From Admiral to the Gotei 13

Above the sky, the white sea.

Diarmuid stood in front of the warship, holding an old chart of the empty islands in his hand, and looked at it.

In addition to the cupola currents here on Gaya Island, there are indeed other routes to the Sky Island in the world.

The most stable of these is the Western Heavens.

I hadn't seen that Ludilmud, but the navy occasionally entered the Sky Island from there.

It's just that the sky island and Qinghai are not too entangled, so all the time, whether it is the world government, the navy, or the pirates, they have little interest in the sky island, and even the vast majority of people do not believe in the existence of the sky island.

"This is the Land of Gold?" Gion asked, looking at an island floating in the clouds in front of him.

"No, the Land of Gold is near where we landed on Sky Island, and this should be Sky Island Bika." Diarmuid shook his head.

"Aren't you going to find the land of gold first?" Gion asked, a little surprised.

"The land of gold is there, and if you can't run, I think you should look for the Thunder Fruit first." Diarmuid shook his head.

After a slight pause, he said helplessly: "The chart of the sky island is too old to be confirmed, whether this is Bika or not..."

"Just go over and ask." Gion smiled.

In fact, for the search for the Thunder Fruit, Gion didn't expect too much in his heart.

But seeing that Diarmuid was so serious, she couldn't say anything frustrating.

After all, Diarmuid came to look for the Thunder Fruit, and it wasn't for her good?

Although I also know that this bastard is so kind, he should hope that his combat effectiveness can be enhanced, and he can better help him in the future.

But Gion was still a little moved in his heart.

Thunder Fruit...

This guy doesn't really want to soak me, right?

Do you want to obey him?

But he hasn't shown anything, this kind of thing, I can't be too proactive, right?

I'm a Navy flower too, and the suitors can go all the way from Marlingford to Mary Joy.

Gion hadn't thought about these issues before, and was even tired of the suitors.

Especially Gaji's bastard, he confesses to her at every turn, so that the whole navy knows, it's embarrassing, right?

She sternly refused to add money every time, and didn't give him any hope, just to make it difficult for Jia Ji to retreat, and stop doing these things that embarrassed everyone.

But the plus is still so head iron.

It is precisely for this reason that Gion has always been a little reluctant to emotional matters.

Until Diarmuid turned out.

I have to say that sometimes, the appearance is not the same, and the results are not the same.

Although Jiaji also has great potential and his strength is also very good, he just looks a little unbearable.

On the contrary, Diarmuid is tall, handsome, and strong, and he is the only candidate for a major general in the Navy Headquarters in the past 20 years.

And he's also very interesting, and his charm is really high.

When Diarmuid was mixed under the staff of Ahe, the navy girls under the command of the chief staff officer confessed to him.

But he also refused.

Gion and Diarmuid were at the same time as the 6th Officers' Training Camp, and since then, they have known each other, and later they have a good relationship, and now they are transferred to work under Diarmuid, and they have more contact and time together.

To say that Gion didn't have some affection for Diarmuid is really fake.

Thinking wildly, Gion glanced at Diarmuid from time to time, and in a moment, his cheeks turned slightly red.

Diarmuid didn't notice the change in Gion, and while studying the charts of the empty island, he pulled the warship to the island.

Bika is really small and small, and after the warship approaches, it feels like standing on the warship and being able to take in the entire island at a glance.

On the harbor of Bika, there are also some Sky Island people, who are different from the humans in Qinghai, and they have a pair of small wings on their backs.

But that was almost decorative and did not support them to fly.

Warships or something, occasionally every year or two, a few months or something, can still be seen once, so the air island people in the harbor are not particularly shocked.

They also know that ordinary warships pass by, just to replenish them, and they have never troubled them in their spare time, so there is no panic.

Soon, Diarmuid stepped down from the ship, casually found an uncle from the empty island, and asked with a smile, "Is this Bika?" "

Uncle Sky Island nodded and said, "It's Bika, yes, are you going to replenish supplies?" "

"Hahaha, that's not necessary, we have a lot of supplies, I came to Bika to find something, I hope I can ask you to help." Diarmuid said as he stretched his hand to the side.

Gion was also very eye-catching, and took out the pattern of the Thunder Fruit that had been prepared for a long time and handed it to Diarmuid.

"Looking for what?" Uncle Sky Island asked quite enthusiastically.

"Well, I don't know if you've ever heard of Devil Fruits?" Diarmuid asked after smiling and handing him the drawings.

"Cursed Fruit?" Uncle Nakong Island said.

"Well, that's about it, right?" Diarmuid nodded, he didn't know what the people of the Sky Island called Devil Fruits.

"It is rumored that if you eat this fruit, once you enter the White Sea, you will fall directly into Qinghai, and you will be disgusted by the god of the sky." Uncle Sky Island smiled and explained.

Diarmuid nodded, probably understood, anyway, they are all landlubbers, and the white sea has no bottom, if you eat the devil fruit, once you fall into the white sea, it is estimated that it will be equivalent to a free fall at a height of 10,000 meters...

"So I've seen this demon on the island... Well, the Cursed Fruit? We are here to find it this time, and for that, we can buy it at a high price. Diarmuid said with a smile.

"How tall?" The uncle asked.

"Ahem, 200 million Bailey?" Diarmuid hesitated.

