The current Mogu Town is no longer the base of those failed pirates in previous lives, but just an ordinary island.
This is good news. Dawn doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble like when Luffy and others went there later, where the entire island would be a gathering place for pirates.
And Dawn had no plans to stay on the island. After Dawn repeatedly assured him that he was just "traveling" and not going to fight or "do trouble", Adolf reluctantly agreed.
The voyage seemed unusually peaceful.
Perhaps it was because Yuchimura had been escorting a ship full of "tempting" things to fish in the previous few days, so he didn't encounter any pirates along the way.
This was also an important reason why Adolf was persuaded. After all, he also knew the strength of the naval fleet escorting the grain.
The lieutenant admiral was secretly guarding, and in addition to providing protection, his only task was to ensure that he had enough speed to suppress the pirates who attacked the fleet for profit in the first half.
Generally speaking, a lieutenant general would not do this kind of "cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers" task.
After all, as the most solid force in the navy, the targets they face are all vicious pirates. Cleaning up such cannon fodder is simply like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, and it is not conducive to the training of the lower-level soldiers.
But with the coming of the great pirate era, the navy's manpower was insufficient to face the entire world, and they wished they could split each person in half.
In this environment, in order to complete a task, it has become normal to do other things while on the way.
Basically, most capable people will set a main task and then complete some smaller tasks along the way.
The fleet escorting food and supplies will attract many pirates, after all, the news is spread by the navy itself.
The purpose is to attract the greedy pirates to swarm in so that the vice admiral can clean them up in one go. The purpose of doing this is to save efficiency.
Although this may result in matters not being handled perfectly, and the fleet may be attacked, resulting in damage to food supplies, but in extraordinary times extraordinary measures must be taken, and a quick and decisive cut will suffice, and a slight loss is within the acceptable range.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Dawn. Perhaps it just makes him feel calmer on his journey to Gaya Island.
Looking at the island getting closer and closer, Dawn's mood couldn't help but become excited.
Sky island.
This is an island unique to the pirate world.
The clouds that are located in the sky ten thousand meters above and can form a solid structure for people to stand on, as well as the unique creatures living in the White Sea and the unique dishes made from them, all make Dawn delighted.
Of course, the main purpose of coming here is to recruit partners, but if Enel has now become a stubborn middle school boy, then Dawn can only say sorry.
Eneel also has enough talent for the development of his observation Haki. If he is taught by the Haki system, his observation Haki might reach the monster level of Fujitora and Katakuri.
If there was someone to guide him, then Enelu would definitely not be confined to a corner, and his own strength would not have remained at a standstill after becoming invincible on Sky Island.
After realizing how insignificant he is, how will Enelu grow?
Dawn is full of expectations for this, but the premise of all this depends on whether he can become his partner.
Chapter 86 Bai Hai
Above the vast ocean, the weather on the Grand Route is definitely the most casual painter. The pictures presented will be different depending on the mood.
Sometimes the sun is shining, sometimes it is gentle, but in a blink of an eye it will be overcast, with dark clouds covering the entire sky.
Or it may start out sunny and calm, but in the blink of an eye lightning may cover the entire sky, and a storm may throw the sea into a rage.
And this is the Grand Line. If we personify the Grand Line, then as a painter, the Grand Line is absolutely fickle and cannot be more fickle, a fellow as unpredictable as a mental patient.
As for the New World...
It can only be said that the two sides are not on the same level at all. If the Grand Line is a neurotic and fickle painter, then the New World is a crazy anti-physicist.
At this moment, the weather and other things have nothing to do with Dawn, because Dawn has already set foot on the land of Gaya Island, which is the land of Mogu Town.
After sending Adolf off to sell Alabasta's goods to Gaya Island, Dawn slipped away despite Adolf's objections.
Just kidding, if Adolf knew that we were going to the "unrealistic" sky island, Dawn would probably have an extra pendant on his leg - the kind that would refuse to let us go no matter what.
But before leaving, Dawn still took a Den Den Mushi with him so that he could report his safety.
Above the boundless sea, Dwayne was jumping into the air. If someone could see, they would find that a translucent "square staircase" had formed under Dwayne's feet.
However, as the Maker rose, a steady stream of rising stairs formed under Dawn's feet, and as Dawn rose higher and higher, the stairs became higher and higher from the sea surface.
The Sky Island exists in the White Sea above the White Sea 7000 meters above the sky, and the White Sea is meters high. Dawn is naturally well prepared for this, with plenty of food in the huge backpack behind him.
As for why it is possible to create floating steps but not directly control them to fly?
The only answer is that it is too physically demanding.
After continuous attempts, Dawn has also gained a significant understanding and improvement in the development of the "air system", and can even control it to float in the air for flying.
But if Dawn were to be carried up with it, it would be too energy-consuming, so Dawn would only use it in an emergency during a battle.
As for other times, we usually just make temporary fixed blocks and use them as fulcrums for changing direction in the air.
Of course, although Moon Step also has this effect, the Moon Step that Dwayne has mastered in the past two years is only half-baked. With this ability, he uses Moon Step more as a backup, and spends the rest of his time developing other physical skills or abilities.
As for this "sky ladder", it is also a stable air-staying ability developed by Dawn in order to reach the sky island.
The empty ladder he made was equivalent to a temporary item with a time limit, but after being made, this item would "float" fixedly above the height at which it was made.
But if you want to control your own weight and fly upwards, the physical strength consumed will gradually increase.
