To be honest, Bellamy is a ruthless guy who can enter the Sky Island from here.
The fog ahead gradually thinned out.
Xia Zheteng also saw hope.
Coming out of the fog, there is a four-ring island in front of us.
Three huge islands formed a triangle, surrounding an island in the middle.
The reason why you can see the island in the middle is because the huge trees on the island are too tall. When you look up, you can't see the top at a glance.
This is going straight to the sky, right?
"It's so tall. Could this tree be the sacred tree Adam? No, Adam should be in the New World, right?"
Xia Zheteng was thinking, a little dazed.
"This is certainly not the sacred tree Adam, this is just us guarding the tall trees, the West."
Someone? Xia Zheteng was also startled. He turned around and saw that there was indeed a person, but Xia Zheteng only saw a big head.
The man's body was in the water, with only his head exposed.
He was actually swimming, with only his head sticking out of the water.
However, Xia Zheteng can be sure that this guy should be a giant.
Because that face is really big, almost as tall as a person.
Are there giants in the West Sea?
Chapter 150: Giant Tree West Heaven
"It's been a long time since I saw anyone coming in from outside. What a rare guest." said the giant.
The other party did not show any hostility, so Xia Zheteng did not take any action.
Besides, this giant is obviously a resident of the island. Maybe I can find out about the situation here through him.
"Hello, my name is Xia Zheteng."
The name Xia Zheteng, when placed on the sea, can scare some people, whether they are pirates or the revolutionary army.
After all, those who become famous among the Navy Vice Admirals don’t get that title for nothing.
But it was completely useless to put it here. The other party didn't even know his name and just said hello.
Xia Zheteng rowed the boat towards the shore.
"Let me help you."
The giant stretched out his hand, pushed the boat, and headed towards the shore. The speed was fast. After all, the giant completed almost half of the journey with one kick of the water.
They soon reached the shore. After Xia Zheteng got ashore, the giant walked out of the sea.
And in his hand, he was holding a fish, a swordfish.
Xia Zheteng looked up at the giant, who was about 20 meters tall, and it seemed very difficult for him to raise his head.
"Welcome to Xihuan Island, my friend, would you like to come and visit my village?"
Although he was huge, he seemed quite friendly.
Xia Zheteng thought about it and accepted the other party's kindness.
This is a village of giants. It's a good opportunity to go over and chat with them and see where they come from.
Following the giant forward, Xia Zheteng had to speed up to keep up with the other party's normal movement speed.
After walking on the island for about ten minutes, a large village appeared in front of us.
It is obvious that there are only a few hundred households in the village. The reason why it is big is that the houses here are big, the distances between them are large, and everything is big.
"Oh, Obila, did you catch any fish?"
"Haha, that's for sure. When I attack, do I ever come up empty-handed?" The giant Obiara beside him laughed. "By the way, I also brought a very special friend with me."
As he spoke, Obi glanced to the side.
The giants all lowered their heads to see Xia Zheteng below.
"Oh, it's the human race from outside. It's really rare. It seems that someone came here more than ten years ago. In the past ten years, no one has come here at all."
Xia Zheteng thought about it and realized that more than ten years ago, that should have been Roger's team.
To be honest, being stared at by a dozen giants does feel oppressive.
"Don't be afraid, we are very friendly." Obila said with a smile, "I invite you to visit my home."
Xia Zheteng was not afraid. Although the giants were very powerful, Xia Zheteng was not weak either. If a fight really broke out, the people in this village might not be his opponents.
It’s just that the other person’s height is really stressful.
Following Obila inside, Xia Zheteng felt that the giants in this village were indeed friendly.
All the way to Obila's house, for Xia Zheteng, it was like the other party opened a huge door and welcomed him in.
"Oh, you're back. Did you catch any fish? I'm in for a treat today."
A giantess came up, hugged Obira, and then took the fish. She became the hostess of the house.
Xia Zheteng turned his head away. It was hard to imagine the giants living like ordinary people.
I always feel that the giants are either fighting or on their way to fight.
"I brought guests."
The female giant who greeted Obira then noticed Xia Zheteng below.
"Hello, I'm Obila's wife, my name is Haitang."
Hmm? Flower name, wait, Xia Zheteng suddenly thought of a giant.
"Let me ask, do you know Jasmine?"
"Oh, do you know Jasmine? It seems that girl has successfully reached the outside world." Obila and Haitang were actually happy after hearing the name.
"I'll go cook first, please wait for a moment."
Haitang took the fish from Obila and started to get busy.
As for Xia Zheteng, he was led into the hall.
This room is a combination of a living room and a dining room, with four huge chairs.
However, Xia Zheteng just sat cross-legged on the table.
Because he was sitting on the chair, he was not tall enough and Obila could not see him at all.
"Is Jasmine okay? It's been a long time since I last saw him. More than a hundred years, right?"