"200 million Baileys? Isn't that two trillion iks? The uncle said with a shocked face.

There is a difference between the currency of the empty island and the common currency of Qinghai, and the exchange rate is about 1 to 10,000.

One Bailey is equal to 10,000 Ik.

Diarmuid still knew this information, so he said with a smile: "That's right, two trillion ik." "

It sounds like an immensely large fortune.

But in fact, if you enter the Sky Island by the regular route, the ticket you have to pay just for coming up will cost one billion Ik, so the money here is really fake and empty.

Maybe if you eat a bowl of beef noodles, it will be hundreds of millions...

"Then I can go and find it for you, the temple usually suppresses these cursed fruits, maybe there is the one you want." Uncle Nakong Island hurriedly said.

200 million Bailey, he wants it very much!

"Temple?" Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know much about the empty island, and there was not much information in the navy.

"Well, there is a temple dedicated to the gods, and if we find the fruit of this curse, we will send it to the temple and use the power of the gods to suppress their curse." Uncle Sky Island said.

Diarmuid was interested, didn't that mean that there might be other Devil Fruits on Bica?

"Can you show me there?" Diarmuid asked.

"Yes, then this money..."Uncle Sky Island said with some hesitation.

I thought you were very enthusiastic just now, and you were a money obsesser for a long time.

Diarmuid sneered, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, as long as you take me to find this curse fruit we need, I will give you no less than a penny!" "

"Then you come with me." Uncle Nakong Island nodded.

Then he walked directly to the town of Bika with Diarmuid.

Diarmuid was a little surprised, are you people on the Sky Island so innocent?

I'll just say it, you don't have any doubts?

Thinking of coming to this place to be isolated from the world, pirates and other evil parties rarely come up, and occasionally the navy comes, it is estimated that they will not bully these simple 'little angels', causing them to be a little naïve, right?

But this is a good thing, Diarmuid is not prepared to do anything to them, it is good to get the thunder fruit.

After entering the town, you can also see a lot of Sky Island people with small wings.

But occasionally, you will see people without wings, most of them are little ghosts, who look pathetic and seem to be very discriminated against, and some of them are looking for food in the garbage can.

"Who are those people?" Diarmuid asked.

"They are wingless people, just like you Qinghai people, but they were born on Sky Island, which means that they are cursed by the gods and born with sins, and in Bika, they are seen as bad omen, and although we will not kill them, we will not help them, and try to minimize contact with them..."Uncle Sky Island explained in a low voice.

Diarmuid nodded, understanding what he meant, no wonder he could only see a few little ghosts.

It's hard for them to grow up the way you do...

Suddenly, he remembered that Anilu seemed to be the so-called wingless man, no wonder that the guy would destroy the entire Bika after obtaining the power of the Thunder Fruit.

It turned out that the root appeared here, and it is estimated that his hatred for Bika is very high, after all, he has been discriminated against and targeted...

This kind of person, suddenly gaining strength, is normal to take revenge, and Diarmuid puts himself in his shoes, feeling that he may also become radical because of this.

As for why he ate the Thunder Fruit, look at the little ghosts who are looking for food in the garbage can, and you can understand it.

Most likely, they were hungry, and they couldn't find anything to eat, so they took the risk and went to the temple to steal their 'cursed fruit'.

People are going to starve to death, what curse are they afraid of?

The temple is not big, but it looks a little resplendent, and it seems that their god is also a relatively arrogant god.

Along the way, I talked a lot with this uncle, and I also had a certain understanding of Bika and Sky Island, and Diarmud.

This empty island people should be considered relatively ignorant, or in other words, because they are hanging high in the sky, it is difficult to contact the knowledge and culture of the outside world, so the social state is still relatively primitive.

The ruler of each island is called a 'god'.

It's their spiritual leader, on weekdays, everyone has their own way, and there is no need for someone to rule, whenever there is a festival, God, the spiritual leader, will show up and lead everyone to engage in sacrifices or something.

In general, the social structure of Sky Island is loose and very simple, everyone is considered a child of God, and life is easy and there is not much pressure.

Pretty good...

Diarmuid had nothing to say about the culture and social structure of Sky Island.

After entering the temple, he was baptized and worshipped the gods, and Diarmuid followed suit.

People here attach great importance to the so-called 'gods', so it's better to respect people's beliefs.

After worshipping the gods, this empty island uncle led Diarmuid to the place where the 'cursed fruit' was suppressed.

At this moment, Diarmuid doesn't want to complain about anything anymore, this temple is too loose, right?

Can anyone come in and make trouble?

I don't have the slightest defense!

I have the impression that there are other organizations such as the Divine Guard on Angel Island, you Bika... Is it completely autonomous?

Could this Nima be the legendary Datong society?

So why do you still value money so much?

It's just inexplicable!

In the end, it is not unreasonable to be destroyed by Anilu.

The vigilance is too bad.

While complaining in his heart, Diarmuid walked into the room and saw a god statue, and at the foot of the god statue, there were three square plates, each carrying a devil fruit...

Diarmuid's eyes lit up, there were three?

And one of them, indigo blue, with a strange lightning symbol, is exactly the same as the one Diarmuid saw in the illustrated book, it is the legendary thunder fruit!

It's sent!