Nowadays, although Dawn's physical strength is far superior to that of his peers, it is still a bit unrealistic for him to be able to fly to a sky island of 10,000 meters in a pretentious manner by "flying with a sword".
Fortunately, after development, the energy consumed by staying in the air is very small, which is enough for Dwayne to maintain the airborne state and recover his energy at the same time.
With this stupid method, Dawn had to go up slowly "step by step".
Keep jumping to get higher, then create enough air blocks in the air to land and keep rising.
When they rose to two thousand meters, Dawn stopped and made a large block to sit on and rest.
Dawn sat down, drank a sip of water, then sat on the transparent empty brick and looked down.
You can see Gaya Island not far away in the vast sea, sitting on the blue "background wall" like a small puzzle piece.
Above the sky, Dawn looked at Gaya Island which was missing half of its head, and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of this world.
You know, when Gaya Island was complete before, the entire island was in the shape of a skull. Even though only half of it is left now, Dawn is still curious.
Is it the result of the miraculous natural formation of this world, or is it the advanced technology from some distant and unknown time?
Sitting in the air didn’t frighten Dawn at all. He even wanted to try bungee jumping…
Of course, if you want to bungee jump, you must wait until you come back, and you must also be prepared for precautions.
After all, in the case of falling at a very high speed, even if Dawn could create air blocks on the left and right sides to "jump back and forth" to slow down his speed, Dawn was not prepared to take the risk.
If I make a mistake and fall to my death, wouldn't that be a disgrace to my army? But resisting the impact of the aura can be used as a means of slowing down. Let's try it when we come back?
Shaking his head, Dawn put aside these divergent thoughts, broke off some dried meat from his backpack and put it into his mouth, then put the backpack on his back and continued to move forward.
With Dawn's usual devilish training and his extraordinary physique, he reached an altitude of five or six thousand meters in less than half a day.
As for stopping now to adapt to the "altitude sickness", Dawn has not forgotten the scene in his previous life when Luffy and others were beaten by the miscellaneous soldiers after going up.
Although he could also use his own abilities to control the air, constantly adapting to harsh environments was also a form of practice that could enhance his body's adaptability, so Dwayne just let it go.
It has to be said that the people in the pirate world are indeed physically strong, at least they have a strong ability to adapt. Dawn just casually replenished some water and food, and he felt that he had adapted to his previous weakness.
Dawn felt like he was in a dream as he watched the clouds floating around him.
Although people in previous lives were able to fly in the sky with the help of tools such as airplanes, they had never truly conquered the sky, at least no one had ever been able to live high in the sky.
But in this world, there is a slight possibility. As he continues to rise, Dawn now sees the white sea visible to the naked eye slowly approaching.
It would be a lie to say that I am not excited to have reached this point. No matter what, arriving here is like entering an island in the sky.
Although Dawn is a devil fruit user, he did not become afraid of water after eating the "Golden Finger" fruit.
So other people with special abilities might have to take a detour and then go to the edge of the White Sea, but Dawn just had to swim directly up.
The White Sea is a navigable sea formed by "sea clouds" in the cumulus clouds at an altitude of 7,000 meters. It is located high in the sky and is not as close to the ground as the sea.
Here, although the White Sea also has the word "sea" in its name, it is indeed completely suspended in the air, floating in the air.
If you fall down, then after sinking to the bottom of the sea, it will be like bungee jumping at a height of seven thousand meters.
It's exciting to think about!
Chapter 87: The Gate of Heaven [ more subscriptions required]
People's emotions come from self-awareness.
When a shocking and common-sense-breaking scene appears before people's eyes, their inner cognition will be unconsciously impacted, causing shock and excitement.
In the past life, there were many mountaineering enthusiasts, but why did they like mountaineering? Why did they even risk their lives just to climb the world's highest peak?
Although nowadays all you need to climb the world's highest peak is money and training, and the danger is far less than before, what about in the past?
The corpses that fell down along the way for various reasons did not stop people's enthusiasm.
Along the way, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties. Low temperature and lack of oxygen are inevitable. The complex terrain and ice and snow winds are as unpredictable as a fickle woman.
Not to mention a series of problems such as altitude sickness, supplies and psychological pressure.
Even though there are safe checkpoints set up along the way, you can still see many bodies buried here.
Some of the bodies were difficult to collect because of their strange locations, and most of the owners of the bodies were climbers who died on the way for various reasons.
But people have never been defeated by such difficulties. All those who choose to climb it have only one purpose, which is even the most primitive desire: to conquer it and then survive!
And the moment you reach the summit, the scenery you see and the sense of conquest you feel will be unforgettable for the rest of your life. Whenever you think of it, you will tremble all over and recall the emotion you felt at that time.
At this moment, Dawn had already touched the white ocean floating above the sky.
And in the white sea, countless lives exist.
Many of these lives were brought here by upwelling ocean currents, but life is highly adaptable. After countless years, they began to evolve into creatures unique to the White Sea.
The white ocean floated in the air and spread to who knows where. Seeing such a scene, Dawn could no longer contain himself.
Although he had seen too many stunning sights in this world, when Dawn used his ability to create a foothold and stood on the white ocean, he couldn't help but sigh.
After all, men are children who never grow up. There is always an adventurous gene in their bones that goes deep into their bones like poison, but they are reluctant to get rid of it.
"This is the White Sea. It's incredible. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a work of nature!"
White, everywhere you look is endless white.
White is the eternal theme here, forming a white ocean before your eyes.
