A few days later.

In the Kingdom of Alcalia, a man on a bicycle came here and after searching for nothing, he scratched his hair.

"Ah lala... I'm still a step late."

Qingzhi left the headquarters a long time ago, and after receiving the news, he immediately rushed to Alcalia. He thought that according to Alcalia's magnetic storage days, it should be enough to arrive before the Ghost Hand Pirates set sail, but he was still late.

"It's a headache, forget it, just treat it as a vacation..."

After shaking his head, Qingzhi rode his bicycle away from Alcalia. The paths that the bicycle rolled over quietly frozen into an ice road.

A few days later, the fleet of the naval base closest to the Kingdom of Alcalia arrived, confiscated Crokdal's body and reported to the top leaders of the Navy headquarters.

"Can't be blocked?"

After receiving the news from the Warring States Period, the Marshal sat behind the desk and rubbed his eyebrows, saying, "Contact Qingzhi, where is he now?"

He was naturally very clear about Qingzhi leaving the Navy headquarters. Although it was a bit too much for a pirate who offered a reward of 200 million yuan, Rhodes' influence was too bad, and Qingzhi was dispatched secretly and acted alone, so no one knew.

Just as the Warring States Period was about to contact Qingzhi and asked, a telephone bug on the table suddenly rang, which was the telephone bug that connected to the secret agency of the world government.

"Hey? I'm the Warring States Period."

The Warring States frowned slightly and answered the phone.

A low voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The government has given us full responsibility for the affairs of the Warring States Marshal and the Ghost Hand Pirates. If necessary, we may mobilize naval warships. We hope that your navy will cooperate with you with all our strength."

"……I see."

After a little silence in the Warring States Period, he responded and hung up the phone bug.

He was not surprised that the government took over the Ghost Hand Pirates directly. Compared with the Navy, the current top government officials have a much stronger desire to kill Rhodes.

Moreover, the matter in Rhodes has been in a turmoil, and it is indeed not suitable for making a big fuss. Qingzhi will travel alone, and this is why it is left to the CP organization to handle it secretly, which is indeed a suitable choice in the eyes of the Warring States Period.

...

Time goes a little further, above a height of 6,000 meters.

The speed of the Ghost was fixed to a certain extent and rose rapidly towards the sky. The sea below had become a little out of reach, and a large amount of clouds could be seen around it.

After crossing the boundary of six thousand meters, looking up, you can almost see a vast white cloud hanging from the sky, as if carrying another world.

Buzz!

The rapidly rising Ghost began to slow down. As it got closer and closer to the cloud, Rhodes jumped to the top of the mast, raised his hand and stretched out to the cloud.

Under Rhodes' control, the twisting force suddenly evoked the sea cloud. With a rustling sound, the sea cloud swung to the sides, and a huge crack was torn open by Rhodes.

The Ghost suddenly accelerated, and under the opening of Rhodes, he passed through the sea clouds and continued to rise upwards. Many fish and large monsters could be seen vaguely in the sea clouds. These monsters discovered the existence of the Ghost, but before they could come, the Ghost rushed to a higher place.

Hurry!

Finally, at the top of this white cloud, a hole suddenly broke open in the entire sea cloud. The ghost flew up from it, hovered in the air for a while, and slowly landed on the clouds.

The clouds were like sea water, steadily supporting the ghost.

“This is…the sky island.”

Lafitte came to the side of the ship, looked at the clouds holding the hull below, and chuckled, "It's really magical. The clouds can carry a ship."

Rhodes nodded. The existence of Sky Island was difficult for him to understand, but different worlds have different rules. This world is such a magical place where Sky Island exists.

After looking at the surrounding environment, he asked Lafitte: "Look at the record pointer, is there any change?"

"There is indeed a change, all three arrows point in one direction..." Lafitte looked at the advanced recording pointer on his wrist, revealing a hint of surprise.

The three arrows of the advanced record pointer usually point to three islands. If they point in one direction, it undoubtedly means that the magnetic force in that direction has reached a certain level.

After carefully observing the changing record pointer, Lafitte found that the direction pointed by the arrow was still obliquely upward, and he couldn't help looking in that direction.

"Stay going up."

"That's right, this is the White Sea. The Sky Island needs to go up three thousand meters. First, we can adapt to the environment here before we go up." Rhodz nodded.

This is the Sky Island ten years ago from Luffy's time. Any situation may exist. The Four Emperors and Hundred Beasts Kaido also played free fall over the Sky Island, so for the sake of safety, we naturally adapt to the thin air environment of the Sky Island first.

Half a day later.

Gradually adapting to the environment of the empty island, the influence on the power became minimal, Rhodes activated his ability again, rushed to the Baibai Sea at a height of 10,000 meters with the Ghost, and then sailed in the direction guided by the arrow.

"Before Ainilu came to Angel Island, he already had the ability to thunder fruit, which means that the thunder fruit was not on Angel Island, but Bika Island that he would destroy in four years."

Some memories flashed through Rhodes' mind.

After sailing in the direction guided by the record pointer, the island you finally arrived at is indeed the Angel Island in the original work. If you fall vertically from here, you will arrive at Gaya Island and enter another route on the great route, which is the route Luffy takes.

However, Rhodes's purpose is not to cross the route, but to another empty island, "Bika", so after arriving at Angel Island, the only thing to go to the island is to find a map of the empty island.

Angel Island is currently ruled by Ganford. The arrival of Lodz and others did not arouse too much hostility from the people of the Sky Island, because occasionally Qinghai people will arrive at the Sky Island through several routes.

"There are things you care about here...the stone tablet of history text."

Walking on the white clouds on Angel Island, Rhodes admired the surrounding environment and spoke to Robin who was following him.

The task of obtaining the map was handed over to Lafitte, and he was responsible for attacking... no, he was responsible for taking Robin to find the historical text stele that she cared about.

Robin looked at Rhodes strangely, not because he didn't believe what Rhodes said, but because he was a little surprised why Rhodes seemed so familiar all the way, and how did he know that there was a historical stone tablet here.

"The captain has been here before?"

"No, but nothing in this world can escape my eyes, and the same is true for Sky Island." Rhodes stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

Robin was used to the style of his captain. She tilted her head and smiled, "So, does the captain know what happened in the blank hundred years eight hundred years ago?"

Rhodes's face remained unchanged and said calmly: "The truth needs to be pursued by yourself to make sense. If I tell you now, you will lose the motivation to move forward."

“…It makes sense.”

Robin covered his mouth and chuckled, and hehe.

"Let's go."
