On the deck of the Big White, a rare gathering of people gathered here. Then he watched the Dabai go up, from a gap in the clouds to above the clouds.
"It's completely different from when I went to Visalia~" Qishi sighed and murmured in surprise.
"It's scary. Is this an empty island? This really makes people don't know what to say!" Dorothea, who had been talking very little since boarding the ship, couldn't help but exclaimed as she was used to seeing wind and waves. "It was like living in a dream."
In front of me, there are white clouds, and above the clouds, there is a transparent white ocean. Not to mention what they saw just now when they came up from the gap in the clouds.
Schools of fish swim around...and seaweed floats, making you feel like you're in the ocean.
If such a scene is not breathtaking, then Dorothea no longer knows what kind of experience can surpass the present.
Others were either amazed or cheering, with different expressions, but they all revealed a kind of excitement.
Sky Island, even in the New World, is something few people can access.
"Yes, this scene is almost speechless even if we have been to Visalia."
Keya sighed in a rare way, and then took out some instruments brought from Visalia to test them.
The situation of the Sky Island. The old men in Visalia once told them some insignificant content with a smile, but more importantly, they reminded her that if she went to a real Sky Island in the future, the first thing she should do was to Measurement.
The purpose of measurement is not to identify things like weather and direction, but to ensure that you are still on an empty island.
The basic composition of sky islands is composed of island clouds, which are solidified clouds.
There are books in the library in Visalia that speculate on the reasons for the formation of the Sky Island.
The submarine volcano sprayed the powder carrying the sea floor stone component into the high altitude together with the sea water. The powder reacted with the sea water to form an island cloud. The island cloud was solidified and became an empty island. The island cloud that did not solidify and flow became a white sea.
Of course, these are all speculations. Keya doesn't know whether this is true, but in the eyes of the meteorologists in Visalia, this is not something that needs to be concerned about. They only have the weather in their eyes, and they only accept the rest casually.
Otherwise, where did the Devil Fruit come from? This problem can make countless researchers frustrated. Not to mention, Vegapunk, who is known as the most genius scientist, has never found the source of the Devil Fruit.
As for why we need to measure, the reason is very simple.
This sea is not safe.
The sea of clouds, the sea of clouds, is an ocean formed by white clouds, but it is not a real ocean. Such an ocean has a large number of gaps, and these gaps can make people easily fall from a height of 10,000 meters. The purpose of detection is to predict those dangerous gaps through the strong airflow brought by these gaps.
If Yuyouzi were here, she would sigh.
Just like what Gan Fore said, those who can reach the sky island by a method other than a safer road are without exception the lucky ones.
Landing on the sky island so suddenly can be said to be full of dangers. If you take a few steps, you will fall back into Qinghai and die without a burial place. There was almost no chance of survival. People like Keya who can learn some knowledge in advance that can be used on Sky Island...
almost none.
After all, no one has ever been a loyal Uimi like Yuyuko.
Suddenly, Dorothea clutched her chest and frowned, then lay down softly.
Everyone quickly noticed Dorothea's condition, and Mina headed over to check on her.
"Sister Dorothea, what's wrong with you?" Mina asked with concern.
"Uncomfortable, dizzy...the reason...lack of oxygen..." Dorothea said with some discomfort, "It should be because the air on the island is thin...it will be fine once you get used to it." Then Dorothea was a little surprised. He looked at everyone and said, "Don't you... feel it?"
Feel?
Question marks appeared above everyone's heads.
Does this need to feel like something?
Qishi crossed her arms and squeezed her career line hard. When she found that she really squeezed, she never gave up. She raised her head arrogantly and said lightly, "I just feel you are so weak~" As she said that, the angle of elevation gradually became 45 Spend. Under the sun, it deserves a beating.
Everyone had a dark look on their faces, and Ke Na even gave the iron fist of love without hesitation.
Keya suddenly laughed, "I see, I understand." "Sister Dorothea, you'd better have a good rest first. As for us... The reason is actually very simple. The air at high altitude is very thin, and like this We have long been accustomed to the environment after flying in the air for a long time, and this should be the first time you have been to high altitudes since you joined us. Just rest more and get used to it more."
Dorothea was relieved after hearing this, but her expression was a little unnatural.
Although Keya said it very gently, she just felt uncomfortable for no reason, and she felt like she was being educated as a junior by a junior. But seeing the concerned eyes of Keya and everyone around her, she didn't think much about it. Everyone is a relatively straightforward partner. Even Qishi can only be said to be a bit outspoken and a bit irritating, but he doesn't have any bad intentions.
But in this case, she could only go back to her room to have a good rest and adapt to the environment of the empty island.
…
"Six thousand eight hundred meters..."
Looking at the data on the altitude detection instrument, Keya frowned and looked at the sky.
Above this ocean, there may be endless clouds.
"What's wrong?" Kona noticed something wrong with Keya's expression and asked quietly.
Keya directly expressed his conjecture without any secret, "I doubt that we have really reached Sky Island. This may not be the Shibai Sea that Yuyuko mentioned." He pointed up, "That may be the real Shibai Sea."
Kona frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's not rush. The power loss of vertical ascent is too serious. To be on the safe side, we should replenish the energy reserve before trying." "Now, let's explore here first. Youyou Zi told me before that I might encounter ticket inspectors who charge a fee."
"...Ticket inspector" Keya was suddenly speechless. "Is Sky Island actually a tourist attraction..."
Kona spread her hands helplessly, "How do I know? Yuyuko said we would know by then. Her original words were, 'It should be similar to the scenic spot now.'..."