Xia Zheteng could only give a rough description of Jasmine's situation.
More than a hundred years ago, Jasmine was captured by the navy and imprisoned in Impel Down. Then this guy used the power of his fruit to build the 5.5th floor of Impel Down, the Shemale Paradise.
Not to mention, Jasmine is also a shemale, and the JK miniskirt with a beard on her face is really an eye-catcher.
If that's the case, Ivankov was heading for floor 5.5 from the very beginning when he entered Impel Down.
Xia Zheteng only then reacted. How could a legendary pirate from a hundred years ago join the Revolutionary Army? Ivankov's target from the very beginning was something left by Jasmine on the 5.5th floor.
And the reason why Jasmine joined was because Long and Ivankov really helped him find what he wanted, right?
That's right.
Speaking of the possibility that Jasmine is now in the Revolutionary Army, Obila smiled and said, "I am relieved to hear that he is doing well."
"Can you tell me what's going on with the giants of the West Sea? And also, the West Heaven."
"Oh, this is a long story. Let's talk while we eat after the meal is ready."
Soon, the meal was ready. It was also the first time for Xia Zheteng to eat while holding a large washing basin. Fortunately, he had a big appetite, otherwise, he probably would not be able to finish it.
While eating and chatting, Xia Zheteng, Obila and Haitang quickly became familiar with each other.
Then Obila began to introduce the giants here.
The West Sea Giants, a gentler tribe of giants, different from the violent Elbaf Giants.
For example, former Vice Admiral Sauro and Jasmine were both from the giant tribe in the West Sea. No wonder Sauro is so gentle and can become friends with Robin.
However, the giants in the West Sea appear very rarely, otherwise, they would not be so unknown.
"Come to think of it, it seems that few of you leave here."
Obila said: "This is normal because the swordfish territory and reef area outside prevent us from leaving there."
Xia Zheteng seemed to understand something and said, "Does that mean that if you want to leave here, you must pass through the sky island above?"
Obila laughed and said, "You really came here for the Sky Island. That's right, the condition for the West Sea Giant to leave is to pass through the Sky Island. The same was true for Jasmine back then. But this road is difficult to take. There are dangers in the West Sea."
So that's how it is. The West, that thing really is the West, leading straight to the Sky Island.
Chapter 151 The Giant Tree Guarding the West
"The dangers above the West are very interesting. Let's go and take a look tomorrow." Xia Zheteng came up with an idea.
Obila on the opposite side nodded and said that they were just guarding the place, as long as you were not here to cause trouble.
As for the guests who want to enter the Sky Island from the West, they will not stop them. After all, there are natural protections in the West.
"In that case, let my wife prepare some food for you. The West Heaven is not so easy to climb up."
Xia Zheteng originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was also the other person's good intention, so he said nothing.
With the Shining Fruit, it shouldn't be a problem to go to heaven. If that doesn't work, there's still the Moon Steps.
Although walking up seven or eight thousand or ten thousand meters is much more difficult than walking ten thousand meters on flat ground, it is not a big deal for the fruit ability user.
Thinking of this, Xia Zheteng didn't say anything.
However, after chatting with Obila for such a long time, the sky began to darken.
Obila let Xia Zheteng sleep in his house.
For Xia Zheteng, this house was just right as it provided a place for him to sleep.
After a night's rest, early the next morning, Xia Zheteng headed towards the west in the middle of the Sanhuan Island with a backpack full of food.
The West Heaven is indeed very high. Logically speaking, trees this tall should be visible even from outside.
But Xia Zheteng knew that no matter how many times he circled the countercurrent reef from the outside, he would not be able to see what was inside.
I guess those reefs have the ability to hide here, and they can only be discovered if you go deep into here.
In fact, it’s not that no one has come here over the years.
But not many people can get out alive.
Roger and his group are considered one of the group. As for the others, they may not believe in the existence of Sky Island.
In addition, the giants who went out of here should keep the secrets here, which is why this place has remained quiet and undisturbed.
Soon they arrived at the foot of the Western Heaven. Below the Western Heaven, there were two giants sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, resting. Of course, it was possible that they fell asleep because they were bored.
When they saw Xia Zheteng coming, they just opened one eye and looked at him, then ignored him.
Clearly this was not the gatekeeper.
Xia Zheteng looked up at the top of the tree and smiled slightly.
Sparkling fruit, let’s go!
However, when I looked around, nothing had moved. This was very embarrassing. Something was wrong. What was going on?
"The West is a test. You can only crawl. You cannot reach the West with other abilities." said a giant.
Xia Zheteng took a breath, but the problem was that his abilities were different from those of others.
There would be no problem even if he fell into the sea, so why can't Xitian use his abilities?
There is definitely a problem. Could it be that someone has set up some rules?
This big tree is restricted by rules?
