Chapter 303 Amazon
A few minutes after Xiaobai left, many huge bubbles began to rise in the sea not far in front of Vic. When the bubbles burst, a lot of high-temperature steam appeared, and the sea surface became illusory.
These were signs of big changes about to take place in the sea. Then a whirlpool appeared there. As time went on, the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and Vic's small boat was attracted by the whirlpool and moved closer to it.
When Vic's boat was sucked into the increasingly violent whirlpool, the whirlpool stopped. This was because the seabed cavity below was filled with water and could rush into the sky at any time.
Vic's boat was in the center of a whirlpool several meters below sea level. Vic released his Observation Haki to sense the movements on the seabed.
What Vic needs to rely on is the strong wind generated by the rushing ocean current. This wind can save Vic a lot of physical energy in case of any unexpected situations on the sky island.
Soon, Vic sensed a violent energy about to erupt. With a tap of his foot and a wave of his hand, the boat disappeared into the sea.
Vic flew upwards for about ten meters in the air, and the strong current in the sea caught up with him. Vic was directly wrapped in the current and pushed upwards.
Vic did not panic and remained standing in the sea water. This might be the last time he could soak in the sea water so comfortably!
It was not until he was two thousand meters high that Vic was thrown out by the ocean current. Vic rose easily with the help of the wind blowing into the sky. This was much easier than using the Moon Step directly to go up to the sky. If he used the Moon Step directly, the altitude of tens of thousands of meters would drain all his physical strength.
Not long after, Vic followed the surging ocean current and arrived at the Baibai Sea at an altitude of 7000 meters. This time the ocean current was only so powerful that it was no longer able to continue here.
After Vic broke away from the ocean current, he flew to a soft island cloud to rest. Getting here basically meant he had succeeded in reaching the sky. There was a cloud road on the way up that would take him directly to the real sky island.
Vic recovered all his strength after a short rest, and even adapted to the weakness caused by the thin air.
Then Vic continued to step on the air to rise into the sky. He needed to see where the Gate of Heaven was. Judging from the direction of Gaya Island, Angel Island would not be far away.
Soon, Vic saw a magnificent arch at the end of the crisscrossing rivers in the middle of the island clouds. That was the Gate of Heaven. Finding this place was equivalent to arriving at the Sky Island, and Arpaiodo and Angel Island were right in front of him.
Vic stepped on the soft island clouds and headed towards the Gate of Heaven, where there was a kind of giant lobster that could lead directly to Angel Beach. Vic wanted to ride on that to go to the real sky island, because the cloud road did not go straight up into the sky, and it would be too troublesome to go there by himself, so it would be better to do some sightseeing at the same time.
Vic arrived in front of the Gate of Heaven with a few leaps. Vic did not go in directly, but stood in front of the gate and looked at this sky portal with an unknown history.
The shape of Heaven's Gate is very much like a unique light rail station. It is not called a high-speed rail station because it is not very large.
From the establishment of the World Government to now, not many people have been able to come to Sky Island, and there is more than one Sky Island, but this island must be the most important and special one among them, just because there is a golden city and the historical text recording the King of the Sea here.
Apart from some peculiar shapes, there is nothing special about it. Behind the door is the entrance to the Cloud River connecting to the upper sky island.
Vic flashed into the wide door. Now he seemed to be standing on a light rail station. There were platforms on both sides of the river where people could stand. Vic was standing on a platform on one side.
Supervisor Amazon, who was reading a book in the duty room, raised her head to relax her stiff neck and dry eyes, then glanced outside the duty room and prepared to lower her head to continue reading.
But just now, when she glanced inadvertently, she saw a tall figure, and she thought it was an illusion because she had been reading for too long.
This place is a place where it is normal for no one to be on the boat for several years. She can only read books and pass the time here all year round. It is completely a sinecure.
This is not the gateway to those islands in the sea, this is the gate to heaven. People from Sky Island generally don’t come here, and people from Blue Sea may not be able to come here even if they want to. Not many people know about the existence of Sky Island.
Amazon closed her eyes and relaxed for a while, then looked out the window again. The figure was still there, looking at her with a smile on his face.
Amazon was shocked. There was a person here quietly, looking at her with a smile. She was almost scared to death.
Facing such loneliness every day, she was brave enough, but the scene was indeed a bit weird. This was not a real paradise, and there were no gods appearing and disappearing mysteriously.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" The Amazon mother-in-law asked with a trembling voice, covering her chest.
Although she is not as old as she will be in a dozen years, her face still has many wrinkles, like a dried plum. If it weren't for the pair of white wings growing behind her, no one would know that she is also an angel.
"My name is Vic! I'm from the Blue Sea down there. I want to go to Angel Island. Do you have any tips?"
Vic knew that there was a kind of big lobster here, but he didn't tell anyone this information. Amazon was a ruthless character who had deceived the Straw Hat Pirates and informed Enel.
Now Wick doesn't know whether her nature is to dislike the Blue Sea People or pirates, or whether she wants to use external forces to get rid of the invincible god Enelu.
If it is the latter! Although the original intention is good, the enemy is the invincible Enelu! It is hard to say how many people she sacrificed before the Straw Hats, so it is difficult for Vic to define what kind of person Amazon is.
"Are you here for sightseeing or for fighting?"
Amazon calmed down before mustering up the courage to ask. This young man who suddenly appeared gave her a strong sense of oppression, which was completely different from the feeling that God gave her.
"Is there any difference?" Vic asked calmly.
"Of course you can fight as you wish. Our gods are very powerful.
If you want to go sightseeing, you have to pay 1 million ik to enter heaven. This is the law set by God. It's up to you. I'm just asking a routine question!"
The Amazons bully Vic because he is an outsider and keep using God to scare him. The mysterious and unknown existence may be intimidating to some people, but Vic is not one of them.
Vic didn't expect that the entry fee at this time was only one tenth of what it was during the Enel period. If it was replaced with Bailey, it wouldn't be very expensive. The god Gan Ful is not particularly evil!
"I'm just curious about Sky Island and want to go up and take a look. I'm not here to fight. But I don't want to pay for it. Can you tell me what to do?"
"This...this! Then you can handle it yourself. I'll call the Shrimp Express to take you up!"
Amazon was relieved to hear that Vic was not going to fight. If he didn't want to pay, then don't give. The country wouldn't suffer any loss. If they forced the money and offended this man, even God might not be able to defeat him. He was a ruthless man who came here silently from the blue sea!
"Then call that express shrimp over, I'm in a hurry!"
Vic could see that the current Amazon might not really be so sinister, and just wanted to introduce external forces to overthrow Enel's rule. This was a manifestation of patriotism.
But it is very unfair to those who were dragged into the trap by her. The Straw Hat Pirates are easy to talk to. If they deceive Victor in the same way, Victor will not let her go.
Without another word, the Amazon pulled a long whistle from his pocket and blew it.
Less than twenty seconds later, a huge red lobster rushed out from the waterway in the Gate of Heaven. This express shrimp only showed two big claws and a big head, and its expression looked as if someone owed it a lot of money.
Vic guessed that it was just working for free here. It had to catch everything it wanted to eat and didn't get paid, so its expression was a little strange.