"It's really a statement that makes people unable to complain." Keya rubbed her forehead, and her intuition told her that Youyouzi definitely knew their current situation, and even knew more, but that guy just didn't say it, deliberately letting them feel it themselves. .
He is truly a captain who is both loved and hated, and unable to complain about him.
In the end, Keya sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe if we go a little further, we'll meet Nom, that ticket inspector..."
Under Keya's detection, everyone managed to get around the edges of various gaps without any danger, and the closer to the back, the fewer the gaps. Until now, the ship has not encountered any gaps for almost ten minutes. Intuition told Keya that they might encounter something now.
Sure enough, after the Dabai cruised for a while, a large number of white clouds began to appear in the surrounding scene, and there were a large number of white clouds stacked in front of them. It looked like a waterfall composed of white clouds, and in front of everyone from the many solid islands. After passing through the clouds and arriving at the waterfall, I discovered that there was a place with a "Gate of Heaven" hanging there, similar to the toll entrance of a tourist attraction.
Keya was speechless, "It's here! A tourist attraction!"
Qishi was even more confused, "There is actually a place similar to the paid entrance to attractions..."
Kona slapped her forehead, "So... the ticket inspector or something..."
It actually exists.
"So this should be the road to the top, right?" Keya said uncertainly.
However, although he was a little uncertain, looking at the waterfall connected to the cloud layer above, Keya felt that this possibility was very high. Even though climbing a waterfall sounds a bit absurd, Yuyuko once said that her hometown, Wano Country, is a country where you have to climb a waterfall to land.
Dabai continued to move forward, and after reaching a gate similar to the one used for tourists in scenic spots, a figure walked out of the building.
"Travel or war?"
"???"
The speaker was a very short old lady, and the only thing that seemed surprising was the white wings on her back.
"What do you mean?" Kena asked with a frown. "What's the difference?"
After hearing Ke Na's question, the old lady raised her drooped eyelids a little. She looked at everyone carefully and then showed a strange smile. "Traveling has nothing to do with fighting. As long as you go to the upper level, everyone needs to pay the entry fee." The cost is 1 billion ik.”
"Ik? Is it Sky Island currency?" Keya asked doubtfully? "Can I use the currency of the world below?"
"The currency of Qinghai? No problem, 1:10,000, one hundred thousand beli for each person."
Everyone looked confused.
"What's wrong? Do you have any more questions?" the old lady asked again, as if she remembered something and added, "Didn't I introduce myself? I am the prosecutor of the Heaven's Gate of the Island of Gods, Amazon. Do you have any questions?" ?"
Everyone shook their heads.
One thing came to mind.
The exchange ratio of 1:10,000 is too magical no matter how you think about it! (The proportions in reality are even more magical)
You must know that Bailey, as the world's universal currency, is actually relatively inflated. The most valuable things have always been devil fruits and gold. And Bailey, a newspaper costs hundreds of Baileys. . And Bailey, who had grown to such an extent, actually matched the currency of Kongdao at 10,000 to 10,000, so everyone was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.
Finally, Qi Shi said calmly, "Is the currency of your empty island made of earth? It's so cheap."
"Tu? Are you talking about Bas? That's a priceless treasure. Please don't use money to measure the nobility of Bas."
Everyone was speechless again.
What are you talking about? We don’t understand it at all! This is not on the same channel at all!
"Forget it, let's not worry about this. That means everyone needs to pay one hundred thousand beli, right?" Kena took a step forward and came to the bow of the ship and asked seriously.
Amazon nodded, "That's right. One billion iq per person, converted into Qinghai currency, is one hundred thousand beli."
Kona nodded without saying anything, turned around and went to the captain's room to get one million Baileys from Yuyuko's small treasury.
Amazon counted the money and nodded, "A total of one million Baileys, an extra 100,000 Baileys." After saying that, he divided the 100,000 Baileys and prepared to return it to Kona.
Kona showed a mysterious smile, "Forget it, just treat the extra 100,000 Baileys as one of us."
Amazon paused after listening to Ke Na's words. His eyes glanced at everyone suspiciously. He seemed to confirm something before nodding. "We understand, but wait a minute. Since you entered the country legally, I need to take a photo to report." After saying that, Amazon took out a camera from behind and started taking pictures of everyone.
"Okay, the rest of the journey has nothing to do with me. I hope you all have a pleasant journey."
With that said the Amazon turned around and prepared to return to the room.
At this time, Mina looked at the sky-high waterfall behind her, "Then how do we go up? Do we have to keep flying up?"
At this time, two pairs of huge pliers emerged from the sea of clouds below, and a pair on the left and right stuck the Dabai.
Just when everyone was confused and ready to take action, the voice of the Amazon Elder came
"Express shrimp, a specialty of Sky Island, they will take you to the upper level."
Before he finished speaking, two giant express shrimps had already lifted up the Big White, and they both used their strength to rush the Big White toward the waterfall, and climbed vertically from the waterfall without any hindrance.
When the Great White disappeared above the waterfall, Amazon hesitantly looked at the one million Baileys in his hand.
"It's not a hundred thousand Baileys, but two hundred thousand Baileys. There must be nine people on that ship..."
(Note: The other road on the sky island should be the high-speed air road in the New World Chapter, a road that allows you to fly directly at a very high altitude.)
(Note 2: During Luffy’s time, the hiring fee for Sky Knight Gan Erfu was 5 million Ik at a time, which was actually 500 Beli, which was extremely cheap. A copy of the News of the World only cost about 200 Beli. So it was so domineering to see and hear it all at once. The master's selling price is only this small, which also shows that he is indeed a conscience.)
