Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

While searching for something on the beach, the old man told his story.

He was originally an aborigine living on this cloud beach, but because of the war between the two empty islands, he was forced to move to live in the upper layer of the cumulus cloud.

When he came back this time, he mainly wanted to see if there was anything he could take away from his old house, but unexpectedly, he only saw a beach that had been completely destroyed by thunder.

"Oh, I knew..."

The old man shook his head again and again, the wrinkles on his face deepened.

"If it wasn't for my niece insisting that I move away, I'm afraid I'd be a pile of ashes on this beach now!"

This place is close to the border of Sky Island, and it is most likely to be affected by war.

But the old man repeatedly stressed that he did not need help.

"Help me? No need, how can I help?"

The old man smiled wryly and said, "Can you stop the war that has been going on and on for several years?"

Luo Wen touched his chin and murmured, "It might not be possible."

"Um?"

The old man was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"Oh, just talking to myself."

Luo Wen smiled at the old man, "We are going to the upper layer of the Cumulus Cloud, but we don't know how to get there. Do you want to go with us, old man?"

The old man rummaged through the ruins in front of him a few times, but in the end he only found a few broken planks. He couldn't help but sighed and cursed:

"Those little bastards don't know how to restrain themselves. This used to be a tourist attraction for Qinghai people!"

Qinghai——is the name of the people of Sky Island for the sea below.

In the end, the old man who found nothing patted the ashes in his hands and sighed:

"There's nothing left, so let's go together."

Rowan nodded, and Crocodile followed behind them.

Before leaving, Crocodile smoked a cigar, looked back, and suddenly saw a tall and thin figure on the hillside in the distance.

"Um?"

Crocodile squinted his eyes again, but the figure disappeared without a trace.

He wouldn't suspect that he was wrong, but because of the backlight, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

It can only be vaguely seen that there is a huge "circle" behind the man, which seems to be some kind of decoration.

"Hello?"

Crocodile gestured to Rowan with his eyes, he was sure that the other party also sensed the existence of that mysterious guy.

But what made Crocodile feel uncomfortable was that Rowan ignored his hints, but continued to chat and laugh with the old man, understanding the whole story of the war between the sky islands.

"Tsk, whatever."

Crocodile smacked his lips, and didn't bother to care anymore.

Anyway, for him, these messy things don't affect him at all.

Anyone who dares to come, he dares to kill!

...

On the way to the upper layers of the Cumulus clouds.

"So, it was another sky island called Bika that broke out with Sky Island?"

Rowan thought about the old man's words and asked, "How long has the war started?"

"It has been about five or six years since the first friction between the two sides."

The old man recalled: "In the beginning, it was just an ordinary conflict on the border, but later, the scale of the battle became larger and larger, and finally turned into a war."

"Being fighting all the time?"

"No."

The old man shook his head, "On and off, sometimes every few weeks, sometimes every few months, and the main battlefields are all around the border."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help sighing: "Originally, there were many people living on that beach, but now everyone has left, and I am the last one..."

The old man was muttering to himself, while Rowan looked back at Crocodile behind him.

"Little crocodile, what do you think?"

"..."

Crocodile didn't want to answer, but Rowan had already asked, so he could only say with a sullen face, "This is not a 'pure' war."

It has dragged on for several years, even intermittently, such a "war" obviously has another purpose.

But Luo Wen shook his head, and said slowly: "There has never been a pure war, never, any war has its purpose."

Crocodile was noncommittal about Rowan's point of view, and asked instead: "So, what did you see?"

Luo Wen replied with a smile: "Someone is using that war to 'train troops'."

"Um?"

This point of view was indeed unexpected to Crocodile, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Training? Who wants to train?"

"Who knows? The leaders of the two empty islands, or even their generals, are all possible."

Rowan replied: "After all, war is the best exercise."

Having said that, the old man on the side suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, I remembered."

"A leader, yes, a leader."

He turned his head and said: "About six or seven years ago, a young man named Enilo appeared on Bika's side, and he took over Bika's ruling power. The war between us and Bika also started at that time of!"

Hearing this, Crocodile fell into deep thought.

Anilo? He has never heard of this name, so he should not be a certain figure in the great route.

But Rowan's eyes narrowed.

Anilo——Of course this name is very familiar to Rowan.

Natural thunder fruit ability user!

In the future, he will destroy his hometown Bika with his own hands, and then he will come to Sky Island and take the Sky Island from the then leader of Sky Island, that is, "God" Gan Foer, in an attempt to build an ark "Proverbs" ", and then reached the infinite land in his dream.

It's a pity that this ambition eventually lost to Luffy and his party.

Back to the present time.

At this time, Anilu was about 20 years old, exactly the age of youth.

As for the destruction of his hometown Bika, it should be a few years later, and Enilo still lives there now.

In fact, according to the old man, Enilo not only lives in Bika, but even has a great right to speak in Bika, and is the actual leader there.

After all, he is a devil fruit ability user of the natural department!

Among them, Enilo combined knowledge-colored arrogance with his own fruit ability characteristics, and developed a special knowledge-colored arrogance that can cover the entire sky island-Xinwang.

"The one named Enilo is leading Bika to launch a war on this empty island for the purpose of training soldiers?"

Crocodile recorded the information silently.

He always likes to make decisions before acting.

The three of them walked all the way, and at the edge of a white sea pier, they saw the wooden boat that the old man was riding in.

In the distance, there is a large white waterfall, which is the special section that must be taken to reach the upper layer of the Cumulus Cloud - Yunliu Waterfall!

There are several huge cloud waterfalls all over the place, connecting the middle and upper layers of Cumulus clouds.

The three boarded the wooden boat.

Crocodile looked at the old man's thin arms and legs, slightly surprised.

He didn't believe that the old man could row the boat up the waterfall by human power.

And indeed it is.

The old man blew a whistle, a huge lobster suddenly clamped the left and right sides of the wooden boat, and then rushed towards Yunliu Waterfall with the wooden boat at an extremely fast speed.

Sky Island specialty - small express shrimp.

Crocodile looked at Rowan, and found that there was a strange light in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Rowan took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and began to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him.

Crocodile said with a dark smile, "Do you have a plan?"

"Probably." Rowan nodded.

Crocodile took a sip of his cigar, "The war between the two islands, you, a third party, intervene, be careful to make the whole sky mess up!"

Rowan grinned and said, "Actually, the current situation is very good, even better than I expected."

"Um?"

Crocodile did not understand Rowan's words.

Rowan picked up a shell on a wooden boat, looked at it carefully, and then explained:

"The so-called war is the extreme outburst of emotions."

"And people who are in extreme moods are the easiest to be guided."
