."

Chapter 69 A Bold Idea

The salty sea breeze swept across the dock, carrying fine sand and clouds. Blake smoothed his white stand-up collar, which had been lifted by the air currents, and tapped his sapphire-encrusted scepter on the quartz floor with a clear sound.

Following the path to the western summit, the Temple once again arrived at a floating island.

The architectural style here is completely different from other sky islands, and even quite different from that of Qinghai.

Rather than calling this a sky island, it's more like Vegapunk's warhead island.

However, the technological creations here are dark in color and carry a heavy historical atmosphere.

The city is made up of gray-white stone buildings, with wing-shaped symbols carved all over the walls.

"Your Highness, something seems amiss here."

Mandy gripped the hilt of her sword, standing beside Blake, watching warily as the Sky Islanders hurried toward them.

One of them approached, his expression unfriendly:

“Bika does not welcome outsiders, please leave!”

Blake raised an eyebrow; the commanding tone made him somewhat uncomfortable.

However, upon hearing that this was Bika, he couldn't help but look around at his surroundings:

"Is this Bika? This is quite unexpected."

Blake pulled out the golden pistol from his pocket and fired it with a bang—

A bloody hole appeared on the forehead of the person who had entered, and he collapsed to the ground.

This scene not only shocked the Sky Islanders around them, but even Mandy, who was standing nearby, was somewhat surprised.

Blake, however, paid no attention to the expressions of these people, and instead gave instructions to the CP behind him:

"Get them out of my sight."

The two CPs immediately stepped forward, each capable of sending a Sky Island person flying with a single punch or kick.

Blake is not usually a person who enjoys killing, but he will not let others provoke him.

The kingdom of giants, Degard, could simply say they don't welcome you.

After all, if a real fight broke out, without Blake's intervention, the people on the Temple wouldn't be enough to defeat a single tribe from the Giant Kingdom.

Why shouldn't you, a Birka who could destroy even Enel, welcome me?

However, Bica's architectural style is both unexpected and expected.

Originally, Black thought that Birka's style should be similar to the sky island that appeared in the original work.

But upon closer reflection, this kind of tech-savvy city seems to make sense.

This story begins more than 1,100 years ago.

The moon people came to Earth and made trade with kings in various places.

The king provided slaves to help the moon people mine gold.

The Moon People provided the kings with advanced technology.

These technologies from the moon propelled Earth onto the path of civilization at that time.

However, the technological gap between the two sides was simply too great, which propelled Earth from a hunting civilization to an industrial civilization in one leap.

This led to the emergence of a new type of energy source—the Holy Mother's Flame.

This thing can be used as both an energy source and a weapon.

Foolish humans lost control, and a great war broke out between the kingdoms.

At this time, the suffering slaves began to pray to nature.

Thus, Devil Fruits appeared, giving slaves the power to rebel.

When the lunar inhabitants saw that even Earth's nature was angry, they immediately realized that something was wrong and prepared to flee.

He flew towards the moon in a spaceship just like Enel's.

The "God of Earth" was furious.

You lunar people are the instigators!

Now that things have turned out like this, you think you can just pack up and leave?

So the god of the earth raised up the red earth continent, which blocked the moon people.

It also divided the land into islands of varying sizes.

Didn't you two start fighting because you developed too fast and had too much contact?

Then let's stop developing this business and stop communicating with each other.

He sought to achieve lasting peace by severing all ties between kingdoms.

Some of the Moon People who remained were left on the Red Earth and became the Lunarians.

The other group was separated and settled on the Sky Island, becoming Sky Islanders.

Judging from Bika's situation, it should have inherited a large part of the lunar technology, but for some unknown reason, it was gradually lost.

While Blake was still thinking, the two CP agents had finished the battle and knelt down in front of Blake to report back.

Blake waved his hand:

"Alright, you all stay here and guard the ships. I'm going to check on the island."

“But, Lord Black…”

The older couple hesitated:

“These lowly people have no sense of respect. What if they offend you?”

Blake glanced at them:

"With your meager skills, you're no match for my slaves. What use are you two?"

"Get back to the ship right now!"

The CP agent hesitated for a moment, but ultimately obediently stepped aside.

Now that he knew this was Bica, Blake had important things to do, so why would he bring two cameras with him?

When the barbarians were recruited, there was an entire kingdom as witnesses.

People on the high seas might not know, but the higher-ups in the World Government certainly would know that Aramu was Black's subordinate.

Therefore, Huangmu can only be responsible for some of the more visible tasks.

Apart from Urouge and Bege, the other Supernovas are too young.

Black doesn't understand Urouge's personality, and it's uncertain whether Urouge, as a Sky Island native, would work for the Celestial Dragons.

Becky is a typical ambitious person; important matters cannot be entrusted to him.

So Black decided to find Enel before he even arrived in Birka.

Enel is 18 years old this year and has quite good talent, at least in terms of his high level of Observation Haki.

The other person's personality has both an arrogant side and a cowardly side, making them a relatively easy person to control.

Black was going to hand over some shady work to Enel.

As Perona led the group into the harbor, she bent down to pick up some metal scraps from the ground, but Robin grabbed her arm.

"Don't touch it, it might be the remains of an ancient civilization."

Black's gaze fell on the half-buried mechanical device at the end of the street, and he began to think about the possible location of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

There's no need to rush to find Enel. He's a living person; you can easily find him with your Observation Haki.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is just a fruit, so you can't use Observation Haki to search for it; you can only follow clues.

As can be seen from the dialogue in the original work, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit has been missing from the sea for more than three hundred years.

Therefore, after the death of its previous user, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit may have been reborn in some corner of Birka and hidden for more than three hundred years.

Considering Enel's experience of being ostracized during his time in Birka, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit must be hidden in a remote and secluded place.

But Bika is just a floating island, not very large. Is there any place that could remain unnoticed for three hundred years?

Imagine the many conditions that Enel obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in the original story—

First, this place must be secluded and remote, so that even the most curious and mischievous child wouldn't venture here.

Only then can it be guaranteed that no one will set foot here for three hundred years.

Secondly, it cannot be a restricted area that is explicitly prohibited, otherwise Enel would not be able to enter.

Third, considering Enel's strength before he obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the location where the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was stored would not be in great danger.

Blake glanced at Perona, a bold idea forming in his mind:

"How about... we leave her in Bika for a while and see if there's anywhere she hasn't gone?"

Chapter 70: I'm starting to feel more and more like a leader.

Leaving Perona behind was just a joke; Blake certainly wouldn't do that.

He wandered around the island, trying to find a similar place.

Birka is much smaller than the sky islands in the original story, so it's not difficult to walk around it.
